Misplaced Confidence.

ed lives could be traced to the betrayal
of little condolences which young girls
are apt to confide to their women
friends?
The German people, who are usually
pretty level-headed when it comes to
the philosophy of love, have an old
proverb, which, being translated,
would read thus: when the devil
thinks that matters are running along
too smoothly between a man and a
maid, he tempts the maid to tell her
Joy to another woman; then the devil
retires. for he knows that the other
woman will do all that seven devils
could"
Now, that seems rather hard on the
other woman" doesn't it?
Still, II one will but look back over
her experiences, the proverb will
prove true in more than one instance,
I am sure.
Strange as 1t may seem to most peo-
pie who are refined and educated, the
fact remains, nevertheless; very few
women can resist the desire to meddle
with another girls happiness-even
when she has herself won the love
and married the man of her choice.

HAS FUND OF WAR TALES
soer Captains Experiences Of Ex-
citing Times Full Of Interesting
and Humorous Details.

Capt. c. Van de Watering, one Of
the heroes of the Boer war, and a
man of wide experience in many parts
OF the world, was in Philadelphia re-
Gently and was prevailed upon to tell
some Of his opinions concerning the
hgures which loomed large in those
troubled times in South Africa, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Ledger.
The captain is Dutchman born, but
he speaks English perfectly, and
likewise French and German. Since
giving up the profession Of soldier he
mas been in the much more peaceful
pursuit of selling varnish. He is q
remarkable developed man physical
ly, and he carries his 24c pounds
without any appearance Of superflu-
GUS flesh.
According to the captain, Dom Paul
was sort of modern King Solomon
for sagacity and wisdom, and he
proves this by telling a story:
Cecil Rhodes and De Beers" he
said, had a diamond farm once near
Kimberley, and they could not agree
onhow 1t should be divided. To set
tie the matter, they decided to leave
1t to Kruger. 1t was explained to him,
and he said to Rhodes: You are the
cider, so you may divide the proper
ty.' and to De Beers: You are the
younger, 30 you may have the choice
CT the two pieces"
II was suggested to the captain
that he must be interested in the
Eoy Scout movement, since he was
himself scout serving under Gen
eral De Wet.
Il think the movement is a great
thing" he replied enthusiastically.
Anything which will get the young
sters out Of dors should be encour.
aged. I had my start in an outdoor
life and every young fellow should
have the same opportunity"
The captain doesn't think quite so
much Of Baden-Powell. the founder of
the scout movement.
why, he couldn't scout a free
lunch," he said. You see, helped
to capture Baden-Powell once when
ne was scouting. It was down near
Mafeking, and was in a detachment
with Elof, the grandson of Kruger.
We caught Baden-Powell and got him
right. but he did not know everything
about scouting then"
The captain was the man who ar
rested John Hays Hammond, in 1896.
Mr.. Hammond was not on diplo.
matte mission in the Transvaal at that
time, but was acting as an engineer
fer the Consolidated goldfields.

Beauty In Expression.

II the great number of women who
believe that they are sadly lacking
In beauty who pass valuable time and
money In vainly trying to acquire it
could but be brought to realize that
the highest form Of beauty is that
of expression! This is attained by the
possession Of inward graces, which
frequently transform so-called plain
face into one more beautiful and win

+ 'rl s StlIutlOn. J.

The tenth annual report of the Chris
tan and Eleanora Rupert Home for
Aged and INDECENT Residents of the
District has just been issued. 1t shows
the institution to be making excellent
progress in its appointed mission and is
able to care for twenty-nine inmates
at present, six of whom are men and
twenty-three women.
The report of the secretary and treas
urer. Meyer Cohen, shows the receipts
of the past year. mainly derived from
income OF loans and real estate, to be
$s,249.7S, and the disbursements to be
$7,749.0S. There is therefore a balance
of $780, the most satisfactory financial
showing the home has ever made.
Tribute is paid to the work OF the
Ladies' Aid Society in the report of the
president OF the institution, Simon
Wolf. He lays stress upon the harmony
and cooperative spirit which has existed
between this body and the board of di'
rectors, and commends the matron
Mrs. Hermine Ramm, for the tact and
patience which she has shown under
trying circumstances.
George w. Spier is the successor OF
the late Charles Graff as a member oi
the board of directors, and John Han
sen, formerly of the auditing commit
tee, has been assigned to the commit
tee on admissions to the Home.

Two Suspected Shoplifters,
Caught Here, Turned Over
+. to Pennsylvania Police.

Representatives Of half dozen diff
ferent department stores called at police
Headquarters today and identified
trunkful of wearing apparel found in
the room of two alleged shoplifters as
articles stolen from their establish
ments.
The prisoners are Mrs. Mary Takach,
a Hungarian, forty years old, and her
daughter, Elsie, sixteen. The women
had been living at 621 z street north
west, the police say They were arrest
ed yesterday afternoon by Detectives
Hewlett and Pratt at the request of the
authorities of Pottsville, Pa, where
they had recently been visiting.
Mrs. Takach's godchild, who is nine
years old. was arrested in Pottsville in
connection with the theft of some arti-
cles from a store. The child, 1t Is said,
told the police that some of the articles
in her possession had been given her
by Mrs. Takach and her daughter.
Arrest of the pair resulted in the
detectives finding the trunkful of arti-
cles which, 1t is alleged, were taken
from stores here. No charges were pre-
ferred against them here. This morn
ing they were turned over to an officer
from Pottsville.

PROGRESSIVE PHILOSOPHY.

Every great and commanding moment in the annals
of the world is the triumph Of some enthusiasm
But the President has paid dear for his White House
1t has cost him all his and the best of his manly
attributes To for short time conspicuous
appearance before the world he is content to eat
dust before the real masters, who stand erect be-
hind the throne. ..
The whole interest of history lies in the fortunes Of
the poor. .tf> -tE /.
Those who live to the future must always appear
selfish to those who live to the present q t..S
There is more deviation in the moral standard
than in the standard of weight or bulk ...
All the old abuses in society," the great and universal
and the petty and particular all unjust accumuations
of property and power avenged in the same manner
The minds of men at last aroused; reason looks
out usfes her own and malice finds all her work
in vain. 1t is the whipper who is whipped and the
tyrant who is undone. ,.....
Great words, pregnant sentences are these.

been written about the present crisis in the nations
history. But their calm force and inspiration have
already served as an incentive in many life crisis.

END OF BOSSED.CONVENTIONS.

The political history of the nation will record that
in this year of grace the bossed-convent1on system
of nominating Presidents reached its climax, and
also entered into its decline. The unusual bitterness
that prevailed in both conventions this year was not
due to the rivalry between candidates. Previous
conventions in both parties have witnessed as intense
personal fights between candidates and factions as
either the Chicago or Baltimore conventions wit
messed But the rivalry was between factions and in
dviduals. 1t began there and ended there. II was
a fight between bosses and machines ,,- ~. . f,.>
This year the struggle was between all bosses
on one hand and the people on the other The public
had grown tired of boss-controlled conventions,
machine e-made nominees, Delphc platforms. They
through with States being tied up, labeled, and
delivered in blocks and bundles; with popular rights
being ruled out of order and the decision from the
gavel not being debatable; with delegates being
seated unseated, gagged by the unit rule or foed
by two-thirds rule-just it best suited the plans
Of the bosses.
The rebellion started this year against bossed-
conventions successful. 1t failed of its immedi-
ate purpose at Chicago, but it left the bosses ex-
hausted and wrecked the result of their victory.
1t won at Baltimore.
Nineteen hundred and twelve will 60 down in
history as the year when the American people at
tended the conventons-not in person-but by let
tiers and kilograms. They attacked bosses and
machines in their own citadel and won. Before
another four years roll around delegates to conven-
tions will be elected under primary law, instructed
by the people who vote for certain men, regardless
of what the bosses want. .
Then we will have representative government in
our parties, for the only free man, according to the
American theory of government, is the man who
holds commission signed by the people--not a

siy for dsfranchisng large element Of the people;
yet some of the State laws will effectively accom-
plish that result this year.
Two years ago the Democratic vote in Wisconsin
fell so low that the party lost It's right under ill
constructed law, to retain place on the ballot This
year we are discovering many anomalies of this kind
in the State laws. They have made it apparent that
general reformation and broadening of the election
laws must be accomplished as soon as possible. 1t
should be effected too with view to securing the
fullest measure of uniformity. This can be done by
employing the Federal powers over elections in which
Federal officers are to be chosen The whole effort
at unhcaton and modernization of the election
statutes should begin with proper Federal enact
ments, to be followed by the States, which must
bring their own laws within the requirements die
tated by the national authority.

THE MISFIT ELECTION LAWS.

No little amazement has been caused by the dis
covery that the election laws of the various States
are in condition of utter complexity, uncertainty,
and contradiction. They seem to have drifted into
this situation largely through lack of consideration
and attention. Whatever the reason they stand to-
day as serious barrier to the expression of the
public will.
Away back in 1924, John Quincy Adams was
elected President Andrew Jackson, despite that
in the popular vote Jackson had about three to
Adams two. At that time many of the State laws
provided for the selection of Presidential electors by
the legislatures and in these therefore, no popular
expression was given the direct issue of the
Presidency Following that defeat of the popular
preference the States were forced to reorganize
their laws, and popular selection of electors was
substituted for legislative choice.
The nation seems to have come to another crisis
not dissmilar The direct choice OF electors is now
universal but other complications have arisen which
threaten to make truly popular elections difficult OF
impossible. In the last generation many safeguards
have been thrown around the ballot box to insure
secrecy, prevent fraud and bribery, and the like
These have brought excellent results but they have
been predicated largely the assumption that this
is a two-party country. The difficulties which beset
an effort in Presidential year, to establish new
party are altogether too onerOus. There is no neces

Physicians Hope to
Save Moreland'S Life

Physicians at the Freedmen's Hos
pital who are attending Wade H. More
land, the man who tried to kill him
self in front of his home at IS Seaton
place, have determined with reasonable
certainty the location of the bullet.
They think that the bullet, which en-
tered just above the heart, went
straight through to the back, and then
dropped little.
No X-ray photograph has been taken
of Morelands body, but there are suf-
ficient evidences on the surface to war
rant the opinion of the physicians that
the bullet is In the left side of his
back, probably just behind the heart.
They are proceeding on this hypothesis:
While Moreland is still in a critical
condition, the physicians entertain
strong hopes for his recovery. 1t has
not been determined yet whether an
operation will be performed.
