EACH TO HIS OWN PURSUIT
Disposition to Deprecate What Is Not
ours Shows Deficiency in
Appreciation.

Tie disposition to deprecate what
is moi .urs Is often shown with re-
gard to pursuits in lie. 1t Is right
ana best that each person should
follow some special occupation, IN
which he should strive for excellence
1t is not s"lpnOsable that be- can
know as much. or be equally inter
ested in. any other pursuit. But, Tor
this very reason, it is incumbent upon
him to be modest and unassuMlns'
willing to observe and ready to ac-
cord respect 10 that which is plainly
out of his power to perform. on the
contrary. how frequently are such aYo-
cations made the subjects OF con
temptuous remarks and sighting al
lusionsi There are professional men
who look down upon business as a
mere moneymaking affair, and busl-
ness men who look down upon the
professions as Offering no sure road to
wealth. There are philosophers VINO
despise the practical walks OF lie
and practical men who have nothing
but contempt to give to philosophy.
There are scientific men dealing only
with established facts, who can ac-
cord no respect to ideas, and idealists
who have no patience with the tangi'
bic details of science, There are men
carrying the burdens of state who
sneer at poetry. and poets who dis
dain all knowledge of politics. What
does all this prove? Not certainly
any superiority in one or the other,
but a deficiency in the power of APP
preciation-not any peculiar depth in
one direction. but a decided narroy
ness in another.

CHURCH LIGHTED BY WIND
Novel Method Employed to illuminate
Sacred Edifice Near Birming-
ham, England.

- 1874 -
Probably n Of the most novel
methods of providing lighting for a
church is that employed at the old
Cosely church, situated a few miles
out from Birmingham, England.
About 600 feet from the church is
the mouth of a disused coal mine,
around which are huge piles of tail
ings. Upon one of these a steel tower
60 feet high is erected and q windmill
18 feet in diameter installed. At the
base of the tower in a small house is
an electric generator which is run by
the mill. The current thus generated
feeds q lamps in the church, two in
the chapel, two in the vestry; operates
a motor for pumping the pipe organ,
and also lights 80 lamps in the rec
tory. A storage battery in the rectory
is a part of this unique lighting plant.

Voorhees,, When Member Of the Upper
House, Obtained Position for Ac-
Quaintance That Literally Made
Him Put on Harness.

When Daniel w. Voorhees,, the Tall
Sycamore of the Wabash" entered the
federal senate in 1877 as the successor
of Oliver P. Morton. the great war gov
ernor Of Indiana. he was probably the
most widely known Democrat in lndi-
ana, and certainly the most popular
member of his party in that state.
He was especially familiar in Wash
ington. for he had already served II
a as member of the lower house
OF congress. He was one of the con-
spicuous figures in the senate from
the day he took his seat there until
the last day of his third and last term.
Voorhees, was a man of massive fig
ure, very broad-shouldered. the tallest
member of the senate, with a very
large head set firmly. a shock OF
sandy-brown hair, and a reddish beard.
He settled down int n Of the most
solemn of senator's. but he did not
maintain the reputation as a public
speaker which he had gained In lndi-
ana. a reputation greater to the voters

Took Terrible Revenge.

At Purtici, Italy, recently, a woman
tenant named Giannetti revenged her
self in a terrible name upon her
landlady, who had given notice Of a
ten per cent. rise in the rent Deter
mined neither to pay nor quit, Clan
netti went to the landlady's house
armed with a big bread knife, saying
she wished to settle her account. No
sooner did the unsuspecting landlady
appear than the cunning tenant threw
a handful of cinder dust in her eyes
and then spring upon the victim, kill
ing her with stabs. The murderess
thence took a train to Naples and sur
rendered herself to the police. her ex-
cuse being that the rent had been
raised thrice in the space of a few
months and she was no longer able to
maintain her family of three children

Robert J.. Wynne's Little Experience
With Official Documents on the
Dav When He Became Post
master General.

Mai. Charles De Lano Hine Of V1r-
ginia. organization expert. a graduate
of West Point, an officer in n OF the
regiments serving in the Spanish war,
and later prominently associated with
Vice-President julius Kruttschnitt OF
the Union Pacific Railroad system,
was called to Washington some months
ago to work out a plan for the e
ganization of the various departments
upon a symmetrical and economic
basis. Major Hine was assigned a
room in the White House and after a
thorough study of the matter he pre-
pared his report, which has not yet
been acted upon.
One of the evils in the departments
of Washington is the custom OF long
standing and far reaching practice
which permits chief clerks, or even
subordinate clerks. to sign documents
or communications purporting to have
been read and approved by superior
officers, even cabinet members. 1t
was Major Hines purpose completely
10 eliminate this method and to per-
feet an organization which would
make it possible, or, in fact. inevitable.
that every superior officer should
know the contents Of any paper re-
curing his approval and should sign
his own name to it.
When Robert J. Wynne of Pennsyl-
vania was postmaster general. In
President Rcosevelt's first administra-
ton, he had an experience of which he
was very forcibly reminded when he
heard what Major Hines intentions
were. For many years Mr.. Wynne
was a newspaper correspondent at
Washington. He knew Washington
life, political and public. as thorough
~ as it is possible for any mar to
know it. He gained a very high repu-
tation for integrity and for s%oundness
of Judgment. These were the qualif1-
cations which justified his appoint
ment as private secretary to Charles
Foster, secretary Of the treasury in

Was Ordered to "SSiign Thar

Harrison's administration. and later
as postmaster general.
Towards the close of office hours
of the day after 1 qualified for n re-
ceived my commission as postmaster
general" said Mr.. Wynne, "a clerk
came into my Office with a mass Of
documents about a foot thick, l should
think. and put them upon the desk
before me. l took up the first paper,
ran my eye over it, put it to one side
and said l would look it over later
in the day, or some time the next
day. Then l took up the second
document and did the same thing
with it.
"At last it struck me that here was
an appalling mass of documents each
one of which l was expected to exam
inc and then sign. l realized that it
would take me practically an entire
business day-perhaps longer-to do
that one thing. and I also realized
that there was something wrong with
the system that made this necessary.
'"As l sat bordering the matter
over. wondering what l should do
about it. the clerk advanced to the
desk. took a per. dipped it into the
ink, and then, having unfolded the
first document. and SO arranged it that
the last page was before me, he hand
ed me the pen, at the same time put
ting his finger upon a blank space at
the bottom Of the document. Then he
looked at me sternly, as one having
authority. and calculated:
"'Sign thar
Mechanically l signed thar" and
then he unfolded another document,
went through the same motions, looked
at me again with authority and said
once ore
"'Sign thar!'
II did SO: and in that automatic
manner I. the new postmaster general,
signed thar my rama 70 thirty CT
forty documents of the contents of
which l had not the slightest idea.
Later I was able, to improvise a
method by which l had an abstract of
the documents l was expected to sign
placed before me, SO that | could get
some idea of what the documents o
tanned"

SO he himself took the statement,
analysed it. saw that it contained a
perfect v~indication and then spent the
greater part of the night writing out
a statement Of his own. There were

these statements.
Tear them up said Mr.. Cleye-
land, they we're never published and
there is no reason for keeping them
But said l. they have very great
historic value.
No; silence and public opinion
perfectly indicated the attorney gen.
eral. 1t was the wiser part not to
publish these statements. If they are
destroyed, that ends the incident.

PITlFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

GA few days after birth we noticed
an infamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best. in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh SO rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until / commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and l had been putting n
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. I don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until I would treat him, they
seemed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (SigneG) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.
\ Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book, will be mailed free

Garland Vindication Unused

nuke a reply. The scandal was a
matter of public discussion for some
months. but at last it died out.
NOW, | am able to tell you what
the climax. or the sequel, of that mat
ter was" Mr.. George F.. Parker, Mr..
Clsveland's intimate friend and bio
grapher. told me recently. After Mr..
CleVeland's first term was ended, he
a Gil of his documents and papers
sent to a house he had taken in New
York. The rubbish as he called it,
was deposited in an unused upuer
room. There it lay for several years.
Then. as Mr.. Cleveland was to move
into another house, it seemed to him
pest that this mass of documents
should be sorted and most of them
burned or sold for waste paper after
having been torn up. We shut our
selves up in that room for nearly a
week. only leaving it to get our meals
and seek our beds. Mr.. Cleveland
ruthlessly destroyed a lot of docu-
ments that l was sure had historic
value. but he thought not.
AT last he discovered in a large
envelope some manuscript. Taking it
therefrom. he told me that here was
the statement prepared by Attorney
General Garland in vindication of him.

other statement on the case which
Mr.. Cleveland himself had prepared.
