The terrible disaster that devas-
tated Topeka, Kansas, last week
brings to light fact that has been
demonstrated q thousand times be-
fore: There are heroes everywhere.
The brave work OF rescue, The self
forgetfulness manifested by those en-
gagged in it, the fearful personal risk
that many took in trying TO save the
helpless and the aged reveal 10 the
world the fact that heroes abound.
There is another striking thing
bought to light by the horrors of the
floods and fires. In tho full! account
of the disasters there was mention
made Of but one looter. Usually
there are many Of these gGouls fol-
lowing in the wake of these fearful
calamities. They pilleage houses,
rob dead bodies, and commit many
shameful abuses. 1t is refreshing to
read that in all the upheaval engen-
dered by the Topeka flood in which
two hundred lives are l)st and mil
lions Of dollars worth Of property de-
stroyed, there was seen but one brute
who thought of his personal Zurich
ment and was willing to help it on by
robbing the dead, while hundreds
were throwing themselves herocally
into the work Of rescue.

ear with music never ceasing, but it
was not the lulling music that invites

worshiped his mother, but in several
instances that morning he caught him

was compelled to repeat questions. his
mind being so far away that he heard
nothing save words that another wom-

before His eyes were red. and there
was a heavy droop to the lids. His

strangely without warmth. His face
was white and tired.

! True to his intention. he went to the
Office early, virtuously inclined to work.
His uncle s. eeted him warmly and a

followed. To Lorry's annoyance and

were pending, and in day or two they

"Goodbyr' he cried, swinging up on
the narrow step beside her. Again he
clasped her hand as she drew back in
surprise. You are going out of my

She hesitated an instant, her eyes
wavering beneath his. The train was
moving slowly now.

softly at last-so softly that he barely

was terror in her eyes that pleased
him.
"Goodby, Them he said.

quickly.
AS he swung out ready to drop to the
ground she said her eyes sparkling

A startled expression flashed across
her face, and her lips parted as if in
protestation. AS she leaned forward

was no smile on her cOuntenance.
A white hand futtered before his
eyes and she was gone. He stood, ha

The uncle shook hands warmly with
the young man and passed up the
steps. She was following when Lorry

"Will you not allow me"

the steps and stretched forth her hand.

When Dinner Is Over.

AS a rule an hour to an hour and q
half is spent In conversation after Il
dinner when neither host nor guests
have any other engagement for the
evening. When lady and gentleman
are dining together the lady makes the
first motion at departure, the gentle
man promptly following her lead. No
matter how numerous the company, no
guest should depart without bidding
adieu to the hostess with thanks for
her hospitality. These need be neither
stiff nor ELUSIVE, just some little words
Of appreciation Of the pleasure you
have enjoyed in her home. Goodbys
may be said to other friends present
before you bid adieu 10 the hostess or
to any standing near the door as you
pass out. but do not stop for any
lengthy conversation after having said
coed night to your entertainers.

A Magnetic Personality.

A magnetic personality, which at
tracts the common run Of mortalS as
moths are attracted to a candle, is
much coveted in these days and is Ger.
tainly a valuable possession, but it will
perhaps be some consolation to the wo-
man who cannot attract the attention
of everybody in room the moment
she enters it that many great men and
women had no personality" worth
mentioning. There is story of Fanny
BurRoy sitting unobseryed in corner
and having to be dragged into prOmi-
hence at Il rout. Browning was disap-
pointed when he met George Eliot,
though they afterward became friends.
Charlotte Bronte was always at dis
advantage in society, and many other
similar cases might be mentioned.
Great minds are often without this
charm of manner. while persons Of
quite ordinary talents may have the
faculty of mesmerizing not only those
with whom they come into immediate
contact, but all their contemporaries,
thus acquiring fame out Of all pro-
portion to their merits.
