Auspitz's private hospital last Novem-
Der. DR., Auspitz, she declared, visited
her room in the hospital and assaulted
her. q
II had no friends and no money"
said Miss Koten. Il procured a lawyer
and had DIR, Auspitz brought before
the Court of General Sessions. My wit
nesses were discredited, and everything
went his way. After he was acquitted
I was advised to go to the district at

MEN ARE BAD, NOT

TELLS PRINCETON
Wrong Conceived in Individual
Heart, MOI in Boards and
Committees.
MORALITY NOT A QUESTION
OF THE COMPLEX MASS
University's Head Says Each
Man Must Lift Himself
Out Of Conditions.

PRINCETON, June S.-The difficulty
of %solvins moral questions in the COM
posite life of today was discussed by
President Woodrow Wilson in his bac-
calaureate address to the graduating
class of Princeton University. The
fundamental moral problem, he de-
clared, was to separate the individual
from the mass, ito lift him from the
confusion of unions, corporations and
leagues to a point where he may look
beyond the things of the day to the
things that abide"
1.-THE tendency to be practical will
not conquer the tendency to be moral
said DIR. Wilson yesterday. 1.-THE great
awakening we have just bad to the
moral aspects of so much of moderr
business is but the beginning of change
The moralist will dictate both to the
lawyer and to the man of business"
DIR. Wilson's ext was Let no mar
deceive you; he that doeth righteous
ness Is righteous, even as he Is right
eous.' Continuing he said in part:
Morality is of necessity Individual
not corporate. Men are bad, not socie
ties. Wrong Is conceived in the In
dividual heart. not in boards and com
mittees, and those who participate stail
themselves with the same iniquity witt
which the author and originator of TIL
wrong Is blackened.
THE individual conscience has neve
in any age been successfully digeste'
into the mass. 1t Is insusceptible o
absorption 1t win reassert itself am
the system will undergo radical trans
formation. a transformation as com
plete as ma be necessary in order t
release the individual and give him hi
liberty again.

HORSES ILLUSIONS.

A COACHMAN who for many years
"a had been in charge of a large
stable of valuable carriage
horses gave the writer some curious
instances of the w illusions of
horses. Only once did he find a whole
stable in anything like permanent fear.
He had taken ten carriage horses to
a large house in Norfolk, where they
stood in a line In a en-stalled stable.
There was a tame monkey in the
stable, very quiet, which slept I'M
chained, sitting on one of the divisions
of the stalls. On the first night. about
IL O'clock. he heard a disturbance in
the stable, the horses stamping and
kicking, and very uneasy. He got a
light, entered the stable, and found
them all in great terror. Nothing that
could disturb them was there except
the monkey, apparently asleep on it's
perch.
He quoted the horses, locked the
door, and went away. Soon the dis
turbance began again, and this time,
slipping quietly up, he drew a pair of
steps to one of the windows, and as
the moon was shining bright. had a
view of the interior. The monkey was
the source Of terror. It was amusing
itself by a steeplechase along the
whole length of the stable, leaping al
ternately from the division of the stall
to a horses back or head, then off on
to the next rail, and so. on. The horses
We're trembling with fright. though
many of them had not the least OBJ
jections to a cat or a pigeon sitting on
their backs. Yet the monkey had not
hurt any of them. and their panic was
clearly the result of Illusion.

THEIR DEGREES OF HAPPINESS.
Marital Relations of Rural Postmas-
tiers Not All Serene.

The chief clerk of the post Office de-
partment at Washington recently sent
to all the postmasters in the country
list of questions asking for certain
information, says the New York Sun,
to be used in the preparation of the
government Blue Book. One of the
questions in the list was, What are
your marital relations?"
The object of this particular ques-
ton was to find out whether the post
masters are married, single, widowed
or divorced. But some of the rural
postmasters did not understand, and
many answers were received in which
the persons addressed endeavored to
give a clear and lucid explanation OF
the status of their married life. One
postmaster briefly stated that his do
nestle affairs were Fine and dandy
Another, not so fortunate, replied:
Fairly middling," while a third filled
