rifice?

The late Captain ':Joe" Nicholson,
10 memory dear in Detroit, used to
ell of a long time prisoner who had
been in the house Of correction while
the captain ran that institution, says
the Detroit Journal.
Just before his term expired the
convict called the captain and told
him that justice was now done and
that an honest man would start fresh
in the world.
"But you have told me several
times that you were innocent Of the
charge on which you were sent here" "
$50 I was, Captain Joe, and l can
prove it. Here are the names OF
three witnesses. Get their statement
and see whether I'm lying"
lust as a matter of curiosity the
captain complied and found convinc-
ING evidence Of the mans innocence.
The convict was called in and in
dignantly asked why he had not used
his evidence in getting new trial.
"I1l tell you captain. In my time
I was acquitted three or four times
when 1 was guilty, so when l was
convicted of something I never did
7 Just thought I'd even things up
by taking my medicine without kick
ing. Besides, that, it sort of tlckled
me to find that justice had missed
me at every shot"

He Was A Northern Man.

Harper's Weekly.
A man from the north who recently
visited Washington became possessed
Of rhe desire to visit Mount Vernon.
Boarding tile electric train that runs
from the capital to the home OF WASH
ington, via Alexandria, the visitor had
comfortably ensconced himself in one
of the rear seats of compartment,
when the conductor raped him on
the shoulder, saying, Excuse me, but
this compartment is for colored men.
This was the northerner's first ex-
perience in a 'Jim Crow car. 'Why,
said he, surprised, 'the seats forward
are all occupied"

Bayles was obliged to trust to his
horse, whose eyes were far better than
his masters, but the brute seemed to
have difficulty in keeping the road.
At any rate, he was constantly found
ering in some bog beside it. Baylias
that he would not bring the doctor in
time-that on his return he would find
his wife dead-put tremor into his
voice that was not reassuring.
The distance he traversed was un-
known to him till he came to the cem-
etery, which he knew was half way.
Then suddenly flash Of lightning
the first illumination in night of
pitchy blackness-showed him ON the
other side of a stone wall tomb
stone on which was carved the name
ALBERT Seymour"
Baylies shuddered He and Seymour
had been rivals for the hand of Mar
garet Burns. Bayles had won, and
Seymour had never been the same
man afterward. Stricken with a dead
ly disease, he had declined treatment
averring that he wished to die. And
now the woman he loved was at
deaths door, and the man who had
Won her was trying to save her.
Whether it was the binding effect
Of the lightning on the horses eyes
or the fright that made him shy in the
inky ensuing blackness, he came
against the wall. Baylies went over
it, and that was the last of conscious
ness for him till the first glimmer Of
dawn showed him that he was lying
on the grave of Albert Seymour. His
horse TODD on the other side Of the
wall, with his nose over 1t, looking at
him. Baylies, Mortified at having thus
been delayed, got up, staggered to the
wall and climbed over to the other
side. He knew that when he had
started it was long past midnight, so
he supposed he might not have been
lying long unconscious. At any rate,
he hoped not. There was but one
course for him-to go forward. One
thing arrested his attention-his horse
was painting; not as though he had
stood waiting for his master to come
to himself; but as though he had been
galloping and had just stopped. But
there was no time for speculation.
Mounting, Baylies spurred onward AMI
in half an hour pulled up at the doc
tors door. A maid opened 1t and rec
ognizing Bayles as one Of her mas
ter's patients, looked at him surprised.

1t sometimes takes strangers de-
scription of our familiar habits to pre-
sent them to us in new light. The
remark Of Washington woman that
New England housewives were floor
worshippers Is case in point. The
Washington woman said she knew a
New Hampshire wife who turned the
cat outdoors and scrubbed the kitchen
floor every night just before she went
to bed. One night she forgot that her
husband was at work in the barn, and
Just as she got the floor "clean enough

the door. Rather than let him spoil
the floor she made him spend the
night in the haymow. Are there any

cans may have had Of him, certainly
no European actor has ever been more
cordially welcomed here, not only as
actor but as gentleman and scholar.
Henry Irving was naturally a man
of refined nature and high ideals. and
these qualities showed themselves In
everything he produced. Perhaps. in
deed, he will be longest remembered
not so much for what he did on the
stage as for what he did for the stage.
He increasingly maintained the highest
standards. He brought his artistic
feeling and appreciation to the prem
aration Of every play. 1t is not too
much to say that he revolutionized the
methods Of dramatic performance and
was the originator Of all that CAREFUL
ness Of detail historic accuracy. and
beauty Of setting which now charac.
terize representations. And with all
this he maintained the dignity of his
profession and gave to it new meaning
and strong defense whenever 1t was
assailed. He was kindly gentleman.

IDEAS, loftily upheld. He ennobled hIs

A woman who whistles is preferable
to one who whines.
Give a woman chance to show off
and she will make good.
Less a woman has to complain
about the more she complains.
All love messages Of the prudent
man are of the wireless variety.
A man is as old as he looks. but a
woman is seldom as young as she
thinks she looks.
1t is easier for girl to lead a man
to the altar than 1t Is to make him
eat her homegrown biscuits.
A girl who expects some man to
come along and propose to her after
the manner of the hero in q novel ia
bound to be disappointed.
A girl always likes to express her
opinion, but widow never tells a
man her private opinion Of anything
until she finds out his opinion of it.
If a man is looking for trouble all
he has to do is to marry a woman old
er than himself and then tell her he is
going to have her life insured in his
favor.

"The doctor" he gasped. rs he al
homer"
Hes gone to your house, sir"
my house? Then they have sent
some one else for him?"
"Yes sir; they must have"
But there was no one to send"
He was a gentleman, sir, and he
came on that horse. See the cut ON
his foreleg? 1t is bleeding yet"
do you mean that you noticed this
horse and know him by that cut?'
Indeed do, SIR"
D who rode him?'
"a tall, thin, pale gentleman with
sandy hair and side whiskers, and now
| remember. on his finger was a queer
looking gold ring made like twined
strands"
Baylies' blood ran cold. His wife be-
fore they were married had given AL
bert Seymour such a ring. After her
engagement with Baylies he had beg
ged permission to keep it, and she hal
consented.
Without a word Baylies turned and
rode back. Passing the cemetery,
there was the tombstone beneath
which slept the mortal part of the man
he had supplanted, the man whom he
firmly believed had taken up his mes
sage and while he was unconscious
carried it on it's way.
Baylies had hated his rival while ne
lived, and since his death had not
ceased to be jealous of him. But now
as he looked at the inanimate marble
that marked the grave of one from
whom he had taken all that made life
desirable, there rushed upon him a
sense of the selfshness of man, the
beneficence of immortality.
On reaching home he found the doc
tor working with his wife, whom he
had succeeded in bringing out of dan
ger.
"Why did you not wait for the
doctor, dear?" asked Mrs. Baylles,
land why have you been so long COM
ing?"
Baylies stood looking from her to
the doctor without reply; then he ask
ed the latter:
Did you see my messenger"
mo, he had gone before l came
down."
"What messenger" asked his wife.
81 met with an accident" Baylles
replied, land could not get on for a
time, so l sent one"
With that he turned away and the
subject was dropped.
Had l been summoned an hour
later" whispered the doctor to Baylies.

Criticism Of Irving has been various,
and has been largely influenced by his
mannerisms Of voice and gait and gen.
eral personality, but if scholarship
and intellect can make an actor great,
then Irving must be considered one OF
the greatest, and worthy to be ranked
with Garrick, Kemble, Kean, and other
famous English actors of the past. He
was not an emotional actor in any
sense, and even in his most melodra-
matte characters he was not 'sensa-
tional," never sentimental or STACEY.
He appealed to the heart through the
brain. For more than a quarter of Il
century he has been England's foremost

Apostles of advanced thought con-
tinue to maintain a reputation for in
consistency by declaring in one breath
that Americans worship wealth and
in the next that rich men have no
friends. Both assertions are, of course,
untrue. Dollar worship is not aug
menting and many rich men have plen-
ty of friendsAand deservedly so. A
mans possessions afford no index to
his capacity for friendship. There are
rich men with many friends and poor
men with none, but money-or the
lack of it-cuts no figure In the matter.

Noted English Actor Whose Death
Recently Occurred.
The sudden death Of Henry Irving
removes from the stage one Of It's most
Original, unique, enthusiastic and cultl-
waited representatives He was thinker
and scholar as well as actor. He thor
oughly believed in his calling, and no
actor at any period has done more to
dignity his profession or to elevate the
stage than he. That he should have
been honored by royalty for his work
was a fitting reward, and yet probably
the highest reward from his point Of
view was the new beauty and great
improvement in stage presentation
which he made and the warm apprecl-
alton with which the public regarded
his efforts.

working itself out, under the fallible
judgment of man, by the somewhat
hilly road of experience-b more note

of what this nation thinks or wishes

doubt by several contributing causes
but among these probably none has

The increase of suicides in Germany,
particularly of children's suicides, has
aroused general discussion of vital
conditions in the home and the school
and has also led to an endeavor to find
the causes. The gravity of the situa-
ton is shown by the fact that in Sax
ony alone twenty-one children under
IA years Of age committed suicide in
1903, while the total number of sui
cides in Germany in the same year
was over ,000-which considerably
exceeds the number in this country
though suicides are increasing here
with alarming rapidity. Various the
ories are put forward to account for
this increase in Germany. The social
lists explain it by economic reasons,
contending that it is growing harder
and harder TO get subsistence, which
makes life darker and darker The
school critics assert that children are
overforced and overstimulated, that
tasks are set for them which those
slightly below the standard of capacity
cannot accomplish, and that the fear
of reproof and injury to self-pride
leads them to suicide. The ministers
claim that "the absence Of faith, the
increase of irreligion, and the growth
of sensual materialism" explain the
weakening desire for life and that "a
revival of spiritual aims would lessen
suicides by increasing the serenity of
living" There may be more or less
of correctness in all these explana-
tions, but the ministers undoubtedly
are nearest the truth of the matter.
The increase of suicides Is not pecu-
liar to Germany. They are rapidly in
creasing in this country and many 9TH
ers. No country is free from them. It
is not easy to see why they should not
continue to increase. AS life grows
more complex with the progress of
civilization its demands grow more ex-
acting, its responsibilities heavier, its
pace swifter, and it's recklessness more
frequent and daring. The outcome of
all this must Of necessity be con-
tinued increase of the evil. There is
an increase not only of suicides aris-
ing from dependency, insanity, ill
health, domestic infelicity, disappoint-
ments in love, and the ordinary causes.
in which life has become burden too
heavy to bear, but of fantastic suicides
of all sorts, Of children because they
have been refused some request, of
suicides deliberately made by COM
pact, and Of members Of clubs organ
izer for suicidal purposes, and of sui
cides unworthy of being called any
thing but farces or freaks. There Is
in fact nothing in life cheaper than
life itself, as shown in self-murder. In
the murder of others, in the absolute
Indifference with which crimes of neg
ligence and carelessness are commit
ted, and the multiplicity Of accidental
casualties which are absolutely need
less and might easily be prevented.
To what extent this cheapness of life
Is due to the increase of irreligion, the
weakening influences of home and the
growth of sensual materialism Is a
problem which should engage the at
tentiOn Of students of moral philoso-
nv
