Historical Preced dent,

Frances is the 4-year-old daughter
of a great architect. One bright
spring morning she was possessed
with wild desire to lean far out Of
the nursery window. Her mother told
her several times what a dangerous
proceeding this was, but Frances paid
little heed. Finally she added:
Frances, it isn't considered proper
to lean out of the window. No one
who is at all nice ever does?"
"Why, mother!" said Frances, with
marked disapproval and establishment,
Barbara Frietchie did!"-Lippin-
colts.

Failures and Successes.

Men have two kinds of ambition
one for dol1ar-making, the other for
life-making. Some turn all their abil
ity, education, health and energy
toward the first Of these dollar
making-and call the result success
Others turn them toward the second
into character, usefulness, helpful,
ness-life-making-and the world
sometimes calls them failures; but
history calls them successes. No
price is too great to pay for an unfair
nished name.-O: S. Marden in Sue

Importance that 1t marks almost as much
of an epoch In medical history as the dis
covery of antiseptics or of anaesthetics.

surviving members of the original commits
sion are DR.. James Carroll, now on duty

The bust is the work of Mr.. Schiller,
Baltimore artist, and represents a part
OF the Reed memorial fund which was
raised soon after the death of that OFF,
Ger.
1t had been intended that the Reed fund
should amount 20 $4,000 the interest on
which should go during her lifetime to DR..

classes of songs must be eliminated from
this discussion, as having nothing whatever
to do with real negro music. First, rag

''In July of this year little boy In our family
