swallowed their losses they are not
so easy to excite as one might think
to read the ferocious declarations
they come out with now and again.
They are standing around on the out
skirts of the crowd while bully Rus

Poland. They speak belligerent

like old veterans who have had q
stomach full Of fight, their talk is
their limit and boundary in this az

too Of the petty starting point in
the great war, and are not anxious
to get into another such hot kettle
in somebody else's quarrel.
Poland is the Belgium of today,
and Russia represents the Hun. But
the world is old and can stand by in
passive regret.
Those persons who still regret the
great war can see a deadly parallel
in the situation of Europe again,
only the fighting spirit has been we'll
satiated over there. The European
great lights are busy sending notes,
in doing which they are forced to

pride and display Of the old families
who formed the viceregal court at Will
liamsburg.
To support the large family of his
mother on their too small farm Jeffer-
son turned to the law. In seven years
at the bar he doubled his estate and
increased his slaves to 400. Buying
the little mountain at whose feet he
was born, he built upon its summit
from plans of his own drawing. with
bricks of his own making and with
wood of his own cutting, the n0blest
house in all Virginia. There at Mon
ticellO he made his home ever after.
Jefferson's law practice continued
rapidly to grow until 1t amounted to
$4,000 a year, when he abandoned it
forever to prosecute George III in the
great and general court Of mankind.
He had heard the first call Of the Rev
oluti0n while a law student In Will
liamsburg. Its clarion had been ring
ing in his ears ever since he stood, an
eager loOker-On, in the door Of the
house of burgesses. de saw Washing
ton in his seat and he saw his own
friend, Patrick Henry, fiddllng Vir-
ginian like himself, holding the floor
amid cries of treason as he invited the
king to profit by the example Of Gaze
sar, who had his Brutus, and Charles
I, who had his Cromwell.
The sword, the tongue and the pen
Of American freedom were we'll met
that memorable day. After the pen
had waited twelve years for its turn
to speak Jefferson sat in the congress
at Philadelphia. The squire Of Month
cello was a silent member, as silent
as the squire of Mount Vernon. OPP
portunity and duty went straight to
those two speechless congressman as
the needle leaps to lOadstone.
After serving as governor Of Vir-
ginia and member Of congress Jeffer-
son was sent as minister to the court
of France. "You replace Doctor Frank
lin,' the Count Vergennes said to him
on his arrival in Paris. 81 succeed
him." the new envoy happily replied;
mo one can replace Doctor Franklin"
Six weeks and day after he had
seen that old France of the BourbOns
crash beneath the walls Of the Bastille
Jefferson left Paris to become our first
secretary Of state. Taking his seat at
the right Of Washington he was face
to face across the cabinet table with
Alexander Hamilton, the secretary Of
the treasury.
BY nature and training the two
were as opposite in their political opin-
ions as in their chairs, and they found
themselves, as Jefferson said, "pitted
like fighting cocks" AS they fought
and the feathers flew a great crowd
collected behind each to urge on its
favorite in that cooking main over
which Washington had the unhappi-
ness to preside. Quickly all the people
in the land took one side or the other
and formed themselves into the two
political parties which with changing
names and changing disputes have di.
vided the country to this day.

PART IL.

Madam Schumann-Heink was the
mother of large family. and she
could sing. She loved her home and
her children, and she deserved to
live at home and enjoy them. Her
children loved music, and the sound
of the piano was sweet to, all Of
them. One would think that It
: would be the plan .of the Divine to
shield such q mother in her home,
and have the children grow up in
the sweet environment that she
would make for them. r. Y;
But 1t often happens that wom-
an Of great talents gets hitched up
with husband who cannot or does
not provide for her. It was so In
this case, only he not only could not
provide for his family. but he was
a spendthrift besides. He had such
endearing ways that they tolerated
him in his lack of business appli-
cation and ability. but that did not
provide food and raiment.
The Madam went ION the road"
and sang for the world. The very
necessities of their case compelled
her to stay on the road and make
money. In SO doing she rendered
q great service to her audiences, for
her music was Of the kind that not.
only entertains people but inspires
them to greatness. She often went
to her engagements so homesick
that her heart was all but breaking,
and on such occasions she sang with
80 much feeling that she captured
her audiences and they in turn cheer
ed her to the echo and raised her
spirits to an ecstacy. She cultivated
them and they stimulated her to
achievements she had not known
she was capable of.
On one occasion when she had not
seen her children for so long she
could hardly stand it, she found
break in her engagements that would
permit her to go to Chicago, her
home city. and stay one hour and
take the next train out and fill the
next engagement But it was fifteen
hundred miles into Chicago and on
ly one hour to remain if the trains
were on time clear thru going and
returning. With a confidence born
of a great soul she planned for and
took the trip, held her children In
her arms, enjoyed the hour with
them and saw Chicago vanishing
once more. =.
If, her husband had been a bust
ness success, and she loving her
home and children with such love
as that the millions who have heard
her sing would have missed all the
e Joy and inspiration that her songs
and music gave them.
AS you look over your own life
and see where some of the dearest
treasures have been snatched from
you, try to analyze the case and
see what greater service you have
rendered by being forced into some
line of activity you would not have
chosen, and try to see whether there
may not have been divine hand
managing you for the sake Of others,
and perhaps for yourself.

Reality Of Disease Germs.

Replying to protest from Lee
White, publicity department Of the
Christian Scientists, against remarks
on the death from diphtheria Of a girl
under Christian Science treatment, the
Journal Of the American Medical AssO-
citation says: "Had the nine-year-0ld
girl been buried beneath load Of
bricks, even Mr.. White would have
suggested, we believe, that before CIV
ing the injured child Christian Sc',x
ence' treatment-'absent' or present,
the bricks should be removed. What
Mr.. White fails to realize is that
Klebs-LOeffler bacillus is just as ma
terial an object as brick. It does
material damage, 1t is true, not by its
material weight, but by the equally
material toxins it produces"

Simple Telephony.

An interesting development in tele-
phony is new three-wire wall net
which operates on two ordinary dry
cells, says the Scientific American. The
telephone itself is built for the use
and pleasure Of youngsters. The in
stallation is very simple, as the tele-
phones fasten to the walls with two
screws and there is nothing more tech
meal for the boy to do than to follow
simple instructions in connecting the
wire with the posts on each telephone
box. The set will operate up to 1000
feet, instead Of the usual 100 or 200
feet, If two additional dry cells are
employed.

tOral votes Of winning the presidency
against Adams. In the second battle,
which was waged in 1900, he beat
Adams.
Contrary to the familiar story Of his
hitching his horse to the capitol fence,
Jefferson walked to his Inauguration
and afterward walked back to his
boarding house, which was only few
hundred yards away. This man afOOt,
dreamer and theorist, quietly ushered
in that day a more lasting revolution
than a man on horseback could have
wrought with a sword and Whit of
grapeshOt.
Believing that revolutions should
begin at home Jefferson revolutionized
the White House by casting aside the
ceremonials which had been adopted
in feeble imitation Of kingly courts.
Opening the doors to all, without re-
gard to social classifications and with
out order Of precedence, his rule was
first come, first served" Determined
that the president, as he said, should
cease to be a parsonage, he stopped
the custom Of celebrating a presidents
birthday, never made a public tour,
did his own marketing and went and
came like any other citizen. Although
no successor has thrown British min
lister into fit Of indignation by re-
ceiving him in slippered feet, Jeffer-
sonian simplicity rather more than
Washingtonian cOurtliness remains the
standard Of presidential conduct.
It was the strange fortune Of this
most th0rOughgoing pacifist to find
himself at the helm in the midst Of
a world at war. When the globe was
bristling with bayonets until it looked
like a pOrcupine, he calmly announced
that peace was his passion, and start
ed out by cutting down his little army
one-half and by talking Of hauling up
his seven warships. His only interest
in the Napoleonic struggle was to keep
out Of 1t.
Nevertheless while the military pow
ers were fighting over little islands
and provinces and drenching Europe
with their blood, this most unmilitary
president, without firing shot, gath
cred in far richer spoils than the vic
tors in twenty-five years Of warfare
divided among themselves at the con-
gress of Vienna. AS Jefferson's cleo
ton was a bloodless revolution, his
purchase of the immense empire of
Louisiana, which doubled the territory
Of the United States, was bloodless
conquest, the greatest peaceable an
nexation the world ever saw. Having
made it, the flag was no more than
hoisted on the farther bank Of the
Mississippi than he dispatched Lewis
and Clark and Captain Pike boldly to
spy out the unexplored rivers and
Of the new soil, SO honestly
won, and from which so many free
states were to spring.
Jefferson is the only president who
remained the leader of his party af-
ter leaving the White House. Indeed,
the Democrats never have ceased to
swear allegiance to his spirit.
