OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

song, "a Policemans Life Is Not a
Happy one. Now comes a story
from New York that enterprisipg
criminals are using the facile ac-
quaintanceship of public tea dances
TO further their criminal pursuits.
combining "innocent enjoyment and
shrewd strokes of business" by the
way.
In the case in question the GRIM
inal nicknamed the Tango Raffles,"
lies seriously wounded i'm a hospital
and his victim has been fortunate
enough to recover her property. 1t
is the belief of the police, however.
that in many cases victims of similar
attempts have suffered loss without
complaint rather than have the en-
barrassment of public knowledge
of their indiscreetness.
The so-called modern dances have
come in for so much discussion that
almost everything pro and con that
can be said about them seems to
have been said. They are no longer
fad or a craze, but one of the ac-
copied factors of social life. In
dulged with reason and even a mod
icum of discretion, it is probably the
general opinion that they are both
healthful and enjoyable.
Yet it is undeniable that they have
marked one more step in the loosing
of the bonds of convention that bind,
or are supposed to bind, mice peo-
ple'' The mountaineering formed
on a dancing floor seem so ephemeral
that very many women are disposed
to tolerate and even to encourage
men about whom they know abso-
lutely nothing except that they make
a good appearance and dance well.
Naturally not all women who care
to dance are in this class, particular
| ly in Philadelphia, where promiscu-
Gus dancing has not the vogue that
| il has attained elsewhere. But there
are a surprising large number who
may need a word of caution against
| the wolves not lin sleeps clothing
but in evening dress, who seek &C.
quaintance through the dance.

these are some of the names that will
go down in medical history, but it is
John d. Rockefeller who has made
many of these achievements possible.
He has cared nothing for the fame
or the credit; he has been content to
remain far in the background; but
none the less has he been building
and improving along the line of
human service and betterment.-A

Used to Entertainments

a couple arrived one evening at u

young baby.
I'm sorry said the manager,
firmly, but you can't take that baby
into the hall"
why not, sir?" asked the aston
ished father.
"Well, 1t might cry and create a
general disturbance"
"Oh, lor'. no, sir!" was the prompt
reply. "Baby's used to going to en-

Wireless

A spirit poised on the winds am l.
Held at rest by power divine;
In din or silence of earth and sky
The hush of listening heart is mine.
Wild birds, passing tireless wing,
I Cry aloud as they speed along.
White sails out from the harbor swing,
And gayly rises the sailors song.
The earth's dark pageant moves beneath,
The lights of the armament and wane.
The day is plunged in its shadowy sheath,
And drawn its glistening length again.
But never the sky, and never the sea,
Starry with lights, or abrim with stars;
Never the morning speaks to me,
Never the sunsets crimson bars.
O hear the whispering winds that come,
With not thrill to my waiting heart;
Unheeded rises the citys hum
The city and are things apart
Till soft, on the silently beating air,
wordless whisper, secret sign,
Straight to my spirit message bear,
Caught from a spirit attuned to mine.
When 10 with mighty, soundless cry
My soul leaps after its answer sent;
The wise old world goes laundering by,
But spirits akin have touched and blent..

Messenger Boy Who Returns Lost MIL

lion Dollars, Got SO Reward.
NEW YORK. Oct. IA breathless
messenger boy rushed up to the desk
in the Hotel Aston last night and de-
handed to see Martin J. King, one
of the guests.
"Tell him that | got a million dol
lars of his. Found it in the subway
the startled clerk was informed.
Mr.. King, who is vice-president of
a newly-formed stock company in
Chicago came in response to a sum-
mons. After a casual glance at the
bundle of wealth Mr.. King thanked
the finder and handed him a So bill.
The recipient fingered the money
for a moment and then entered a
loud protest.
Mr.. King smiled patiently, Then he
said: ooh, very we'll; give me the s.
and I'll let you keep the grip with
all those bonds in it,
The bonds were only samples sub
mitted by a local engraving house
for Mr.. King to select a design from.
The total value of the outfit was
about 81. The youth pinned the bill
in the lining of his vest and went
away from there.

How TO Capture Latin-American Business
From Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The foreign trade of all the twenty
Latin republics south of the Rio
Grande is less than two-thirds the
foreign trade of the United States,
But Central and South American
commerce is still a rich enough prize
to make it worth our whilo to go
after.
To win a greater share of that
trade is not going 70 be easy, ana
it is vital for this country to under
stand that fact at the very outset.
Frederick l.. Bailey has called at
tention TO some of the difficulties in
a recent article in the Public Ledger.
The United states must make
goods which the Latin-Americans
wish to buy and not what the North
Americans desire to sell. Our pro-
ducers must expect to sell ON long
credits. They must also face greater
risks in making collections.
A large part of all the government
bonds fioated by Central and South
America is owned by Europe. Trade
naturally follows the flow of money,
and preference will always be given
by customers to the countries which
supply their capital.
our banking facilities in South
America are crude compared with
those of England, Germany and
France. So IL the United States
hopes to capture more Latin-Ameri-
can business, it must go thoroughly
into a great many economic ques-
tions which are not faced here at
home or in Canada.
But if a thorough preparation in
dealing with that trade will reopen
American mills and give employment
to American labor, the effort will pro-
duce an immense financial return.

compliment when the famous pub
Usher left large estate TO Mrs. Gait
without restrictions, but with the pur-
pose of having ii used to promote the
cause of woman suffrage.
Saying nothing whatever about the
merits of the cause, the confidence
shown in Mrs. Cats integrity, as
we'll as in her ability, Is certainly one
of the most remarkable compliments
that has been paid any American
within recent years.
The best of it is that no one doubts
the confidence reposed in the famous
suffrage leader. Mrs. Frank Leslie
took up the work of her first hus-
band and carried il on with great
success after Frank Leslie died.
1t is announced. however, that the
effort will be made by collateral rela-
tives to break the will. There are in
many families the notion that anyone
related or affiliated closely to the
survivors is in honor bound, as well
as in law, to give his or her estate to
those relatives and not devote 1t to
any other purpose.
1t appears to be chiefly on the
ground. although it is necessary to
show something out of the way, I'M
due influence or incapacity, in order
to destroy a will and have property
divided under the law relating to
those who die without making will;
but all that is besides the point.
The bequest in this case must
greatly advance the prestige of Mrs.
Gait. but we do not know anything
that can win for her a higher degree
of confidence or respect than that
which she had already attained be-
fore the million dollar gift was COM
mitted to her care and disposition.

Hen Mothers Brood of Four Chimney
Swallows.

BROOKLINE. N. H., Oct. 14.-For
five days hundreds of visitors from
neighboring towns We're attracted to
this small town to witness a strange
sight, namely, to see an old mother
hen feed four baby swallows and
cuddle them fondly under her wings.
For five days the hen cared for
the baby swallows. The sixth day
the owner of the motherly hen went
to the poultry yard and found that
the five days Of constant attention
had proved too much and the baby
swallows were dead. Opinion is di-
vided as to whether the hen overfed
the fledglings or if they died from
too much handling by curious visi-
tors.

Thou art not dead when l can love
