there are many poor persons. sick and
afflicted. who do not go to tho hos

prescrlbes and makes recommendations

are not carried out because of mex

knows. She will not humor a patient

She knows about diet and sanitation,
and has considerable medical expert

The managers OF the Babies Hos

these facts, and have arranged for a
visiting nurse to respond to calls of the
poor under proper conditions. Her
visits will be brief, but she may accom-

H9 Corn-beef Hash a la Hanna
From the Chicago Record-Herald
Persons who have quietly developed
a fondness for corn-beef hash and are
ashamed to expose their weakness for
it in public places, need have no diff
ndence OF this kind i'm the future.
The mixture composed of chopped
corned bovine and potatoes has taken
its place alongside of soft-shell crabs
and lobster a In Newburg. One can
now order cornbeef hash with all the
of an epicure who is order
ing shrimp salad. or braised sweet
breads. The lOwly corn-beef hash OF
commerce has touched the palate Of
craftsmanship. No longer will the
lover of this plebian compound sneak
away TO some obscure restaurant and
devour his favored dish.
Senator Mark Hanna has come out
for the Panama route He has also
come out for corn-beef hash. This
party Warwick has lifted the lowly
deicacy from the table OF the hoi-
pOlloi and given it a place OF honor on
the tables OF statesmen. The President
OF the nation has feasted upon it in the
home of a United States senator and
pronounced it bully" He might have
chosen a happier adjective.

One Rule OF SUCCESS

From the New York World.
"1he opportunities in New York for
"a presentable man VINO is really COM
petent to do some one thing thorough
ly we'll are very large indeed"
This sentence is from the report of
the Committee on Employment for Stu
dents in Columbia University. In
tended primarily TO apply to self-sup-
porting students, il contains in a nut
shell a prime rule of success in the
business in a big city.
IL is an age of specialization. Men
really competent to do some one thing
thoroughly well" are in demand in
every line of business. In most voca-
tions There are many ftly described as
fairly good" These are the men
who, when their hair gets gray, COM
plain that they are put aside for young
men.
The young man who would succeed
in these days of sharp competition
must choose some special line of work
and then make up his mind that he
will be better in his chosen line than
any one else.
To be able to do one thing better
than anyone else is a surer path TO per-
manent success than to be able to do
half dozen timing passably well.

Boy Beat the Italian

AS the Wayfarer was strolling along
Fourth street on July A, he witnessed
an amusing incident that happened to
an Italian who was selling toy ball
looms. He was trying to drive a bar
gain with n woman on a street car.
Her little boy was clamoring for one of
the balloons, which the man had given
him to hold. While the mother was
expostulated with her boy and the
Italian was trying to make the sale,
the car started. The child held on to
the balloon. and the Italian made a
desperate effort to recover it. It was
no use. for the little fellow kept the

A RENIARKABLE LAM

The appointment Of registrars, and
the exacuon Of a fee from each Of
them has brought the law under which
they are appointed into discussion,
Whether the charge for a commission
is legal. il is certain that the trainers
of the act never contemplated the pay
ment of any fee. This act does not men
tion either commissions or fees. but in
one section intimates that registrars
are duly qualified after they are mott
fed by the Governor Then. too, It
has been discovered that the appontee
has no option but to serve. He cannot
decline the office. and yet must pay a
fee for serving II has been said that
he is regarded al one selected 10 per-
form a necessary service, and like a
juror, he must do it, even at
a personal sacrifice That may
be true. but we do not charge
jurors for commissions, and we cannot
charge a man for appointment to an Of
fee which he accepts against his will
'1eie law penalties n man 500 for re-
fusal to serve, and it penalties him to
the extent OF s. if he does serve, and
demands Il IN advance.
A correspondent of one Of the news
papers tolls = story of men being ap-
pointed as registrars who wish to be
candidates for office. and he asserts
that under the law they must serve.
Well. here we strike another ambi-
guilty. The law says that a person be-
coming q candidate for office after be-
ing appointed as registrar and before
his work begins may resign. Il may be
asked what constitutes a candidate. Is
a mans word sufficient? II so. any
man who doesn't want to serve can
avoid a penalty for refusal. by simply
saying he is candidate. If IL requires
a nomination to make him candidate.
this is an absurdity, as legal primaries
cannot be held tin after mis- work as
registrar is completed.
But nothing is said about a person
who is a candidate at the time the ap-
pointments Of registrars are made. II
this provision does not apply 10 such
persons. then a governor might ap-
point as registrars all the dangerous
candidates of the opposition party and
get Them out Of the way. But II it is
applicable only to those who become
candidates after they become qualified
as registrars, and before their duties
begin, then it might keep any man
from announcing his candidacy till
these officers are appointed. The Gov
ernor is quoted as being certain ot
the provisions Of This act: we think g
horse and wagon could be driver
through them.
AS it has been construed, a governor
might make havoc in the ranks of tn,
enemy. For instance; if Governo
HUM should take it into his head n,
could appoint as registrars l.. Irvinl
Handy, George Sparks, and any othe
candidate for Office he might wish L
get out of the way. OF course. we d
not expect it Of certain governors, bu
there have been those who would HAY
reioiced at the opportunity. Some fin
day this act will so to the courts, an
then there will be revelations.

CHARACTER, NOT BRI1LIANCY


President Roosevelt has way of
saying things tersely and that are
worthy OF being remembered The
wisest sayings are often the homeliest.
In his Pittsburg speech he declared
that the nation needs character more
than brilliancy." Il is not a newly
discovered truth, but is an old idea
condensed and put in emphatic form.
Napoleon expressed il in another way
when he said that what France need
ed was mothers. lie meant high
minded women had more TO do with
the character of their sons than all
other influences. It is the element that
has made nations. and given them
whatever supremacy they have known.
This truth might be elaborated in
definitely; it is character that tells in
religious life. in social or business af-
airs. 1t has long been understood that
In all our dealings with men absolute
faith ia an essential element. over
ninety per cent. Of all business is done
on credit, which means not only faith
in the financial standing OF men,
but faith in their determination to
make all obligations good. There are
merchants who conduct business for a
lifetime who could not suddenly meet
IL obligations, but the public has con-
hdence in their thrift. enterprise and
integrity.
The same is true with States and mu-
nicipalities. The bonds Of nations and
cities are in every market, and the
low rate OF interest shows absolute
.aith in their redemption; and yet there
are not the ordinary remedies that may
be applied as against individuals.
There have been instances of States
and municipalities repudiating their
obligations, but this has proved dlsas-
trous, bringing the people into con-
tempt Many will recall that at the
close OF our civil war; when our ma
ltional debt was appalling in it's mag
nitude, there were suggestions that we
repudiate It. But the Republican party
said We will pay it dollar for dollar, aud
/. value for value JAS a consequence we
