A New Conservation

Lincoln has been truly called "a
man for the ages" He lived and
spoke for the present and for
the future of American life, as well
as for his own day. There is a
quality, enduring and timeless, about
his utterances. One, as wildly per-
tinent as though uttered in this
hour, might well call for a new
conservation of purpose sorely need
ed in America today. 1t is:
LET every American, every lover
of liberty, every well-wisher to his
posterity, swear by the blood Of
the Revolution never to violate in
the least particular the laws of the
country and never to tolerate their
violation by others. AS the patriots
of '76 did to the support Of the Dec
laration of Independence, so to the
support of the Const it u t n
and laws let every American pledge
his life, his property and his sacred
honor. Let every man remember that
10 violate the law is to trample on
the blood of his father and to tear
the character of his own children's
liberty Let reverence for the laws
be breathed by every American
mother to the lisping babe that pratt
ties on her lap; let it be preached
from the pulpit, proclaimed from
ofurtsin- etao shrd shrdlu etaoinrdl
legislative halls and enforced in
courts of justice. In short, let it
become the political religion of the
nation"

HANDS INDEX TO CHARACTER
Still Reveal Much, Though Probably
Less Than Was the Case Some
Few Years Ago.

Once 1t was possible to tell ''lady'
by her hands-that is If you regarded
lady as "a female of the favored So
cial class" She had well-kept hands
because she did nothing to rOughen
them or enlarge their knuckles or cause
premature wrinkles. Even IL fortune
had gone against her she somehow
avoided the work that would mar the
symmetry of those hands. She do
without sugar for her tea and did
needlework for money in order to avoid
the work that she regarded as mental.
And because a woman of this class
knew that it was at her hands that
others looked for an index to her so
cial position 1t was her hands that she
saved wearing gloves by day and by
night to keep them white and to pro
tect them and repair them from the
ravages of wind, sun and homework.
The situation Is rather different now.
The young woman of immigrant par
ents who sells tinware In the depart
ment store basement has deliberately
manicured nails and hands that are
smooth, but the wife Of the college
president has hands that clearly show
the effects of work that we would once
have regarded as mental.
Perhaps still to the keen observer
hands have something to tell of their
owners rank or pedigree. There are
some hands that no matter how dill
gently manicured always look a little
grimy at the corners, and others, lack
ing entirely the luster of the manicure
buffer, that are always scrupulously
clean.

II is an ancient legend, that Of the
Wandering Jew, and the earliest men,

account related by an Armenian bish-
op In 1928. It has been exploited by
the novelist, the playwright. the poet
and the historian, for 1t Is subject

Tales have differed as to the identity
Of the Wandering Jew. One relates
that he was Kartaphilos. doorkeepcr
In the judgment hall Of Pontius PLATE,
who, when the Man Of Sorrows was
passing through. struck him, saying.
"Go on faster, Jesus" and the replywaS
Il am going, but thou shall tarry till
I come again." A German legend takes
1t up and relates that In the year 1547
the Jew appeared In Hamburg. giving
his name as Ahasuerus, saying that
he had been a shoemaker In Jerusalem
at the time Of the crucifxion. When
Jesus paused at his door to rest the
cobbler pushed Him away, bidding
Him leave, to which the reply was:
Truly I 60 away and that quickly.

LAW NOT STEVENS0N'S FORTE
Popular Writer Was an Advocate by
Profession, but Early Abandoned
the Occupation.

Robert Louis Stevenson, the famous
Scottish novelist and essayist, was an
advocate by rofession-member OF the
Scottish bar-but he never practiced
He hated the law-er at least the
practice of it-and abandoned it fo7
Gteratuse as quickly as he could. At
The bar in Edinburgh, Lord Shaw Of
Dunfermltne (then Mr.. Thomas Shaw,
advocate) had an interesting view Of
Stevenson as an advocate. He writes:
Il remember seeing him, with his
very white wig and his glossy dark
hair, his complexion Of an ivory pallor,
and his cleaning dark eyes. A few
days after Stevenson went to the bar
he had got guinea, sent to him with
instructions His sole duty was to
ask the judge for intimation and serv-
Ice Of petition of the party against
whom 1t was directed. All he had to
do was to stand up at the bar and
utter three words interrogatively In
timation and servicer But he was a
mass Of nerves, and these three words
he could not utter, and he besought
his friend to go into court and make
the little motion for him. I never
heard of his earning another guinea
as an advocate"
