DIR. de ISOven's Letter,

At IA recent exhibition of dolls in Chi
cago IA doll was shown which once had
letter addressed to it by the late DIR.
dc Kovon, the great Episcopal high
church leader 1t was as follows:
MY DEAR WAx-I am glad to hear of your
birth, and that you We're named for mo- and
that you are of wax. You could not be of bet
ter stuff for minister You will look sweet.
This will please the young You cannot talk
too much. This will please the old. You can
wink at things which you will have to do.
You will eat little; you will need but small
pay. When you are bruised, you can be put on
shelf without word, and a doll, new, fresh,
and with red checks, will take your place. II
you have to be a martyr by fire, you will melt
easy and save pain to those who have to put
you in, but if you do good to even one little
girl like c. your life will be worth u great
deal. So goodby, from your affectionate friend,

LIQUID Compensation,

AS illustrating the great value placed
Oh littlo whisky by some folks in rural
Maine, where prohibition prohibits,
this story is told: IA big red faced fel-
low, who was suffering from a long spell
of enforced abstinence rs well as from
an injured toe, was brought into the Of
fee of well known physician of cen
tral Maine to have the toe amputated
The sufferer objected to the use of ether
or chloroform, but when the doctor turn
ed out u tumbler of whisky for him to
drink he no longer opposed the proceed
ings, and the toe was cut off without
trouble, Reyiving after the operation,
he looked at the foot meditatively for o
moment, ami then cooked his eye shrewd.

marked, 'gi' me another tumherful of
that whisky, an you may cut off another

HOmemaking and Housekeeping Built on
Trivialities.
Men and women don't need to swing
clubs to break up home concord A
snoer and awaspish tongue will be quito
as effective. Sarcasm and nagging are
to the atmosphere of love what sand flies
and fleas are to summer. Who would
not prefer an occasional brush with a
roaring June bug to the torment of
flea you can't catch?
Unjudgcd, accepted, trusted to the end
A man must hold his friend.
There is moro than one virtue that
has gone out of date along with town
pumps and tallow candles. There is the
old fashioned trick of loyalty to ones
friends. There are plenty of friendships
which, like costumes, are put on and
off to suit circumstances, but the Gus
tom of sticking up" for friend, as
our grandmothers called it, through all
trouble and calumny, whether deserved
or not, went out with calashes and knee
buckles. How many understand the deep
and delicate meaning of the words Ruth
spoke so long ago to Naomi, 'Thy
friends shall be my friends?" We all of
us number so called friends upon the
ephemeral records we keep whose lips
are ready to traduce, unchallenged by us,
the names of others for whom we vow
an equal regard. 1t should be as impos-
Gible for us to listen to word of re-
nroach against any one whom we love
as it would be to say the slanderous
thing ourselves What does the sensi-
tive plant do when rude touch approach
es its blossoms? Just what we should do
when the breath of scandal touches our
friends
If loyalty is out of date SO is mod
esty. do not allude to the modesty
that would interfere with q womans
plan to go half dressed into theater
box or to public reception. pass that
by and take up the question only of
such modesty as keeps young girl diff
fident and preserves bashfulness in
boy like the bloom on plum. "He is
greenp' you say of such and such one.
So is April! Who would not prefer such
greenness to the whitening blight of
hay and a midsummer drought? Never
condemn young person because there
is enough sap left in his soul to tlutter
green leaf late in the season. | love to
see that modesty which makes youth
deferential to his elders. It's horribly
out of date, l know, but love bashful-
ness and modest, unassuming ways are
mighty sweet to see. ee.-Amber in Chi

INCREASING LENGTH OF LIFE.
Modern Heroines at Least Are Longer
Lived Than Jane Austen's Were.


Lived Than Jane Austen's Were.
Is the human race becoming longer
lived despite the fret and fever of mod
ern civilization? 1t is an interesting
question, and it may very probably be
answered some day by science i'll the
affirmative. The longevity of profess
sional men is now generally considered
to be greater than that of farmers or
mechanics. In other words, intellec-
tual activity, although in many respects
more exhausting than physical, has in
the main salutary effect upon the hu
man frame. 1t may be tho nerves rather
than the muscles upon which We main
ly depend, after all. 1t is common
place of observation that the big hearty
men are constantly dropping ont of the
world, while those uf far more fragile
organizations apparently live on to u
ripe old age.
AS to the increasing longevity of the
race generally, there is no little Incl
dental testimony on this head to be
gathered from various sources. Some of
the early heroes and heroincs of ro-
nance are old before they reach what
we should call middle life. And at the
beginning of our own century Jane
Austen, whose testimony is always unim-
peachable, speaks of the healthy and
contented woman of 40 as having good
prospect of 90 years of life yet. Twenty
years! What woman of today thinks of
herself as falling into decrepitudo at GO?
Elsewhere In Miss Austens pages we
run across people who arc old with the
passage of half a century of life. But
now we have Gladstones at so and over
and think nothing of it.-Providence

A golden promise lit the sky,

And scanned the sky and briefly said:

Nay, nay" said he.

A starry mist rained down the sky,
And the eve was new and tender.

SHOT BY LIFE-SAVERS
One Boat Thief Killed and An
other One Wounded.

CAPE CHARLES, Va, Oct. r.
Benjamin Hudson was shot and in
stantly killed and his brother William
was seriously injured near Cobb's Is
land Life Station yesterday afternoon.
Both men are from Camden, \. j.,
where they stole catboat several days
ago, and were avoiding arrest. The
owner OF the stolen boat notified all
the stations along the coast TO look out
for his boat and capture her, giving a
description of the same. which was
good size cat-boat, about 20 feet keel
and covered deck.
Late yesterday afternoon a boat an.
swering the description of the one
stolen was discovered by the Cobb's
Island lite-saving crew. and several
men put out in small boat to capture
her. When in hearing distance Of The
fleeing men they ordered them To turn
to and surrender the boat, and their
reply was four consecutive gunshots,
which was promptly answered by the
Cobb's Island party.
After several exchanges, the Hud-
son brothers, finding they were about
to be captured, left the large boat,
after setting her on fire, aud attempted
TO escape 10 the marsh in small
bateau.
They tried to keep back their pur-
suers by continuing To fire, when a
bullet from the station party passed
through the body of Benjamin and
killed him instantly and entered the
left side of his brother William he.
