The business of life is a great
thing. The business of life is making
character. People may acquire great
wealth, but if in the process their
moral nature has gotten out of keller,
they have failed. They may gain a
reputation for some great achieve
ment, but if they have not at the same
time achieved a higher manhood for
themselves, they are to be pitied
rather than congratulated. They
may enjoy existence to the utmost,
drinking their fill of pleasure, but if
their sympathies are gradually afro
plying, if they are increasingly indif-
ferent to the obligations of helpful
ness, they are preparing for the SUI
preme failure.
Make no mistake about it; the oc.
cupation by which you carr your liv-
ing, is merely incidental. Your bust
ness in the world is Understanding.
Because you carry your dinner in
a paper or a tin box, do not feel that
you are not as good as the man who
dimes at the expensive restaurant.
Because you buy your clothes ready
made, do not allow yourself to feel
inferior to your friend who patronizes
the best tailor in the city. Rate your
own manhood too high to think that
your standing can be determined by
these exterior things.

A straight line is the shortest dis

sertion. In life, a great many people
seem to have the idea that they can
reach their goal more quickly by go
ing out of their way for every OBJ.
stacle. Those who encounter some
thing hard and distasteful in the occu-
patton they have chosen, sometimes
jump to the conclusion that they have
made a mistake In their choice, and
begin to look for work that will lack
difficulties.
The person who follows such a
winding road to success, is pretty sure
to die before they reach their goal.
A straight line is the shortest dis
lance between two points. Fix your
eye on the goal you want to reach, and
make for it. Hew your way through
the obstacles that present themselves,
but do not turn out for them.
The shortest distance to success is
the most direct route.

Girl SINGER TRIES
TO DIE BY POISON
Edna Walther Refuses to
Explain Why She At
tempted Suicide.

Edna Walther. child singer, took two
ounces Of iodine yesterday at the Hotel
Normandie. She is sixteen years old.
In the prison ward OF Bellevue. where
she is charged with attempted suicide,
il was said that she would probably
recover.
-Four years ago, when she appeared in
"Koenigskinder," she was the youngest
singer that had ever been heard in the
Metropolitan Opera House. She re-
fused to tell the reason for her act. An
employe Of the hotel found her lying
unconscious on the floor Of the bath
room adjoining her room. Her aunt
was summoned and could give no
cause for Edna's act.
Only once did the girl open her lips
in the hospital. Her nurse caught
faint whisper, in which was the word
quarrel" At the hotel it was said
that the Young singer was most am
bitioue and had had no engagements
this winter.
Mrs. Laura Walther. her aunt, was
formerly a singer and actress Sne
became teacher of music and elocu-
,ion in Buffalo, and Edna was her star
pupil The girl always called neI
mother" It was through her aunt
that the girl secured the role OF the
Blue Child in "The Blue Bird.
She was selected by Humperdinck 70
oIsv one of the children's parts IN

FRENCH HELD SURE
TO CONDEMN DACIA
British Escape Embarrass-
ment by AlIy's Seizure
Of American Ship.
fFrom TIE Tribune Bureau. !

Washington. Feb. 2S--Thc receipt in
Washington Of the news that the
American steamer Dacia, that formerly
belonged to the Hamburg American
Line, had been seized by a French
cruiser and conveyed to a French port,
started at once the suggestion that the
capture by a French war vessel instead
Of British one was the result of a
concordance of action on the part Of
the two Allies.
1t was pointed out that the capture
by the French disposes at once of the
embarras ssment which Great Britain
would have suffered of having eX-
pressed in 700 liberal terms her views
on the rights Of a ship immured in
neutral waters after the declaration Of
hostiitIes to be sold and transferred
TO neutral register. The French Gus
tom and precedents or this point all
bear in one direction.
1t has been the position Of France.

into being as a code Of international
ethics, that transfers Of registry after
the declaration Of hostilities arc in

pected 10 decree tnat the Dacia was
transferred TO American registry 70
escape the consequences Of war. II Is
believed that the court will decree her
a subject for condemnation and sale as
prize of war Her cargo, it is ex-
pected, will be held for the disposi-
tion of the owners. but only to be sold
and delivered by them 10 neut~als or
TO purchasers in the nations at war
with Germany. Steps are expected 70
be taken 20 prevent il ever from fall
ing into the possession of the original
German consignees.
+. y. Breitung. owner Of the Dacia,
made this statement at the st. Regis
last night:
81 have not been officially notified Of
the detention Of the steamship Dacia
Other American vessels have been do
tanned. and | believe any belhgerent

ornment viii protect its country's laws
and, if necessary, ask COR reparation
due to every American who is within
his rights

Of international law that could act
against the steamship Dacia, and
shall demand my rights at the proper
time. The American government would
not have granted this vessel the Stars

American vessel as our law can make

she did going to Europe.

The Daily Chronicle says in this
connection:
at is interesting that the Dacla

sh, for by practice which dates back
TO the year 1894 il refuses 10 recognize
any sale Of a ship by enemies unless it
has been made by authentic acts pre-
vious TO the declaration Of war or the
commencement of hostlitcs. Conse-
quently the Dacia's condemnation
seems a foregoue conclusion
British prize law would probably
have reached the same result, but by
different reasoning. II has not been

REASON AND CAPRICE.

Edmund Burke says: ''Taking the whole
view of life, it is more safe to live under the
jurisdiction of severe but steady reason
than under the empire of indulgent but ca
PRECIOUS passion" Such wisdom should be
proclaimed these days for the practice is
decidedly against it. Men are not inclined
to conduct their lives in accordance with
severe but steady reason" but under the
influence Of the very opposite passion. And
the times and customs seem to prepare men
for ''indulgent but capricious lives" In
fact, inventive genius is largely employed
in preparing motives and attractions toward
these capricious lives If there is a lecture
or a prayer meeting appointed for certain
night and a banquet or dance for the same
time, the stream of attendance is toward the
latter. Between the church service and the
automobile ride the latter is chosen too often
among people Of religious tendencies. 1t
is the rule of this choice that makes neces
sary so many social reforms. 1t is the diff
ference between the steady reason and the
capricious passion, as Burke points out
