The "car bandits," mere lads of Chicago, who shot policemen and made a rtelgn of terror, ending; their career at the fallows, confessed they got their roe for outlawry from yellow backed horsl. Note the law of assimilation. The law Is this: One Is assimilated Changed, transformed into the likeness sf that which he loves and admires. If the boy admires the desperado he rCl want to be like him. Therefore the danger in the book that makes a hero of a bad man. The boy will be warped Into the likeness of a tad man. . There Is plenty of this literature. Bore's the pity, which puts a Jesse James or a Frank Tracy op on a pedestal of success for worship. Watch the books your boy reads. And by the same tokenLook Into the books read by your girt. The heroine of your girl's book will Influence her Imagination. Her Ideals, like the Ideals of the boy, will transform her. Many of the current novels read by girls and catalogued as harmless are not only trashy, bat dangerous. Be- , reuse they are not true to life. They give distorted views of the real world. The girl gets false Ideals. Her fancy Is filled with diseased imaginings. She la thus mentally unfitted. She la laying up for herself discontent and unhapplnesa, because her life will not come tip to her Ideals. Good Action has Its place. Watch over the child's ideals. - Do you remember Hawthorne's story of The Great Stone Face?" Legend said: Some day a great and good man would come and stand by the noble stone face In the mountain, and his face would be like the stone face. A boy looked every day for years on the stone face. He admired the face. He learned to love it. One day, grown to manhood, be stood by the stone face, and, lo, every one saw that his face had been changed Into the likeness of the stone! His face had been transformed Into the close resemblance of the face that he admired. Which Is a true fable of the power of aa ideal. But Suppose the stone face had been an ttt face, a hideous and a cruel facet HONOR OF INDIANA VETERANS UPHELD Cof. Oran Perry Writes Book On Mexican War.

C 3NEGIE URGES BIG DEATH DUES

Magnate's Book Says State Should Get Half of MilBonaire's Gold. NOVEL IDEAS SET FORTH. FREAK POLICY WOULD WORK WONDERFULLY TOWARD RICH MAN'S ADMINISTRATION OF WEALTH DURING LIFE. New York, Nov. 9. That the state should obtain at least half of the millionaire's gold in the shape of death duties and that the poor should be freed from all taxation are two of the statements contained in Andrew Carnegie's latest book entitled "Problems of Today: Wealth Labor SocialIsm," soon to be published. The work Is dedicated to President Roosevelt In the following terms: i "I dedicate this book to Theodore Roosevelt, a good and great president, who has elevated the standard of duty in both public and private life; foremost apostle of the 'square deal' for all classes of men; a true man of the people and a model citizen in example and precedent." Early in the book Mr. Carnegie gives his views on the taxing of estates at death. ' "It is difficult." he says, "to set bounds to the share of a rich man's estate which should go at his death to the public through the agency of the state and by all means such taxes should be graduated, beginning at nothing upon moderate sums to dependents and increasing rapidly as the amounts swell, until of the millionaire's hoard, as of Shylock's, at least 'the other half comes to the privy coffer of the state.' "This policy would work powerfully to induce the rich man to attend to the administration of wealth during his life, which is the end which society should always have in view, as being by far the most fruitful for the people. "Nor need it be feared that this pol icy would sap the root of enterprise and render men less anxious to accu mulate, for, to the class whose ambition it is to leave great fortunes and be talked about after death, it will be even more attractive and indeed, a somewhat nobler ambition to have en ormous sums paid over to the state from their fortunes." FRELOF CHOLERA Record of Cases Since Ameri can Occupation. Manila, Nov. 9. Manila is report ed by the .health authorities to be practically free of cholera. Since the American occupation in 1898 the num ber of whites in the islands attacked by cholera is 247. Of these 129 cases were fatal.

BLOCKADE PORTS DEFERRED Warships of Venezuelan Coast Await Developments.

Wiilenistad, Nov. 0. The act revoking the decree prohibiting the export cf arms and ammunitions, published yesterday, eets forth that the revocation concerns only Venezuela. No immediate action is expected to be taken by the Dutch government in the way of a blockade against Venezuelan ports, but it is understood that the war vessels which now are here soon will proceed to sea and cruise along the Venezuelan coast, awaiting developments. MBS. MILLER DEAD Well Known Woman Expires At Advanced Age of 73 Years. WAS A NATIVE OF BAVARIA. Mrs. Margaret Spekenhier Miliar one of the best known women of the city, died this morning from paralysis after an extended illness, at the advanced age of 73 years, at her home, 219 South. Eleventh street. Mrs. Miller was for some time in very poor health, but not until a few days before her death were all hopes of her recovery given up. The deceased is the wife of John Z. Miller, and is the mother of J. Albert and Frank Spekenhier. Mrs. Miller was born in Bavaria in 1836. In 1839 in company with her ! parents, Michael and Catharine Bickel, she set sail for America on one of the old fashioned sailing vessels. While on the voyage to America the vessel encountered many storms and after being chased and fired on by a pirate ship for several days, the ship finally eluded its pursuers and- arrived 6afely in America after a ninety days' trip. On the arrival in America the family journeyed to Columbus, O., via canal. At Columbus Mrs. Miller received her education. Attending school she had to avoid the stumps and swamps on the land upon .which the Franklin county court house now stands. In 18o9 she married John Speken-' hler and to this union three sons- were born, Irvin, who died in infancy, Frank, and J. Albert. Mr. Spekenhier died in 1880. In 1808 the family removed to Richmond. In 1901 she was united in marriage for the second time to John Z. Miller, one of the well known Quaker residents of this city. She has made this her home for tho past twenty-six years. Mrs. Miller was affiliated with the daughters of Rebecca, Womens Relief Corps and Daughters of Pocohontas. In this order she was a charter member and was elected Wenonah. The funeral will take place Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock from the home. The burial will be in Earlham. Please omit flowers. No Fiction. It was a clerk in a Detroit bookstore of whom a prim matron demanded a book for her son. "No fiction, please," she explained, "but absolute, literal truth, without unnecessary verbiage or absurdly fanciful pictures." "Well, madam" The bookseller paused, his eye running over tis shelves; then, with a flash of Inspiration, he took down a volume. "I should think this might meet your requirements," he said, and he handed her a popular geometry. Feminine Fortitude. Comparisons of the relative fortitude of men and women are idle as odious. Parallel lines never meet, as we' all know.

On every side in the Malay wilds the traces of the beasts which here live as scheduled, as safe from molestation, as did their ancestors In preAdamite days are visible on tree trunk, on beaten game path and on the yielding clay at the drinking places by the hurrying stream. Here a belt of mud nine feet from the ground shows that an elephant has rubbed his Itching back against the rough bark of a tree. and. see, coarse hairs are still sticking In the hardened clay. There a long, sharp scratch repeated at regular intervals marks the passing of a rhinoceros. Here, again, is the pad mark of a tiger barely an hour old, and the pitted tracks of deer of all sizes and varieties surround the deeply punched holes which are the footsteps of an elephant CornhlV Magazine.

MAY FILL FOUR PLACES ON BENCH

Taft to Choose Successors to Chief Justice Fuller and Associates. WILL GET A FULL SALARY. SOME MEMBERS OF SUPREME BENCH ARE PAST THE AGE LIMIT OF SEVENTY YEARS ROOSEVELT MAY NOT ACT. Washington," Nov. 9. Associate Justice Rufus W. Peckham reached his seventieth year Saturday, and consequently adds another to the list of members of the supreme court who are eligible to retirement. The law permits justices to retire with full pay when they have reached the age of 70 though a few members who have been blessed with robust health have waived the rule. Now that the complexion of the national administration has been settled for four years to come, it would not be surprising if there should be some changes in the personnel of the supreme tribunal before many months have elapsed. With Justice Peckham there are four members of the court who have passed the retiring age. These are Melville W. Fuller, chief Justice, who is 75; John M. Harlan, associate justice, who is only three months the junior of the chief justice; David J. Brewer, associate justice, who will be 71 next Juno, and Justice Peckham, who was 70 years old today. President Roosevelt is not likely to have an opportunity to name a member of the supreme court, but his suecessor will in all probability have the naming of at least four to take the place of those now eligible to retire. Chief Justice Fuller has already given nearly six years more to the arduous task of weighing every matter coming before the court than he would have had to give. He is a hale and hearty, well preserved old man, and bears hi3 threescore and fifteen years with grace. Though for the time he is chief justice Mr. Fuller la compelled by precedent and good taste to keep out of politics, he is yet a stanch i democrat, and among his friends it is, an open secret that he has held his j high position during the last few years in the hope that President Roosevelt might be succeeded by a democrat, and j that his own successor might be a man ;

Dagger's home is just west of the Ohio state line on the John F. Miller farm. THE HEAD HUNTERS. Uncanny Trophiee That Are Cherished by the Dyaka. The head hunting propensities of the Dyaks are well known to the students of ethnology. The leading thought In the taking of beads Is the Idea that the conqueror could secure the "soul" of the conquered and add it to his own, increasing thereby his courage and strength and consequently bis reputation as a hero as long as the head of the victim remained in his possession. It is therefore the custom of the people after battle to wrap the severed heads in a loose crate of rattan and smoke them over a fire of damp wood and leaves. Then they hang the ghastly trophies in the bouses In bundles having an uncanny resemblance to gigantic clusters of grapes, each bead forming a berry. These war trophies are considered by the Dyaks their most sacred possessions and are guarded with the utmAct iAQtnnBV anil T-ir-n-irifA Thlr loss would mean not only a conslderable decrease of personal prestige, but also the loss of a part of the "soul" that Is, of courage and strength. 1 have often had the questionable privilege of sitting under the bundles of heads in the Dyak houses as the seat of honor and of examining them closely.

SOME WORD ORIGINS. Hurrah Comae From the OH Battleary of the Vikings. Ph th final svllable of most col-

lege yells, is. of course, short for hur rah. The word hurrah Itself comes from the old batt leery of the ancient vikings namely. Tur Ale. which means God aid. There Is another form. , huzza, which comes from bosanna. j This was the old cry f the crusaders. The word yes comes directly through the Norman-French oyez. which means near. In ita old form It is still used by beadles and certain municipal : official In civic functions In England and also by the royal heralds In proclaiming the succession of sovereigns to the throne. No is purely NormanFrench and comes from the Latin non tta, meaning not so. The real Anglo-Saxon was nay. Just as the Anglo-Saxon affirmative was yea. The word mister Is directly from the Latin magister, meaning master. Mrs. is from the word mistress, and formerly, as late as the eighteenth century, all unmarried women were given the title of mistress aa, for example. Mistress Sophia Weatern In Torn Jones." Esquire is derived from the old NormanFrench escuyer. which means shield bearer. Every knight of the shire had bis shield bearer, and the honor of carrying the ahleld was supposed to confer gentility npon the follower. The word gentleman rntil the middle of the seventeenth century meant, as the present French word gentilhomme, a nobleman, nothing less, and no man w as a gentleman who was sot entitled to "bear arms.

"The line which separates those who 'dress for dinner from those who do hot Is an Invisible crack compared with the yawning gulf that divides those people of London who 'dreaa thelrselves of a Sunday from those who have none but their workaday clothes." So writes a district nurse In "The Next Street but One." "I had often noticed, said the writer, "that one highly respectable old agricultural laborer wore very much the same clothes at all times, but unfortunately it was not until after his death that I heard of the tragedy that had darkened all the Sundays of bis later life and bitterly mortified his wife and daughters.
