two Urchins, Edgar and Ru-
fus. who went TO the Post
with about an equal Handicap.
They got away together down
the broad Avenue OF Hope which
leads one Lad over the Hills and
far away to the United States
Senate Chamber and guides an
other unerringly to the Fedsl al
Pen near Leavenworth. Kansas.
When Edgar was a Tootsey he
received a frequent busting with
Extreme Violent Talcum Powder.
About the same time Rufus was
propped up TO look at Pictures of
Napoleon and John l.. Sullivan
and Sitting Bull.
At school each was q trifle
Dumb.
II Edgar fell down on an Exam.
his Relatives would call a Mass
Meeting to express Regrets and
hang Grape all over the Place.
II Rufus got balled up in his
Answers, his immediate Kin would
pat him on the Back and tell him
he was right and the Textbook
was wrong.
Edgar would emerge from the
+ athers every morning to find
his Parents all lined up to wish
him a new set OF Police Regula-
tons.
They held up the Rigid Fore
finger and warned him that he
was merely a Grain OF Dust and
a Weakling and a poor juvenile
Mutt whose Mission in Life was
TO Lie Down and Behave.
Rufus would he aroused each
Sun,ise by a full Military Band
of 90 Pieces playing Hail to the
Chief who in Triumph Advances"
Whenever Edgar was forced into
a Battle and came home smeared
and disarranged his Mother would
go to her Room and Cry softly
and Father would paint a vivid
Word-Picture OF a Wretch stand
ing on the Gallows with a Black
Cap over his Head.
Theh Edgar would crawl to the
Hay Now and brood over his
Moral Infirmities and try in a
cropping way to figure out his Re
lation to Things in General.
But. when Rufus appeared all
dripping with Gore, his Seconds
would cool him out and rub him
with Witch Hazel and pin Medals
on him.
No wonder he became as pugna-
cious as U. S. Grant. as conceited
as a Successful Business Man and
as self-assured as a Chautauqua
Lecturer.
Every one disliked him in
tensely. But just the same, they
stepped off into the Mud and
gave him the entire double width
Of Cement Sidewalk.
Edgar, on the other hand, was
one OF the most popular Door
Mats that ever had Welcome"
marked up and down his Spinal
Column.
All those who scratched
Matches on him and used him as a
Combination Hall Tree and Hitch
ing Post used 70 remark that he
didn't have an Enemy in the
World.
They had corraled his Goat, so
he had to play the Part himself.
1t had been dinged into him that
True Politeness means to wait un-
til every one else has been Served
and then murmur a few Thanks
for the Leavings.
Besides, his Parents had con.
WINGED him that If he went Fish
ing he wouldn't get a Nibble, and
IL he climbed Tree he would fall
and break his Leg, and II he tried
to manipulate more than Two
Dollars at one time, he would go
Blink.
Therefore, when both were in
Colorado, Rufus acted as plunging

done as much to restore a good
understanding between the
United States OF America and
ourselves-and the peace Of the
world largely depends upon that
foundation.
EUROPEAN SITUATION.
When coming to the European
situation. here you are dealing
with old and rooted complica-
tions. You have old hatreds, old
riValries. old feuds. old sus.
picions, old distrusts. The best
and the worst in the national
lives Of European peoples in
their passions and In their ideals
are inextricably mixed.
When you begin to deal with
any European problem you begin
to realize 1t requires unfailing
patience, persistence, continuity,
and refusal to be dismayed by
temporary setbacks.
The men who think they can
cleanse Europe OF its ills and
straighten out the European tan.
gle In two or three years are
either ignorant Of the real con-
ditions or they are misleading
their public. What has hap.
pened in France shows how
warily you have to tread among
so many bristling suspicious.
There is only one way to ef-
feet, greatly improve. and ulti-
mately reach the goal. and that
Is by insisting on bringing the
nations to the test Of peace and
not OF force.
INSISTENT MEETINGS.
How are you to do that? In
sistent meetings, discussing. rea-
soning, and. let US say the word,

have been no catastrophe in Au-
gust. 1t would have been i'm
possible. You watch 1t. 1t is
my business to watch It, and this
is what happens when you do
not meet to interchange views.
Misunderstanding arise. Mis-.
understandings ripen almost into
entanglements. Fierce contro
versies begin. After an interval
you have conference. and mis-
understandings disappear, sus-
picious are removed. and there
is an improved temper, and al.
though you do not achieve the
ultimate result, you get nearer.
No. it is true you cannot point
to a single conference that has
settled the entanglements, but
each conference is a rung in the
ladder that enables you to reach
ultimate peace on earth.

ing from his Nostrlls. and
achieved the undying distinction
OF being singled on. by Walter
Camp.
Edgar sat up on the Bleachers
with $500 other Mere Students
and lent a quavering Tenor to
Song about Alma Mater.
Even the Undergrads could not
take the Tuck out OF Rufus.
He was fresher than Green
Paint and his Work was Raw
but he was so Resilient that no
one could pin him to the Mat and
keep him there.
When a Boy has been told ST.
times a Day for many Years that
he is the Principal Feature OF the
Landscape, 1t takes more than or
binary Doctoring to CUE him.
He left College thoroughly con.
WINGED that the World was his
Oyster and that he had an Opener
in every Pocket.
He began grabbing Public Serv-
ice Utilities by Strong-Arm meth
DDS, whereupon a lot of Uplifters
became excited and wanted some
one else to head him off
He put things Across because.
when he tucked the Ball under
his Arm and began TO dig for
the Goal Of his Immediate Ambi.
ton. all the Feiends OF Public
Veal were scared Blue and re-
tired behind the Ropes.
Edgar took his Degree out into
the Cold Wo Id and began to make
Apologize Inquiries regarding
Humble Employment which would
involve no responsibilities.
He became an Office Lawyer
OF the dull gray Variety with a spe-
Cial Aptitude for drawing up
Leases and examining Abstracts.
He could not face a Jury or fight
a Case because the fond Parents
had put the Indian Sign on him
and robbed him of all his Grimp.
But a Nice Fellow?
You know il,
Anyone who had a Book to sell,
or a Petition to be signed, or n
Note that needed indorsing came
dashing right into Edgar's Office
and hailed him as the Champion
Patsy Bolivar.
Not one of these ever ventured
into the Lair of the Street Railway
Gar, for he knew that Rufus
might jump over the Mahogany
Table and bite him in the Arm.
Even Edgar, when he made a
Business Call on Boyhood Friend
and Loving Classmate, was per-
mitted to wait in the Outer Room,
resting his Hat on his Knees. and
mingling on terms of Equality
with the modish Typist and the
scornful Secretary.
And when they went away TO
look at some Properties, Rufus
took the Stateroom while Edgar
drew an Upper.
Everyone at the Club referred
to Edgar as n Good Scout, but
when all the Push gathered at the
Round Table and some one let fall
the Name of the High-Binder, they
would open up on Rufus and Pan
him to a Whisper.
Then Rufus would enter in his
Fur Coat, upsetting Furniture and
Servants as he swept through the
Lounging Room.
Immediately there would be an
Epidemic of Goose Pimplcs and a
Ruch to shake hands with him.
Rufus was sinfully Rich. but
nevertheless Detestable, because
his Family had drilled into him
the low.down Habit OF getting the
Jump on the Other Fellow.
Edgar may live in a Rented
House, but he will always have
the inward Satisfaction Of know

have inadvertently been crossed?
Why do you propitiate your luck
by throwing a nailful OF split
salt over your left SHOULDER?
The reason is that we still
have a sneaking belief in the
direct agency Of mysterious powers
in certain events. a belief that the
fortunes of individuals are and
can be swayed by invisible. sin
lister forces. Superstition takes
its rise from the feeling Of APP
prehenslon or dread of the un.
known. Our modern superstitions
are really remnant of the belief
in the whole phantasmagoria Of
COLLINS, devils, and spirits that
obsessed the human mind to such
a remarkable extent in the Middle
Ages.

HCR prisons are said to be full
Of criminals OF quite a new
order, drawn from classes
hitherto of irreproachable reputa-
ton. The most engaging young
men and women often commit
heinious crimes, and most of the
great jewel robberies are now at
tributed to malefactors who move
habitually in the best society.
Apparently men may be "gen.
tlemen" buy day now, whatever
their occupation by night. Scot
land Yard tells us that we must be
prepared for a new race OF Grim
inals altogether.
Men and women. who have had
good education. who have lived in
substantial houses, have in some
cases taken university degrees, in
others qualified for the learned
professions-these men and women
are now devoting their consider
able brains to criminal purposes.
