"Did he?" commented Macdonald evenly. "What were you doing to him? ' "lie can't sneak around our claim under a false name," growled one of the miners. "We'll beat his head off." "I've had notions like that my self sometimes," assented the big Scotsman. "But I think we had all better leave Mr. Elliot to the law. He has Uncle Sani back of him in his spying, and none of us are big enough to buck the government." Crisply Macdonald spoke to Gordon, turning upon him cold, hostile eyes. "Get in if you're going to." Elliot met him eye to eye. "I've changed my mind. I'm going to walk." "That's up to you." Gordon shook hands with .Diane and Slieba, went into the house for his coat, and walked to the stable. He brought out his horse and turned it oose, then he took the road himself for Kuslak. A couple of miles out the car passea him trudging townward. As they flashed down the road he waved a cheerful and nonchalent greeting.

WILSON WOODROW There is an old fairy story, one of Grimm's, J believe, about two princesses. Whenever one of them spoke pearls and diamonds fell from hSr lips; and whenever the other opened her mouth scorpions, toads, wasps and snnkes issued. The story holds a moral. It is an illuminat ing: bit of symbolism, and clearly illustrates the value of lovely and unlovely speech. And concerning this subject a distressed mother has written me the following letter: "Dear Mrs. Woodrow: I have a daughter about seventeen years old who is employed in a good position and earning a very reasonable sal ary. But she is very unruly. If her father or her brothers or myself ask her a question, she screams at us and tells us to be quiet. The strange part of it is that all outsid ers take her to be the most gentle and affectionate of little girls. "Now 1 really don't know how to manage her. She actually insults me in company, and I, being afraid to anger her, have to shut my lips tight and keep quiet. Don't you think in acting this way she hurts herself more than she does me? Is there any way at all to cure her of this dreadful habit of impertin ence? My husband and I have tried in every possible way, but it's all of no use. "Please, Mrs. Woodrow, write an article on this subject. I shall anx iously wait for it." Poor little girl! She is under the enchantment of a disagreeable habit. And every time she speaks in the family circle a horrid little toad hops out of her mouth. She would not for the world have her employers know of this sad affliction, or her business associates or her friends. If she exhibited these toads and j scorpibns of impertinence to her em- j plovers, she would very promptly be j asked to seek another position; and | if her friends and associates caught a glimpse of them she would find j the icy shoulder turned to her on j every side. Consequently she is very j careful only to scatter the pearls and i diamonds of pleasant words among | these. But she has some way achieved the idea, or had it thrust upon her, that any sort of sneech is . good c-nougli for her relatives. She takes advantage of the situation. Whether she admits it 1o herself or not, she is aware that the family is at a dis advantage as far as she is concern ed. They cannot give her a week's salary and notify her that her place is vacant, as her employers would do. They cannot Ignore her and leave her out of their social gather ings, as her friends and acquaint ances would. They have to tolerate her and bear with her as best they can. As for speaking rudely, and disre spectfully to her mother in the pres ence of others, that is really a tact tical blunder. She has been clever enough so far to keep the toads and scorpions strictly for the family, and to scatter the pearls and diamonds abroad. But murder will out, no matter how great the effort to con ceal it. If there is an irritating spectacle on earth, it is that of the superior and complacent young person calmly correcting mother and supplement ing and explaining her remarks. If lays both mother and daughter open to criticism. The mother is cen sured for rearing her chilS so bad ly, the girl for taking such an un pardonable attitude toward her par ent. But no matter how one may de plore this unfortunate situation be tween mother and daughter, there still remains something to be said for the girl. Let us build up her character from this letter. She must l>e clever, for although still very young she already holds a good position. According to her mother's statements, outsiders, by which is probably meant friends and ac quaintances. think highly of her. Their commendation indicates lov able and attractive trails. She may have a dozen delightful qualities, and nnpnrently (the but run •Marine fault —an Irritable temper to which she gives free rein In the home. This ia undoubtedly sheer bad habit. One member of a family too often permits hir"?"tf to f"!l ir*.-> the habit of being unduly critical of the others. He get.s into the way ol saying sar castic things, of calling unnecessary attention to little faults. Almost all of us want tliosfc near and dear to us to be good and charming in our 'way, and are not willing to let them develop the\r own individualities in their own way. And so we too often censure and correct apd counsel and advise and even nag, until it becomes a habit. What has started as a tendency grows to such proportions that we would be horrified if we actually realized the disastrous habit we had acquired.* This girl has probably never rec ognized the fact that she cannot be consistently horrid to her family and retain their love and esteem. Or perhaps she thinks she doesn't care. She is no doubt, too young to under stand that, oven if the family may have the disadvantages of a close corporation with all the members pulling In different directions. It alao; has the advantages of that body. Its unspoken motto is: "All for one, and one for all!" and in time of stress or trouble the all-for-one part of it is? comforting and assuaging, and com pensates for the inconveniences of the one-for-all clause. Family life is a structure, and every member of it should feel that he or she is contributing something to this structure, something that will not only help in the upbuilding but will cement more lirmly the ties tliat bind the various members together. And each should add something beautiful and harmonious. No one wants an entirely umlecorated edi fice. "Out of my heart I build a home," is a line worth remembering. This mother writes me that she and her husband have tried in every possible way to overcome the daugh ter's ugly habit of impertinence. I wonder if she has ever tried praise. I suggest It, anyway. There are very few of us who do not respond to admiration and commendation, very few of us who do not wish to live up to the good opinion of our friends' hold of us. If this mother would praise the daughter for all of the excellent traits she discovers in her, would never hesitate to express her belief in her girl, would tell her frequent ly and freely how charming and win ning she Is and would cease to notice any evidences of irritability or bad temper, I am convinced that she would be astonished at the result. Difference Between Patience and Cowardice As an evidence of the righteous ness of America's cause in the war, I would point to the patience of our President and Congress under the long series of grave injuries and broken pledges endured by- the United States during the time that Germany was professing its friend ship fßr us. AVe were shocked to seo our property unjustly destroyed in vast quantity, but what was im measurably more serious, to read of our men, women and children killed in violation of the universally ac cepted customs of the sea. When at length not only American citi zens but neutrals everywhere suf fered appallingly under the cruelties of a nation which hesitated not to disregard international law we learned that patience was being con strued as cowardice, and that it was folly to hope that wiser counsels would prevail among our enemies to bring about a change in their law less policy. Then we took the only course open to us, the defense of our sovereign rights as a nation and the upholding of the ideals of truth and justice in the hearts of all peo ples. We have entered into the struggle with a clean conscience, seeking no territorial of financial gain, but the peace of the world, the liberty of its people, and the secur ity of all nations.—By Cardinal Gib bons.

He served in the Ninth Ohio Cavalry. After the war Dr. MoflUt returned to Harrisburg and it was here he married Miss Rebecca C. Witman, 1 daughter of John O. Witman.

I WIFE ASKS MERCY FOR HER HUSBAND He Wrote of New Democracy in Philadelphia; Enough to Drive Him Crazy The wife of Louis di Berardino, sentenced to from four to six years in the Eastern Penitentiary last March for a revolver attack on Judge Monaghan, former public service com missioner, after a court trial, to-dav made a dramatic plea for pardon for him at the meeting of the state beard. She claimed that he was in ill health and that he had committed the crime in order to center attention upon himself and establish his inno cence of a crime of which he had been accused. The case was presented by Henry M. Stevenson and J. J. Murphy, of Philadelphia, and Parole Officer Mc- Kenty spoke favorably of the pris oner's conduct. The main points were that di Berardino is sick and that he was troubled with an "exaggerated ego" and worried over the offense with which he was chcarged. Among points made by Mr. Murphy was one that di Berardino was pecu liar and that he had written a pamph let on the troubles of the new democ racy in Philadelphia, which caused Lieutenant Governor McClain to re mark that any man who tried to fol low up such vagaries seemed to be having troubles qf his own. Mr. Mur phy admitted that if he had tried to solve the problems he would have gone unbalanced too. Application for pardon for David W. Rothenseis, serving two years in the Berks county prison on ch'arges of conspiracy growing out of forma tion of companies several years ago. was opposed by District Attorney Wilson G. Rothermel. It was claimed that he was suffering from spinal trouble but admitted that he had not been in the prison hospital. His counsel said he would go to a dairy farm in New York state if released, but this brought some tart comments from the district attorney. Ex-District Attorney Harvey S. Gross, of York county, Said that if Judge Wanner, of York, who had pre sided at the trial of four men sen tenced for'throwing explosives, was favorable to a pardon he would not oppose it. When the case of Louis Wagner. Cambria, manslaughter, was heard the plea was made by his counsel that he had been drinking, but Attorney- General Brown declared that ho could hot understand why people did not resort to law against saloonkeepers who sold to intoxicated persons or n-.en of known intemperate habits be fore crimes were committed. It was practically decided to pardon tho man if .his counsel and the petitioner would agreed to look after him. The board will give decisions to night.
