CURRENT PERSONALITIES
Dictionary definition: "I'oraonnllty Appli
cation of remarks (usually offensive) to
somo Individual." What n disillusionizing
comment on life "usually offensive" other
wise nothing to say. It Is rcasBurltiK to re
port that mngazlno personalities this month
contradict this cynicism and are Roncrally
eulogistic, except for somo editorial com
ments, aucli as a roast of ex-Clovcrnor
Ulcnse, of South Carolina, In tho Outlook,
so well deserved as scarcely to bo termed
offensive.
Appropriately enough, of 15 biographical
articles In ns many magazines, flvo concern
military men, Of the remaining1 ten articles,
tin oo nro about women, nntl seven concern
men nrtlstn and wrltora.
Tho nttltudo toward Bplcs usually depends
so entirely upon whether the Individual spy
bo "for you or ag'In you," that It Is Inter
esting to rend In "Sir Robert Baden-Powell's
Adventures ns n Spy," (1) told by himself, In
Everybody's, n defenso of spylnc; In general,
ns well ns an account of his own ex
periences. Though the general value of tho fiorvlco
Is icadlly acknowledged, tho spy himself Is
regarded as necessarily base nnd despicable.
The scout Is looked up to ns a brave man,
and his expedients for gaining Information
nro thought wonderfully clever, bo long ns
ho remains In uniform. If ho goes a bit
further and llnds that ho can get Informa
tion hotter hv ndnptlnp; a disguise, oven
at n greater risk to himself tluough tho cer
tainty of being shot If found out, then ho
Is looked down upon ns a "desplcablo spy." I
don't seo the Justice of It mysolf.
On out occasion I wanted to nsceituln
wlint value thero was In the musketry trnln
Ing of the Germnn Infnntry. Without nny
concealment, I went to stuy In gnrrlson
towns, apparently Just to look around, from
the tourist point of view.
Ono day I sauntered carelessly down In
tho direction of the range at a point far
away from the entrance gate, and here I lay
down on the grass ns If to sleep, but rcnlly
to listen and take tho rate of tho shooting
from the sound, also the amount of suc
cess by tho sound of hits on tho Iron target.
Presently I wont nearer In the hope of get
ting a sight inside. While the sentry's hack
was turned 1 made a lush for the fence,
and, though I could not get over, T found
a looso plank, through which I was ablo
to get n good vlow.
While I was rngngod at this, to my horror,
the sentry suddenly turned on his tracks
nnd csmo back toward mo. But I was lire
pared, and, Jamming back tho plank into
Its place, I produced from my pocket a
lW)ttle of brandy, which I had brought for
tne purpose. Half of It had been already
sprinkled over my clothes, so that when tho
man approached ho found me in a stato of
flrunkonness, smelling vilely of spirit nnd
profuse In my offers to him to share the
bottle.
He could mako nothing of mo, nnd
therefore gently but firmly conducted mo
to tho end of his beat, thrust me forth and
idvlscd me to go home, which I did In great
:ontcnt
A name made familiar nil over the world
by tho war Is that of tho Cdmmander-In-Chlef
of the French army who Is described
In the Review of Reviews, (2):
Tall, deep of chest, with a massive head,
the broad forehead of which is underscored,
n it were, by the sharp lino of bushy eye
brows, a strong Jaw and heavy moustache, all
sontrlbutlng to make a figure of groat manli
ness and vigor such Is General Joffre. as
described In tho Correspondent, of Paris.
His clear, blue eyes, set wide apart, are
bright and attentive. They attract Instant
attention. General Joffre Is taciturn. Ho
thinks, he listens, he decides. His orders aro
brief and shatp. His thoughts nre con
densed Into terse sentences. There nro no
superfluous words, but no detail Is for
gotten. Tho Iron grill that bars tho entrance to
his modest dwelling In Autcll, near Paris,
Is hung over with bouquets, placed thero by
unknown hands. Thoy aro tho nalvo und
spontaneous homage- offered by France to
her savior.
Although not tho Commander-in-Chief of
our army, our most prominent military man
Is undoubtedly Colonel George Goethnls,
builder of tho Panama Canal, who Is tho sub
ject of an article by J. E. Bishop in Scrlb
ner's, (3):
It might bo said that many generations
have united In fitting him for his great
task. The history of his family dated back
to 860, In which year ono Honorius left Italy
with the Duke ot BurEUmly for France. In
i flgbt with Saracens Honorius was struck
across tho neck with what was capable of
proving to be a deadly blow, but because
of the fine quality of his armor and tho
physical strength of his person no injury
was caused. Ills escape won for him tho
title of "Bant Coll." His nickname was
translated Into the native tongue as "Goct
Hals," meaning, ns it had In Italian, "good
neck," or "stiff neck," and In course of time
It was united In one word and became the
family name. Colonel Goethals' parents
migrated from Holland to the United States,
and ho was born In Brooklyn In 1858. The
name has been Americanised and Is pro
nounced Go-thals,
Pioneering in the Pulpit
The autobiography of Doctor Anna How
ard Shaw, which has been running In the
Metropolitan this winter, is a remarkably well
told and thrilling "true story." She Is best
known ns president of tho National Woman's
Suffrage Association, but she Is also an or
dained preacher, and this month's chapter
of her atory tells of some of her hardships
as a divinity student, working against' the
antagonism of her 43 young" men classmates,
and the violent opposition of her family, who
considered her a disgrace to the name of
Sbaw (4);
I entered the theological school of Boston
University In 1876. I wont through some
grim months in Boston. I hired a little attlo
room on Tremont street and established my
self therein. In lieu of a window the room
offered a, pale skylight to the February
storms, and there was neither heat In It nor
running; water. I at once sought oppor
tunltles to preach nnd lecture, but these
were even rarer than firelight and food. I
lived there on milk and crackers, and for
weeks at a time my hunger was never
Wholly satisfied,
The day dawned when I had not a cent,
nor any prospects of earning- one. My stock
of provisions consisted of a box of bisoults,
and my courage was flowing from me Ilka
blood from an opened vein. Late in the after
noon I was aked tn do a week of revival
ark with a minister lu local churoh. My
shoes had burst open on the kldea. For lack
of carfare. I had to walk to and from my
meetings, toeugh I had barely strength fur

the Magazines
good, otd-tlmo affairs, when the mourners'
benches wcro constantly filled. Tho excltd
ment and our success, mildly aided by tho
box of hlscults, sustained me through the
week. Tho last aervlco over nnd the peopla
departed, I sank weak and trembling lnlc

In tho world, averaging It up, aborigines and
nil, Is, of course, tho movlng-plcturo star,
Mary Plckford. Tho Theatre, a magazine of
