Brooklyn's so-called Spite church
is to be dismantled. Just what use
the tiny piece of ground upon which
the little church nov sits will be put

The little spite church" is at No.

Brooklyns best class of citizens, and
not a few of them will be glad when
the tiny structure is ten down, for it
is a reminder of a trick" that they do
not take particular pride in.
The news that the little church is to
go has revived a discussion that was
rife in the LenoX road district about
five years ago. 1t waXed acrimonious
ly at the time. Sides were taken and
many former friends became enemies.
Though most of the people living
along the road sympathize with the
purposes of the party who had the
church built, they did not sympathize
with the means that were adopted,
and most of them would be glad to for
get it.

on the street did not want one on it.

At this avowal, Danville's suppressed
burst beyond all control.

Give it him back" he cried, in a
voice of fury. you shall take no pres
ents from him; the venom of the house
hold spy soils everything he touches.
Give it him back" She h~esitated. "You
won't?" He tore the book from her
with an oath-threw it on the floor and
set his loot on it.
ooh, Louis, Louis, for Gods sake, re-
member"
Trudaine was stepping forward as
the book fell TO the floor. At the same
momen his sister threw her arms
round him. He stopped, turning from
fiery red to CHASTITY pale.
NO, no, Louis" she said, clasping
him closer. Not after five years
patience. No-non"
He gently detached her arms.
"You are right, love. Don't be afraid;
it's all over now"
Saving that, he put her from him,
and in silence took up the book from
the floor.
Won't that offend you even?" said
Danville, with an insolent smile. you
have a wonderful temporary other
man would have called me out"
Trudaine looked back at him stead

passed it over the soiled cover of the
book.

he continued, turning again to his sis

You will do this! you will do that"
cried Danville, growing more and more
e~Xasperated. and letting his anger get
the better ever of his cunning now.

asked Magloire, with a yawn.
"Only an arrest" replied Lomaque,

went out. "The devil seize the Aristo-

There's no choice now" muttered
Lomaque, angrily thrusting the arrest
order and the three-cornered note into
his pocket. ellis father was the saw

an equal; his sister treated me like a
gentleman, as the phrase went in those
days, and now"
He stopped and wiped his forehead;
then unlocked his desk, produced a bot
tie of brandy, and poured himself out
a glass of liquor, which he drank by
sips. slowly.
II wonder whether other men get
softer hearted as they grow older?" he
said. II seem to do so, at any rate.
Courage! courage! what must be, must.

sounded outside. There's the COACH"
exclaimed Lomaque, locking up the
brandy bottle, and taking his hat.
After all, as this arrest is to be made,
it's as we'll for them that l should
make It,"
Consoling himself as he best could
with this reflection. Chief Police Agent
Lomaque blew out the candles, and
quilted the room.

Surprise OF an English Visitor Who
Thought lie Was Rescuing "A Man.

. lnOuSnJ lie was KeSCulng u Man.
Frank Hyatt, who has long enjoyed
an income of $4,000, derived principally
from his vocation as a booking AGENT
for London Thespians, two weeks ago
landed in the American metropolis for
the purpose, as he said. of seeing what
on earth Mr.. j. A. Bailey could do with
so many men and beasts as he had been
shipping to him. New York and it's
ceaseless rush amazed him. Mr.,
Bailey's winter quarters at Bridgeport
were past his belief, the swiftly moving
Broadway cars, "a lot Of trans pulled
by a string" surprised him, says the
New York World.
His idle moments Eat 'ome" are spent
upon the race-courses of England and
there, in times past, he has met many
of his friends. Recently, at an uptown
Broadway motel, as he glanced out into
the street his kindly blue eyes seemed
to start from their sockets. Rushing
into Broadway he shouted:
Hold on here! Don't start that car!
Here, somebody, call an ambulance!"
Then MIR. Hyatt plunged almost head
foremost under the car and began tug
ging away at a mans legs that were
lying across the rails beneath the center
of the car. AS he did so the legs be-
gan to kick vigorously. The rescuer
felt himself pulled away violently, saw
the brawny fist of the conductor shak-
ing close to his nos and he heard the
angry voice Of the conductor saying:
What do you mean, sir, by trying to
keep that man from fixing the car? Do
you think we want to block Broadway
all day."
Mr.. Hyatt turned toward the hotel
and was greeted by laughter from the
crowd that his cries had attracted.

THE SHORTEST SOLDIER.
How a Young kansan Under the Re.
quired Height Got Into the Army.

s'oN q fOOUS NdtlSdN OnOeF lNG HS-
quired Height Got Into the Army.
Charles l.. Dagan of Keats, Kan, a
young army recruit who enlisted In
Kansas City and left with n squad Of
recruits for Jefferson barracks, near
st. Louis, is probably the shortest SOL
dier in the United States army. His
height is 5 feet 2 inches. He was ac-
copied only on the recommendation OF
President Roosevelt. to whom he wrote
explaining the situation after he had
been rejected on account of his height
at the auxiliary recruiting station at
Topeka early in April.
Dagan had entertained the hope of
becoming a soldier for a number of
years. He is now twenty-five. and,
having no one dependent upon him, he
went to the recruiting station to enter
the service. He passed a rigid exami-
nation save for his height, out the
news that for this reason he could
not become a soldier did not deter him.
He had decided to become one. and
promptly wrote 10 President Roose-
Welt. explaining the situation. He
made an earnest appeal to the chief
executive, and the frank, earnest man
ner In which he couchcd his plea
seemed to strike the president as that
of a man who would make a good
soldier.
This is probably the first instance of
an acceptance OF an application for
enlistment in the army when a dis
crepancy of two inches in the required
height existed. The minimum height,
as stipulated by the war department,
is S feet 4 inches.
Dagnn is of almost perfect build,
weighs 1870 pounds and has a fve-inch
chest expansion. He expressed a de-
sire to enlist in the cavalry and be
sent to the Philippines. At Jefferson
barracks he will be assigned to a regi-
ment of cavalry under orders or pre-
pairing for orders for Philippine serv-
Ice.

PROPER TREATMENT OF BURNS.
The Use of Flour or Oil is stronqIy
Deprecated,

deprecated.
In cases of burns death may be due
first to asrhyX,a; secondly, to shock,
and, thirdly, to ~septicaemia, a y the
London Hospital.
The medical nan seldom gets to the
case in time to treat the first condi-
ton; the second is essentially a gen
eral condition, while the whole sue
cess in preventing the third depends
upon the immediate local treatment.
1t is therefore the last condition which
must be considered here. Among the
public it is a generally accepted idea
that the thing to do in the case of a
burn is to dust -four over =. or to cover
it with oil. and, indeed, even in some
comparatively late text books on sur
gerry a mixture known as "Carron oil"
is advocated.
The use Of such applications can
not be too strongly deprecated. and.
indeed, if the lay mind could be taught
that the best thing to put on a burn
before the doctor is called is a hot
compress which should contain some
boracic acid, if there is any in the
house, 1T is probable that the majority
Of deaths due to septicaemia after
burns would be prevented.
For. the whole aim and object of
the local treatment is to prevent
sepsis; flour and olive oil may be
soothing and may allay the pain, but
there is no %antiseptic property in
them; rather they are excellent cul.
ture media for bacteria.

was an instant's pause Of silence; and
through it there came heavily on the

WIFE WANTS DIVORCE ON
STINGINESs OF HUSBAND
Mrs. Anna Schnitz Says Her
Helpmeet Begrudged Kin
Enough to Eat

When the head of a family becomes
so stingy that he objects to having a
layer of ham put between the slices of
bread that form his children's lunch
at school 1t is time to do something.
That is what Mrs. Anna Schmitz be-
lieVes, that is what she accuses her
husband. Peter Schmitz, of. and that is
why she has sued him for a divorce.
The stinginess described by Mrs.
Schmitz had progressed to such a
stage. she claims, that 1t developed
into q degree of cruelty which she
could no longer tolerate. In addition
to the incident of the ham. which she
relates in her complaint for divorce fled
yesterday, she tells of an occasion on
which her husband took cents from
her when he learned that she intended
to put ii in a church collection. She
says that when her infant child died
her husband refused to pay more than
IS on the undertaker's bill of SIS. and
that he paid that only because it was
necessary to do so in advance to insure
the burial. She waited three months
and then paid the remaining SO from
money which she earned herself.
Mrs. Schmitz declares that her hus-
band earns $3.50 a day. but that he
allowed her only SO week with which
to meet all household expenses and
provide clothing for herself and their
three children.
