wasnone too pretty. Re •sp lie sav-
aelle', and before they knew it, those
neighbors had said things they found
hard to forgive. They. came into
court—a damage suit-4lanked by
lawyers. If the trial had gone
through it would have left two men
who ought to have been friends more
bitter toward each other than ever.
The loser would have hated the win-
ner all the more because the latter
had won. That's the trouble with all
legal decisions --they seldom decide
anything worth while.
"I called these two men and their
lawyers into my chambers. We talk-
ed about golf (both were hot golfers)
and in about five minutes they had
shaken hands and called everything
square.
"Argument about fact can be the
worst possible tactics in a lawsuit.
You have to get at fundamentals.
The victim of what the law decrees
is never wholly convinced that the er-
ror has been established. He has a
sense of injustice done. On the other
hand, you can sometimes send the
guilty to jail truly repentant and
truly believing that justice has been
dune. For example, I had before me
a young man charged with embezzle-
ment. Oh, he was guilty enough but
he was prepared to fight. And be-
side him sat his pretty wife, deathly
white and .horribly afraid. But loyal,
"Suddenly I saw the agony in the
man's eyes as he looked at her. And
I took my cue from that. I called
dem into my Mice, lawyers and all.
"Look here," I said to the young
fellow, you know barter than aaybodv
else whether you're guilty or inno-
cent. You are de :rm.ned to go ro
the jury with your story. Vees well,
but remember the gill here. Think
vd is going to be best for her—fox
her peace of mind. If you're guilty,
don't drag her thr Hugh a trial. It
would half kill hes. Thinkfl The
sooner you get it over, with, the soon-
er you'll be back to her. And she'll be
waiting. You know that."
"There was no trial. I sent him to
Waupun for three years. When he
came out, his wife met him at the
gates. He is the head of his own
business to -day and a highly respect-
ed man. It works, you see.
"Suppose we put it this wav: Find
the simple emotions underlying the
situation. Play on these until you
have your audience in your hands.
Deep emotions are simple and few.
Make 'em laugh—make 'em weep.
And then, my boy, you have them—
and it. No, people don't accuse me
of being a faddist. I've been at it
too long. I've been 25 years in the
Circuit Court."
"But do your litigants always yield
to conciliation?" I asked.
"Nearly always," he replied. "If
they don't they usually regret it when
anger cools. Voluntary settlements
remove the last barrier to fair under-
standing. Two sides to every story
—every story. Voluntary settle-
ments permit people to walk out of
court with their pride intact, their
heads up. Neither has confessed
wrong and both feel magnanimous."
SETTLED OUT OF COURT
The reading of Old Man Hanphe's
'will --disposing of $150,000—had been
followed in Jefferson County,
Wis-
consin, by months of bitterness. The
numerous Hanphe family had split in-
to two factions, each bent upon oreak-
ing the will. Then the good news
'was published that Judge George
Grimm was going to sit on the case.
becom-
ing
rapidly Judge Grimm, who is p Id.
Y oom-
ing a national figure because, among
other reasons, less than five per cent.
of his heavy calendar ever gets as
far as the jury, would have the em-
battled Hanphes shaking hands and
weeping on each other's shoulders in
a couple of hours.
And he did. The Judge did it with
that easy-going, humorous cunning of
On one side of the court sat one
faction of Hanphes, with Ann, the
Old Man's eldest daughter, at their
head. And yonder sat Mary, Ann's
sister, the matriarch of the other
crowd.
Judge Grimm began to speak—not
about law at all. He talked about Old
Man Hanphe, whom he had known
well. He talked about the old buggy
he drove, about the way he tied his
necktie, about his funeral. Of course,
this sort of talk couldn't go on. It
didn't. The Judge was interrupted by
Mary, who suddenly buried her face
in her hands.
"Ann," she wept. "Oh, Ane!"
And, with a rush, Ann Hanphe was
at her sister's side, and the two were
in each other's arms, weeping. The
Hanphe men were on their feet look-
ing sheepish.
I"Go on;" said Judge Grimm )tot
Elzar Hanphe, "go shake hands with
your brother."
And that's how the case ended—
all of them signing a settlement which
the Judge drew up at the hotel that
might. The dispute had been "Grim-
med!" It was the 18th case he had
"Grimaned" in three days.
Do I hear someone scoffing, "Small
town stuff?" It would be well, then,
to know that Judge Grimm, his meth-
e4s, his succeses, are being flattered
by imitation throughout the North-
west and that representatives of law
in the great cities are trying to cap-
ture his formula.
And with excellent reason. The
National Economic League has voted,
as the most important question in
American life to -day, the arbitration
of court cases and the facilitation of
judicial administration. That body
has sought the advice of Judge Grimm.
In the First Judicial District of
New York 40 judges drawing aggre-
gate salaries of about $900,000 a
year give verdicts involving approxi-
mately $10,000,000 annually. It costs
the state. that is, 25 cents to award
every dollar. Not that these awards
end the litigation. Appeals are fre-
quent.
And practically two-thirds of the
actions brought in these courts come
to nothing, owing to delays caused by
court congestion. Half of these ac-
tions are abandoned by litigants who
have grown tired or who ran no
longer afford the money to give bat-
tle to a wealthier opponent. The
stronger, richer litigant fomes the
weaker to surrender, whatever the
merits of the suit.
Plaintiffs are eager for arbitration,
hut the simplest complaints — which
might be disposed of in an hour by
Judge Grimm—are complicated in
time by offshoot cases, absurd and
illegal defenses, countersuits institut-
ed to befog the issue.
"There's no particular trick in
what I've done," says Judge Grimm.
"The essential feature involved in
any case is the human relationships
involved. Peace has to be establish-
ed by the understanding of the rights
of your opponent."
When Judge Grimm first put his
arbitration idea to work, he soon re-
eilized that he must have the support
of the lawyers. To this end he point-
ed out that whether a case was set-
tled out of court or went to trial, the
lawyer was entitled to his fel;.
"There's nothing so wonderful a-
bout the average lawsuit as the in-
significance of its beginning," said
Judge Grimm. "You have to get
back to those beginnings to 'lake the
contesting parties understand how ab-
surd they are—or how futile.

ENDORSES SARGOR.
Few men in America are known to
more people from coast to coast than
William D. Uipshaw, former Congress-
Man from the Fifth (Atlanta) I )s-
triet of Georgia. During his eight
years in Washington he attained na-
tional prominence. A well known na-
tional magazine described him as "the
most amazing roan in Congress:'
,Obeying a grateful impulse because
of the great physical !blessing receiv-
ed through the use of Sargon, Mr.
Upshaw writes that he is simply do-
ing unto others as he would have
them do unto him in making the fol-
lowing voluntary statement:
"MI first experience with this re-
markable invigorator came in the
summer of 1928, when Sargcn was
brand new. 'I was suffering from
nervous debility and an alarming
physical depletion as the result of
over -work on the •lecture platform,
and really feared I would not have
strength enough to get me through
the political campaign of July and
August. Unbelievable as it may
seem, two 'bottles taken with the Sar-
gon Pills simply made me over. Af-
ter the most hectic speaking cam-
paign through which I ever passed, I
came out actually feeling far stronger
than when I began.
"Later, rushing away on another
busy speaking tour covering several
States, I did not persevere in the
daily use of the medicine until my
system was thoroughly cleansed, with
the result that twice since then I
found myself again sufferir+'g from
general debility, constipation and
dizziness, and each time the Sargon
combination has cleared me up and
left me feeling tip-top.
"Living now in the aftermath of
those refreshing experience:', I am
moved by common gratitude to heart-
ily commend this wholesome and ef-
fective medicine to everybody whose
run-down condition calls for complete
restoration.",.

A MOTHER'S ANXIEI
About Her Delicate Daughter.
"She seems to be fading away," said
an anxious mother recently about her
daughter. Thousands of mothers
could say the same thing. Their
daughters endure a trying life robbed
of all vitality and brightness. Their
cheeks are pale; their eyes dull: their
step languid and every movement
tells of shattered health. If neglected
their suffering grows more acute till
decline sets in.
If your daughter complains of
weariness; pains in the side; weak-
ness; headache or backache; her ap-
petite is uncertain and her spirits
low—anaemia is the cause. She needs
new blood. Give her Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills at once for these pills

perfect health.

Raised 2,000 Turkeys.
In its effort to promote the, profit-
able raising of turkeys, the Ontario
Government established a turkey farm
in the County of Norfolk. The object
was to show that birds of this var-
iety can be raised with profit. The
experiment has proven quite success-
ful. This year more than 2,000 tur-
keys were hatched and raised on the
farm. A ,short time ago one thousand
of them were sold' at 30 cents per
pound. 'What is passible on the Nor-
folk farm is equally so on other
farms in the province. Turkeys can
be raised and sold profitably at a
much lower price than that demanded

which provided him with unparalleled
opportunities to work hard and prac-
tically no opportunities to exercise
authority. The direction of the king-
dom remained in the hands of his
Aunt Judith who was made empress
in 1917. Judith appears to have been
a jealous, superstitious, short sighted
and rather stupid woman who came
to the throne by accident in the course
of a kind of religious revival. Her
predecessor was Lij Yasu, a jovial and
good natured soul who made the mis-
take of being tolerant of the Moslem
faith.
At this point it seems advisable to
point out that whatever else they are
—and they are a good many other
things—the Abyssinians are Christ-
ians. Being Christians they were not
prepared to put up with any heretical
flirtings with Moslem theology on the
part of their emperor, or, as he was
'called in the good -old days of the op-
en bar. Negus. So Lij was dethroned
and remains a royal prisoner to this
day. Judith became empress and Taf-
fari was declared the next in succes-
sion. He came in contact with the out-
side world from time to time and
gradually arrived at the conclusion
that Abyssinia was a backward na-
tion, though perhaps a land of in-
finite natural resources which had nev-
er been explored. He found that ig-
norance was one of the most appal-
ling features of his fellow -country-
men, and it is a fact that few of them
even the priests and wealthy, can read
and write. The death rate was shock-
ing. Modern medical science, as in-
deed modern science of all kinds, is
unknown there. Apart from pride and
pedigree and warlike inclinations the
truth -seeking prince discovered that
the Abyssinians were no better than
any other tribe of Africans.
But for some time he could do neo h-
int about it, the empress being de-
termined to carry on in the old fash-
ioned way. The friction between them
and their factions increased and fin-
ally reached a point in 1928 when
there was an attempt to assassinate
him. There followed something be-
tween a rebellion and a palace cham-
ber intrigue, the outcome of which
was that the empress relinquished her
power and surrendered her throne to
Ras Taffari. Since then he has been
king in truth and has taken every op-
portunity to introduce the western
culture which he so profoundly ad-
mires. Visitors believe that if he lives
long enough he will completely revo-
lutionize not only customs, but
thought in Abyssinia. That is one
reason why the civilized nations of
the world have gone to unusual
lengths to make his coronation mem-
orable. As a member of the League
of Nations Abyssinia has taken her
place with modern nations, not in-
cluding the United States, and King
Taffari will speak for her.
Abyssinia, as most readers are a-
ware and as we have found it easy to
learn after a brief glance at the mac,
is a small country, about the. size of
France, in Northern Africa„ complete-
ly landlocked, and surrounded by for-
eign nations. It is only recently that
she has been able to secure from Italy
a duty-free seaport, in exchange for
certain valuable oil mining rights.
The Abyssinians are supposed to have
descended from King Solomon and
the Queen of Sheba, and some histor-

ABYSSINIAN MONARCH IS
PROGRESSIVE RULER
On Sunday a new king was crown-
ed, and the dwindling companionship
increased by one. It is true that the
new king is what is popularly but
erroneously called a Senegambian. He
is pretty black. He is, in fact, the
King of Kings, and his country is
Abyssinia. If the other nations do not
concede that his title is an apt and
descriptive one, they at Nast are not
penly criticising it for the most im-
portant of them sent impressive re-
presentatives to the ceremony. The
Duke of Gloucester was there with
his party of 15, and the Italion Crown
Prince, Italy perhaps having a more
immediate interest in Abyssinia than
great Britain. From all courts there
came costly gifts and eloquent felici-
tations. Perhaps the whole shr,w was
the most gorgeous that such a squalid
little town ever before witnessed, for
even those who would cordially ad -
Ras Taffari to be King of Kings
would have to concede that his im-
perial metropolis and capital is what
is known in Et]ropean royal circles
as a dump. The most imposing of the
dwellings have tin roofs. The others
are mainly mud huts. In honor of the
coronation, however, it is understood
that eight residences in the modern
style were unveiled or dedicated, or
whatever the Abyssinian ceremony is
called.
Addis Ababa, the city, Ras raffari,
the king and Abyssinia, the nation
are of a good deal more interest and
importance now than ever 'before; and
it seems that the importance has
been .created largely by the king. He
has Western ideas, and is said to be
an extremely hardworking and pro-
gressive monarch. It ie true that other
Abyssinian monarchs have been in-
dtrs'trious but there the resemblance

Candied Apples.
Boil one and one-half cups of sugar
and one cep of water until a thick
syrup is formed. In this syrup sim-
mer gently one pound of apples, par-
ed and quartered, and when the fruit
is clear lay it on a plate to dry in
the sun and then roll in sugar. Honey
may be used instead of sugar syrup,
and the fruit is particularly good pre-
pared in this way.
Almost all other fruits may be
candied in a similar way. The fruit
should not be overripe and the small
fruits, such as apricots, cherries,
small pears, may be left. whole
The number of recipes for chopped
dried fruit in various combinations or
with nuts is legion. Some of these
are tvery laxative and those made with
figs should be avoided for the younger
children up to five or six years old,
because the seeds may be too irritat-
ing to the lining of the intestines.
Fruit Dainties.
1 cup of figs.
1 cup of dates.
1 cup of raisins.
1/2 cup of candied orange peel.
1/2 cup of nut meats.
Put all through a meat chopper, add
two tablespoons of lemon juice,
roll out to about one-half inch on a
board sprinkled with powdered su-
gar. Cut in squares and roll in su-
gar.
All sorts of variations of this re-
cipe can be made. For the smallest
children it can be made with prunes'
instead of figs and the nuts omitted.
It can be shaped into balls, or, after
rolling, can be cut into fancy shapes.
Grated orange peel may be added in-
stead of the candied peel.
Next come the combinations of
fruit and sugar with gelatin, and a-
gain it is hard to select a few to offer
as suggestions as these candies are
so good, so easy to make and almost
universally popular.
Apricot Candy.
Soak two tablespoons of gelatin for
five minutes in one-quarter cup of
lemon juice and one-quarter cup of
cold water, then dissolve in one-half
cup of boiling water. Add to one
cup of sugar and two cups of strain-
ed apricot pulp, cooked together until
all the sugar is dissolved. Pour in-
to a shallow pan, which has been
rinsed with cold water, and chili. thor-
oughly. Cut into squares and dredge
with sugar.
Orange Delight.
Soak two tablespoons of gelatin
for five minutes in two-thirds cup of
orange juice. Take two cups of sugar
and two-thirds cup of orange juice.
and bring to a boil, add the gelatin
and cook twenty minutes. Remove
from the fire, add two tablespoons
of lemon juice and proceed as with
apricot candy. Although the direc-
tions for cooling the mixture after
adding the gelatin seem to contradict
the usual principles of cookery, this
recipe "works" nevertheless—doubt-
less due to the fact there is about
twice the ordinary amount of gela-
tin required..

In discipline, and the scales level off.
The Legion has a splendid record
of achievement; it is an organization
that has always been shoved head'
first into the worst ,pitfalls laid for
French arms by a benevolent govern-
ment that saw but folly and wastage
of fine French manhood in the risking
of regular regiments of the line in
such dangerous work. But that was
what the Legion was for, and it stoi-
cally did the jab with an eye to
meticulous workmanship.
In 1916 the Foreign Legion was
cited in action on the 'battlefield' of
La Campagne from Souvain to Ferme
Navarin; from Somme Pye to Butte
Souvain, and at Arras. Again in the
Gallipoli campaign the Legion saw
action at iSaloniki; then it returned
to Africa to police its own bailiwick
until 1925, when it went into action
in Syria, where much transpired for
a year or so. The permanent head-
quarters of the Legion are in Africa,
and its full fighting strength to -day
is 14,000 men.
An organivation made up of the
many types which the Legion incor-
porates must be kept rigidly in hand,
and
nothing merciless discipline
will accomplish this. Desertion, fin-
ancially and geo'grap'hically well nigh
impossible, carries the penalty of
death during periods of active service,
and in times of peace a sentence of
eight years in a 'French prison. A fine
point obtains in the matter of deser-
tion as to whether a state of war or
peace existed at the time of the of-
fense; keeping in view the frequency
of minor uprisings in a turbulent
country.
When the Legion is on active duty,
prison and garrison punishments are
impossible; so there are called into
service two forms of discipline which
time has proved extremely efficacious.
One, called en silo, consists in burying
the offender up to the neck for a per-
iod of hours, the semi -suffocating
weight of the earth, together with
the victim's' utter immovability, bas
ing a strong tendency to calm any
effusiveness. Much more severe is
the punishment of en crapudine. The
offender's hands are toed behind his
back, his ankles 'bound, and then
forced to his knees, his hands are
lashed to his ankles, pulling the body
into an agonizingly unnatural posi-
tion from which there is absolutely
no relief. An hour or less of this usu-
ally results in cries for release which
cause the victim to be gagged, and
unconsciousness from this torture
comes within two to four ho•xrs. It
goes without saying that the offender
hesitates a long time before letting
himself in for such agony a second
time.
Like the Legions of old, the Foreign
Legion has been a prodigious builder
of roads, laying aside the rifle to
take up the pick, a form of occupa-
tion that lends little glamour to the
life. As for glamour, it may be said
that though to the average person the
Legion spells romance with the sol-
diering left out,to the average Leg-
ionary it spells soldiering with the
romance left out.

Honneur Fidelite-Valeur et Discip-
line—such is the motto of that re-
markable fighting force, the French
Foreign Legion. The motto, when re-
viewed in the light of the facts, con-
tains more than a touch of European
irony. The words Honneur and Fidel-
ite suggest the original thought be-
hind the formation of the Legion: to
give a man who had made a mistake

Scarcely had Dr. Strachan been in-
ducted than the Battle of York was
foulght, and if character is destiny,
destiny in the form of Dr. Strachan's
character saved York from bein
burned in 1813, and sharing the fate
of Niagara. The American General,
Pike, with superior farces9 having
routed the small force defending York
was shortly after killed by the blow-
ing up of the garrison magazine, and
his successor, General Dearborn, en-
raged, determined, in retaliation, to
destroy the town, Dr. Strachan, de-
puted to parley promptly accused the
General of barbarity, should he do
this. The "little rector's" high char-
acter and earnestness won the day
and York was saved. Following this
incident came a lasting peace, with
the Rector of York emerging as
scholmastoer, as well, for there is
extant a list of "The Young Gentle-
men of Toronto educated by Dr.
Strachan before 1827" which includes
the names of Robert and St. George
Baldwin, Boulton, Chewitt, Gamble,
Givins, Heward, Ridout, Robinson
Sherwood, Small, Spragge, Stanton
and other early York family names of
which Toronto is still proud.
About this time Dr. Strachan, be-
lieving that the source of all progress
was education and the hope of Upper
Canada, founded King's College and
in large measure Upper Canada Col-
lege, and though old King's College
died, to rise gloriously in the secular
vision of the University of Toronto,
he yearned for the cloistered quiet of
King's and its voice of prayer, "with-
in whose walls the eclipse of faith had
taken place." Then in 1832-34, with
his flair for action, we find him fight-
ing the fearful cholera scourges, when
hundred died, "for he visited the sick,
prayed for the dying, shrouded the
dead, made with his own hands their
coffins, and buried them in hastily
made graves." So in consequence,
midst the acclaims of York, John Stra-
chan valiant soldier of God', was con-
secrated first Bishop of Toronto in
1880.
Years and years ago, that dear man
of fragrant memory, Rev. Arthur H.
Baldwin, Rector of All Saints, Toron-
to, was fond of saying "Rebuke the
devil and he'll flee from you; rebuke
the deacon and he'll fly at you," and
in measure this exemplified the good
old Bishop's state of mind when, in
1854, the Crown "confiscated the
clergy land reserves" as his rather
tropical observation termed it. The
Bishop, knowing better how to resist
than to conciliate, emerged' defeated,
and tagged the issue " a monstrous
robbery designed to undermine and
destroy every parish and bring the
Anglican Church to ruin," and, for a
time, so rumor hath said, the rebuked
Bishop (deacon) was inclined to fly
at anyone.
The last great undertaking of "John
by divine permission, Bishop of To-
ronto,." as he inscribed himself, was
the founding of "Trinity College, child
of his old age, entitled to the protec-
tion of daily prayer," and as this col-
lege grew in vigor and influence it
garrisoned his heart and kept it beat-
ing happily, for in September, 1800,
we have a pleasant glimpse cf him
entertaining Albert Edward Prince
of Wales, at "The Palace" where he
lived in Front Street, just west of
York, and if 'stories of his hospitality
be true, none could have done better.
Thus, after ninety years of journey-
ing, John Strachan, wayfarer, joined
that vast army of immortals on All
Saints' Day, 1867, and it was seemly
that this Christian soldier, on his last
journey to St. James' Cathedral should
pass through the serried ranks o£
the 13th Hussars, famous for their
participation in the "Charge of the
Light Brigade." It is interesting to
record that Mr. Thomas E. Aikerhead,
of hardware fame, who still survives,
witnessed this funeral, as a boy, from
King and Yonge Streets.

BISHOP STRACHAN BURIED
SIXTY-THREE YEARS AGO
Sixty-three years ago John Stra-
chan, first Bishop of Toronto, having
filled history with his deeds, was laid
to rest in hallowed earth beneath the
chancel of St. James' Cathedral, his
death having occurred on November
lst. For sixty-five years of the test-
ing times of war, plague and pioneer
life he "fought the good fight" for
church, state and education, and prov-
ed as doughty a warrior as any of
those ecclesiastics who, in the prim-
eval days of England, led armies into
battle. John Strachan, ono of the
last bishops in Canada to be appoint-
ed by the Crown, came -to York from
Kingston at the behest 'o£ General Sir
Isaac Brock, hero of Queenston
Heights, taking charge as Rector of
York during the war of 1812. At that
time he expressed a wish that every
parish in Upper Canada should be
well educated' that religion and
learning should react on each other,
purify manners and blend with the
hard, rough influences !of backwoods
life, the social and home refinements
that he had known' in Aberdeen where
he was born In 1778, It would soon
that those 'spiritual ideals were just
what York, midst mud tend malaria,
needed, for this sprightly Scot nearly
always whistling "Yankee Doodle" as
he walked, and greatly loving little
ehll4h'e'n, was destined to guide York's
pioneers for fifty-five years, his em -
orgy and versatility In that time ere-
ating institutions and -traditions that
