Shocking a snob.

Some years ago naval officer who
was in Chicago for several weeks max
ing q report on recruiting conditions
was noted for his arrogance and auto
cratic ways. One morning this officer
exchanged round of shots with a
coarse handed son of the proletariat
as follows:
The man, who had come into the Of
fee on some business relating to a
printing contract, approached the Off
Ger respectfully enough, but with some
lack in that personal address TO which
the latter had been accustomed. The
officer frowned heavily.
''Take off your hat!' he Numbered.
The other stared moment, then
burst into angry reply. "Why, blast
your heart" he suffered, take off my
hat to you? Not much! Why, fellow,
you're nothing but a policemanP-Chi-

sIlIcInE IS CONFESSION.

A young man threw himself into the
Chicago river. When policeman pull
ed him out he said he was driven to
the step. In his own words:
81 could not see my way through
life.n
Poor fool! He had $40 in his pocket,
was strong and healthy, and there was
no one dependent upon him.
Coward!
Suppose all who cannot see the way
through life should jump into the
water. What would become of the
census?
IT is not given to mortals to see the
end from the beginning. Who has a
map of the life expeditions in which
he is engaged? One may have plans,
but plans fall down. And often the
way grows misty Sometimes the stars
do not shine.
But
The forces that are for US are strong
er than the forces that are against US!

A Dwarf In a Pie,

Jeffrey Hudson. who was the favor
lite dwarf Of King Charles l. of Eng
land, was born in 1919 and died in
1852. His height was eighteen inches
until he attained the age of thirty
years, after which he shot up to three
feet nine inches. AT royal enter
tainment he was served up in pie,
from which he suddenly emerged in
full armor He was once affronted
by young man who had leased him
about a poem describing a battle be-
tween the dwarf and turkey cock.
This caused a duel between the two.
The weapons were pistols, and to put
them more on level both fought on
horseback. At the first fire Jeffrey
shot his antagonist dead. For time

Will money buy the song7
Will money buy anything really
worth while? A real song is mes
sage from the heart to the heart. It
may limp in its lines, and the tune may
be raggedly inept, but If it is a real
message it must have been born out of
deep emotions stirred to their depths
by some great crisis.
That is how 1.-THE Star Spangled

Francis Scott Key was prisoner
aboard British ship. and real bombs
were "bursting in air." Would he
see by 1.-THE dawn's early light what
SO proudly we hailed at the twilights

was written under like pressure.
The stirringly beautiful but terrible
hymn, with its martial swing and spir-
It, was born in the soul of Julia Ward
Howe as she heard the tramp Of the
troops on Virginia soil. Its stately and
heroic sentences could have been writ
ten only by daughter of the Puri-
tans in an atmosphere of 1865.

Wherefore the race owes them much.
They gave us something to look for

There's the Japanese.
Their history is the opposite. For

TWO INCIDENTS.

Patrolman Sweeney of Brock ave
nue., New York city, saw a thief COM
ing out Of u bakery. The robber car
ried his swag under his arm.
Sweeney grabbed the man and took
his plumber away from him. Mean
time the owner of the bakery stood
in the doorway crying Justify, pinch
himr
The bundle was opened, and Sweeney
found two loaves Of bread.
And then and there Patrolman
Sweeney deliberately violated the laws
made and provided. He did not ar
rest the thief.
Patrolman Edward Sweeney, fine
Irish cop that he Is, reached down
into his pockets for 10 cents. And
then-giory be-he paid the baker for
the stolen bread and sent the hollow
checked man straight home to his
starving family.
Any stickler for law enforcement
will tell you that it was Sweeney's
duty to drag the man to Jail and let
the family starve.
Louis Bailey of Chicago was raw
enously hungry. He stole 5 cents
worth of doughnuts. A patrolman
caught him red handed-sitting on a
park bench eating the stuff. He was
taken to the police station. But
On the bench was a judge with a
heart in him.
Said Municipal Judge SABBATH to
Bailey: 'You look like a good man,
and It is hard for a good man to go
hungry.
''I'm going to send you to the bride
well for two days. They will give
you all you can eat. Then they will
bring you back here. and / will send
you to a man who has agreed to give
you a job. You must work hard and
make good, then you will not need to
steal something to eat"
Now
Did Sweeney do right when he paid
the baker and let the man go back to
his family with the bread?
Did Judge SABBATH do right when he
gave Bailey a nominal sentence. got
him job and gave him good advice?
There's nothing in the laws telling
them to do this.
But Sweeney knew his man was not
a criminal. but good man out Of work
and with starving family. And
Judge SABBATH knew every normal man
would prefer to earn his bread rather
than to steal it
Therefore
In both these cases practical good
sense and humane feeling were Joined
to broad comprehension of duty and
Justice was tempered with mercy.
Give US more Judge Sabaths and
Patrolman Sweeneys!
