THE CORNERS OF OUR MEMORY.

The corners OF our Mem'ry
That We all turn every day;
How we come upon them sudden
Leading down a pleasant way,
Where We see familiar faces
And the folks we used TO know
Round the corners Of our Mem'ry
Is the Long Time Ago.
IT'S pleasure next 10 Heaven
Just to leave the path OF strife
Just to tread the primrose pathway
Leading TO the olden life.
And TO meet the oldtime neighbors,
And perhaps again 10 see
A happy barefoot youngster
Like the boy we used to be.
o, IT'S joy TO last lifetime
when, in fancy. we may roam
And we turn a sudden corner
In our Mem'ry, leading home!
Leading onward through the Meadows,
With the friendly stars above.
To the old familiar friendships
And the places that we love.
o we're thankful for the pathways
That lead on to rest and peace.
Through the toll and stress OF living.
To the goal where strife shall cease;
But we're thankful-O. so thankful
For the corners that we know
In our Memory. that lead US
To the Long Time ago.

ARM BANDS FOR COUGH.

Yellow arm bands for Newark children who
have the whooping cough apparently have not
proved a success In checking the spread OF the
disease. In report, Acting Health Officer
Craster said something must be done TO check
the spread OF the disease. The number Of canes
had almost doubled ip the last week. Newark
ers who opposed the Nwhoopng cough bands"
now say they believe the measure which caused
so much commotion when n adopted will
soon be cast aside by the board of health.

THE POSITIVES
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

One reason why Billy Sunday can sue
ceed in revival is that he is positive.
DR.. Eliot, Of Harvard. could not get Sun
days enormous crowds to come to listen
to him talk on religion, because he is not
positive.
The multitude wants to hear the evan
gslist who damns 'em right and left, who
is cocksure as to precisely what the
Deity will do.
No scientist, nor scientific manner,
hestitating. questioning. challenging its
way toward the truth, was ever popular.
In all our affairs We are conscious Of
our ignorance, we know mighty little Of
what's going on in the star spaces above
US; We can only guess at the meaning
of world movements around US; we don't
understand even the depths of our own
hearts; hence we grasp at any positive
assertions that may be shouted at us as
bewldered mariners heed any signals in
a fog.
Sometimes, however, the positive fell
lows get on our nerves. Travelling
around the earth you will find yourself
consigned to hell by hundred different
creeds; Turk, Buddhist. Brahman, Cath
olic, Evangelical, and Mormon will spew
you out
No movement that draws the masses
hesitates. They all assert. They know.
They are sure as granite. The Saliva
tion Army, Christian Science, Roman
Catholism, the Methodist revivalist. the
political party, the thing that strikes
you in all of them is their unrutfled GER
tainty. They don't guess. think, sur
mise, or suspect; they know.
There is the same condition of things
in business. Not only the woman who
hesitates is lost but the man who hesi-
tates is failure. In practical affairs
one round affirmative smashes through
whole army of questionings.
President Harrison once asked an Off
cial in the law department to prepare
statement setting forth the grounds
upon which he could legally carry out
certain law congress had just passed.
The official gave 40 reasons why it could
not be done. The president sent word to
him: 81 don't want any reasons for not
doing this. ! want one good reason for
doing it, Give me this or resign The
reason was forthcoming and the thing
was done with general approval.
Nature has her positives. She deals
in facts. laws, and substances. She does
not experiment or fudge. Things are
as they are. There's no use asking
why is fish," or why is a birdf"
They just are.
What may be the causes back OF the
laws that govern electricity or heat or
chemical affinity We may only surmise,
but the laws themselves are as certain
and indubtable as stone.
There is a pleasure in thinking; ques-
tioning and doubt have their rewards IN
the mind. but the thing We call efficiency
is reserved for the man that can bunch
his total energy into clear beilef ana
hurl himself soidly at hesitatlng world.

Illness Tears Him from Happy
LudloW-NOW in Bellevue.

Sending a man from the quiet, or
derby Ludlow Street jail to the prison
ward of Bellevue Hospital is like in
dieting a man for one offence and try
ing him for another, says Otto A.
Glassberg, counsel for John Wacker,
who has been thus transferred.
Wacker was committed to Ludlow
Street Jail because he owed Mrs.
Wacker 81 900 alimony. He must serve
six months unless he pays up, as the
wife says ne can AFFORD 10 do. Wacker
is a manufacturer OF jewelers. tools.
Wacker became i'll in jail, and was
sent TO Bellevue Hospital prison ward,
where, according to his lawyer, his
condition is made even worse by the
delirums of drug tends and drink
victims. Gassbere asked Justice Dom

that Wacker might be taken to st.

Godowsky, Honored by Austria,
Twice a Citizen of u. s.

Leopold Godowsky was born at
Wilma, Russian Poland, February Is,
1870. At the age Of nine he made his
debut as a pianist in his native city,
then toured Poland and Russia, being
hailed as an infant marvel. He made
his first appearance in the United
States in 1884, and was Immediately
recognized as brilliant pianist. In
1856 he went TO Paris and studied
three years with Saint-Saans.
In recognition of his art Godowsky
was appointed by the Emperor of Aus
tria head of the Master School for
Piano at the Vienna Conservatory. As
an imperial and royal professor he had
rank in the Austrian civil service equal
TO that of a colonel in the army Al
though he had become a naturalized
citizen of the United States during one
of his extended visits to this country,
he automatically became an Austrian
subject when he received his royal ap-
pointment.
Three years ago Godowsky returned
TO this country, after an absence Of
twelve years. His first recital, in Car
negie Hall, was a display of great
technical brilliancy and caused wide
comment.
1t was during a five years residence
in Chicago, where he was director of
the pianoforte department of the Chi
cago Conservatory of Music, that Go
dowsky took the oath Of allegiance to
the United States. When the war
broke out, last summer, he was in Ber-
lin, and because of his Russian birth,
despite his American naturalization
and his connections with the Austrian
government, he experienced difficulty in
getting to England In London Ambas-
sador Page was instrumental in having
his American citizenship restored.
