he packed his kit and started to walk

young man. He was completely abb
sorbed in listening to the cross-ex-
animation Of witnesses and the argu-
ments of counsel. He had never been
inside courtroom before.
"As soon as he got to Buffalo he
set up little cobbling shop, borrowed
one or two law books and read while
he cobbled, exactly as Henry Wilson
did, excepting. that Daniels read law
books and Wilson read history and
biography.
Wilson began to take part in the
caucuses of his time and soon made 1t
plain to the people that he had great
gifts as g. politician. Daniels, after he
had read law enough and had been
given some opportunity In a Buffalo
office, was admitted to the bar and
1t was not long before he was able to
close the door of his cobbling shop,
for he soon gained a fairly renumera-
tive practice.
Doesn't that seem to you very
impressive illustration of what Ameri-

ceptional ability, and now about to

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours

SEPTEMBER ~
Anne of Austria
Copyrighted 1914.

d MANI
One of the favorite arguments of
women suffragists in favor of the
executive capacity of women is that
women rulers have almost invariably
been successful. True, says the
cynic, for when a king Is on the
throne woman is the virtual ruler.
and when queen reigns the govern
ment is In the hands of a man. In
the case of Anne of Austria, who
came into the world on September
%, 1901, this seems to be true. For 1t
was when Anne of Austria was re-
gent of France, during the minority
of her son, Louis XIV, that the bril-
liant Cardinal Mazarin was the real
ruler of France-and Mazarin was
one of the most capable rulers that
France has ever had.
Mazarin was an Italian parvenu.
He was educated as Jesuit, and 1t
was more because of his wonderful
diplomatic talents than because Of
any great display of moral integrity
that he was chosen. pspal legate to
the court of France. In the course of
time he openly entered the service OF
the King of France, Louis XIII, and
obtained through his influence the
cardinals hat.

superstition when he calls tears 'eye-
offending brine"
Tears Notwithstanding are neither
offensive, unmanly nor useless. In
deed, a bacteriologist recently at work
in the Paris Pasteur laboratory has
reported that human and canine tears
are both useful in more than a mes
chanical way.
While 1t is true that tears are a
necessary fluid to purge the eyelids
of mucous, dust, dirt and various other
accumulations, it has now been de-
termined that they also serve an even
stronger purpose. When the bacteria

their power and strength. Perhaps
this fact explains why "conjuncti-
Wits" or pink eye, matter in the eyes,
granulated lids and similar disturb
ances of the ocular apparatus are less
often found in women than men.
From inheritance, disuse, or inhibi-
! tiori masculine tears are fewer and
farther between than those of the
gentler sex. Many additional reasons
may account for this.
Men drink less water and milk, and
much more alcohol than women.
| Water and milk have a tendency to
create tears; alcoholic beverages tend
to check them and injure the tear
| bags. Moreover men work ard use
their muscles more vigorously than

sively and thus leave little fluid to
be wasted in tears.

! A startling discovery recently made

in the upper and outer corner of the
eye not only manufactures tears, but
also, like the thyroid gland, gener-

Another thing advanced in the argu-

better. air and food purer. When

than the city workman. With lower
cost of real estate and less congested
railroad yards the small-town fac

cost, and hence undersell the city fac
tory. This Is why so many large

One OF the last offices of the late
Pope Plus x. was a caution to all
Roman Catholics not to hold the war
thought, the thought of strife and
bloodshed, not to harbor the misera-
BILE mental pictures OF slaughter and
frightful torture that the war sug-
gests.
How little most of us realize that in
constantly picturing in the mind the
horrors Of war, the awful butchery
and frightful suffering, we tend to
reproduce In our own lives the very
wounds and scars, the mutilation
which we visualize. The mental SEN
sitive plates are constantly etching
the details Of every picture that pass
es before them.
Why is it that people take into their
minds these things which torture
them and make their lives miserable
and inefficient? Whv is 1t that they
harbor the very thoughts and emo
tions which counteract the very
things which they are trying to bring
about-health, harmony, peace, pros
perity? Why do they countenance
these things when 1t Is so easy to
shut them out, to replace these enemy
thoughts, these decorating, mutilating
thoughts and emotions, with health
and harmony and peace thoughts and
emotions?
If people only knew the terrible
havoc which their vicious mental pic
lures play in their lives, If they could
only see the wounds, the scars which
they leave, they would instantly shut
their minds door to the enemies of
their peace and happiness.
Mental healers tell us that they
never allow themselves to picture in
their minds the horrible symptoms
of the disease they are trying to
heal They never allow themselves
to visualize the physical image Of
mutilation. because, in order to re-
store health and harmony, they must
hold the picture OF health and har-

Across dull meadowlands, DER winding streams.

Lost in the blue of distances, afar,
1t is way of dreams, that does not end
This side the farthest star.
The meadow bridge, the distant steeple tall,
The wooded slope where shifting shadows lie,
Like loyal friends, across the years still call,
To whisper memories of the days gone by.
What garnered glories have the sunsets flung
Upon the canvas of the mst-draped West!
What treasured incense twilght's swung
Across the fields of rest!
Oh, tell me- where in all the wide wide world,
Aeolus tunes his harp to softer song
Than threads these trees when darkness is nfurled
And all is hushed, the shadowy hills among?
Oh, friend to this old, forsaken road
With all its wistful windings Ger the sod,
Is just misty ladder to the stars

A vital Point Overlooked.

from Jne opflugHelu teepuplicuh
Is 1t not possible that the German
strategists, who computed so labor
iously every detail of their enormous
and brilliant invasion of France,
made a miscalculation at one vital
point? Human endurance has its
limits, and it must have reached the
breaking point by the time the mo-
ment for the great coup came. Tho
principles of warfare are the same,
whether a thousand men fight or q
million on either side, whether the
battle lire is a mile long or hun
dred leagues. But to the human unit,
the atom out of which the whole mill
tary structure is fabricated. the diff
ference is immense, and this failed
because of miscalculation as to the
breaking point of the human ma
lerial. The builder cannot do with
brick what he may do with steel, nor
With earth what he may do with

ion more terrible, the endurance of

Caesars legions. or of the compact
army of Frederick the Great. 1t is
not surprising, therefore, to see ac-
counts of the exhausted condition of
the enveloping army which for a
month had been fighting its way from
belgium to Paris against stiff resis-
ance. The German theory OF war. a
formidable theory, has always made
xtreme demands on its troops, and
ortified them for it by drill. But as
ampaigns become bigger the strain
dramatically becomes greater; in the
resent colossal movement 1t seems to
ave reached the breaking point.
