A MARsHaI.s RATION

Garfield said lie felt like taking of
his hat to every poor newsboy he met
because OF the possibilities under his
ragged jacket.
And Napoleon said there was a mar
shal's baton In the knapsack of every
private soldier In his armies.
Whether Napoleon believed what he
said or was speaking for purpose we
may not know, but a recent writer
tells of two potentially great men who
did carry knapsacks In the emporer's
army.
One Of these veterans was named
Pasteur, who, after the battle of Wa
terloo, returned to his trade as a tan
ner. Denied the advantages OF an edu-
cation, he determined that his son
should have his chance. He worked
far into the night in order to send the
boy to school
That son was Louis Pasteur. the
greatest chemist and Psychologist of
modern times.
Louis Pasteur made some of the
greatest discoveries OF the nineteenth
century. He also laid the foundation
for modern antiseptic surgery, thus
comforting boon on suffering human
ity for all time.
The veteran Pasteur had more than
a marshars baton IN his knapsack.
There was another:
Napoleon died in house on the
island OF st. Helena that was infested
with rats. To the everlasting shame
Of the allies. be 1t said, they stopped
to make his last days miserable. 1t
was the business OF an Irish soldier
named Sullivan to scare away the rats
while the Little Corporal lay ON his
deathbed.
That Irish soldier was the GRANDPA
Their OF Sir Arthur Sullivan, whose
music has gladdened more hearts than
Napoleon desolated.
II Sullivan had written nothing but
'The Lost Chord" he would have
soothed more souls OF men than Napo-
leon sent TO their last account.
Napoleon strobe the world like a
Colossus. At the age OF twenty-six he
stopped the growl of all Europe with
his whiplash. but
In Napoleon's army were men poten-
TALLY greater than he.
Despise not the day Of small things.
Look down upon no man.
The possibilities OF every human
soul are beyond the farthest dream Of
fancy.
1t was the skeptical loafers of Jesus
time who asked. Can any good come

The Professors Letters.

In order to teach his pupils letter
writing Berlin professor recently
conceived the happy IDEA OF having
them compose business letters. which
were inclosed In envelopes and correct
ly addressed to various merchants II
the town. In the evening Herr Pro
lessor. having carried the varied epls
ties home for correction. left them or
his table and, rs was his custom. hied
himself to the cafe. II happened tina,
be had a careful domestic, who. seeing
all the letters properly addressed. a,
once concluded that her master had
forgotten to post them. and out OF thu
goodness OF her heart she stamped
them and hurried to the post
The stupcfaction OF the merchants
upon opening their mail the following
morning may be imagined. and thu
amusing part of the incident Is tina
most OF the letters, which contained
lengthy orders for goods. were taken
seriously and the orders promptly full
filed.

A LOOK INTO a SOUL.
ius Selmers. teamster."

Julius Selmers, teamster"
That Is the way they wrote II In the
records Of the Chicago city morgue.
Julius Selmers sampled life for sixty
fve years and at the end of the period
made mp his mind life held nothing for
him.
This old man kept a diary.
Reading the entries, one gets look,
rs through n window, into the soul of
a man who Is friendless and despond-
ent, but who nevertheless dreams his
dreams
Note some OF the entries:
"June 27.-What bright, sunshiny
day IL Is! The air Is full OF sweet
sounds and odors- How lovely 1t would
be TO spend an hour in the green fields,
but the iron wagon summons me. and
natures fragrance must come to me
through the chinks OF the foul freight
houses"
Dec. 2o.-What memories the day
brings to my old heart! But they are
memories OF some sixty odd Christ.
masses that have spent In poverty
and rags.

Nay 6.--I came near ending II all
this morning. The old drudgery, the
daily round OF sickening humdrum. is
almost too much. Why did / not drive
on that bridge when IL was open? The
poor old horse! would have been
cruel to him. Who would care for old
Toby-or for old Selmers, for that mat

"Noy. 29.-My day OF rest again. 1t

far of.
~Goodby. little book, for today. You
are the only friend have, and, after
al. you are only myself"
And then the window to the souI of
Julius Selmers. teamster. was closed
down forever
What a revelation
The poor old man had a fine love Of
nature. OF humanity and of old Toby
mute. ingiorious poet and dreamer.
We all dream dreams.
But some Of Us see some of our
dreams come true.

not one dream was realized.

WHAT RUSSIA OWES TIE JEWS.

Almost every day the cables tell of
some new atrocity In the Jewish prov
inces of Russia.
1t would seem that Russia does not
want the world to forget the slaughter
houses OF Bessarabia and the massa-
ores of Kishinev, at which the world
revolted.
Ignorance, race hatred and religious
prejudice are responsible fer the age
long cruelties inflicted upon the He
brew race in Russia.
Scratch a Russian and find a Tar
tar" seems true saying. The scratch
ed Russians, transformed into Tartars,
are still going back 1900 years to pun
ish the Jews for the crucifixion of
Christ,
No man OF letters has deeper voiced
the challenge OF civilization to Russia
than Joaquin Miller, "the poet of the
Sierras."
Recently I ran across his poem en-
titled Russia" These are really great
lines and worthy Of preservation:
Who tanned your lawless Tartar bloodf
What David bearded In her den
Inc HuSBian Dear In ages when
You strobe your black. unbridled stud.
A skin clad savage OF your steppes?
Why, one who now walls out to you
The Jew. the Jew. the homeless Jewl
Who grit the thews OF your young prime
And bound your fierce. divided forcef
Why. who but Moses shaped your
course,
United. down the grooves of timer
Your mighty millions all today
The hated homeless Jew obey.
Who taught all poetry to you!
The Jew. the Jew. the hated Jew.
Who taught you tender Bible tales
OF honey lands, OF milk and wine
OF happy. peaceful Palestine,
OF Jordan's holy harvest vales7
Who gave the patient Christ? say,
Who gave your Christian creedf Yea.
yea,
Who gave your very God to you?
Your Jew. your Jew. your hated Jew.
And this reproof from an American
poet Is at companion piece for the pas
sionate plea OF Shylock:
Hath not q jew eyesf Hath not a Jew
hands. organs. dimensions. senses. afrec-
lions. possessions. fed with the same food.
hurt by the same weapons subject to the
same diseases. healed by the same means.
warmed and cooled by the same winter
and summer, as the Christian is?
The blood Of the slaughtered Jew
cries aloud from Russian ground.

WHAT LOVE DID.

Poor Owen Kildare OF New York.
''the Bowery Kipling," as his friends
call him, has been sent to q sanitarium
a nervous wreck.
Kildare's career reads like fiction.
AT thirty years of age be could not
read the simplest sentences Eight
paper man and author.
The immediate cause Of Kildare's
breakdown was the failure of his play.
The Regeneration" This play was
dramatized from Kildare's book, MY
Mamie Rose" which told the story Of
his life and regeneration.
Arnold DAILY, the manager. made
many changes In adapting the play to
the stage against the serious protests
or Kildare. who predicted the failure.
And now the author and playwright
Is on the verge OF insanity.
Born In typical east side tenement
or an Irish father and q French moth.
er, the boy was orphaned at his birth
His mother died when he was born
and his father had died three months
previously.
The child fell into bad hands and
was abused and nearly killed by a
orunkard guardian. Drives to the
streets, he abandoned his home at the
age Of five years, living the life Of n
waif. AT fourteen years. being of q
heavy build physically, he became the
cham pion OF the Park row ..newsies."
Kildare developed into q boxer ans
nnaiiv into prfzeflghter and saloon
"bouncer." AS previously stated, hs
could neither read nor write when he
was thirty years old. He yas about
the last man In the world one might
have selected for reformation.
But one day he met his fate-his
mamie Rose"
She was settlement worker OF great
charm and tact and a woman OF supe-
rior character. Kildare fell deeuly I'm
love with her. She tnught him the
rudfments OF education. Dying shortly
after his conversion" the memory OF
her Kindness kept him I'm the right way.
Thousands OF admirers OF Owen Kill
dare win pray that he may recover his
health. His fight for manhood was a
gallant one.
Two things appear:
No mans estate, however low II
may appear. is entirely hopeless. II

Do not bet on another mans game.
IL you do you VIII lose your money
You may not think 50, but you win

This Is what Richard A. Canneld, the
big New York gambler. said about
gambling a few years ago:
"If you play with a gambler long
enough he is bound to win your money.
He can't help but get IT.
when you play with me In round
numbers you put up 500. and against
that put up 500. Now, figure how
long you can keep doing this. You
may break me temporarily, but as long
as you play against me at the odds Of
100 to 90 III have your money"
Garfield knew.
In the days OF his prosperity he Is
reputed to have made 100000 In the
gambling business.
1t is said that for twenty years when
he was In the business he did not
personally touch card or manipulate
a device.
He relied upon certain profits mathe-
matically figured.
Garfield put 1t plainly: IL you go into
the gamblers game he has a hundred
chances to your ninety-ten chances to
your nine. II you stay In the game.
as nearly all players DO. he win get
your pile.
The gambler knows the end from the
beginning.
1t is just here the man who CANDLES
makes his mistake He fancies his

of mathematics. he bets on the theory
that nine Is more than ten.
The gamblers game is not q game

1t is a game Of deliberate robbery sci
entifcally carried out.
Canfield's warning viii fail to keep
the man who has the gambling fever
away from the tables. The poor fool
is infatuated with his system" He
Is always going to break the bank.
But you,
II you have an idea In the back OF
your head that you are an exception to
the rule, ask yourself which is the
greater, nine or ten

the game. But / do say II you expect
to gamble without losing your money
