Presence of Mind.

From the San Francisco Post.
In moments Of peril there is nothing ike
presence Of mind, unless it is absence Of body.
One moonlight night old DR.. Ba1embee was
returning from a patient, near Mission Bay,
when he discovered that his steps were being
lodged by burly rufiisn, evidently intent on
robbery. They were in lonely part OF the
town, when the Doctor after buttoning up his
coat to the chin, turned up his collar and pull
ling his hair over his eyes, suddenly turned
back and, walking up to his pursuer, said:
"Plesse give me a dime to get a cup OF

THE February number Of the Manhattan
has been received. This is oae OF the newer
order Of New York magazines, profusely and
elegantly illustrated, and filled with the very
best OF current literature. The present num-
Der is more than interesting; the table OF con-
tents embracing "Autunn Camps on Ca
yuga," by William +. Taylor, is a bright and
breezy paper, full Of the open air, while the
illustrations show, as never before, all the
picturesque features Of the beautiful Lake Ca
yuga, the home Of the Iroquois in the time Of
the famous chieftsin, Hiswatha. Another H.
Illustrated article is both a philosophical and
amusing paper by Frank Beard on "Csrics-
ture," Of which the we'll drawn and humorous
illustrations are in the best vein OF that popu-
lar drauehtsman. Beautiful, both in drawing
them, the froatispiece-of an interesting mar
rs,ive poem, "The Queens Revenge" by
Thomas S. Collier. The drawings are by
Will II. Low, and the engrsvinss are by the
mastery hands Of Henry Wolf and Mueller.
"Shakespeare's Sonnets in new Light" is
fine literary article from the prscticed hand
of Junius Henri Browne, and "a Poets
Wife," is an elegant and witty comedy by
Brander Matthews. In deeply interesting
paper, traversing quite new field, S. G. w.
Benjamin, United States Charge d'Afaires
and Cossul-Gensral in Persia, describes his
journey across the Caucasus" last year to
take possession Of his post. In second part
OF Creation or Evolution" George Tieknor
Curtis shows the insukciency of the proof Of
the theory Of Darwin. The fiction Of the
Humber is the first part OF an absorbing and
skilliully wrought story, Transformation,
by Harriet Prescott SpoHord, and another
chapter of Thinking Cynbals," by Edgar
Fawcett, who here will much excite the curl
osity Of his readers. Among the poets Of the
number is Judge Noah Davis, presiding Judge
of the New York Supreme court. Other
poets are Mary Bradley, Ella Wheeler, Chris
topher P. Cranch and Margaret Eytinge. The
various departments are well filed, and some
amusing drawings illustrating this Leap Years
Valentine we'll close the number.

WHEN the leading papers all over the State
berate the Legislature for its inaction in not
accomplishing anything to settle the great
troubles that now aflct the State, it is time
for the people to look into matters. Like all
other Democratic conventions. the Legislature
is simply body of schemers, and every
member is far more DESTROYS of advancing
his own interests than those of the State. As
yet nothing has been done Of a practical
nature, and until the little war which has beer

Tho Normal Institute.


We have attended as opportunity offered
the various exercises OF this body now In
session. and observed with interest the
methods pursued and principles inculeated
which in the main seem well calculated to
promote the great cause OF public educa-
tion. and TO prepare teachers for the impor-
tant duties deyolying on them, Too much
cannot be said in praise OF the earnest and
untirlng efforts both OF the teachers and
learners. Our public school system Is one
in which men Of all parties, sects. and
creeds should feel the deepest inter-
est, and for this very reason all who desire
its success should earnestly strive TO divest
1t OF all political and sectarian influences.
Any effort TO convert this great public in
terest into a machine for political propa-
gandism deserves prompt rebuke. for
nothing could be more fatal to it, useful
ness. The administrators OF the great
Peabody bsnefaction were and are fully
impressed with this view, as is evidenced
by their ayOwed purpose to contribute no
pecuniary aid in any case where political
or sectarian ends were sought TO be pro-
NOTED.
We are glad to say that in the main the
addresses and teachings at this Institute
are not fairly subject to criticism in this
respect. The exception was to be found in
the address OF Superintendent Fsrr. which
not only exhibited the dnimus OF the in
tolerant partisan, but such total disregard
OF facts as can only be accounted for on the
score Of gross ignorance or determined mis-
representation.
We take the liberty OF calling the public
attention TO 1t, because we do not desire TO
see the public schools impaired In their
usefulness, nor the State deprived Of the
benefit OF all aid from the Peabody fund,
which will assuredly be the result II there

Death ofDr. Augustus Bodsksr.

DR.. Augustus Bodeker died at his resi-
dence. in this city, yesterdaY.m0rning, in
the sixty-siXth yesr OF his age. He fell 4
prey to consumption, from the dread effects
Of wh hich he had long been patient sufferer,
and his demise was not, therefore, unlocked
for. DR.. Bodeker came to this country
from Hanover, Germany, in 1887, and
learned the drug business with y. III.
Strecker. In 1916 he commenced business
for himself, which lie conducted success
fully, and for many years be was one OK the
leading druggists OF this city. He associa-
ted with himself in the conduct OF this blsi-
ness bis brother. but last june on account
OF .iailing health. he withdrew from the
firm OF Bodeker Brothers, Of which he was
the senior partner, and retired from active
business. In 1874 he served In the Isegis-
laiuIe OF Virginia as a member OF the House
Of Delegates, and for many years was one
OF the Board OF Magistrates, frequently oc-
cupying the position Of presiding justice.
In all relations Of life he was an honOred
and valuable citizen, whose usefulness In
life and integrity OF character commanded
the respec. and esteem OF men wherever he
was known.
DR.. Bodeker leaves wife andtwo daugh-
tiers to mourn their irreparable loss.

country after their elder brother had made

knew him well aud long, VIC can say with
unieigned sincerity that he was truly en-
dowed with the beautiful traits OF character
Of citizen. neighbor, and friend; and what
Scripture defines as "pure and indebted
religion" was worn by him as an unpre-
tending chaplet despite the cares and trials
that some way attach to all through LIES
