BRiGANDs AND coNoUERoRs.

; From the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch
: 1t is an old, old story, but 1t is
; applicable today when considering
; q certain emperor and the doing Of
: his troops in stricken Russia. It
; will not, therefore. do any harm to
; again relate 1t.
; Once there was Thracfan pirate
; named Dionides. who had been raw
; fshtng the seas in the days Of Alex
; ander. He was finally rounded up
: and taken before the mighty con-
: queror for sentence. Alexander said
; to him something like this:
; You contemplate brigand. how
; dare you infest the seas with your
; misdoings?'
; But It didn't frighten blondes.
; The. pirate simply grinned as he re-
: pHed
; "And you! BY what right do you
: ravish the universe? Just because
: have but one ship am called a
; brigand; but, having whole fleet
; at your command, you are called a
; conquerorl"
? It is recorded that Alexander
; saw the point and released the
: pirate. But the moral is that II one
: man wero to go into the Ukraine
+ and rob the people. he would be
? called a robber or brlgand or some
. thing else despicable. But here we
, have the German emperor throwing
+ thousands of men into the region

War, AS Usual.

Chester M Wright, in the New York
Tribune.
Big pictures are made of little sweeps
and daubs Of paint. Big, wide mind i'm
pressions sometimes are made up Of little
jottings and Hastings of men and things.
The war "over there is really a collection
of experiences through which millions Of
men and women are going in various
ways. 1t is made up Of howitzers and
food shortage, Of trenches and hospitals,
Of women who say ''goodby" to their men
with smile on their faces, and of men
who go bravely into hellfire over heaving
earth-of these and many other things Is
this war made up. 1t is made up of Eng
fish girls working in big munition plants
where they wear rubber shoes to keep
from blowing themselves up, Of engineers
who pull long trains Of wounded into
big London railroad station, of brave men
who go ur, over. that same city to fight off
murderous raiders, of nurses who care
for men who may live and who may die
and of silent folk who go without the food
they used to know about, accomplishing
and resolute. And 1t is made up of q
thousand other things, some of which
don't look as if they had any relation to
war. Here are some little flashes at just
a few of the things that we saw while we

"a tour lasting five weeks, in which we
saw and saw until our eyes ached with
seeing and our minds baked at taking in
any more of the multitude of strange i'm
pressions:
The war is as near to New York as it
is to Paris. The fighting is not. If 1t

Most Wills Are Good.

Robert Grant, in Scribner's Magazine.
The right to regulate what shall be done
with ones property, after death, remains
substantially intact and this, too, not
withstanding the popular impression that
the intention Of testators Is very easily
frustrated. 1t Is a current belief, which
derives color from the sensational con-
tests of which we read In the newspapers,
that great many Wills are broken. But,
though the attacks OF disappointed or
greedy relatives are numerous, the con-
trary Is true. according to the records
OF the largest county Of the state with
which I am most familiar and where
predatory tendencies against testators are
well developed.
These records show steady average of
rather less than per cent OF Wills dis
allowed during the last 10 years, 6 result
which is made more remarkable by the
reminder that some of these were set
aside because Of defective attestat,on In
stead Of the mental incapacity and undue
influence Of the maker ordinarily urged
by the rapacious. The statistics for the
same period show yearly average Of
less than ! per cent of wills compromised
that Is where the legatees and next OF
kin agreed to split their differences with
the sanction of the court. These figures,
which are undoubtedly indicative Of con-
ditions elsewhere, reveal a dispositio. on

There are such people and they are
