100 Years Ago Today

n NE hundred years ago today con-
gress passed an act authoriz-
ing the purchase of the British
vessels which had been captured in the
battle of Lake Erie September 10, 1873
for $225,O0O, to be distributed as prize
money among the officers and crews
Of the American ships that had par.
ticipated in the famous naval victory.
Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, who
had commanded at the battle, was
voted an additional sum Of $4,000. BY
the same act congress authorized the
collection and preservation of flags,
cOlors and standards captured in the
land and naval engagements during
the second war with Great Britain.
The interesting collection of battle
flags that resulted from this act is
still preserved in the national capital

ceedingly filthy and unattractive, was
as sweet and clean as a home should
be. Mrs B. watched the children's
health, their school work, and their
employment when they were old
enough to 90 to work. 1t is not sur
prising that Mrs B. and Mrs. n grew
to be like sisters. We have only to
the struggles of the poor and to see
the fOrtitude and bravery with which
they meet their difficulties, to con
vince US that in some way we are
closely related after all the apparent
differences.
Many Can Do Personal Service.
Not all the persons who have the
impulse to do good to others feel that
they can do friendly visiting. Young
women especially feel that they can
not give counsel TO a mother about
household and family affairs. For
these there are many kinds Of oppOr-
tunities for personal service.
One young woman in a distant city
was particularly successful in her
work of comforting older women who
were living out their rema lining DAYS
was most resOurceful in the kinds OF
cheer she took to the older women
in their homes. Another young woman
found her best work to be in tutoring
them for their life work with a much
better equipment For one little girl
who had a speech defect this beau
tlful young woman took lessons her
self from a speech defect specialist
and so knew how to teach the poor
little girl She became as a fairy god
mother to every little waif she taught
and they regarded her slightest wish
as law
Other young women have had their
desire to do good to others satisfied
by merely assisting in the office of an
associated charities. One had regu-
lar hours for tending door" The
charming and gracious manner with
which she met every applicant for aid
and asked them what they wished
meant more to those blighted lives
than all the material things that came
to them afterwards
These are only a few suggestions OF
the personal things the world is in
need Of as well as suggestion Of the
ways In which some who are hungry
To do to others have their desire sat
isfied.

Killing Of Editor by StateEman's Wife

Paris, France, April 1S.-Joseph Call
laux. the leader Of the Radical and the
Socialist Radical parties, will not be
allowed by his friends 20 retire from
French politics. as he announced he
would do the day after his wife shot
CASTOR Calmette. the editor of the
Figaro. NJ. CaiIlaux did withdraw as
finance minister from the cabinet he
constructed with NJ Doumergue as the
premier. but he is still constantly con-
suited by subordinate leaders of the
two great groups in the chamber of
which he is the chief. And it is under
stood to be his advice which guides the
campaign now going on throughout
France for the elections April &c.
The first popular impression after
the killing of Calmette was that Call
laux's career was ruined. No one ap-
pears to think SO now, as it became
evident that he could have had nothing
whatever to do with causing an act
that threw into disorder his far reach
ing political plans. The opinion Of old
parliamentary observers is that the
shooting Of Calmette is only an Incl
dent in the rise of the most powerful
politician in France.
