so necessary to success.
But isn't it better to kuow your
weaknesses than to belblind to them.
Diagnosis precedes care.
Isn't it oetter to huve tried once and
failed than never to have tried at all?
Strongth comes of effort.

or a day evon— of sobriety for your

wife aud children,to have had a clear

PENSION FOR EX-PRESIDENTS.
Bill Raising Salar / to $78,000 and
Providing $25,000 a Year on
Retirement.
Washington, Jan, 7. —Remember-
ing to what financial straits some
Presidents have been reduced after
their retirement from office, Repre
sentative Maynard, Democrat, Vir
ginia, yesterday introduced a bill in
creasing the salary of the President to
$75,000 a year, and the Vice Presi
dent from SB,OOO to $15,000, the
new rate to be in effect after March
4.
Provision for the ease and comfort
of the President when he retires from
! office is contained in the second «ec
i tion. It gives him a salary of $25,-
j 000 a year as long as he lives.
! Mr. Maynard, being a Democrat,
! believes it is more fitting that he
i should introduce such a bill than that
a Republican should do so.

The Chaperon at Home and Abroad.
A writer in THE NEW IDEA WO
MAN'S MAGAZINE for February con
cludes that the English custom of
chaperoning girls has its raisou d'etre
not so much iu the necessity of pro*
tccting the girls as in the desiie to
meet the requirements of the aristo
cratic classes by conforming to con
ventions. The Knglish girl, it ap
pears, docs not go unchaperoncd, be
cause "her doing so would be taken
us an Indication that she was not ao
customed to good society and didn't
know the proper thing." It is also
stated that although thU custom la
rigidly observed. English women
and girls of spirit rather resent, on
the whole, the curtailing of their
liberty, and ''are unanimous in prais
ing the healthful freedom and more
natural conditions that obtaiu in the
States." Yot observant people on
this side of the wuter may see yearly
a growing emulation of things social
as practiced by the older nations, so
much go that even our "healthful
freedom" and "natural conditions"
will have to be carefully guarded if
they are to be preserved in their
simplicity.
Sooaa'a Name.
Some one has discoveied how
I'hllip Sousa got his name. The story
cjrnes from Washington, where the
musician was born. Originally, it is
■aid, his name was John Philip So,
When he entered the employ of the
government as leader of the Marine
Uitnd he proudly appended the ini
tials "U. S. A.," for United States
Army, so that his full signature read,
• John Philip So, U. S. A." A stranger
congratulating him upon a perform
ance of the band, addressed him as
John Philip Sousa," and his name
has been Sousa ever since.
