the BEST NAN.

A young man just about to
start out in life went to an old
man and asked his advice. "What
profession or business would you
advise me to adopt?" be asked.
"It doesn't matter very much
what you do," was the old mans
reply, 'just so you do it we'll. II
you will do your work, whatever
it is, better than anybody else
around you is doing it, you will
get to the top Of the ladder"
And the old man was right. He
had learned the truth by long
living and observation and ex-
perience.

The Danger Of ssseh.
News aud Observer.

N< "o ouu OOsCINCIs
A correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger thinks
that a man would be better off
m.the long run if, occasionally,
he should lose the power OF
speech. On this he says:
81 sometimes think it would be
a good thing for human progress
il for a time people would lose
the power OF speech, and have to
do their part in life without talk
ing or writing. So much irrita-
tion is caused by carping criti-
cism; and here | think the press
comes in for it's responsibilities
in stimulating evil feelings and
leading in retaliative action. The
Trappist monks are said to have
produced the rarest and richest
Of wines in their enforced solitude
and silence. May it not be posi-.
bic that humanity needs tn e
same conditions to produce its
best and highest achievements"
We believe that a man named
Solo mon discovered quite some
years ago that the tongue will
bear watching and warned h i S
friends accordingly. But neither
in Solomon's'time nor in this has
the man been found who could
control his tongue. If the average
man is honest with himself, he
will at times get actually heart
sick at the miserable effort which
he makes at holding his tongue.
Seeing himself in retrospect, al
ways granting that he knows
how to examine himself impair
TALLY, he must feel impartially,
he must feel alternately like lau-
Ching at or kicking himself. For
a just and candid examination
will show yielding to impulse that
it had been mentally pledged,
was not to happen again, and
damage done to avoid which
careful plans had been laid.
If a man lived six hundred
years instead of seventy or eigh-
ty he probably never would be-
come complete master of h s
tongue. There is comfort in the
thought, however, that every
time one refrains from saying
a foolish or cruel thing there is
so much progress made, an d
there is q corresponding improve
lnent in the character that il be.
ing moulded day by day.
1t is a hackneyed theme-that
of the good that comes from a
carefully guarded tongue, but
the conmonest things OF life are
the most important.

no opportunity to read it. The
chance are that the man who sees

it all. Certainly the Republican

Tho Shooting Il I woman.
Asheville Citizen.

Asheville Citizen.
As though she had notdone en-
ough to forfeit the sympathies
and friendship OF the n eu trail
world, Germany has astonnded
humanity by putting to death an
English nurse, Miss Edith Cavell,
who was charged with :and ad-
mitted having aided British, Bel,
gian and French soldiers escaping
across the frontier. In the trial
court Miss Cavell made no at
tempt to shield herself; she sta
ted that she thoughtshe was do
ing her duty to her country in
saving the lives of the refugees.
The American minister to Belgi-
un, Brand Whitlock, and t h e.
Spanish minister made every ef-
fort to save the life OF the young
English-woman, but to no avail.
The blood lust OF the German
military machine had to be satis-
fled and the fact of the victims
sex counted for nothing. As the
rising sun heralded a new day
Miss Cavel stood bravely before
her executioners and died, as she
expressed it, "for her country"
I have seen death Sb often, she
said, chat it is not strange or
fearful to me. Standing as l do
in view OF God and eternity, Ire
alize that patriotism is not en-.
ough. l must have no hatred or
bitterness toward any one"
Thus she died, notas a martyr,
though some will call her such,
but a christian OF heroic proper
tions. She who had 80 often saw
ed others, who had alleviated the
pain and sufferings OF the unfor-
tunate OF all nations, including
those of Germany, was powerless
to save herself when her inhuman
executioners had pronounced her
fate. They wanted a "terrorizing
example," as the London news
papers put it; and Miss Cavell
furnished the means to the end.
According to the strict letter Of
military law the English nurse
was guilty and may have deser-
we'd death, and the case Of a man
so accused there would have been
little comment on the case one
way or the other. But here was
a young woman whose sex should
have pleaded in her behalf. The
British home secretary, Sir John
Simon, in a statement sent out
from London last Saturday night
delared that the shooting Of Miss
Cavell had no parallel in the rec
ord OF Great Britain's treatment
of persons accused of military Of
!, lenses. No woman has ever SUI
fered the death penalty" he said
cor has ever been sentenced tC
death. In England a woman
whatever nationality, is always
tried by civil court" He then ci
ted the case OF a German woman
! who was found guilty of espion
: age in associating with a m a IL
: spy. The man was put to death
o but the woman was sentenced tt
e ten years Imprisonment. Mis-
Y Caveel's case was not nearly 81
y serious as the case mentioned
s she had assisted refugees acros

o es were lodged against her.

1 Sorry Custom DerSMsd From Forsigl
Countries.

Richmond Journal.
1t is a shame and q pity t h a t
SO much good white paper is soil
ed by the drivel that isprinted
and put before the public. Some
body has taken the trouble to
telegraph from Washington to
several newspapers that the ap-
pearance OF the present Mrs. Gait
as mistress OF the White House
will upset zone OF Wasilington's
dearest priced precedents." This
precedent, the gapingpopulace is
informed, is the persons in trade
are barred from the ultra smart
set;;' that Mrs. Gait, as the Wild
ow of the proprietor of a jewelry
store, has been denied part in the
exclusive clubs and levees which
are frequented by the army and
navy-diplomatic sens.'
The absurdity OF this is appa-
rent when we recollect that nine
tenths OF the fortunes on which
claims to 'exclusiveness' are bas.
ed, were mad in trade Mrs. Calf
is we'll born and we'll bred. The
idea that she has been counted
unfit to associate with the smart
set will cause much amusement
in Virginia, where people happen
to know something OF the intense
ly common, coarse and 10 u d
people who compose a large part
OF the set in Washington and
elsewhere. Mrs. Gait, accordingto
those who know the facts OF her
life, has had no social ambitions
and no need for them. She has
busted herself with practical and
useful things. We Judge if there
has been any exclusion it has
been the smart set excluded
from companionship with that
lady, whose taste did not run to
self advertisement, constant ap-
pearance in the newspapers and
vulgar Haunting OF wealth.
The IDEA of drawing sociallines
against persons lin trade has
been borrowed from England by
Americans, who, having no es-
tablished status or principle OF
their own, have aped eagerly for
eign customs and manners. 1t is
the most intense snobbery. Prac-
tically everybody in this country
who has anything or amounts to
anything is lin trade in one way
or another, has been it or is de-
pendent on it. An attempt to de-
fine what avocations and profes.
sions may be consistent with
membership in the smart set
and which means exclusion from
that circle would be interesting
and perplexing.
Among other questions that
would come up would be how
many generations would be ne
cessary to remove the taint o.
"trade," whether there is any
difference between wholesale an(
retail "trade" as q stigma; wheth
er the family that has won for

mines by the car load may b.
