h1 HERE are so many different kinds of herones In the hrst place,
what is the meaning of the word to you? Many women believe
u themselves hrGnes when they do their duty grudgingly for their
otherst think they are herones when they provide or their OWL.
Can this be called heroism?
1t would seem that to be heroic in any sense, We must do something
than would be called a duty or a natural inclination. 1t is a simple
tt care for or verge W and those who oe n respect Is. When
we are bearing idfcule, criticism AM making sacrifices for those no DO lot
appreciate n realize what we are giving them W e are heroic When we
suffer bravely then we are heroes.
There are women in every home today who are heroines because they
are striving 20 give of themselves and feel that even if they receive only
abuse they are doing right
4 would not care to make a very great sacrifice, Tor it is never appreciated,
and you usually get into trouble over it and suffer more than when you look
ut for yourselves" said a woman the other day. There is a recompense TO
that noble soul who makes a sacrifice that the wordc could never give and
it comes from the highest source No material gain could begin to make N
SC happy as the knowledge he had done something to help another upward
look for worldly opinion. and Ire happier when they are unobserved and un-
recognized.
The principle is the foundation for the hero. He must possess this great
force of character to carry him through the trials and hardshps he natur-
ally meets, then ne may not be a hero but a good man, but If he combines
with principle, love for humanity and all his brethren to such an extent that
he will sacrifice for hem as we'll as o. his w he may truly be called a
hero
II you love our children and your families that is right and commend
able out if vol cannot embrace your fellow mar n "love your neighbor
IS yourself" YOU are still vey human and are ensaved by ism our
own comfort means more to you than our weaker brothers.
The heroesa about % al easily be found from these symptoms: First
working ron a cause or principle; nc sef-pty and complainings; v N
sympathy so great that they sacrifice v erything in the world they cherish for
this cause or principle.
Make their burdens light; perhaps tits our mother who longs 20 aid the

IT MUST COME.

Public and private opinion toward
the faithful and Woodworking janitors
of flats and apartment houses must
undergo a change soon or there will be
an upheaval to shake the country.
There is a limit beyond which these
poor and suffering men canno be
pressed, and that limit has now been
reached. During the past month the
press of the country has recorded as
follows:
A janitor in New York city who had
held his place for five years with all
proper pride was so Inundated by a
tenant asking him to pull up the dumb
waiter that he hung himself to a beam
in the cellar and left a widow and
seven children behind him.
A janitor in Boston had issued an
edict that no children should be born
in the house. A reckless and obstinate
mother presented her husband with
twins, and then calmly refused tc
throw them out of the back window or
send them away to an orphan asylum.
The janitor stormed and threatened,
but finding that he could do nothing,
he sat down on a barrel of ~gunpowder
and touched it off, and his present
whereabouts are unknown.

In 1869 a work was published in Phila-
delphia by Wise, entitled Autograph
of william Shakespeare : To-
gether with 1000 Ways of Spelling the
Name" The poets ancestry, it seems,
cannot be traced with certainty beyond
his grandfather, Richard Shakespeare.
John Shakespeare, the poets father,
spelled the name sixteen different ways
in the sixty-six times he entered it
in the council books of Stratford. Most
often he spelled it "ShaXpeare." Only
about half a dozen of William Shake
speare's autographs, of undisputed
authenticity, are extant. His signature
is at one time "Shakspere" at another
time, Shakespeare" and again Shake
~speare.' The spelling most commonly
adopted in contemporary editions of his
works is "Shakespeare.'-Ed.1

A janitor in Philadelphia objected to
canary birds in the flats over which
he held sway. One of the tenants OBJ

In maintaining his dignity the janitor

that he must have kicked about like a

A janitor in Chicago had been in the

tenant caught him at it a few mornings
and called him a purloiner. The poor

AN NLookHD.FoR E OF SIS. 500.

Another bill for s1SONl in addition to a bill for $500 already paid by the
county, fol- private detective services, has been rendered to the Board of
Freeholders, making S25N0 in all of n expense to the taxpayers which they
knew nothing about. These charges can as a surprise to the reeholders
and the public. 1t had heen universally understood that the energy exhibited
last year by the county criminal authorities ws due entirely to official zeal
There was not even a hint given that it was due to hired private agencies
and that the county would have a formidable bill to pay. 1t appears that a
county criminal officer an privately contract extraordinary public expenses
without any authorization and make the county board pay the bill The Gov
ernor of the State has no such power. The Legislature votes an emergency
fund for his use, and he has NJ ut horhy to spend a dollar in addition to
