second year OF his first term as PresI-

The cast was exhibited at the fourth
international dental congress. held at
St. Louis recently, and attracted grelt
interest from members Of the profession.
Many on the prominent dentists at the
Congress MADE a careful study OF the
cast. and with unanimity pronounced
the work truly remarkable for that dsy

that the set was as nearly perfect and

made at this period Of modern dentistry.
Dates Back to 1890.
The history OF the DR.. woelk cast of
Washington's teeth practically dates
from the introduction or dentistry into
the United States by LeMair, OF the
French forces. which Joined General
Washington's command during the Rev

On November Il. 1885. was concluded
an extensive scheme Of remodeling the

Dr. Greene's Passionate.
Calvary Church has attained its pres

pastorate of the Rev. Dr. Samuel Har-
rison Greene who was unanimously
called TO the charge Of the church near
- twenty-five years ago lie found a
comparatively small congregation which
ne has built up to a membership Of
nearly 1000. The Bible school has grown
from 100 70 Zoo members. DR. Greene's
congregation IS devoted to him and
the revenues Of the church have reached
such proportions that an immense
amount Of good work is possible each
year.
DR.. Greene was born On Enosburg Vt,

tire sets and were carved in ivory. The
first set was made in 1890, and It was
from this set that the cast exhibited by
DR. Woelk a the recent dental congress
was made. The teeth We're secured BY
spiral springs. and the originality,
neamess, and workmanship are con-
sidered equal TO any executed at
that period. The teeth were made in
three blocks for each the upper and
lower jaw, the ten front teeth being
made separate. and for the moIars. on
either side OF the jaw. were solid blocks
or ivory. TO which were attached the
spiral springs, which held the teeth in

Cooperation In Denmark.

An illustration of the adage that In
union is strength is found in the IA
nous cooperative societies in Den
mark. United States Consul Mahin at
Nottingham, England, finds in these
the explanation of the fact that Eng
land buys most of her butter and eggs
of Denmark. These societies seem to
be able to successfully meet and over
come difficulties which would wreck
individuals unsupported by Organlza-
ton and which seem by their united
effort to defy competition in the mar
keting Of their products. There are
said to be over 1000 such cooperative
societies In Denmark, with fully $780,
600 members. Besides these are the
cooperative creameries, numbering
1867, with 100000 members.
1t is stated that the butter trade of
Siberia Is being organized in the same
way, apparently by Danish companies
which are establishing branch organ
iDations in that country.
The egg trade is similarly organized
in Denmark and, as in the case Of but
ter over nine-tenths of that country s
exports of eggs come to the United
Kingdom. The Danish cooperative
egg exporters societies contain $4,000
members. Besides other elements of
success in their working, they are said
to be extremely careful that no stale
eggs are exported.
1t is well for the American farmer
to keep abreast of the world, and to do
so he must take advantage of the
strong points developed in all coun-
tries.

One of the most interesting side lights
on the character of Mrs. Fairbanks is
furnished by an incident of her ID. A.

and astute tactician. Mrs. Desha of
Kentucky, founder of the organization
questioned ruling of the chair. "The
motion was clearly out of order"
promptly announced Mrs. Fairbanks
"But, Madam Chairman" protested the
delegate, somewhat surprised, sit is in

ed" retorted the chair, with a smile.
"You should never follow the chair

Justice to the Puritan.

In this age there is certain fllppant
tendency TO underrate the Puritan.
That is because we do not understand
him. We are too materlalistic, too
worldly, to appreciate his character.
But, in this, did 1t ever occur to us that
be was right and we are wrong? He
looked at the eternal: we at the eva.
nescent In spite of what we, In our
superior way, term his fanaticism. he
was ruled by a principle. He was re-
belling against the Journalism, the i'm
moral standards and the unfaith of his
age. He was moved by powerful
spiritual impulse-so powerful that il
has been felt In the world from that
day to this. 1t drove Charles l. from
the throne and gave the world a Crom-
well, Milton and Hampden. 1t final.
ly eventuated in transferring the gov
ernment of England from the crown
to the parliament. 1t sent the May
flower across the sea. 1t generated a
spirit that threw the tea into Boston
harbor and fought Lexington and
Bunker HILL Later the same force made
such an abolition sentiment that slav-
cry was driven from the American con-
tinent.
1t was a robust, virile. courageous
movement. There was no hairsplit-
ting, milk and water namby pambyism
about it. 1t not only announced the
right, but was ready to fight for it.
Singing psalms and praising God it
went into the battle. Its conscience
was behind its sword stroke, and for
that reason it won. 1t was home
loving. God fearing, moral movement.
1t did not wink at vice and invent
smooth sophistries to cover sin. 1t
was stout and sturdy. the most cour-
ageous movement ever known to his
tory. There was nothing complacent
about it. When it saw wrong 1t cried
out in indignation. 1t was intensely
patriotic.
No people ever stood so stoutly for
individual freedom. True, for time
they were intolerant to others But
this was one of the things that the
time had bequeathed to them and that
they had not entirely overcome. At
last they saw that political liberty and
religious liberty must go together
Much of this seeming intolerance, how
ever, grew from their rigid adherence
to principle. They had been trained in
an uncompromising school.
We have no stores to throw at the
men who carved our freedom We need
their spirit in the world today. We
need their love of the wholesome and
the clean. We need their profound
religious convictions. We need their
loyalty to principle.

SALE OF BABIES.
Philadelphia Coroner Says There Is
No Way to Stop It,

No Way to Stop Ii.
While the buying and selling of in
fants carried on at 2936 West Dauphin
street, says the Philadelphia Press. is
only one instance of the shameless
traffic in humanity in this city, there
Is at present no law by which those en-
gagged in the business can be prose-
cuted.
Coroner Dugan said recently when
particularly fagrant case was
brought before him:
There is really no law against the
buying and selling of infants. The
only way we can get at the case is
under the law of cruelty. When we
can prove that the children are in
humanity treated then we are able to
convict the keepers of the houses, but
very often it is proved that the chill
dren are better off when adopted than
In the hands of their own parents.
But 1t is degrading to allow infants
to be bartered and sold like animals.
The act In itself ought to be Illegal.
We thrashed this subject pretty thor
Oughly in our crusade against baby
farms last spring, and the result is that
out of twenty which one of our men
visited recently eighteen have been
closed"
Coroner Dugan also said that he
knew of instances where babies had
been loaned overnight for So and re-
turned the next morning In one case
woman bought child for SO. kept
it overnight and upon returning it the
next day received $12 back"

slightly checkered time. As her moth
er had been before her, the girl was
sent to Wesleyan and came back to her
home at Indianapolis. when she was
twenty years old, beauty, popular
and ready for a Washington debut,
where it was expected she would make
a sensation.
She made a sensation, but not the
kind that was expected, for she left the
house one morning and that noon was
married TO Mr.. Horace X. Allen, Jr..
who was then manager of the National
Surgical institute. 1t was known that
Mr.. Allen was devoted to her. but the
girls parents opposed any engagement,
thinking she was too young. Miss
Fairbanks met Mr.. Allen at noon, and
while her father was paying call on
President Mckinley. who was then in
the city, the girl and Mr.. Allen went to
the house of friend and were mar
ried. Mr.. and Mrs. Fairbanks were
Immediately notified, and though they
were frankly hurt by their daughter 5

her husband and made the best of it.
Nevertheless, in December, 1907,

husband and again astonlshed her
