MOTION TO APPELLATE BENCH.

Attorney Joseph J. Darlington, whose
name has been mentioned as a probable
candidate to succeed Justice Charles H.
Duell on the bench Of the District Court Of
Appeals. will not enter the lists for the
vacancy. Friends OF Attorney Darlington
say that he would prefer to see a member
Of the District Supreme Court promoted to
the place ON the appellate bench. 1t is un-
derstood that his friends will be asked to
support one Of the members Of the lower
court for the position.
The home rule element of the local bar
Is working quietly in the interest Of Justice
Ashley n. Gould, who holds his commits

Pride Of Ancestry.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Pride of ancestry is matter of slow de-
velopment In democratic America, but its
existence in a measurable degree Is attested
by the devotees of family trees who have
segregated themselves into associations
which get their inspiration from certain
sectional fame of antique origin or Illus
trious performances in which ancestry par
ticipated. Whether it Is so or not In reality
these societies are surrounded with a MINI
bus of exclusiveness and give out the Idea
that the members are specially distinguish
ed because of their descent. The longer
back the date of the occurrence or the con-
dition which is the basis OF it all. the
greater the distinction. Thus we have 1t
that the Daughters of 1872 in the scale OF
social Importance and iIlustriousness Of de-
scent are a little nearer common modern
ity than the Daughters of the Revolution,
while the Sons of the Revolution outrank
the Sons OF Veterans considerably.
There Is the suggestion in this form Of
ancestor worship that the men of the olden
time were generally superior to the mod
erns-physically stronger, mentally more
alert. In courage more undaunted. in re-
sourcefulness more ready We accept this
alluring prescription without question or
cavil most of the time. but on examination
or investigation II We find our Idols shat
tered usually we keep still about It and re-
mind ourselves that 1t Is not good taste to
speak Ill even Of those dead century or

Cured His partner. who was working
within few feet Of him In the vein under
he was severely hurt. His legs were badly
bruised and mashed. so that he was unable
to walk.
He subsequently made his abode In a
small shack and waited on himself, having
to crawl around the cabin. The medical
attention which he received. he says
amounted to little and he seemed to grow
worse. On account of his helpless condi-
ton he was not able to get to any hospital
and waited In the hope that nature would
give him the Improvement necessary.
A few days ago. however, two OF the min
ers determined to come to this city for a
visit and having sympathy for the helpless
man, they agreed to bring him here. He
arrived here this morning and they started
to take him to the Emergency Hospital.
When they reached the corner of 18th street
and Pennsylvania avenue northwest, how
ever, Smith gave out and the wagon of the
first precinct was called and conveyed him
to the institution.
After giving him treatment It was de-
Asylum Hospital. and that will be done

The possession OF land is regarded with
almost superstitious generation by the
peasants of Russia. A parallel of this
feeling is found in the Eastern tale OF
Nasr Eddin Hodga, who met a peasant
one day with donkey. over whose back
hung two sacks, one filled with stones,
the other with wheat, the stones having
been put in to balance the wheat. why
not divide the wheat into two parts in
steadT' suggested Nasr Eddln Hodga.
Delighted with the idea the peasant did
as he was advised, and hung the two
sacks OF wheat over the donkey's back.
And where are your lands. o wise
stranger?" he asked humbly. II have no
lands" answered the other your es-
tates, then, and your palaces?" inquired
the peasant have none" said the other.
Then your houses, your gardens, your
orchards?' persisted the man, amazed.
Il have none Of these" smiled the sage.
What" cried the outraged peasant. DO
you who have no lands and no possessions
presume to give advice to me?" And he
unloaded the donkey. rearranged the
wheat and stones as before, and pro-
ceeded on his way.
