NATHAN STRAUS HOME.
Consoled in His Sorrow by the HerO-
 ism of His Brothers Death.
(New York Sum-

INV" IOl n odii./
 Nathan Straus and his wife arrived home by the Caronia Wednesday night after an absence in Europe and Pal estine of nearly four months. MT Straus appeared much fatigued and showed the effects of the illness that overcame him in Palestine in the first week in April and prevented his be- ing present on April 15 at the seventh international congress against tuber- culosis in Rome, to which he was sent by President Taft as the senior Am erican delegate.
 MT. Straus was in Rome when he was informed of the deaths of his brother Isidor Straus and Mrs. Straus, in the Titanic disaster. Those who were with him at the pier last night said that he had dreaded the home coming because of the unavoidable re- vival of the thoughts of the tragedy. He left the pier immediately and was driven to his home. In response to questions he said:
 There is such a shadow of sorrow hanging over my heart that I am not in a condition to talk. But I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks for the overwhelming g tokens of sympathy which have pour ed forth from all parts of the world. The one gleam of consolation I find in the darkness is the thought that

 'rI have always heard a good deal of Christian love, but it is too often found wanting. thought that by going to Palestine to the fountainhead I should surely find it. I return more bewil- dered than ever at the mutual hatred of the believers in the various creeds. Turkish soldiers of the Moslem faith guard the Holy Sepulchre to keep the peace between Greek Church and Roman, while these same Christians unite in prosecuting the race from which their Saviour sprang. Love one another went forth the mandate from Jerusalem, and how pitifully has n been forgotten. will it ever be thus?

over the heads of the rebel host.

Whittier's poem follows closely the story as conveyed to the poet in let ter written to him in 1863 by Mrs. B. D. E. N. Southworth, the well known
 novelist, giving version which was
 current at the time and generally believed. But the above, which IS
 here published for the first time, is the story told by Dame Barbara her self to the niece of her husband, who attended her in her last illness, ana who, tired of the controversy. which has waged ever since, has consented to it's publication and adds that she IS willing to make an affidavit to it.
 Following closely .the Confederate army came the Union troops, who gaz-
 ed in wonder at the venerable woman as she stood at the window of her little home, proudly waving the flag that had already done such noble ser vice. There was great excitement in the ranks and it is said that scores left the line, and crowding to her porch, asked her name and how old she was General Reno riding up, held a conversation with her and ask ed her to give him the flag. This she refused, but presented to him a larg- CT one. When, two days afterward, General Reno was killed at the bat tie of South Mountain, the flag was found on his person and was sent with his body to his relatives in Mas sachusets, who treasure it to this day She also gave General Reno a glass of her own homemade grape wine, and this wine set, with the exception of one glass, is now in the possession of Mrs. John H. Abbott. The miss ing glass was sent to the poet Whit tier on his last birthday anniversary, before his death, together with photo graphs of the two historic flags, and he wrote her beautiful letter of thanks.

Two-THIRDs RULE so YEARS OLD
First Adopted by the Democrats at
 Baltimore in 1882.
Mew York Sunl

A
 With the dates for the two national conventions only few weeks off now and the race hot one for both nom-
 nations there is one point of differ ence between the two gatherings which is likely to be overlooked by some in figuring on possibilities but which cuts a big figure in estimating the chances of man at Chicago as compared with the chances of another at Baltimore. The feature that makes all this difference is the two- thirds rule of Democratic conventions.
 The two-thirds rule means simply that the successful nominee at Balti- more must have two-thirds of the del- egates or. there is no choice. At Chi cago a plain majority rules. It has consequently always been easier to fig ure out the chances of a candidate at a Republican convention than those of Democratic aspirant. The two thirds rule allows all sorts of last hour combinations to be made to up- set things. It has made Democratic conventions as a rule much more un- certain things than the Republican party's powwOwS
 The rule requiring two-thirds to make choice goes back in the Demo- cratic party to it's first national con- vention, called, curiously enough, at Baltimore in 1892, to renominate An drew Jackson. Although Jackson was universally accepted as the candidate this convention saw fit to make a rule that "two-thirds of the whole number of the votes in the conven- tion shall be necessary to constitute a choice" That same rule has been readopted by every Democratic na- tional convention since. It is" there- fore even more time-honored than the so-called unit rule of the party, by which a majority can bind an entire delegation.
 Although the two-thirds rule has been binding law of the party since 1892 in only one instance has it ever been actually invoked That was in 18A. also at Baltimore, when the friends of Martin Van Buren tried hard to prevent it's adoption, knowing that while Van Buren had a major ity of the delegates he could not se- cure the necessary two-thirds. That convention by vote of 14S to 11S,

Brown was a city wight who turned His mind to rural ways; He left the city, where he'd spent So many busy days; He took along his overalls, Because he said he knew He'd have to toll from morn til night Just like he used to do.

 To the loyal old lady 'the troops' meant only one army, the Northern, and when she heard the sound of marching feet, she rose, and taking a small silk flag, which she had removed from it's staff and hidden in her Bible for safe keeping, she stepped out upon the porch and waved it at the passing men. Instantly a murmur arose, and an officer, riding up to the porch, said. kindly:
 Granny, you had better take your flag in the house."
 q won't do it. I won't do it." said the old lady, childishly; and then, be- coming aware for the first time that it was the men in gray that were pass ing, she defiantly shook the flag at them.
 The excitement in the ranks now in- creased, and threatening murmurs arose, so that another officer left the line and said to her:
 'Old woman, put that flag away, or you may get in trouble.''
 F"T won't!" she replied, and repeated her action. Angry shouts arose from the men, and third officer approach ing the porch sternly said
 ''If you don't stop that you'll have that flag shot out of your hand"
 The first officer, who had remained throughout this scene, thereupon turn ed to the last speaker and exclaimed angrily. eff you harm a hair of her head, I'll shoot you like a dog!" And. all day long that free flag toss

MERELY MATTER OF "NERvEs"

Is the Victim of Business or

The newest German medical the
DR.. Sadolin, the nerve specialist, is
that an occasional family scrap is the
finest tonic in the world for married
couples, but that continuous petty
strife will, in the end, wear out the
most vigorous constitution.
The nagger is about the most un-
happy creature in existence, however
high the bid her husband, but putting
up with her, may make for a Carnegie
prize for heroism. She doesn't get any
real relief from her own sufferings
and the more she makes unhappy
those about her, the more miserable
she is herself. II her husband will
only stay scared half to death for the
next couple of weeks. they stand a
fair chance of getting along together,
is the philosophical German view of
marital predicament which is pecu-
liar to SO many households.
There are, however, other authori-
| ties who are less inclined to advocate
the extreme measure of a rebellious
and insubordinate husband. Indeed,
on this side of the Atlantic, there are
prominent physicians who do not hesi-
tate to say that we have men naggers

Potts. Men can be mighty cranky,
especially to their subordinates in the

United States who can name men

appear to take delight in continual
