Lenn contracted bills of various sorts, and though he had plenty of money of his own, which he exhibited with pride, he called upon the boy to make payment Carter did so for a time, until he paid out several dollars when he oriected on the ground that his companion was able to pay his own bills Lenn becanAa threatening and the boy was coerced into further dig ging' until he had expended about Ss on account of Lenn. A friend inter- vened and the boy was enabled to leave his expensive companion for whose arrest a warrant was sworn out yesterday.

of others that they may not be borne down by the weight of hostile and persistent criticism.
 MT. Lincolns biographer and part ner, Judge Herndon, raises a ques- tion as to whether love made up a part of Lincoln's nature. He sug
 gests that his consideration and charity resulted rather from his nse of justice I don't know that such a discussion is profitable. Certain it is that We have never had in public life a man whose sense of duty was stronger, whose bearing toward those with whom he came in contact, whether his friends or political op- ponents, was characterized by greater sense of fairness. And We have never had in public life a man who took upon himself uncomplain- ingly the woes of the nation and suffered in his soul from the weight of them as he did, nor in all our history a man who had such a mix ture of common sense, of high sense of duty, of power, of memorable logic, and of confidence in the goodness of God in working out a righteous re- suit, as had this great product of the soil of our country.
 One cannot read of Abraham Lin coin without loving him. One cannot thing of his struggles, of his life and its tragic end, without weeping. One cannot study his efforts, his con science, his heroism, his patriotism and the burdens of bitter attack and calumny under which he suffered, and think of the place he now oc- cupies in the history of this country, without a moral inspiration of the most stirring and intense character President -elect Taft, in the Cosmopol itan.

ETHICS AND AESTHETICS.

The protest of the Philadelphia clergy against the production of 'Sa- lome" in that city would be more effective if the objections to the opera were not based upon mere hear say. There is room for a difference of opinion, of course, as to the pro- priety of the subject. In England even more than in the United States there is a prejudice against the rep resentation of Bible characters upon the stage. In both countries, but there to a greater extent than here. the oratorio has flourished, partly, at least, because of this restriction. If there is objection to "Salome," be- cause Bible characters are introduced, it must be wholly on account of John the Baptist; there is surely no halo about Herod or Herodias, or the daughter of Herodias.
 In this case, however, the objec- ton goes deeper. To make this dduS4llSls NAO AS eiAAoiAg AiAou' AAA NAiS New Testament account, the central figure of a drama of blood and lust, with the prophet as the victim of her unholy desires, is to degrade. it may be argued, even John himself. Fur thermore, the representation of such a scene and such emotions is repul sive to persons of sensitive taste. The Philadelphia clergy seem to be- lieve that if it is repulsive it must be immoral But that does not fol- low. On the contrary, a representa- ton of evil that disgusts is far less dangerous than one that pleases. In the nice verbal morality of these days we are apt to strain at gnats and swallow camels. A scene which may be described as unpleasant" evokes a loud cry of protest; whereas an insidious attack upon the foundations of society may easily pass without comment.
 As for "Salome," it can not be con sidered a pleasant opera, or one likely to appeal to a wide audience. That the presentation of it will do any particular harm to the morals of Philadelphia is not likely.

WHEN THE FUSE BLOWS OUT.

Tt might have been," is sad enough but it does not cast the sable folds of gloom over the average bushes man half as quickly nor half as completely, as when the grimy-fisted conductor on the street car bawls out; take the car aheadi"
 The business man seldom knows just what has happened but he does know that he must hustle into an- other car or be late to business.
 A fuse is a small piece of metal alloy wire having a low melting point and it's purpose is to automatically open the electric circuit under ab- normal conditions. The alloy may be in the form of bare strip of wire or it may be encased in a fireproof tube. When the current is excessive, or the ampereage high, this wire is the first thing to melt, cutting out the current which would otherwise damage the motors. On street cars this wire usually melts with an eX- plOsion and puff of smoke, harmless in itself but sufficient to startle nervous passengers.
 But instead of being indicative of danger the fuse is devised to pre- vent accidents. Electric machinery differs from all other machinery in that it will work itself to death, so to speak. Overloaded engines will stop; but an overloaded motor will work right on until it burns up. To protect it fuses or circuit breakers are inserted in the circuit.
 The fact that passengers have been so frightened when the fuse blew out as to jump off the moving car or even out of the windows necessitated the invention of the automatic cir cult breaker The circuit breakers are operated by an electric magnet whose core is attached so as to

MIR. TAFT ON LINCOLN.
An inspiration. for .Heroism and
 Usefulness to Country.

It seems to me, as I study the life of Lincoln, that in his development and the position to which he attained there is more inspiration for heroism and usefulness to the country than in the life of any other one man in history. He had his weaknesses, like others. His education was faulty But by a certain sort of in- tellectual discipline, by self-education, he clarified his methods of thought and expression so that he was able to meet every problem presented by a solution as simple as it was effec-
 tive. The responsibility which he
 had to assume when he came to the presidency was awful to contemplate, and the proverbial sadness of his features it is easy to understand. The criticism and abuse to which he was subject in the crises of the civil war one is ashamed to review as a mat ter of history. And yet it is of the utmost value in the encouragement
