Within the last year this country
has been in touch with more popular
clamor against graft and its myriad
kindred evils than ever before with
In the recollections of the citizen.
The philosophy of "the square deal"
has been preached and quoted, until,
as in the emotional popularity OF
the Simple llfe," good deal of the
detail of the square deal" has been
overlooked.
In the practice OF the square dea!
no degree of passive or negative
squareness can suffice in full meas
ure. In either of these positions
under many circumstances Il would
be hard for the best Judge of human
nature to make intelligent guess
whether the disciple OF the square
deal We're honest or dishonest. In
thousands of individual circum-
stances an active agressiveness in the
operation of the square deal is i'm
peratiye II the disciple of the meas
ure Is not to demonstrate his coward
ice and hypocrisy.
Not long ago | had letter from
an old friend whom have grappleG
often In argument. Apropos OF n
subject on which we had correspon.
dence, he was inclined to charge me
with too much interest In the affairs
iot my fellow men In crowded city
streets and public places. As an ex-
ample OF my wrong attitude. as he
saw II, he recounted an experience in
street ear. He put the situation
forcemlly.
"A man whom know was in a
street car yesterday and saw fel-
low trying TO pick another mans
pocket. Did he interfere? Not on
your lite' II might have meant a
stay In jail as a necessary witness in
case OF arrest; while ut the best II
would have meant the loss OF "A day
or two In court to the neglect of his
buslness!"
Yet my friend writing this a. an
apostle OF the square deal. How he
maintains his position In his own
mind while eoinciding with his other
friends point OF view in this case Is
more than | can see.
Provided this attempt OF the nick.
pocket was successful some person
lost his poeketbook by theft. II my

proceeding the crime would not have
been committed aud perhaps a erin.
ipai would have been put out OF The
temptation To other offenses. The
lohjeet lesson OF the arrest indoed
would have served its purpose
against like crimes in others.

square deal no sat passive. looking
ON and without word. He had de.
eidod that il was none OF his husi.

II IS nerve energy that runs

nerve force is sent out through

have plenty Of nerve force; II
YOU have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe,,

the penalty.

who Were the Next Of Kin,

A curious case was tried in England
about a century & to decide the ques-
ton of next Of kin. Job Taylor, quar-
termaster in the Royal artillery, was
drowned, with his wife Lucy, in try
ing to save her after shlpwreck. He
had made a will leaving all that he
possessed to her, but as she did not
live to give the will effect a dispute
arose among their next of kin as to the
proper disposal of the estate, which
was valued at $4,000. u
1t had been ruled, in conformity
with a principle of the Roman c.
law, that when two persisted togegS
in a common calamity and it was in.
certain which was for u time Bur.
vivor the decision should favor which
V G was the more robust. In this case
the wife had distinctly the better con-
stitution. but as against this 1T was
urged that. as he plunged In to save
her, she probably expired first. After
lengthy arguments the judge held that,
though strong in constitution, the wife
would probably have been more timid
than her soldier husband and granted
administration to his next Of kin.

Olmstead stood on the uneve plat

up and down the platform smoky kero-

the target lamps Of the switches show
cd feeble colorings of red and green.
The lights on the local disappeared
around a curve, and Olmstead swung
about to survey the barren little sta

did so, for the night wind had a chill
breath Of frost in it.
Drawn up by the station was a sorry

the scrofulous pig may we'll substitute
a lump of butter. Measure out a quart
of white pea beans. Put them to soak

ter. The orthodox dish to bake them

ware. with a handle and cover. In the
morning drain them and rinse them
thoroughly in clear cold water. Then
put them back in the pipkin in which
they have been soaking, add a table
spoonful of salt, an even tablespoonful
of molasses and a %teaspoonful of mus
tard. Stir all thoroughly around in the
pot. Put a heaping tablespoonful of
butter down the center of the beans.
Cover them with cold water, sc that 1t
rises two inches above them. Put them
n a hot oven at 9 O'Clock in the morn
ing and let them cook steadily till 5
in the afternoon, renewing the water
as often as 1t boils off them. Let them
brown down in the pot the last hour,
and they will be done at 6 o'clock

a grave frankness that pleased MIN

nightly.
They read together; they walked to-
gether; they sang together evenings In
the so called music room" Day by
day Olmstead grew more interested In
her, and finally the interest changed
into something deeper.
He stayed out his first week and his
second. At the beginning of the third
he realized that, consulnptive though
she might be, he had found the one wo-
man in the world.
One evening just twilight they
strollel down to a Little stream that
crossed the grounds. The air was clear
and frosty. Behind a fringe of pines
the sky f1ared red and gold.
"Of course you know it by this time,"
said Olmstead quietly.
"What?" she asked.
THAT l love you," said he.
She caught her breath. Her face
grew very rosy. She turned to him
slowly.
Our condition. she began.
Let me tell you something" he said.
II am not a tuberculosis patient. Ger
tain unsavory hints regarding the gross
acknowledgement of this place have
been whispered abroad. l was sent
here by the Daily Star to Investigates"
She looked across the stream to the
pines and the flaming sky behind them.
THAT clears yor, but how about
me?" she asked very quietly.
II love you," he repeated simply,
"and to love nothing matters"
Not eve my-my being hereY' she
said.
Not even your being here" he as
serted.
Suddenly she fell to laughing softly.
Her eyes danced; she fairly shook with
merriment. He watched her in puzzled
silence. Presently she came close to
him and laid both her hands on his
shoulders.
Forgive me-" she said, but it is
such an absurd situation. Do you
know why am here?'
He shook his head.
WELL she said, those unsavory
hints reached further than the Star.
The e'1itor of Elliot's Magazine sent me
here on Il mission very similar to
yours"
The color had faded from the sky.
The wind grew almost biting in its
chill. \ group of shivering patients in
IL of the pavilions saw a much en-
crossed couple walking toward the san
itarium.
(Which goes to show we have dis

American Hotel Life.

At heart Americans still enjoy hotel
life immensely, in spite Of much re-
proof from foreigners who consider 1t
in bad form. The American has not
really acquired the country house habit,
although he is trying to do so. 1t does
not as yet satisfy his longing for a
constant change of scene and entire in
dependence. Hotel life, condemned as
1t is by the finely discriminating as un-
homelike, Haunting and too public, still
appeals to the average American as a
very diverting interlude to domestic ex-
cluslveness. They even prefer 1t in
reality to entertaining or being enter
