The Fable of the One Who Preached Volubly But Did Naught

ONCE UPON A TIME A MAN was selected to fill an Important office. The duties incident to this office were varied and arduous. This man had well developed and positive ideas of his own strength, force of character and ability to accomplish anything he undertook. So . great indeed was his idea of his own importance; of the sincerity and purity of his own motives; that he was prone to regard with suspicion any scheme or measure or work that j Slid not emanate from his own energetic, Impulsive brain. So, confident was he that on him alone rested the duty of all work of relief or assistance, he stubbornly refused to believe that anyone else could possibly j have the self-same unselfflsh motive to do anything for the relief of the people. So firmly fixed was this belief, that anyone who opposed his measures or promulgated others without his advice, consent or sanction, he speedily 'declared the other as acting with ulterior motives, laboring to undermine the good he had attempted to accomplish and in short, branded the other as recreant to his trust and an enemy of the public weal. Now this man was also a persistent seeker of publicity, ever coming Into the limelight pf , public gaze, and ever extorting his own virtues, and ever questioning and belittling the motives of others, who, like unto himself, held Important positions and were charged also with many grave responsibilities. Now these other men,, had, long before the appearance of the Important one, performed responsible duties and had come to think that their status and position In the eyes of the people were invulnerable from the attacks of anyone, however persistent, and thus paid little heed to the tactics of self aggrandizement, and the campaign calculated to weaken their usefulness and Influence.. Now It happened that this important one could, unaided, perform little Pf genuine good or relief, and that before anything worth while could be accomplished he must need have the co-operation of the others, who were continually harassed by his insinuations and aspersions. The other men apparently secure in their positions at first paid, but little heed to the policy of the important one. By degrees the people, busy in their own affairs, ready to take for granted the truth of statements, especially often repeated, at length, began to make it known that they had come to believe the important one and to regard him as their real and only safe protector and to look askance and with feelings of distrust toward the other men. And it came to pass, that the people were in straits and In sore need of relief. Then they turned to the important one and said: "Now in faith we are glad we have such a servant; aid us in our extremity. In you alorte do we put our trust." But sad to relate, while the important one was exceedingly strong in words, he lacked much the capacity for actions. Evils existed of which he was aware, but hp was sorely perplexed and at much loss to conjure' up the remedy. In truth he had never anticipated a situation wherein he would be called upon to put into effect his oft-repeated theories, but knowing the other men were wise and experienced, despite his aspersions, he turned to them and said: "See the people suffer and you aid them not." But the other men, now exceedingly wroth, said: "For many days, and weeks, and months have you belaboured us, doubted our ability and scoffed at our labors. You have raised up the people against us, you have injured us in their eyes and weakened their confidence in us, likewise you have declared that you alone could aid them. Now proceed." But the important one was powerless, the people were insistent in their demands for relief, but he was unable to aid them. Again did he attempt to show the people how unworthy were the other men, but now the people, growing weary of naught but frequent speech, cried: "But why do you not help us?" Little by little it began to dawn upon the

people that by his repeated assertions

in a position wherein he was without ability to aid them and had angered and opposed those who might do so. Then, Just even in their disappointment, they said: Forsooth this man even beyond calculation is an excessive 'frost.' All of this talk even only for his own love and self. Much has he said, but little has he accomplished. He has quarrelled with our other servants. He has arrayed us against them and many others. He has preached tremendously and now he Is on the eve of retirement, confessing' his Inability to extend us relief, surely we will be pardoned for our slang. Verily he hath been a four flusher.'"

PUBLIC FOR INSPECTION AT ALL the important one had placed himself the founder of the New York Bank of Commerce. She was educated by private tutors. Since her marriage in 1843 to Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe she has resided in Boston. Her husband, who died in 1876, was a pioneer worker for the education of the blind. Throughout her long life Mrs. Howe has been a leader in many movements which have had to do with American literature, philanthropy and the emancipation of her sex. Anti-slavery, woman's suffrage, prison reform and the universal peace movement have occupied her attention. She has been a voluminous writer on many subjects and is well known for her poetical works. Perhaps her most famous poem is "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," which is taught to every school child in the United States today. Chicago is to have a workingman's hospital. It is to be an institution managed co-operatively by the labor unions, in which free treatment and medicine will be given the families of workingmen in time of sickness.

Heart to Heart

rm I alks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. 1903, by Edwin A Nye. THE WIDTH OF A SMILE, This is a statistical age. Everything nowadays must be reduced to the average of tabulated figures. Following this disposition, an Inquiring Englishman with a genius for figures has been devoting himself to the statistics of smiles. Naturally be finds the smiles of women the more Interesting study. On an average, he says, a woman's mouth Is stretched a half Inch each time she smiles. lie allows her thirtysix smiles a day a fair average and, according to this computation, the temporary extensions of her Hps amount to the total of eighteen inches. Very good indeed! Pursuing these statistics, one can easily figure that in an entire year the average woman's face would be wreathed and twisted into more than 1S2 yards of sunny, winsome smiles. And that Is going some. This presumably accurate estimate, however, it must be remembered, takes no account of variations. You see, there are some women who do not smile more than the sixteenth part of an inch at one attempt. And some of them do not make the attempt more than thirty-six times a month. Their smiles are stingy and therefore difficult to measure. Besides, they are the smiles that come off. Other gracious ones smile easily and often all over their faces. Most anything good will set their bonny lips to stretching and their dimples to dancing accompaniment to laughing eyes. Your English expert cannot measure the aggregate length of their smiles. Not on your life. That sort of smiles stretch leagues of happy laughter. And there are some men also who can do a good job of smiling. The convulsion of mirth starts somewhere down In the region of the dlaphram, creeps upward until it spreads all over the jolly countenance. Such smiles are somewhat less than a rod in length. They need no eulogy. Note, for instance, those types of hearty, irrepressible, generous, wide open smiles by Theodore Roosevelt and William J. Bryan. Let your Englishman tackle them. Ilalf an inch? "Why, they are as wide as a barn door. Applying the Englishman's measurements, Bryan and Roosevelt smile hugely and without mental reservation seventeen miles a day. RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS Congress won't adjourn until that ?32,000,000 pork barrel is coopered up. Lay your bets on that. You've g;ot to pretend that you are having a good time In this world even if you are not. We can't help but notice one thing, that no matter how big the strawberry crop gets the bottom of the boxes never gets any deeper. They who wait for dead men's shoes seldom get even the strings, let alone the shoes. Here we get the first hot day and 700 brewery hands strike ' in Kansas City. If we were not philosophers and prohibitionists and other things we might be peeved. A man can't live any cheaper when he's married, but he can feel a great deal cheaper when his wife gets after him. The H., W. & E. C. street railway officials will please remember also that there are other pictures of its service that wouldn't look well in print. Where is the man so wise that he has solved the mystery of hooks and eyest Little the mosquitoes care about the dlrectoire gowns they get theirs anyway. WHEN ONE MAN CALLS ANOTHER A LIAR AND TIIB OTHER CALLS BACK THE DREADFUL WORD, IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT BOTH GENTLEMEN ARE RIGHT. The Hammond bank statements bear out The Times' assertion that there is mighty little panic here now. When a woman "Just hates" the man she used to love, she's In great danger of a relapse. Vice President Fairbanks is now loudly disclaiming that he will not acept the second place on the ticket. Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Somebody has to take it. There are two . things that a woman was never known to do with any degree of success, . one

The death of Benjamin C. Hopkins," a young railroad switchman, is expected hourly at St. Elizabeth's hospital in Lafayette as a result of a mysterious stabbing affair. HIa assailant is unknown and the affair happened in the Wabash yards. The old folks of Morristown are superstitious today on account of the holding of the old folks singing. Last year three Indianapolis boys were killed by a fast train, and the year before on this occasion lightning did great damage. At the general conference of the Missouri synod of the German Lutheran church at Fort Wayne, it was decided that the German , language should be the only one to be taught in their parochial schools. The decision was reached after a long debate. W. F. Blakely, chief oh the Indiana bureau of inspection, denied that the child laws of the state are constantly being violated. He says that he has good reason to believe that the laws have been conscientiously enforced. The charter of the Eagles of Warsaw was revoked by the order of Grand President A. Bell of San Francisco. Complaint was made by the wife of one of the members that there had been drinking and because of the refusal of the Aerie to suspend the guilty members the Warsaw lodge of 250 members will be disbanded. Otto Robinson of Shelbyville had a narrow escape from death when an interurban car on the Cincinnati traction line struck the rear wheels of his automobile and tore eft the tire and otherwise injured the machine. John Roagh, a prisoner in the peni Is to drive a nail and the other is to tell whether it is going to rain. Fiddling Bob Taylor's maiden speech in the senate appears to have been characteristically breezy and picturesque, though scarcely so magniloquent as some of his stump speeches down in East Tennessee, where he is on record as having described the mountains there as high enough to enable the mountaineers to kiss the toes of the angels. He. is to be credited with having included In his Iniatory senatorial effort a story which may be useful for campaign purposes later on: "You are dying," said the doctor to his patient, leaning over him. "Have you anything to say or any wish to be carried out?" "Yes" replied the dying man, with tears streaming from his eyes. "I wish I had called, some other doctor." IN POLITICS Senator Johnson of Alabama favors the nomination of Governor Johnson of Minnesota as the democratic candidate for the presidency. Former governor Edwin Warfleld of Maryland says a national democratic ticket headed by Governor Johnson of Minnesota and Governor Folk of Missouri would sweep the country at the November elections. Governor Charles M. Floyd of New Hampshire predicts that the democratic convention at Denver next July will name William J. Bryan of Nebraska for president and John A. Johnson of Minnesota for vice president. Ruth Bryan Leavltt daughter of William J. Bryan, will, it Is said, take the stump In Colorado, Wyoming and other western states and will make political speeches in favor of her father, if he is nominated for the presidency. Henry F. Staple, candidate for the democratic nomination for governor of Missouri, is opposed to state-wide prohibition. He declares that it is forcing some communities to a thing which they by a vote of their people have declared against, and that consequently It is undemocratic and un-American. Certain leaders of the temperance movement in Pennsylvania declare that the next gubernatorial campaign will be waged on a local option Issue, and that State Treasurer William H. Berry will be the candidate of the forces opposed to the nomination of the saloon in Pennsylvania politics. Political signs in Texas point to the re-election of Governor Campbell for another term. He succeeded in maintaining an attitude of neutrality in the recent fight on Senator Bailey and it is notl ikely that either faction In the democratic ranks will seriously oppose him for another election. The Independence league, the political organlaztlon financed by William Randolph Hearst, is to Invade Evansville and the county of Vanderburg. And the reason for it Is because the people are demanding better men for the legislature, and the independence league will try to furnish them. South Bend, Ind., May 26. Two days before the date for the thirteenth district democratic convention at Plymouth the situation is full of uncertainty and there is a decided probability of an adjournment without a

Edward Wiltermood of Cayuga, 21 years old, at 10:10 Saturday night, threw himself in front of the C. E. A I. passenger train, known as the New Orleans special, and was beheaded. He had been attentive to Miss Susie Van Sant, but his affection was not reciprocated. A public reception will be given this evening at the Christian church in Crawfordsville in honor of Claude A. PIfer, a Wabash college graduate with the class of 1907, who leaves In August to begin his course of study at Oxford, England, as a Rhodes scholar from Indiana. Lee F. Weiger of Anderson, 32 years old, a mill' employe, is dead and his 18 year- old wife, Retta Weiger, and her mother, Mrs. Laura York, are In St. John's hospital as the result of a shooting tragedy at the home of Anderson York and family Saturday night. Mrs. Ellsha Ilenser of 'Medaryvllle obtained a divorce from her husband, with a restoration of her maiden name, Malbauer, yesterday afternoon and within forty minutes from the grant ing the decree, she was the wife of Zebediah German; three names in forty minutes.

Shively, but as he has not said he will accept the honor, there is a disposition to let the nomination go over for several weeks in order to give active and receptive candidates opportunity to ascertain their standing. Should Mr. Shlvely decline the nomination, it may go to H. A. Barnhart of Rochester. The Lake county socialists have not yet decided whether they will put a county ticket this year or not in the field. The party will probably have another meeting this week to decide the matter. Morocco, Ind., May 26. William Miller and Edward Harris of Jackson township, two of the republican candidates for the nomination of auditor, have decided to let the convention for selecting the delegates settle by ballot as to which is the stronger the, one, receiving the least number of votes to withdraw altogether from the race. Terre Haute, Ind., May 26. Eugene V. Debs is home for a rest before going east to open his campaign as the socialist candidate for president. He has been in Glrard, Kan., for some weeks editing the weekly socialist paper, the Appeal to Reason. Just before he started for Terre Haute there was a public reception for him at which the mayor of Glrard presided and announced that while many in Glrard did not share his views and perhaps would not vote for him, "you all love him love him because you cannot help loving him." Mr. Debs says he did what little he could to prevent the nomination coming to him. Long ago, he says, he made up his mind not to be a candidate for political office, but he is constrained to violate that vow because when he joined the socialist party he was taught that the desire of the individual was subordinate to the party will. He expects a surprisingly large vote this fall for the socialist ticket, saying the party is today where the abolitionists were In 1858. The socialist party, he says is In alliance with the forces of evolution as the republican party then was. TAC0MA AWATS FLEET. Tacoma, Wash., May 27. Crowded with strangers and dressed in her best bib and tucker, Tacoma is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the battleship fleet this afternoon. By general consent as well as by the request of Mayor Miller all business has been practically suspended In order to give the people an opportunity to witness the arrival of the fleet. Twelve of the big sea fighters are due to arrive, though only a portion of this number will remain for the three days' festivities. The others are under orders to proceed direct to San Francisco, there to await the reassembling of the entire fleet to begin the trip across the Pacific The entertainment program here will be carried out on an elaborate scale. The chamber of commerce, 'with the co-operation of the city officials and the citizens generally, has completed the program and during the remainder of the week the officers and bluejackets will be kept busy if they take In half of the numerous features arranged in their honor. The arrival of the fleet will be followed by the usual exchange of courtesies between the commanding officers and the city officials. Tonight the officers will come ashore to attend dinners and public receptions at the leading clubs, while free vaudeville entertainment will be provided for the sailors. Tomorrow the entertainment program will be taken up in earnest and there will be little sleep in Tacoma until the last rocket has been shot off in the big fireworks display prepared for next Saturday night. - v

Annual Mad Dog Season Has Arrived With All Its Fearful Scares

Terrible Case of Dr. Marsh in the East Should be a Warning. Have you a dogf If you have, remember this is the annual mad dot? season, the time of year when scores of maddened, neglected, suffering, faithful friends of man run amuck in the street imperiling the lives of children and adults, not because they are viclour. and in many cases not because they are mad, but simply because they do not get proper care aud attention. It docs not pay to take any chances with a strangely acting dog, but if they are cared for properly and if they are muzzled kindly they need never become daugcrousu Last year hundreds were killed in the Calumet region. The Times has already published four mad dog stories though the season Is yet young. From now on as the oppressive days of summer approach, there is not a community which will not be threatened, at one time or another, with the mad dog peril. Some poor miserable canine will be taken with the dreaded rabies and before death ends its sufferings, it will possibly have infected half a dozen other dogs or perhaps some little child or even an adult may be marked for as terrible - a death as can be imagined. Whether or not the people of a community realize the menace of unmuzzled dogs the fact remains that each season has its mad dog victims and the city authorities never take action until some one has been bitten and the whole community is aroused by an untimely death from this cause. In Crown Point last year a son of Peter Eltlng died as a result of being bitten by a dog. Everything was done to save him but he succumbed In spite of the efforts of the physicians. DOG SCARES EVERY YEAR. There were mad dog scares in almost every neighborhood of every city and town in the county last year. Police were time and again notified that some canine was acting oueerly and were compelled to shoot the animal. The general public lias a mistaken idea that only the dog which goes gnlloping down the street with froth oozing from its mouth and snapping at every living thing In its path, has the rabies. That Is merely the last stage of the disease, but it is possible for a person to become Infected from the bite of a dog that is perfectly gentle and has manifested none of the above symptoms. In the first stages of the disease the virus 1 Just as virulent, but has not affected the brain of the nnfrnal. Contrary to the prevailing idea, it is not necessary to be bitten by a dog to become Infected with the disease. Infection may resnlt from the contact of an abrascd portion of the human body with an open wound on the dog as was the case of a New York physician. DEATH IS CERTAIN. The infection and death of Dr. William II. Marsh of Xew York City as told by The Herald is one of the most terrible things imaginable. Dr. Marsh was Informed by the physician who attended him that he had been Infected with the rabies and as the disease had progressed to the last stages no human aid could save him. The sentence of death was upon him and when the doctor made the final diagnoial on Monday he iaformed his patient that he could not live longer than Thursday noon. His last agonies were eased by the administration of opiates administered by the physician while his family hoped against home that unerring science might once more be in error. Dr. William L. Wheeler of the Pasteur Institute had the following to say about the case of Dr. Marsh t "There is no doubt that he was Infected from a dog that did duty as a watchdog at his factory. This animal, a mongrel in which the bull terrier train predominated, appeared at the factory about a Tear ago and made itself at home. It was adopted as the factory dog and formed an attachment for Dr. Marsh. "About six weeks ago the dog came In with a deep gash In one side. Dr. Marsh, without considering how the dog might have been Injured, personally dressed the wound, washing it and , taking a stitch or two In It. I Skin Was A braised. "While he was unable to recollect, after hla disease malnfested itself, whether or not he had any cuts or abrasions on his hands at the time, the conclusion is inevitable that he did have some scratch or puncture of the skin, just enough, perhaps, to let

the virus hydrophobia enter his system, for it is probable that the dog's injuries were Inflicted by the teeth of a rabid animal. The dog itseft exhibited symptoms of hydrophobia and 113 ura,n snowed the character lesion of rabies." "When Dr. Marsh came to the Pasteur Institute." said Dr. wwi t... night." the symptoms of hydrophobia c.e aireaay visible, and I was entirely justified in telllne him he could not live more than three day. xvov-uvery irom hydroprobla is unknown In medical annals. The only treatment known, that discovered by Pasteur, is of benefit only when administered before the external symptoms of the disease manifest themselves. In such cases it cures In nearly every instance. "My prediction that death would ensue In three days was based on a wide experience in similar cases. I have sometimes been able to foretell the very hour in which death would come. There is only one safe procedure to ho followed when one Is bitten by a dog. and that is to take the Pasteur treatment at once. If the dog, after biting a person, shows symptoms of rafcles, there Is no chance of saving the person's life. In every case tho dog should be killed as soon as it has bitten one person and Its brain examined for the characteristic signs of the disease." Dr. Marsh did not delude himself with false hopes. With the death warrant of the physicians of the Pasteur Institute still ringing in his ears, he made his will, called his family and business associates Into council and gave them explicit directions' for the conduct of his business and personal affairs after he should have gone from them, and calmly lay down to die, as he had lived, like a man. "You will die before Thursday noon. No human power can save you." That was the dictum of Dr. WllHam L. Wheeler, of the Pasteur Institute, delivered last Monday. It struck Dr. Marsh like a blow between the eyes, but he stood up to It man fashion. I have seen some pitiful sights, but I never have been so moved as I waa by the calm courage, and splendid heroism of Dr. Marsh when I told him there was no hope for him," said Dr. Wheeler yesterday. Returning with his physician. Dr. H. M. Cullnan, to his home. No. 47 Ocean avenue, Brooklyn, Dr. Marsh at once began to make plans for the future of those dear to him. Himself a graduate in medicine, he knew science had said Its last word and his fate lay on the knees of the gods. -I am not afraid to die. The past hides nothing that should make me ashamed to face the future," said he to his friends who called when word was sent forth that one about to die was waiting for the end. His only fear was that the frightful convulsions of the final stage of rabies might prove too harrowing for his family to witness, the terrifying cries too heart rending for tho me to hear. So he asked Dr. Cullinan to keep close when the period of delirium began and to be liberal with chloroform, opium or whateven might avail to stupefy and to soothe. Faithful to his trust. Dr. Cullinan hardly left the bedside of his patient and friend until the end. From early Tuesday afternoon until he died Mr. Marsh was in a state of almost complete unconsciousness, induced by seda tives. .Death came gently and peacefully. Still In full possession of his faculties, the only symptoms of his fatal disease being the convulsive contractions of the throat that seized him from time to time. Dr. Marsh directed and the rest consented, that his second son, Ramsey, who has been associated with him In business, should undertake the management of the company as Its neaa. There were other things talked over. too. but Of their details nnnm would speak last night. It Is safe to say, however, that of all the occupants of the house. Dr. Marsh himself wsji the only one who .slept that night. Dr. Marsh was doomed from the moment thft svrrnlnmti n f rflh!fs iIat.I. oped,' 'said Dr. Culinan. "It was beyona tne power or science to save him. I accompanied him to the Pasteur Institute on Monday, as soon as he had reported his symptoms to me. I had llttl hnn when we went there nnd none when we left. Both Dr. Rambaud and Dr. Wheeler assured us there was no record case where the patient , had recovered after showing the first symptoms of rabies. We decided to trv the Pasteur treatment, but without hope. I administered it daily until hla death. "There is one point I cannot empha size too strongly. This was a genuine case of rabies beyoud the possibility of a doubt. There have been suggestions that it was pseudo-rabies, or 'lyssophobla. a hysterical condition that Is sometimes set up in persons of a nerv ous temperment under the Influence of fear. No such conditions obtained in this case. TP. W. TT 'Parle Afrtitnr of th TtBftrrh TiHninfltnrv nt th Tlrjnrrt of Health, where the Pasteur treatment Is also prepared and administered, said: "It Is nrfectlv true that rabies is in curable after the external symptoms have set in. Death in such cases can h. xrifh ahaolute certaintv. There are at least five hundred mad dogs killed m New iorK every year. We examined the brains of 200 last year.
