Nurses Find Cupid in the Sick Room

I INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-The trained
l nurse appears to play more prom
inert part in the romantic news of the
day than any other professional wom-
an. Hardly . day passes but the news
papers chronicle some marriage, will,
love affair or litigation in which a
trained nurse figures. Miss Eleanor
Peregrine, who nursed Walter E. Dur
yea, the New York youth with bro
ken neck for twelve years, is, by
agreement among the Duryea rela-
ives, to receive the 100000 bequest
left her in his will Miss Ida Corey
Murphy, who nursed Chalmers Dale, Q
stock exchange broker, two years, is
suing for 100000 for her services, be-
cause Mr.. Dale didn't remember her in
his will. The marriage of John Eller-
ton Lodge, son of United States Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, to Miss Car
rie Catherine Connolly, a trained nurse
who attended him a year, is another
proof that Venus in nurses cap and
gown is most enticing siren.
Charles E. Halliwell, of the Ameri-
can Tobacco company, married Miss
Ruth Alice Cole, who had been sum-
moned to nurse him in New York city
after severe operation in 1906. The

n HICAGO-Chicago has the oldest
" street car conductor and the old
est street car motorman in the world,
both in age and point of service.
They are Michael Moran, sixty-six
years old, conductor, and Patrick
Brady. sixty-five years old, motorman.
They started driving the same car in
1864 and are still working together on
West Sixty-third street, from Central
Park avenue to Fifty-sixth avenue.
Their first car was an old bus
mounted on trucks and hauled by
horses. That was soon after Chicago
adopted street cars Within few
years from then the first regular horse
cars were operated in Chicago, and
the old buses were abandoned. Then
Moran and Grady got a regular run
on State street.
Moran and Grady have worked on
all of the old routes, and, with the ex-

Women Said to Be Real Home Wreckers

II ANSAS CITY, Mo.-Woman, not
n man, is the real home-wrecker, ac-
cording to statistics that are being
compiled from the divorce court rec
ords of the state of Kansas. So far
as the statistics show. so per cent. of
the divorce suits now pending are
brought by wives, while virtually the
same percentage of the suits are
brought on so-called trivial charges.
such as ineompatibility of temper, quar-
rels and other allegations which do
not charge infractions of the moral or
civil laws.
Previous statistics show that in
Jackson county, in which Kansas City
is, there were three suits for divorce
filed for every five marriage licenses
issued, and this startlingly high per
centage prompted an investigation in
to divorce statistics. 1t was found that
while so per ceL.. of the plaintiffs
were women and so per cent. of their
suits were brought on trivial charges,
that less than 10 per cent. of the suits
filed by the men were based on the
trivial charges, while 90 per cent. were
based on the more serious charges OF
desertfon, immoral conduct or neglect

Foreigners a Problem for New York

the typical American. 1t is doubtful
whether American institutions near
much to them. Foreign thoughts, pur.
poses, ideals, business methods, man
ners and customs are swapping the
city.
In spite of the very considerable
number of high grade American peo-
pie who live and do business in New
York, they do not form percentage
sufficiently great to control conditions
in any effective way. There is a tre-
mendous prevalence of crime, fnsol-
ence, incompetence and ignorance.
The number of persons now in the
city who in Italy belonged to the Grim
inal classes is probably to be reckoned
in the thousands. In the trolley cars,
in the subway, In the department
stores and even in the great new IL
brary one will find incompetence and
inattention upon the part of employees
with respect to their duties towards
the passenger or visitor.
AS one moves about and comes into
contact with New York employees he
will be fortunate indeed If he does not
suffer from their bad manners, not
to say insolence. Probably some OF
this is due to the conditions of a great
city, and would occur even under the
best of circumstances. However, the
presence in the city OF such enormous
masses of ignorant and incompetent
ideals and purposes, cannot help hav-
ing tremendous and bad influence
upon others. The conditions in New
York really constitute very great

IDEAS OF ANARCHY ARE MANY
Various Groups Have Opposing Theo
ries as to Its Idea and
Its Effects.

The word ANARCHY was first used
in the French form by Proudhon in
1870 when he published a pamphlet
entitled, What Is Property" But the
basic ioea of anarchy dates far back
of that point in history, for the world,
it may safely be said, has always had
its NAL contents and it's revolution
aries.
At the present time the word sim
ply serves TO designate a group Of
theories. many of them coming down
from the dim past and not a few of
them visionary and impractical, &C
cording to economic authorities. There
are several definitions of anarchy.
each representing a different group Of
theorists. The idealist says 1t Is abso-
Lutte individualism in both thought and
social activity.
Another group says that anarchy Is
an economic and social system where

Still another defines true anarchy as a
communistic organization of indi-
viduals with perfect freedom and
equality obtaining among themselves
to produce and barter without restric-
ton, the backbone of it being COM
bined resistance to all existing forms
of order, law and government
An authority on the subject says
that anarchy comprises all attempts to
destroy the existing social order, with
out reference to any system of recon
struction. and by resorting to any
means, fair or foul. by which indi-
viduals or institutions representing
constituted authority may be sup
pressed. This, it may be added, rep
resents the popular conception of an.

Knowledge and Faith.

There is a beautiful old legend Of
knowledge, strong mailed knight
tramping over the great table land
that he surveyed, testing and making
his ground sure at every step, while
beside him. just above the earth,
moved the white-winged angel of
Faith. Side by side they moved till
the ground broke short off, on the
verge of a vast precipice, and Knowl-
edge having nothing upon which to
step had to stop. There was no foot
ing for the ponderous knight, but the
white-winged angel of Faith moved
straight on across the chasm.
