MAN MAKES HIMSELF YOUNG

Extraordinary Success Claimed for
Sir Jame* Grant's Method—Vi
tality Amazes.
London.-- Bir James clrant. the well
Vaosn Canadian physician. a recipi
ent of many foreign honors, believes
that be has discovered, not exactly
the elixir of life, but at any rate a
means of greatly prolonging youth
kok to some extent.
Sir James is himself the best adver
tisement of bis method, for be pos
sesaea amazing vitality for bis age.
»<»• nearly seventy-seven years He
Is risking London, and be looks like
a man is bis fifties. His secretary,
a young man. says it is difficult to
keep aj> with the work bis employer
i does.
,
T»o years ago Sir James created
a sensation at a meeting of the Brit
ish association by a paper on tbe ex
traordinary rejuvenating powers of
ejectric<‘y. He has since then treat
'd hite.i-e’f by bis own method, with

A writer In the Pall Mall Gazette
says he walked with Sir James a dis

help commenting on his vigor and
energy. He asked Sir James if he
wore spectacles, and Sir James re
plied:
“Yes. i do wear rpectacles. I have

such such time as I began to treat

WHALES ESCORT A STEAMER
Big Cetaceans Accompany Vessel for
Four Hours and Give Exhibi
tion of Spouting.
Seattle, Wash.—On her way here
from San Francisco, the steamer Pres
ident was escorted for four hours by a
school of whales, some of which swam
{alongside the vessel. The President’s
I assengers declared that the sight of
the whales was well worth the entire
trip.
The monsters were first sighted sev
eral miles off the port bow as the ves
sel steamed northward. From the
1 promenade decks the school resem
bled a cluster of geysers.
Veering suddenly, the school drop
; ped astern and disappeared from view.
AMERICAN COUNTESS HONORED
Tib fr
Counted or .STXiji**Faja^>
LONDON*—The countess of Strafford, who is one of the most popular of
the American women that have married titled Englishmen, was honored
the otter day by an unexpected visit from the dowager Queen Alexandra,
the first she has paid since the death of King Edward. Lady Strafford and
her husband. Mr. Kennard. have taken Houghton Hall. Norfolk, from Mar
QU’s Choimondley and Lady Strafford was engaged in gardening and dressed
in old clothes when the queen mother's motor came up the drive. The coun
tess attempted to run in doors and change her attire, but Alexandra insisted
that she continue her work in the garden.
m-“rs wait d so tense that the distinc
tion between meum and tuum was
frequently lost to Tiew and the boy
whose beans matured early was like
ly to find himself minus the beans.
Even the observation plots in charge
cf the instructors were robbed of their
prire products. But to the credit of
the farm be St said that while the de
struction walked around them the
blind boys' crops were left undis
turbed.
This harvesting was followed by
the s cond planting. In this Peter
_rd Carl showed such marked im
provement that Mrs. Parsons believes
that gardening ia some of its branches
can be made an employment for the
blind. The sowing of beets and car
rots by the blind boys was the best
done on the farm.
In a few weeks Peter and Carl have
learned to distinguish the different
seeds entirely by feeling. Peter has
a feat which heats -hat of *he girl in
Grimm's fairy stories who had to inch
lentils out of the ashes. That girl had
beautiful blue eyes, and even at that
she had to call on her fairy godmother
to help her out. But Peter, who is
! totally blind, can take lettuce and
carrot seeds mixed together and sep
ar&te them correctly, though they are
enough alike to deceive many persons
! whe have their sight.
Peter's latest accomplishment is tc
I distinguish bright colored flower pet
als one from the other apparently by
some subtle difference in the texture
of the blossom. That doesn't mean
! that be could tell whether it's a pale
| pink or a light blue aster or recog
nlze any fine gradation of tint, bat he
knows a rel petal from a yellow one
Altogether the instructors are muct
; pleased with the summer's experiment
and are as eager as the boys to con
i tinue it next year.
BOYS SCHOOL LIFE
- *
That in Boarding Institution Not
Natural, Says Bishop.
Not Only Do Children Suffer, but Par
ents Also, Who Lose Most Sacred
of Parental Duties—One
Who Disagrees.
London—A striking appeal to the
upper and middle classes not to send
their boys to the “barrack life” of the
boarding school, and so remove them
from the home influence, is made by
the bishop of Hereford.
The bishop was a speaker at the
public morals conference, which was
held at the Carton hall. Westminster.
The object of the conference has
been described as “a very earnest at
tempt to convert Mrs. Grundy”—to ef
fect reforms in the moral education of
boys and girls.
Speaking on "Education for Parent
hood.” the bishop said the English
people of the upper and middle classes
had drifted far too much Into an al
most exclusive preference for board
ing school education.
“Boarding-school life Is not a natu
ral life for the young." he declared.
“It is not only the children who suf
fer from being sent into barrack life,
but the parents also suffer because
they lose the most sacred responsibili
ties of parental duties.
“My experience as head master of
Clifton college—which is both a day
school and a boarding school—leads
roe to the conclusion that the best
form of school education for boys of
the upper and middle classes is that
in v ;,ich the boy is able to live under
the influence of a good home life.
“At the same time a boy can enjoy
all that is best in a well organized
boarding school."
A schoolmaster of several years' ex
perience gave several reasons why he
did not agree with the biscop of Here
ford's opinion.
“Take the case of. say. little Tom
my Jones, who is a day boy at a sec
ondary school.’’ he said. “He is hit
by another boy and goes home crying
to his mother, who consoles him and
dries his tears.
“Tommy is comforted and weakened
at the same time. If Tommy was a
boarder, and had no mother to fly to,
he would soon learn he must stand up
for himself and become self-reliant
and brave.
“Either by hitting back at his ag
gressor or showing him that he was a
good fellow and didn't mind chaff.
Tommy becomes happy and self-con
fident.”
Speaking at the conference on the
merits, of the elementary school. Dr.
Macnamara said he could confidently
say that it had worked nothing short
of a social revolution.
It was not only in the Improvement
of the children themselves but he was
not sure that the school had not re
acted even more upon the parents
than upon the children.
Even the poorest and most hard
worked woman in the back street had
made a struggle day In. day out to see
that her Eliza should have as clean a
pinafore as the rest of them.
Amid laughter. Dr. Macnamara add
ed that he could guarantee to say that
many a man had held on a steadier
course because of Tommy's little
framed certificate upon the mantel
piece.
Dr. James Cantie. honorable secre
tarv of the Royal Institute of Public
Health, gave some useful hints on chil
dren’s clothing.
He deprecated the use of babies
“comforters” and unsuitable clothing
for children, especially "Eton jackets"
for growing boys.

No Mistake After All
By GERALD PRIME
Copyright. x«xo» by Associated Literary Kress
Three months after she had prom
ised to marry Dick Hathaway, Molly
Abernathy was convinced that she
had made a mistake. In a little less
than that time it was made clear to
Dick Hathaway that it would be
criminal on his part to marry Molly
Abernathy.
And that was not at all because
Molly had become less attractive or
Dick less than the perfect upright
fellow he always had been. After an
almost uninterrupted companionship
of considerably longer than the pe
riod of their engagement, each was
as willing as ever to bear testimony
to the superlatively good qualities of
the other and would have been high
ly indignant over any suggestion to
the contrary. Moily still regarded
Dick as "the dearest fellow In the
w-orld." and Dick had no desire to re
call his estimate of Molly as “the
sweetest girl on the footstool.” Noth
ing whatever had occurred to con
vict either of these thoroughly con
scientious young persons of incon
stancy. but—
The "but” In the case of Molly Ab
ernathy was a young man of sin
gularly unattractive personal equip
ment and a name that offered no
recompense for his lack of good looks.
As a life burden H. Earlington Hop
per was serious enough, but it would
have been crashed with the initial
H expanded to its full. Hooker.
Clearly there was no fault to be found
with the victim of such a baptismal
combination because he had contract
ed into decent euphoniousness.
In point of fact, there was no fault
to be found with H. Earlington Hop
per cn any account. He was as right
minded a young man as ever hung out
“I Will Walk Home With You-”
his shingle as a lawyer, and he had
scarcely captured his first client be
fore practlcaly all of the very nice
girls in town were interested in him.
The spe'J with which he became a
social favorite in Eureka was phe
nomenal. He was so genial, so alive
to the expectations of others, so un
failing in his efforts to establish a
frank understanding with everybody,
that he won recognition immediately
as an A Xo. 1 fellow among the men
and—the women.
Ignoring his plainness of face and
awkwardness of figure and movement,
the Eureka 5oung women of all
ages had become greatly interested
in the sayings and, even more espe
cially, in the doings of H. Earlington
Hopper. And that, of course, in
cluded Molly Abernathy, who for
some reason unrevealed to her was
led by this interest to doubt the co
operation of heaven In her choice of
Dick as a life companion.
By a most amazing coincidence
there was also a "but" in the case of
Dick Hathaway. A certain young
woman named Helen Ware had come
to town to visit her uncle, the rector
of St. Jarlath s. Before she had been
at the rectory a fortnight all the
;oung men in the parish, and a host
of those who were outside of it. woke
up to the fact that she was an un
usually attractive young person, and
Dick was one of the young men of
the parish. He did not precisely un
derstand how it was. but whenever he
stood in the presence of Helen Ware
he found himself wishing—well—he
found himself wishing.
Both Dick and Molly were mem
fcers of the mixed choir at St. Jar
lath's. Dick sang tenor when he did
not forget and relapse into baritone,
and Molly was possessed of an ex
cellent contralto voice, but she was
an indifferent reader. That was why
It was necessary for H. Earlingon
Hopper. who had been made choir
master on account of his musical
ability, to coach Molly privately
whenever an alto solo was to be
sung.. Hopper believed that he had
discovered great possibilities in Mol
ly's voice, and after awhile alto
solos were frequent at St. Jarlath's.
About that time the organist suc
cumbed to the infirmities of old age.
and Miss Ware consented to substi
tute temporarily. She did not pro
fess to be mistress of the noble in
strument. but she a*red that if som®
one would come to her assistance—
sit bes'de her on the bench at re
hearsals. pull stoos and turn music—
she would do her very best. Every
man in the cnoir volunteered in the
same breath, it actually frightened
Molly Abernathy to discover how
little it disturbed her to have Dick
named as the preferred one.
For more than two years Dick had
walked home with Molly after choir
practice, but the time came when
neither of them felt aggrieved over
the willingness of the other to aban
don the habit. The interruption
came about so naturally. Miss Ware
was responsible for the deed. One
evening after an unusual tug at a
refractory anthem, which persisted in
going wrong after every effort had
been made to induce It to do others
wise, the organist requested the tenor
to remain for a few minutes after re
hearsal in order to perfect himself ir
his part.
Instead of waiting until Dick should
prove himself either the Tictor or van
Quished. Molly was possessed of a sud
den whim to start off alone, only to be
intercepted at the door of the parish
houseby the choirmaster who had re
turned in search of a paper be had
mislaid.
*'If you will give me one minute.
Miss Abernathy," he said. "1 will walk
home with you—provided, of course,
you will permit me."
Without pausing to receive her con
sent. he disappeared into the building.
I reappearing in rather less than the
specified lime with the recovered pa
, per.
“I notified Hathaway of my Inten
tion," he laughed as they moved off.
"It wasn't at all necessary." she re
dared emphatically.
"He didn't hear me. T couldn't at
tract his attention."
"Was he sieging?'* She knew he
wasn't, but she wanted to hear the
answer.
"He hadn't begun. He was seated
on the bench, his back toward me. and
Miss Ware w as talking earnestly—giv
ing instruction, probably."
"Probably.” she said, with an air of
indifference that seemed genuine to
him. lawyer though he was.
After Dick had swung over the baf
Sing two measures or so at least a
dozen times and had at last attained
perfection Miss Ware dismissed him
with a paning injunction not to forget
that he was a tenor.
“And I hope I haven't offended Miss
Abernathy by depriving her of yout
company—or you. either." she added
without looking at him.
“No need to worry on my account."
Dick assured her. “As for Miss Aber
nathy-"
"1 suppose Mr. Hopper availed him
self of the opportunity to see her
home saiely. He seems to be greatly
taken with—with her voice." she said
"Wouldn't it be jolly if those two—~
Dick began and then hesitated.
“No—it wouldn’t!" she returned sc
promptly and so decidedly that he
wondered at it. Before he could ask
her why not she had bidden him a
hasty good-night and passed within.
Next evening when Dick put in his
customary appearance at the Aber
nathy house he was told by the maid
who admitted him that Molly had
gone over to the rectory. He was
both ashamed and relieved—humili
ated by his treachery toward the girl
who had promised him what he asked
and relieved to find that the dreaded
confession might still be postponed.
It so happened that D:ck was spared
the pain of that confession. An affair
that came to a culmination on the
very nest night—an episode that
stirred the social fabric of Eureka to
its foundation—brought Dick and
Molly together again, thlt time secure
in the belief that their only mistake
had been to doubt, even for a sing'e
moment, the gentleness of their at- i
tachment.
This final state of affairs was made
possible by the elopement and mar
riage of H. Earlington Hopper and
Helen Ware. They had been lovers 1
long before coming to Eureka, but the
young woman's friends had not taker,
kindly to the man of her choice. She
however, knew her own mind and was
convinced that she was making nc
mistake.
