BEAUTY NO LONGER A MARVEL
Time Has Gone BY When World
Stopped to Wonder at Lowell
ness of Women.

Within the last week two Well-known,
beautiful, rich society girls, both
young, both popular, with all doors to
which society has the key flung open
before them. have elected to go into an
East End hospital and scrub floors for
pauper invalids. Perhaps they will
not stick to it; the important thing is
that they want to try it.
The fact Is that we are no longer
sufficiently satisfied with beauty to
think a woman has justified herself by
being good to look at. Thirty or forty
part Of the world to see Georgiana
Lady Dudley, Mrs. Langtry and Mrs.
Cornwallis-West walk In the park. At
an earlier date the beautiful Cummings
caused riots, SO great was the anxiety
to see them. Anne of Austria drew
people from the most inaccessible cor
ners of what was then a very inacces-
sible world, who made their way with
year-long journeys to Paris, caught a
glimpse Of her entering her carriage
II went home again saying they had
seen loneliness itself. Today we
would not cross the road to see a pref
ty woman, possibly because there are
so many of them. Indeed, beautiful
women of today are more admired by
women than by men. But in any case
beauty as a profession is dead.-Lon-
don Truth.

Mr.. REPUBLICAN VOTER.
Are You Willing to Have the Demo.
cratic Party Name tho Republican
Candidate For President?

ARE you Wtitng TO Have the Deno-
cratic Party Name tho Republican
Candidate For President?
This is just what the Democrats are
attempting to do all over the country.
The Democratic newspapers are break
ing their necks to nominate Taft and
are hysterical In their denunciation Of
Roosevelt.
Why? Because the Democrats know
they can beat Taft in the election II he
Is nominated and know they cannot
beat Roosevelt. Every Democrat ev-
erywhere knows Roosevelt would be
elected. This Is why the Democratic
newspapers and the Democratic poll
ticians are breaking their necks to
keep Roosevelt from getting the noml-
~nation-good business on their part.
Suppose Roosevelt would prove a
weak candidate II nominated. Would
the Democrats oppose his nomination
as they are now doingP Most certainly
not. To beat Roosevelt In the nomina-
ton ean to every Democrat that the
Democratic party will win at the polls
In November. These are plain facts
that you cannot get away from Think
It out for yourself.

SAW HIS DUTY POINTED OUT
Advertisement Of John Ware Gave
Valuable Idea to the Travelling
Salesman.

while working through Pennsyl-
vania recently I saw an advertisement
that ought to bring relief to a few dis
tressed souls" said the travelling
salesman. 1T headed the personal col
umn and said:
BE It hereby known to all my cor
respondents hat l have this day de-
stroyed all letters they would wish to
be destroyed. JOHN WARE
That notice WAS SO extraordinary
that | stopped over for a late train and
called on John Ware. He was a genial
old man and willing to talk. He said
he was a person to whom people vol
UNFAIRLY eonflded secrets; that many
persons in bursts Of confidence had
written letters to him which they no
doubt afterwsrd regretted having
written.
Sometimes they said. Destroy
this sometimes they didn't. Anyhow,
John Ware had kept most Of those in
eliminating letters. But now that he
was getting old he had seen what
harm might result from those letters
falling into strange and INSCRIPTIONS
hands, and he had burned them and
had taken that novel way Of notifying
his correspondents that they were
safe.
That talk with John Ware set me
thinking. The first thing l did when I
got back to New York was to burn g.
batch OF letters"

automobiles, drivers permits and

predict more autos in this vicinity

An increase of nearly twenty per

though the rates for registrations

the owners are fiocking to the

To date 391 first class machines

ONE AMERICAN AMONG THEM
Clement Shorter Names Thomas 4.
Edison as One Of Ten Greatest
Men of Age.

Doubtless" writes Clement Short
er, in the Strand, there are many
great men living in the world today
men with prospective greatness,
that is, or even achieved greatness
but only time can decide. In my judg-
ment, there is no man in the world to-
day who is great in any walk of life
in so striking a way that his contem-
pOTaries can unhesltatingly proclaim
him great. History has proclaimed the
elder Pitt a great man, but not so GER
tainly his o II has not assigned his
epithet to Palmerston or Peel, and 1t
Is 90 early yet to decide whether 1t
will concede it to Gladstone or Dis
raell. The great man is surely he who,
by force Of genius, has impressed him
self Upon his age In some permanent
form. Whether the achievements of
Mr.. Roosevelt or of Emperor William
are of this character had better be de-
cided a century hence. AS you ask
me, however, to join in what can
scarcely be a serious discussion. l sug-
gest that we take the name of a living
man from each country who has, by
invention or creation, stamped himself
upon his age. l therefore nominate the
ten greatest men Of the present day
as follows:
Great Britain, Thos. Hardy; Great
Britain, Lord Lister; United States,
Thomas A. Edison; Italy. Guglielmo
Marconi; Italy. Giacomo Puccini;
France. Francois Coppee; Austria,
Richard Strauss: Germany, Hermann
Sudermann; Belgium, Maurice Mae
terlinck; Russia, Ellie Metchnikofr."

Il won't give you any money" said
Kilganon, "but I can get you a good
job" Kilganon remembered that a
manufacturer had called him over
the phone a short time before and
told him he was in need of a good
man. He said he would pay s1.75 q
day.
Kilganon had taken the receiver
from the telephone and was about to
tell the manufacturer he had found a
man for him when the beggar asked
how much the Job would pay. Gil
canon told him.
II wouldn't work for anybody for
that" said the beggar.
"All right" replied. K~ilganon, "get

 The fight as been waged by the W. R. Hearst newspaper syndicate, and the matter was aggrivated by fal- ing out of law partner wh, claim ed Judge Archibald. was too crooked to be associated with in business That he was always opened to pur- chase by. the moneyed interest. and his decisions were not based upon the law and evidence but upon the coin of the realm at so much spot cash.
 The impeachment of Judge Robert Archbald Is creating national interest for he has been in the public light for many years. Tn 1901. he was ap- pointed district judge of the newly created middle district in the state of Pennsylvania by President Mckinley, then appointed additional circuit fudge by President Taft in 1910. and designated to serve for four years on the United States commerce court
