The physician was a guest at social
affair, and at dinner was placed be-
side an elderly lady whom he had not
previously met. Almost at once the
lady, who was inclined to garrulity,
began to talk.

remarked. ought I to call you doctor

TT Is about time that somebody called
a halt not only on the fool who fools
with a gun, but on the other Grim
inally careless individuals who go on
their devastating way through the
world, breaking hearts and running
homes, and who think they have suf-
ficiently atoned for the harm they do
by saying they didn't intend it.
In all the length and breadth of con-
Trajectory human nature there is moth
ing stranger than that we should take
this overly charitable view of careless
ness. The simple testimony that he
didn't know the gun was loaded" has
been accepted as a handsome apology
for murder in innumerahle cases. To
say we didn't think the rest of US
regard as blanket excuse that we can
stretch over all the lesser crimes in
the calendar. We work it for all that
1t is worth, yet in reality it is a plea
for pardon that nobody but an idiot
is justified in putting forth in his own
behalf

Criminal Carelessness

Mr.. and Mrs. X. discuss family

the pity Of the thing is that 1t is our
own criminal carelessness that lays its
foundations
There are also the crininally careless
people who terrorize society with the

A Parallel.
What reason that anybody ought to
| be expected TO accept. can an intelli-
gent human being give for not think
ing? 1t always reminds me of a col
ored philosopher once knew, who
melted out a stern justice to her off
spring, and who was particularly Sc
we're on them when they dared to offer
the excuse, IT didn't think" by way of
panacea for their shortcomings.
Didn't think, didn't think" she would
exclaim, wrathfully, ''whut's de good in
| havin' a thinker eff you don't wuk it4'
So say we all, brethren and sisters
| what's the user
To take the matter up In Its most
practical aspect is to recognize the fact
| that it is other peoples carelessness
that lays our heaviest burdens upon
u.s. This Is especially true as regards
women. and there isn't a mother, and
wife, and housekeeper in the land who
| doesn't know that It ia because her
family don't think that she must slave
at a never ending job, that has no let
UP from years end to years end.
Even more to be deplored than this
is the lack of thought we show in our
conduct to those of our own household
and whose happiness or misery lies in
our hands. often think that when
the great Judgment day comes for each
OF us, and we must answer for the deeds
done in the flesh. we shall not be so
appalled, by the one or two great wrongs
we may have committed as by the thou
sand little acts of criminal carelessness
that darken our past.
The Saddest Sight.
What, for instance, are those hus-
bands going to say who took the jewel
of womans happiness In their keep
ing and then were so careless that they
threw it away? The world is full of
heart hungry wives, who are starving
for a little appreciation. a little love,
little praise. We don't recognize IL as
a tragedy because we are too familiar
withS'it; but there is really no sight
sadder than Of the woman who spends
accepts her labor without thanks. who
passes over her achievements without
commentator, and who growls and
grumbles over every mistake.
Another place where we deserve to do
time for our criminal carelessness is
in the way we talk before servants.
We discuss the most intimate matters
before them. We hazard guesses at
peoples motives. We repeat rumors OF
intrigues. We talk as If the maid who
was waiting behind our chair were as
deaf as the adder of the scriptures and
dumb as coffin nail, instead of be-
ing an elongated ear and talking ma
chine combined.
Then, when a distorted and garbled
report goes forth of some family hap
pening we wonder how on earth 1t got
out. Perhaps 1t Is not far short of the
truth to say that we are all the au-

TO be the best suited for this special
work of any minister In the diocese

The present plans of the institutions
are that 1t shall furnish boys, this
sons OF parents of moderate means,
with good educational and religious
training at a lower cost than the DR.

intended to be profit-making institu-

control of or owned by the diocese. yet
1t has its endorsement and Is under
its patronage. 1t il hoped after tho
first few years TO have buildings 70
accommodate some two or three hum
dred boys. The site donated by Mr..
William King is ideal in many res
spects. and besides being a most
healthy location. 1t possesses some o.
the most beautiful scenic views In this
