I might say, in this connection, that Mr. Whitman is considered by all of tbe criminolo gists of the world to be tbe most humane—and yet the most practical— and the fartl.e.t advan'ed in the knowledge of the proper crre and handling of prisoners ef keepers of in- | -•itu’ions of h> time He is greatly beloved by all the gur -"s ar.d prison ers under fcis care. This, then, was the type of man that tor’ an interest j in Emile and did so much for him. Notwithstanding the dirty work and i tie soiled clothes, as d^y after day Emile pushed his wheelbarrow to and fro. Mr Whitman saw through the un ! repossessing exterior into the heart of the innocent, un' i.unate boy. He saw that Krnile as or of his cle ment and ordered him to his own f. >me.

He had spent the fifty cents Mr. Whitman gave him in cheap meals—merely ex isting from day to day. He had reached the point where he conclud ed that there was nothing left for him to do but go back to the Bridewell and ask his good friend, the superin tendent, to keep him, for he felt that no one wanted him anr that no op portunity of any kind awaited him. After hearing the boy’s story, Mr. Whitman called up the Parting of the Ways Home and asked me if 1 could not use a bright, neat, careful boy.

Chat With David Dudley Field; ■ ■ ■ ■■ ■ ..—. I Great Law Reformer’s Rules for Living Simply and Wisely and Reaching a Ripe and Happy Old Age. Probably the foremost law reformer pf modem times was David Dudley Field, brother of the Field of Atlantic cable fame and of Justice Stephen J. Field of the United States Supreme ?ourt For forty years of his long life—which began in 1S05 and ended eighty-nine years later—he devoted the greater part of his time to the re form of the law. Today his system of civil procedure is in force in most of the states of the Union and is the basis of the reformed procedure es tablished in England in 1S73. His in fluence in the law of today is as great is the influence of his brother Cyrus in the field of world communication. Mr. Field was in his seventy-ninth year and had just returned from Eng land, where he had been showered with distinguished honors by reason pf his work as a law reformer, when 1 had the pleasure of an informal chat with him. The name of his brother Cyrus came up. “One of the lessons 1 have learned in my long life." said the j great law reformer, “is that it re quires more ability to stick to a great thing than to plan iL This was the bind of ability Cyrus showed to best advantage in the case of the Atlantic cable. It was this sort of ability, and bis ability to keep around him a group of men into whom he instilled bis own confidence in the ultimate success of the cable, that really has brought him his fame. His work in promoting and perfecting the cable was of secondary importance; yet the public looks upon him largely as the promoter of the cable, paying no at tention to the greater side of his achievement." “Mr. Field.” I said, “the ability you i have just attributed to your brother may also very properly be affirmed ! pf yourself, for it is universally recog- j nized now that your codification of laws was a stupendous undertaking and that your persistence in the work ; bas been regarded by American law- ; yers as one of the most astonishing pf all professional achievements." Mr. Field smiled faintly. “What you have said reminds me of another les- ] son which I have learned.” he re plied. "and that is if you rejoice In your work, take pleasure in It so that it becomes really a mental recrea tion. then it is no longer work. That is the feeling I have had since I first contemplated my code, and it is a feeling that has helped to keep me in perfect health at my age.” Here was a man who was approach- J ing eighty and yet was as active, mentally and physically, as a man of forty. “Won’t you tell me the whole story ; of how you have been able to main tain your health so perfectly, despite the great burdens you have carried for so many years?” I asked. "In the first place.” was the reply, j “I think it is essential that if old I age and accompanying mental and physical vigor are to be attained there must have been an inheritance of a good constitution from parents : and from ancestors who have lived simply and wisely. And simply and wisely a man should live himself. For myself I believe that 1 have lived simply and wisely—I use the dumb bells a little every morning, just enough to set my blood in circulation after the night’s sleep; I am careful in the use of beverages, though I have never practiced total abstinence: 1 eat plentifully of plain food, and I have always found that there are numerous very attractive and appetiz ing dishes which come under that head. “I have also Kept my mind active, and now, as I look back on my life, 1 am convinced that constant mental and physical occupation are absolute ly essential if one wishes to live to old age and then to be in good men tal and physical condition. The idle life, my friend, is rarely the long life. In my own case I And my mental fac ulties are as acute today and as cap able of sustaining prolonged labor as they were forty years ago, when I was in the prime of life, as it is termed. “But. after all. the chief rule to be followed if one wants to live to a green old age and be a burden to no one, I can express in five words— ‘Always have a good conscience.’ If a man has that, he will not worry, and I believe it to he a true saying that worry has killed more men than strong drink. These are the rules which have made it possible for me to do a man's work at seventy-nine, and a man's work I confidently ex pect to do for a number of years to come.” Fcr another decade Mr. Field did a man’s work daily: and then he was gathered to his fathers.

Although the late E. L. Davenport HS16-77) was for nearly forty years regarded as one of the greatest of American actors, especially in trdgedy parts, and although he gained interna tional fame through his portrayal of | the character of Bill Sykes In a drama tization of Charles Dickens’ novel. “Oliver Twist.” yet he is now almost forgotten. His reputation was only second to that of Edwin Forrest and until the latter years of Edwin Booth's life upon the stage. E. L. Davenport was regarded by many competent critics as the superior of Booth, at least in certain parts. When old age Luck of a Theater Manager - *-j A. M. Palmer’s Story of Hew He Came to Produce “Alabama.” In Desperation to Bridge Over a Crisis. “No one who has not actually ex- I perienced all the trials and faced all of the emergencies which are the lot of a dramatic manager can begin to realize what a difficult work his is.” once said to me the late A. M. Pal mer, who for many years was one of the most successful dramatic man agers of the United States. Under his management such great plays as "The Banker’s Daughter," “The Two Orphans." "Diplomacy," Bartley Campbell's "My Partner.” and. later, the first successful dramatization of DuMaurier’s novel. “Trilby.” were produced. “I suppose.” continued Mr. Palmer, “that if I have had better luck in dealing with actors and actresses and in meeting and mastering sudden emergencies than some other dra matic managers, it has been due to the fact that I began my career in life as a politician, for I was actively associated for some years with the Republican party organization of New York county, an association, in fact, which resulted in my partnership ar rangement with Sheridan Shook, who was also a very active politician. A politician, you know, must know how to handle both people and emergen cies. “Shook and 1 had some very close calls at the time we were managing the Union Square* Theater at New York. We were at our wits' ends several times because actors upon whom we relied had disappointed us. or because some of them felt that we had not cast them for parts which were worthy of their abilities. “But I think the narrowest squeak I ever had was after Mr. Shook and I had dissolved partnership and when I was the sole manager of a theater in the vicinity of Madison Square. New York. “1 had decided to put on a play at this theater, and. in fact, had partial ly cast the parts when, of a sudden, the author withdrew the play. For tunately I had not announced the play. But what was I to do, never- j theless? I had at hand no play which had been tried and found satisfactory. I had, however, in my drawer several , manuscripts of plays, not one of! which had been examined. In my desperation I took these manuscripts . for reading to my home in Stamford. ; Conn., upon the bare chance that I might find one of them good enough to serv^ as a stop gap until I could get my bearings again. "There was only one among them which deserved a second and more careful reading. I did not know the author, except in a most casual way. He had no reputation as a play wright. I had been told that he bad done some literary work somewhere in the west. I knew, therefore, that the name of the author would serve in no way to advertise the play. And yet this was the only possible chance I had of keeping the theater going until I could make ready a play which I knew would at least pay for its production. Therefore. I decided to put this play on and it went fairly well at rehearsals, but every experi enced manager ’«iows that rehearsals are no criterion of the success of a play. "I went to the theater on the night of the first production, prepared to announce at the close of the last act that the play had been withdrawn. But. to my astonishment, at the end of the first act I saw tha, the audi ence was disposed to be pleased with the play. At the end o' the second act I felt certain that the play would be good for a week or more: and when the curtain came down upon the last act, I said jubilantly to my self. *A1 Palmer, you went It blind, and fortune has favored you.' The' play proved to bj a great hit. It was called 'Alabama,' and it ran the sea son out. And yet but for that great emergency and embarrassment in all probability the play and the author would never have beet, heard of.” (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All j Rights Reserved.) came upon Davenport he sometimes said to his friends that if there were any memories or memorials of his ca reer as an actor, those would be pre served through the artistic triumphs of his daughter, Fanny Davenport, and it might also be recalled that he was one of those who took part in a tribute of acknowledgment to the great service that had been done them by a teacher. John E. Lovell. "I was once playing a portion of my repertoire at New Haven.” Mr. Dav enport said, explaining the part he took in the memorial to Lovell, “when I was told that my old teacher was in great poverty. It had been my habit a few years earlier, when upon professional visits to New Haven, to call upon Mr. Lovell, but for some years my visits to New Haven were rare and of short duration, so that I had not been able to see him. But as soon as I heard that he was in pe cuniary distress. I searched him out. and I found that the story had not been exaggerated. But the little man. for he was of very diminutive stature, would not complain. He insisted upon talking about my professional career, of which he had been very proud. “At last I told him that if he were as proud of my career as he said he was he was justified in that, for I owed very much of my success to him. “I said that he had taught me how to use my voice, and tint he had first impressed upon me the fact that the speaking voice is as admir able an organ as is the singing voice. I recalled how many times he had told his scholars that it was a sin to neg lect the voice—how he had frequently said to us that it was more important to speak distinctly and in tones that were free from a nasal twang, then called a Yankee characteristic, than it was to speak with grammatical cor rectness. even. “These were the Instructions which I received from my old teacher to which I owed much of my success as an actor, for whatever other criticism may have been made upon my acting I had never heard any bttt words of commendation for my enunciation and the manner in which I used my voice So I told Mr. Lovell that I was going to try to repay him for what he had done for me. And I went out and found some of my old schoolmates and we began a plan for a subscription sufficient to buy or build a home foi Mr. Lovell, having in mind also a fund from which he could receive aD Income sufficient to care for him. “Many and hearty were the re sponses to this appeal. The money was raised, a house and plot of ground in the suburbs of New Haven not far from East Rock were bought, and the little school teacher received it as a tribute from the men who, even in their schooldays, had learned to re spect him greatly and afterwards to look back upon their experiences at his school with affectionate recollec tion. “As for my part in this testimonial it was simply a repayment of some portion of the debt which I owed to John E. Lovell.” (Copyright. 1911, by E. J. Edwards. At Rights Reserved.) Aerial Law. England has succeeded Germany among European lands in legislation on aerial navigation. Germany pro hibits any aeroplane from running on any pretext over a city, town or village and the police closely supervise flights over open country. The English parliament had first be fore it a bill Imposing heavy penalties on anyone who navigated any air craft • recklessly, negligently or in a manner which Is dangerous to the public.” Dis cussion showed that this regulation was not enough. The penalty, how ever heavy, would come only after an aeroplane had dropped on a roof or in the stifeeL Besides penalties for the misuse of air craft, the English act as passed re cently gives the home secretary the power to prohibit flights over any given area for any time specified.

Radium in Mineral Water Scientist Has Theory That Emana tions Have Something to Do With Benefits. It is now generally believed that a part, at any rate, of the benefit de rived from a course of mineral waters is due to the radium emanations in the same. And this explains why such a course is less beneficial if taken at home, for, in bottling, such waters lose their radium emanations. In an article in Die Umschau, of which an abstract appears in the Scientific American. Dr. Bickel sbows how the advantages of the mineral courses due to radium can be obtained at home. He finds that water impreg nated with radium emanations may be taken with good result*. The effects last longer if taken after a full meal. It may also be inhaled in an “emana torium." But to prevent loss of the emanations such an apartment cannot be properly ventilated. To obviate this difficulty Dr. Bickel has invented an apparatus for inhaling them directly from a solution in wa ter. Into a large bottle the solution of radium emanations is allowed to fall drop by drop as required from a smaller one. From the former the emanations are inhaled by the patient Artist With Horse Sense. Friend—What on earth are you do ing to that picture?
