NOT TOO OLD TO BE eIpov.
A Smoother Out Of Wrinkles That EN-
livened the Train.


The mans mustache was streaked with
cray, and there were few indications
about the corners of the eyes which told Of
years. Still he was hale and hearty and
looked good for many a winter still. The
woman also bore evidences of having seen
a goodly portion of her youth get away
from her. She, like her companion, how
ever, was by no means on the wane. They
went to the Grand Central railway station
and took train. They were either soon
to be married or were plighted, and they
were very fond of each other, II surface in
dications could be relied upon.
When they entered the crowded car, the
man was very solicitous for her comfort.
He found her nice, comfortable seat and
saw that her wraps were cared for. Then he
took his seat beside her. In order that she
might not lack sufficient support in emer-
gencies, he passed his good right arm along
the top of the seat back. Then he gazed
fondly at his ladylove, for such she was
or all signs fail, and waited for her to open
the discussion. He murmured something
in low tone. She promptly replied:
"Don't you know I'm getting oldY"
She looked as If she did not believe it
and expected him to deny the impeach-
ment of her waning charms. The other
passengers who heard the remark were
willing to acquiesce, but not he. He knew
better, and he said SO.
sob, no, you are not, " he answered re-
assuringly. "You are not getting nearly
as old as i am"
This sentiment was received with con-
siderable approval by the outsiders, but
the interested persons failed to observe the
fact Then, after one OF those pauses
which are SO eloquent at times, she once
more broke the silence.
"Oh, 1 know all about that" she said.
"You are just two years older than am.
That's nothing"
Then there was another silence while the
train ratified off couple of miles more.
Papers were laid aside, for the voices un-
consciously rose with the occasion and
were not intended to hear what was said.
Then once more the man:
81 think it's great deal"
"But have SO many wrinkles, dear"
she said as she leaned confldingly toward
him and looked into his eyes with trusting
love.
"Never mind that" was the gallant re-
ply. "I'll smooth them all out for YOU"
"Yah, YAH" gasped the fat man across
the aisle. Then he gulped nightly and
suddenly became absorbed in his paper as
the couple turned confusedly in his direc-
ton.
The train slowed up, stopped at the En-
glewood station, and the couple disappeared
from the train followed by the shrieks Of
the delighted passengers. Chicago Chron-

ON TRIAL FOR LYNCHING.
Hearing of Men Charged with Burning
Seminole Indians.


Shawnee, o. T., Feb. 1.-THE prelim-
mary hearing of p. Smith, W. II. Day IL
and Ed Nix, charged with conspiracy to
burn the Seminole Indians, McGe,sy
and Sampson, has been begun before
Commissioner Galbraith. Nix Is a
nephew of ex-United States Marshal
Nix, and Davis is the editor of the
Earlboro Plain People. Among the
eleven culprits who had previously been
held for trial were two preachers. one
a Methodist and the other a Baptist
The defendants refused to waive exam
ination, denying any completely in the
conspiracy, and demanded an immedi-
ate hearing.
Harry Brown, witness for the govern
ment, testified that two nights before
the burning. he, in company with four
Seminole Indians, went to Lizards
house, where the young Indians were
held, and demanded their surrender to
the proper authorities. They were un-
der guard of about fifty armed men,
among whom he recognized the de-
PENDANTS. Fires had been built around
the house and a patrol established. A
mob denied Browns request and or
dered him off the premises.
j. M. Glover. a farmer living near
Earlboro. identified Smith as having
said to him at Earlboro on the even
ing of the burning that some Indians
were going to burn that night at Maud
and he was going down. Deputy Sis
sion reports that about twenty of the
culprits who have been in hiding came
into Tecumseh and gave themselves up.

The Better Way.

There are some men who believe that
honesty in everyday business matters isin-
compatible with success. They think
that in order to get along they must prac-
tice certain degree of trickery and decep-
ton. They argue that the up and down
honest man who will not swerve from the
path Of rectitude is sure to fail in what
ever he undertakes, and hence they justify
themselves in practicing petty as well as
wholesale fraud and in taking advantage
of the'verdancy Of customers under the
plea that custom and necessity compel
them to adopt this course. The man who
possesses the requisite business qualifica-
tions can succeed better by pursuing an
honest, straightforward course than If he
were to deaden his conscience and disre-
gard all moral obligations. We frequently
hear the expression made in reference to
some good natured, inactive man, "Oh,
he's too honest to get alongV Now, this
is false inference, for in nine cases out Of
ten the honest man s failure does not arise
from the practice of an upright course,
but from his unfitness for the business in
which he is engaged.
We do not by any means intend to con-
vey the impression that honesty will cause
a man who is not qualified for the bust
ness in which he engages to succeed. What
we mean to assert and the impression that
we would leave on the minds of the read
ers of The Ledger is that man who is
adapted to certain pursuit will and must
necessarily succeed better 10y dealing hon
estly and uprightly than by cheating and
defrauding.
But In addition to the matter of success,
how cheerful and pleasant is the condition
of the man who knows and feels that he is
doing an honest business-a business
which his conscience approves!-New York

DANGEROUS DISEASES.
The Difference Between Ailments Tha.
Are Contagious and Infectious.

The terms contagious and infectious arc
not synonymous A disease Is contagious
when it is transmitted from the sick to
the well by personal communication or
contact, more or less intimate, and all
contagious diseases are Infectious. e.,
they are due to the introduction into the
body of susceptible individual of living
germ. But all infectious diseases are not
contagious. Thus smallpox, scarlet fever,
measles, diphtheria, influenza, etc, are in
fictitious diseases which are contagious,
while malarial fevers, typhoid fever, yell
low fever, cholera, pneumonia, peritonitis,
etc., are infectious diseases which are not
contagious--at least they are only conta-
gious under very exceptional circum-
stances, and those in close communication
with the sick as nurses, ETC., do not con-
tract these diseases as a result of such
close association or contact
The generalization that all infectious
diseases are due to the introduction into
the bodies of susceptible individuals of liv-
ing germs capable of reproduction Is based
upon exact knowledge, gained chiefly dur
ing the past 20 years, as regards the speci-
fic infectious agents or germs of consid-
cradle number of the diseases of this class.
In some infectious diseases, however, no
such positive demonstration has yet been
made.
The Investigations which have been made
justify the statement that each infectious
disease is due to specific. O., distinct
micro organism. There are, however,
certain infectious diseases which physi-
clans formerly supposed to be distinct, and
to which specific names are given which
are now known to be due to one and the
same infectious agent or germ. Thus puer-
peral fever and erysipelas are now recog-
nizcd as being caused by the same germ,
the germ which is the usual cause of pneu-
monia is also the cause of considerable
proportion of the cases of cerebro spinal
meningitis, etc.-Surgeon General George
Nj. Sternbcrg in Appletons' Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
