SOME NOTABLE ARCHERY

In the days when the buffalo was found in

Indians who, while riding at a gallop, could
send arrow through a buffalo's body. Re-

It is OF record that the MacRaes, OF Garlock
Scotland, were such skilled archers that they
could hit man at the distance OF 500 yards

Ambassador, on hearing the expressions Of sur.

greatest performance of modern days, but

when the Sultan shot arrow 972 yards.

Here he spends many hours of his time for
getting his patients, and manufacturing
steamboats, feet long-both hull and engine
furniture, rifle sights and hundred other
things. If he wasn't doctor he would be
machinist. If he weren't a machinist, he
would be a carpenter. If he weren't a car
penter, he would be something else, from a
stonemason to a big game guide. The rea-
son he is such a good doctor is because he
has the capacity to be something else, be-
cause his command over his environment in
other lines gives him increased command
over his speciality.

Mr.. Taft Is on the Right Track


| MIR TAFT is right when he says that the
| lkl present is not an lnopportune time for
considering the prevention. Of wars When
peace comes the world will be ready to adopt
some plan for settling international disputes
more reasonable than by the use of all the
engines Of destruction which the wit Of man
can devise
The rule Of peace must come through the
rule Of righteousness and Justice. 1t has
come in the American federation OF states
through the agreement Of the States to settle
their differences through judicial channels.
The United States Supreme Court which Is
the final arblter In all great disagreements
here, has been the wonder of the world.
Students of government have expressed their
admiration for It ever since II vlndicated It's
creation more than century ago. 1t Is the
triumph Of the Constitution. Mr.. Taft thinks
that international Supreme Court, on
which shall sit representatives of n group Of
the great Powers, can do for international
good will and for international law what the
American court has done for order and JUS
tlce in a single nation He may be unduly
optimistic; but he ia on the right track.
Every student of the question is we'll
aware that the authority of national courts
rests really upon force Of arms. There is
power somewhere to enforce their decrees.
1t is evident that the decrees Of an interna-
tional court must also get their authority
from the international force behind them.
international peace will be mcasurably near
when international army and navy Is
called out to enforce the decree Of an inter-
national Supreme Court against the losing
litigant in that tribunal

SAN MARINO. Thursday the smallest re-

cation, Joined in the international outdoor
sport Of casting the die for war
Some people may think the matter of small
import; but historians will set immense store
by the act because it is technically impos-
sible. San Marino has never been at peace
with Austria; how can it now declare war?
In 1870, when the dual war of Italy and San
Marino against Austria was patched up. the
violent little republic absolutely refused to
sign the treaty of peace. It showed its mar
tial temper clearly enough on January
when II refused to receive the commissioners
that Germany proposed sending to inspect
its wireless stations and see why they were
not strictly neutral,
The material effect of San Marino's en-
trance into the war on the side of the Allies
must Of course, be discounted, however the
morale of the late occupants of Przemysl
may be bolstered up by the news. For, in
spite OF conscription from the ages OF 16 10
TO- the army Of San Marino numbers only
sou men and SS officers. According to some
authorities this means one officer to every
square mile OF territory. Others however
put down 80 square miles as the area. In

What Draws lis Back Home2

| A BALTIMORE boy who ran away to
! I1work on a Montana ranch got as far as
! Chicago when he saw n strawberry short
cake in tho window of a restaurant. 1t re-
minded him of home. He spent his last dime
! for a piece of what he thought was the
delectable confection such as his mother used
to make Instead it was the sham short
cake of commerce, and his disappointment
was great that he went to the police and
asked TO be sent back to Baltimore where
there was real shortcake and real home for
| a wandering boy,
He was no different from the rest Of u.s.
The real home means comfort and satlsfac-
tion. Sometimes the satisfaction appears in
the form of juicy beefsteal, brown and
crisp on the outside and pink on the inside
served hot from the broiler. Sometimes the
comfort consists in a kind word spoken at
the end of a hard day, and a smooth and
soft hand resting on the shoulder or the
brow. with a frendlness that there Is no
MISLEADING,
The home Is the product OF the woman in
It. No landscape or portrait produced by
smearing colors on piece of canvas; no
rangement of words in that peculiar and
fascinating mosaic which we call literature;
no production of mouulated and harmonious
sounds known as music. can compare with
the creation of a real home. The task is
worthy the best endeavors of every woman
to whom the opportunity offers Itself.
The Baltimore boys shortcake was but a
type and symbol of what home meant to
him. 1t was not merely combination of
flour and shortening, cream and berries 1t
was the spirit that had combined them for
his delight, had placed them before him on
the table and watched him with pleasure as
k,g. a.
please him. II drew the boy back again.
The same minsterlng of comfort will hold
the husband and keep him from wandering
and make home to him the divinest place on
EARTH combining as a famous scotchman re-
marked, the pathos and sublime OF life"

After the Cyclone

1T is not something different from the
surgery Of today generally that is being ac-
complshed at St. Mary's Hospital" says a
man eminent in the medical profession. 1T
is only our present-day surgery done with
such care and attention to detail with such
nicely of precision as regards the observance
OF aseptic precautions, and such skilful tech
nique that the best possible results are being
obtained, II is not what Is being done that
is different, but 1t is the method of the doing
that has been refined to the last degree"
They are young men yet. DR.. William Is
Sd; DR.. Charles, 80. Their father, w. w
Mayo, who died not long ago after passing
his four score years and ten, was a country
doctor in Rochester when In 1891 a cyclone
struck the village. Two score people were
killed and many were injured In caring for
the injured Doctor Mayo and a number OF
Franciscan Sisters co-operated. The next
year the Sisterhood founded a hospital IN
Rochester. and Doctor Mayo was asked to
take charge OF 1t. He accepted. The two
Mayo boys came back, william on gradua-
tion from the medical department of the Uni
versity Of Michigan, and Charles with de-
gree from the Chicago Medical College (now
part OF Northwestern University. TO take up
the life OF country doctors and assist their
father at the hospital.
The three had no thought OF making ST.
Mary's famous, but only OF doing their work
in the very best way possible. The boys"
took turns visiting clinics In the country

methods Now they keep up with the times
by sending members OF their stan on similar
errands, and sometimes going themselves. OF
course. they have made discoveries, they
have improved on methods. And perhaps It
is incorrect 10 say that principles are not to
be learned at Rochester. For at least one
great principle is there exemplihed-the prln-
ciple Of thoroughness. 1t is displayed In the
acquisition, the organization and the appli-
cation Of modern knowledge In medicine ana
surgery. It reveals itself IN superlative EN-
cheney.
