over IN another way. The habit Of
swearing is without sense because it is
useless. If you want to say things
strongly, don't swear. The more oaths
you use the weaker your statement will
be. The habit of swearing is coarse
as proven by the fact that oaths are
not used in the presence of the best
company. Men and boys dc not swear
when good women are about. The habit
of swearing is eXtravagant because 1t
is not necessary for your comfort. 1t
does not minister to a single natural
pleasure. On the contrary, it develops
a bad temper and other things. But
here is one of the strongest arguments
against profane speech: The use OF
oaths is prima facie evidence that the
man or boy who uses them is ignorant.
When you drag profanity into your
speech you show that you are not sufil-
GENTLY intelligent to express yourself IN
good English. And the more you swear
the greater the evidence of your lack
of education and culture. When you
swear habitually and in almost every
sentence you show your lack Of knoWl-
edge of the ordinary adjectives of the
language. You lack the first principle
of expression. If you do not wish TO
be put down by intelligent men as
ignorant, leave off your swearing. Does
that touch you in a tender spot! 1t
ought to. because it is true.

INDIANS NEED NO DENTIST.

Eating No Sweets and Living Out
door Life, Their Teeth Are Sound.
'SNobody ever saw an Indian with
bad teeth" remarked J. S. Miller OF
the One Hundred and One Ranch just
after he had completed arrangements
for the Indian camp which is to be
part of the One Hundred and One
Ranch show.
"Do you know why?" he continued.
"Just this: because they eat no sweets
of any kind, they restrict themselves
to simple food and they live out OF
doors. When we first started out with
these wild west shows every fall l
thought, inasmuch as the trip was in
tended as a sort of an outing, to give
nv Indians a touch of high life by put
ting them up at hotels. They were
thoroughly unhappy and nearly starved
on the small portions of various dish
es. They could not touch the sweets
nor eat anything fried. So now we let
them do their own cooking, which IS
very simple. They boil great quantl-
ties of meat and a big helping of this
with bread and coffee is all that an In
dian wants. They take no cream or
sugar in their coffee and, in fact, never
use sugar in any article of food.
"There are Indians on the One Hun
dred and One ranch so old that nobody
can tell their age. They may show
every mark of extreme age, but every
one of them has all his teeth and they
are sound and firm" kansas City

no traces of the Serapeum. The sea-

Fishy Suicide.

Archie Crawford caught catfish in

had lived a misspent life and wanted
TO commit suicide. The Dish was thin,

had worried a good deal. Crawford

the fish would get on the hook Craw-

DOES WELL IN THIS LAND.

Immigrant Boy Dies, Having Accu-
muIated $4,000 In Few Years.
Over at 25S Graham avenue, Brook
Ign, an aged father and mother, two
sisters and a brother are bewailing the
death of Jakey Karplan, as he was ia
miliarly known to pretty nearly all in
the Brownsville section. About five
years ago he left the province OF Cour-
land in Russia, taking passage to Amer
lea with no other asset than a little
red bundle and an abundance Of en-
ergy and ambition.
He did not know word Of English
when he landed at Ellis Island. The
Hebrew Aid Society released him and
gave him a small sum of money. With
that he bought a basket and a small
stock of shoestrings, collar Buttons and
other notions and thus equipped he
started a successful business career.
Within a year he had saved enough to
bring his old father and mother, two
sisters and brother to this country.
When they came he rented q house at
253 Graham avenue, Brooklyn, ana It
took every cent he bad left to meet the
first months rent. After that all the
members of the family worked at some
thing and in a few months the shop
into which he had turned part of the
house was the storehOuse Co a consid-
cradle stock Of dry goods anc notions,
from which his pushcart and his broth
er's were supplied.
Business prospered and friend of
the family told a reporter that the
family owned $4,000 in real estate and
other assets. All this Jakey had done
by the time he was y, JLt the hard
work told on his strength, and typhoid
pneumonia took a fatal hold on him,
ending in his death. The funeral was
held from the little dwelling and both
before and after the hoIr there was
a steady stream Of friends and ac-
quaintances, young and old, who went
to pay their last tribute to his mem

Mrs. Russell Sage's philanthropic
program involves something very like
a paradox. She is going to distribute
her millions among the deserving poor,
but she will not give to anybody who
asks for help. How is she going to
discover objects worthy Of her charity!
And is she more likely to bestoW her
money worthily in this fashion than by
receiving and investigating applications
for aid? We are inclined to fear that
Mrs. Sage's system. will soon come to
resemble that of too many charitable
organizations in which it is assumed
that the very fact of a persons applying
for aid is prima facie evidence that
that person is unworthy Of it. 1t has
always been the defect of organized
charity that more stress has been laid
upon the necessity for discouraging the
unworthy than for relieving the worthy.
This will be the danger incurred by
Mrs. Sage's system. We may very well
doubt. indeed, whether Mrs. Sage is
acting wisely in undertaking personally
to distribute the great fortune left by
her late husband. The task is an oner-
Gus one and it is probably an impossible
one. If Mrs. Sage is not merely to give
her money away without discrimina-
ton or investigation-and we have her
assurance to the contrary-she cannot
dispose even of the interest on her for
tune. let alone the principal. Sooner
or later she will have to turn the work
over to others. She might as well do
SO now as later. At any rate, it is GER
tain that the attempt to eliminate APP
plicants for help and to give only 70
those who conceal their necessities is
not likely to prove satisfactory or sue
cessful. The task of searching out mt
objects of charity would he endless and
