Women and Law.

"In their passionate desire for the
public good" says Margaret Deland,
the novelist, women seem to have
more heart and less head than men.
They seem to be more single minded,
but with all their earnestness there Is
a sentimentality, a lawlessness, an
emotional shallowness, lack of thor
oughness in the way in which they
approach public questions which, quite
apart from the question Of doubling
the irresponsible vote, makes the mat
ter of their exercising the suffrage
alarming.
"And in nothing is their shallow
ness more alarming than in their in
difference to law. The most majestic
thing humanity has evolved is surely
the abstraction called law.
THAT the administration Of law Is
defective is neither here nor there.
OF course it is defective, but the idea
itself. law itself, terrible and glori-
GUS, is the wonder Of time.
THAT we, poor 'agglutinations Of
dust as Stevenson calls US, that we
should have evolved law surely shows
US to be part Of the Eternal Law that
is named God"

There ia probably no more remark

A French Story.

A leading light of the Partisan bar
was deprived of CASTOR, his butler, BY
the mobilization. CASTOR has returned,
decorated with the Legion Of Honor
and exempted from further military
service because of an incapacitatinE
wound that does not, however, inter
fere with the exercise of his calling.
His place has been kept for him, but
his return plunged the barrister into .
perplexing embarrassment.
While CASTOR wears the red ribbon,
there were among the habitual guests
of the house a number Of eminent
members of the bar whose buttonholes
are entitled to nothing but flowers.
The proprieties and all rules of prece-
dence were contrary to the idea of a
Legion of Honor man serving one not
decorated.
The Judge refused to part with his
servant and solved the problem by de-
Gliding that none but Legion Of Honor
men should eat at his table.

MAINE MAN WEARS TIN HAT
Natty Headpece, But Not Likely to

The latest innovation in mems ap-
parel has been sprung by W. H. Whit
ing of Jonesboro, Me. 1t is tin hat,
with band made of copper. He
fashioned the natty headpiece himself.
1t is not only very light in weight. but
he claims that 1t is cheaper than q

Writings tin hat has luster all Its
own, something that takes the shine
off all other hats. 1t is more snowy
than Mambrino's helmet, made famous
by Don Quixote. Writings hat ia
made Of tin, common sheet tin, tho
same kind of tin that baked beans and
sardines and tomatoes are put up in.
1t is built on a 1915 model, and no
fashionable youth Of the town can
put anything over" on him in tho
matter of style. 1t is neat, but not
gaudy, a tin body with copper band.
not quite as brilliant as ribbon with
college colors. but more substantial
and quite as attractive. At least, 1t
attracts plenty of attention when Whit
ing wears 1t on the Standardization
Post. .

The Moral life,

Moral principle is not thinking the
right thing, but doing it. 1t is giving
16 ounces to the pound and SO inches
to the yard. 1t is treating your neigh
Dor kindly. 1t is not worrying others.
There are some people who pride
themselves on holding to high moral
principle, who are an exceeding, great
annoyance to the people they meet. OF
all the unprincipled things In this
world, making people unhappy is the
meanest. Yet there are many people
who are sticklers to moral duty, doing
that very thing every day. He is q
mean thief who will take from another
his peace of mind. One man told US
he didn't sleep a whole night because
Of a needless remark q thoughtless
friend made to him. There are many
people who are such confirmed mate
rialists that they think you can only
do harm to a man by hitting him with
a club or stealing his chickens. They
don't seem to know there is a mental
and spiritual world, where all real
feeling dwells and where the deepest
torture may be infiicted.-Ohio State

Dogs Are Wise.

Darwin P. Kingsley, president of the
New York Life Insurance company
and also of the Safety First Fedora
ton of America, in accepting the presi-
dency of the latter body, said: "The
old way of crossing a street will no
longer do; it is dangerous. A dog no
longer runs against or under an auto
mobile as he did when they first APP
peared. He has changed his whole at.
titude toward street trafic. The aver
age man has not changed. On
the other hand, the trafiic as against
the pedestrian has grown aggressive

Find a Tusk Nine Feet Long.

Doctor Andrews of the British mu-
scum, with a STAFF of assistants, is
busily excavating in the Upnor hills
the most complete set of mammoth re-
mains so far unearthed in England.
The professor has yet to determine
whether the bones belong to the mann
moth or the elephas antiquus. The
teeth alone will furnish the necessary
evidence upon this point, and the por-
ton of earth where the skull lies en-
bedded has not yet been delved in
except so far as to disclose the pres
ence of a rusk measuring some nine
feet In length.

SWISS HOTELS WoNDRoUS
Stand In Solitary Grandeur, But Lack
Nothing That Makes for Comfort
Of Traveller.

You may climb up the heights by
the aid Of railways. funiculars, racks
and-pinions, diligences and sledges,
and when nothing but your own feet
will take you any further you will see
in Switzerland a grand hotel, magic
ally and incredibly raised aloft in the
mountains.
II Is solitary-no town, no houses,
nothing but this hotel hemmed in on
all sides by snowy crags and made
impregnable by precipices and treach-
erous snow and ice.
At the great redrawing of the map
of Europe, when the lesser national
tiles are to disappear, the Switzers
will take armed refuge in their far
thest grand hotels and there defy the
mandates of the concert.
For the hotel, no matter how remote
1t be, lacks nothing that is mentioned
in the dictionary of comfort. Beyond
its walls your life is not worth twelve
hours purchase.
You would not die of hunger, be-
cause you would perish of cold.
At best you might hit on some
peasants cottage in which the stand
ards of existence had not changed for
a century.
But once pass within the portals of
the grand hotel, and you become the
spoiled darling of an intricate organi.
cation that laughs at mountains, ava
lanches and frost.

No single study, in school days, next

ply. That boys and girls who enter
business life should be 80 remiss in
common everyday knowledge is re-
gretable. One who has travelled never
forgets the places he visited, and maps
may be dry things when one does not
travel, but 1t requires little effort to

There Is accommodating evidence that
people read the advertising columns.

an easily recognizable difference be-
tween a car and a COW, 1t is not so
distinguishable by telephone, and the
young man in the office understood
that the customer wanted cow driv-
en- to Los Angeles. It did not occur
to him that there was anything un-
usual in that means of transporting q
COW so long distance across the Cal
Ifornia desert.

Two days later the advertiser tele-
phoned again, this time for emendG-

that since the appearance Of the ad-
tertisement thirty men had called on
him to get the Job Of driving that cow.
Many offered TO back themselves with
testimonials as to their prohciency In

In its history, the old University of
Paris. the Sorbonne, has just con-

sciences upon an Alpine chasseur in
campaign uniform. on crutches and
with one eye only free from head
The soldier candidate was Georges
Habert. scarcely more than a gamin of
Paris. who interrupted his studies to
enlist at the age Of II. With the
Thirteenth battalion OF Alpine chas-
seurs he participated in the assaults
upon Hartmanns Weilerkopf and
helped carry the German trenches at
n point Of the bayonet. Grievously
wounded in the head, he fell into a Ger
man trench and was a captive for q
quarter of an hour; his comrades, de-
termined not to leave him in the en-
emy's hands, won the trench by a SUI
preme effort.
Trepanning saved Habert. who went
back to his books during his GONZALES

brilliantly.

in the French infantry at II years Of
age. Wounded at the Eparges, he nae
rejoined his regiment and fought until
two days before the examinations. He
returned to the front after graduating,
two days before his leave expired and
was killed while leading a charge the

curious way of showing his knowledge
of living things. The student dressed
up as a terrible animal and crept into
the professors bedroom one night.
"Cuvier," he cried, in a hollow voice.
"Cuvier, I've come to eat you!"

He saw that the supposed monster
