aeroplane dashed into crowd of spec

bodied in successful combination the
qualities Of statesman and business
man. Fondness for politics led him
into public life when young man,
and he had taken a conspicuous part 10
the last twenty years. At the same
time he followed his business MS broker
at the bourse and did it 50 well that
he accumulated large fortune. His
| friends hoped to make him candidate
for president in 1913.
| This was his second term In the war
ministry, having been first appointed
to the post when General Andre was
forced out in 1904. Only three civilians
had ever held that post before him. but

showed close acquaintance with the Of

Berteaux's activities In the chamber
of deputies date from 1893. He at.
tached himself TO the Socialist group.
Having a sonorous voice and pleasing

TOLERANCE.

Tolerance is a calm, generous re-
spect for the opinions Of others,
even the opinions Of ones enemies.
Tolerance is silent justice blended
with sympathy. Tolerance always
implies wisdom and kindness. 1t
seeks to convert others from error
by gently raising them to higher
ideals by honestly leading them TO
broader lines Of thinking and by pa
tiently helping them to help them
selves. Tolerance does not use the
battering ram of argument or the
club Of sarcasm or the deadly rapier
Of ndicule.

May Kill You.

May Kill You.
Can you make your brain your MUIR
derer or your rescuer?
Some of the episodes of the studies
of the brain and the nerves have been
intensely tragic. In Warsaw recently
the Polish novelist Reymont was to be
tried for having written short story
that criticised the government A local
attorney, famed for the success with
which he predicts the results of trials
long before the decisions are rendered,
was asked what would be the outcome
Of Reymont's case.
II can't tell that" he answered, "but
i do know that the judge who tries
him will die suddenly"
The prediction became generally
known, and such was the dread in
which the local prophets predictions
were held that every judge endeavored
to avoid the bringing of the charges.
On Judge Fabricius, who was a close
student of the supernatural, the re-
luctant duty fell. He acquitted Rey-
mont, 1t was believed, in the hope Of
averting the fate foretoId. Neverthe-
less within an hour after he had re-
turned to his home from the courtroom
he was found sitting in his chair stone
dead. Warsaw has now elevated the
lawyer who foretold the misfortune to
the heights Of an infalllble prophet,
but science, wherever the strange trag-
edy has been discussed. has unhesitat.
