A KING AMONG MEN.

In these days when the bad in the
world finds so much publicity that the
people almost forget that good exists
and that the sun shines, it is refresh
ing to read about Duke Carl Theodore
of Bavaria.
He isn't much to look at.
No medals cover his breast He has
not led an army on to victory. And as
FOR scandal. with which every court in
Europe reeks-Duke Carl Theodore is
e gentleman.
He has been famous for many years
and has just performed his five thou
sandth successful optical operation.
In Munich he has expended $780,
900 in building and maintaining hos
pitfalls. He asks no fee from patients
of any class and the poor are his
special care. His wife, who was the
Princess Maria of Portugal. aids him
in his work. s;,.,5 w..
You cannot estimate what such
man means to the world There is no
standard by which to measure. He
could pursue pleasure. He can live
in an atmosphere of luxury; speed in
flying automobiles; ride in special
trains; travel in floating palaces. =,
Bu9 because of the wonderful i'm
Iulse for good that abides in his
breast: because of the divine desire
to be of use to his kind. he has worked
and made his efforts to count.

A WORK OF PROGRESS.

The educational facilities of state
are measured by the people who ad-
minister its school affairs.
In this particular it is pleasing to
note that at the recent national edu-.
cational meeting at Louisville North
Dakota made showing of which any
state might be proud. In fact, this
state was far in advance of any other
even those states which boast of
their educational systems.
There were seventy county SUPER
intendents present at the meeting and
twenty-one, or almost third of them,
were from North Dakota.
The reason for this lies deeper than
the surface. With all the yellow
journalism about corruption in state
and county politics, and the cry of
the political bowling dervishes for
reform, the men who have been
charged with the administration of the
educational affairs of the state are
thoroughly competent to do so.
Men holding the position of county
superintendent in this state are head
and shoulders above those filling SINH
lar positions in nearly every other
state. They are interested in their
work and in the advancement of the
schools. Twenty-one of them were
willing to travel nearly two thousand
miles to attend a meeting at which
they might hope to secure new ideas
for the improvement of their work.
The other states sent an average of
G little more than one each.
Education should be the substance,
not the shadow, and the showing made
by the county superintendent at
Louisville, while rejecting the high
est credit on the state, goes deeper
than this. 1t shows, in contrast with
other states, that those in charge of
our educational institutions, especial
ly those of an elementary character,
are enthusiastically Jealous in the
promotion of their work. And as the
lesults to be derived from the edu-
cational system of state are depend
ent almost entirely upon the zeal of
those charged with it's administration,
the advanced position of the state in
matters educational was proclaimed
in thunder tones at the meeting of
the nations educators at Louisville.

STORIES OF THE HOUR
Killed With Kindness.

They were discussing the horrors
that attended on the hanging of Mary
Rogers.
But she suffered little" said a
physician: Every murderer who goes
TO the gallows or the electric chair
is drugged to the point almost Of I'M
consciousness. Otherwise the death
sentence, unendurably hideous, would
be abolished"
No man, alone in a cell with the
knowledge that on certain day, at
certain hour, he is to be killed., can
Keep his nerve.
HE stops eating, he stops sleeping,
in little while he begins to Shrek.
"Then the drugging begins. With
opium or with alcohol he is lulled into
torpor. On the day Of his death he
