A Comparison.
RECENTLY we were shown New York paper
published Immediately after the civil war In COM
pairing said paper with those of today one instantly
realizes the dssimilarity between the two. Crime,
at that period, must have been unknown, else ed
itors had loftier idea of the purpose of newspaper
than prevails today In this particular paper we
looked in vain for screaming headlines pertaining
to murders, holdups divorces kidnappers, municipal
corruption sensational court trials derect preachers,
bribery cases, etc. No doubt such things occurred,
but it is evident that this class of was consid
cred of no importance.
The first page of this old periodical was devoted
to news of national interest In fact, the delibera-
tons Of Congress printed in FULL something
that is seldom done nowadays, unless the proceedings
assumed sensational turn. The remainder OF the
paper is devoted to state such as speeches by
prominent public officials; contemplated improve
mens of the streets, parks, public buildings etc.
market reports, both local and foreign; and news
pertaining lodges churches, benevolent organiza-
TONS etc. Undoubtedly such paper would meet
the wishes of many persons today, but the majority
have been educated up to the present standard of
gnashing teeth and hoil 'em alive" theory that
it would be impossible to console them with anything
else.
ACCORDING TO the cOHt0HCS OIL SOme PdPcIs OAo
would imagine that the only industry worthy OF de-
tailed MENTION was that of crime. There is nothing
too revolving but what it be found on the front
page often accompanied by the pictures of the prin
cipals. It was not always SO. Some claim that the
printing of criminal is excellent warning to
the community, for it informs them what they may
expect if they do wrong This view OF the question
may be correct but is not strange that they never
thought Of this phase of the argument years ago!
If they had what effect would it have had on the
criminal population of today? If the theory is cor
rect there should be decrease in certain classes Of
crime. But it seems that the more publicity crime
receives the more 1t increases

Dece5Uing Self. q
THERE is an old saying that he who. practices
deception will always be found out We honestly
believe that this}is true for have known who
have deceived themselves and deceived others, but
they were always found out. Perhaps their undoing
was the result of deceving themselves; still their
crows come home to roost just the same. Today we
find coterie of 6nanciers in Wall Street who are
trying to deceive themselves into the belief that the
president is responsible for the present lack of sta
bility in the stock market. But the truth of the
matter u.s. these nervous gentlemen alone to blame
for the general stagnation in securities
The same is true in any walk Of life. No man
can expect to SOW wild oats continually and reap q
crop of concord grapes. The man who is always
reaching for the best of thing without making
just recompensation, is going to get tine big stick
sooner or later. Justice, altho pictured us being
blind manages to get the bandages off just in time
to even the score. The man who thinks that the
contrary is the case, is only deceiving himself
"Bobbie' Burns sums up the situation very truly

Which is Correct?

Which is Correct?
The Inconsistency of authorities on grammar is
so we'll known that it often occasions much comment.
Mr.. Horace Teall, who writes the "Proofroom' in
the Inland Printer, says that the sentence, "None Of
the passengers injured" is correct, giving
his that it as we'll established any lido
matte expression in the language and that objection
to it is utterly futile. The editor of Correct English
emphaticay disagrees with the foregoing authority
by saying that the sentence is incorrect for neither
usage colloquialism sanctions its She says
that and is the correct form, because
the word "none'' is singular, meaning mot one
of the passengers was I'M ured"
While the word "were'' is often used in such
phrases, both in conversation and in writing, the
opinion is that it is incorrectly used. If
the learned writer's of text books cannot agree on
such simple constructions, it is difficult problem to
understand how is going to BE- proficient in the
use of English. Will some of the teachers of our
night school take up this subject and explain such
inconsistencies?

The MUzu-Sided President.

The Many Sided President
NEVER in the history Of the American republic
has the presidential chair been occupied by such
many sided man is to be observed in the present
incumbent. Whatever else may be said OF Theodore
Roosevelt, he cannot be accused of being near
aristocrat-one whose superior dignity is incompat
IDLE with things not pertaining to statecraft. Only
recently this exalted chief executive invited the Jap
anese ambassador to bring with him to the White
House famous Japanese wrestler for the purpose of
witnessing his skill. His expressions of delight
were charming to the average American citizen,
atho they may have shocked the cultured sensibii-
ties of the ultra sticklers for good manners.
It is this many-sidedness of the president which
has made him so popular with the masses. No other
president, perhaps with the exception of Lincoln,
has showed such remarkable spirit Of true denoc-
cy. He is impnleive to fault bit this is forgot

CHAPTER XIII.

vOR a long time Cherry Malotte
sat quietly thinking. removed
by her mental stress to such an
4 infinite distance from the music
and turmoil beneath that she was con-
scious of it only as a formless clamor.
She had tipped chair back against
the door, wedging it beneath the knob
so that she might be saved from inter-
ruption, then flung herself into an
other seat and stared unseeingly. As
she sat thus and thought and schemed
harsh and hateful lines seemed to eat
into her face Now and then she
moaned impatiently, as though fearing
lest the strategy she was plotting
might prove futile; then she would
rise and pace her narrow quarters.
She was unconscious of time and had
spent perhaps two hours thus when
amid the buzz of talk in the next
compartment she heard name which
caused her to start, listen, then drop
her preoccupation like mantle. A
man was speaking Of Glenister Ex-
element thrilled his voice.

"Well, perhaps So" the other replied

"Then lend me the money. I'll pay

.I'II stake you to fifty" the second
man replied, in tone that showed
trace of his companions excitement.
So Glenister was gambling, the girl
learned, and with such luck as to break
the black Jack game and excite the
greed of every gambler In camp. News
of his winnings had gone out into the
street, and the sporting men were COM
ing to share his fortune, to fatten Ike

WHEN RUDE BROKE
INTO FOOTBALL

Did you ever hear how Rubo
Waddell broke into football?" said
one of his Philadelphia teammates.
1T was before RUDE was famous
over the circuit, but his pitching
arm had already brought him re-
nown in the rural districts.
During the winter Rube found
time hung pretty slow on his hands,
especially as there was no fishing
An adjacent town got stung with
the football fever, some of the
young men in the place having
been inOculated at college. An
eleven was soon practicing and in
casting about for material someone
suggested RUDE.
He fell in with the idea. It was
fun as long as there was nothing to
1t but practice. The first and only
game that RUDE played with the
team was against a husky bunch
from some Kentucky town along
the Ohio river. They were all big
fellows and looked like log rollers.
When Rube got in front of one
OF their rushes he was knocked
down, trampel upon and biffed
about in the way that all football
fans are familiar with. But it was
new thing to Rube. He got up
with blood in his eye 1t took the
officials and most of the crowd to
keep him from trying to kill some
of the Kentuckians.
That ended Rube's football ca
reer right then and there. 1t was
no use to try to argue with him. He
said he was not going to play
where fellow got licked and could
not hit back He got out of his
uniform and to this day football is
a tender subject with him"

Heney and Burns were hidden

passed.
The two supervisors and the
rink manager talked the matter
over, and just as it came to the
paying of the money Lopergan be-
came suspicious.
"Who have you behind those cur
tains?" he asked.
There was no time for a reply.
Heney and Burns walked into
view.
Arrest this man." declared Lon
ergan. HE is trying to bride a
supervisor"
The bluff did not go.
With this lever Burns and
Heney got a full confession out of
Lonergan and another step had
been effected to the uncovering of
San Francisco grafters.
