tSODS OF LOVE AND JEALOUSY
Sometimes Associated, but Not by
Any Means Inseparable, as Gen
erally Supposed.
The prevalent idea appears to be
that there can be no love without a
pretty large admixture of jealousy,
-and that, conversely, almost every case
\ of jealousy springs from some mis
guided love affair. Whether this idea
is the right one or not is decidedly
open to question. Ideal love affairs
preclude jealousy altogether, and
^ where absolute trust and confidence
exist there is no room at all for the
green-eyed monster.
One curious attribute of the jealous
woman who plans to sweep her rivals
out of the way is that she generally
shows a marked lack of brains in her
methods. Jealousy not only blunts all
her finer feelings, but at the same time
it causes a curious confusion of mind,
which fails to take the proper grasp
of consequences and which is utterly
illogical and childishly reckless in its
workings.
One has only to glance at the daily
papers to see this fact practically illus
trated. The schemes of the jealous
woman are the most childishly imma
ture in the world, and in almost every
case fall to pieces and bring speedy
retribution on her own head. For not
alone does the victim suffer. The worst
generally comes upon the plotter her
self.
Love very often does bring a cer
tain amount of jealousy in its train.
But at the same time it is entirely up
to ourselves to curb those feelings and
to keep them from outward and visible
expression. Moreover, it is perfectly
true that, although love generally does
admit of jealousy, the latter can exist
and flourish pretty successfully with
out love.
Therefore in the last analysis we
may most assuredly claim that jeal
ousy and love are two distinct and
quite separable affairs.—Savannah

PIECES OF MAN REFITTEDT
Circus Acrobat, “Smashed to Bits,” Is
Being Scientifically Knitted
Together.
Like a vessel of fragile china, shat
tered to pieces and then carefully
patched together so that no eye can
distinguish the cracks, Miriana Cortez,
a Spanish circus performer, who was
crushed and fractured in a score of
places all over his body on April 10,
has been knitted together by the doc
tors of St. Luke’s Homeopathic hos
pital and is now almost well again.
Remarkable in the annals of surgery
has been this man's strange case, in
volving months of the most painstak
ing work and racking suffering on the
part of the patient. That he recov
ered at all from his frightful njuries
is remarkable; if he should regain all
his physical faculties, as the surgeon
say he will, it will be almost miracu
lous.
Cortez was an acrobat in the cir
cus. He performed his most thrill
ing acts on top of a long pole, which
was balanced on a support, attached
to a broad leather belt, worn by the
strong man of the group.
On the night of April 30, before a
large crowd, Cortez was performing
his act when his feet slipped. He
went crashing to the ground.
Both his legs were fractured, the
right leg in '.he thigh and thfe left
leg just above the ankle. His left col
larbone was also fractured and his
nose broken. His right arm was
jolted out of its socket, and his left
arm crushed under him. His head
was bumped in reveral places. Inter
nally several organs were thrown out
of place and four ribs were fractured.

GINGERBREAD OF OLD DAYS
Was a Luxury That Filled an "Achinj
Void” in the Down
East Boy.
What memories this reference to the
flve-cent ginger cake of commerce will
arouse in the minds of men approach
ing or past middle age who passed
their boyhood in the country! v
At all public gatherings where con
cessions were given for the serving of
refreshments it was the chief feature
in the order of the day down to a
period of much later than half a cen
tury ago. And then it seems to have
disappeared, suddenly and mysterious
ly, after the manner of the disappear
ance of the bootjack and the passen
ger pigeon, and like them probably
never to return.
Who among us whose hair has grown
thin atop or disappeared altogether
cannot recall the bill of fare of the
refreshment venders in those earlier
and simpler days at fairs, town meet
ings and Fourth of July celebrations!
The assortment was not elaborate, but|
it was filling and satisfying, and one
got a good deal for his money, says
the Biddeford (Me.) Daily Journal.
Most conspicuously displayed were
those ginger cakes, everywhere lo
cally known as “baker’s gingerbread,”
to distinguish it from homemade gin
gerbread, which lacked the delicate
color, the spicy fragrance, the work
manlike finish and pleasing regularity
of the imported article. Then there
were coffee served in big mugs; crack
ers and cheese, baked beans and
brown bread, not infrequently home
made doughnuts, and always raw oy
sters.
The gingerbread and the oysters
were the things that took with the
crowd; for only on such occasions
were these viands readily attainable.
What country boy has not watched
some older person order a saucer of
raw oysters, cover them with vinegar;
and cayenne pepper and then absorb
them as to the manner born, with-)
out admiring the grace and nonchab
ance with which the trick was dona
and wishing for the time to como
when he might venture to give such
an exhibition?
His consolation lay in a “sheet” of
that famous baker’s gingerbread, and
if he was particularly well fixed finan
cially, a piece of cheese to go with
it. Those were, indeed, happy days,
when a piece of gingerbread and a
hunk of cheese at a total expense of
six cents, would fill an aching void
which in these degenerate days is
hardly satisfied with a six-course din
ner.
It may be assumed that the men
who made that famous gingerbread
are not all dead. Here and there-i
throughout the country there must be
several survivors who retired for well
earned rest after long service in the
best interests of hungry humanity.
This being the case, ’t is barely pos
sible that the recipe for those ginger
cakes is not irretrievably lost.
A Suggestion.

your affection.”

well satisfied if you will return it.”

By sundown the summer boarder*
who lounged about on the piazza of
Onderdonk's farmhouse were already
heavy-eyed and apathetic.
People patronized the place to obtain
absolute rest and relaxation rather
than to Indulge In the strenuous sports
or amusements of the season.
The men—what few there were—
Idled and smoked and went fishing. The
women Idled, too, when they were not
minding their children or gossiping or
strolling through the sweet-smelling
woods in quest of pine needles for pros
pective sofa cushions.
It Is during such periods of release
from turmoil and responsibility that
the human consciousness, steeped in
sunshine and saturated with fresh air,
dreams and drowses and forgets Its
past.
Such inactivity has almost a benumb
ing influence; ambitions rest. Mem
ories are blotted out. One Is kin to the
birds and beasts content to eat and
sleep and drink the open air.
There was this stupor always in the
atmosphere of Onderdonk's at sundown.
Even the exquisite coloring of a glori
fied west awakened nothing more than
yawning comments, feeble, scattering
attempts at praise.
On an evening when the torpor was
so heavy that the boardsr failed even
of this effort, there came suddenly
from the old fashioned parlor the
sound of a foreign touch on the piano
keys. It was a firm, masterful touch,
and It thrilled each stupid listener wide
awake.
Other fingers had often essayed to
awaken music from the piano. Just at
dinner time there had been much bang
ing and strumming of popular melo
dies.
This was different—so vastly differ
ent that there was an Immediate move
toward the window to discover who
the player might be.
"Why, it's that strange man in the
gray suit—the one who came at noon!"
murmured a fat mother, whose two
chubby children strove to Intercept the
view.
"Who’d have thought him a musi
cian!" exclaimed one of the younger
women. “He looks a business man from
head to foot."
"Not if you observe him well," dis
agreed her companion, promptly. "No
tice his eyes and forehead. He has the
artistic temperament. Can’t you-”
She paused abruptly as the player’s
sweet yet powerful tenor voice arose in
song.
After that no one spoke again. They
were songs of the heart he sang.
The golden quality that gave magiQ
to his fingers through his voice and
shook his listeners to the heart’s core.
Alert, breathless, they heard him and
lived again. Apathy was a thing of
the past. They were not mere human
beings now. They were souls. They
could feel, could love. Old memories
came rushing back. Old longings
clamored. Life was a thing of restless
beauty, of radiance, of untold possibil
ities.
So absorbed, so entranced were the
listeners that they did not notice the
approach of figures up the path, and
were startled at a burst of merry
laughter and Jest.
“It’s Mr*. Wadsworth and her party,”
whispered the fat mother. “They are
Just getting home from that picnic.”
Glances of annoyance greeted the in
truders. Mrs. Wadsworth was not pop
ular with her own sex at Onderdonk's.
There was open disapproval of her
frivolous ways, her attractive dress,
her monopoly of the men. She seemed
out of place there.
And besides, as one of the prim bach
elor girls observed: "No one knew any
thing about her husband. Where was
he supposed to be? She never men
tioned him and he was not dead, pre
sumably.”
Clearly there was something uncer
tain about Mrs. Wadsworth’s domestic
affairs. So the women did not cultivate
her.
Just now, as she approached the piaz
za with her escort, she looked provok
ingly pretty and care free with the
faint rose of the west reflected In her
laughing face.
Noting the disturbance which their
arrival was creating and catching at
last the sound of music from within,
Mrs. Wadsworth’s party withdrew to
the far end of the piazza, hushing their
chatter to listen with the rest.
The opening chords of another song
were struck. Mrs. Wadsworth’s expres
changed suddenly. It was “The Ros
ary.”
Clear and sweet, yet tremulous a*
with tears, rose the beautiful tenor
voice:
me hours l ve spent with thee, dear
heart.
Are like a string of pearls to me-”
Mrs. Wadsworth arose unsteadily and
crossed to the window. Her face went
white as she looked. She put up her
hand and touched the fat mother’s
shoulder as If for support.
"I count them over, every one apart.
My rosary, my rosary.”
People were staring and commenting,
but Mrs. Wadsworth seemed not to care.
She stood, trembling, wide-eyed, with
parted lips and uneven breath.
"Oh memories that bless and burn-”
She moved suddenly from the win
dow. "I think I'll go in,” she faltered.
The screen door closed behind her.
Those outside saw her pause Just a mo
ment in the hallway, then enter the dim
parlor.
“I kiss each bead and try at last to
learn
To kiss the cross—sweetheart!—to
kiss-"
The voice broke abruptly. There was
a man’s startled exclamation and a
woman's sob.
The affair furnished splendid mate
rial for the gossips next morning.
“To think of their having been sep
arated two years and of their meeting
here in that unexpected way! Why,
It’s Just like a bit of fiction. Isn’t It?”
“It’s a wonder he would take her
back! I shouldn’t In his place,” said
the bachelor girl, severely.
“Well, you can’t tell,” murmured the
fat mother. "Perhaps he was as much
to blame as she. It's often the case,
you know. Anyway, they're certainly
happy now, and I think he was right to
forgive her.”
It Didn’t Work.

teacher told us today that “through na

Asserts—Means Strength
ening of German Empire.
Berlin, (via London). Aug. 28.—Ger
man newspapers, with a few exceptions,
comment exhaustively on the speeches
In the Reichstag of the Imperial Chan
cellor Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, at
taching particular Importance to his re
marks, concerning Poland. The gen
eral opinion set forth In the press Is
that the government contemplates an
nexation of Russian Poland, which
meets with almost universal approval.
Editorial comment, although dealing
frankly with this subject. Is restricted
to some extent by the prohibition of
the discussion of annexation—a pro
hibition promulgated by the chancellor
himself.
The Taegllche Rundschau says that
"Poland will be freed finally from the
Russian yoke and guaranteed a more
fortunate future.” The Poles, thte
newspaper says will be independent, or
nearly so."
The Taegllche Rundschau questions
whether an Independent Poland under
German sovereignty would not be a
menace to Germany and whether the
chancellor In bringing up the discus
sion of annexation has not retarded the
conclusion of peace by bringing home
to Russia realization that its richest
Industrial province may be lost.
The Nachrichten, of Dresden, draws
the conclusion from the chancellor’s
speech that the government does not
Intend to permit Poland again to be
Under Russian control.
The Tageblatt, of Lelpsic says: “The
world now knows how we became In
volved In this war and the chancellor
for the first time has lifted the veil
concealing the purpose of the war and
has Indicated distinctly and manfully
what Is to be the reward of the efforts
of ourselves and our allies—freedom of
the east to the west and the weakening
of Russia to the east."
The Nachrichten, of Lelpsic, ex
presses the belief that the military
achievements of Germany thus far are
not sufficient to warrant the chancel
lor’s utterances.
The Tageblatt. of Rerlln says:
"A certain goal Is clearly to be seen
In the chancellor's words. A new Eu
rope, a new order of things must re
sult, which will make Impossible any
encircling of Germany, any breaking of
her circuit in the future. The basis
therefor© Is In the chancellor’s opinion,
the extension and strengthening of the
German empire. In this purpose all Ger
mans will agree with him."

proven to be an Infinitely greater ca

New York. Aug. 23.—The body of
Mrs. Josephine L. Brugulere, one of the
two Americans lost with the Arabic
has been found, the White Star line
announced today. This was based on
a conversation. It was said, with Mrs. S
Marion Brugulere, the dead woman's
daughterinlnw, who was quoted as say
lng she had received a cable message
to that effect.
Maid’s Body Found.
Young Mrs. Brugulere also was
quoted by a representative of the line
as having said that the body of her
motherlnlaw's French maid. Margaret
Boudet, has been recovered, too. M.

sailed with Mrs. Brugulere. had here
tofore been listed among the survivors.
It was said that the cablegram re

London Aug. 23.—At least five pas
sengers, two of whom were Americans, 1
and 40 members of the crew lost their
lives when the White Star liner Arabic}
was torpedoed and sunk by a German .
submarine off Fastnet. Nine other
passengers arc missing and are believed
to have perished. S
The two Americans who went flown
with the ship were Mrs. Josephine ;
Brugulere. of New York, and Dr. Ed
mund T. Wood, of Janesville, Wls. Mrs.
Brugulere was thrown into the water
and kept afloat for some time by her
son Louis, who was forced to relinquish
his hold when he was struck by a piece
of wreckage. Nothing was seen oil
Wood after the steamer was struck.
Most of the missing membei-s of the 3
crew belonged to the engineer’s staff.
They remained at their posts and went
down with the ship.
Captain Finch and the other officers
of the Arabic assert that the submarine
gave them no warning. They declare
the torpedo was fired as they were go
ing to the rescue of the steamer Duns
ley which had just been torpedoed, pre- §
sumably by the same submarine.
That the loss of life was not mucl|
heavier was due to the preparations
made by the officers In view of the
possibility of an attack while passing
through the "war zone;” to the fine
weather which prevailed and to the
splendid discipline maintained by the
crew. Life belts had been placed on
the decks and the lifeboats swung out.
As soon as the ship was struck, rafts
were flung over the side. Many of the ;
passengers and crew who were thrown
Into the water climbed on board these
rafts or were dragged on to them by
persons already upon them.
The Americans who reached Queens
town were cared for by the United ,

Washington. Aug. 23.—The depart
ment of justice is in full accord with
the action of the United States district
attorney at San Francisco In bringing
about indictments of British and Ger
man consular officials, charged with
violating neutrality laws. j
It became known today that the at
torney general’s position is that there
la no immunity attaching to consular
officers of a foreign government; that
they are commercial, not diplomatic,
representatives, and are as liable as
any one else to punishment for viola- \
tions of the country’s laws, though their
prosecution rests in the discretion of
the government as a matter of policy.
Officials there were consulted when
seven men were taken several weeks
ago from New York to San Francisco,
to give evidence in the British neu
trality cases. General instructions were
given to lay before the federal grand
Jury any cases where it was clear neu- |
trality violations had been committed.
