wife of a Robertson county farmer,
SATURDAY. night. was taken from Off

Ramsey left his wife and two small
children at home alone Saturday night
to go u Orlinda. one mile away, for

negro, Samuels.
knowing that Mrs. Ramsey was
alone, it is surmised, the negro went
directly &C the Ramsey home and at
tackled Mrs. Ramsey. She was drag

when the negro fed, she walked half
a mile to give the alarm.
Having been arrested and identified
as the assailant, Samuels was taken

ter's Record in Persia.
Financially His Work There
Was a Success.
DID HIS WORK TOO WELL
Aroused JealOusies of Great
Britain and Russia.
What He Has Done i'm South
America.

New York, May pa few days be-
fore Morgan Shuster, in the spring of
last year sailed for Persia to under
| take the financial reorganization of the
kingdom one of the great financiers of
this country said: 1T is a colossal
task that Mr.. Shuster has undertaken.
If there were no political complications
his work would be easier. The chances
are that the better his work as a
financial reconstructor the more likely
he is to arouse dangerous political OPP
position. But he can be assured of
one thing: If he shows in Persia that
he is competent to deal with the finan-
cial chaos there and to bring order
out of confusion he will have abundan.
opportunities for important financial
association in the United States should
foreign politics compel him to abandon
his work there"
Mr.. Shuster must have known that
careful scrutiny was given by financial
leaders, both of this country and of
Europe, to the plans which he formu-
lated for the ref1nancing of Persia. This
scrutiny was not to his disadvantage.
Although he failed to accomplish what
he had undertaken to do in Persia our
own f1nanciers understood that the fail
ure was not a financial one, but was
due entirely to the jealousies of other
nations, probably Great Britain and
Russia.
The official announcement made last
week that Mr.. Shuster was speedily
to go to South America as a represen-
tative of the National City bank of it
self is to be accepted as recognition of
the constructive financial ability which
he showed when in Persia. The oppor-
tunity was magnificent and although
he failed in Persia he has gained in
the United States probably more than
he lost when he was in service in Per-
sia as the treasurer general of the
kingdom.
Mr.. Shuster's visit to South America,
which will certainly be of a years dur
alton and possibly will be longer, Is
of consequence from another than a
personal point of view. The visit rep
resents the determination of some of
the leading financial authorities of the
United States to take advantage OF
some of the opportunities which South
America offers The intimate business
friends of Mr.. James Stillman, former
and now chairman of the board, have
long known that he regards South
America as offering greater emporium
ties to the capital of the United States
than can be found in any other coun-
try. He is reported to be of the opin-
ion that these opportunities will not be
realized by any sudden or hustling
methods. To obtain the confidence and
the trade of the greater republics of
South America, involves, probably, at
least ten years training by the repre-
sentatives of America capital. They
must learn to speak the language. They
must become familiar with the bust
ness as we'll as the social customs OF
the people. They must learn the art

HELP HUMANITY.
keynote of Doctor Estey's Sermon to
High School Graduates.

Let your ambition in life be to help
humanity" This advice was given to
81 seniors of the high school Sunday
night at the First Presbyterian church
the students who will receive their
"sheepskins' at the Auditorium next
Friday night.
Mastery of ones self first; then
comes the power to serve" continued
the speaker. He who seeks physical
comfort, becomes a soft weakl1ng.
There is a certain inevitable relation
between softness of the physical life
and weakness of moral fibre. Aus
terity and self-denial in the physical
life are linked together with strength
and ruggedness of character.
Don't seek the honey of flattery and
praise. Nothing more certainly saps
manliness than an Unsuitable appetite
for applause. We smile at Nero's mon
strous greediness for praise, and smile
at the ridiculous figure he cuts when
he organizes a band of 5000 young men
that he may be suitably cheered and
applauded when he appeared in public.
1t is said that Chateaubriand always
became deaf as soon as people ceased
to talk of him and his abilities. There
are many heroes today who make
themselves ridiculous because they
must always have a little coterie of
flatterers about them; many Chateau
brands there are who are interested
in no conversation of which they are
not the theme.
Fly from the desire of applause as
from a pestilence. 1t will weaken you
infinitely. To a strong man achieve
ment is the only applause of value.
Popularity and applause are tickle and
are not always given on merit. Be too
great to depend on applause Tie
your satisfaction to a consciousness of
work well done; do not condition It
on applause. To do so destroys all the
strength and independence of a mans
character.
Applause will produce infinite harm
to your manhood The only applause
that is good is the consciousness Of
achievement.
Wherever there is life there is a law
subject to the laws of service. If the
angels were to say, Everyone for him
SELF it would be transferred into u
hell
For an able bodied man to take
more out of the world than he gives,
is a sin, and should be considered a
disgrace.
Always bear in mind God and hu-
mainly. Go out into life with the am
bition to help humanity. Your work
for the good of humanity will mean
sacrifice and will bring scars, but
the people will love you for it,
Young men and women of the
class of 1912, go fearless to meet the
battle of life, but be sure it is a bat
tie for the good of mankind in which
you engage, not a mere brawl i'll which
you seek plumber for yourself. Brav-
ado in brawl is not the same thing
as bravery in battle. Our enemies are
