must be assumed that everybody knows

standpoints. Indeed most any stand

denies that diseases are transmitted by

Man Who Dared Not Smile.

A naturalized citizen of the United
States, ID. Asadourian, an Armenian,
who is in business in Cleveland, was
locked up in COnstantinople, Turkey,
charged with conspiracy. Through the
offices of some Turkish business men
he was released under $1,000 bonds, eff,
fective during his stay of fifty days. He
has just returned to his home, Concern

that in America rhe people have an ad.
vanced knowledge Of high explosives,
which might be used to blow up the
Sultan. They suspected me of being in
sympathy with the Armenlans. After
putting me in prison they had some men

lcctors are barred. He's dead and
almost forgotten Even his estate is
a closed affair. Then Il developed that
the debt was contracted thirty years
ago. There was no record Of It on the
books, and, anyway, it was outlawcd.
The stranger intlmatcd that there is
no statute Of limitation connected with
conscience, and insisted on paying the
principal, $3.50, and S2721O interest.
Then he departed. Common honesty Is
a common thing. The world Is full Of
men whose word is as good as their
bond. But the Boston case Is more
than common honesty. 1t shows that
some men keep their accounts and
their conscicnccs side by side and are
honest, not because Of the world or
the law, but because of themselves. If

General orders by General Chaffee
call attention to the heroism of Miss
Alice Kemmer, Of the Army nurse
corps in the Philippines. While on
leave Of absence Miss Kimmer learned
that a nurse was needed to care for
two smallpox patients in Manila. Al
though she had never had the dis
ease, she gave up her leave and vol
unteered for the dangerous and loath-
some duty. For two whole months, in
the hottest weather, she was shut up
alone with her patients, doing both day
and night duty, and never having
more than two hours sleep at time.
Both patients were nursed back to
health. If soldiers receive medals for
heroic deeds performed on the battle,
field, this nurse surely deserves as
much for her conduct in the presence
of an enemy more dreadful than any
Filipino.

James Douglas in recent number Of
the Boolnan dcplores the decay which
he says Is ovcrtaking the Victorian
novel and tries to explain it. He sees no
successful man or woman fit to hold a
torch or candle to Richardson, Sterne,
Sir Walter Scott, Jane Austen, Dickens,
Meredith and Hardy. He had hoped
Mrs. Cralgie would prove the light Of
the new day. Disappointed in her, he
sees no promise of further literary
glory. "The drama and the great sort
of poetry are dead. The novel is in n
state of decay" Mr.. Douglas need not
take the matter so seriously. Great men
lived after Agamcnnon, and there will
still be great poets, dramatists and nov
elists. When Byron died it seemed as
if the domain of poetry had come to an
end, but Tennyson, Browning and a
host of lesser, yet by no means un-
worthy, lights appeared on the horizon
When Clay and Webster died the politi-
cal world felt that the day Of glory had
departed, and that craftsmanship was
left only to politicians. But many other
stanCh statesmen appeared endowed
with practical activity ready to meet
the new emergencies. 1t Is never worth
while to lament the past as containing
all the abilities and possibilities. New
occasions bring new duties and bring
new men and women to the front. Mr..
Douglas knows nothing of the new stars
that may be just below the horizon, and
he should remember that it takes time
even for stars to attract the attention of
a distracted public.

A message to the girl who is con.
| templatiug "A wage earning career is
given by writer in 1.-THE Philadel.
pnia Ledger" VINO writes as follows
on the high value Of mental training
and mental standardization:
"The more girl knows the more
varied are her resources and oppOru-
mites. knowledge is power. Know
ledge IS capital where money is lack
ing. 1t can never be lost. A girl
who has bent toward art, music,
literature or any particular profession
and can afford the training, should
specialize. So should young woman
intending TO be typewriter. a book
keeper, a dressmaker. IL it is neces-
sary for a girl to make her own liv-
ing, she should not, under any cir
cumstances, refuse to give to any
kind of honest work the training of
thorough study and apprenticeship.
Their care no hard and fast rules
n success, but perseverance is the
pathway to it. If you have any
special bent follow it by all means;
follow it with all the eagerness that
is In your soul. If you are working,
your work is more or less yCHr life.
DO not give anyone the opportunity
to say that you are 'fTittering away
your life or your brains. Above all
things do not waste your time or
opportunities. A Stagnant brain is
almost worse than n brain at all,
just because it is sad spectacle OF
an active, all powerful, God given
thing that is being allowed by a
shiftlesS body to ge into disuse
through mere inari;iOr. No braiI
ever was worth anything unless 1T
was used. 1t usually follows that no
woman is worth anything who does
not use her brain. The pride OF a
brain we'll us d and hand well
trained is a possession worth work
ing for. Make the most Of your
glorious you'll.
While you have health and strength
do something. Do it with every bit
Of energy that is In you. and then
you can afford to laugh at those who
try to discourage your efforts. An
effort that is impelled by the best in
! a woman, an effort with brain be-
hind it, is almost always successful
effort. If you find it not you may
know the fault lies deeper than you
guessed, probably in the earliest
training Of the brain that you are
trying so hard to make successful
