ROMANCE ALL GONE
DEFINITE END PUT TO PLEAS
UREs OF IGNORANCE.
Exploration Of Previously Unknown
Portions of the Earth Has for the
Most Part Left People Sad
Iy D%isilIusioned.

A young English officer, equipped
scientifically for his task, has just gone
around that big black spot on the map,
Lake Tchad, and also has explored
thoroughly the lake and its islands. He
has added to human knowledge, but he
has not earned human gratitude, as he
has planted a cold, hard and uninter-
esting fact where a stimulating mys-
terry so long dwelt.
Tchad for generations had a place
among the great lakes, larger than
Erie but smaller than Huron, a magni-
f1cent expanse of water, hidden from
the white world by the great wilder
ness of Africa. The %unfeeling English
man has cut lit down from $4,000
square miles to less than 1000, even in
the rainy season, and he says that it's
average depth is not more than five
feet-in fact, that it Is only a huge
swamp, lar from pleasant to the eye.
Thus another illusion of middle-aged
and elderly people takes wings.
Whenever a new geographical fact is
ascertained there is loud acclaim. But
ought we to congratulate ourselves be-
cause all the world is being mapped,
measured, classified and strewed with
empty tin can and old newspapers?
Now that Peary has been to the north
pole it is not nearly so fascinating a
place as it used to be. The English, If
they a reach the south pole, may
have 1t and be welcome to 1t. We
have taken the gilt off one pole, and
that is enough for us.
Fifteen or eighteen years ago there
was a peak in the interior of New
Guinea a full half mile higher than
Mount Everest, and freside travellers
loved to dwell upon it's magnifcence,
but unromantic Germans in spectacles,
and probably pudgy, too, have proved
that SO far from being higher than
Mount Everest it is only half as high.
We do not thank them.
The great charm of the South Seas
lay in the vague, misty color of doubt
that overhung them. Any day a bold
New England skipper in his sailing
bark might happen upon a fine island
inhabited by a gentle grown race The
chance has passed forever. We know
all the islands, and we are selling
clothes and rum on every one of them.
Darkest Africa was far more inter.
esting to most men than an Africa
strung with railroad and telegraph
lines and dotted with tame lions. Can.
not the explorers leave us a few cor
ners Of the earth where fancy may
and romance have its hiding
place?

sELF-DENlAL OF MOTHERS
Called On to Make Sacrifices That
Should Come Back a Hundredfold
to Bless Them.

The story of a mothers sacrifices
is a pretty big one to exhaust in a
moment. Once there was a senator
who came to a public platform with
the opening remark: THE subject as
signed to me is The Immortality Of
the SOUL the time, three minutes"
To break right into the middle of this
question, then, are a mothers self-de-
malls sacrifices? The answer lies in
in the way the world views 1t and in
the way her children see 1t.
Now, the world will tell you, per-
haps, that she owes it to her children
to give up everything within reason
(and without it) to those who are her
responsibility; that it is without ques-
ton a sacrifice; and there the world
will stop. After this superficial sum
ming up on the part of the world, 1t
may be just as we'll that it should
step out and leave the floor to chill
dren and their mothers.
1t is undeniable that women have
gone through fire and water for chill
dren, and it is pitiably true that In
many instances their very own chill
dren have never known 1t. Women
have practiced self-effacement with a
blind devotion that meant the final IN
doing of those whom they would have
helped. This, then, Is sacrifce-un-
meaning sacrifice.
And then there is a holy thing not
quite self-abnegation, because it has
escaped that futile quality. 1t is de-
votion that is not blind, but in its Sc
curity has demanded something in re-
turn for what 1t gives. 1t saves those
who otherwise might have been its
victims.
Mother love that is strong in its in
sistence upon some return calls out
a just response and brings up men
and women instead of weaklings and
dependents.
Long days Of home-making that
might have drifted into drudgery, and
longer nights of weary nursing that
might have become slavery are saved
to the stronger woman by the appreci-
alton she has called forth. The host
of big things she has relinquished, and
all the little things she has passed on
to others, have come back a hundred
fold to bless her. So a mother sees
it; this is what sacrifice means to a
| devoted woman. She would assure
you there is no such thing.

Better Left Unsald,

Little Jane had been learning about
germs and other scientific things at

regarded by medical men as a danger
GUS pastime had been impressed upon
her young mind.

Robbinq the Sick.

Better than London, better than
Paris, better than Berlin, better than
any other large city in the world, New
York looks well after it's sick poor.
There are free hospitals and dis
pensaries by the score. Even in the
luxurious private hospitals there are
free beds. There are free institutions
for the care of contagious diseases,
free vaccination, free diphtheria
serum. There are funds for the care
of tuberculous patients without means.
Yet with all this public and private
charity, the hospitals and dispensaries
are constantly taxed to their capacity.
A large proportion Of the metropolitan
population, self-respecting and self
supporting, is able to care for itself in
times of health. With illness, however,
with the stoppage of wages that gen.
orally ensues, it often becomes en-
tirely impossible to supply medical
care and attention. It is for such per-
sons as these that the city's dis
pensaries are intended.
An investigation at Bellevue has
shown that frequently persons OF
means go there for treatment. I'm.
doubtedly this is true at many other
institutions. DR.. Brannan has asked
the board of estimate to pay an in.
vestlgator to detect such cases. His
request should be granted.
Persons with means to pay for med
ical care who p%atronize dispensaries
are robbing the sick. They should by
all means be exposed.-New Yorl

Shercliffe knew for weeks that an

to join in the plot. As a preliminary
step, he was to request Warden Ty-
nan to remove him from cell house

declining to join the plot Johnson
pledged Shercliffe to secrecy and
warned him that If he turned in

chance to see the wife and babies

kept his mouth closed, although he
could have frustrated the plot at any

THIS WILL KILL
PRAIRIE DOGS

Where it is desirable to kill prairie
dogs infssting small area, a very
effective method is 10 fumigate the
holes with Pintsch oil.
This is a by-product from the use
OF Pintseh gas in railroad cars, and
can be obtained at almost any rail-
road center where there is a Pintsch
gas factory. The price per gallon is
only about one-tentb that Of carbon
bisulfid
Three persons working together
can make the most progress with this
fumigant. One person should go
ahead and fill all the dog holes that
are evidently unoccupled. Another
man armed with can of the oil and
a sack of dried horse or COW chips
follows. 4 chip Is saturated with
about two tablespoonfuls of oil and
dropped into the mouth Of each hole.
It is well to push it back with a stick
SO that It will fall to the bottom. A
third person imm ed lately fills the
mouth of the hole with a clod of
earth. In this way q good many
acres can be treated in a day.
The evaporation of the gas In the
prairie dog hole suffocates any living
creatures there.
The glass is very inflammable and
care must be taken TO prevent fire
in any form from coming In contact
with It. Pipes and cigars should not
be used by those who are using the
poison.
1t is seldom possible TO kill all the
dogs with one treatment. The sec
ond fumigation takes very much less
time and material than the first. 1t
pays to make a clean job of the work
for II there are but a few of the dogs
left they will multiply SO rapidly that
II VIII soon be necessary to do the

Washington. May 3.-Leglslatiye
provision for special tax on pay
rolls to provide for insurance against
Tuberculosis was one of the sugges-
tions made by DR.. Lee X. Frankel at
the meeting of the advisory council
of the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis, which is holding its sixth au-
nual meeting in this city
Only two and one-half per cent of
all tuberculosis in New York City
comes from infected milk, butter or
meat from bovine sources, according
TO the statement made by DR.. William
Fl. Park of that city today before the
pathological section of the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
Vention of Tuberculosis, at its sixth
annual meeting. Moreover, said DR..
Park, this small percentage is found
mainly in children. In other words
pulmonary tuberculosis among adults
is contracted solely from human be-
fngs, and Is not the result of impure
milk or foods.
Dr. Park supported throughout his
paper the contention advanced by DR..
Robert Koch of Berlin, the discoverer
of the tuberculosis germ, when he
stood practically alone in declaring
that cattle did not transmit pulmon-
ary tuberculosis to human beings.
The Significance of these conclu-
sions, II was pointed out will be to
direct all the energy of the campaign
against tuberculosis to combating
the spread OF this disease among hui
man beings, by preventing splitting,
bad housing, overwork and other
conditions had for the health.
A paper which caused considerable
discussion was read before the socio-
logical section by James Jenkins, Jr.,
OF Brooklyn, today at the sixth an
Duai meeting of the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. Mr.. jenkins insisted
that the chief function of local anti
tuberculosis association was educa-
tional and not remedial. The society
must do its work by means Of ex-
hibits. lectures, posters, newspaper
articles, he said. and in many other
ways. Another function of the asso-
citation must be that of giving inspir- |
alton and suggestion to others. Mr.. |
jenkins contended that the tubercu-
losis committee in Brooklyn, of which |
he Is the secretary, had done its best |
work when 1t secured the assistance
of the city, private hospitals and 9TH
ers in doing work which the COM
mittee itself could never undertake.

York does not believe in the exhibi- |
tion of too much paternalism on the |
part of the state to the INDECENT con-
sumptive. particularly II that pater-
nalism be manifest In the form of a

Brophy, the ringleaier, to escape

imminent, the Lamar murderer took
the Leadville slayer into his conf
dence and invited him to be one of
the convicts to make the break for
freedom. Johnson explained the
scheme in detail to Shercliffe, who
