he notified the United States govern
ment. with the pleasing results that
they were all run to earth, and he had
gained a reputation. This got him
plenty of work as detective and he
made New York his lone. Three
years ago he met viii ne Jennie

home OF a Manhattan ralway mag

Since then not a sign of him has

Lips

The old popular notion that thin
and delicately formed lips indicate
more spirituality and elevation OF
character than do thick, coarse lips is
controverted in the Paris Bulletin of
Anthropology by DR.. A. Bloch. who
says he has made a thorough study OF
the subject of lips from a scientific
standpoint The popular impression,
he AYERS, is based on Imagination. and
the differences in human lips depend
on race distinctions. as do the differ
ences in the size and shape of noses.

Good Idea.

In the larger cities reliable milliners
will go to private houses and trim hats
for a modest sum. Now that the rush
is over in the shops, there is an OPP
portunity for some enterprising young
woman in Detroit. Many women are
glad of extra hats, if they can get
them up cheap"

= Test of Character.

The greatest test of character is to
be found in what is common rather
than extraordinary. 1t is easier for
the soldier to lie faithful in the rush
of battle, when sustained by a catch
ing enthusiasm, than to maintain a
high tone of consistent principle under
she many trials of daily drill.-Dr.

laudation which Mr.. Hawthorne
or his equals would have utilized
to stiffen their backbone, so to
speak.
The whole thing merely proves
the fact that the man in broadcloth
and he in fustian are likely to be
made out of pretty much the same
clay.
Nor is Mike O'Donnel singu-
lar instance Of men who are sent
to prison for a crime of which they
are innocent. If careful and i'm
partial investigation of all the
cases in most prisons were under
taken, I am satisfied that a very
large per cent would be found
either innocent, or sent to prison
after an unfair trial.
Mr.. Hawthorne makes no COM
ment on that phase Of the case
quoted. but it is a subject well
worthy of consideration: Not SO
much on account of the men i'm
prisOned as on account OF those
who may have been instrumental
in sending them to prison. Be-
cause while the dishonest Judge or
prosecuting attorney may go with
his family to a house Of worship
in the interest of religion, and
pray for the blessings of God upon
himself and family, the unjustly
condemned prisoner may lie upon
his face in his narrow cell and call
down the curse of God Almighty
upon those who have worse than
murdered him-and God will hear
him. For God hears the signs Of
the bumb animal which is being
ill-used by it's master--and he will
hear also the curses of those con-
demned through prejudice or false
witness.

JULIAN HAWTHORNE has an article
in a recent number of the Saturday
Post on Mike O'Donnel, the con-
vict recently released from Sing
Sing, being pardoned after serving
ten years of a sentence OF thirty
for crime of which he was entire
ly innocent.
His release came about through
the death-bed confession OF his
brother. who was the actual GRIMM
al. And Mike O'Donnel knew all
the time that his brother was the
guilty man, but he sat down and
wept when he heard that his broth
er was dead and he himself a free
man. He wept because his broth
er was dead. and said that rather
than have his brother die he would
have spent twenty years more IN
prison.
Mr.. Hawthorne describes how
this man was convicted merely
because he had bad record-in
spite of well-established alibi.
And then Mr.. Hawthorne goes on to
compare the ordinary man of birth
and breeding with this prisoner.
very much to the detriment of the
former.
This is the end of the article: =
The assumption here is, that
you represent the most finished
product of our modern civilization,
and that Mike O'Donnel is an out
cast. Let us admit distinctly that
he is not saint. Yet he, without
being aware Of it, as it were, did
sublime thing, which you Or |
(let us cofess it to each other)
would be more apt than otherwise
to shirk doing, on one specious
plea or another. But, one of two
things: either Mike O'Donnel is a
better man than you or L, or he is
not. If he is not, then Christ is
wrong, and Christianity mistake.
If he is. then you and I are wrong,
and our civilization along with us.
It is one of the old dilemmas, one
of the old problems, and its age
has not in the least diminished its
awkwardness. If the outcasts
among us are liable to become
angels hereafter. and those of us
who are on the inside here are to
yield them the pas there, then the
sooner we realize it and conduct
ourselves accordingly, the better"
But why should it be assumed
that this man did not know that
he was doing a sublime thing? Is
that "a despairing effort to belittle
the act? If so, it is a mistake, for
if O'Donnel did not know that he
was doing an act of grand self
sacrifice, but was merely acting
from sense of brotherly love and
contempt for the "squealer,' then
of course he lacked the additional
incentive of self-pity: and self
