OLD CLOTHES

One of the most practical and and easiest methods of charity is the ju- dicious distribution of old clothes. Re- cognizing the great value of this as- set to the poor, a Bundle day plan has Just been organized in New York city, to collect and distribute sys- ternatfcal1y old and new clothing A great many people everywhere give away old clothes. but not often with judgment.
 In many empIoyments it is neces- sary for a mans success that he be well dressed. It may be illogical, but shabby clothes hurt his busi ness Con- sequeutIy he has half used suits and overcoats for distribution at regular intervals. Being well made they have ! a great deal of Substantial wear AL so his wife feels that her position re- q1aires her to discard her garments before they are worn out
 The amount of clothing thus passed on is 4 ibig total If used kindly and benevodenflys it can keep 3 great many deserving people very co1nf forfaa5le
 Some persons sell it to vendors of castoffs, who make a. thrifty profit The amount that can be realized from second hand dealers is never large.

sFThe cords Of love must be strong as
 Which hold and keep heart.
 Not daisy chains that snap in the
 breeze
 Or break with their weight apart ;
 Because a, man has not yet spoken the words, twill you be my wife 2'' though the eourtship might have ex- tended twice or thrice over the aIlot- ted winter and surnmering'' which is supposed to take to find out the intenE tions of a lover, a girl should not de- spair. He may have the best of req sons for putting off popping the ques- ton. Once the mystical words are spoken, many a man 1magines that he is expected to lead his daneee at once to the altar.
 To be sure, every man has a. secret longing tucked away somewhere in his heart to wed and have a home of his own some day. But he is often the sport of cruel circumstances which he cannot control. A man may be doing an extensive business, but if his ex- penses to maintain it equal what he takes in, the youngest clerk in 1aaS en1- ploy has. with his $15 per week, more to his credit ons Saturday. night than his employer has. With such Uncer- tain prospects a man might be par doned for deferring his proposal, hop ing that times must soon change for him. He may have obligations which lit would tax all Of his resources to meet for some time to come.
 If he has considered the matrimonial situation carefully, he knows that it costs considerable money to marry and keep a. wife as he would like. He realizes, by noting the experiences of his friends, that 1t is all naoonsf1ine about two being able to live at the same price as one. Where is the bride he would ask to share the hall bed- room of the top floor of the boarding house where he stops? Certainly not the f1igh-toned girl was was courting.
 He holds back the aII-important words that seem to rise to his lips with each greeting and every time he bids her good night. Such men mean well enough. They know. what their intentions are. The average girl is not an adept at reading between the lines. She believes in being assured, realiz- ing full well the force of the poets words. The best laid plans of mice and men aft gang ag1ae.
 Therefore, a man in the above situa- ton cannot do better than to have a heart-to-heart talk with a. girl. and her folks as we'll explaining his req sons for not declaring himself At this stage of the game he must either. give the girl reason to hope that his intentions are serious or she would be pretty apt to break off suInmarily. The average girl knows that the spring of love is in youth time If is drags over a, term of years, she is not really as sure of getting him as she was at first. Delays are dangerous
 6.tHe either fears his fate too much, or
 his deserts are small,
 Who fears to put 1t to the tol1ch to
 win or lose it all. z

GENERAL sCoTTs ONE
 ERROR IN JUDGEMENT.

Panglina Hassan had been caught one morning while bathing and was brought into camp to be interrogated by General Wood and General Scott tnow chief of staff of the United States army1. The general sat in a big rocking chair. and in front of him Scott, Hassan, and the inter- prefer squatted together on the grass with the soldiers standing around. The Datto made a good case with words, but Wood judging him by the snaky glean in his eye, advised Scott not to take a chance with him. for Hassan had promised to be good, and asked only that he might be allowed an escort into a neighber1ng jungle where he said his wives and children were hidden.
 Scott sized him up and stood for him against Woods advice With Hassan to guide them he and five or six infantrymen forded a stream to reach the swampy tangle where the Datto's household were supposed to be waiting. As they gained the far bank Hassan let go a shrin bark dropped on his belly, and slid into the thicIet. At the same moment a vo1ley struck the too trustful e.fath-H er'' and his squad of soldiers full in front. A little winded with cross Ing the muddy stream, Scott held both hands about the butt of his re- vo1ver to steady it, and the yolley of sIugs and buckshot struck him fairly in his hands thus clasped When Wood and the relief came run ming up. attracted by the firing, they found Scott sitting in the trail nearly gone from loss of blood His hands were shot all to pieces and hung from their wrists like dishrags.
 Three months later Panglirna Has san was run down in the crater of an extinct volcano at daybreak and Ccott killed him. During those three months Scott kept con stantly in the field on Hassanss trail. He sat on a pony with both hands soldier leading his pony. He made that one error in judgment but he wiped it out, and the Moros never forgot.-George Marvin in the Worlds Work for February

GEORG BRANDEs, FIFE
 GREAT DANE, PREACHER
 OF RADICAL IDEAS.

Georg Brandes, the "Great Dane of hterature. was born in Copenhagen seVenty-three years ago today, Feb. 4, 1842. Although numbered among the foremost of modern litterateurs, the Danish author declared, while touring America last year, that few Engltsh-speaking people read his books, and that his royalties from English transIations amounted to but 9, few pounds and dollars a year
 Since his visit Americans have mani fested greater interest in the au- thor who was so largely responsible e for introducing to the attention of readers of English of the works of Ibsen. Strindberg and Nietzsche AL though born and educated in Den mark, Brandes has lived in France, Italy, Germany, Poland and Russia. He has Hebrew blood in his veins. but like his parents, ha remained a1oof from the synagogue and did not ac- cept the Jewish religion. He is a, rattonaIist and revolutionfst. and an opponent of supernaturalism in gen- eral, and of the Catholic church in particuIar. In his youth, as 1ec- turer at the University of Copenhagen he aroused a storm of opposition that made it necessary for him to leave the country. Nearly half 8 century passed before he won full recogni- ton in his native land, but on his sevent1eth birthday, three years ago, he was the guest of honor at a great celebration in Copenhagen, when the king decorated him with a medal. The Danish critic found many things to praise on his American tour, but the freedom with which divorces are granted in many states most aroused his admiration. ITO me there is no situation in the world more hideous than that created by the compulsory
 living together of two human beings y411 ho kr@ Ea% %r
 gether, and for whom all points of mental or physical contact have ceased to exist he declared, "Indis- soluble marriage is a crime. In America you have approached more nearly to human justice. Mores not less, divorce is what we need. Mar riage was invented as a safeguard against the brutality of men. It is meant as protection for woman and child. If men were not brntes the contract need not exist.' He declar- ed himself In favor Of woInen's suf- frage in all but Catholic countries,
