NARY soErAG. HEROINE,

Mary Sontag of Chicago does not
know she Is heroine.
She does not even know what the
word heroine means.
But she is n heroine just the same.
Mary is abouf nine years old. Her
mother died year ago. and. besides
Mary, thre are six Mike.
aged eight: Rosie. seven: George, six I:
Susie. i've; David. three; Pinkie. two.
Mary mothers them ALL
She gets up at daybreak to cook her
fathers breakfast SO that he may go
TO his work. Then she helps to dress
Nike and Rosie and George and get
them OF TO school. After that she
feeds and washes Susie and David and
Pinkie.
That Is not all.
Besides being mother. Mary is inan-
cier and general manager OF the Son
tag solidarity.
dren's clothes and washes and mends
their garments. She gets all her IA
theirs wages except what is reserved
for his pipe and his car fare.
Mary makes every cent count. The
neighbors say the Sontag kiddies are
always tidy and clean and that you
could eat or the door OF Mary's kitch-
en-.
Mary cannot read or write.
You see. she has been too busy being
a heroine. She had to learn other
things than books, The mother was
delicate. and Mary had to help with
the big brood. And as Superintendent
and financial director OF the Sontag in
terests she has been exceedingly busy.
Can you deny that this little slip OF
an Irish lass. with her busy brain and
hands and motherly heart, is less than
q heroine?
The fact Is we need either a new
definition or a new Interpretation Of
the word heroism.
A hero or heroine In our ordinary
definition Is one who does the unusual
or the startling deed, whereas you
will more often find the real heroism
In doing with smiling face the usual or
ordinary thing, and doing 1t over and
over.
The heroism that iabors quietly. sac
ri6ces willingly. suffers gladly and per-
sists in such labors and sacrifices to
the end-that is genuine heroism.
Let the frenzied financiers rage. Let
the near great strut in their pride.
Let the censorious preach their nasty
pessimism. 1t matters not. because
The glory and blessing of the race
are its everyday Mary Sontags.

LAWYERS IN GERMANY.
They Cannot Advertise, and Their Fees
Are Fixed by Law

sheJ Sannot HoNeruse., and Their Fees
Are Fixed by Law.
The German law fixes the exact fees
which a German attorney has to claim
for all kinds of professional work. and
the rechtsanwalt can charge neither
more nor less.
These fees apply to all matters OF
the civil code and OF criminal cases.
The amount. according TO the Green
Bag. depends exclusively on the value
of the object OF contention.
II Is an old though still unfulfillcd
wish Of German lawyers 10 have n
new fixed list OF fees, not made after
the old and low standard OF the year
1879. but made with consideration to
the changcs-the numerous decided
changes-whicb have taken place since
that year.
The rcchtsanwalt Is attorney and
counselor at lay all I'm one lin England
aoljcitor and barrister). The rechtsan-
walt can never be business man, as
Is the case in the United States.
The exercise Of the law Is not to be
considered calling OF profession, but
is to be looked on more as a public
Office. According to the lawyers code
Of the LIST of July, 1873, a lawyer Is
charged publicly With certain duties.
He is obliged to have his residence
In the town or district where he is ap-
pointed ESQ called residence duty.
Further, he must conduct himself IN
and out Of ONCE In a way betting his
professional and social standing-i. g.,
duty due TO his rank. Thus n lawyer
Is forbidden TO advertise I'm newspa-
pers. by canvassing. etc. or to buy
or take over a practice already made
as being unworthy of his calling.
His position in society is between
officials and scholars, and through GUS
tom and law he IS compelled to keep
the position TO the last degree This
compulsion to keep ones rank has
given rise 10 the existence OF COM
mittees called anwaltskammern, whose
duty 1t Is TO keep a strict watch that
no lawyer dishQnors his calling. These
committees have a strict code of pun
ishment, ranging 10 complete expul-
sion from ONCE. In this way the law
yers In Germany have a good and hon.
ored position. In fact, there IS scarcely
a country In which the lawyer enjoys
more respect and confidence.

An irish kina Of Portugal

An lrishmsn was once king OF Por-

In Portugal. brought about by the ty-

The crown was offered to the Duke Of

The DAY OF JUDGMENT.

What wili'you do on de Judgment day9-
Negro Melody.
Any day Is likely TO be a day OF
Judgment
Any day the strain OF trial may be
put upon you.
In his eloquent way Carlyle says that
when the clock or time strikes the man
and the hour appear.
Surely. But sometimes the hour
comes and the man disappears Some
times the clock of time strikes and
the man is too weak to answer "Here.'
When the boy Lincoln stood by his
mothers grave. ragged and miserable:
when bis sweetheart died. when be
was beaten by Douglas. those were his
days of Judgment. He was being
chastened into greatness.
Washington had his day OF Judgment
at Valley Forge.
When Columbus. despite the threat
OF mutiny. boldly ordered The ships to
sail on" Il was his day OF Judgment.
We do not know when our day OF
trial may come. II would not bc fair
to the others IL we did know. for
neither did they know their day OF
strain.
Any day great opportunity may
come.
Or u crushing sorrow
Or some awful temptation.
When the great opportunity comes
shall we he strong enough to seize, II ?
When the great sorrow ovcrwhehnls.
will the bent bow lee strained to rhe
point of breaking?
When the stress of temptation pulls.
will the metal OF mauhood stand the
strain?
We need not worry so much about
some great judgment day where he.

we shall go as trembling and unwilling
culpriis.
II we bravely and rightly shall have
met our days OF Judgment here. moth

Do not wait until rhe trumpet shall
sound snd the dead shall rise in their
graves and the Judge OF the quick
and the dead shall ascend his throue.
IL will then be all too late 20 plead.
The record will have been made. and
from that record there can be no APP
peal. no stay OF Judgment.
So live that whatever day may be

into the record that you were adjudged
as guilty by default
Then reverently. but boldly. you may

THE GOOD sAMARIrANs-

This is true story about Presby-
terrain. Catholic, Methodist and a
Jew.
1t happened i'm the city OF Des
Moines, la.
The Presbyterian. an old man. after
a few days OF illness died
His next door neighbor on one side
was Hebrew, on the other side a
member Of the Methodist church. and
the neighbor the second door away a
Catholic.
During bis illness these neighbors
took turns about caring for the old
gentleman, whose wife was a semi
invalid.
Ihere was no help In the household
save that rendered alternatel. by the
Jew, the Catholic and the Methodist.
Tor this story did not occur In 1.-The
best part Of the city. All the parties
were comparatively poor.
When the old man was diving there
was neither minister nor priest at the
bedside, and the broken hearted old
wife asked IL some one could not offer
a prayer.
Reverently the Methodist repeated
the Lords Prayer, and the others
Joined.
Together the Methodist and Catholic
and Jew prepared the body for burial
and made all the arrangements for the
fnterment.
BY request OF the wife a Presby-
terrain minister was present at the fu-
neral and read the burial service.
There was but one relative of the
dead-a daughter living In Chicago
44a the funeral cortege consisted only

or the daughter and the families Of the
Catholis. the Methodist aud The lew.
Moreover
Those three neighbors are taking the
same care OF the old wife-tbrough
their wives-that they gave the hus-
band. And when IL was suggested sS.A.
the invalid wife go 10 the poor farm,
the three families protested and said
IL necessary they would take her 60
one OF their homes.
And daily little delicacies such as
these families can spare from rather
meager store are carried to the old
wife.
That's all.
Only this-twenty- 1--WE years ago such
an incident could scarcely have hap
pened.
And the moral? Why. the moral is
on the surface Of the story. You can
make your own application.
You can say the world Is surely
growing tolerant and charitable and
kind. or you can say that such an in.
cident could take place only among the
poor. or
The story alone is good enough with
out any preaching.
