AN ETHICAL QUESTION.
Now, here's a nice question:

NOW, mere nice question:
Should man be required to pay for
the intoxicants which he consumed be-
fore reforming and giving up drink?
He gave his word that he would pay,
and the saloon keeper trusted him.
Now that he has given up drinking and
abandoned the path which degraded
him and made and kept him poor shall
it be required of him that he redeem
his word and pay for the liquors which
poisoned his better self?
This was the question which con-
fronted Nels Olson. He was a sailor.
Years ago his ship brought him to New
York. where the water front on South
and West streets is plentifully dotted
with the shops which supply strong
drink to the seafaring men. AS one re-
port puts it, there "he acquired rep
utation second to none for his ability
to stow away third rail- whisky"
For years Olson was only bum"
working just enough to give him food
and a bunk in one of the vile lodging
houses of the city and supply of in
and the saloon keepers permitted him to
''chalk up his account. But he always
paid. for under his sodden exterior
Olson had the soul of gentleman.

So with alternate periods of money
and lack of 1.-THE former marked by
Olsons paying for his drink and the
latter by his giving his promise to pay

Finally countryman of Olson's. a
clergyman. heard of him and determin-
ed to lead him on better road. After
much persuasion he made the man.
naturally intelligent. but sadly devas-
tated by liquor, see his faults. Now
Olson has reformed. He has a steady

So his friend and benefactor got Il
list of Olson's creditors and verified
the bills. When some of the dealers III
liquor heard of Olson's resolve they re-
fused to accept payment.
Who will say that Olson will not
make good citizen? There is plenty
of room for the spirit that refuses to
remain under an obligation, however
assumed. To the utmost penny he was
willing to pay. he wanted to start his
new life clean.

Encores and Kisses.

Kissing in playhouses had its origin
in Paris in 1850 on the occasion of the
presentation of FonteneVe's tragedy.
"Aspar." Prior to that time suffering
audiences We're wont to yawn audibly
and fall asleep when the apathy of the
actors and performances justified that
course. But on this occasion the indig-
nant audience. driven to desperat ton
by the platitudes of Aspar voiced their
anger by Kisses. which drove the ac-
tors into temporary retirement. accord
ing to the testimony Of the poet Roi,
who alludes to the incident in his ''Bre-
vet de la Calotte." Kissing thereafter
became fashionable
The first encore noted in the annals
of the stage was accorded to LivuS
AndronicuS, a Roman actor He was
popular with the masses and was called
back so often to repeat his speeches
that he in self defense brought n boy
to declaim for him while he himself
applied the gestures. While encores
became the rage in subsequent ages, it
Is known that Andronicus' plan of hal
ing an understudy before him before
the audience to share his honorS has
not generally been adopted by Thes-
plans.

Heart toHeart
Talks
THE TALE OF A TEA cADDY.
By CHARLES N. LURE.

Jessie Is going to own that tea caddy
soon. Perhaps she won't love it as
well then as she does now, but let's
hope that possession will give her as
much pleasure as she has derived from
anticipation.
If it does
Jessie will be the happiest girl in the
big city in which she lives.
Jessie is a poor girl. and she has to
work for her living in one of the city's
great department stores. She has each
day half an hour for lunch, but eating
It does not consume all Of the half
hour, so she slips off her apron and
takes walk.
One day she passed shop inwhich
were displayed for sale some genuine
antiques. Among them was perfect
love" of tea caddy, real silver tea
caddy, made in 1.-The elder days of art"
Into Jessie's soul came great desire
to possess that tea caddy. 1t would be
something with which to adorn her
room in the boarding house. something
to which she could talk in the evening
and tell her dreams and aspirations to.
For a whole day. in the intervals of
waiting on customers in the store, Jes-
sic dreamed of owning the tea caddy.
The next noon hour, fearing that it
might have been sold, she went again
to the antique shop. 1t was still in the
window, and, gazing on it. the longing
to own fairly filled Jessies heart and
drove her into the shop to ask the price.
TWENTY-FIVE dollars" said the man,
land it's bargain at the price. It's
genuine antique and solid silver"
Now. $50 is just little more than
Jessie earns in three weeks. and she
has never been able to accumulate any
surplus. But a great idea came to her.
"Will you sell the caddy to me- she
asked the dealer, IF pay you 80 cents
a week? want the tea caddy, but l
haven't the money to pay cash for it,
and so cents week is all can spare.
You may keep the tea caddy until it is
all paid for, but wish you would let
me come and look at it once in awhile"
Jessie has likable. honest face,
and the shopkeeper agreed. Twice a
week Jessie visits her tea caddy. and
once week she pays the man so cents.
Soon she will have clear title to the
piece of silver.
In the meantime it is an ideal some
thing to be lived up to and to live for
May we all have our ideals and live
up to them. as the poor shopgirl does
to hers!

THE DESTINATION.

The man will not get far who knows his
destination from the start. - Napoleon
Bonaparte.
So wrote the man who gave to the
world it's most brilliant example of rise
in worldly circumstances from small
beginnings. He was not good man:
some one said of him that "he was as
great as a man could be without a con-
science" but of his greatness there can
be no question.
A point that is often overlooked by
superficial readers of the life of Ma
poleon and yet one upon which all or
most of his biographers lay stress is
his capacity for work. He was indie
fatigable; he studied every minute de-
tail of his business. which was. first,
that of being soldier. and. second,
that of rulership over France.
Nothing escaped the general. When
he was about to attempt his famous
march over the Alps he himself in
spected every strap Of the artillery
horses harness in order to be sure that
every buckle was frightened properly.
And when his star blazed highest in
glory and he was emperor of the
French and master of continental Eu-
rope he supervised personally almost
every detil of the government 1t was
his habit of working hard that led to
his death at the comparatively young
age of fifty two.
1t is not necessary to tell the reader
that Nannlann did hSe,
nation from the start. AS his fortunes
advanced by his wonderful efforts he
advanced his goal. Having reached
one, he abandoned it for another.
farther on and higher, ever higher.
The schoolboy at the military school Of
Brienne dreamed of commanding
company: the general in Paris of lead
ing French army in the field. the
first consul of being emperor; the en-
peror of conquering the world.
Never did he say, 1T is finished:
have reached my goal" Always there
was something further to aspire to-
While the written word of history
lasts the world will argue the question
Of the good and evil accomplished by
Napoleon Bonaparte But this may be
said:
When the world shall see man who
shall unite in himself a conscience. a
sense of good to be accomplished for
others instead Of self. with the fore
sight of Napoleon Bonaparte. his genius
for government. his capacity for work,
his ability to recognize and his will to
reward able lieutenants, the world will
see its greatest man.
In the meantime. let US all take to
heart the lesson which his words teach
that we cannot advance far if we
know that our destination lies just
ahead.
There must be broader. further
horizon There must always be some
thing tu look forward to and work
up to.

The official is commissioner of the
United States courts in New York. He

court of common sense" for the occa-
sion. The Judge" called around him
eight of his colleagues and proceeded
to try the case.
Well. the evidence showed pretty con-
clusively that the bill belonged to the
claimant, and it was accordingly re-
stored to him. What is there to pay?"
he asked when the money was handed
to him by the court" Nothing was
the answer.
OF course
This was simple case. easy of de-
cision. All litigous affairs cannot be-
handled in that way. But many of
them become clear as sunshine when
viewed in the light of common sense
All that is needed is more of the get

pute over the ten dollar bill. The finder
was willing to give it up to the person
with rightful title to it The claim
ant, knowing that he could prove his
ownership, was willing to submit his
claim to an impartial jury of intelligent
men. There was no acrimony, no call
ing of names. call went merry as a
marriage bell.'
1t was happy name that was cho-
sen for the impromptu court-the "su-
preme court of common sense" In
fact, the laws under which we live are
theoretically the outcome, the refine
ment, the sublimation Of the common
sense of the ages.
Some folks think our lawmakers are
doing their best to spoil them by add
ing too many statutes.

GETTING OUT AND GETTING SOME

Berkeley Jones died and went unto

IAN honest comment on his life in a
newspaper is hard to make" said the
editor. I'VE do not want to say an IN
kind thing of him. He put nothing
into this world. and he got nothing

an early grave, and he could take none
of it with him. He was honest as he
saw honesty; obeyed the laws of the

Probably an honest commentary on
the life and methods of the deceased
man, for the editor could not have
written thus if his mind and heart had
not given approval of his hands action
in writing the words.
Note especially the sentence. HE put
nothing into this world, and he got
nothing out
From nothing. nothing is made"
says the old Latin saying and he that
puts nothing in life can expect nothing
as a return And the returns of life
are found in the proper satisfactions
of living. and these in their turn de-

upon what he is. With nothing LIE
