The tendency toward greater activity

Bravery In Battle Of the Famous
Author Of Don Quiiote.n


An incident of ahe battle Of Lepan.
to, which broke the power Of the
Turks in Europe, has an interest for
students of literature. "In the Mar
quesa galley"-we quote from Com
mander Curreys Sea Wolves IN the
Aiediterranean"-"was lying In his
bed, sick of fever. a young man
twenty years of age, Spaniard
of Alcala de Henares, the son of hon
orable parents, we are told, although
these parents We're poor When this
young man heard that battle was
imminent he rose from his bed and
demanded Of his captain, Francisco
San Pedro, that he should be placed
in the post of greatest danger. The
captain and others, mis- friends. coun
seled him to remain in his bed.

He was given command of twelve sol
diers in n shallop and all day was to
be seen where the combat ragged most
fiercely. He received two wounds in
the chest and another which cost him
the loss of his left hand To those
to whom he proudly displayed them In
after years he was accustomed to say

RELIC OF ANTIQUITY.
The Seal That Is So often Used or
Legal Documents.

SSSal CONhHiSftSs
A most absurd thing connected with
legal business is the little piece of red.
green or blue paper or dauh Of sealing
wax which we often place at the end
of signature to a deed. will or other
important document
1t is a very small thing In size, but
one to which a great deal Of impor,
tnuce Is frequently given. 1t Is relic
Of antiquity, and no plausible excuse
can be invented for continuing its use
Some of the more progressive states
have practically abolished its use by
legislation, which deprives 1t Of any
technical legal significance In others.
however, it is still used with all Sc
riousness and solemnity. and an al.
most magical value Is given to II by
dignified judges that is little less than
ridiculous.
A man died yeurs ago leaving part
Of his estate to another to enjoy while
he lived, with the privilege of devising
it at his death to others whom he
might select by writing under his
hand and seal" A writing was exc
cutcd so devising the property. but 1t
was contested by others claiming the
property upon the technical ground
that the paper contained no seal after
the signature and the devise was
therefore void.
A wise Philadelphia judge closely
scrutinized the signature and after
carefully listening to the arguments
of lawyers decided that at the end OF
the signature there was an extra
scroll or flourish made with the pen
with which the signature was made
and that this was sufficient In law to
constitute a seal.--Case and Comment

Brides as Business Women.

Certain husbands now contend that
brides should be educated In business
methods. They are not satisfied that
their wives are excellent cooks, SUI
perb houSekeepers and gracious and
tactful at the dinner table. They
think women also should be sufficient
ly acquainted with business to be

Importance Said one man: II think Il
wife should be educated in business.
My wife is a perfectly model woman
in every way except that she cannot
help me in any way In business mat
ter. She cannot understand business
simply because she never had any in
struttion in it. Now, If my wife had
studied little about architecture she
could have given me important advice
