REV. LEONARD W. SNYDER GIVES
ADDRESS 70 STUDENTS.
INDIVIDUALITY COUNTS
Tells Boys and Girls to Take Advan-
tase Of Their opportunlties.-To
Choose High Ideals and Learn to
Respect Themselves.
Wednesdays Daily.

- @~seV >. EHH.HI ZNHE-I
Yesterday Rev. Leonard w. Snyder
addressed the students at the high
school on Individuality" The stu
dents listened very attentively to what
the speaker said. In his address Rev.
Snyder said that they all had to climb
the ladder Of opportunity and it was
the man or woman that made the most
Of his or her opportunities that reach
ed the top. He urged them to choose
high ideals, to exercise principles Of
self control and self respect. In the
course Of his address the minister
said: <
individuality Counts.
Success depends upon our own ef-
forts; to attain our ideals we must
constantly steer u thoughts In the
right direction. We must be able to
say yes and no at the right time, and
we must have power OF mind to exer-
else our own individuality. 4

among the fruits Of the earth is In

with a n%ever-ending variety. Each bit
Of his handiwork has Its own peculiar

to and know that you cannot duplicate
that leaf in all the f;rests a. the

alike. No two kernels Of corn on the
cob, no two apples on the tree, no
two potatoes in the ground, Of all Staa
strawberries you have eaten this
spring or before, no two are alike,
either in size or in flavor. Drops Of
water are Of all sizes, SO are the
grains Of sand on the seashore, and
the pieces of coal in the coal bin. No
two summers or winters are alike
They differ in the proportion Of rain
and sunshine, Of heat and cold. Nc
two days are like, II they are fair one
is fairer than the other, and II they
are cloudy one is cloudier than the
other.

IAN Apology for Graft"

In another remarkable article for
the June American Magazine Lincoln
Steifens deals with the threadbare
subject of graft apologetcally. Tax
ing the San Francisco bribery cases
as his text, he shows how the grafters
high and low are the victims of a
vicious circle of holdups. He says
1--WE Americans have been out on a
man hunt" and are trying mobilize
to catch some victim on whom to vent
our rage and hate. He has come to
"hate this hate and this hunt" He
says he has bayed his bay and is sick
of it, having seen that il he followed
the human trail he was on far enough
he would have caught himself. He
confesses that he contributed to the
guilt of the most intelligent rascal in
the United States.'
In every case he finds that men
would like to keep straight, but when
it is only a choice Of giving up their
particular game of business, or of
fighting, they instinctively fight. The
mistake of the criminal rich is in
assuming "that the success of their
particular business is more important
than the success of our great expert
ment in democracy. Stefens con-
cludes that the American political
prayer should be "deliver us from
temptation, and that all sincere
men are coming to see that govern
too great for human nature to resist. I"
They are realizing that we have to
deal with things rather than with
men, and that it is conditions that
makes men bad.

Weddings and Broken Teeth.

after every big east side wedding
the dentists of the quarter reap har-
vest" said dental surgeon. 1T is
the broken teeth that keep us busy. |
do not mean that the guests raise a
row and knock out one another's teeth.
Oh. no; it's the wedding cake that does
the mischief. Over here bakers mix
into wedding cakes every kind Of a
charm from coins and tiny china dolls
to plain tin tags. In the course of the
festivities many a luckless guest is
bound to crack a tooth on that indi-
gestible part Of the wedding feast. At
various times the wedding cake vic
tins have talked of getting up petit
ton imploring the bakers to omit all
gritty ingredients, but up to date the
swapping OF teeth goes merriy on

How Our Army Is Formed.

The average citizen, it is safe to
say, has very hazy idea concerning
the size and constitution of the
United States Army. A writer in
Harper's Weekly gives some interest
ing facts bearing upon this matter.
The government dreams of an army
mum boring 10, 900 men. The present
strength is $1,000. OF the theoretical
70, 600 soldiers the fifteen regiments
of cavalry, which never lack their
full complement, comprise nearly
IA, 900 officers and men; the six regl-
ments of field artillery, $500; the
coast artillery corps close upon 20,
600; the thirty regiments of infantry,
~, 600; the engineers, 1000, and the
remainder consist of the staff corps,
indian scouts, and small mum Der of
native soldiers in Porto Rico and the
Philippines. The total mum Der of
commissioned officers amounts ia
about 1900.

Hook Swinging In Bengal.

The people Of Gangutia, in Bengal.
have or used to have barbarous prac-
tice called hook swinging. They deck
themselves out with garlands and then
assemble together to undergo the most
horrible torture. A wire about quar-
ter of an inch in diameter and seven
feet long is pierced through the tongue.
and then the wretched being will dance
for over half an hour with the wire
still hanging through the tongue.
Some of them form themselves into q
row and are then sewed together by a
wire needle threaded with cord. They
are sewed by the arms and look like
behring's on wire when ready for the
hook. 1t is thought that the victims
are drugged considerably beforehand
owing to the sullen, dazed expression
they wear throughout. but sometimes
one or two faint and are with great
difficulty brought round again.

THE POLITE FRENCHMAM.
He viii Say "Pardon," but Will Crowd
You off the Pavement.


Among the myths about the Parisians
that have been fastened on the world
at large is the notion that they are the
politest people we have. That is Il
good old one. but when you come TO
anayze it its mythical qualities soon
show. The Parisians are conversation
ally polite. They are the greatest art
lists at the deferential phrase and the
obsequious bow.
Actually the Partisan is not polite.
He is not even passably polite. He is
discourteous and disagreeabe. He
walks along the streets as if he owned
them and refuses to turn out, no mat
ter what the circumstances are. He
bumps into passersby who are used
TO the ordinary street courtesy. swoops
upon the best seats in the public con-
veyances, will not bulge an inch when
your theater seats are beyond him,
crowds you in the restaurants and
cafes, ogles every woman he meets and
is generally offensive. To be sure, If
he sees a chance to get anything away
from you or to advance his own inter-
est at your expense he says Pardon"
and does what he has in mind. His
politeness consists of that one word.
"Pardon" So far as his language goes,
he is courteous. But it is all conversa-
tion.-Samuel r. Blythe in Everybody s
Magazine

What are known as grub stake"
contracts do not come within the
statute of frauds and do not require
written contracts to make them bind
ing. Contracts of this nature come
rather under che head of what are
known as QUALIFIED partnership"
and are arranged upon terms mutual
~ understood party agreeing to
furnish tools, provisions, supplies,
etc, the other party agreeing to in
dustriously search for mineral,
which, if discovered belongs to both
parties of the contract in such pro-
portion as was originally agreed upon.
If the contract contemplates the de-
velopment and operation of any
mineral deposit that may be dis
covered, then the contract becomes a
partnership. lie this agreement be
not made prior to the discovery OF
the mine,' then neither partner to
the "grubstake" agreement can be
compelled to join the other in de-
velopment and equipment OF the pro-
perty. They become simply tenants
in common, neither party having the
right to bind the interest of the
other. Mi lining Review.
