LEADING MISTAKES IN LIFE
Writer Has Recorded Ten, of Which
Most Of Us Assurediy Have
Our Share.

Some of us may be glad to be told
that there are only ten life mistakes,
for lhere seem to be so many more,
but recent writer has catalogued
them. Perhaps these are only the ten
leading ones from which the smaller
errors arise. Let's look over the list
and see how many of them are ours:
First, to set up our own standard Of
right and wrong and judge people ac-
cordingly; second, to measure the en-
joyment of others by our own; third,
to expect uniformity of opinion in this
world; fourth, to look for judgment
and experience in youth; fifth, to en-
deavor to mold all dispositions alike; :
sixth, to look for perfection in our
own actions; seventh, to worry our
selves and others with what cannot
be remedied; eighth, to refuse to yield
in immaterial matters; ninth, to re-
fuse to alleviate, so far as 1t lies in
our power, all which needs allevia-
ton; tenth, to refuse to make allow
ance for the infirmities of others

PIONEER EDuCUTOR DIES
MRS. JOHNSTON WAS ACTIVE IN
SCHOOL AND VILLAGE AFFAIRS
Former Dean of Women at oberlin
o., College Came In Contact With
Thousands of Girls.

Oberlin, O.-Mrs. Adelia A. Field
Johnston, one of the figures of
the life of Oberlin, both college
and village, is dead here at the age
of 73. Mrs. Johnston was one of the
figures of this community because, in
the 40 years of activity which she
had given it, she so impressed upon
town and college the characteristics
of her personality that they cannot
be forgotten.
Her 30 years as head OF the wom-
ems department of Oberlin college
made Mrs. Johnston seem one of the
pioneers of co-education, so long had
she outstayed in harness the fellows
of her earlier days. In those 80 years
she came in contact with thousands
of girls, every one of whom carried
away with her memory of the dean
of the department.
From the time she entered the pre-
paratory department of Oberlin In
1850, at the age of 13, Mrs. Johnston
was known as teacher. In the
early days of her education, she at
tended school for half the year and
taught through the other half. Thus,
at 13, she was an educator. With the
exception of two years of study in
Germany and a score or more Jour-
neys to the old world, she was at
work until 1907, when she resigned
her chair of medieval history under
the Carnegie foundation. Seven years
before that she had resigned the
heavy duties of dean of women. 1t
was in 1859 that there began the
brief married life which left Mrs.
Johnston a widow. Her husband, a
fellow teacher, enlisted in the Union
army and died in camp before his
regiment could go into action. Since
1900, when she resigned the dean
ship, Mrs. Johnston had been es
pecially active in the village i'm
provement society.

New York City.-Mrs. Nicholas

smoke cigarets and encourage the
habit, to the ruin of many foolish
girls who believe it smart to follow
their example," Miss Page said.

OVER S600,0OO

ROBBERY OF Russo-CHINEsE
BRANCH RIVALS ALVoRD
CASE IN MYSTERY.
INSPECTOR suspicious ANOTHER MAN
Believes Individual Was Behind the
Missing Cashier Who 10 Charged
With Having Stolen Bonds
From institution.

New York City.-The biggest New
York bank defalcation since the
famous Alvord case is that of Erwin
Wider, cashier of the New York
branch of the Russo-Chinese bank,
who is charged with having stolen
more than 100000 worth of securi-
tics. e. Markowski, now in charge of
the New York branch, says he Is con-
vinced that there was another person
outside the bank interested in the
thefts and promises sensational dis
closures should the clews he holds
materialize into facts.
when Wider entered our employ"
said Mr.. Markowski, "he was a mod
est, exemplary clerk. Within the past
year, 1 am convinced some man Of
strong mentality and force of char
acter has gained an influence over
him and changed his whole nature. I
am not prepared to say that / know
who this man Is, but l am satisfied
that Wider did not steal of his own
volition or on his own initiative. We
shall institute suits to recover from
two Wall street brokerage houses the
securities they obtained from Wider.
They must have known that he did
not own them. They should have
known that he stole them"
WANTED: Erwin Wider, about
80 years old, five feet five inches in
height. Weighs about 1876 pounds
swarthy of complexion, with small
black mustache curled at the ends
Wears rimless nose glasses, talks
with German accent and is timid in
address"
Such is the general alarm sent out
by the police for the missing cashier
of the Russo-Chinese bank, although
oddly enough, the district attorneys
office said that no aid had been asked
of it by the bank and that no applica
tion for a warrant had been filed
This contradiction is only one in 6
series that have kept step with every
development of what is now admitted
to be the most puzzling and the mos
serious defalcation in the history O

stole S606,000 from the First Nationa
bank, served term in Sing Sing anC
