Careless About Diamonds.

When the postman called at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Genevieve Chandler Phipps
i'll Pearl street. Denver, Colo. the other
day, she handed him small package adj
dressed to New York diamond broker.
Mrs. Phipps made no request to have it
registered. When it reached the postof-
flee clerk noticed the string was coming
off. and in trying to replace it he caught
glimpse of the diamonds. The clerk inn
mediately carried il to his chief and the
parcel was found to contain diamond
brooch more expensive than the postoffice
officials had ever seen before. The car
rier was summoned, and when he said
Mrs. Phipps expressed no concern about
the safety of the parcel the conclusion
was reached that the jewels were paste.
The postOtfice officials, however, sent for
a jeweler and the expert valued the
brooch at about $4,000. The postoffice
people communicated by telephone with
Mrs. Phipps, but she said She did not
care to have it registered. She added
that New York diamond broker had
sent the brooch to her, telling her to send
him S2S,500 if she desired to keep it.
The brooch was sent out on the Chicago
mails just as any other ordinary parcel.

widowed mother. She has big, gentle
blue eyes, chubby cheeks and thick, silk

the most difficult compositions with n
clear insight. with sympathy and under
standing and with wonderfully excellent
technique. Aline is not punished for her
precocity with the grown-up air and
blase manner that has distinguished so
many child geniuses. She is a genuine
little girl and likes to play with dolls as
other little girls do. When she had

tons from Chopin and List for critic

COLUMBUS WAS TOO SOON.
College Lecturer Says Discoverer Could
Have Done Better by Waiting.

'Oae of the greatest misfortunes to
America said Prof. j. Paul Goode of
the University of Chicago to the
junior college students in division meet
ing the other.day lis that Columbus dis
covery was made too soon. 1t would
have been UNNECESSARILY better for the
western hemisphere if it hard not been
heard of for hundred years after
1892"
A century later, the professor ex-
planned, Europe was advanced further
than in the days of the Genoese navi-
gator In 1000 it would have been in
better condition to take upon itself the
settlement and development of Il new
continent. There might have been diff
ferent kind of growth. which would have
been better than that which finally re-
suited.
The professor refrained from going in
more detail into what might have been.
He asserted he had no personal quarrel
with Columbus because of the latter's
achievements. The sailors intentions
were good, according to the professor, and
he should not be held accountable for the
harm he unwittingly did. 1t was mis-
take, but his object was worthy.
Columbus was great admiral" con-
Guided Prof. Goode. He did what 9TH
ers had failed to do, and he doubtless de-
serves bis monument"

Good news comes from Washington, in
the assurance that the monthly report of
the Department of Agriculture will show
the average condition of winter wheat on
pared with T6.J on the same date last
year and with an average of S3.1 for the
corresponding dates during the past ten
years. The condition of winter rye is re-
ported to be 92.1, compared with S24 a
year ago, and with an average condition
of $40 at this time for ten years. OF
course there is plenty of chance for ac-
cidents to the grain crops between now
and harvest; but the higher the condition
now the greater the percentage of loss
that can be sustained without disaster,
and the better the promise of the crop.

WHAT ARE COMMANDMENTS?
Chicago University Man Gives Interest
ing Views on Subject.

The ten commandments and the
thousand other moral codes, followed
in varying degrees by humanity
since the beginning of the Christian
era, are no longer considered com
mands. according to Prof. John
Merle Coulter of the University of Chica-
so, who expressed his views on the sub
ject to 200 clergymen at the Midway
school recently in an address on Sci
ence as a Teacher of Morals"
Commandments he termed Scientific
truths" He does not consider the set
of moral principles contained in the ten
commandments or i'll the sermon on the
mount TO be authoritative because they
are commanded, but because science has
proven that they are true.
In the address he said in part.
From the standpoint Of science the
various moral codes that have been nut
together do not have any suggestion of
command. They are attempted state
ments at truth which therefore must be
tested.
"Fhe set of moral principles contained
IN the ten commandments are not author
itatlve because they are true. Science
would never raise the question whether
this commandment or that commandment
was binding on this nation or that ma
ton or this generation or upon some 9th
err generation, whether they contain prin-
ciples that are essential for well ordered
individuals or society.
If so they are true and always apply
eyerywhere-just as what we call the
law of gravitation does. They work like
the individual grows in knowledge.
The childhood of the race was COM
PEELED to receive them as commands.
Now the maturity of the race recognizes
them as the statement of eternal truth.
which is infinitely more binding than any
command could be-
