a fighting chance for life. Burned al

had for life and so many of his friends
volunteered that the necessary two
square feet of cuticle will be easy to
obtain.
Wabeno is the victim of alcohol. The
cork in the alcohol bottle worked
loose, his coat became soaked and the
fluid dripped from his clothing to the
lighted lantern he was carrying. Be
fore he could protect himself his en-
tire body was enveloped in flames. He
threw himself upon the ground to ex-
tinguish the flames. He was picked up
By a farmer who heard his cries and
brought to this city.

GOOD MANS ONLY EXCUSE
Simply 1t Is This: "a Have Done My
Best and Accomplished
Nothing"

The deeds of good men are like can.
dies blown out with one blast; and he
is only good who gives all he can. It
is not enough to give little, he must
give himself; like bird singing in
springtine, offering its whole body to
the sun. The good man knows that to
plead the old excuse, II have done
nothing" is to plead guilty to crime
II have done my best and accom-
plished nothing" That he may and
must say; and that man can show
better record upon earth than he who
has done much; for the world loves
villain and despises the victims. Alex
ander and Napoleon live forever, but
who thinks Of those they slaughtered!
The philosophy of men and deeds
may be summed up in one sentence
They whom the world can understand
are great, they whom the world can
not understand are rogues until they
die. The maid of Domremy was
witch while she lived. Socrates was
a corrupter of morals, Christ was
brawler in the temple and all were
murdered. The shedding Of blood is
the one act that the world does IN
derstand, therefore the title Great is
given to those who have shed the
most. But the good men, the So
crates who sheds light upon human
folly, the little father of the birds
and flowers, the chaplain of lazaf'
island, who gives the title Great to
these? They cannot live until they
are dead; not until their bones have
persisted are they loved and then with
the wondering kindness of pity, OF IN
difference-From Granite" by John
Trevena.

CALLS FOR PITY FOR RIrs
Condition of Poor MilIionsl,. =.
Doesn't Know What to Do wiz, "as
His Money.

my dear, ignorant friend" ,.,,
western millionaire to a humble ~ .
York hack writer, according - NsS
New York Sun, you don't know =. .us
you are talking about when vou 'as'
you wish you had the money ba 10y
or similar amount.
Its you that has the adv.n..
over me by long odds. You con
anywhere you please at any timo ~ -
please, and if you need money -. .S
you never need great deal. all ra S
have to do is to take out your wv wv
and pencil, dash off something ra" as
able, and your income follows at aboa,
notice.
But look at me. l had a busiro,.
out West that was asked to % ir.'
trust and the request was in th'
nature of a command which moons
trust or bust, and l went into u.
trust. Now I have million and
half of the stock and million =
raw cash, and what in thunder am )
to do with it? The stock is all rich,
but what about the cash?
Can you tell me where I can M.
that much money where it will be- safa
and bring me in a fair return? pvs
got to have the return, sure, for nv
living expenses are over $4,000 a
year, and $4,000 a year on the sds
is all I have to meet them with Thu
stock ought to pay a dividend, and 4
very Ii ely will, but l don't know
that, and l do know what my ey.
penses are. So what am l to do with
that idle million?
Its been idle for a week now and
at per cent that means very nearly
$1,000. Add my expenses of $1,000
a week, and I am dropping 100000 a
year. Is there anything about hack
writing as disagreeable as that? Do
you think you would be any happier,
or more free from care, if you had my
money? Maybe you would, but I
can't see it from my viewpoint"
