DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE
German Submarine Commander Who
Sank Lusltania Also Now at
Bottom of Sea.

The commander Of the German sub
marine that sank the Lusitania Is now
at the bottom of the sea, according to
q story which has reached American
Legion headquarters. Flogged and
flung over the side Of Paraguan war
vessel, he met death with dose OF
his own medicine.
The story is that the commander,
fleeing from allied justice, took refuge
In Paraguay, where he at once took
out naturalization papers and swore
allegiance to the Paraguan republic.
Friends in the shipping world secured
for him the command Of Paraguan
man-o'-war, the Adolph Riquelml. He
had hardly set his heel upon the decks
when he inaugurated the rules which
had been his custom. The crew, with
their Latin blood, could not stomach
the diet as the stolid Teutons had
done in the old days. So they passed
him around for a beating, and then
threw him into the sea, far from sight
Of land.

"YES" AND "NO"

THESE two ntle words, yes and
= no, with which men have been
wrestling for ages, are vocables Of
enormous meaning, capable Of settling
all the simple and complex problems
In life, when used with utmost wisdom
anu likewise with utmost caution.
In Washington, the statesmen who
were debating and adjusting the ques-
tiOn Of limited armament found
It difficult at times to apply 'yes" and
mo" to the interrogations which
naturally arose In the discussion, and
in which the whole world is vitally in
tereSted.
To use these monosyllables at the
right time and In the proper place Is
the earnest wish Of every fair-minded
man or woman who would have peace
and goodwill on EARTH"
But to do so in trtuh and mercy,
when dissension IS rife and righteous
ness seems to be tumbling noisily like
mountains in an earthquake, requires
the wisdom Of Solomon and the pa
tience of Job, accompanied with divine
guidance.
How many lives Of promising young
men and women have been bllghted
by the indiscriminate playing Of "yes"
and mo?
How many nations have gone to war
through the utterance In anger Of
ruthless "yes" when a complacent mo"
authoritatively spoken, might have
saved millions Of precious lives. I'M
told sorrows and inestimable treas
ure?
He or she who makes merry with
these small words without giving
thought to the immensity Of their pow
er to create or destroy, Is risking
everything In this life, and possibly
I'm the life to come.

DOING THINGS RIGHT

WOH, IT'LL DO"
~ How many times do you sup
pose you have heard this sentence
spoken by those who should know bet
ter? How often have you said the
same thing yourself when you knew
that you'd never be entirely satisfied
when you announced your half-hearted
Okeh?
Things are either right or they're
wrong. There cant be any halfway
ground If one wishes to enjoy to the
fullest his own handiwork or the hap
piness Of knowing that he has done a
valuable service for mankind. When
ever q person quits laborlng at any
thing before the job Is entirely satis-
factorily finished, there Is certain to
follow disappointment and Il sense OF
resentment against ones own careless
ness. And whenever one In authority
okehs the work done by others by SOW
ing that "it'll do" neither he nor those
engaged on the job will ever be
pleased as greatly as II the task had
been perfectly done.
One of the chief reasons why many
go through life unhappy and COM
plain of their rough pathways, Is the
inclination they display by aiming too
often for "what'll do" rather than aim
ing constantly for the very best.
Fortunately there Is n growing ten
dency to demand perfect goods and
perfect work. There has been entirely
too much imperfection In both finished
materials and in the way work Is done.
But, perhaps, after all this has been a
good thing. If 1t has caused an
awakening to a sense Of the impor-
tance of absolute perfection. the diff

breakers ahead-these things plunge
US into gloom.
And we, in our turn, pass the gloom
along. For our friends, seeing the
black and foreboding faces that we
wear, grow gloomy too.
One sullen-faced man in an office
will sometimes spoil the day for the
entire working force.
One croaker on board a ship In
storm may send the whole passenger
list into something very like a panic.
Nobody loves a gloomy man-but
everybody listens to him-and looks
at him.
The prophet of evil is never without
an audience.
Poe, In his remarkable poem shows
how the raven, by croaking the word
"nevermore" was able to drive luck
less poet almost to the verge Of In
sanity.
Continual gloom Is not good for the
soul, any more than continual shadow
would be good for the green anl bios
soming things upon the surface OF the
earth.
We all need sunshine and great
deal Of It.
1t Is not necessary to go about con-
tinually telling people how happy we
are, like Pollyanna, but we can at
least keep our trouble to ourself. and
not look as II we were limping along
toward the grave or the gallows.
The gloomy man or woman In q
home destroys the happiness Of an en-
tire family-and usually drives the
children out on the streets, where at
least there Is air and sunshine, and
maybe now and tnen hurdy-gurdy.
The reason the jazz Is popular, that
the comic supplement sells by the ;nil-
lion copies, and that the comedian gets
q thousand dollars a week Is because
we will do anything to get rid OF
gloom.
1t is a burden on life, menace to
human happiness. If you are a gloom
addict, change your mode Of thought.
You are as much Of menace to the
community In which you move as was
Typhoid Mary" to hers.

tered an exclamation, more droll than
dolorous, though II affected to be Who'll
" the latter; for the shock to Fred
was by no means so painful as it was
to his friend.
Ramsey leaned forward and read
the name indicated by Fred's fore
| finger.
DORA YOCUM.
When they got back to their
pleasant quarters at Mrs. Meigs', fac
ing the campus, Ramsey was still un-
able to talk Of anything except the
lamentable discovery; nor were his
companions burlesquing efforts to con-
sole him of great avail, though Fred
did become serious enough to point
out that university was different
from nigh school.
"It's not like havin' to use one big
room as a headquarters, you know,
Ramsey. Everything's all split up, and
she might happen not be in a single
one Of your classes"
You don't know my luck!" the af-
flicted boy protested. II wish I'd gone
to Harvard, the way my father wanted
me to. Why, this Is just the worst
nuisance l ever struck! You'll see |!
She'll be in everything there IS, just
the way she was back home"
He appeared to be corroborated by
the events of the next day, when they
attended the first meeting to organize
the new class. The masculine ele-
ment predominated, but Dora Yocum
was elected vice president. "You
see?" Ramsey said. Didn't l tell
you? You see what happens?"
But after that she ceased for a time
to intrude upon his life, and he admit
ted that his harassment was less grave
than he had anticipated. There were
about five hundred students In the
freshman class; he seldom saw her,
and when he did It was not more than
distant glimpse Of her on one Of
the campus paths. her thoughtful head
bent over book as she hurried to q
classroom. This was bearable; and in

HAD THE "THEODORA" ODOR
Fancy French Pets Saturated With un-
welcome Perfume OF Marshal
Foch's American Mascot.

Fifty thousand francs worth of pet
dogs were temporarily ruined by Mar
shal Fochs wild cat on the voyage to
France. When the marshal, as guest
Of the American Legion, had picked
up Theodore from an admiring friend,
he had little reckonei what devasta-
tion was In store.
Theodore was placed. in the kennel
room atop the liner Paris, under care
Of the ships butcher, who acted as
animal valet for the trip. Believing
that the fluffy Pekinese, and poodles,
and Mexican hairlesses that shared
her compartment did not represent,
like herself, the true red-blooded pi-
oneering spirit of America, Theodore
lay quietly in her cell and exuded the
aroma peculiar to wildcats. When the
Paris touched the shores Of France,
the valet handed the pet dogs around
to the group Of daintily-scented mad
amoiselles and was greeted with loud
shrieks.
