MaXimS of Success.

''Of the many maXims of given to young
men, remarked the club he laid aside the news

fellows who starting out into the wide world to make
their mark. The proverbs and maXms of certain rich
families who have met with so much success are:

g. Policy is the best honesty.
T. 1t is easier for the camel to pass through a

ONE KENTUCKY GIRL.

Up in Louisville, KY, not long since two young
men fought seventeen rounds with bare knuckles to
gain the heart and hand of Miss Julia Ring.
The young men were friends. Both were sultors
of Miss Ring. Neither would give her up for the
other So they decided to tight for the girl. Both
lost out.
The young woman spurned them, both victor
and vanquished, and declared she would horsewhip
the first one who stepped his foot in her yard.
"Will | marry the man who won the fght?"
che replied to the reporter. II will not What
right had those two blackguards to fight over me
and bring me all this unpleasantness? I'll give
these rascas solid lashing with horsewhip If
they come to see me-"
Good for the girl.
During the stone age men fought one another
like ANIMALS for the possession of female. The
biggest got the best things. Muscle was king. But
physical proves is no longer the true measure of
manhood.
Miss Ring rightly asks why suitors should
bring a lady's name into an affair of fstcuffs
And she rightly reasons that one sutton who sue
cessfuy pummels another does not prove thereby
his superiority husband.
The hint of horsewhipping, 1t must be con-
fessed is rather strenuous and somewhat akin to
the scrap itself. But
It's in Kentucky-the home of feuds and fights
and duels and horsewhipping. In the fervor of her
indignation the lady doubtless follows the custom
of the country. Anyway, she has set good pre-
cedent.
The foolish young fellows may now proceed TO
bind up each others wounds. Certain 1t is that
Miss Ring will pour no Balm Of Gilead upon them,

HE STOLE FOR WIFE AND BABY.

1t is from out the crowded cities that you get
hold of stories that reflect the real miseres of life
Recently the papers told of Frank Hall of Chicago.
Hall could not stand by and see his wife and baby
starve Thereupon he turned amateur burglar.
Mrs Hall is slip of girl who says she is IS,
but looks younger. The babe is a mere mite. The
husband himself, is scrawny runt of fellow.
Hall got out of job. He walked the streets
day after day to find work He was willing to do
anything Finally he told his wife he was going to
steal some stuff from a flat to buy food.
The police discovered the theft and tried to find
Hall. For three days they put the slip of a woman
in the sweatbox to make her tell her husbands
whereabouts. She would not tell.
Frank isn't burglar, said the child wife.
''He only did this to buy something to eat. could
get along somehow, but | had to eat to keep the
baby alive Frank came home night after night.
Get any work. | used to ask. No, nothing
''Then he would turn away aad hide his face.
knew he was crying. One night he said he would
steal something l begged him not to. The next
day we had something to eat. hope they will not
find Frank"
Poor boy husband! It's plain you ought not to
have married. Then there would have been no baby.
You should have begged. But, poor fellow, that's a
mooted question and you were no logician
classifying theftp' says the prosperous citizen.
Not at all. The boy did wrong of course But,
my dear sir as you sit in your easy chair and read
this you cannot put yourself IN Frank Halls place,
Your wife and baby are not starving. Do not say
what you would do. You do not know.
And the police. They make no difference be-
tween the thief who steals all the time and the man
who is driven to theft by despair. God Almighty
does.
Then let us echo the wish of the wife. Let us
hope the police will not find Frank. If it be
treason so to WISH let it go at that.

Euclid. who is sometimes called the
father of mathematics. taught this
subject in the famous school at Alex
andria. Being asked one day by the
king of Egypt Ptolemy Soter) whether
he could not teach him the science in
a shorter way, Euclid answered in
words that have been memorable ever
since. sire, there is no royal road to
