required. s-.-... ---
But some things have their limits.
When once more the morning dawned
and the good physician looked out upon
massed and far-reaching multitude Of
clamorous and beseeching dogs he said:
II might as well acknowledge it,
have been fooled by the books. They
only tell the pretty part of the story and
then STOP Fetch me the shotgun. This
thing has gone along far enough"
He issued forth with his weapon and
chanced to step upon the tail of the
original poodle. who promptly bit him
in the leg. Now the great and good
work which this poodle had been en-
gagged in had engendered in him such
mighty and augmenting enthusiasm as
to turn his weak head at last and drive
him mad.
j. month later, when the benevolent
physician lay in the death throes of
hyprophobia, he called his weeping
| friends about him and said:
Beware of books. They tell but half
of the story. Whenever a poor wretch
asks you for help and you feel a doubt
as - what reSS7st may follow from your
benevolence, give yourself the benefit
Of the doubt and kill the applicant"
And so saying he turned his face to
the wall and gave up the ghost.

DO They Spray IT.

A news dealer submitted an interest
ing question the other day. He said his
hand usually touches that of the Gus
toner when he receives money Tor a
paper or magazine. He remarked that
some doctors say is diseases can be
carried by handshaking or contact OF
the hands, and he wondered whether
he might contract any definite disease
in this way.
1t is reasonable enough to assume
that certain diseases may be conveyed
through such contact OF the hands.
think of scahies at once, the olo-faSh-
ioned "seven-year" itch. Then think
of ringworm; next Of common pus germ
infections such as are ordinarily re-
Sponsible for boils, fostering Of slight
soning (septicemia), and finally think
of the familiar epidemic eruptive dis
eases such as smallpox, scarlet fever
measles, though I have considerable
doubt about these aforementioned dis
eases; that is, believe they rarely Y
ever spread by contact. but only through
the nose and throat discharges.
I advised the neGsnan that q habit
of washing the hands frequently
through the working day and the de-
velopment of a conscience about bring
ing hand or fingers to nose or mouth
would insure safety against any infec-
ton likely to occur through such con-
tact of hands. But I realized too late
that I had not given the man q faiI
answer, and hope he may notice this
item now. I should have directed his
attention to the real risk involved IN
his work, as well "a minimizing the sig
nificance Of the risk he asked about.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

December Ia, 1854-Citizens of Wash
ington and of the county outside of the
city, within the District of Columbia.
are very much gratified to learn today
that the House of Representatives has
set aside three days Of next week for
the consideration, of business relating
to- the District, and they indulge the
hope that these three days will be really
business days and not merely talking
days.
If they are devoted to business, 1t is
believed that much can be accomplished
to promote the interests OF TINS COM
munity.
In view from the windows of the
Senate chamber is a high ridge, Wnicn
is outside the city limits but mainly IN
side the District, and forms the oouno-
arv between the District and Maryland.
Along this ridge lives a numerous and
rapidly increasing population, believed
to be worthy of consideration from every
standpoint. But these residents OF the
District are destitute even OF the means
of educating their children and prepar-
ing them for the common duties OF our
republican institutions.
Congress has generously aided some
of the local colleges and asylums. Mu-
nicipal bounty has established and sup
ports schools within the city limits.
But, Notwithstanding urgent appeals to
Congress. which alone has the power to
apply a remedy, hundreds OF children
in the northern section of Washington
County. within the limits of the Dis
trict, are permitted to grow up IN lgno-
rance. They are actually within sight
of the Capitol, where. as one critic ex-
uressed it today, eloquent harangueS
are hourly poured forth on the impor-
tance of universal education and the
equality of the rights which our Gov
ernment guarantees to all.
Petitions from the inhabitants OF
Rock Greek Parish and other parts OF
the District outside the city limits are
now slumbering on the tables OF tne
District committees of the House anu
Senate. In these petitions the citizens
pray for aid to enable them to ouno
and maintain schools which VIII DC
omen and accessible to all. 1t Is pc
lieved that the members OF the con.
gressional committees on the DISTRICT
favor these measures, even though the
pressure of other business may nave
deferred them from reporting them OUT
for action.
The plan of setting aside three days
in the House next week for DistrlcI
business leads some optimistic persons
to believe that at least the Members OF
Congress intend to carry out here some
of the principles they shout about Sc
loudly in their speeches.

Contribute to Christmas Spirit
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

/ the great majority to add more than
their quota Of cheer and forbearance
Thus only can the right average be
struck, and 1t is both duty and pleasure
to contribute something to the days that
should lead like q radiant path to the
resplendent climax Of Christmas.
To SOW displeasure. display impa-
tient frowns, scatter reprimandS even
! when partially justified, is to Strew
thorns on the way which should be
graced with beauty. To move among the
Christmas crowds is often to be target
for elbows, but the point is to let
nothing elbow the inner serenity OF
spirit which no outward jostling can
reach, If one is determined to be forti-
fed against 1t.
That the pre- Christmas spirit may
not become mockery of the day which
is to follow, one must take certain meas
ures to preserve all the things which
make for calm and kindness. Certain II
is, that to remain unruffied on an empty
stomach is less easy task than on q
satisfied one. It is often neglect rather
than necessity which makes the Christ
mas shopper postpone her lunch until
an hour which is way of schedule. If
such a habit is likely to be INDUCED In,
there should be chocolate, crackers or
some nuts in the handbag which will
relieve the situation.
Petulant tones listened to are apt to
be contagious unless guarded against.
II there are signs of inpatience and
rancor on the part of those who are
serving, it may be the result Of a for
mer irate customer. How nice if the
next customer to follow one such could
have a pleasant rather than an un-
pleasant "hang over" from ones own
shopping transaction. At any rate, the
customer should not take as personal
the seeming irritation, but give the
salesperson the benefit of the doubt. It
may have been inspired from the same
side of the counter where one Is stand
ing, but by another person.

Dollar Sign of Education.

After spending five or six thousand
dollars on your child's education, what
will be the probable return on your
money, if any? That is a question a
mother may ask. In spite of the num-
Der of students that work their way
through college, many families support
children at colleges at sacrifice. Is
that sacrifice materially justified?
Between the graduation age and go a
recent survey showed that the differ
ence in the yearly income Of the aver
age college and high school graduate
amounts to So, 400. That is one way of
expressing the material value of coll
lege education.
If means are only available to send
child through high school, that child,
if he or she is average or above it,
should earn about $1,l00 a year more
than the graduate of an elementary
school, That Is another way OF point
ing the dollar sign to education,
Il was further learned that the stu.
dent who trains for some definite pro-
