Selfshness.

Is respect for the rights Of others a
declining factor in American life: The
very question is disturbing, whether it
be applied to the nation, to the rsmif-
cations Of business operations, or to the
thought and the actions Of individuals.
The observing person who travels even
a little is struck by what appears to be
the %pervasive insistence of selfislness
as it seeks personal advantage and
comfort with too little chivalric regard
for others. Difference to age aid to
women is so little in evidence that we
may well wonder if the "gentlemn of
the old school" is long to survive. or
even now exists on the HIGHWAYS of
travel. Much is lost when the patience
and the beauty of courtesy fall away
Ito society as a whole, and to tie in
dividuals who compose it. "Caie for
number one" has to be exercised-each
must engineer for himself; but due
thought can be taken for the iidirid-
ual and the family without emitting
all regard for the equal rights that be-
long to others. Out of kindIpss is
born the gentleman or the geulewo-
man, and when kindness gets k,ocked
out by selfishness. moral grace 6parts
and the beauty Of idealism is lot, and
all the amelioration of life's had con-
ditions which it begins.-Sprngfeld

And Gen. Goblin Had No Use for Such
a Poker Player.

I'M EtdyCts
Gen. Goblin. the commander of the
Pennsylvania National Guard, showed
his contempt for poor poker playing
in a striking manner during the recent
coal strike, when he was at Wilkes
barre in charge of the states military
forces.
One night a poker game was on be-
tween several Philadelphia newspaper
men, n of whom was a young fellow
on whom they wished to play a joke.
Finally, in a spirit of fun, stacked"
hands were dealt, SO that three Of the
players, among whom was the young
fellow, got straight Pushes of equal
value. After the betting passed around
twice, the young fellow called" and
then, when he saw the cards, anxious
ly questioned as to which flush won
on color.
The next morning the young fellow
went to see the General for some
news, but the story of the poker game
had got there before him. When the
young fellows name was sent in he
heard Gen Goblin roar from inside:
Put the fool out! I never will
even receive a man who knows SO lit

UNHAPPY MACEDONIA.



Some Interesting Facts About the Turk.
Ridden Land.
No country is more in the public eye
and sympathy than Macedonia. In
interesting explanation of the trouble
there is made in the Worlds Work. by
Louise Parker Richards who, among
other things, writes: There are no
census reports in Turkey. and IL there
were they would not be reliable. A
mans Nationality" in Macedonia has
little to do with his birth or his pa
rents, but everything with his church.
If one says that he is a Bulgarian, but
that his brother is a Greek, he means
that they are of different nations-as
he regards it; and it is ones religion
rather than the profession Of ones re-
l%igion-that is the distinguishing
stamp, as elsewhere in the East. If
you ask a man his nationality, he in
variably tells you his religion. A
Greek, a Bulgarian, an Armenian, is
only Greek, Bulgarian, Armenian. so
long as he processes the religion of
his nation. By no amount of strate-
gy will a Greek, or an Armenian, who
has become a Catholic, ever be be-
trayed into calling himself a Greek or
an Armenian! The unfailing answer
to the question of his nationality is,
Il I'M q Catholic"
1t is perhaps safe to say that of the
100000 inhabitants Of the country,
one-third are Turks, a little less than
half are Bulgarian, and the rest are
of other 'nationalities."

Talk about your resignation
And your patience and all that
Under deadly ~aggravation!
/ believe in tit for tat.
There is comfort in rejecting
That there's lot of time to spare;
Consolation is expecting
That some time you'll get square.
If you get a healthy drubbing,

If you suffer from a snubbing,
You can always put it by.
Don't 60 off and NOPE in sorrow;
If it hurts you, don't you care.
Down to-day is up tomorrow,
For tomorrow you'll get square.
You will have your satisfaction;
Easily resentment dies,
And when you get into action
You will find the plan is wise.

Very little viii compare
With this sentence as a bracer:
Never mind it; I'll get square"

How Liverpool Saved Thousands of Lives
The city of Liverpool has saved
about 5000 lives a year by pulling
down its slum tenements and building
healthy homes for its people. Several
years ago there was a certain section
Of the city that was so dirty and over
crowded that sixty-ivc people out of
every 1000 died every year.
1T contained more than 5000 houses,
but the city bought them all and had
them pulled to the ground. New houses
were built and rented at a cheaper rate
than tbe landlords asked for the old
tenements. A three-room apartment
can be rented now for So a month. and
the death rate has been reduced r.
thirtyttwo per 1000. Liverpool be.
