Mans Measure in New Unit.
In the life of Il baby, a child, and
a young man in college," continued
Mr.. Abbott, I'VE recognize that things
are made for the baby. child. and col
legian, but when II young man lts es
college and enters business the whole
order is reversed, and the American
people accept it as truth that the man
was made for things and that the
measure of a man is the amount OF
money he can make.
What Il curious phenomenon this is,
but that it is true of many people no
one can doubt. III we as a people are
to accept it as true, let us change the
stars in our flag 10 dollar marks, and
the motto from In God We Trust" to
BE successful honest If you can, but
be successful"
Money Badge of Character?
rs money always the badge of char
acter?" asked DR. Abbott II recently
was talking with Il noted lawyer in
New York. who told me that for the
large number of wrong and immoral
methods of business practiced in New
York to large extent there was no pun
ishment in the statutes. The law was
codified years ago. and since then both
law and crime have increased, but
crime has outstripped the law.
Can it be said that money is the
badge of ability to discern between dis
honesty that is legal and that is illegal,
and that it is the sign of character"

WOULD TAKE RICHES FROM ALL
College Man Has Unique Plan to
Make New Generations Work.

Schenectady, N. Y, Feb. 23.-Pro-
fessor John L. March Of Union College
has a plan to make the sons of mill
lionaires work. The suggested plan
is this: "The homestead shall be in
heritable as at present. ALI the other
property in lands and the like shall be
sold at public auction as soon, as pos
sible after the death of the owner, the
proceeds with the cash possessions
above certain small sums. to go to the
state.
I'm order, however, that no hardship
may come of this arrangement, the
widow, the dependent male children,
the female children and any incapables
shall receive from the state an annuity
which shall be certain per cent of the
income that had been received from
the property sold, together with the
interest on the cash taken. This annAE
ity to expire at the marriage Of the
widow or daughters, and with the COM
pletion of the reasonable education OF
the sons.
"By this plan each generation would
stand on it's own feet, and not be
bound and sl1aclzled by preceding gen.
erations as at present. AT the same
time we should avoid pauperism and
hardship. We should have our present
business conditions; we should have
avoided the wild experiment of social
ism and the still wilder one of revo-
lution-We should really have the fair
deal.

FIFTY CHILDREN HURT IN PANIC
Victims of Scare Over Moving Picture
Machine at Alton, Ill.

Alton, ILL.,, Feb 26.-F'our hundred
children who We're being entertained
Sunday afternoon with moving pic
ture shov in ST. Mary's school hall,
were thrown into panic by the acci-
dental ignition of a roll of celluloid
films from spark dropped from the
calcium light of the machine. Fifty
children were slightly hurt. Prompt
action to protect the children averted
serious injuries.
John Scherrer Of Chicago, who gives
exhibitions of views of the Passion
Play of Oberammergau, was in charge
at the time. He did not see the fire
in the film roll until some one scream
ed Fire and in an instant the whole
assembly Of children was in panic.
Scherrer seized the box of films and,
slamming the lid shut, he started 20
run out of the hall, but could not get
out because of the jam of children at
the three exists.
Jam at Stairway.
The children were pupils of the Ca
thedral Orphanage, the Ursuline con-
vent and st. Mary's school, and were
in the charge of about twenty-five
members Of various Roman Catholic
sisterhoods. The sisters tried to stop
the panic, but were helpless for time.
A steep stairway at the south end of
the hall toward which they rushed be-
came crowded with children, who fell
down the steps.
At the back of the hall was an exit
and the children who made rush
there could not get out because the
door was locked. A beer key was huri-
ed at it and the door was broken open.
Children tried to leap from the sec
ond story windows of the building and
were pulled back by the sisters who
had them in charge. Mrs. G. Tap
horn broke some of the windows in or
der to let her children out. In a few
minutes the dense smoke cleared and
the children were taken out of the hall.
Parents took the injured home to dress
their bruises.

EAT MORE, GROW TALLER.
Baron TakaIsi Says Changing Diet Will
Increase Stature.

| Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 24-"The Jap
anese are small in stature because for
centuries they have been eating the
wrong kind of food. This has partially
been changed and l am confident that
by proper diet l can make my COM
| patriots taller" This was the dictum
of Baron Takald of Japan in lee :
ture delivered at the University of
Pennsylvania yesterday.
The baron quoted statistics from the
men of the Japanese army and navy
to prove that by giving them a proper
diet he has brought them nearer the
standard Of weight of the men of the
English and American navy.
DIR. Takaki, who has made 1t his life
work to find the method by which the
size of Japanese race can be made
normal, said in part within few
generations 1 am sure that the Japa-
nese race will be of normal size. 1t
is one of the greatest humiliations of
our life that we were so small, The
Caucasian race is normal in size and
that is what we want to be- That is
what we will be within short time IL
the people of my race follow my df-
rections.
Says Japs Must Change Food.
"Other nations have had proper food
and they are normal in height. The
Japanese will follow the example of
the Englishman and the American.
II made a test on our men of the
navy 1 found that they did not have
enough food and did not have the right
kind of food. / fed the men on the
ships the same rations as that given
in the American navy. What was the
result? Within year the men seemed
to expand and grow taller. After
three years of proper feeding the men
are now much nearer the standard of
the men Of the American navy and
army.
1--WE can look forward to the time
when we shall be equal in size to the
average race. The emperor has prom
Used to join hands and help the work
along. The thing is past the expert
mental stage. 1t is now certain that
the race can become as the average
race"

Gently recovered locket she lost while

Miss Silliman, with party Of friends,

night, so the piece Of jewelry was given
up as lost.
After the iceman had made his Gus

other morning Miss Silliman went to

piece Of ice which she was about to
place in pitcher when she saw q

Braide, who had been picking handily
at his medicine case, suddenly opened
the door and ran out.

comes in" he called jovially, and
thrust folded handkerchief beneath
Munro's nostrils. Let him breathe,
Raymond, he said quietly. It'll do
him good"
Munro's knotted muscles almost IN

his head turned quietly to one side,
and his face became as peaceful as a
sleeping child.

her presence.

"If you see him, just tell him we need

"I'll do so gladly"

withdrew, and they soon heard him
gallop swiftly away. and all became
silent.
At AIMS insistent request Braide
went back to his couch, and she was
again alone, waiting for Raymond's
return.
The situation in the great drama
was now quite clear to her mental
vision. She could see the small army
waiting below, foolishly eager for the
coming Of the dawn, and it was not

cuRzoN POLICY FOLLOWED.
New Secretary Of State for India In
terferes in Thorny Dispute.

London, Feb. 26.-John Morley'S first
official act as secretary OF state for
India has been to intervene in the
Thorny dispute, which led to the resig-
nation of Lord CurZon of Kedleston,
the former viceroy. His decision, as
indicated by dispatches just published,
is strongly in favor of upholding the
supremacy of the civil government in
Indian military matters, which con-
firms the view taken by Lord Curzon
as against General Lord Kitchener.
In amending the proposal of the
present viceroy, the earl of Mimic, as
inspired by the late government, Mr..
Morley takes the line of least resistance
and his decision is approved by most
of the London morning newspapers.
The Daily Telegraph however doubts
whether this arrangement will compose
a controversy and problem admittedly
of great difficulty and considers that
Lord Kitchener ought to be para
mount.
