Dutch people believe they have the
most 70 fear. A glance at the map OF
Europe will show those who are most
unfamiliar with European politics why
that is so, The little kingdom of the
Netherlands shuts of the German EN-
pire from all but short slip of the
North Sea coast. Were the resistance
which the kingdom can offer the only
obstacle, no one doubts that Germany
would soon find pretext for absorb
ing it. But there are other powers,
and particularly Great Britain, which
would oppose such move, and the
German Emperor is not one to pro-
woke great war to obtain that which
no doubt every German covets. But
If the throne of the Netherlands
should be occupied by German
prince, the internal opposition to an
nexation would be weakened, and that
might ultimately be accomplished
without war which at present Is i'm
possible. So the little princess has
been welcomed because the Dutch peo-
pie love their royal house and their
charming queen, and because they see
in the helpless infant a security for
their national independence.

Yellow journalism is now a thing

To wreck home is serious
offense. To lead wife and mother
astray is black-hearted crime, and
the criminal deserves severe punish
ment But suspicion and gossip are
not proof. Even the confession of one
of the parties Is not conclusive as
against the other, for confessions are
sometimes obtained by terrorism or
promise of forgiveness, which confess
to more than the truth. If one of the
accused parties is shot down in his
tracks without an opportunity of de
Tense or explanation, the murderer is
not entitled to the benefit which might
accrue to him if the guilt of the vic
tim were absolutely proved. The dan
ger Of admitting the so-called "unwrit
is not only that it substitutes private
vengeance for the proper ministration
of the law, but that it opens the way
for trumped-up cases of wrong-doine
to excuse murder. 1t is conceivable
that husband and wife might con
spire to put an enemy of either OF
both out Of the way by bringing
against him a false accusation. II
may be said that a woman would not
sacrifice her good name to please her
husband or save another lover. Such
cases are very rare, but they have been
known. The whole principle of our
criminal law is that an accused per
son has right to be confronted with
his accuser and with the evidence, and
given an opportunity to make his de-
Tense. The private executioner af-
fords him no such opportunity. The
unWritten law as an excuse for per-
sonal vengeance is a relic of barbarism
that should not be tolerated in a
civilized country. The Sicilian brig
ands hold the principle that it
is more honorable to revenge injuries
by assassination than to resort to the
courts. The American juryman who
permits the doctrine of the ''unwritten
law" to sway his verdict is putting
himself on the moral plane of the
Sicilicn briSand.

The United States Circuit Court has
handed down a decision in Philadel-
phia that the driver of an automobile
is bound not only to follow the ordi-
nary rule of stop, look and listen"
when he reaches a railroad crossing,
but if necessary must get out and
walk to the track, as does the con-
ductor Of street car This decision
is based upon the eminently sensible
ground that when the passing vehicle
is a ponderous steel structure, it
threatens not only the safety of its
own occupants, but also those on the
colliding train"

The Miracle of Polite Persfstency

Says Orison SWEET Marden, writing
in Success Magazine: When genius
has failed in what it attempted, and
talent says impossible; when every
other faculty gives up; when tact re-
tires and diplomacy has fed when
logic and argument and influence and
pull have all done their best and
retired from the field, gritty persist
ency, bulldog tenacity, steps in, and
by sheer force of holding on wins,
gets the order, closes the contract,
does the impossible All, what mir
acles tenacity of purpose has perform
ed! The last to leave the field, the
last to turn back, it persists when all
other forces have surrendered and
fed. 1t has won many battle even
after hope has left the field
Confederate commanders in the
Civil War said that the trouble with
General Grant was that The never
knew when he was beaten" When
Grants generals thought that his
army, with only two transports, would
be trapped at Vicksburg, they asked
him how he expected to get his men
out, urging that in case of defeat he
could get only small part of his
army upon two transports. He told
them that two would be plenty for
all the men that he would have left
when he surrendered.
1t is the man in the business world
who will not surrender, who will not
take no for an answer, and who stands
his ground with such suavity of man
ner, such politeness, that you cannot
take offense, cannot turn him down.
that gets the order; that closes the
contract; that gets the subscription;
that gets the credit or the loan.
He is a very fortunate man who
combines gracious manner, suavity,
cordiality, cheerfulness, with that
logged persistency which never gives
up.

short Suggestions.

Wash the refrigerator every week
with soda water and keep a saucer of
charcoal in it.
Never throw away pea pods; they
give delicious favor to the PURGE
for the next day.
1t is much easier to skin onions If
they are covered with boiling water
for a few moments before Deeling.
A roast of meat which is to be serv-
ed cold should be wrapped in cloth
when it is put away. 1t keeps its
flavor better.
After scrubbing potatoes to bake,
grease them with lard, and the outer
skin will come off like burnt paper
when the potatoes are served.
See that clothes are. thoroughly
dried and aired after being ironed.
Otherwise they will not smell fresh
and sweet and white garments will
soon become yellow.
Save the water in which rice is
boiled, and let it stand until jellied.
1t makes an economical substitute for
milk in the making of cream soups,
patties and other dishes.
Pecan and English walnut meats
chopped and halyed and laid over the
top of a pumpkin pie just before it
goes into the oven makes fine season
ing, rich and well-favored
To clean batter from the cake pan
let it harden in the pan and scrape
out with a steel knife, or first grease
the pan before making the batter.
Pour hot water in cereal pans, place
on the lid and steam the vessel and it
will clean easily.

Seldom has the birth of child been
of so much national and international
Importance as the recent birth of a
princess of the Netherlands. The pres,
ent queen herself was the only child
of King Willem Ill; was born when
her father, was sixty-three years old,
and had reigned thirty-one years; and
If King Willem had died without d.
rect issue, the crown would have been
worn by a German prince. The same
result would have followed If Queen
Wilhelmina had died childless, and
that would have been TO the Dutch
people q great national calamity. Not
only would their beloved House of Or
Rnge. with its long line Of sovereigns.
have become extinct, but the stranger
who would come to rule over them
would be prince of an alien race,
and OF that very race from which the

lies in her sweetness of expression, her
well-bred air and her lovable manners.

pay her the sovereign compliment of
