FALL LING IN LOVE A PROCESS
OF INDIVIDUAL SELECTION
BY DOROTHY FENIM0RE.

1t is certainly not fair. when we
know better, to teach young people
that their hearts are like sleeping
princesses, which only one person in all
the wide world has power to awaken.
Why, every time they felt thrill OF
sentimental life they would be certain
the appointed hour had come for them
to sit up, rub the sleep out OF their
eyes and follow whittier their emotion,
heaven-sent. might lead them.
The idea is like a painted eggsheu
that has been blown, good to look at.
but nothing in it.
The distinction is not made clear
enough TO the young that love and low
ing are quite different things. Love Is
the emotion one gets from the attrac-
ton Of another personality. Loving
means the mental and spiritual accept
ance Of another human being for bet
ter or for worse. Furthermore. love
does wake up the heart as the fairy
prince woke up the sleeping beauty in
the fairy tale. But 1t comes as an i'm
pulse. and not as a person In other
words it comes from within, and not
from without.
Falling in love is a process OF in
dividual selection, and not the result OF
some mysterious external force. A
lover cannot tell his sweetheart why
he loves her. But he would have no
difficulty in defining why he does not
love any other woman Of his acquaint-
ance whom one might name. He has
found a woman whose nature is
complement Of his own. But this does
not make him a puppet in the hands
Of fate. In loving he has not lost an
iota Of his personality. or OF his in
dividual freedom. If he had not met
her. he would have met some one else
who suited him as we'll

must have a long enough tail on it to
keep it steady after it goes up above
the housetOps and into the wind. Thus,
the best piece Of sentiment ever made
is better for a few facts tied to it as
ballast.
Here are my facts: Whoever falls
in love does it on his own responsible
ity. We do not fall in love because we
have to. but because we want to. Yet
we are not wholly to blame for the
mistakes We make. We were taught
to worship before a wanton little god
with bow and arrow. "A mans life
shows a mans love. He cannot love
honorably without living honorably.
He cannot love wisely unless he has
either inherited or cultivated common
sense.

PERFECT EQUIPMENT
AND SERVICE WILL
END RAIL DISASTERS

Editor The CALI would like to say
few words in reply to the old fire
man, Il. H. Herald of Sonora, in The
Call few days ago. He says, as an
old fireman, he thanks you for your
editorial of recent date on rail dis
asters and he is right-your ideas on
that subject are food for thought for
all railroad managers and men in rail-
road work
However, when Herald makes the
statement that railroad superintend-
ents keep men in their employ just
because they (the men) are jolly good
fellows who rely on their luck instead
of merit for success, he shows in that
one sentence why. ne is still an old
fireman instead of an up-to-date, Jolly.
good engineer.
l have been in the railway service
for nineteen years and I have never vet
seen the man who did his work we'll
and faithfully who failed to stand we'll
with the superintendent, and 1 have
found, too. that the jolly, good fellows
were generally the brightest and best
men for their places and wave of the
hand or a pleasant smile did not take
their minds off their work for a mo-
ment.
The condition of men in train SER
vice to-day, as compared with twenty
years ago, certainly shows them in a
class by themselves In the labor world
and in progress.
The travelling public has the train
men to thank for most of the comfort
and safety it enjoys to-day. 1t is the
train man who has always insisted on
the betterment of the laws for his own
and the public's safety and 1 think. if
the owners and managers of railroads
would work more for perfect equip
ment and better service and less profit
for a few years, the terrible accidents
and loss of life we read of every day
would soon be a thing of the past.
The subject is too great to be handled
properly in this short letter but the
public can rest assured the train men
stand ready and willing to help capital
bring about the proper conditions.
When too much is asked of human ma
ture accidents will happen.

HE M.4DE LODE
TO ST ORE DUNN y

1t was James Listers affectionate in
clinations that brought him into trouble
at Cleveland the other day. He was
brought into the Police Court on COM
plant of Max Englander, a Lorain
street cIothier. The charge was plain
drunk.
Englander said that while in front of
his store enjoying the evening breeze he
was astounded and Mortified to perceive
Lister advance from the street and
place his arms about the waist of Eng
lander's clothing dummy. Too amazed
to move, Englander says that he stood
helpless while Lister embraced the
dummy repeatedly, giving vent the
while to loving sentiments.
When at last he was able to summon
his energies to resist the attack of Lis
ter, Englander shouted for the police
Lister pleaded not guilty. His wife
appeared in court with her small baby
and pleaded for his release. 1t was
finally granted by Judge Whelan after
a lecture to the amorous Lister.

The Telenhone Ear

A peculiar development of the sense
of hearing has been discovered as be-
ing the result of the use of the tole-
phone Most people when using the
instrument hold the receiver to the
left ear because it comes more naruraI
to adjust the mouthpiece with the right
hand SO it happens that from an ex-
tensive use of the telephone the hear
ing of the left ear is sharpened a the
expense of the right. In the majority
of cases the difference between the Two
is not very great, but in some persons
it is alarmingly So The sensitive
nerves are so irritated by the sound
coming directly on them. and in a tone
which is strange, that it sets up re-
action which has a cumulative effect
and uDsets them.

A FORGED LETTER APPEARS.
The Presidents Name Signed to a Let
ter He Didn't Write.

Forgery of the Presidents signature and
views has made It's appearance in the cam
paign. Ex-senator Lee Mantle of Mon
tana, chairman of the republican state
committee of that state, has telegraphed
to the White House calling attention to the
forgery. The Miners Magazine, published
at Denver by the Western Federation Of
Miners. contains a letter purported to have
been written by President Roosevelt to
Michael Donnelly, president of the Meat
Cutters Union, during the recent strike, on
the subject of the beef strike. The con-
tents of the alleged letter reflect severely
upon Donnelly and the strikers. The letter
winds up as foliows
My final advice to you, Mr.. Donnelly,
is to quit when you have had enough. 1t
is evident that your strike was ill-ad-
vised. This is proved by the fact that
your employers are able to get plenty Of
men to take your places"
The labor organ condemns the Presi-
dent in most bitter terms for the alleged
sentiments.
Senator Mantle has been informed that
the letter is the worst sort of a forgery,
and Secretary Loeb has written to Mr..
Donnelly a personal letter asking if he
received such a letter, and if he did so
to please turn it over to the nearest
United States attorney for suitable in
vestigatiOn, with a view to criminal
prosecution.

MILITARY REORGANIZATION
Believed That Grand Duke Nicholas
Will Be Made Chief.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 27.-Al-
though an official announcement to the ef-
feet is not expected Immediately since 1t
will require some little time to get Russia g
second army in the field. the designation OF
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch the
inspector general of cavalry as command
er-in-chief, is regarded as practically set
tied Some of Gen. Kuropatkin's friends
still cling to the hope that he may vet be
appointed, especially If he now achieves
notable success against Field Marshal
Oyama, but the idea is not shared in the
best-informed circles.
Inc situation at the front, with two, and
perhaps three, big armies. is considered to
demand above all else that the supreme
commander be of such personal authority
as to be beyond jealousles and the possibii-
1ty OF intrigue on the part of the subordi-
mates, and such a man the emperor now
realizes can be supplied only by a member
or the imperial family. Grand Duke Nicho-
las Is regarded as being extremely well fit
ted for this great responsibility. He has
youth and an iron constitution but above
all resolution and untiring energy Win
these qualifications, whatever he lacks in
military experience and ability as strate-
gist can be supplied by placing at his DIS
posal the most able military advisers of the
Russian army The suggestion that Kuro-
patkin might become chief of staff, and
thus, in fact. II not in name, the real COM
mander of the armies, as Field Marshal
Won Moltke was the actual commander OF
the German armies. although nominally
only Emperor Williams chief of stan. is
generally rejected. Grand Duke Nicholas
will not rely upon a single adviser, but on
a stan comprising the ablest strateg1sts or
the general staff, who, in reality will con-
sutute board OF direction of military op-
eratlons. Moreover, the officers who are
best acquainted with Grand Duke Nicholas
believe he may develop military genius OF
a high order.
Viceroy Alexien is regarded as almost
certain to return here. The report tbaf no
may become chancellor of the empire. now
ever is exploded. He is more likely to re-
tain his title and come to St Petersburg
nominally in the capacity of adviser of the
emperor, and will thus efface himself as a
factor of the military situation in the far
east.

THE LEFT MOVING UP
Advance of japanese Up the
Liao River.
REPORTED AT DAVAN
oYAMA's ARMIES COVER A FRONT
OF SIXTY MILES.
Advance on Mukden Seems to Be Con-
Quoted With Great Caution
and Deliberation
REPORTED AT DAVAN

ST. PETERSBURG, September 27.-The
latest development in the situation at the
front is the definite establishment of the
fact that Field Marshal Oyama has now be-
gun to move up his left. General Kuropat-
kin's report today shows that the japanese
have reached Davan, on the west bank of
the Lao river.
A considerable concentration of Japanese
is observed at Sianchan, on the Hun river,
thirty-five miles southwest of Mukden, and
Japanese cavalry is massng in the valley of
the Pu river The latter is a tributary
of the Hun river, which crosses the line of
railway midway between Tie Pass and
Mukden. and may furnish a natural line OF
advance from the west.
OYama's armies now apparently cover a
front of sixty miles for enveloping move
ments. His wings are extended to the
north. east and west of Mukden.
Thus far the Russians have found little
strength or pressure from the japanese
center. Oyama seems to be moving with
great deliberation, probably gathering
strength for a rapid advance of both wings
when an attempt is made to close the net.
Although the imaginary line connecting
the extreme Japanese advance east and
west of Mukden still passes ten miles below
that city, ii is evident that the fate of Muk-
den cannot long be delayed. If Gen. Kuro-
ing on his fanks will begin almost imme-
diately.
The general staff has received the fol-
lowing dispatch from General Sakharoff,
dated yesterday:
The enemyS vanguard, consisting of
one battalion and two squadrons of cav
airy, assumed the offensive. probably for a
reconnaissance in the district between the
Mandarin road and the heights of the
village of Toumytsa. His advance was
stopped by our troops. The enemy retreat
ed along the whole line. pursued by our
cavalry. The enemy has not yet advanced
north of Davan, on the left bank of the
Lao river, but an increased force has been
observed in the neghborhood of Sian
Chan Japanese cavalry has appeared
in the valley of the Lao river"
The cOmmissariat department is already
prepared to furnish winter outfits for half
million men. About 47S,00O sets of fur
caps cloaks and boots are proceeding to
the far east.

sa today to review the Sth Army Corps.

Russky Invalid publishes a telegram from
Gen. kuropatkin praising the work of the

dorsed as follows:

opinion of the commander-in-chief of the
perfect manner in which the commissariat
ofhcers fulfilled their duties.''
