Kicking Good Of Il.

In the December American Maya
zine appears an interesting little
article entitled Kicking and the
Good of it." In the first place, the
author tells about man who COM
PEELED the postmaster in his town
to sell postage stamps with the
gum side up. There is a rule in
the postoffice department requiring
this. The point is that if postage
stamps are handed out gum side
down they are likely to accumulate
filth and germs.
Other stories are told, after the
telling of which tho author goes on
to say:
There are two kinds of kickers:
Those who kick from anger, and
those who kick dispassionately for
Justice because they are good citi-
zens. If, through a little careless
ness or irritation on your part,you
receive discourteous treatment from
an overworked and nervous public
service employee who is nagged by
an impatient public many hours
every day. you place yourself for
the time being in the first category,
and do more harm than good. If,
however, you notice an indisputable
piece of injustice to yourself and
others-an evident example of
many similar ones-and are willing
to take the time and trouble to
bring the matter dispassionately to
the attention of the proper authori-
ties, you join the second category,
and are doing an act of good citi-
zenship.
do not argue with another's
employee. He is hired by some
body else, and you have no authori-
ty over him. Do not wrangle with
a hotel servant, or shop clerk. or
car conductor. You will only make
things unpleasant and get the worst
of the encounter. If you allow
yourself to become angry over the
incident, don't do anything until the
next, day. and then do not say 10
yourself, oh, well, what's the use z

and courteously to the highest pos

Steamer POCOm0ke Aground.

On her way from Pocomoke City
to Baltimore, the steamer POGO
moke, of the B., c. & A. Ry. Co.,
was run aground on the Pocomoke
flats, in Pocomoke Sound, Saturday
about noon, to prevent her from
sinking. Capt. S. C. Hall sent
word to BALTIMORE that the steam
err was leaking, but stated that
there were no passengers aboard
and that all the crew was safe.
The steamer left Pocomoke City
early in the morning and stopped
at the river ports to take on freight
After leaving Shelltown she was
compelled to pass over the ''Muds,"
as the flats are known, and while
making her way through the shall
low water struck some obstruction
that opened several seams.
At this point the channel at low
water is not more than four feet
deep. The Pocomoke draws five
feet of water and was compelled to
force her way through the mud. She
got through the shadows and was
about to turn her course to Oman
cock when a fireman rushed on
deck and reported to Capt. Hall
that the steamer was aleak.
An investigation showed the wa
ter coming in fast on the port side
under the guards. He headed the
steamer in and succeeded in beach
ing her close to the shore.
There was some excitement
among the crew when it was learn
ed the boat was leaking and that
it would be necessary to beach her,
but it was soon quieted by the cap
tain, who assured all on board that
there was no danger. All remained
on board and it was believed the
vessel would be floated without
difficulty at high tide yesterday
morning.
Alexander H. Seth, assistant to
General Manager Willard Thompson,
said Capt. Hall had telegraphed him
of the accident. capt. Hall re-
ported that the vessel sprung
leak after passing the "Muds," and
that he had beached her." Mr.. Seth
said. There was no danger to
any one on board and the damage
to the vessel is slight. 1t is moth
ing unusual for a steamer to run
aground in the shallow water in
Pocomoke Sound.
81 have heard nothing since the
first report and am sure the Capt.
is simply waiting for high tide to
float his vessel. I will get in COM
munication with him again in the
morning, and If the steamer is still
fast will send a vessel to it's aid"
Willard. Thompson, vice-president
of the Company, whose home is at
Wilmington, Del, declared over the
telephone Saturday night that the
mishap to the Pocomoke was slight
and that the damage would be nomi-
nal. The steamer, he said, was
high and dry, having been run
ashore.
The Pocomoke is a comparatively
new vessel, having been built in
1901 by the n-Hollingsworth
Company, of Wilmington, Del.

Mexjco's Goat.

Because of graft scandals in

lapan's Anthem,

The Japanese national anthem Is the
most POLITICALLY worded in the world
with the possible exception of the Nor
wegian, ia, vi olsker," written by
Bjornstjerne Bjornson. That is. OF
course. matter Of opinion. but the
japanese anthem is commercially short
and makes. in its English form. an
eminently pleasing poem. Its ten lines
are as follows:
Until this grain Of sand.
Tossed by each wavelet's freak,
Grow to a cloud grit peak,
Towering above the land;
Until the dewy flake
Beading this blossoms gold
Swell to a mighty Jake

Maddened by censu, Questions.

Serious results followed the taking
of the first census In Japan years ago.
Observing with approval the work Of
western countries, the authorities
thought it advisable to take statistics
of populat ton and for that purpose sent
out to all householders notices enjoin-
ing them to furnish them with full par
ticuiars of their families. age. sex. etc.
This step was misconstrued In one OF
the villages. where suspicion was ex-
pressed that Japan was about to be
sold or at least some of the people
were to be sold to foreigners who were
desirious of ascertaining the number
of males. etc., before closing the bar
gain in order to find out what price
to pay according to the quantity OF
blood that would be forthcoming. 1t
was a japanese, belief the foreigners
squeezed the blood from all who came
into their power. Excited and enraged
mobs soon collected and attacked the
village offices. and 1t was some time
before order could be restored--Argo-

BERNHARDT RAPS
MILITANT WOMEN
Believes There Are Better Pur-
suits Than Politics for Weld
ing ''Divine Influence"

LONDON, Sept 26.-Women and poll
tics formed the subject of an interview
with Sarah Bernhard upon her arrival
in London. The actress makes an inter-
esting comparison of the temper of men
fragists on the ground that there is a
nobler opening for feminine activity in
art. music and literature. She said
The temper of men differs much from
that of women. The latter are charm
ing, but they do not create any COM
pact enthusiasm in an audience. Men are
chiefly responsible for enthusiastic au-
diences and it is the same thing in poll
tics. Voting does not mean real poll
tics and cabinets and parliaments are
better without women
art, literature and drama are living
and passionate, and that is where women
are needed at their finest The modern
woman Is an increasing power all over
the world and there are many openings
where she might WELD a divine influence.
At one time men confined that influence
too much to the home; 1t is glory often,
but was frequently an unmeaning sub
jugation. Women were too restricted in
the past century, but now they are hap
PLY emancipating themselves
Il am prejudiced for art, il is true,
because politics offers nothing worth
while to the nature of woman. The vote,
yes; that might well be allowed women,
for 1t is really ridiculous to see a great
artistic debarred from voting, while a
man who knows nothing above sweeping
a staircase is allowed the franchise"

Dodson's Liver Tone is always safe

Arthur. a well known young man of
Athens. today is at the point of death

door of the girl who an hour before
had refused to marry him. Before he
was Tilted he told friends that If she
did not accept him he would commit
suicide The girl-Miss Grace Mckin-

Both Arthur and Phelps had pro-
posed to Miss McKinnon. Each knew
that the other loved her and had asked

that she would give them her answer
last night. The two young men went

Girls Story of Affair.
Miss McKinnons version of the af-
fair follows:
Preston and Gerdine came to my
home last night and as had formerly
been agreed between them, requested
that l make decision between them.
My father had often objected to the
constant attention of both, and he, too,
thought that | should decide. When l
chose Gerdine, Preston at once left my
home and went to town. He later re-
turned and told me goodbye / did not
for minute think that he was contem-
plating such a rash deed. but merely
thought that he meant he would not
call again He had been gone Just a
short time when some one told me that
a man was lying near my home, either
drunk or dead. My uncle went out and
picked him up and brought him in the
house, and ! at once recognized him
as Preston"
On reaching the house, Arthur ex-
claimed to Miss McKinnon:
DO you love me?"
When Miss McKinnon replied in the
affirmative, Arthur said
why didn't you tell me this before.
and this thing would never have hap
pened?"
