Te the Editor 0 the Kucnlne iubI(e Ledger:
Sir The discussion of divorce In your

very much, ns I am one of the many seek

the letters of "Happily Married" and A Min

these peer unfortunate people de seu think
are overwhelmed with Jey that thtlr married
llfe was se unhappy that they had te seek
a dlvorce? I, for one, only wish It were
posslble te sign -m J self happily married
ler sears I lived with u man whom I
couldn't even respect, for I was subjected
te such Indignities nt his hands that he waa
ropulslve te me, and knowing this he forced
me te live with him by threatening te take
his llfe If I left him. Instead of trying te
de better, he became n beast. Irving with
him any longer wus out of the question.
Don't think that I have taken thla step
en the impulse of the moment, for I spent
many a aleepness night praying for guidance,
and, I think. If, Instead of condemning, seu
would investigate you will And thnt dlvorce

Questions Answered
Who Was King Cele?
Te the Editor of the Vventite-Piibtlt Lrdni-r'
Sir Can seu Inform me who was "Klnc
Cole" of nursery rhyme fame? I cannot
placn him. I understand he wis a king
of Scotland, a lever of music, and had 0.
daughter, Marjerle, who )s celebrated In
the lallad published In the Seventeenth centers-,
from "nn old ballad," by Allen Itanv
aey T D. E.
rhlladelphla. October 28. 1020.
King Cela was a mythical llrltlsh king.
The nursery rhyme refers te a king who
reigned In Hrllaln In the Third ci-ntury.
According te Rebert, of Gloucester, he was
thn father of St. Itelene, who was the
mother (1) of Constantine He was viry
popular.
Politics of Presidents
Te the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir Please advlse thn politics of the va
rious Presidents Did net the Itepubllcans
succeed the Whigs? ANXIOUS.
Wilmington, Del., October 28. 1920.
Washington and Adams, the first and
second Presidents, were Federalists. Jef Jef
fereon, Madisen, MMnree nnd J. Q Adams
represented what wan then known aa the
Republican party. The Democratic parts
of today claims Ilncftl descent from this
first Republican party, with President Jef Jef
fereon aa Its founder. Jehn Qulncy Adams
claimed te be a Republican, but his doctrines
were decidedly Fedcrallstlc. The opposition
te hU administration took the nam. of
Democrats, and elected Jacksen President
The ether Democratic Presidents hnve been
Van Ruren, Tyler. Polk. Plerc-, lluchanan.
Cleveland and Wilsen. The first Whig Presi
dent na William Henry Harrison- who waa
inaugurated In 1841. The ether Whi Presi
dents were Tayler nnd Fillmore, The first
Republican President waa Abraham Lincoln,
anu me euiers were Jehnsen, arant, Hayes,
Garfield, Arthur, llenjamln Harrison, Mc
Klnley, Roosevelt and Taft. The Republicans
did net succeed the Whigs, aa the last Whig
President was Fillmore,
"When a Feller Needs a Frlerjd"
Te the Editor of the Evening Publle Ledger:
Sir Will you kindly Irferm me In th
columns of the People's Torum where I may
find the original of the snylng "When a
Fcller Needs a Friend," which Is the ligend
appended te a number of humorous cartoons
published In the Kvrnine Pliime Lctiesn,
The sentence would Indicate the title of a
poem by Whltcem'i Riley or Sam Walter
ress, put I am unable te nnd It In any
collection of either of these poets, I am
qulte sure that I saw It in the fugitive
verse of some newspaper of the past.
HENRY O. WARE,
Salem, N. J October 20. 1020.
We cannot give you the origin of thla
snylng, but presume, as you suggest, that
It came about through the popularity ,of
the poem "Wien a Peller Needs a Friend
We de net have a copy of the poem In
our collection, consequently calinet give seu
the name of the author.
Stars In the Heavens
Te the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir In a recent discussion aa te the num
ber of stars In thn heavens there was much
difference of opinion, nnd several mem
bers of the party asserted that millions
were te be seen. Can you threw any
light en this subject te help settle the
dispute? WILLIAM T. OWENS,
Philadelphia, October 27, 1020.
On a clear night. If we leave out the
faintly luminous Milky Way, It Is said that
we see fewer than 3000 distinct stars. In
the whole starry sphere, of which we see
only halt at any glcn time, there tire only
a scere of first mngnltude stars. Of stars
of the second magnitude, like six of the
seicn stars In the Dipper, there are In
nil s'xts'-flve Of star, of the third mag
nitude, lllte the remaining star of 'life Dip
per, where the handle Joins the trawl, there
are 190, Of the stars of the fourth mag
nitude, under ."01). of '.he fifth, Just ever
1000, and of the sixth, the extreme limit
vlslble te the naked eye en the best nights,
something ever 3000, making In all fewer
than S00O start vlslble at any time te the
nak?d eje, while only half, or auuut 2B00,
tan be seen at uny ena time.
Cost of Trial en Defendant
Te the Editor of the tinning Public Ledger:
8lr In a criminal case where the de
fendant has proved himself Innocent and the
Jury" finds him se. Is ther,e any law w hereby
the court can place the costs of the case en
the defendant?
(inenc.E T. HAINES.
Philadelphia. November 1, 1020.
In ul I prosecutions,, except thnse for the
mero serious felonies, the Jury has the right
te determine whether the costs of prosecu
tion, after acquittal, shnll be paid by the
county, the prosecutor or the defendant who
has been acquitted.

And the landlubber He down below, below,

And the landlubber lie down below.
Then up spake the cook of our gallant ship,

"I have married a wife In Salem town,
And tonight she a widow will be."
Then up spake the cook of the gallant ship,
And a fnt old cook was he:
"I care much mere for my kettle and my
pet
That I de for the depths of the sea,"
Then three times 'round went our gallant

Then three times 'round wtnt our gallant

Sir I would like very much te ee print
ed In sour People's Forum that beautiful
short poem entitled "He Lcadeth Me," Ue
glnnlrv "In pastures green."
O. D. SLVNN.
Philadelphia, October 17, 1020.
HE LEADETH ME
In "pastures green"? Net always, some-
times He,
Who kneweth best, in kindness lcadeth me
In weary ways, where neavy shadows be:
Out' of the sunshine, warm and soft and
bright.
Out of the sunshine Inte dnrkest night,
I oft would faint with sorrow and affright-Only
for this I knew He held my hand:
He whether In green or desert land
I trust, although I may nut understand.
And "by still water"? Ne, net always se!
Ofttlme heavy tempests round me blew.
And -o'er my aeul the waves and billow
go.
Dut
when the storm beat loudest and I
cry
Aloud for help, the Mas'er standeth by
And whisper te my soul, "Le, It Is I."
Above the tempest wild I hear Him say:
"Ileyend this darkness lies the perfect day.
In every puth of thine I lead the way."
Se, whether en the hilltop high and fair
I dwell, or In the sunless vnllcya where
He, what matter? He la there.
where'er the pathway
The shadows 1
And, mero than thl
lead.
He gives te me no helpless, broken reed,
Rut His own hand, sufficient for my need.
Se where He lead me I can safely go.
And In the blest hereafter I shall knew
Why In Is wisdom He hath led me se.
