incident In Doyhood.

In q village school In BoisOoy. Swift
Eerland. one day In the Arst quarter
OF the eighteenth century, Jean
Jacques Rousseau, then ten.year-old
boy. was. severely chastised because
he was suspected Of having broken
teeth. In comb which did not belong
to him. He was innocent, and tho
most terrible punishment could not
wiring from him an untrue confession.
The boy did not stop to reason that
there was strong circumstantial evil
dence to Justify suspicion In his direo-
ton. He felt only the rigor Of fright
full chastisement for an ofrense OF
which he was guiltless. And the an
ISOLATION CT ideas was permanent: .
lasting impression was left on him.
The one idea which ever remained
strange to him, and which he resist
ed In theory and practice, was that Of
duty. Unable to identity himself with
the society in which he lived, he fall
ed to appreciate the obligations to
ones fellows which are the best
part of human life.
Yet his influence for good was felt
is still being felt. It may be traced
In the current political movements
In France. In England and even In
America. He struck out for the
rights Of the many against the few
against plutocracy and selfishness. He
demanded that the people should rulo,
and that same demand 10 being urged
throughout the civilized world today.
The wrongfully administered punish.
ment which Jean jacques received In
the country school was not In vain.--

STRATEGY OF i BusHMAA
heW . Little Native a South Africa

The little bushmAn OF South Africa
70 not only small In size, but feeble In
mind. Yet there 10 on record an en-
counter between bushman and lion
which shows the man a. cool In dam
ger and fertile In resource, Harper's
Weekly says. This, bushmen, while
long way from home. was met by q
Hon. The animal. assured that he had
his victim completely II, his power, be-
gan to sport and daily with him with
feline iocosity which the poor little
bushman failed to appreciate. The
lion would appear at point in the
road and leap back again into the
jungle, to reappear. little further on.
The bushman, however, did not lose
his presence Of mind and presently
hit upon device whereby he might
outwit his foe. This plan was sug-
gested by the lions own conduct.
Aware that the beast was ahead of
him. the bushman lodged to the right
and feeling pretty sure of the lions
whereabouts resorted to the course of
quietly watching his movements.
When the lion discovered that the
mau nao suddenly disappeared from
the path he was good deal perpleSed.
He roared with modification. Then
he espied the bushman peeping at him
over the grass.
The bushman a. once changed his
position. while the lion stood irreso-
lutte in the path, following with his
eye the shifting black man. In an.
other moment the little man hustled
the reds, vanished and showed him.
self at another point. The great brute
was first confused and then alalmed.
1t evidently began to dawn upon him
that he had mistaken the position OF
matters and that he was the hunted
party. The bushman, who clearly rec
ognized the situation, did not pause
to permit the lion to recover his
startled wits, He began to steal grad
ually toward the foe. who now. in a
complete state OF doubt and fear
turned tail and decamped, leaving the
plucl1y and ingenious little bushman
master OF the situation.

BLACK BREAD OF GUETERsLoH
How Hlsmarck Started Craze for
WestphaIlan Pumpernlckei and
Made Fortune Of Bakers.

Guetersloh was town of some If
teen hundred Inhabitants some eighty
years ago when, one day during the
maneuvers, young lieutenant took
up his quarters there. This lieutenant
came from Pomerania, where they
also make black bread of fine quality,
but he liked better the peculiar flavor
Of the Westphalia article. His name
was Bismarck.
In the year 1870 Bismarck was
again travelling through Guetersloh
this time as chancellor. King William
was with him. When the train
stopped the prime minister called out
genially to the crowd that had come
to meet them:
Is there any one who can get us
some pumpernickel with buNer?"
AS number of reporters were pres
ent when this query was made the for.
tune Of the Guetersloh black bread
was made, und It speedily became the
fashion all over Germany. The craze
for Westphalian pumpernickel spread
far and wide, cunningly furthered by
the bakers who now baked for export
only small one-pound loaves, for the
purpose Of making 1t look more like
. delicatessen," as they say.
The bakers of Guetersloh were
worldly wise, for from the same

The Emotionals of a Young Girl.

In story in the July Woman's Home
Companion, Mary Heaton Worse makes
the following comment about the emo
tions of a young girl:
THE real emotions of young girl
and those that she makes up in her
head as appropriate for her are so hard
to distinguish one from another that
the only thing for mother to do is
to sit and wait and not interfere; sit
and wait to find out whether by her
interference she might kill some sweet
flower of the spirit. Even when a girl
is playing with emotions not her own,
but Alterations, the best thing for the
mother to do, I think, is to stay her
hand and to count it all as step in
her daughters necessary development"

JINGLES and JESTS
A Chance in China.

In China far away,
The agitators say,
They are looking for statesman who
can do things.
They used to be content
With a feeble government,
But they have now acquired taste FOR
new things.
The man with hat and grip,
Ever ready for trip,
If he finds constituents unsentimental
Has a chance to get in right
If he'll only hold light
For the steps of the uplifted Oriental.
China is the chosen land
For the man whose rugged hand
Yearns to clutch a megaphone and lead
the masses.
There the brand of tea they drink
Is not mildly tinged with pink,
And they don't hold out for dainty
"demmytasses."
II you find foeman bold
With a purpose uncontrolled.
To destruction you can have him quick
ly led off,
You need not delay your hopes,
Knocking him across the ropes
You can simply hire a man to chop his
head off.
