 The Idea that nothing is so disgrace ful as covardice is one that is not held by all races Among the Bedouins a sheik may be the leader of his tribe only in peace When there is war the chances are that he will relinquish his leadership to the fighting sheik
 'T have not the gift of courage" once said an Arab chief to an Engiishman, apologizing for not putting himself at 1ne head of band that he had sent to attack another tribe.
 The EngIishman learned that these nomads esteem personal bravery as a gift, for the want of which man is no more to be censured than he is to be blamed for not being handsome.

The Use of Torture In Legal Processes
 In Former Times.
 The constitution of the United States and the constitutions of the various states in prohibiting cruel and unusual punishments were not fighting an ab- surdity- The use of torture in legal processes was not, when these instru- ments were framed. so remote as it is now.
 When Sir Thomas Dole came as high marshal to Virginia he crushed a con- spiracy by killing the ringieaders by torture. One had a bodkin thrust through his tongue and was chained to a tree until he died. Others were broken on the wheel It is quaintly stated that Sir Thomas was "a man of good conscience and knowledge in diS vinfty." Do1e's date was 1911.
 The next notable. instance of the use of torture was in 1892. in the Salem witchcraft excitement, when Giles Cory was pressed to death-the "peine dure ct forte.Y the most horrible of deaths.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

Woodrow Wilson, who a few years
ago gave up the Presidency of Prince
ton University to become Governor
of New Jersey, will on March 4 next
step from the little state house at
Trenton to the White House at Wash

diplomatist, scholar, statesman, DEM

United States.
Mr.. Wilson is qualified for this high
position The people have proclaimed
the fact. His record also shows it.
His life has been spent in a study of
the nation, it's laws and it's people
The best of his years have been given

The election of Mr.. Wilson shows
that others than those of his party
had confidence in him and his ability.

American people. But Woodrow Will

THE EFFICIENT BURGLAR,

Business methods have been intro

houses, according to the latest reports
from Kansas City. A burglar arrested
there claims to receive only commits
sion for his work"
His business manager seems to have
had considerable ability in his line,
for the man arrested could give no
description of him other than that he
wore "a great big diamond and a ruby
ring" The managers part consisted
in giving orders as to Jobs" to be
undertaken and in disposing of the
loot
This almost equals in real life what
About conceived in a spirit of sarcasm

which a stock company was organized

The bringing of business methods into

its exploitation by promoters. Is the
day coming when an arrest. similar to
the one in Kansas City will cause a

Consolidated Pickpocket Company and
perhaps bring panic?

4 Reading Journey Through Palestine

''The fact that so many visitors to
the Holy Land have been disappointed
and, as they say. disillusioned, has
been very largely due to the fact that
they have tried to see what in the ma
ture of things, was no longer visible.
and even more because they have tried
to see everything in hurried visit
of a few days." says Shailer Mathews
in "A Reading Journey Through Pal
estine"

FIRST SCHOOL FOR sHOOkEYS-.

A school for the boys that won

Trajectory. doesn't it? Yet that /:
exactly what has been established in
St. Louis.
Hugh NJ. Fullerton, the st. Louis
probation officer, is different from the
general run of truant officers. Still
retaining many of his boyish qualities
he has not forgotten the experiences
of his early school days. Instead OF
dealing with the "hookeys" as cul-
prits. he deals with them simply as
boys. He believes that the boys will
apply themselves to school when the
work is fitted to their likes.
A special course of instruction will
be laid out for the truant youths of
st. Louis. 1t is calculated to hold
their interest and to draw them to
school of their own accord rather
than to make their attendance COM
pulsory. More manual training work,
wood working, metal working and
laboratory experiments will be in
cluded in the truant course than in
that of the common school. -'
This is the first school of its kind
in the United States. 1t is an expert
ment founded on right principles and
should succeed. Experience has
shown that almost any child will ap-
ply himself to school work when the
work is made interesting and corre-
spends to his likes.
