1t Is the Man That Counts

The newspapers of the country devOtng columns Of

The burden of it all is that it is the that counts and
this is proclaimed to the world with enthusiasm which
indicates belief the part of each writer that he has dis
covered brand truth; that will set the whole
world agog when it becomes known.
But why all this hubbub? OF course, it is the that
counts. This is a world old truth
1t is always the that counts. He has counted since
the dawn of He has counted in and in peace
He has counted in all the crises Of history and he has
counted in all Of the long stretches Of everyday life when
there was lacking the inspiration Of the battle song and the
enthusiasm that is due to heroic leadership.
Batlesips alone cannot bring victory the great
death dealing guns with all Of their terrible power 1t is
the the baeship, the man behind the gun, that
wins the day. 1t is the with trained mind sound
body and a courageous heart that conquers.
And is this kind of that is victor in the battles
of peace well those of 1t is this kind of a
that alters that gives up. He fights faith
fully and perssenty for the good Of himself and of his
fellows He keeps his eyes to the front and pushes
ward the goal that he in the distance.
Machines of wondrous power and inventions of
yeous nricacy have their USES but these always de-
pendent upon the man.
The forces of nature hanessed and made render
service to society but is the that makes these things
possible
1t is the man that counts.

Too Honest to Be Governor

Gov VIM. l.. Douglas, of Massachusetts, the wealthy
shoe manufacturers who held sought public Office

who is honest has hard row to hoe
Gov. Douglas has not been supported by the managers

loyal to the interests of the people He has vetoed bills for
graft and spo that his party leaders had supported

For two years Mr.. and Mrs. John
Jay Tonkin of Oswego, N. Y, have
been distracted by mysterious letters
threatening the abduction and murder
of their beautiful 12-year-old daugh-
ter Rosamond unless $4,000 is paid
over to the writer.
Mr.. Tonkin is a well known mil
lionaire manufacturer and mine own
er. Mr.. and Mrs. Tonkin believe they
have no enemies. They are active in
charity and church work, and are
quite at a loss to give the slightest
clew to the detectives and police who
have long been working upon this
most mysterious of Matchmaking
schemes.
The father has offered a reward of
$4,000 for proof OF the identity of
the writer of the letters.
While Mrs. Tonkin is PROSTATE
with fear at the thought of the
threatened abduction and murder of
her little daughter, the little girl her
self is growing pale and sickening
from the necessary restraint placed
upon her movements.
Servants suspected of having been
mixed up in the threatened plot have
been dismissed.
At one time the family left their
Oswego home, and, covering their
movements, sought a home in New
York for the purpose of outwitting
the person or persons who are di-
recting the blackmail They were

rified by a continuance of the letters

The child is not permitted to go
out without a bodyguard of several
armed servants, each charged to pro-
tect her safety with his own life.
Mrs. Tonkin is devoted to her chill
dren, loving them with an intensity
which is almost painful to witness
In 1899 her little daughter Virginia
