Drum Major Necessary.

Indispensable is the drum major OF
a rural brass band, and the envy Of the
small boy is he as well. This func-
tionary is about as serviceable as
figurehead on battleship, writes Tim
In Cartoons Magazine, yet his duties
are beyond estimation In keeping the
tubas and trombones from stumbling
into mud puddles and guiding the al
legged musicians past refreshment en-
poriums. His success rests on the ex-
tent Of his ability to twirl the stick
over three-story buildings and catch 1t
behind his back on its descent. He Is
to the band what the monkey Is to a
hand-organ. All eyes are upon him
while the ears feast on the music. Big
city bands often roam about the streets
unescorted by a drum major and feel
not at all disconnected by his absence,
but a country band would not deem
itself At to be seen on parade without
this distinguished appendage.

JUDICIAL SYSTEMS ARE OLD
Men Wrangled Over Rights and
Wrongs From Time They Began
to Live Together.

The concrete beginning Of system
lied judiciary, writes Lewis M. Hosea
In Case and Comment, are as old as
the tribal relation. Men quarreled
about rights and wrongs as soon as
they began to live together as a COM
munity, and the chief Of the tribe, or
the "elders," judged between claim
ants.
Indeed, at the earliest beginnings Of
recorded history we find In Egypt a
judicial system, including a reviewing
power and remarkably developed ideas
of administrative justice. judicial Of
flcers in their epitaphs rest their claim
to Immortality upon having judged i'm
partially, never depressing the weak
and humble, and their merciful regard
for the fatherless and the widow.
In the Code Of Hammurabi Of Baby
lon were embodied many Of the essen
tial principles of modern justice which
were transmitted to European peoples
through the conquests of Alexander
and the Romans. These form the
primal basis of the Roman civil law Of
our English ancestors, derived through
the early tribes of northern Europe.
Even old Homer (88 B. CO. gives US
a suggestive picture Of the modern sys-
tenn Of court trials, as the Odyssey:
"what time the Judge forsakes the

To take repast, and stills the wordy

CONFUSING CITY OF CAGNES
Tourists Find II Advantageous to
Learn to Distinguish From Similar
Name-Cannes.

American and English visitors to the
Riviera soon come to know Cagnes by
name, according to Harper's Magazine.
1t is a challenge to their ability to pro-
nounce French-a challenge that must
be accepted, If you are in the region
Of Grasse or Nice or Antilles. Two
distinct tramway lines and several
roads lead from Grasse to Cannes and
Cagnes. Unless you are very careful
you may find yourself upon the wrong
route. Once on the Cagnes tramway,
or well engaged upon the road to
Cagnes, when you had meant to go to
Cannes, the mistake takes hours to re-
trieve.
At Nice chauffeurs and cochers love
to cheat you by the confusion Of these
two names. You bargain for the long
trip to Cannes, and are attracted by
the reasonable price quoted. In a
very short time you are at Cagnes. The
vehicle stops. Impossible to rectify
your INSTRUMENTATION without a sub
stantial Increase of the original sum
Of the bargain. Antilles is between
Cagnes and Cannes. Cagnes is nearer,
and 1t is always to Cannes that you
want to 60. Spell the name or write
1t on a piece of paper If you are to be
sure that you will be taken west In
stead of east.

Plain Dealer. The age has passed
when the yearly dividend paid to stock
holders is accepted by the public as
the sole cause for the existence Of an
industry. Neither are we justified In

SLOW TRAVEL IN MANCHURlA
Better Progress Is Made in Winter
Than in Summer by Anticipated
Methods.

Although 1t is much easier to reach
teen years ago. the man who would
travel In the interior of this primitive
part of China, as soon as he leaves the
few railroads must rely upon means
that were standard q century ago.
If 1t is winter he will rattle over the
frozen mud In a cart drawn by three
horses. At night he will stop at an inn
where he must supply his own bed and
a large part Of his own food. unless he
is willing to be satisfied with little
boiled corn. The walls Of his room
will be Of paper and eyes will peer at
him through holes hastily punched for
the purpose. In the morning his driv-
er will awaken him before daylight and
start him on another long day of jolts
and freezing.
In the summer travel Is easier and
pleasanter, but also much slower. A
boat may be taken upon one Of the
rivers. 1t will crawl along between
pleasantly shaded banks and green
fields, every little while coming to rest
upon sandbar, so that progress is I'M
believably slow, even going down
stream. Against the current the boat
is laboriously poled and dragged with
heavy ropes.
By these means the traveller may
penetrate into a region where change
Is unknown and the principles of Con-
fucius still rule. He will meet natives
who have never seen a watch or a rail-
road train, although they nominally
belong to one Of the oldest civiliza-
lions; he will see the squalor and dirt
and disease that 60 with ignorance.
The fact will be forcibly brought
home to him that modern progress
travels over good roads.

SHOULD KEEP ON ACHIEVING
Good Work Demands Continuous I'M
provement in Every Line Of
Human Activity.

The other day a famous author was
telling me how he felt when his first
story was accepted. He said that with
In a few minutes the thought flashed
across his mind that he could not stop
but must go on. One good story
must be followed by another and an
other and anOther-else his reputation
would die and he would be Inundated.
He said that the feeling was not eX-
actly comfOrtable-that the prospect
was in a way terrible. "Being success
full" he said, sis not easy. The sue
cessful man advertises to the world
that he can do certain things we'll
and he must go on making good or
back off the map. It's great sensa-
tlOn, great experience-worth almost
anything-but it isn't q snap"
1t is the same way In business, says
a writer in the American Magazine.
The salesman who sets high mark
has to go right out and beat that
mark or suffer by comparison with his
own record. He can't sit down in a
rocking chair and devote the rest OF
his life to receiving congratulations.
Have you ever sat in a restaurant
and compared your job with that Of a
waiter? Try 1t some time. No matter
what your work is I am sure you will
see the point If you watch the waiter
and think how exactly his Job typifies
yours. Take, for example, my job
that Of an editor. An editors job is
exactly like that Of waiter. He has
to go and get something good and bring
1t In. And after he has brought 1t In
he has TO go right out and get some
thing more and bring that In. The
minute he sits down or stops to talk
unnecessarily with the guests, he
ceases to give as good service as be-
fore. Then the guests who praised
him a moment ago begin to growl.
And so, almost Immediately, he has
turned from a good servant into a
poor one.
This fits any line Of human activity.
A continuous performance is what Is

World,a Greatest Weavers.

RIGS executed by the gifted ancient In

buried three centuries or more In the

RAISE FIVE VICE PRESIDENTS
Tyler, Fillmore, johnson, Arthur and
Roosevelt Succeeded on Death
Of the President.

Five vice presidents Of the United
States have on the death Of the presi-
dent succeeded to the higher office.
The first president to die while in office
was William Henry Harrison, grand
father Of Benjamin Harrison Of In
diana. His death occurred April 4,
ls41, Just one month after his inaugur-
alton. The vice president, John Tyler,
then at his country home in Virginia,
was officially notified Of the event and
on reaching Washington, at once took
the oath Of Office as president.
As this was the first case Of the kind
there was much discussion for time
In and out Of congress as to Tyler's
proper title-that is, whether he was
"vice president Of the United States
acting as president" or president. 1t
was finally conceded on all sides that
the language Of the Constitution Is
clear that on the death Of the presi-
dent in Office the vice president be-
comes, in name as In fact, president.
The trainers of the Constitution did
not leave the door open for trouble
that might arise regarding the legality
Of acts done by an "acting president"
On the death of President Zachary
Taylor, July 9, 1850, Vice President
Millard Fillmore succeeded to the pres.
idency and was at later date an un'
successful candidate for election to the
office. Andrew johnson, the third vice
president to succeed to the higher Of
fee, took the oath April 15, 1855. the
