cording to the usual version of the STORY,

Constantine the Great, and accompanied
it in the campaign against the Sarma-

against the empirical practices which
were then in vogue, and insisted on more
rational methods of treatment, both In dis
eases and in accidents, such as the em-
ployment OF splnts for fractures and SUI
lures for wounds; but we are not aware
that either he or his successors for a long
time afterward made any attempts at sup
plying artificial limbs. In many cases the
dog can solve the difficulty of the loss OF
a leg by running on three; and probably,
unless 1t were a ladies' pet of lethargic

mo" replied the cashier true to the
lifelong accuracy, "the amount Is $1,000 %
And so 1t was. Friends more familiar
with the ways of the world realized how
a good name had been lost, how a life had
been wrecked, when they heard the be-
ginning of the deficit. Their vigorous
comments awakened the cashier to the
knowledge of the trap into which he had
fallen. A trial is coming. Shrewd law
yers will endeavor to trace the written
combination. They will show, If possible,
in whose possession 1t was when the two
losses led the cashier into a false position.
Written demands have been made upon
those who are supposed to know for state
ments in detail about the combination.
They have been asked to tell what was
done with the combination when 1t passed
into their possession at the beginning Of
the present postmaster's term, whether
others have had access to the information
and where the written memorandum Is
now.
officials of the postoffice department
have bestowed much consideration upon
this case. To them il has more than local
interest. A double reason has prompted
them In the first place the manner fin
which the deficit was concealed on the
books for a period of months has shown
the department something new in mall
feasance In addition to this, there is
ed as the model. This sympathy has
stimulated a strong desire that the COM
plete story Of the downfall shall be told
and that the chief guilt shall be placed
where IL belongs. The trial is looked for
ward to as one of the most important in
the exposure and punishment of postoffice
crime in many years. Postofhce officials
will furnish some of the sensational testi-
mony. There is a belief at the depart
ment that the cashier did not realize any
pecuniary benefit; in other words, that he
did not make direct use Of the money
which disappeared.
In the banking business there is a the
orv that long and continued handling Of
large amounts of cash begets in some
minds a gradual weakening of the law OF
thine and mine. Bank officers go along
for years without the error Of penny in
their cash accounts They come to be
looked upon as beyond the pale Of temp
tation to appropriate from what Is passing
through their hands. Then, after having
esta blished such regulations, they some
times fail. They take the money for
speculation, expecting to replace it, be-
come involved, and plunge deeper ana
deeper until exposure follows There have
been enough instances of this kind to es-
tablish the theory as principle applica-
bic not to all but to some. When the fact
Of this postoffice defalcatbon became pub
lie property those who had felt unlimited
confidence in the cashier adopted this the
ory as the explanation of what seemed
otherwise an unaccountable lapse. Later
came the knowledge communicated 10

complications began, And now the feel

New York, Dec. 4.-She was essentially
a club woman. Consequently she had no
opinion of me when she heard that didn t
belong to any clubs and so couldn't wear
any badges. In feminine club the wo-
man who wears the greatest number of

thrown the offensive blackbal at her when

man is satisfied to belong to one or
two clubs. If he happens to be attached
TO more, it is from force of circumstances,
for he seldom uses more than one club, and
in that he feels perfectly at home. The
feminine club is not domestic It's object
seems to be to talk and to display new
gowns, and whenever there is a meeting of
the clans that club which produces the
best gowns is invariably referred to as the
most progressive. And yet nine times out
of ten it is the badly gowned woman who
makes a good speech From this I have
drawn the conclusion that the feminine
mind cannot compass gown designing and

two or three women meet together over a

Every blessed one of you has fash
ion of taking it for granted that what
man says to you isn't true. Now, nine
times out of ten it is. So the tenth time
give him the benefit of the doubt and
when he finds you do believe him he will
take fancy to living up to his reputation
and will tell the truth so that he may not
go back on you.
"A man is like a prophet-he wants to
be believed in his own cGuntly-and when
the women of his household don't show
him that they have faith in him he is
pretty apt to give them cause for their
unbelief. Just take one of your babies,
and when it comes and tells you that it
loves you suppose you are brute enough
to push it away because you are too
busy to listen to it Gas if woman ought
ever to be too busy to refuse to hear
what her own child says) Well, the next
time that small boy feels the same in
clinauon he will work it out in his baby
mind that you didn't believe him before
that you won't now, and pretty soon he
will stop giving expression to bis love-
and in a little while the love itself will
disappear.
