Why does the country-bred boy 50
often succeed better than the city
bred boy? President Finley says It is
because the former has keener
sense OF his own Importance. This is
not the usual answer, insists the New
York Mail. but we like it for that very
reason, and because there is much
truth in it. The city-bred boy has his
sense Of vanity, OF course. but it CO.
exists with a feeling Of his own insig-
nificance undeserved as he believes
and imposed by the unjust dispense
tions of fate, and yet something borne
in upon him every minute by the in
difference and prepossessions of the
multitude in which he moves and has
ais being.

The notion that sweets are deleter-
ious in themselves has gone the way
Of other food fallacies. In its place is
the scientific recognition of sugar as
the equal of starch in fat-forming and
heat-producing qualities and its inclu-
sion as a ration in the diet of the Ger
man soldier. Confectionery with a
fuel value" of 1850 calories surpass-
es roast beef, porterhouse steak, NUT
ton chops and bread, while chocolate
leads the whole list of articles of diet
in supplying energy. Who knows, in
sists the New York World, but some in
yestigator Of the future will find in the
matinee girls caramels the founda-
ton OF that physical yigor and mental
aIertness which is the admiration of

sugar annually the physical basis OF
our eminence among nations?

EFFORTS to Collect.
Attorney O'Neil, who assisted Mr..
McEniry, attempted to compel the wit
ness to show whether his bank had
made any effort to establish direct
ownership OF the collateral or had at
tempted to realize on it by offering It
for sale before beginning this suit, but
the court, whose ruling in most in
stances seemed TO favor the plaintiff.
held that this was unnecessary, and
that the endorsement Of the Fidelity
company when it turned over the note
was sufficient 10 establish this point
The attorney held that his point was
well taken and that it affected the
right OF the bank to sue, but was over
ruled
He also INDUCED in a line of ques-
tioning that conveyed the impression
that the bank might be acting in col
fusion with Kieran to the extent, ct
least, of turning over to him any sur
plus that might accrue from suits on
notes of this character. but declined
to state to the court that he woulo
prove this, and eventually abandoned 1t.
In the end, the court ruled that the
note was gooG, and that the sisters
must pay. He gave the defense so
days in which to perfect an appeal to
the United States circuit court of ap-
peaIs, which counsel for the defense
said they would avail themselves of at
once.
Sister Mary nrez
Much of the time Wednesday after
noon and yesterday morning was oc-
cupied in wrangling over the question
of admitting the testimony of Sister
Mary Agnes. Counsel for the bank in
troduced letters and kilograms from
her to the bank asking for an extern
sion of time on the note, and in one
making a definite promise TO pay A.
torney McEniry attempted to show
that these notes and kilograms had
been sent at the instance OF Mr..
Kieran. but evidence along these lines
was ruled out by the court.
Sister Catherine was called to the
stand, but her evidence was not ma
terial, and she was excused. Counsel
for the defense said later that the case
would be fought through the higher
courts
On leaving the witness stand, Sister
Mary Agnes. former superior, and now
directress Of the Visitation order. was
complimented by Judge Humphrey fo~
the Observation-Disclosures Of her testi-
mony. In two instances he interrupt
ed the attorneys for the plaintiff in
their questioning OF Sister Agnes, and
remarked that he was convinced she
was "telling the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth"
