The Bronze and the
Human Heart
By ALAN HlNsDALE

The town Of Holiingsworth has bssQ
named tor the man who did more
Tor It than any other persou. While
joel Hollingsworth did much for The
town, he did not do anything for
any one In II excepting himself. he
founded the Hollingsworth institu-
tion and endowed Il for the work Of
scientific research. Its ber edits to
mankind were intended to be general
not particular. and the real design wass
to perpetuate the name OF Joel Hol-
lngsworth. On Q circular plot OF
ground Just within its gates stood
bronze statue Of its founder OH lofty
pedestal.
II represented Z man who looked AZ.
gresstve, by NO means modest or retir-
ing-one who would not hide bis light
under q bushel.
One day Edgar Walker. . young TEL
low seventeen years Of age. was pass
ing through the town Of Hollings-
worth. his worldly effects tied up In .
bandanna handkerchief. on his way to
city near by, where be hoped to make
his fortune. His way led him by the
Hollingswcrth institution. and, paus-
ing, he looked through the gilded bars
Of the gates at the noble pile within.
his eyes finally resting on the statue
of its founder.
Hearing q moan behind him. be turn
ed and saw q girl about eight years
old crying. Turning. he asked her what
troubled her. She told him that her
mother had sent her to the store with
q silver dollar to make some purchases
and she had lost 1t.
Now. Edgar Walkers capital on
which he proposed to found bis for
tune was exactly 81. Taking 1t from
his pocket. he offered 1t to the girl
She drew back. stopped crying and
with q changed expression said:
1T would be mean for me to take
money from a boy with holes In his
shoes, even ~ q gift Ny father says
that the man who built all these build
ings used to take money from anybody
he could get 1t out OF. won't do that

gar passed on through the town dream
ing OF the fortune he would make. how
be would make it and what he would
do with 1t after 1t was made.
The years went by. The noble pile
called the Hollingsworth institution
still rose high over the town that mes
tied about 1t. Joel Hollingsworth In
bronze still stood with folded arms
within the gate, conscious Of his no
bility OF soul An occasional passer
still stopped to peer between the bars
The particular passer who gazed one
summer afternoon Just before sunset
was a prosperous looking gentleman
a few years short Of forty.
Hearing a musical laugh behind him.
he turned and saw a woman between
TWENTY-FIVE and thirty with girl some
twenty years her junior whose resem-
blance to her indicated that the child
was her daughter.
Come, mamma said the girl, tug
ging at her mother; 'let's look In at
the green grass and the flowers and the
trees and the pretty walks"

he wouldn't tell. and since he had
Gone nothing dishonest they couldn't

Very soon letters began to pour In

Johns secret was bought. and be was
engaged. But he exacted a written
contract drawn by q lawyer. Then ne
opened the safe before the presidents

He had pared the nall of his index
finger on the right hand until the blood
vessels were exposed. Then by placing
the sensitive wound on the combina-
tion lock he could distinguish the
movements OF the tumblers as they
fell For more than an hour he work

John Riggs worked for yean In

workman. but that was Q time when
prices OF skilled labor were not rsgu-
lated, a. they are now, BY meana Of
coalition. and the arm that John work
ed for was not 0vefgenerous. Tear
after rear passed and children were
rattling their knives and forks at
Johns table. but his wages were Just
the same - when he had no children
at all. John often applied to Mr.. Scalp.

company. for II raise IL salary, and Mr.

John didn't see ahead so far a. the
age that was coming. when Mr.. Scalp
toms business would either be merged
with that OF other safe builders to
make prices what be wanted them or
when his laborers would band together
to make him nay them such wages a.
they might demand. He didn't like the
situation. but he couldn't help 1t, %
he worked on and fed and clothed his
children as best he could.
But one day John fell Ill and remain.

stopped. be had no money to pay q

period for him. hut he got well In time
and. going to Mr.. Scalpton, asked to
be permitted to go to work.
I'm sorry. John" said the gentle
man, but We were obliged to I'LL your
place. and now that 1t is filed It would
be an injustice to turn out the man
who oils it. Don't you think 30 your

Maybe" John replied. "but It's

got sick my business and my income

That's the difference between an
ability to think and manual labor re-
piled the safe maker. I'm busy now
and must ask you to excuse me-
The gentleman had put a Hea in
Johns ear. He concluded to do a lit
tie thinking. He knew more about
safes and locks than Mr.. Scalpton, and
before he had done thinking he had
thought out a plan to compel that very
just man to listen to him.
A few days later John called on q
hrm that owned q Scalpton safe and
told them that he would prove to them
for consideration that their safe was
worthless. He would open 1t without
even any tools. They engaged to nay
his price provided he succeeded. He
stipulated that be was to work alone
and without any watchers. They
agreed to this. locking him in a room

The Odds Against Germany.

Considering wealth, population
and territory, more than 80 pei
cent of the world is at war.
Roughly speaking, 80 per cent
represents the allies and 10 pei
cent the central powers.
The remaining 10 per cent rep
resents the neutrals. nj
The total wealth Of the world is
estimated at $700;O00,e0O,0 900.
Quite a snug sum. oC anf 1s}
About $3.50, 600, 600, 900 e belong
to the allies, $110, 600 600 900 to
the central powers, $40, 00O, 0OO,-
900 to the neutrals. ~ 0aao
The wealth of the United States
is about $250,OOO,0 900 900 nearly
one-half of the total wealth of the
whole world.
The total population of the world
in round numbers is 1,750,OOO, 900.
The allied nations have about
1,410, 000,0 900 people, the central
powers 164, ZOO 900, the neutral
176, 00O, 900.
The allies control upwards of
40, 10000 square miles Of territory,
the central powers a little less than
5000 600 square miles, the neutrals
a little less than 100000 square
miles.
An eastern financial publication
suggests that allied airplanes drop
pamphlets containing these figures
among the German soldiers and the
German peoples as one very effective
way of Fastening the end Of the war.
Certainly unless the Germans
have, entirely lost. the power to
think for themselves, a little study
of. these figures ought. to Impress
them with the h~opelessness Of their
situation.
And it ought to impressss. them
with the criminal stupidity Of their
rulers, whose policies have forced
the greater part of the civilized
world to make war against tfe11.
In the whole history of the world
there has been no tragedy more
terrible than the betrayal of the
German people by the rulers to
whom they have given their blind
devotion.

L.HE Z2. ~ .rsENfEHI ~
Jackson, June 10, 1917.
To the Sheriffs, Chiefs of Police,
Police, Justices of the Peace, Con-
stables and all Law Officers of the
State of Mississippi:
Gentlemen:-I wish to call your
attention to the telegram copied be-
low from the War Department and
to urge that you do your duty in
the premises without fear or favor.

To the Governor Of Mississippi, Jack
son, Miss.
Quotas r to be assigned to the
several states in proportion to their
population as determined by the Bu-
reau of Census and not in proportion
to the registration. The result is
that every person who has failed to
register is seriously increasing the
burden of those who have register
ed. Ample notice and every oppor-
tunity has now been given and there
is no longer any argument upon
which the conduct of non-reistrants
can be condoned. The period of
l~eniency referred to lin a former
t%elegram) has nov passed. Atten-
ton is invited to paragraph sixteen
of the regulations. 1t is requested
that every effort be now made to de-
tect and arrest persons subject to
registration who have not register
ed and to bring each case promptly
to the attention of the nearest rep
resentative of the Department of
Justice. Wide publicity should be
given to the effect of n~on-registra-
ton in increasing the burden of
those who have registered. = y = = =
The purpose of this telegram is to
inaugurate from tomorrow a vigor-
Gus aggressive and effective enforce
ment of the penal clauses of the Sc
lective Service Law against all who
have by their failure or refusal to
register brought themselves under
those provisions. The Department of
Justice is sending today similar ad-
vices to the U. S. Attorneys and
Marshals with instructions to release
on their WI recognizances all per-
sons arrested by marshal or deputy
marshals or by the state, county and
municipal police officers and turned
over to them who promptly regis
tered under the terms of paragraph
forty registration regulations. The
The Secretary of War CONSTITUTES Sec
ton five of the Selective Service Law
requiring compulsory registration by
the officer making the arrest of each
arrested person Immediately upon
his conviction. Please give notice
to all who have any duty enjoined
up on them in connection with the
enforcement of the penal clauses of
the law and particularly to state,
county and municipal police named
in paragraph sixteen of the regula,
