Meyer Who Had Charge of
Prisoners in Court.
a Relative.
HAS COUSINS HERE
Joseph Meyer Is Also a Cousin
of Ritter Family in KenOsha
It Was Learned.

Joseph Meyer is bailiff in yudge
Caverly's court in Chicago. He had
some wealthy relatives whom he knew
as pleasant affluential people, one OF
his cousins being married to Albert
Loeb, ce-president 6 Sears Roebuck
& Company. Meyers had also cousins
in Kenosha, being own cousin to Alex
Ritter and his brothers and sisters.
Perhaps as short a time as week
ago, Joseph Meyer Of Chicago, if asked
which of his family of cousins he
considered the most fortunate happy
and prosperous, he would have AN
swered unhesitatingly, "The Loeb
family"
But just last Monday young Rich
ard Loeb was brought into Chief
Justice Caverly's court at Chicago,
prisoner, and Bailiff Joseph Meyer,
his own cousin, was the man who was
responsible for his custody
Richard Loeb when child proved UNI
availing. No one here who had known
the family were able to remember
such a person. Kenoshans who knew
Mrs Loeb said that she had not visit
ed here with "Dick," and that her
social responsibilities were occupying
all her time following her, rise into
wealth and position.
A woman who was formerly closely
connected with the Bohnen family,
said this morning that she had never
heard of the Kenosha nurse.
81 do remember Mrs. Loeb well Of
course" she said. eve used to see a
great deal Of her before her marriage
and in the early days Of her union
with Albert Loeb. She was a good
looking woman, and one distinguish
ing feature of her face was the pair
of thick heavy lips which you notice
now in the photographs of Richard
Loeb.
81 haven't seen Mrs. Loeb since
Ernie and AL were born. Yes, those
are her older boys. Since Dick came
the gap between the families has
widened. The Loeb's became so very
wealthy, and got into the Chicago
millionaire crowd with all its social
responsibilities and engagements.
While the mother, Mrs. Bohnen con-
tinued to come here year after year.
Mrs. Loeb's contact seemed to have
ceased.
we never thoughJ Che Tess or her,
knowing how life is and how duties

with increased comforts and riches.
We knew the simplicity and dearnes0
Of her character We have none of us
needed to appeal to her for help, but
always knew from the generosity and
grace of her character as we'll as that
of her husband, that an appeal would
not be in vain"
Another woman wEo knew Mrs.
Loeb said: "The Bohnen family are
all SPLENDID people. They were grand
family, having all the sterling virtues.
And Mrs. Loeb was Bornen in all her
ways, as nice woman as you would
care to meet anywhere. Her rise into
fortune had never spoiled, her one Bit"

Buying up Flies
Grocer Offers to Pay Ten Cents ;
Hundred Until June Is in Inter
csts of Sanitation.

William E. Stevens has extended the
time of his offer Of buying up flies at
ten cents hundred for one week
more, This offer is good until June
16, so bring in your flies boys and
girls and help rid the city of one of
the naughtiest enemies of mankind.
On account of the cold weather, the
flies have been timid and shy this
season, and the youngsters who have
been out catching them have not had
much luck with their lines. If the
sun comes out more like his usual
June self in the next few days, the
storeman expects to be deluged with
gifts of dead housefies.

HONOR
By THOMAS A. CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.

There is apparently in the minds Of
many people a peculiar significance
in being put upon ones honor, what.
ever that may mean, and a peculiar
freedom from responsibility when not
upon honor. An act may be recog.
nized as Objectionable or even as actu.
ally evil, but many people feel no
compunctions of conscience in com,
hitting it, unless they are upon their
honor. Then they would lose a leg
rather than offend.
remember not long age having a
conversation with a young fellow with
reference to certain immoral things OF
which he had been guilty. He agreed
with me ultimately that If the past
could be forgotten he would not in the
future again offend. 1t was not long.
however, until | discovered that he
had broken his agreement.
did you not promise me-" I asked.
that you would not do this thing
again."

ply, but l did not promise upon my
honor"
A few years ago a boy came to my
office and asked me to lend him thirty.
five dollars. He was playing in hard

which he asked he could get to a dis.
tant city and find a job. He would
pay the money back in three months,

II was not of age when I borrowed
the money of you" he finally replied
to my letter, "and 81 l am under no
legal obligation to pay" And he
has never done 30. He was not OF
his honor. you see.
It is a curious thing this honor. I'm.
der certain conditions a man feels
bound by It. He must be honest and
truthful and upright. He must insist
ers. Then he leaves a or turns
a corner, and the whole situation
changes. He may lie or practice dc.
ceit or even steal, and a few think the
worse of him and he not anything the
worse of himself.
1t is a false honor, this l have been
describing. Real honor is based upon
principle, it is the outgrowth of char.
acter. 1t is not Influenced by time or
situation or circumstance. 1t is a part
of a mans everyday life; it controls
and directs his action wherever he is.

KEEPING COOL
By THOMAS A.. CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.

NoRlNG the days when the sun
pours down upon us and the Their
nometer climbs up to the ~one-hundred
mark. no one seems willing to let his
neighbor forget the weather.
is it hot enough for your" the gro
GERS boy queries as he runs in with
the days provisions. Pretty hot day"
a professor ventures, hopping his
dripping dome as he speaks. Some
weather. the elevator boy says as I
make my exit.
Keeping cool is quite as much a mat
ter of temperament as of temperature;
it is a state of mind as well as condi-
ton of the weather. The people who
stand the heat the worst are those
who never allow themselves to forget
it, who talk about it continually, who
are never still, who rush from one
place to another in a frenzy of desire
to find a cool spot; who fuss and fume
and fan until they are red in the face
and running p~erspiration. The best
way to keep cool is to go about your
work m~ethodically, be as quiet as you
CALL duu lOISSt Tie WSdluer.
1t is much the same way with the
other worries of life. We grow hot
over the sights and insults, we are
agitated over our misfortunes as we
| talk of them, and let our minds dwell
upon them, and exaggerate them. We
are constantly tending the fires of
anger or resentment or they would
shortly burn themselves out.
The man who under stress and irri-
tation and Misrepresentation can keep
his balance, car control his temper
and his tongue, can subdue the rising
emotions, has conserved his own
| strength, has made it possible for him
self to do more and better work, and
has more than half defeated the pur-
poses of his opponent.
How can you sit so calmly and say
nothing7 ?" l asked a friend of mine
some time ago, who was the subject of
a bitter, untruthful personal attack.
Because the cooler l keep the hotter
and the weaker his words become
was the answer.
So far as we can, we may better
take the hot words and hot days qui.
city, without comment, without phys.
ical agitation. There is a force and
a strength in keeping cool.
