is the second prize entry in our next SUN
DAY MAGAZINE. 1t is particularly fine
one. The ideas in it are a good deal bigger
than the tale; but they are presented with
rare and absorbing skill. Never SO many wise
mothers will be glad to place it in the hands of
earnest, sentimental daughters eager for the
glory of reforming things, but whose capacity
isn't equal to their desire.
The weakness isn't confined to young
women inoculated with the altruistic bacillus.
There are few of us who had not rather
attempt the spectacular work we can't do,
pleading high purpose and purity of motive
in excuse, instead of really doing the small
things we can do well.

those restless souls who don't like serials will

they are lost, because the mystery makes an

HUMOR OF THE DAY
Turn of the Tide.

George II. Earle. the Philadelphia
financier. was talking in Washington
about high-overhigh or rank-tinance.
There's certain type of financier, :"
said Mr.. Earle, who in his greed for
wealth loses his humanity. He be-
comes, in fact, facsimile of Peter
Brown.
Peter Brown was a Conshohocken
grocer. He was delivering some
groceries in his wagon one morning
when he ran down and badly injured
an old lady. The old lady sued him
and got big damages.
well, a few months later Brown
was on his rounds again when he
ran down and crippled an old gentle
man. The old gentleman also sued,
and so large were the damages award
ed him by a generous jury that poor
Brown found himself actually on the
verge of ruin.
"One morning about this time
Browns young son rushed into the
shop in great excitement.
Father he cried-'father, mothers

feeling he exclaimed:

How "Aunt Kate" Made Her Money.

The secret of success in business is
the same in comparatively small af-
fairs as in large, and this is we'll il
lustrated in the case of a Columbus
(O.) woman, Miss Kate Yeiser, aged
79 years, who netted approximately
$4,000 by keeping boarders. She
has lately come to public attention
through a contribution of $4,000
toward the building Of a SNritualist
church. The story of her career, as
revealed to a reporter of the Ohio
State Journal, is worth telling. Miss
Yeiser came to the capital city of
Ohio in 1857 from Union City, Ind,
with $50. Without relatives or To-
cal acquaintance she started board
ing house in a building which she
was ultimately able to buy. Later
'she changed the locality of her es-
tabl1shment but she always had full
mouse, at times numbering 25 board
.ers. Here is the way she got on: Il

A Hero of the Monitor

Captain Louis N. Stoddar, who
has just died in Brooklyn, was on
the famous Monitor, first of Ameri-
can ironclads, from the date of her
launching in Greenpoint on Jan. 80,
1852, up to December 81 of the same
year when she sank in a storm off
cape Hatteras. He managed the
turret when she fought her famous
battle with the Merrimac and he is
credited with saving the vessel that
was towing the Monitor when she
sank by cutting the cable. At that,
seventeen men were drowned when
the cheese box on a raft" went to
the bottom,
Every school boy knows the i'm
portant part that the Monitor play
ed at Hampton Roads and in the
Civil War. But for her presence at
the physiological moment at the
point where she could check the con-
federate Rebel Monster" the latter
might have struck blows that would
have seriously affected the result of
the war.
The death of Captain Stoddar re-
calls few facts with regard to the
Monitor that are interesting at this
distance. Before she was launched
scores of experts had told John Eric
son, the inventor, that she would
sink when floated. She did not sink,
but she never was seaworthy. and
that was why she foundered in
Egale that would not have affected an
|ordinary craft.
The Monitor stood only three feet
above the water and the height of
her turrets was only nine feet. But
these turrets were of wrought iron
too thick to be pierced by guns of
that period, and she carried two
guns that were the best constructed
at that time. The great purpose that
she served was the discouragement
of the Confederates in the building
|of "Merrimacs," the restoration of
confidence in the Union, and the
of more Monitors per-
fectly seaworthy, which were the
very best floating fighters of that
time
