Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
Somehow or other, Boston does
not suggest bigamy. It suggests art,
> ulture, and delightful spinsters who
have traveled the world over and
brought back with them a world of
brown photographs, many Baedeck
ers and the knowledge of the globe ■
trotter.
H hen we think of Boston's ma-1
terial side, we remember baked'
bi an* and brown bread, but bigamy i
scents foreign to the land of the t'a-j
mous "Tea Party" and the "Minute
Men."
Wo should pass by the spectacle
ot the lady-bigamist with a sign for'
human depravity, if she had not a;
quality (hat if kept within bounds
is a highly desirable asset the
• luulity of looking young. She tur-i
nishes not a bad illustration of the!
maxim of our vices are but an ex
aggeration of our virtues. By some
magic or other she succeeded in.
Keeping her heart and her tace so !
young that she is now facing a sev-:
cral years' sentence in the Boston
Penitentiary.
She had a quality that many es
timable women would do well to|
possess she did not let the dally I
grind of life wear her out.
She was thirty-six, the mother of|
six children, and doubtless had kept:
house, done the marketing, contend-1
ed with the cook —or done her own
cooking—mid yet she was able to!
paSs herself off for nineteen. She |
borrowed her nineteen-year-old!
daughter's gown, plaited her hair, I
turned it up with a bow of ribbon
and nia.ned a soldier of nineteen,
named M.uthew Crawford.
In Her Daughter's Name
She gave her daughter's name to
the proud bridegroom, and had no
difficulty in making everyone con
cerned—-groom, minister, witnesses,
etc. —believe she was nineteen.
Perhaps she was insane, which
would be the only excuse for hor
conduct. The whole affair is too
preposterous, too absurd, for the'
deliberate act of a woman in lier (
right senses.
To conduct bigamy in the same J
town with her family and marry un-|
'itr the name of her oldest daughter- i
lor, is i little too much for evenj
deliberate wickedness.
Nevertheless, I would like to take l
this lady bigamist, who at thirty-1
.-ix could palm herself off for nine-!
teen and fool the bridegroom, the;
minister and everybody else, and Ij
would like to put her in a glass!
case and show her to all the weary,!

bedraggled little women that 1 see
in the shops and markets, accom
panied by the inevitable go-cart, and
say to hci".
"How did you do it, Mrs. Gould?
What is your secret, and won't you,
before you go to jail, where you
really ought to go, share it with
these poor, tired women who look
double their age and crawl about
as if they were even older."
1 hawe no doubt the fair bigamist
would answer: "I don't worry, but
I have always been careful to avoid
anything in the way of Don't Worry
Club.* "
The frozen smile, of which 1 am
going to call the "itrofessional
gladster, ' is the most aging and de
vastating thing in the worid. There
is something about that inane busi
ness that is against human nature.
And any one who is "glad" for as
many misfortunes as that tiresome
young prig would be playing croiiuet
in a home for the feeble-minded
rather than being at large convert
ing the village to her morbid optim
ism.
I ani aware that something more
than a year ago someone produced
a brilliant essay, begging forgiveness
for the foolish and inane "gladster"
craze as the direct descendant of
Robert Louis Stevenson. And claim
ing that the w hole system of morbid
gladness was attributed to the phil
osophy of the famous Scotchman.
With thousands of other Steven
son "fans." this made me indignant.
Stevenson, while stricken with a
mortal ailment, made the lives of
innumerable men and women bright
er by his matchless art. that is not
to be mentioned in the same sentence]
with the "professional" glad vapor-:
ings.
Stevenson made you glad in spite,
of yourself by his charming story
telling gift. And he wasn't forever-j
kicking up his heels and clapping
his hands because something had
gone wrong, and that made a fur
ther occasion for "gladness."
He knew he was doomed to diai
young and he did his work In a
splendid, straightforward manner
and he did no prating about his mis
fortune in between times.
So I am sure the lady from Boston
wasn't a professional "gladster."
When things happened to try her
patience, she probably didn't go in
for any handclapping or glad grim
;! aclng. 1 dare say she was just hu
■ | mane about it. ..
I Children ami "lirowiiupa '
And doubles* she entered into the
> I spirit ot' play with those six children
' and didn't teel a moment older than
JI any or them when the run and
j romping were going on.
t \\ hen people have been given the
t j inestimable blessing ot children,
r isn't it better to enter into the spirit
i ot their play and tun than to stand
1 aloof like an angry deity watching
[ tor their smallest offenses that they
s may be punished? It parents would
i uluy love ipuiu and puitisii iuoS, tiici'e
{ would be so much less ot a parent -
iland-child problem to face through
i the coming years.

' | love, and uie parem wily is ooeyeu
■ 1 with fear may be sure there is no
•! love on the child's part; the love

t' Perhaps lam all wrong about the
li bigamist lady of Boston. Maybe
•! she was unkind to her children and
- slapped and cuiTed them and in
■ spired terror rather than love. And
■ I perhaps she fretted and fussed over
[ her housekeeping and her war work
s the same a.- - the average woman.
But it is 100 bad that anyone
' wicked enough to commit bigamy
. should have possessed the secret of
[ looking nineteen when sne was tnil

i can't make some amends for her

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPII
U.S. AMBASSADOR
FRANCIS CABLES
MIRBACH'S DEATH
First Word Since June 24
Comes From Representa
tive; Tells of Fighting
Washington, July 9.—Ambassador
Francis at Vologda, in a message
dated July 7, bringing the first word
received from him by the State De
partment since June 24, has con
firmed the report of the assassination
of Count von Mir bach, the German
ambassador at Moscow.
The killing occurred at 3 p. m..
July 6, and latest repoits reaching
the ambassador said fighting was
progressing in the streets of Mos
cow. Wireless messages to the
Soviet government told of the cap
ture of several prominent Bolsheviki
officials by revolutionists and of the
arrest of revolutionary leaders by
Bolsheviki forces.
Similar information reached the
department' from the Associated
Press representative at Vologda, who
said ihere was street fighting both
at Moscow atjd Jaroslav.
Felix Willoughby Smith. United
States consul at Tiflis, Russia, has
arrived at Moscow, where he is as
sisting in the work of the consulate,
according to an announcement to
day at the State Department Mr.
Smith left Tiflis with the members
of the consular forces of all the
allied nations when the German mili
tary forces advanced on that city.
It is understood at the State De
partment that Vice Consul Hoyoker A.
Doolittle. accompanied Mr. Smith.
Consul William L. Jenkins has left
Trebisond to join the consular forces
at Moscow. It was said at the State
Department that no apprehension
was felt for the safety of these men
at present.
50,000,000 Face Fjiiniiic
Fifty million people in Russia will
suffer famine within thirty days un
less they secure relief from the
United States and the Allies, accord
ing to cable advices received here
yesterday. The food crisis in Russia
has been precipitated by disordered
conditions in Siberia.
In an official quarter it was
thought the report of the food- crisis
in Russia would hasten the expected
American economic intervention in
that cquntry. It was further be
lieved that regardless of the extent
of American participation in the in
ter-Allied operations on the Mitrman
coast the United States would seek
to aid Russia by w&y or Siberia.
The report on food conditions in
Russia received in Washington says
Central Russia already is suffering
for want of food. Crops tn the
Ukraine and in the Russian prov
inces overrun by Germany have
been commandeered, it is said, by
the military authorities. The only
available surplus lies in Siberia, and
this has been cut off by the in
tarnecine warfare in that part of
Russia.

FORMER STATE

Fall Hastens End

WILLIAM H. SMITH
By Associated Press '
Philadelphia. July 9. H.
Smith, former state jcommlssioner of
banking, died here to-day. He was
K6 years old.
The former commissioner's death
j was hastened by a fall which he sus
i tained about four weeks ago at the
• residence of his son, William R.
I Smith, with whom he iived.
William Hinds Smith was widely
j known among newspapermen and
| bankers throughout Pennsylvania,
j generally recognized as one of the
I best posted state banking officers in
1 the country. He was born in Phila
; delphia August 26, 1851, and went
i from the schools of the city into the
! office of the Evening. Star, then in
its heyday. One of his early friends
wns Edwin S. Stuart, late governor,
while he came to know intimately
many of the prominent men of Phil
adelphia who esteemed him highly.
He rose to be city editor of the Star
and was also on the staff of the led
ger, Times, North American and In
quirer. In 1882 he was chosen one
of the trustees of the city gas works
and ten years later became chief
clerk of the city treasury.
Mr. Smith's connection with the
State Banking Department began in
1895 when he was ,named as an ex
aminer by Daniel H. Hastings, then
governor, and he was chosen by Gov
ernor Stuar* to necome commissioner
in 1909 as successor to John A. Ber
key. He was twice reappointed, but
asked by Governor Brumbaugh to
resign early last year about the time
of the speakership contest. The re
quest for his resignation, which is
generally believed to have been po
litical, seriously affected Mr. Smith
and he never recovered his health)
which had become impaired.
Women as Bank Clerks
Able to Keep Secrets
London—War experience in the|
employment of women as bank
clerks has convinced British bankers
that women are able to keep busi
ness secrets quite as well as men.
When women were first admitted
Co employment in banks, the Brit
ish directors and managers feared
that some of their customers might
withdraw their business, believing
their financir.l affairs m+Kht become
the subject of gossip. "It is grati
fying to think." savs the "Bankers'
Magazine," "that after three years
of experience of the new conditions,
no ground whatever has been found
for these fears."
