Carol Of Hohenzollern was Rouma-
MAS first king.
He was called from Germany when
quite a young man to take upon him
self the difficult task Of ruling and
organizing a country full Of vitality
and promise but which needed to be led
by a wise ruler towards greater de-
velopment than could be obtained I'M
der local rule.
For many reasons Roumanians felt
the necessity Of calling foreigner to
be their sovereign. 1t would end vari-
Gus quarrels and family feuds as TO
who should rightly head the country.
Carol did not come down to Rouma-
MIA as king but with the title Of prince.
In those days, it must be borne in
mind, Roumania was still vassal to
Turkey-only half a century ago.
1t was after the Russo-Turkish war
into which Roumania entered on the
side Of the Russians and Bulgarians,
that King Carol declared himself indie
pendent of Turkish sway and allowed
himself to be crowned king by his
grateful subjects.
Wise had been Roumania's choice OF
King Carol, imbued as he was with
all the German ideals Of order, duty
and hard work. He achieved marvels

Budding Genius
The Philanthropist.
By H. L. Manning.

A philanthropist deliberately goes in
search for suffering and doesn't wait
for a disaster. He not only gives re-
lief, but his calm methods help lot,
then he looks for assistance where he
can, and organizes a regular system
for relief to further his plan.
The man possessing the philanthrop-
ic heart never is at peace with the
world unless he is actively engaged in
The relief Of physical distress, and he
shows it even in childhood. He is
usually nursing every stray cat and
dog in his neighborhood and has the
habit Of giving everything away to any
who seem to be in need.
1t is strong instinct, and such
person is a target until be learns bet
ter through sad experience. 1t is
the instinct that draws so many into
the Salvation Army.
A quiet, peace-loving boy Of four
teen stopped me at the office door and
said: Il wish you wouldn't send me
TO visit any more factories, sir, they
upset me. When I see those people
working so hard at the same thing
day after day, they are like machines;
like slaves. and it destroys their lives"
"You didn't know / sent you to
them for that very reason. You suf-
fer now from philanthropic heart be-
cause you have had no experience.
Your mother told me when you first
came her that she had difficulty TO
keep you in clothes because you insist
ed upon giving them away 10 every
kid you saw who had a torn shirt.
Your studies, apart from the school,
must include study Of how experienced
men handle just these things, and have
a bit Of experience yourself; there
fore, before long, / am going to send
you to jail"
That is how youth came to visit
every founding asylum, probation
court, reformatory and, during college
life, the prisons. Coming from a fam
lily Of great means. had been posted
by the boys father:
HE is not to enter business in the
usual sense. We have many philan-
thropies concerning which the public
know little or nothing, and It win be
required Of him to supervise them in
due time. Select for him courses in
school and college with that end in
view. think the boy has it in him,
but that is for you to find out"
There was nothing to find out. Ma
ture had passed the pbilantbropic
sense along through three generations,
for the grandfather is still known as
one Of Americas greatest philanthrop-
lists.
When the young man came Of age
be was importuned on all sides by
nothing less than downright begging,
but in season learned his lesson.
Why need it be surprising that a
14-year-old boy known TO possess this
impulse OF nature has grown into the
management Of one Of our great foun-
dations?

Life's Hurdles
Hallucinations and Decisions
BY L. E. Bisch

AlolAd@hH0hhOhbd Aid SSAaSAOAAe
There seems to be a general mis-
conception as to what Authorizations
and decisions really are.
If someone is known to possess them
they are usually put down as mentally
unbalanced.
This, however, is not necessarily
true.
A hallucination is a mistake Of the
senses-nothing more.
II you think you see clock on the
mantcl shelf, for instance, and there
actually is no clock there-that's a
hallucination Of sight /.
If you hear the ticking Of a clock
when there isn't any ticking--vhen
your imagination has tricked you into
hearing something that does not exist
that's n hallucinntion of hearing!
The same holds true Of the other
senses of taste, smell and touch.
Nothing bitter or sweet when what
you taste is not actually bitter or
sweet-being convinced that an odor is
foul, or touching a thing and having
it feel to you quite different from what
it ought to-all such as these make
you a sufferer from Authorizations.
A delusion is n mistake Of judg-
ment.
IL you believe you own million
dollars when you don't that's delu-
sion.
If you think people arc following
you and prosecuting you-again when
actually they are not--that's a delu-
sion.
But whether such mistakes Of the
senses or Of the Observation-Disclosures
hallucinations and decisions respec-
lively, are the products Of a deranged,
insane mind is quite another matter.
If you have hallucination Of sight
and see a nonresident clock, but then
verify il, find il is not so, and In
consequence change your opinion
why, you've simply made an ordinary
mistake that's all. You have corrected
your mistake besides. Your hallucina-
ton is not insane.
II you believe people follow you aud
prosecute you and an appeal is made
to your reasoning, through which you
correct your error Of judgment--if
then you cease to think you're bounded
why. here again your delusion is not
insane.
Our senses and judgments often
make mistakes
Only if VIC persist in believing, after
evidence is brought TO bear that dis
proves what we believe, are we in a
dangerous way?
Besides, when dealing with insan-
ity the decisions and Authorizations
are numerous.
They are also very unusual and
very far-fetched and altogether out of
harmony with the individuals sur
roundings and past life.
People don't go insane so easily
anyway.

And every man a weaponed slave;

GRAINS OFF ON \

Close Finds Wheat 7-8@1C
Of-Up at Opening.

BIZ United Press

BB United Press
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Profit taking
forced all grain prices to a lower
close on the Chicago Board of Trade
today.
Wheat closed 7s01c off. The
market scored an early sharp ad-
vance on strong cables and the bull
ish report of the Winnipeg Free
Press, which showed the serious ef-
feet OF the long wet spell on the
grade of Canadian wheat. This
caused both deliveries to touch new
highs on the crop. Cash prices were
1kc higher, with only 10000 bushels
of export business reported.
Corn failed to top Fridays close
at any time during the session. The
close was NOS lower on the re-
ceipt of 225,OO bushels of old grain
and heavy profit taking despite num-
erous bullish crop reports from vari-
Gus sections of the belt. Spot values
were barely steady.
Oats was rather active; May being
as much as 1c higher at one time.
However, the close was a lower
with the other cereals. Cash prices
showed no change.
Provisions closed slightly higher.
