Oh, tact! What crimes are COM
mitted in thy name!
AS a matter of fact, all this travel

striving to moderate the shock, is
III most cases worse than useless. 1t
is a popularity of human nature that
We always expect the worst All we
need is but hint of evil tidings, and
our imaginations will do the. rest.
The mother instantly thinks of her
best-loved child, the husband OF his
wife and baby.
So if the lightning hasn't struck
so close at home, or with such fright
full force, the knowledge that the
house has been burned down or the
family fortunes swept away brings
with it a certain feeling of relief.
But even suppose that one is the
bearer of the heaviest and most sor-
rowful tale that can be told, there
is nothing to be gained by beating
about the bush. Sooner or later the
stark facts must be known, and a
swift, sharp thrust is always easier
to bear than a prolonged dragged
out agony. There is a quality of re-
sistance in the mental fiber of most
of us which increases according to
the force of the blow.
All that we want when bad news
comes our way is. IL people would
only understand 1t, to know the
worst and know 1t at once; for our
imaginations can usually picture
blacker things than any we are likely
to encounter.
This does not necessarily mean
that one should club a person over
the head with a blunt, brutal state
ment of catastrophe. unprefaced and
unsoftened. 1t merely means that the
central and salient fact should be
made known as quickly and with as
little digression as possible. The de-
tails and the efforts at comfort may
be given later.
If You Are the Bearer of Bad News,
1t Is Better to Get 1t
Over Quickly.

yidual characteristics and individual

These facts have been kept from

would cause her. and which would

If the girl had only few months

There is only one fact that stands
out clearly-and that is that the girl
has a right to know of her condition
The doctors diagnosis may be
wrong: they very frequently are, and
no one should accept a sentence OF
lifelong invalidism. There are too
many cures of cases which have been
pronounced hopeless.
Still, If her constitution is so frafl
that she cannot be a real helpmeet
and companion to the man she mar
ries, she should not contemplate such
a step. But she should be given the
opportunity to break the engagement
herself, and not have it broken for
her.

UNDER LEADED SKIES.
(By Associated Press)

! Washington, March 5-The inaug
uration began under loaded skies
which threatened to bring rain at any
moment. President Wilson was UP
at eight o'clock and before nine had
breakfast with his family and the
house guests.
The Twelfth and Sixty Ninth Regi-
ments of New York National Guards
lined the streets from the White
House to the Capitol, This Is the first
time since the first inaugural Of Lin
coin that state troops have been used
to guard the line of march.
Just before Eleven o'clock the
President and his party moved off for
the capitol. The Presidents carriage
was entirely surrounded by troops,
police and secret service men. The
party arrived at the Capitol without
incident. Meanwhile, the galleries
were filling with distinguished guests.
The diplomatic corps was seated on
the floor Of the chamber.

DENOUNCES SENATORS.

Washington, March president
Wilson believes that the killing Of the
Armed Neutrality bill by the Senate
filibuster may effectually prevent him
from arming merchant ships. He ad-
vocates an immediate reform of the
rules by the Senate at the session
called today to prevent small ma
jority from holding up legislation.
The President in a statement de-
nounced the obstructionists and ex-
pressed doubt whether he could pro-
coed to arm ships without legislative
sanction.

Washington, March 5-Oldest at

President Wilson as the most. metho

executive within their memories.
From the very first of his admin.
istration, the Mexican difficulties and
the European war have added i'm
measurably to the duties Of the Presi-
dent, but he has managed to maintain
a strict schedule for his working
hours; he never has been known
through personal fault to be late with
an engagement and has religiously
conserved his time.
A White House caller, booked for
five minute interview with many a
President often got an hour. If one
arranges five minute interview with
Mr.. Wilson, one gets exactly five min
utes--no more--and the way is clear
ed for the next caller.
Although during his first admins
tration the President took no real va
cation, he managed to maintain a reg
ular program Of physical recreation
necessary to conserve his health. He
never has been out Of touth with the
nations business. When at the Sum-
mer White House at Cornish, N. H.,

tariss was close at hand. All during

than two weeks at time on trips

Friends Of Mr.. Wilson say he dis
likes the idea Of going into the coun-
try, but enjoys himself when he does

Many word pictures Of the Presi.
! dent at work and at play have been
| written, but those closest to him say
that his every day life is 4 natural
one for man who never has been
wealthy and has grown up in an At
mosphere Of regularity and natural
living.
Mr.. Wilson does many things per
sonally that could easily be done for
him by others. Frequently he walks
from the executive Offices to the white
House to get book Or letter when he
could more easily press button and
have someone bring it to him. His
liking for directness Of action explains
why more than one occasion he has
walked to different government de-
partments to see cabinet members In
stead Of sunnmoning them to, the,
White House. He has never allowed
precedent to interfere with the course,

When he first came to the white
House he attended to most Of his ON
ciai work in the morning, and played
golf in the afternoon, but this winter,
ne reversed his program, and played
golf in the warm morning hours, and
worked in the afternoon. He goes
golfing either with Mrs. Wilson and
Or. Grayson soon after breakfast, and
works on his mail from noon to /
o'clock. In the afternoon he sees cal
ers and signs official papers, except
m Tuesdays and Fridays, when the
abinet meets. Ordinarily an hour on
donday, Wednesday and Thursday af-
ernoons is set aside for the recep-
ion Of members Of Congress.
After dinner, generally about I
clock, the President does no work
Mess it is absolutely necessary. He

theatre. Detective stories, poems,
nd autobiographies are his favorite
