There is in Germany what Is known
as the German Pedigree Book" or
"Deutsches Geschlechterbuch." The
purpose Of the pedigree book, accord
ing to a Berlin correspondent, is to
record the ancestry not Of mobiles.
but Of bourgeois persons who can
prove that they are Of genuine middle
class or working class ancestry and
have no noble blood In their veins.
The editor explains in his preface that,
while many German mobiles "out OF
court and material considerations have
not kept their blood pure. there are
many good business class families
which have managed to do So" By
thus encouraging the proper pride Of
such families the pedigree book is do
ing much to eradicate the traditional
envy of the mobiles.

tinue them you must return home,
where l will secure you a position as
bOokkeeper at your uncle's store"
Signed to this eloquent, brief epistle
was the name OF the young mans ia
ther.
Several years have passed since that
crumpled letter was picked up from
the floor Of the college students room
Several years have passed since an
aged couple. soon to exc out their
need of existence in a small country
town, have heard news from the son
who would not become minister
Several years have passed since a
young college student appeared penni-
less and discouraged in q middle west
ern city and vainly walked the streets
for days. subsisting as best he might,
in search of any kind Of work that
strong hands and arms could perform.
So there should be tempered judg-
ment shown, say l, in dwelling ON
the present fate Of Jimmy Valentine
when it is considered that he was the
ambitious lad who left the crumpled
note lying on the floor in his bedroom
and set out to fight the world single
handed.
That Jimmy should have lost in his
first grapple with life should afford
no reasonable person ground for re-
proach. Those Of us who have not
lost as yet quite humanity perhaps in
cline toward comparisons which favor
our own acknowledged virtues. but
at the same time the environment Of
our fellow beings at critical periods in
their lives should always be remem-
bered when the final estimate is made.
It is human to have human emotions
concerning some of our fellow men at
various times: but, after all, why not
adopt the optimistic philosophy of jim
my Valentine himself? For was it
not he who at the time Frisco Eddie"
bungled the INSIDE job" of a safe
looting expedition in Omaha sought to
soothe the latters feelings by saying
alphabetically:
Nobody is a failure until he admits
it himself You will never admit
you're a failure, Eddie. so cheer up.
You, therefore, can never be one"
Consequently Jimmy Valentine must
be given a chance His doctrine is the
doctrine of hope. Give him a chance
to apply it to himself and await IN
condemningly and dispassionately the
result.
If he succeeds in making a man of
himself, man such as his Creator in
tended him to be- who is there to say
that his past has anything in it to
concern critical world? Or who is
there to deny to Jimmy Valentine his
birthright if he should miraculously
redeem it?
But should he fail in the great test
well, perhaps 10 word should just
now be sent regarding him to the old
home in the little town, to the father
and the mother who would not under
stand
