VIRTUES REV ARD
Doing Vel to ones Self
BRINGS HIGHER Returns.

u know a woman. observed the person
who enjoys watching the world 20 by,
who never has any money to buy new
clothes. but always has enough money to
spend on her friends. Wedding presents,
Sits 10 the first baby, flowers for the sick
for such perpctualIy recurring calls as these
her purse is always ready to fly open. Yet
when it comes to buying a new suit or hat.
a pair Of gloves, or even getting her shoes
half-soled, she will calmly assure you that
she is dead broke; and she undoubtedly Is
right. She is far from being CrGsus'
and often cxhausts her supply Of cash and
, credit. for she has not infrequently been
known TO borrow from Peter in order to
give to Paul.
IF the beneficiary TauI. or rather his
feminine prototypes Jane and Susan. ap-
preciated her self-saCrifce and looked up
to her as a noble person, the onlooker
such as myself, could not Cavil at the situa-
ton. But they don't; they are much more
wont 10 regard the benefactor as good
natured harmless sort OF individual, who
eniovs throwing her money away on others,
so why not let her? 1t is strange that she
doesn't care for good clothes and pretty
things such as are meat and drink TO other
women, but after all, we can't all be alike
in our tastes, and to their unselfsh friend
the greatest JOY I'm the world seems to be
the joy of giving.
Their attitude to her is far from rever-
entail but Il can be explained from the
stern truth that few of us modern mortals
are big enough 10 look up TO the man. ana
more especially the woman, who is chronl-
cally out at the elbows and shabby as to
footgcar. We may dcplOre friends eX-
travagance in dress. hut secretly we are
rather proud Of 1t and are glad to be seen
I'm her company. If my unscllish friend
souandercd on her own back One-half the
money that she laviahes upon others she
would be cOurted by the people who at
present only tolerate her.
Every one of us likes To believe that
she is loved and admired for herself alone.
rather than for the clothes she wears BE
that as it may. when unsclhshness is
pushed to the point that II causes woman
to look shabby in the eyes Of the friends
for whom she is eXpending her resources,
it becomes not so much virtue as vice,
and no one is quicker to dcnounce 1t as
such than the bcnefciaries themselves.

A REVIVAL OF RESOLUTION
Stimulating the Home Growing of Cot
4 ton-This Would End the De-
pendence of the Nation
on America.

| Washington, Feb. 2.-The American
| Wooden company, the United Shoe Ma.
chinery company, the Herman Shoe
company of Boston, and Others were at.
tackled by resolution yesterday report.
ed favorably by the House committee
on rules. The author of this resolution
is Representative Robert Z. Difenderfer
Democrat, of Pennsylvania, and it is
the outgrowth of a controversy between
the Pennsylvania man and Representa-.
tive Gardner of Massachusetts,, which
took place on the floor of the House last
spring. Mr.. Difenderfer charges that the
army and navy shoe contracts are mo-
nopolized by the Herman people of Mas
sachusetts and Representative Gardner
declares that he had never heard OF Her
man. Should the House accord with the
report of the committee on rules, a
special committee of the committee on
expenditures in the war department will
be appointed with power to hold hear
ings outside of Washington and to take
testimony under oath.
Representative Difenderfer says that
this investigation will disclose bad
state of affairs. He points out that the
reports of the secretary of war show
that the Herman Shoe company has fur
nished practically one hundred per cent.
of the shoes which the government has
been buying during the last five years,
When asked specifically how the United
Shoe Machinery company and the Amer
'can Wooden company are involved, Mr..
Difenderfer became somewhat mysteri-
GUS and said that he had some facts
which he would produce on the floor OF
the House later on. Questioned more
specifically, he mentioned blankets as
an article which the government had
been purchasing without a fair letting
of contracts. Mr.. Difenderfer replies to
the suggestion that he represents some
hostile special interest by an emphatic
denial
The Difenderfer resolution had a
stormy time in the rules committee be-
fore being reported out favorably. Rep
resentative John Dalzell urged that the
committee on military affairs handle
the investigation. This was stoutly OPP
posed, however, because the friends of
the resolution argued that the military
committee has its hands full with the
appropriation Dill ana thaU TO commit
the inquiry to this committee would
mean that no action would follow. It
is expected that when the report reaches
the House there will be contest and
the animosities of the Gardner Difen-
derfer encounter last spring win be re-
peated. 1t is not known whether the
committee will go to New England to
take testimony.

ROYAL ARcANUM TESTS NEW LAW
Sues the State Treasurer for Return Of
Emergency Fund of Nearly s6,ooo,ooo.

Boston, Feb. Ito test the law en-
acted last year. which provides for the
control and regulation of fraternal bene-
fit associations, the supreme council OF
the Royal Arcanum has filed petit
tion for a writ of mandamus against
State Treasurer Stevens in the supreme
judicial court seeking the return to the
association of S5,902, 100 in securities
now in Treasurer Stevens hands. The
securities have been held on deposit by
the state treasurer under authority OF
revised laws, chapter ITO, section Z, as
au emergency fund.
The society, in its petition, claims
that the new law, chapter 62s of the
acts of 1911, which took effect Jan. |,
no longer requires the society to de-
post an emergency fund with the state
official.
The new law substantially re-enacted
section Z of the old statute, except that
it omitted the provision that the Sc
curities of the emergency fund shall be
deposited with the state treasurer, and
allowed fraternal societies to invest not
over twenty per cent of such funds in
a building for its own use and oecupa-
ton. 1t is claimed that the old require
ment for the deposit of the funds with
the state treasurer is repealed.
Curtis II. Waterman, counsel for the
petitioner, obtained an order of notice

MAINE WRECK NEARLY
READY TO BE FL0ATED
Last Evidence of 1898 Tragedy Will
Soon Be Removed from Havana
Harbor.

Washington, Feb. l-Gen. Bixby
chief of engineers of the army, brings
from Havana the report that unless nm
foreseen difficulties are experienced, al
that is left of the old battleship Maine
will be hoated out of Havana harbor b.
March | and sunk in the deep waters
of the gulf of Mexico, few miles of
the north coast of Cuba. In fact, Gen
Bixby says about third of the ship
all Of that part forward of the rent
which severed the bow section-has been
dumped into the sea without attracting
attention.
1t is expected that within week or
ten days only the after part of the ship,
which it is proposed to float away intact,
will remain in the Golfer dam.
The after turret of the ship has been
unbolted from the deck and is ready for
transfer to the shore. 1t has been given
to the city Of Havana and is to be
erected as monument in public park.
One of the masts is now at Governors
island and the other is aboard the col
lier Justin, awaiting transportation to
the national cemetery at Arlington,
where it will be placed over the graves
of the victims of the Maine.
When the wreck is finally floated out
to sea with ceremony and in the pres
ence of distinguished company, the
giant cofferdam will be removed and
nothing will be left visible in Havana
harbor to mark the scene of the great
catastrophe.
Deeply imbedded in the mud at the
bottom of the harbor will lie the in
yerted forward turret of the ship, with
its ten-ineh guns, which it is not thought
worth while to raise.
