It was po!;en by Alan Dreek after the boy, David, bad stood for n minute terrified on the brink of a roaring torrent, ntd then, still sick with the fear of It, leaped across. To Alan Ilreck, the leap meant little. It required no Courage for him to make it, for he knew very little of fear. Hut for the boy, who did the thing he feared as h feared death, It was a real act of heroism. The only real courane consists in dolnt; the thing we nr afraid to do. The hulking prizefighter of the John Sullivan type, who has as much Imagination ns a grl?.zly bear, Is not brave. He Is Mire he I going to win. It takes no courage to go Into a winning tight. Thf bully Is never brave. In fact be Is always a coward. Feellngsure that his suprrior size vvlll carry him through, he picks quarrels as a pleasant method f passing his time. I'ut this mine bully into the ring with a large hungry tiger, face hiia with a man who looks as If lie enJovi'd sl ontlr.g bullies much as the bully enjoys thrashing bis physical Inferiors, and all tile ronrage oozes out of tie" bully.

'i'here are no pleasurable experiences of this Kori felt by those who are constantly complaining about the id i ort -coin in us of others, forgetful all the while of their own. You cannot feel the balmy air of spring mornings unless you go forth into the glorious outdoors and become a part of it, nor can you give, to others if you have nothing to give. That you should waste your days In Ignorance of this fundamental truth underlying happiness is a deplorable error, which, :?s the years pass softly over you. graying your hairs and marking little lines upon your face, often becomes a burden almost too heavy for self-respect. You cannot have the best without divorcing from your, heart all forms of selfishness, egotism, jealousy, covfrtousness, doubt and pride.

ers "Our cart'3 arc tle mothers, not only of cur charities and virtues, but of our best Joys ami most cheering nnd enduring leatsures." WHAT TO EAT TT ONi: hfis an old lasldoned Scotch kettle with an Iron cover there are so many toothsome dishes which may be prepared by cooking In It. Chicken, the ordinary fried chicken, never tastes half so appetizing as when it U cooked in this little Iron kettle, covered so tightly that all the Ilavors and juices are caught und stuy In the delicious morsels of tender meat. Put the chicken with a little butter and sweet lurd mixed Into the hot kettle and stir until each piece is lightly browned, then add a tablespiM nful of water, cover tightly and cook slowly, adding a tablespoonful of water occasionally as It is needed when the meat gets brown. The teeret of this kind of ctxjking is In keeping as little water as possible to steam and cook the meat. Kach piece will be moist, brown, and well cooked. The seasoning is added when the chicken has 1-een orst browned. Parsnips. (Wk fresh hard parsnips In boiling salted water until tend r. Peel ami

ness to take a chance, to attempt some dangerous thing for the kind of courage that counts. It Is not a brave but a very foolish man who walks a tight rope over Niagara falls. It I a brnve man, who not wanting to die, and knowing that an operation may end him out or the world, cheerfully goes to the table, to take the one chance that may mean his continued support of his wife or his dependents. Often the timid school boy, who fears to quarrel, and tries his best to keep his peacewlth his fellows, gets the name of coward. Hut when this same boy has to fight for what he thinks Is his honor, or to save a little boy from a bully, he becomes a very dangerous., fighter. Ileal courage Is not daunted by pain. The boy or the man who fights when he Is afraid to, stops being afraid of anything, pain, or a black eye, or punishment. He fights because he has courage, and he usually wins. There Is more real courage 'n this world than you fancy. It is behind all great-achievement. If you have it, you are fortunate. Hut don't Te sure, either that you have or that you haven't it till you have d-ne or refus'd to do something you wt-re afraid to do. (Copyright.)

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS

"QUARANTINE" '"pIIK origin of a term of 40 dayg-a "quarantine as a sanitary precaution against the spread of various diseases Is lost In the, dim mazes of eafly oriental history. Forty days was the period devoted In ancient times to the burial of the dead. The spies of the Israelites spent 40 days In Canaan before they submitted the report. Jonah gave the residents of Xineweh 40 days In which to consider his prophecy and repent. Christ, Moses and Elijah each fasted for 40 days the Christian observance of Lent being a commemoration of the most notable of these. Under William the Conqueror no man was permitted to remain in England more than 40 days without paying a tax of some kind, while under the Magna Charta It Is provided that a widow shall remain 40 days In the house of her deceased husband before being allotted her dowry. Tin? modern sanitary adaptation of the quarantine was es tablished by the French along the Mediterranean in order to prevent the Introduction of plague from the eastern countries, but apparently the o;-y reason for the arMtrary setting of such a 'Mime N that It forms one of the periods resulting from U division of the lunar year by the mystic number nine.

What a Chicago Centenarian Has Seen

CHICAGO. The 100th birthday of James II. Klrkley, said to be this city's oldest citizen, has come and passed. The centenarian, surrounded by children, grandchildren and a greatrandson, celebrated the event quietly at his hotne. He now hopes to pass the 101st milestone,- and, while his physical, strength has waned during the last two months, his mind is clear and his faculties alert. Members of his family believe that he will reach the new goal. Jr. Klrkley, expert mechanic, inventor, student of science and philosopher, has been particularly -interested in the mechanical progress made during the last century. He has seen the

Here is a wife demanding a divorce on the ground that her husband so overwhelmed her with love that she was driven to seek rest in a sanitarium And here is the husband demanding a divorce on the ground that the wife possessed an appetite for love so Insatiate that she forsook him to satisfy the craving among many other men ! This Is the situation the Superior court of Dedham is seeking to. solve in the suit and counter suit of Florence R. and Leon G. Morrill, a -wealthy and socially prominent young couple. For nearly six months the case has been In court. Mrs. Morrill, on the stand, has denied her husband's -charge, alleged herself neglected, and presented her three children as evidence of her Innocence, and named other women In her husband's life. Mr. Morrill has offered in evidence testimony of persons who raided his wife's apartment. He has submitted letters nnd telegrams concerning lil

When they awoke Victor started to prepare breakfast, ite spilled a can of soup. Kabotz upbraided him. Victor answered sharply. Leo Lvoskowskl and John Zawantowski tried to

pacify the pair. That was hopeless after Jacob had produced another can of soup with sharp orders that Victor prepare It. Victor flung the can on the ground, deTying the older boy. After two hours' quarreling Jacob dared Victor to a duel with rltles. Ills words were spoken In bravado, and Victor accepted in the same spirit, but before they realized what they were doing the boys were loading their rifles. They agreed on positions. Each hid behind a tree. Leo and John ranged themselves at the side, where they thought they wouid be safe. One of the combatants shouted: "Fire!" Fach fired and missed. Fach had a pocketful of cartridges. First one hoy. thin tin other, would peep from behind Iiis tree, let go, and dd.:e back-. Jacob hec-amo careless. His head protruded beyond the si'Ie of a tnv.
