A Writer of the Heart.

As a rule, the eulogists of the late
Donald G. Mitchell try to prove too
much. Not the generation that pro-
duced TX Marvel nor the one follow
ing that has alone had the good taste
and spiritual insight to read and ap-
preciate 'Reveries of a Bachelor
Young people of the present have not
only discovered for themselves the
treasure house opened by the genial
TX Marveps pen, but often have made
its riches known for the first to their
seniors. The philosopher of the sim
pie life found his audience early, vet
no period has neglected him.
Even the embarrassment of literary
riches poured out the last few years
could not make the ''Reveries" back
number. Readers who have their
Kipling and Jerome K. Jerome by
heart will turn to TX Marvel for an
antidote to WEAKNESS. One can be
surfeited with fippancy as we'll as
with sentiment. TX Marvers senti-
ment was Of the wholesome sort. he
wrote for the sound hearted, not the
soft headed. His ideals appeal to the
twentieth century, and possibly it will
be more loyal to him than was the
century which revealed him. To the
past he was an entertainer; to the
present he is mentor and confidant.

NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
What the Sailor Will DO to Obtain
Shore leave

Shore Leave. .
As illustrating how men respond and
adjust themselves to reward, or, what
comes to the same thing, the maximum
satisfaction for a given amount Of eff
fort, two instances that came under
my observation while in the navy are
very interesting. One cruise was made
on vessel whose executive officer was
In most respects a very able man.
Discipline in general was admirable.
In arranging for shore leave Of the
enlisted men, however, he managed so
to arrange matters, strange as it may
seem, that it was possible for man
in an inferior conduct grade to get
more liberty than one of the best be-
haved men. This was of course en-
tirely unnatural and came about from
a combination of two separate systems
The reason was that naval regulations
compelled the giving Of at least GER
tain amount Of shore leave to men in
the second grade, while the system he
was using actually allowed less to a
man in the first grade The result was
that in a short time the bulk Of the
men were in the second conduct grade
where they could get the most liberty.
At later date, on another ship, the
executive officer was an extremely
able man, who had studied this ,ques-
ton more carefully and was a great
believer in making it worth while for
the men to behave themselves and
keep in a high conduct grade. He so
arranged matters that if any man be-
haved himself sufficiently well and
did all his work with high efficiency
he could have an unusual amount of
liberty. The result was that this ship
had more than half it's crew in what
is known as the Especial first Glass;"
far and away the largest percentage
that ever came under my observation.

To filter the blood is the kidnevs,

kidneys are sick. Backache and MANY
kidney ills follow; urinary trouble,

them all. Princeton people endorse
our claim.

says: "For over twenty-five years I
suffered from rheumatism and at times
was so bad that I was unable to raise
my arms above my head. Ny hips
and joints would become stiff and

Horses In Cities.

The London Globe predicts that the
ideal city of the future will be horse
less. It says that motor vehicles are
now driving horse drawn vehicles out
of London. While that city has grown
In size immensely within the past few
years, the number Of horses in use
there has become smaller. Cleaner
and less crowded streets have fol-
lowed this substitution of motor cabs,
trucks and omn1buses for the old style.
If the horse must be cut out of city
traffic in this country, it is evident
that he will go in glory. Exhibitions
OF horses used for commerce in large
American cities show that this nation
now recognizes the merits Of the draft
horse better perhaps than ever be-
fore. The streets of every large city
give proof daily that fine horses are
the pride of horse owners and of the
employees who have care Of the ami
mails. Horse owners have always liked
the best. The sensitiveness about tax
Ing another mans dust operates in the
CITY,. The fine horses of the fire de-
partments, the express companies and
the breweries stimulate the attention
Of all horse owners and drivers in
their choice of stock and the treat
ment of it when at work. In few
years the American draft horse will
be at his best, and it will be pity to
cast him aside.

Strenuous suffragettes.

Said speaker at a college woman's
suffrage meeting, when woman can
fire a bullet and hit a mark she will
be better entitled to vote But many
women have already qualified as. crack
shots, and if the authorities would
give schoolgirls equal privileges with
schoolboys on the rifle ranges this sort
Of comparison would soon lose point.
When Cynthia Westover laid down
the rifle for the pen she could shoot as
straight as any man in Buffalo Bills
crowd, not excepting the great scout
himself Cynthia exhibits no scalps
as evidence of her true aim, but she
has numerous trophies, telling not Of
the hunt, but Of balls placed on the
bulseye in defense Of human life out
on the plains.
Men will need to look to their laurels
when women start to do the tricks
their rival sex prides itself upon. 4 IN
Willingly men are training women to
equal them everywhere, and as one
result we behold the strenuous suf-
fragettes. Intending merely to en-
nance the pleasure of sport, they take
women for comrades in outdoor pas
times Women ride to hounds, run
races, play ball, swim and row and
are as hardy and as handy in the
woods as their brothers. The athletic
woman is here to stay. In England
she uses natures weapons in a man
ner to shock the prophecies perhaps,
but any crowd of male amateurs
would go to the same extremes under
the same provocation. The hair pull
ing. clawing, kicking, horsewhipping,
screaming and general hazing and ma
g1ng that upset London would all
happen were the aggrieved grown
schoolboys. The suffra gettes lack sci
ence; but, having temper and sand,
they hit right and left Theirs are the
tactics Of the savage who will not re-
main savage longer than it takes to
climb higher. Calamity mixed with
selfishness started woman on the road
to muscular strenuousness. Time and
evolution will do the rest.

cent postage rate will do for starter,
although it does not offset the decline
in postage receipts which followed the
cut from to cents The increase
was only 25 per cent, but doubtless the
bulk of it was letters sending the news

Banks

1t was in the City Of Brotherly Love
that the first bank was established in
1881. 1t was incorporated by congress
under the rame of '"The President, Di-
rectors and Company Of the Bank Of
North America" Three years later the
second bank in the country was opened
in Boston and called the Massachu-
setts bank.
In the same year the Bank Of New
York was founded
The first United States bank was

banks were established, one in Phila-

IN declaring that without the exhila-
ration to be derived from alcohol the
average American would sink into
humdrum and lack the spur Of ro-
nance Professor Munsterberg ignores
the genius of Christmas, which holds
this nation under universal spell.
Christmas comes but once a year, yet
Is never wholly absent as an melting
force. It is always coming and is the
one holiday which every one intends
to prepare for-moreover, enjoys pre-
pairing for-for it is open to a variety
Of establishment. Thanksgiving is al
most fixed duty. 1t fits into the year
as does the dinner hour into the day.
Feast and thanks are always ready
and always just about the same.
There is never Christmas so barren
OF cheer that any normal person can
vow to cut it out in future and not end
by cutting out the resolution instead.
The vision Of Christmas cheer works
out among grownups the same as the
Santa Claus idea among children.
When things go wrong Santa Claus
has met with mishap or had a poverty
year or there were more good children
to reward than the saint figured on
when laying in stock. So, while believ-
ing that the best Christmas ever, can
be improved upon, we refuse to believe
that the worst may not be and should
not be redeemed, because well, be-
cause Christmas is Christmas. There's
the inspiration, ceaseless and indie
structible, to lift the individual and
society above the humdrum.

The price of diamonds is following
