That's All He Forgot.

The cab containing the absentmind-

front of the Broad street station.
There emerged the absentminded man,
his wife and three children, bird
cage, a dog on leash and innumer-
able bundles and parcels. The absent
minded man paid the driver, gathered
up the bundles, dropped them and
pressed his hand dramatically to his
fevered brow.

A New York Supreme Court Justice
walls that the age of patriotism has
yielded to the age of commercialism,"
and that "uppermost in the human
mind to-day is not the Stars and
Stripes, but the dollar mark" We
don't believe it. The distinguished
jurist must have eaten too much din
ner. The baseless superstition that
commerce S a selfish thing and trade
utterly without bowels of sentiment
is a survival from the feudalism that
despised any pursuit save murder and
every profit save privilege. The truth
is that all national patriotisms to-day
rest upon the need of commerce and
industry for organized order, law and
security, and those countries whose
national power and good are upheld
by the commercial and industrial
classes, are exactly the ones whose
citizens exhibit most national patriot
ism. Napoleon called England a ma
tion of shopkeepers, but the patriot
ism of the shopkepers in the course
of thirteen years of war wore the Cor
sican down. The South despised the
Yankees as devoted to the almighty
dollar, but the South was conquered
by the sacrifices of blood and treasure
the Yankees made. Feudalism, chiv-
airy, and that sort of things kept Ger
many disrupted and Japan collection
of warning tribes. National patriotism
is quality of modern Germany and
modern Japan. Right here in Ameri-
ca at this present hour is more sense
of civic responsibility, of patriotic de-
votion, of public ideality than ever
animated the rank and file of any nu-
merous people. We need them ALL in
order to deal with the evils that af-
fiict us, but we are not corrupt to the

BARRIERS WHO BECAME FAMOUS.
High Rank Attained by Many
Wielders of StrOp and Razor.

H1Sh Hank Attained by Many
Wfelders of StrOp and Razor.
Perhaps the best known of all bar
bers who have attained fame were
Arkwright, the improver of the spin
ming jenny, who was said to have
turned to mechanics when the wigmak-
ing trade fell off, and Jeremy Taylor,
who was brought up in his fathers
shaving shop at Cambridge, says Lon
don Tit-Bits. Edward Sugden, after
ward made Baron st. Leonard, was
the son of hair cutter in shop in
Lincoln's Inn, London. Once when
Sugden was addressing crowd in the
interest of his candidacy for parlia-
ment man called out to know what
soap cost and how lather was made.
II am particularly obliged to that gen.
tleman," Sir Edward is reported 20
have said, for reminding me of my
lowly origin. 1t is true that | am a
barber's son and that l myself was
once barber. If the gentleman who
so politely reminded me of these facts
had been barber he would have con-
tinued to remain one till the end of
his life" Charles Abbott, Baron Ten
terden, was also a BARRIERS son, and
it is related how, when he was made
a peer of England, he took his own
son to little Westminster shop and
bade him remember 1t was there that
his grandfather had been accustomed
to shave others for penny. William
Falconer, the poet, was poor barber
in Edinburg until his poem, "The
Shipwreck," brought him renown and
incidentally commission In the royal
navy. Craggs, associated with the
South sea bubble, was barber turned
promoter. He became enormously
wealthy, but when the South sea crash
came his fortune dwindled and in des-
pair he committed suicide. Giovanni
Belzoni Of Padua was barber with a
varied and interesting history. Bel
zoni set up shop in England, but
soon found more profit in posing at
Sadler's Wells as the "Patagonian
Samson" Being of thrifty tempera-
ment, Belzoni accumulated quite a for
tune. He achieved lasting fame as the
discoverer of interesting relics in the
'ombs Of Egypt and as traveller.

"This stole is of tongue caught er-

Who is better qualified to Judge of
the needs of the poor than those who
virtually live with them and who thus
become fully cognizant of what is best
calculated to relieve their distress :?
Certainly the best philanthropy is that
which gives the kind of aid most
needed. which elevates the object of
charity to a plane on which charity
no longer is necessary; that, in short,
which helps the poor to help them
selves.

tugal! Thus all hope OF a princess OF
the blood royal breaking the precedent
and marrying for love is for this gen.
Grafton vanished. For Princess Patri-
cia of Connaught, the beauty of the
British court, was also the willful one,
who stood out for an ordinary woman's
privilege of marrying according to her
heart and not according to the tradi-
tions of her rank and the policy of the
state. She refused King Alfonso of
Spain, it is said, and also the Count
of Turin, and for years has been deter.
mined to marry mere commoner,
younger son of mere noble. The boy
king of Portugal is five or six years
her junior, but is quite good-looking
in contrast to her former suitor of
Spain. Perhaps Patricia has yielded TO
persuasions of duty, for it is important
dynastically to consummate the politi.
cal alliance of Portugal and Britain.
Portugal not only has harbors of use
to the British fleet, but she has vast
possessions in Africa which the Ger
man covets. Nevertheless, what sac
rifice this marriage is, if it is to be
marriage This one beautiful daughter
of Britain's royal house, granddaughter
of Victoria and also of the Red Prince
of Prussia, the genius of the 49,. war,
goes to the throne of a decrepit coun-
try, abjures her religion, may be blown
up by bombs or murdered with the
knife, at least have her nerves broken
as are those of her cousin, the Queen
of Spain. One cannot help being sorry
for Victoria Patricia of Connaught.
