IS MATTER OF COMPARISON
True Significance of Worlds Styling a
Man Wise and Virtuous Beyond
His Fellows.

1t is usual to compare n man with
another; and finding very few whom
we can call wise or virtuous, we are
apt to entertain a contemplate notion
of our species in general. That we
may be sensible of the fallacy of this
way of reasoning, we may observe
that the honorable appellations of
wise and virtuous are not annexed to
any particular degree Of those quail
ties of wisdom and virtue, but arise
altogether from the comparison we
make between n man and another.
When we find a man who arrives at
such a pitch of wisdom as is very I'M
common, we pronounce him a wise
man; so that to say there are few
wise men in the world is really to say
nothing; since it is only by their scar
city that they merit that appellation.
Were the lowest Of our species as wise
as Lord Bacon, we should still have
reason to say that there are few wise
men. For in that case we should eX-
alt our notions Of wisdom, and should
not pay a singular homage to anyone
who was not singularly distinguished
by his talents.-David Hume.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR FUTURE
Number of Coliege-Trained Men in
Business Is Of the Highest
Significance.

There was a time when half the col
lege graduates Of America became
clergymen, and when the legal and
medical professions swallowed up
nearly all the other half. Now, less
than 5 per cent of the men who com
plete college courses go into the min
istry, and the three learned profess
sions' together number only a minor
ity of the college-trained population
Of the country.
This illustrates not only the rapid
spread of higher education in the Uni
ted States. but the way in which So
ciety is constantly differentiating into
more and more diverse occupations.
Go back far enough in history, and
there was but one trained profession,
the ecclesiastical. In more recent
times there were three-law, medicine
and the church. Today, no one knows
how many lines of effort deserve the
name of learned"
In fact, business itself is rapidly ap-
preaching the status Of a profession,
both in the learning required and in
the ethical standards which are being
set up to guide the business man. 1t
is this fact, quite as much as faith in
legal enaotments and prohibitions,
which makes the average citizen look
for more fair play In the future than
ever has prevailed in the past.

SAWNGANOUTCAST
By MARAH ALICE PETERS.


For good or bad, the world all be-
before mel Freedom, health-which
path shall / take?"
The man who spoke was an ex-con-
Wet He had just been released from
the penitentiary after serving a ten
years sentence for embezzlement- He
was not thirty-ive, yet his hair was
streaked with gray and there was a
certain hardness about the lips that
comes from solitude and resentment.
In a word, Mark Burnham, with lit
tie Dr. no bringing up, an orphan from
a tender age, had wasted five years Of
his life, had secured a good position.
Finally temptation had come, he had
appropriated funds of his employer
and had been convicted.
During all those years Of hard labor
he had preserved a stolid, rather than
a submissive attitude. He had count
ed the days on a notched stick. The
last one had been reached. He was
freed with a new suit of clothes and
a few dollars in his pocket. At the
door of the prison he was met by a
lawyer. A distant relative had left
him $4,000. A free man, he could
now claim it.
The snug little fortune or its equiv.
alent now reposed within a secret
pocket, That afternoon he had walked
to a line Of hills overlooking the coun-
try around, to analyze his unexpected
condition of affiuence, to plan for the
future.
His mind was blank as an unwrit
ten page. He had no friends. He had
paid the law its penalty He was
clear Of the world, and its fortune
good or bad, all before him. Which
path, indeed. might he take!
AS he recalled how harshly fate hat
dealt with him, as afar to the east
he caught the g~littering spires Of a bis
busting city, his breath came quicl
and hard. With all he had heard Of

clever criminal ways in his prison cell,
how shrewdly might he use his little
capital in schemes to fleece the UNI
wary, to enrich himself. Then, too,
the pleasures of the great metropolis
dazzled him.
ITO live the life!" he breathed hot
ly- latter those ten years, chained up
like a wild beast!"
Just then an echoing hail attracted
his attention. From the doorway Of
a neat little farmhouse a comedy girl
ish matron vas waving a welcome to
her husband, returning from work in
the fields. The observer noted the
aspect Of comfort and plenty about
the place, the warm genuine love
greeting Of the twain.
His lip ~quivered, a tear fell upon his
outstretched hand. He turned from
the sight.
Love, peace, h~appiness!" he NUT
tered in a broken tone, but not for
me, the branded! the accursed Of hui
manityi"
A bitter scowl wreathed his face and
he walked away from the spot amongst
the deep shade Of the river path. AT
that moment, as he realized that his
hand was against every man and ev-
cry mans hand against him, the
wealth that had come to him was as
worthless dross. There was a strug-
gle between his better nature and the
promptings Of his recent environment,
but the struggle was not decisive.
"Help!"
The word rang out involuntarily
from his lips. Engrossed in thought,
tramping or recklessly in his desper.

He had stumbled on a trailing vine,

down the steep decline and was en-.

KAISER KEPT EYE ON BANKS
Told President of R~eichsbank a Year
Ago to Be Ready for
Trouble.

bank and asked him:
In case a grave international po-
litical event should arise tomorrow
would the German banks be able to
pay their deposits"
The president replied that such an
event would mean bankruptcy. The
kaiser then said:
well, arrange 1t so that If / ask
you the same question soon you will
be able to give me a different answer"
The president of the Imperial bank
has eye since insisted hat the Ger
mar banks keep an active watch on
their liquid assets. At the beginning
Of June he conyoked the representa-
tives Of the great financial establish
ments Of Berlin to remind them OF
this necessity.

The next day Burnham started for q
distant city. He carried with him the
satchel belonging to the man who
had saved his life. A change had
come oyer him. The first strong inn
preston Of his new life was the sight
of the peaceful farm life. 1t fingered
like a picture. The second was graft
tude for the man who had givensup
his life 10 save his own.
His thought ran rapidly. Sud
denly, II rillingly this outcast found
his existence directed into new chan
nels. He had seen that his rescuer
was buried. Then he had opened the
satchel aud inspected its contents.
From that moment Mark Durham be-
came Eli Walters.
For he felt it a sacred trust to take
up the life of his rescuer where the
latter had lain 1t down. In the satchel
he found a little hoard Of about two
hundred dollars. There were also let
tiers and papers. An appeal had
reached Walters from his brothers
widow, whom he had never seen. He
had decided to go to her, relieve her
necessities and devote his years to
care for her and her little family.
Burnham found the Walters family
destitute, indeed. He had assumed
the identity Of a relative they had
never seen and was accepted as the
real Uncle Eli. That hard heart of
his softened like wax as he employed
the 5000 to bring cheer and comfort
where there had been despair and suf-
fering. The widow was sickly and al
most an invalid. There we're five lit
tie children. Within a week the chill
dren were grouping about him as
though he were a real father, and the
widow was filled with gratitude and
hope.
For the first time, one day, Burnham
saw Ida Worth. She had been i'll for
a month and called while he was in
the house. From the first, her earnest,
patient face attracted him. He learned
that she had practically supported the
widow and her family for several
months, but illness had come and she
was now as poor as themselves. She
said the doctor had prescribed a rest,
country air, but that was beyond
her attainment.
I'm going away for a day or two"
Burnham told Mrs. Walters that eve
ming. MY dream-I will make it
true!" he pledged himself f~ervently.
Two weeks later Burnham conveyed
the Walters family and Miss Worth
to their new home, a lovely country
cottage. He had used his own money
to give to the widow a surety Of pro-
vision for the rest of her life,
81 am going away" he said to Ida
a week later.
He noted that she changed color
and her lips fiuttered, and he won
dered why.
Il must tell you what the others
need not know" he continued sadly.
Il am not the uncle of those children"
and he told her all.
Then you are even a nobler man
than I thought" burst forth Ida i'm.
~petuously.
Il am an e~x-convict," and the rest
Of the wretched story came out.

self" breathed Ida. ooh, do not. &C

Her hands had now rested in his
own, He looked into her eyes, fear
somely, and then with a rare thrill
She swayed towards him, and he knew
that his fond dream had come true.

When charIemaane Took q Bath.


Like SO many of the European
warm springs and bathing-places,
Baden-Baden was first appreciated by
the Romans. Emperor Caracalla, in
especial, honored 1t by his patron
age and adorned 1t in various Roman
ways. With the fall Of the empire
and the arrival together of the bar
barians and Christianity, bathing, and,
above all, bathing in warm water, fell
into disuse all over Europe as an en-
feebling and immoral practice. It was
only when Charlemagne, whose name
was one to c~onjure with, dipped his
imperial person in the hot springs Of
Aix-la-C hapelle that bathing, after
seven centuries Of disuse, became
again permissible, II not almost de-
sirale. From that time on, with vary
ing fortunes, aden-Baden was a
health and pleasure resort.-Harrison
