This Is an important question. as
you will appreciate on a moments

his evenings has much 20 do with
his health and his success In life.

women too-spend their evenings In
such fashion as 10 injure their
health and shatter their possibilities

We had Charles f. Hughes in mind.
We thought Of him as governor of New

And then we thought of him as justice
of the supreme court.

doubt given him self control.
But we fell 10 wondering just how he
will take it on July 81, when they step up
and tell him that he has been nominated

THE REAL TRUTH.
~ DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank CraneD

The real truth about man is not
merely the bald facts, but includes all
that is thought said, and felt about him.
Every once in awhile some industrious
oiographer goes through all the data
that have accumulated concerning some
historic figure and, sitting it down. pro-
duces little handful of verified facts,
proudly proclaiming that here is "the
real Washington. the real Carlyle, the
real Napoleon and so on.
We deny his boast A man is as much
entitled TO the rumors he has created as
TO his other achievements. The diifused
light on cloudy day, and even the pale
silver of moonshine, is as really sunlight
as are the direct rays of summer
moon.
A man has right to his penumbra.
An actor has right to the curiosity
he has aroused
A nation has a right to its traditions
as well as to its history.
Brussiloff has a right to the terror of
his name. SO has Jess Willard

a mans success builds platform for him

The Man-Eating Shark,
Terror to Bathers, and Also
"A. Shark, Land Lubber!

Man-eating sharks have killed four
psrsons and injured many in the seaside
East.
This section of the country is engaged
now, principally, in shark hunting, be-
cause human lives are at stake, because
thA popularity Of bathing is threatened
and because the capital invested by re-
soet owners II endangered
Even the matter of hunting down and
killing man-eating sharks has, you will
observe, its practical side.
There are lot of resorts in the sea-
eide East that wouldn't last very long
were It not for the health-giving and in
MIGRATING sport Of bathing and riding
the ocean rollers, and well anybody
down that way knows it, which accounts
Tor the fact that everybody whose
means and livelihood are threatened, is
taking part in the shark hunting
Several Of the monsters have been
conquered and dragged out on the sands
- trophies Of the hunt, and many more
will meet like fate.
II is going to be tough on these
sharks, because all who are engaged in
the hunt have q common purpose.
Could the people always be found in
. common purpose against their enemies,
thicker among them in society than
man-eating sharks are among bathers in
the ocean, a lot of problems which
years have failed to solve would have
been solved long ago.
A common purpose is great thing
This conclusion came to us once with
much force when we saw a team of
great, strong horses making no progress
with its load because one of the horses
had baked, and the other couldn't pull
both the load and its mate.
This is the first time that man-eating
sharks have been known TO come into
the shallow shore waters, and many
theories are advanced to explain their
presence.
Explanation, however, is the easiest
thing in the world.
These sharks are found in shallow
water for the same reason that you are
found at the dinner table
Thsy have come to shore because they
are hungry.
They haven't come to spawn because
they do not spawn in shallow water, or
they would have been found in shallow
water before.
Their food out in the deep has been
supplied from steamers crossing the
ocean. They live on the refuse from
these boats.
The war has cleared the ocean, prac-
ticaIly. Of passenger steamers.
q The sharks have been forced nearer TO
1hoes and they are mighty hungry on
&oosh1ng shore.
