THE SWORD AND THE PEN
By ], C. Mechanism

Penmanship is a matter of vast inn portance. In history we are told that CharlanaSe undertook fifty-two eX- petitions against twelve different nations Gauls, Saxons, Danes and Sarecens felt the power of his arms. He won renOwn far and wide. After thirty years of bloody war his scep- ter was acknowledged from the chan nel to the lower Danube, and from the German ocean to the Adriatic. All though a master of Latin, reader of Greek, and some oriental language, this great king stumbled on the sim ple art of writing. The hand that could so easily wield the iron lance was conquered by the pen. Did you ever hear how Napoleon lost the bat tie of Waterloo, and how the history of Europe was changed verr largely through a matter of mad penman- ! ship? It does seem that this military genius. a cOnqueroT of empires, the mention of whose name at that time struck terror into the breasts of the | children of Europe, had not mastered ! that little instrument, the pen. If he had heard that the pen was mightier than the sword he perhaps did not believe it. At any rate, how ! ever. his writing was very poor, and l if one was a real good guesser he
 could read it. and even then with
 some difficulty.
 As you remember, the Duke of | Wellington won the battle of Water loss because of the timely arrival of 1 Bluecher with his 30,009 Prussans. But where Grouchy, Napoleon's as
 sistant with SIS 34,000 men? He was making his way toward WaterloOs, comfortably taking his time, for he had received a message from Napol- con annocuning, The battle is on. He read it or fancied it read. The battle is won" and so reached Water too late The history of the world
 was reversed by the careless wriggle of the pen.
 Waterloo was by no means the only
 battle that has been lost by poor Denmanship Who could count the number of positions lost to applicants because their letters were such that any schoolboy should hide with shame.
 On the other hand many a battle of
 life has been won very largely be- | cause of good permanship.
 These days are not days of the
 sword. but of the pen. In olden days
 a mans character was known pretty accurately by his workmanship; now
 it is known by his penmanship. And this is not known by the books or the
 articles he writes but by the virtue
 of dotting his is and crossing his t's.
 These things may seem a as trifles.
 but they may count for gain or loss.
 veal or woe. They have turned the
 tide of battle, crushed dynasties,

'The Lord viii come trottin J"

THE Lord will come trottin'"
Two colored women, inspired by
a voice beyond. stood in the street
praying Wednesday mornin This
was their fervent prayer.
In the way of explanation, it may
be said that they were urgently in
vited to leave town. but that jumps
ahead Of the story.
These two colOred women were
taking subscriptions for an orphan
age in Chicago. They had visited
nearly every part-of the city, Their
one idea was TO get money. In the
majority Of the places their appeals
brought them aid Some it did not.
These latter Informed the Associated
Charities, and Miss Lulu BonDurant,
special investigator, was detailed TO
follow the trail
1t led from Portage av. nearly out
TO the cemetery and back again.
Finally she. caught up with them.
Her idea was TO secure a glimpse of
any credentials, providing they had
them. They had none. They were
impOsters. she camped on their
trail until, tired Of being pursued
they adopted her polite invitation
to visit the mayor.
1t was just at noon. The mayor
was out. In the city hall, one Negress
began her prayer the Lord Will
come trottin'." Just then a police
man arrived.
They were led into Chief Kerr's
office The chief extended a second
polite invitation TO the women, this
time 10 leave town. Miss BOnDurant
said that they changed their prayer
from THE Lord will come trottin'
to we have gone trottin' as they
left the city hall.
