America" perhaps the ablest and
most scholarly Catholic journal in
America, has brought down upon its
head the critical wrath of certain
Catholic editors because it has lately
frankly said that the Catholic news
papers of America with a few eXcep-
tions are weak and poorly edited.
The writer of this paper made the
same statement some two years ago
and in some quarters provoked like
hostile criticism.

Evidently it's editor has an idea of

between scholarship and bluff, be-

spreads itself over the page OF the
Catholic journal.

still greater progress in the future.
He referred to the necessity of build
ing educational and charitable insti-
tutions which are indispensable for a
well organized diocese.

Lord Kitchener presents an entirely
different type. lie has the head and
face of a soldier, but the character has
been developed along different lines.
1t is not a typical British head where
as Gen Won Hindenburg is a perfect
type of the Teuton. The typical Brit
ish head is rounder, more of the ia
miliar John Bull form. Lord Kitch-
ener has many Of the characteristics
of the Irishman
In contrast to the modelling of the
German Generals head Lord kitCh-
oner may be said to have a three story
head. Tho forehead is higher, with all
that this indicates. Ills is a more in
tellectual face. While not lacking in
strength 1t has more alertness,
quicker mastery of detail. His genius
is of somewhat diff, rent order. The
power of command, firmness and en-
.rgy are very highly developed and are
marked at 100. 1t is on the whole q
better rounded, more balanced charac-
ter than that of the German General.
Lord Kitchener Is a very unusual
type. Here is a man who probably

ordered advances which would be lr-
resistible.
The salient characteristics of the
face are power and domination. The
so-called lines of command, the deep
wrinkles across the base of the nose,
are especially marked. These lines,
by the way, are usually found in the
faces of all great generals. 1t will be
noticed that they are more pronounced

to dominate men is indicated in the
general modelling of the middle pur-
ton of the face. In this respect he
bears striking resemblance to Prince
bismarck.

contrast to what may be called
three story head with a lofty brow
indicating purely intellectual attain
ments. The Generals forehead and
face are unusually square, forming a
strong base for the brain. 1t is very
remarkable head of its type and sug-
gests in a measure that of Richard
CIuheI.
The head indicates a man who
works to win and sacrifices everything
to accomplish his end There is lit
tie of sentiment or tenderness in his
makeup. The face nevertheless indi-
Gates some artistic taste. His judg-
nicnts are never based on theory. He
is always ,mincntly practical. lie is
governed 10y his knowledge Of facts
and of men. Such a character de-
Ponds very little upon intuition or
upon sentimental considerations.
Had such a man devoted his life to
science he would doubtless have at
tanned great distinction. In his meth
DDS of work and mental reasoning
Gen. Won Hindcnburg is extremely
orderly and systematic. This charac-
teristic is one of the secrets of his sue
cess. II is his ambition to do every
thing in an orderly, systematic way.
and this extends TO every detail of his
work In laying out a campaign he
may be depended upon to perfect every
detail and at all times to have a COM
plete mastery of the situation. He
would be the last man in the world
to depend upon brilliant III timed
daShCs for his victories but rather
would depend upon deliberate well

When he opened the door of Milburn's

full of substantial, prosperous looking

vatives.

antly as one who has done good deed

Sam took a chair and kept his mouth

along and use the methods of a brigand
in Winburg?
The Winburg Street Railway Company
was absolutely alone in the vociferation
of that righteous principle. The ordi-
nary citizens knew just this much: that
the car line was there; that it was great
convenience, and that it had suddenly
stopped. Why didn't it go?
Winburg found the answer to that in
the evening papers The horse car COM
pany owned franchises covering every
street in the city. But Sam Arnold had
bought up the old construction tracks
from the stranger who had bought them
from the city, and of course, he thought
he had right to run cars on them. Sup
pose the stranger had been Sans own
lawyer from the East The purchase was
perfectly legal, WASH I it; and the city had
accepted the cash?
Before the evening papers were on the
street however Sam Arnold, who had
been patiently waiting in the offices of
the Speedway Improvement Company
ever since the serving Of the injunction,
received telephone call

"Yes, and Sans eyes began to snap,
while his red hair seemed to respond to
his grin "Milburn?"
Don't you go near him!" husked old
Tim Cassidy laying a notified fist on
each knee,

Milburn.
"Ifyou want to see me, I'll be here until
O'Clock.
"That's the stuff, Sammy" Old Tim
gave him killing thump on the back.
"Then you'll take the consequences!
and Milburn's voice had queer crack in
it. At least one citizen of Winburg had
been walked up.
There was IA sudden confusion Of lam
guage in the telephone, and then another
familiar voice broke in. This is Frazier,
Sam. You'd better come over.
"Oh!" the grin was now sixty candle
power affair. "Pll be right there!' He
hung up the receiver. SITS Frazier"
"And don't you let him frame you
either" warned the brigand's friend
@,ts bad sign that they're together.
