MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
tabIishment of SanItoriums for the Tuberculosis.

According to figures contained in the annual report of Dr. H. L. Barnes, su- perintendent of the Rhode Island state sanitorium. the earnings of the ex- patients of that institution during the year 1911 would amount to over $266,- 900. This Is a sum three times as large as that spent each year for main tenance of the institution, including four per cent. interest and deprecia- ton charges.
 The actual earnings in 1911 of ITO ex-patients were obtained by Dr. Barnes. These ranged from $2 to $31 per week, the total earnings for the year amounting to s102,752 On this basis, Dr. Barnes computes the figures above given. He says, however: While institutions for the cure of tuberculosis are good investments, there is good reason for thinking that institutions for the isolation of far advances cases would be still better investments.
 Out of a total of 46,450 hospital days treatment given. 39,147, or S4 per cent, were free, the treatment costing the state on an average $200 per patient Out of 1SS free cases in- vestigated, 5G had no families and no income on admission to the sanito- rum. Out of 122 patients having homes. the number in the family aver aged 5.2, and the average family earn ings were $5.46. In 59 cases the fami- lies had no income, and in only five cases were there any savings, none of which amounted to as much as $100.

EVENING CHIT
q RUTN CANHRoM.

To be usurious and to exact more
than ones just debt in a money mat
ter is a legal crime.
Everyone knows that.
But how many people, 1 wonder,
realize that to exact more than ones
just return in other kinds of debts is
moral crime?
1 am thinking especially of The
people who demand more than their
due payment in coin of humble pie
for offenses which they have suffered.
Do you grasp my meaning?
Well then let's be concrete. Say
friend and your friend is unfortunate
enough to have offended you. She
has hastily said or done something
which, in her calmer moments, she
admits to herself was not just right.
Now as soon as she comes to this
conclusion she tacitly asks your par
don by being especially nice to you.
She brings you some interesting bit
of information which she thinks you
will enjoy. She offers to do some lit
tie service for you. She makes a point
OF admiring some possession of yours.
And all in vain. Under the sunshine
of all her Establishments you coldly
refuse to melt. You have a grievance
and you will not give il up until you
have your pound of humble pie.
Being human, she finds it much
harder to say, 81 was wrong, 1 am
sorry" than to act it. But finally
point and speaks out her apology.
OF course it hurts her; the words
stick coming up and the humble pie
sticks going down, but then, perhaps
she deserves some hurt in return for
the hurt she gave. That is her just
eXpiation.
But as soon as she has done rhis
she has put the burden of healing
the misunderstanding on your should
ers. 1t is your turn to act now. If
you had forgiven her after her tacit
apology you would have been merci-
full. But you weren't that. Now II
you forgive her you will simply he
just. But if you fail to forgive you
will be both unmerciful and unjust.
You will be exacting more than your
due payment for your cherished griey-
ance in terms of humble pie. The
burden of wrong has passed from her
shoulders to yours.
Again and again have seen
breaches which were very hard TO
friends and even between members
of family.
BY and by the usurious one sees his
mistake and tries to make 1t up. but
by this time the original offender
feels that he has a grievance in the
Hjustice of his friend, and there are
two raw spots to be healed.
1t is a very fine thing to be merci-
-ul in such matters, to be big enough
10 accept the first tacit apology. But
even those of us who are not big
enough to be merciful can surely be
lust. And let's not forget that when
We fail to be, we at once take the
burden of wrong on our own should
ers and become sinners instead of sin
ned against.
And truly it's much pleasanter to
DO sinned against.

MEMORIES.


The rose within the room makes sweet
With perfume wrought by mystic
OF sun and dew. and every heart may
share
The wildwood beauty God ordained free.
And though one bear it fading from the
room
Still in the morning air it's breathing
sweet
Brings dreams of garden aisles and van
ished bloom,
And charms that made the summers joy
complete.
So when from out our narrow round of
days
A loved ones soul ere all its beauty dies
Is borne afar down still and soundless
About US still healing comfort lies.
Each common thing love touched is sane
And soothes the quick because of one
By memories our thoughts are clarified;
Our hearts remembering remembrance
keep.
The perfume fingers when the rose is
dead. so
And lures the heart to dreams with its
sweet breath;
The love of love is ours when lie has
And links our souls across the deeps of
