Mrs. Blanks Club Paper.

Ever since young Mrs. Blank Joined
the Mutual Culture club the prospect
of some day having to read a paper
there has hung like a pail over her.
When, after evading her duty as long
as possible, she found herself set
down for thesis on Neo-Platonism or
Babism, or something equally beyond
her ability, she nearly resigned from
the club.
There are ways, however of manag-
ing these things, and Mrs. Blank
found one of them through the kind
ness of Miss links, a fellow member
who writes for her living. Mrs. Blank
arrived at the club on the appointed
day in a new gown. She had, indeed,
spent the time that ought to have
served to make her more familiar with
her paper in having that gown fitted.
The paper, however, was neatly
typed, and Mrs. Blank read it most
impressively till she came to the bot
tom of the first page, There word
seemed to be lacking. Mrs. Blank hes.
itated, re-read the line, and hesitated
again.
Miss Jinks popped up eagerly.
THE word is 'syllogism," she said

Then trot along, Billie dear; enjoy

be sincere; days before the refine

One is so foolish to remember. The
opening of closed eyes may have
caused pain at the time of the opera

made the operation necessary and we

SPOKE AS A FRIEND.
Doctors Invitation Had Nothing to Do
With Advice,


Mclaughlin likes a wee dhrop,"
Tut he likes it often. His heart grew
weaker as his thirst grew stronger
Finally there came a time when he
felt the need of a doctors advice, and
so he called on one of his friends who
was a physician.
He found the doctor in his study,
with a camel fire at one side and a de-
Canter of liquor on the table at his
left. The doctor reached for his
stethoscope, and the patient unfasten-
ing his coat, cast an envious eye at
the decanter. The test being over,
the doctor placed the stethoscope on
the table near the decanter, and said:
Mac, you have a bad heart: very
had heart. Nothing organic, my boy,
but you will have to let liquor alone.
That is my advice as a physician"
Mclaughlin reached for his hat. His
fears were realized. He tried to lis
ten to good story the doctor was
telling. But he was in no humor for
joking and he edged his way toward
the door.
Have a little drink before you co.
said the doctor, as he poured out some
of the contents of the decanter into a
glass.
What do you mean?" demanded
Mclaughlin. Didn't you just tell me
that if 1 didn't stop drinking it would
be the death of me?''
Yes, did, said the doctor. But
that was the physicians advice. AS

Indifference of Parents.

One important reason for children
dropping out of school, especially in
the lower grades. is the lack of in
terest by the parents in the education
of the child There are large num-
Der of parents who seem to have lit
tie conception of the value of an edu-
cation Not often is the child taken
out of school and put to work at
once The process is, for the parent to
keep the child out a few days or a
few weeks at a time to help with
the work. OF course the child falls
behind the class and gets discouraged,
and expresses a desire to leave school.
Frequently the excuse is, Il don't like

PSYCHIC INFLUENCE IN BATTLE.
1t Cost kouropatkin a Victory at Lao
vano and Yen-Tai.

1t Cost Kouropatkin Victory at Lao
yang and Yen-Tai.
Kouropatkin cannot be pronounced
free of all blame, says a writer In the
London Standard, in spite of the vari-
Gus manifestations of incapac1ty on
the part of those occupying his COM
mands, and in spite of the fatal inter
ferences by the viceroy in his plan OF
campaign.
The passive defense continually
maintained long after it was neces-
sary, the termination of every encoun-
ter before a decision had been arrived
at, and the interminable retreats
caused thereby, could only damp the
enthusiasm of the army.
The weak point in Kouropatkin' S
conduct for which in other respects
good military reasons can be assigned,
must be sought in his attaching too
light weight to moral considerations
and in disregarding the reaction which
the slow but constant advance of the
Japanese produced among his troops
and followers
Finally, the disdain of the imponder-
ables of Unreasonable psychical infiu-
ences avenged itself on the comman-
der-in-chief himself by drawing him
down into the whirlpool of the army's
shaken confidence At the decisive
moments on the blood-sodden battle
fields of Liaoyang and Yentai his COM
posture deserted him and when only
requiring to stretch out his hand TO
gain the Iaurels he yielded them to his
opponent
| 1t was only during the nine days
battle between Mukden and Liaoyang
that Cen. Kouropatkin regained his
lost confidence, and it was only due 10

Rod that the Russian army was en-
abled to maintain its positions ana

Dear Billie:-Your letter of June
26th reached me ages ago at St

busy that l have had no time for re-

1t is very good of you, l am sure,
to think of me.
So you are settled in your quiet,
married life. Requiescat in pace.

In the monotonous rut in which l

fore 1 knew anything of life or of men,
and when you vowed you loved me
and would love me always, and
1 believed you, how my very credulity
must have bored you. Gullibility is
so very unattractive-so very gauche.
You were indeed self-sacrificing to
give me so much of your time and so
many of your kisses. The contact of
your lips, the warmth of your caresses
and the electric bond that united us
constituted my heaven and l could
not tell you how deeply l loved you.
nor could 1 make sacrifices enough
for you How very bourgeois. You
were very patient to tolerate me so
long as you did. But then. first love
is always foolishly sincere, and it's
very honesty and depth bring their
own Reconsideration.

formed undeveloped. And how lone
some 1 used to be. What fool things
I did and said and believed And
when you left me without one mo-
ment's warning, I wanted to throw
away this life-to speed it to unknown
worlds. How cruel l know now that
life is full of interest, ever changing,
ever new scenes. 1 have run the
gamut of all known emotions, and out

Truly, it is the unexpected that hap

are too late. Much too late. 1 have
something more interesting to do just
now, besides the husband of another

Present Worship of Wealth Not Des-
tined to Last.
We are living and have been living
in a period of Notwithstanding, of
money-making, of industrialism and
comm ercialism, in which have grown
uI colossal fortunes through the de-
ye1opment of the enormous natural
advantages of this wonderful country.
IT such period OF industrialism sue
cess is apt to be measured by indf-
vidua1 wealth or earning capacity. But
we shall come more and more to un-
derstand and appreciate the true stand
ard, to estimate men, not in dollars
and cents, but according to their real
worth. The worlds greatest benefac-
tors have been men who lived and died
poor in material wealth. The scholar,
the patriot, the statesman, the artist,
the scientist. the teacher, the moral
exemp1ar, these in the greatness of
their work make the mere money
grubber seem meanly small. There
is too much worship of wealth, but it

Less Trouble over pesertions.

Profting by long experience, the
War department has made some
changes in its method of recruiting
soldiers for the regular army. 1t has
been found that much the greater
percentage of deserters consisted of
quite young recruits, who soon dis
cover that the regular service is not
what they imagined and take French
leave on the first opportunity In
view of the numerous courtsmartiaI
thus required, and the severe penal
ties for desertion. the new recruits
are now drilled for several weeks, with
out giving them uniforms or requiring
them to take the oath. If they run
away in the meantime they are not
sought after and new recruits take
their places. The army is thus saved
the trouble OF trying numerous DESERT
ers by courtmartia1.-Philad

Whv He Passed.

One of Assistant Attorney General
Beck's stories was especially appre-
ciated by law students. A general in
the civil war applied at the close of
the conflict for admission to the bar
of the United States.
A committee of three examiners
reported that he had answered cor
rectly two-thirds of the questions put
to him. A judge, astonished at the
generals success. asked the chairman
of the committee what the questions
were. WELL he replied, ''the first
was. What is the rule in Shelly S
case and the answer was Writing
poetry That was not correct.
Then we asked him what was a
contingent remainder and a vested
interest," and he said he did not
know. That was correct, and we ad
mitted him.-Chicago Law Journal.

WINE HE LEFT MOST PRECIOUS.
But Nearly All His Bonds and Stocks
Were Worthless.

The executors of the estate Of the
late Moses Graeff, owner of the New
ersink vineyards, says the Philadel-
phia Record, discovered to-day in a
strong box in one of the banks $50, 900
in stocks and bonds which are worth
less. Attached to the bonds are TWEEN
ty coupons, which show that no in
terest was ever paid.
Quite a number of other securities
of the same nature have been found,
showing that Mr.. Graeff in his long
business career managed to go into
ventures that proved disastrous If all
had been good he would have left an
estate of 5000, 900.
