logi cal
For years he has been moving
among criminals of all descrip-
tons. raising them to q re. pectable
position and starting them again
along the path Of virtue. His
method. a little peculiar, is very
simple. He meets the crimi nails
on his own level, extracts a con-
fession from him, gets his con-
fidence and treats him as an equal.
For drug fiends. drunkards and
that class of criminals he obtains
medical treatment, establishes them
in good physical health, gets them
a job and places them on q footing
level with the active. selfYespect-
ing world. They respect this
treatment and treat him square in
turn, seldom if ever do they 20
back to their former life of crime.
This kind of work our novel Good
Samaritan considered recreation
and adventure, and the good works
he has done along these lines can
never be estimated. Seldom does
he fail in converting case and
the most unique side of his methods
is that he entertains these poor
fallen ones at his home with all
the honor and respect due to men
and women of honor and good
reputation. The drunkard, drug
fiend, safe breaker, Magdelen and
professional crook are all repre-
sented among his converts.
The strangest thing about this
man is that he refuses to let his
whereabouts or identity be known
to the general public. He prefers
to work silently and unknown to
fame.-Exchange.

BATHTUBS FOR MULES

A huge concrete bathtub, some
forty feet long, and few inches
more than four feet deep. has been
installed in the Henry colliery of
the Lehigh Valley Coal company
at Plans. Pa, for the accommoda-
ton of the mine mules.
This unique mine improveme mt
is built at the entrance of the mule
barn. The long cared beasts are
pretty tired when they conclude
the days work, but when they
strike the bath all fatigue dis
appears and they rush in, crowd
ing each other for the deepest
place in the tub.
The bath is expected to prolong
the vigor and vitality to the mules.
The driver boys are absolutely in
sympathy with the innovation, the
bath keeping them in the mine ten
or fifteen minutes longer than be-
fore. yet the enjoyment of their
dumb charges seem even to Offset
this incontenie nee to great
extent.

THE PARABLE OF TEN

A teacher put ten facts into a
boys mind. and when he returned
a few months later, to see if the
facts were still there, he is pleased
to find that the boy remembered
them. He paid the boy a high
compliment on the pos. ession of a
mind that could hold knowledge so
securely and deliver it I'D on
demand with such prompt and
beautiful exactness! Another
teacher gave another boy ten facts
and some time after he also tested
the boy to see what had happened.
He fund that from the ten he had
given the boy there had grown q
large number of other fact. He
made mo further inquiry, for he
was not interested to know whether
the facts he had given him wer:
still there or not. He saw that the
purpose for which they rad been
put in the boys and was working
out all right and there his interest
ended.

A HINT

You needn't be rich to be good.
You needn't be great to be kind.
Big things you would do if you
could,
But shirk not the small ones you
fnd.
Waste never chance to be sweet
BY dreaming of what you would
do
If fortune should fall at you feet
Be kind with what's given to you.
For it's not in the substance you
give
Or the size of the gift you
bestow;
The poorest and humblest may live
The kindest lives here below.
Sweet charity's born of the heart
And not of the purse full of gold.
The point is: Do you do your part
With what has been given you to
hold?
Don't say that If riches you had
You'd make many happy today.
Right now you can make people
glad
If only you'll see it that way.
Be kind to the ones that you meet,
Be gentle considerate and true;
Do the most in the home or the
street.
With what has been given to you.

MAIL CARRIED THROUGH AIR

The first attempt to use the
aeropIane in the United States
for the carrying Of mail will be
made at New York City in the
near future and upon its success or
failure largely depends the
broadening of the fieldIof activities
of the air craft.
The postmaster of New York
has applied for and received from
the postal authorities the right to
make a flight from the deck of an
ocean vessel after it has passed
fifty miles from shore and cary to
New York sacks of mail prepared
by passengers after leaving shore.
The only restriction made by the
postal department is that the
writer's of these letters are warned
that they can have no possible
redress if the trip proves a failure
and the mail is lost.
Aviators are eargerly awaiting
the result of this experiment and
it il believed that if the mail
pouches are safely landed in New
York City, the use of the aero
planes for the carriage of mail
will shortly become widespread.

FOREIGN BANKERS
Defer ACTION ON
BILLS OF LAD|NG
Make New Proposal to Ameri-
can Bankers, That Railroads
Establish Central Office as
Sort of Clearing House

A letter was received yesterday by A.
P. Coles, cashier of the Central Bank and
Trust Corporation, from a bank in Liv-
erpool. England, informing him that Eu-
ropean bankers have proposed to the
American Bankers association that the
question Of protecting cotton bills of
lading be settled by railroads In the Uni
ted States establishing a controlling, or
central. ONCE to which reports should be
they are issued. Banks could then COM
municate with this office and be as
sured of the validity of any bills of lad
ing they might be handling.
A committee from the American Bank
ers' association will consider this propo-
sition and either accept or reject it. II
they accept it, the railroads will then
pass on it.
Bankers in Atlanta seem TO think that
there Is little doubt about the Ameri-
can Bankers association accepting this
proposition. They think that the ap-
prevail of the proposition really depends
upon the railroads; and they do not be-
lieve that the railroads will withhold
their approval.
1t is thought now that this proposition
of European bankers will really solve
the question of protecting bills of lading.
In the letter acquainting Mr.. Coles
with this proposition, he was also in
formed that European bankers have
indefinitely deferred taking any final
action on the question Of bills of lading,
In the fall European bankers announced
that after October 81 they would demand
that American banks guarantee the va
nd.ty of cotton bills of lading. National
banks are prohibited by the national
banking laws from giving such guaran-
tees and other banks were unwilling to
accede to such demand
Shortly before October 81, European
bankers announced that they would de-
fer final action until December 81, but
that after that time they must insist
on guarantees from the American banks.
They have now abandoned this de-
mand for the time being at least, sug-
costing in its place the proposition that
the railroads establish a controlling of
hce and indefinitely deferred taking any
final action.
Mr.. Coles has not been informed at
what time the committee from the Amer
lean Bankers association will meet to
consider the proposition of the European
bankers.
Cotton men have not been seriously
concerned about what European bank
ers would do after December 81; but
the news that an apparently practicable
solution of the bills of lading problem
has been hit upon will be welcome.
The bulk of the cotton crop is now
being moved and cotton buyers and
banks are busy handling It. One bank
yesterday was handling 1900 bales Bills
of lading are being received just as they
always were, without any additional
guarantee
