Another holiday season will soon
be upon us, and the wise woman is
laying her plans and starting her
gifts early that she may not be so
rushed at the last end as to lose all

A MODERN INSTANCE.

Money is a thing of tremendous
power.
But when 1t clashes with the i'm
pulses of nature it is ii futile force.
Young Oscar de RothsrbiId, son of
Baron ItothSchild Of Vienna. commit
ted suicide the other day by blowing
out his brains.
The story. which reveals romance
that reads like Il chapter from d mod,
ern novel, is this:
While in this country on a travel
tour the young uobIeman fell in love
with Chicago girl, Miss Olga Mem.
daughter of ii surgeon attached to one
of the hospitals.
The companion of Oscar fell i'll, and
DR.. Mem attended him. In this way
the young man made the acquaintance
of DR.. Mem and was invited to his
home. where be met the daughter.
1t was case of love at first sight on
progress that inside of week young
Rothschild proposed and was accepted.
He then cabled the news to his
father, the baron, at Vienna. He re-
ceived message in reply asking him
to wait awhile before marrying. Roth
schild hurried to Europe to plead for
his fathers consent. arranging for
Olga Mem and her mother to follow.
Arrived in Vienna. the young man
received ii stern rebuke. 1t was Il
violation of all the family traditions.
The policy of the Rothschild family
since the time of it's founder has been
to concentrate the family wealth. Mar
rage is one of the means by which
this policy is accomplished.
The young man was broken hearted.
He returned to Hamburg. where he
told the girl of his fathers decision.
and the engagement was broken.
Then. in an impulse of protestation
against the sordjd pride of his family,
Oscar de Rothschild sealed his love
with his death.
His rash act proclaimed in tones
louder than words. You cannot buy
my hearts affection with gold"
It is serious business. this traftick.
ing in human hearts and interfering
with a strong natural affection.
Life is more than money. Life, req
life. is abundant fullness. the fuIlncSS
of love.
The force Of an abiding love in it,
realm is as strong as the law of gray
ity in its realm.
Obstruct a natural force and. ltke
the accumulated water above a dam
it will some time burst its barriers
away. putting to scorn the puny arm
that dares to stop it.
So the moral force of great atfec-
ton. The impulse is Irresistible.
Beware how you Interfere with the
sacred dictates of strong and pure
human affection.

DANISH THE HOUSEFLY.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

DANISH THE HOUSEFLY.
Do you remember the pathetic poem
'efTbe Spider and the Fly" contained
ean hge old school readers?
You will. then. remember how your
Childish sympathies were aroused In
behalf Of the poor little fly that came
by cordial invitation into the par!or
of the spider and was killed.
That poem was written in a day
when the fly was popularity regarded
as an annoying but harmless insect.
It was not then generally known that
the common houseHy is the filthiest
Of all vermin.
BY comparison the spider is a bene'
factor. He eats f1ies.
The fly is born I'm filth. and his whole
history and habit are of the slums. Be.
fore he was a fly ne was maggot
He matches where filth germs hide.
He is a dirty little beast. The only
toilet he makes is that by rubbing his
legs over his body, scraping off germs
OF typhoid and other diseases. 50 that
whatever any part of him touches that
spot is infected One may have the
wigor of vitality to throw off the in.
lection. but the spot is nevertheless
infected
He is not a pleasant object of con-
temptation. but be is such an enemy
of humans that his true character
ought to be known.
The fly is liable to infect you with
tuberculosis, typhoid or scarlet fever,
zg7iphtheria and other infectious dis
eases. He is a common carrier of dis
ease germs.
The mosquito is an infection carrying
numerous, as is the fly tribe. The
mosquito breeds in swamps and is
common to certain localities only. The
ny is everywhere.
That is the trouble.
Your premises may be sanitary. but
the fly may breed in the stable Of your
next door neighbor He is a com
munity pest. Your neighbours scaven.
ger gets into your food
The fly should be kept out of the
1ouse by screens until frost comes to
kill him.
Food should be protected from the
flies at all hazard. Babies and the sick
need special protection.
Some housekeepers feel they are dis
graced by the presence of bedbugs or
lice. But these pests are harmless
compared with the germ bearing
housefiy.
War to the death should be declared
on the vile vermiD. His presence is a
disgrace. His touch may be deadly.
Use fy poisons. sticky paper, traps
anything by which he can be exter-
minated.
1t is perhaps impossible to eliminate
, the breeding places of the insect.
Wherever there Is filth there will be
flies But one can keep the things out
offone's house.

statistics on marriage. divorce and
crime prepared by the great German
statistirian BuSchan.
II you are willing to follow lew
Of these figures you may learn some
significant facts.
You will learn. for Instance. that the
prisons of the world hold four times
more men than women. These figures.
SO complimentary to women. justify
ones natural expectation. and they
contain hope Of the race.
Moreover
OF the women in prison only small
percentage are married. 1t is also
shown that the average of Criminality
In men is cut in half by marriage
Of Jail sentences for larceny. swim
ding and misdemeanors only rs pei
cent are pronounced against married
folks. What more convincing argu
ment in favor of matrimony could you
find?
More marriages-less crime; fewer
marriageS-more crime.
Also luS blN WV '
is strengthened by these statistics.
One-third more divorced and wild
owed women than girls are Jailed foI
crime. On the other hand. the per
centage of divorced men or widowers
under sentence is q little less than
that of unmarried men, which speaks
well for the uplift of marriage.
The heaviest burden of divorce Is
borne by women.
There are economic reasons. Many
women are suddenly bereft of tinan-
cfaI support and of the comforts and
protection of home by enforcement
Often there are dependent children
Under such conditions the divOrceG
woman. especially if she is young and
attractive. is subject to many tempta
lions
Buschan+s figures show that Of di
vorcees and widows below the age OF
twenty II per cent more go to jail
than older women of the same class.
The teaching of these facts is plain
Marriage is n safeguard: divorce i,
dangerous, especially to women.
Marriage is not only a Safeguard to
society by the Iessening of crime, but
it also safeguards the individual
Matrmony spells safety.
And the feeling comes to the stu
dent of these statistics that not only
is marriage-the marriage of one nau
to one woman-bound up in the eco.
nomic system of today, but that it l.
deeply laid in the constitution OF
mans nature
In other words. it is a divine instf-
tuition.
Marriage is more than safety: ii is
a duty.
The obligation of it is laid upon the
race not only for the preservaticn OF
the race in purity. but for the happi,
ness of the individual.

At YOUR BEST.

The divinest spectacle IN all the
world is man at his best.
A man is at his best when his sym
pathies are stirred into action by some
appeal of stricken brother-some ap
neal that opens his heart. his hand and
his purse.
In the same way our humanity is at
its best when some great calamity
makes instant and universal appeal.
At such times men are moved in mass
to the high plane of united ministry.
Such cataclysms as the Chicago fire.
the Galveston food. the San Francisco
earthquake. develop in the whole peo-
pie all that Is highest In feeling and
noblest in action. There is no stint in
any community Of sympathy or help.
fulness.
But
Did you ever think that every day
In somebody's soul is cataclysm as
great to him as fire or food or earth
quake is TO the multitude?
Every day some mans substance is
swept away by the fire or by the food
Of competition. some wonlan's soul is
rent by the earthquake of sorrow or
bereavement. some child's life Is inun-
dated by great deprivation.
Every day some human is tried by
fire. shaken by earthquake or sunken
IN great food.
All. If you but knew II you would
sympathize and assist.
1t may be your next door neighbor
But the calamity does not perhaps
appear He fears the shame of humil-
latioD or he doubts the genuineness "f
your sympathy and he is reticent.
Like certain Kind of animal. he in.
stinctiveIy hides his wound.
He has missed his opportunity to be
helped. You have missed your oppor.
tunity TO be at your best.
The day of real brotherhood will
come when the need OF the one has
as much publicity as the need of the
many. the barrier of pride is put down;
when the concern Of one becomes the
concern of all: when individual suffer
ing makes its appeal as does u great
cyclone or food or Ere.
1t is glorious when all men respond TO
great call; it Is no less glorious when
one man responds to a lesser appeal.
Do not wait for cyclone or food
Men and women and little children
are bearing burdens you should light
