GHOST OF SkoBELEFF LEADS
RUSSIAN FORCES TO BATTLE

From the London Globe.
some Russian soldiers lave declared
they saw the figure of Skobeleff on his
white horse, leading their forces, as Of
oid, into battle. To those who know the
profound impression that wonderful man
made on the Slavonic mind there is no
lmp~robabllity in such a suggestion. Drawn
so largely from a primitive peasantry, the
vast host marshaled by the czar must
contain multitudes whose childlike mag

which he would so dearly have loved to
play his part.
It was while the Russo-Turkish war of
1871 was aging that, from the midst OF
olhclal Incompetence and corrupt favor

clan to whose wand victory was ever ODE

was the friend and companion of every

He did not know the sensation OF fear,
and faced the utmost dangers with cool
contempt. Yet always he bore a charmed

The heating of the plates for the ~flreless

the food. and this one large fire has an
economic advantage over the number OF

The Breakfast Crouch.
From the indianapolis News

From the indianapolis News.
If a dinner smile is worth a dollar. a
breakfast smile is surely worth two, for
then the need is more than twice as great.
In many homes breakfast is a dlsordered
rout, with time in hot pursuit. 1t is mere
ly an interruption in the flight from bed
room 70 office, school or shop. And where
haste is the rule 1t Is no wonder that
facetious witticisms fly quick and true and
that things are said which cause unpleas-
ant recollections when. an hour later. the
day is in full swing, and the mind has lost
its abnormal sensitiveness. Happily, the
haste that engenders satirical gibes also
serves to mitigate their severity, and by
the time the family is assembled for the
next meal. much that was said In haste
at breakfast is forgotten. But not all OF
1T. A chance remark. uttered without
thought is very likely to open an old
wound and send some member of the
family about his business with a crouch
that win make his day one Of pain to him
and his associates.
1t is this occasional shaft that con-
dennis the whole practice of giving way
to petty a~nnoyances at breakfast time.
One way to avoid it is to get up 10 MIN
utes earlier. This affords time for leisure-
ly dressing and an opportunity to put the
mind in order. Another. and a better
way, Is to rise with q song ON your lips:
Let 1t be a raucous croak, sadly out of
tune, II you can do no better. bat be sure
that it is a merry song. And for the per-
son who has a strong mind and a mod1-
cum of will power there Is the simple plan
of resolving to be pleasant. But what
ever the scheme, its success will bring a
new and fresher outlook to the expert
menter. Nor Will 1t affect him alone. Such
Is the power of p~leasantness that, without
seeming to try, 1T effects a reform among
those upon whom 1t is brought to bear.
Nowhere is the contagious nature of q
smile more clearly revealed than at a
breakfast table beset with g%rouches. 1t
comes like a light into a dark room, and
the person who can withstand 1t three
mornings running must indeed be a lost
misanthrope. He will soon find himself a
hopeless minority, and as the converts
Increase his vanity. however slight, Will
win him over. But the transformation re-
quires patience and a deal of tact-two
qualities that are far too rare.

painstaking physician accordingly
talked privately with $4,000 lunatics,

holding it ever since, that 90 per cent
of them might as well be u of asy-

somebody would only tax suitable

He also noticed that when he left the
asylums and began to converse with
people outside they told him stories
very much akin to those that he had
just heard from the presumed lunatiss.
