Behind the Times.

The experience of young Massa-
chusetts avenue shopkeeper illustrates
the theory that innocence is some
times innocent bliss, when a fire
breaks ou. in the building where ones
store is situated.
The changing of the fire wagon bells
failed to disturb the distinct business
like atmosphere in the Massachusetts
avenue shop, one afternoon recently.
Il wonder where the fire is?" re-
marked the owner carelessly, and
business proceeded in it's regular chan
nels
Fifteen minutes later the young pro-
prietor glanced toward the front of
his store and saw the legs of a fireman
descending a ladder which protruded
into the second story of the building.
The owner of the store ran to his
desk, got his fire insurance papers and
hurried to the sidewalk.
Hey there, Mr. Fireman" he shout
ed excitedly, waving his insurance
papers in the air. "Is there a fire in
this building?"
There was one here Is minutes
ago." responded the man in the he'll
met laconically.- Indianapolis News.

DENIES THEORY OF LoMBRoso
Equally High Authority Asserts That
There is No Distinct Type
of Criminal.

Dr. Charles Goring is the latest
criminologist to combat the theories
of Lombroso and to assert that there
is no such thing as a criminal type.
DR.. Goring admits that there are some
persons who are naturally criminals,
but he denies that their icriminality
shows itself by physical stigmata-
Seeing that criminality is purely ar
tificial distinction, it is hard to under
stand why nature should aid in the
classification. Our social system has
seen fit to select a small number OF
the almost innumerable ways of be-
ing wicked and to label them as GRIM
inal. The other ways are not labeled
as criminal, although they may actual
fy involve much greater moral tur-
pitude. 1t is not the function of so
ciety to prevent people from being
wicked, but only to prevent them from
being wicked in such ways as are
particularly perjudicis1 to the rest Of
the community: There was q time
when it was criminal to read the Bible.
1t is still criminal to do some things
of which the moral sense may highly
approve. We can hardly expect ma
ture to give her sanction to our arti-
fetal distinctions.

THE GENESIS OF THE HoRRLE

Captain MacManus, master airiga'
tor, leaned idly pn the pneumatic star
board rail of the great New York re-
ceiving float of the Five Continents
& Australia Aerial line and gazed
down at Manhattan Island, 5000 feet
below, as it was in the year 1862.

l0,000-foot level at the rate of 1;G
miles an hour, lay in her clips on toe
float, impatient to be released and
tear herself away from contact with
things near-mundane. Tiny 300-foot
express packets from Washington,
Chicago, Pittsburg and other nearby
points were swarming to the float,
discharging their passengers and
mails for the big Express, taking their
release signals and scurrying back
whence they came.
1t was scene that the captain had
seen year after year, yet he never
tired of witnessing the silent swift
ness with which the thing was man

At Hull, England, school is being
built under a scheme of the Hull Cor
poration, and its purpose is the train
ing of men for the fishing industry.
The roof will be similar to the dock
of North Sea trawler, fitted with
wheelhouse and compass, two masts,
semaphore posts for signaling and all
the necessary lights, SO that the stu
dents may be taught the principles OF
navigation in as nearly as possible the
same conditions as on the high seas.
Among other departments, the school
will possess net-repairing room ano
a net-making room, and each class
room will be fitted with all appliances
necessary to the instruction of naviga
ton and seamanship.

The captain studied longer.
The figure on the photograph was
different from anything ever seen or
dreamed of in the year 1862. Appar-
emily it represented some creature

Independence Of solitude.

+. What l must do, is all that con-
Germs me, not what the people think.
This rule, equally arduous in actual
and in intellectual life, may serve for
the whole distinction between great
ness and meanness. 1t is the harder,
because you will always find those
who think they know what is your
duty better than you know it. 1t is
easy in the world to live after the
worlds opinion; it is easy in solitude
to live after our own; but the great
man is he who in the midst of the
crowd keeps with perfect sweetness
the independence of solitude.-Emer-

Robert Burns belongs in the very

AS song writer he stands along
with Goethe, Heine and Beranger, and
as a satirist he ranks well up with
Juvenal and Pascal. His "Coter's Sat

and his Holy Fair are simply mimi

most consummate masterpieces of the

Of Mr.. C. B. Free as clerk of court

to be considerable difference of opin-
ion as to whether or not there should
be an election to fill out the uneX-
pired term, some holding that the
governor has no authority to appoint
where the unexpired term is longer
than one year. 1t is understood that
Judge of Probate Harmon claimed
the office until a successor was legally
commissioned, but the keys were not
turned over to him. There is some
talk of the matter being carried to
the courts. The remaining term is
for about two years, and it seems that
the law on the question is somewhat
confusing. Mr.. W. E. Free has taken
