BEWARE THE STENOGRAPHER
To Dictate . Libel to the TyDswf1te!
IL to "Publish" II. Says This
Account.

A decision as to what constitutes q
libelous publication" in contempla-
tion of law has recently been handed
down by the Maryland court Of ap-
peals. which should lead persons en-
ploying private amanuenses and ste
nographers to use great care as to the
subject matter Of dictated letter.
According to this decision, says the
Baltimore American, the first judicial
deliverance of state court of last re-
sort. deciding the precise point, the
publication of letter dictated and
typewriter containing libelous mat
ter, is legally complete, although its
contents have not been made known to
any person other than the stenog-
rapher. The court ruled:
"Neither the prevalence of any busi-
ness customs or methods, nor the pres
sure of business which compels resort
to stenographic assistance, can make
that legal which is Illegal, nor make
that innocent which would otherwise
be actionable. Nor can the fact that
the stenographer is under contractual
or moral obligation to regard all his
employers communications as con-
fdential after the reason OF the mat
ter"
Under the ruling, publicity within
the meaning and intent OF the libel
law OF Maryland is sufficiently accom-
pIished when the Objectionable matter
is dictated to the stenographer. The
libel is published" under such circum-
stances as fully for legal purposes as
though it were printed in a newspaper
and published broadcast. No case pre-
senting the same facts appears to have
been before the courts Of any other
state for adjudication. In view Of the
universal use of stenographers as con-
fdential secretaries, it is important
that the decision should be widely pub
lished. =

TRIO OF IMPOSTORS.
How They Robbed and Fooled a
COnfding Doctor.
4 Rather Amusing Case in which
HypnOtism and hIeptOmania Play
Important Parts-The Plot
Revealed.

The Paris correspondent of Lon
don paper describes as anything but
enviable the feelings of a worthy doc
tor settled in a very fashionable dis
trict of that city who, after attempt
ing the cure of a young woman pro-
fessedly afflicted with kleptomania,
has himself fallen a victim to a clever
but utterly unserupulous trick. About
week ago he was sitting in his con-
sulting room when the bell rang, and
presently a man of gentlemanly ap-
pearance and a lady of mature age,
accompanied by a pretty and fasein-
ating girl, were ushered in. The male
visitor introduced himself as a mar
quis dwelling at a certain number in
a well-knOwn avenue, and said that
the elderly woman was his wife and
the beautiful damsel their daughter.
A few polite remarks on general
topics were exchanged, and then the
processing marquis drew the physi-
elan into a corner, and in low and dis
Greet accents unfolded to him the fol-
lowing tale: His daughter, he ex-
planned. was a charming girl. She
was lovely, as he could Judge for him
self, accomplished, amiable and when
married she would have q very re-
spectacle dowry, as her parents were
well endowed with this worlds goods.
Unfortunately there was a dark side
to this otherwise bright picture. Al
though lavishly provided with pocket
money and supplied with everything
that she could possibly desire, the
young woman was a confirmed klep-
tomaniac. She could not enter a shop
without endeavoring TO purloin some
article, and even her friends spoons
and forks were not secure from her
too enterprising fingers.
Then, coming to the point, the So
called marquis asked the doctor
whether he would be willing to un-
dertake the cure of this very dis
tressing case. He would not be
daunted by any expense, and in proof
of this assertion he pulled out a

Of Is years the author lost no less

1he strongest man, however, is the
man who can wait, and Herbert Spen-
ser waited. The scientific method of
studying human life began to find
willing pupils, not only among scien-
lists, but also among young students

workingmen, who gave up their even
ings to the study of technical or So
cial sciences. Few books of philos-
ophy have enjoyed so wide a popu-

Spencer's life, says the Detroit Free
Press, has been in some measure a
contradiction of the theory of hered-
fly. Born and bred in an atmosphere
of Methodism and democratic poll
ties, he has been the arch-apOstle of
indiyidualism, and is going down TO
the grave an agnostic. But the spirit
of the pure home life of his early
days has remained with him. His
sense of justice, his love of truth,
are as keen as his desire to know.
His great life work, a System of
Synthetic Philosophy" is perhaps the
greatest scientific literary undertak-
ing ever accomplished by a single
man. It's ten volumes have occupied

years.

faction in the consciousness that

the family had left the supper table
the impatient animal sprang upon the

morsel upset the kerosene lamp.

and the neighbors resulted in saving
part of the household goods. The
building was burned to the ground
with loss of $1,000. The black mis-

in the slave trade, and was cruising
about the West Indies as a pirate.
With a fair wind the Yigilant makes
the 4O-mile trip in little more than
three hours, and it can stand any sort

PC. Pentheny, of ST. Croix, owns the

He is proud Of the fact thatnO SchoOn-

from his father, who, in turn, bought
it from an old native, whose father had

The slaves were carried in the hold
where the mail is thrown now. The
vessel is $50 years old. and has had its
back broken twice. This ceremony oc-

of the Vigilant was passed in 1928. The

bundle of bank notes and laid them
on the table. The physician, consid-
erably impressed by all this candor
and by this practical method of trans
acting business, readily consented to
take the young woman for a course
of treatment into his own house, and
the next day saw her installed there
with a maid provided by her family
in special attendance on her. The
girl was to be cured of her thievish
prOpensities through the medium of
hypnOtism, a Will stronger than her
own compelling her to return TO hon
est ways. All went well for four or
five days, much to the satisfaction of
the good doctor, who had not missed
a single article of his property, and
who firmly believed that his course of
treatment had been crowned with re-
markable success. When, however,
he returned from his round of visits
the other evening he found, to his
infinite bewilderment, that the birds
had flown. AS it had been expressly
agreed that his fair patient should
remain indoors for awhile, so as to
be spared the temptation afforded
by the spectacle of attractive shop
windows, he was greatly annoyed.
But this was nothing in comparison
with his state of mind when an in
spectiOn of his premises revealed the
painful fact that bank notes TO thr
amount of nearly $1,000 had also
disappeared, and with them jewelry
and divers objects dart worth quite
c 400. He consoled himself with the
reflection that he would in all prob
ability recover his property at the
residence of the young lady'S noble
father, and thither he proceeded in
haste, TO find, TO his anguish, that the
family in question, which he now be-
held for the first time in the flesh,
had been personated by a trio of au-
dacious impOstOrs. Then the poor
doctor took his weary way 70 the Of
fee of the police commissary, with

Herbert Spencer, whose name wiz

Of one of the nineteenth century's
greatest thinkers, has recently passed
his eighty-frst birthday. After life
time of self-sacrifice and privations,
the great philosopher finds himself
1t the threshold of the grave almost
As poor in worldly possessions as
when he started the career that has
brought him so much fame, but so
little pecuniary recognition. There IS
something almost pathetic in the life
work of a man like Herbert Spencer.
The son of a schoolmaster, Mr.. Spen-
Ger was educated very largely at
home by his father, though he also
went TO a school at Bath, England,
the headmaster Of which was his
hnele. From 1897 to 1916 he piled the
profession OF a civil engineer, and for
Eve years later acted as subeditor of
the London Economist before he

name will always be identified.
