Philosophy of the Unsuccessful.

We are perhaps too prone to get
our ideas and standards of worth from
the successful, without rejecting that
Che interpretations Of life which pa
triotic legend, copy-book philosophy,
and the sayings Of the wealthy give
us, are pitifully inadequate for those
who fall behind in the race. Surely
there are enough people to whom the
task Of making a decent living and
maintaining themselves and their fam
1lies in their social class, or of win
ming and keeping the respect of their
fellows, is hard and bitter task, to
make philosophy gained through per-
6onal disability and failure as just and
true a method Of appraising the life
around US as the cheap optimism of
the ordinary professional man. And
certainly a Kindlier, for it has no
shade OF contempt o. disparagement
about it.-Atlantic.

again. To my annoyance [ noted that
the rope had been removed from the
rafters, though the woman's outer
clothing still lay piled on the chair.
There seemed to be nothing about the
inexpensive black suit to identify the
owner, no mark Of any kind except the
label of the concern in New York
from which it had been purchased.
where's the black bag she car
ried?" asked the coroner.
"There was some money in it." Mr..
Williams replied. 81 put it in the
safe"
AS we left the room to return to the
hotel Office I gave a hasty glance at
the corpse. From the condition Of the
face and throat it was all too plain that
death had been by strangulation, still,
I reasoned, a powerful man might
have strangIed the woman first and
hanged her afterward to conceal his
crime. determined to put the theory
up to Davis as soon as he arrived.
Twirling the knob of the ancient
safe that stood in the corner, the ho-
tel-keeper reached in and drew out a
well-WOrn handbag Of black leather
and upset the contents on the desk.
There were three one-doIlar bills, neat
~ folded, three dimes and eight pen-
mesa meager amount that suggested
the boarding of pennies for this trip,
whatever its purpose. There was a
half-ticket, the return stub of a ticket
from Bridgeport and another one from
New York to Ardway, and that was
all, save two neatly folded black-bor-
dered handkerchiefs.
Looks like she came from Bridge
port, after ALL" the constable volun-
teered.
Maybe she did," said the landlord,
unfolding one of the handkerchiefs
and holding it up to our gaze. Maybe
she did come from Bridgeport, but her
name wasn't Teiler-not Mary Jane
Teller by long shot"
In the corner of each handkerchief
was neatly embroidered "S."
It gave me quite shock as I looked
at that mute evidence of her assumed
name, to her effort to mask her
identity.
Could her name have been Elser?
Was this the way in which she was

Evidently he wanted for some reason

his motive was still a mystery to me.
It flashed across my mind that per

have been suicide. A clever criminal
might easily arrange things to look as

the coroner.
"Yep. They say there's only three

The hotel register showed us little

the tremulous old-fashioned hand little

perhaps little more space between

both the palm and the back Of tho
hand were laid bare to the bone

the girl was taken to the residence
Of DR.. N.oew, also occupied by Mr.
Gains family where she was given

hour, she was taken 10 the hospital.
1t was found necessary to amputatC

hospital At midnight the younf
woman was reported to be resting
easily, and doing as we'll as could be
expected.
The report of the exploding

RAISING FINDS FOR
DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
Woodrow Wilson Club Collected
Small Sum Last Night-Frank
Rabb Appointed to Tour Valley.

At the meeting of the Woodrow
Wilson Club at the federal court
room last night. $3.50 in cash was
collected for the benefit of the demo-
cratic national campaign fund. The
money will be sent to Hon. Cato
Sells Of Cleburne, national commit
teeman from Texas, by whom it will
be transferred TO national head
quarters at New York City
Frank Rabb, w. A. Rutledge,
George Scanlan, Teoflo Crixell and
Mr. Tamajo were appointed a comr
mittee to call on all the members of
the club who have not yet con-
tributed, and secure their contribu-
tions Upon motion, Mr. Rabb was
appointed to make a tour Of the
Valley towns in the interest of the
democratic campaign fund. He and
NJ j. Slattery will probably leave
on the trip today
An effort will be made TO wind
up the subscriptions within the next
week 1t is not probable that any
more meetings of the club will be
held, but it will remain intact until
Woodrow Wilson is elected-or de-
feated.
A letter to Mr.. Rabb from Judge
Sells was read before the meeting
in which Mr. Sells states that it is
entirely possible to raise $4,000 in
Texas, and that the larger cities of
the state, Dallas. Fort Worth, San
Antonio and Houston, have agreed to
raise $4,000 each. He also asks if
the committee can not expect several
hundred dollars from Brownsville.
