An Englishman gives his impres

are hardened to that sort of thing ,
for they cannot even cross the Eng

Calais was a British possession for cen

Qulntin Hogg , the founder of one
of the largest trade-schools for young
men and women in the world , who
died recently , said in discussing college
athletics when on a visit to Chiago
in 1901 , "Pile up at my left hand all
the broken coUar-bones , fractured
limbs and sprained wrists that have
resulted , from football scrimmages ,
and at my right let me put all the
bodily wr ckav and physical degener
ates that ow their weakness to noth
ing else than lack of proper exercise ,
and I'll tell yon that your pile of football -
, ball Injuries will look like a mole
hill and my gronp of weaklings will
be the mountain. " He knew that the
jmen who have done the work of the
world have , with few exceptions , had
strong , vigorous bodies , made so or
kept so by exercise of the right kind.
"Some men are born great , " said an
envious son of tbj Bast , "others are m
born in Ohio. " At a recent reception
'of..the Ohio Society of New York to
the Secretary of State , Mr. Hay , al
though he claimed residence in Ohio ,
declared that he had suffered all his
life under the handicap of not having CC
, been born there. "When it cornea to
' pull and prestige , " he is a man without
a State. In his own words : "I was 1
born in Indiana , I grew up in Illinois ,
I was educated in Rhode Island. H
learned my law in Springfield , my pol-
itlcs in Washington , my diplomacy in
, Europe , Asia and Africa. I have a
1 farm in New Hampshire , and desk-
room in the District of Columbia. The
first ancestors of whom I ever heard
were a Scotchman who was half-Eng
lish and a German woman who wad
half-French. My mother was from1
New England , and my father from the'
South. In this bewilderment of origin
I
and experience , I can only put on !
an aspect of humility in any gath
ering of favorite sons , and confess T
am nothing but an American ! "
It will be a dull world if the tlma
ever comes when women are too busy !
to be pleasant. "Is your wife enter
taining this winter ? " said one man to
another. "Not very ! " replied his witty
if disconsolate friend. Under the bril
liant repartee lies a melancholy confes-j
sion. Unhappy the busy man whoso
wife is not "entertaining" this winter
and all the winters ! The empty-head
ed woman is certainly a trial. Slid
grows less common every year. Bui ;
her place is too often taken by the wci
man with head and heart filled to over ]
flowing with the problems of modern ]
life , and she may not be much more
skillful than her silly sister in dealing
'with ' the every-day needs of husband
and children. A tired doctor , coming
home from fourteen hours of tussla
with a typhoid-fever epidemic , cannot
be refreshed by conversation on civi-J
reform or on the enrichment o th }
high-school course , or even on theJatJi
est German theory of the Homeric au-l
thorship. If he is not heartened wiseljj
for his next day's work he is too likely ,
to become himself a victim of the di
ease , and he may well have as his ep'
tnph at the hands of his inconsiderata
wife , "At rest till we meet again1' !
Intellectual grasp and moral enthusi
asm are glorious possessions for any
woman. But there are others not to ba
despised by her , and one of the chief
of them is the power of being amus
ing.
The case of the man Knapp , recentl3
arrested for murder , is one for tha
study of criminologists as well as of
psychologists. He has confessed to
having murdered five women and gir.'s ,
each crime having been accompanied
by shocking cruelty , and he may be
guilty of others not confessed. Of
course the man Is a monster , a degen
erate of the worst type , but the ques
tion Is , what made him so ? Was it
heredity or environment ? Was he born
with an irresistible tendency to crime
or was it first implanted and then nur.
tured In him by environments ? Is ha
himself wholly responsible for his
shocking degeneracy or are his ances
tors and society responsible for it in
any degree ? Could he have become a
decent man under any circumstances
or was he predestined to a life of horri
ble crimes ? No amount of speculation
can solve the mystery. We know that
heredity and environment are the mus
ter influences of the organic and ani
mal world. They have made all of ua
what we are and are still ceaselessly
playing upon all our lives , but whicl }
one exerts the dominating influenci
none can tell. The crimir.olog/'st will
not lind any tiling In this rase to sup.
port the theory that punishment pre
vents crime or reforms criminals.
Knapp had served time in four peni.
tentiaries , terms of considerable length ,
and yet in each instance he returned
to crime as soon as he was released.
No doubt some criminals are improve 0
by punishment and a few are reformed ,
but the germ of reformation was in
them at the beginning. Mtst confirm.
ed criminals are beyond the power of
reformation. This man never should
have been liberated after his first crime ,
Releasing him from prison was simply .
turning loose upon society a nionstti
to commit the most horrible crimes. If
society could have known the true sit
uation it would have been justified in
imprisoning him for life. His punish.
ment in every instance was a farce ,
He was tried , convicted and sentenced
with all the solemn dignity of the law
but It was time and money throwi
away except that during the period o
his imprisonment he could not pre ;
upon society. The whole scheme <
a
punishment in this man's case was . - ,
dismal failure , and the question recurs 1
may it not be so in many cases ? ScJ
ciety does not seem to have got at thf
root of the matter.

FROM A "PROBLEM" NOVEL.
Scene in the Conservatory Torn Be
twixt Love and Duty.
A step Tvas heard upon the onyx floor
Df the palace.
"Sh-h ! me hoosban' ees comeeng ! "
tvhispered lovely Lady Sorrentinia de
Lake View , struggling -weakly in the
fiery arms of Lord Clairmount de Mon-
leiville.
"I love you ! I love you ! " burnlngly
hissed Clairmount , the heir to Oakdale
bullions , according to the Pittsburg Dis
patch. ' *
Plis curly hair waved about his fair
head like a shimmering halo wrought
of silken starbeams.
The woman stood , trembling , beauti
fully , like a frightened doe at the edge1
of the forest.
"Ting-tank , ting-tank , ting-tank ! " re-
moiselessly purled the little clock in
the coaservatorj" the timepiece of the
flDwerets.
"Ah , Cleermint , Gleennint ! " came the
rich i French -whisper , "you know not
what ' you do. I in dangire am ! '
She thought of her drunken husband ,
who at this moment might be leaving
the ' ballroom if , indeed , he were not
uancing I a minuet with that coarsa En
glish | girl , whom she hated. Every del
icate j fiber in the woman's body revolt
ed at the thought of her husband pay
ing attentions to that violet-eyed minx ,
while she would she flee -with this
tKautiful boy to his villa overlooking
the | Adriatic ? A thousand temptation" ,
a thousand wrongs , the endless and un
happy vistas of her past shot throug'i
her mind in the twinkling of a start.
She had preserved her beauty through
.
It all. What a preservation ! * * * Her
womanhood triumphed.
' Release me , my fren' , " she sa'd. with
calm grandeur , rising to a full height.
"I vill your leetel seester be forever ! "
A step was heard upon the oynx flooii
of the palace.
"It ees me hoosban' , " the woman
murmured , frigid with terror.
Lord Clairmount released her hastily.
His face , which the woman saw , was
as white as moonbars are.
"I fear nomortal man ! " he hissed ,
huskily fc , remembering his military trainIng -
.
Ing even in that dire extremity.
The step was heard once more.
"Ah , he vill lash me , vit hees glove- !
the woman exclaimed In a paroxysm ol
terror.
Lord Clairmount reached the window
safely. "Mind you , " he exclaimed , feel
ing in his pocket for a sword , * 'I flee
from no man , but absent myself thus
coolly lest the 'magazines of clever
ness' should hear of this ! "
With these tremendous words he
sprung through the window , taking the
casement with him.
The woman stocd alone.
A step was heard upon the onyx flori
bf the palace ? .
THE UNITED STATES IS. "
< 9
'
"The United States is , " or "the United -
'
ted States are. "
For years the contest has waged as
to whether the third person singulai
present indicative of the verb "to be"
should be used in connection with the
noun "United States , " or whether tht
proper form is not that of the present
indicative plural of the same verb.
The battle of the grammarians haj
not been without interest to the genera !
public ; but now they may lay asidt
their arms and enjoy a truce , for th !
Committee on Revision of Laws has , in
reviewing the Federal statutes , decided
that "the United States is. " The singu .
lar present of the verb "to be" will
therefore , be used in the forthcoming
edition of the revised statutes , an < J .
from the legal viewpoint "the Unitet )
States are" will cease to exist.
This change will , we take it , meel
tvith the approval of the people at
arge. There is something sublimely ex
ressive in the phrase "the United
States is , " that cannot fail to be pleas
ing to a proud and patriotic people.
'The United States is , " no matter hoti

IN CONVENTION.
Feachera Learn Something Not in the
Class Books.
A number of joung women attending
teachers' convention at Oklahoma City
tome time ago learned a valuable lesson
hygiene through a sister teacher who
ays : "About a year ago I had my first
ittack of poor health , and it seemed a
errible thing to me. for I had always
een so well and strong. My stomach
listressed me terribly ; it seemed like
was raw , especially after breakfast , ,
ind it would burn and hurt me so I could
tot rest. I was soon convinced that it
vas caused by coffee drinking and at the
equest of a friend I gave up coffee and
iegan to use Postum Coffee.
"The change in
my condition wa *
omething marvelous. I had actually
Iven up teaching because doctors were
mable to help my stomach trouble , but
Ince I quit coffee and used Postum y
roubles hare disappeared and I hav
one to teaching again.
"Some time I
ago attended
a conren-
ion at Oklahoma City and determined to
are Postum at my boarding house-
rhere there were eight other teachers , ,
our of them suffering from coffee sick-
ess. My landlady did
not make tha-
ostum right , -but I showed her how and
all found it delicious. We all drank
the rest of the time we were there and
young ladies in question feh much ,
etter and declared that their heads
rere much dearer for study and tneir
eneral health much improved. I have
ieir names if you care for them. "
