Columbian Bifocal Co Temple Court DenverCo A KLMBLE HEROINE atollier Mnry Teresa and Hie Ci okm ot tlie LcKlcin of Honor Some yearns ago In a city in France all the soldiers were drawn up ou tho plaza A woman In the habit of char ity was called out In front of the gov ernor general and tills Is what he said Mother Mary Teresa when you were twenty years of age you received a wound from a cannon ball while as sisting one of the wounded on the field at Balaklava In ISM the shell from a mitrailleuse laid you prostrate In the front ranks on tho battlefield of Magenta Since then you have been lu Syria in China and In Mexico and if you were not wounded it was not bo cause you have not exposed yourself In 1870 you were taken up In Iteis choffen covered with many saber wounds Such deeds of heroism you crowned a few weeks ago with one of the most heroic actions which history records A grenade fell upon the am bulance which was under your charge You took up the grenade In your arms you smiled upon the wounded who looked at you with feelings of dismay you carried it a distance of eighty me ters On laying it down you noticed that it was going to burst You threw yourself on the ground it burst You were seen covered with blood but when persons came to your assistance you rose up smiling as is your wont You were scarcely recovered from your wound when you returned to the hos pital whence I have now summoned you Then the general made her kneel down and drawing his sword touched her lightly with it three times on the shoulder and pinned the cross of the Legion of Honor on her habit saying I put upon you the cross of the brave In the name of the French people and army No one has gained it by more deeds of heroism nor by a life so completely spent in self abnegation for the benefit of your brothers and the service of your country Soldiers pre sent arms The troops saluted the drums and bugles rang out the air was filled with loud acclamations and all was jubila tion and excitement as Mother Teresa arose her face suffused with blushes and allied General are you done Yes said he Then I will go back to the hospital From The Companionship of Books by Frederic Rowland Marvin POINTED PARAGRAPHS There is no such thing as a secret A reasonable probability is the only certainty Men who have violated the law say it is not hard to do Romance is like fire if you play with it you are liable to be burned There is too little attention given to two mighty Important words Dont tell It is a bad plan to seek to make a good impression by following every statement wjth an apology The trouble is when we do things for our friends we do things we want to instead of what they would be pleas ed to have us do We cant understand why people try to deceive others but cannot under stand why they should try to deceive themselves as so many seem to do Atchison Globe When Musicians Were Scarce In these days of conservatories and music schools when each house has itS piano or its organ to say nothing of devotees to the cornet violin and ban jo it seems strange to assert that there ever was a time when musicians were in demand yet such was really the case In the fifteenth century says Mr Henry M Brooks in his Old en Time Music musicians were so scarce In England that they were im pressed by government order as in more recent times seamen had to suf fer in like manner Henry YIII also Issued warrants for the impressment of children with good voices for the choirs of the cathedrals and in Eliza beths time children with the proper qualification for her majestys choirs were taken from their parents without any compensation being given to the latter WeiKlilnpr Common Air The weight of air has often been test ed by compressing it in receptacles by the air pump That it really has weight when so compressed is shown by the fact that the weight of the vessels is increased slightly by filling them with compressed air and that such vessels become specifically lighter as soon as the air contained in them te ex hausted Many elaborate cu1 ts on the weight of air have pro that one cubic foot weighs 53G gnu or something less than one and a quijr ounces The above experiment on the weight of air is supposed to be made at the surface of the earth with tho temperature at 50 degrees F Heated air or air at high elevations is much lighter Lunar Athletics The man in the moon must surely regard with amused contempt our much vaunted athletic records A good terrestrial athlete could cover about 120 feet on the moon In a running broad jump while leaping over the barn would be a very commonplace feat He would find no difficulty In carrying six times as much and run ning six times as fast as he could on earth all because the moon attracts bodies with but one sixth of the force of the earth Table Dnlntlnens I could better eat with one who did not respect the laws than with a sloven and unpresentable person Moral qual ities rule the world but at short dis tances the senses are despotic Emer son aig4jj vtnimm In the Limelight Publicity VICK PRESIDENT C W FAIRBANKS T of HE vice presi dent of the United States Charles W Fair banks is noted for his dignity nnd stateliness and for his Immaculate at tire and It Is popu larly supposed that his reserve makes him somewhat un approachable but an Incident that occur red a few weeks ago at the White House is cited as proof that the contrary Is really true Mr Fair banks entered the executive mansion wearing Instead of the conventional silk a light gray soft hat of the sort pictured In spring clothing advertise ments Certain reporters on duty at the White House were alert to perceive this incongruity of headgear and frock coat and with a boldness to which thp ties of personal friendship entitle them cheerfully twitted the reserved vice president on the taste he had shown inquiring where he had got that hat Mr Fairbanks made due and proper retort In the same light spirit and passed on Into the presidents inner office The curious thing is that no one noticed anything unusual In the Incident until a solemn person com mented to his neighbor The republic still endures We remain a democ racy pure ana undented and pluto cratic sway is Indefinitely postponed So long as the second highest officer In our government can be joshed In the White House about the sort of a hat he wears by a bunch of kid reporters the country Is safe and the dictum of the Declaration of Independence that all men In this country are free and equal has the force of the living law Representative William Sulzer of New York who is often called Henry Clay Sulzer because he looks like the picture of the famous orator is one of the story tellers of congress After all said Representative Lorimer of Chicago arguing earnestly from the beef pack ers viewpoint the attitude of the packers so far as this new inspection law is concerned is a rational one They are not try ing to get any mod ifications they do not think due them They are Yes broke In Representative Sul zer the attitude of the packers re minds me of the small boy who went to the drug store to get 5 cents worth of salts He watched the druggist anxiously as that functionary was pouring the salts into the scales and then said Say boss dont gimme any more than you have to Its me thats got to take em Senator William B Allison whose Illness has caused considerable anx iety to his friends is the dean of the senate having served thirty three years In that body Owing to his extreme conservatism about committing him self he has often been called Pussy SEVATOIt W ALLISON Foot Senator In galls gave him the sobriquet because he alleged that Allison could walk 3000 miles wearing hob nailed boots on the keys of a piano without so much as making a sound Senator Allison does not like newspaper Interviews Well senator tell me wnat you and tlie president talked about said a cor respondent to the senator as he was leaving the White House one day Oh I just called to pay my re spects Even that Is good for a column and a half said the correspondent Ive known you to make more out of less Senator Allison answered J W Foley whose Songs of School Days

his pupils the virtue of perseverance made use of me as an example and dwelt upon the fact that I had sent over 100 verses to one pub lication before getting one accepted Gee exclaimed one of the youngsters he must have put out some pretty punk ones Colonel Butler Ames who represents the Fifth Massachusetts district in congress is the author of the proposed model Insurance law now under con sideration In the house of representa tives and lu respect to which Presi dent Roosevelt recently sent to the lawmakers a special message The plan of the bill Is to compel all In surance companies doing business in the District of Co lumbia to comply with Its provisions and thereby set up a standard for the Insurance business In general to which all companies must measure up if they butler ames expect to enjoy the confidence of the public Colonel Ames Is a grandson of Gen eral Benjamin F Butler and a son of General Adelbert Ames and he thus unites in his person two families known In military annals General Butler hoped to see the family tradi tions as to military achievement sus tained in the career of his son Ben Israel but the death of the latter pre vented such hopes from being realized When his only daughter married Gen eral Ames and a son was born to them In 1871 the infant was given General Butlers surname as his Christian name in the hope that he would adopt the military profession The boy was educated at West Point and entered the army but resigned to take a course in engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology He was for a time an electrical engineer but at paign in Torto Rico under General Miles where he rose to be lieutenant colonel of his regiment and was civil administrator of Areciho district Representative William Lorimer of Chicago who Is a

and his dis ciples This Manuscript Call was sent me by a favorite uncle Dr James H Ecob with the words You must write this scrawled across Oh but that Is quite out of the question I declared as I glanced at the little pamphlet I could not write it nuj way and besides I havent the time and cast the paper aside with out further consideration I suppose however that my subconsciousness must have gone Immediately to work for a thought of it would recur to me from time to time when suddenly one morning at 4 oclock I awoke with the clearly conceived plot of Titus In my mind I had begun with the thief ou the cross and worked backward to the beginning of the story Where It all came from is perhaps more of a mys tery to me than to another The fol lowing Monday I began and In exaetly eight weeks
