In the ebb and flow of humanity no
matter how frightful and how Impres

Rut there has come also a strong
spirit of holding those to account who
deal carelessly and lightly with the
responsibility of human life and prop

nevertheless we brush this faith In the
Inevitable aside, when we find that
anyone has been guilty of falling to
fulfill with precision the one little re
sponsibility to which many other re
sponsibilities are linked.
If folks must travel and If means
of transportation are provided to meet
this necessity then It becomes neces
sary to trace responsibilities; to make
those who undertake these great en
terprises accountable for their errors
of Judgment their failure in caution
and the thousand and one pieces of
carelessness which may at any time
bring about a catastrophe.
It is significant that another hide

W» cannot see the sense, either In
condemning Mellon a* a squealer or
Clamoring for hla punishment.
It la a principle In law that the cul

Is given his life as a reward. If this
were not the system It would be an
exceedingly difficult thing to unearth
crimes and prevent their occurrence
In the future.
Mellen Is peaching, of course. He
Is squealing, of course, but why should
there be such a strong efTort to arouse
a strong personal resentment against
this man?
The Morgan and Rockefeller Inter
ests picked the kind of man they
needed for the kind of work they
agreed to do. If It had not been Mel
len, it would have been Mellen's
equivalent In another form. No con
aclentlous and acrupulotis man could
have served them.
It Is natural that Mr. J. t’lerpont
Morgan. Jr„ ahould call Mellen a liar,
but It would be more to the point for
him to offer proof of this allegation
Thla cannot be done by blackening
Mellen. however, nor by attempting to
make him the recipient of all the muck

NERVES IN THE MARRIAGE
GAME
In the Juno American Magazine n
husband, who has haii twenty-five
yoara of married life, tolls the story
of his experiences. On the subject of
nerves in the marriage relation bo
comments as follows:
“I was extremely Ignorant of women
and their ways, and more ignorant of
nerves. Indeed nerves were an Item
In the marriage relation that I never
had considered, and It was years be
fore the relation of nerves to marital
happiness became known to me.
"It takes the average man a long
time after marriage to realize that his
wife Is a human being, much like
himself, with the addtton of some
nerves, some superstitions, some pre
judices, and some finer emotions of
which he knows little or nothing. Not
many men have reached the state of
marriage In as complete ignorance of
women as I did. 1 had been rather

had scant patience with their various
manifestations, ordinarily attributing
phenomena due to nerves to other
causes."

his experiences. He comments, as
follows, on the first parting that he
and his wife endured.:
"A madrled man Is a strange crea

INDOOR SPORTS By Tad

VITAL THINGS FOR CHILDREN.
Thrift in a pansy bed brings fourten hundred dollars a year to a girl
who practiced It. She found a veritable pot of gold among the great vel
vety purple and yellow blossoms. This girl sent to France for the seeds
which she planted In August and the folowlng spring she had two hundred
plants. The next year two thousand plants were carefully cultivated, given
the right guallty of loam, and seeds were picked and transplanting done at
proper times. About the middle of November the plants are cov
ered with leaves and straw or hotbed sash, and in March they are awak
ened and her work begins. The plants and blossoms are ready for market
from about April 20th to May 30th. "Many a morning in the busy season
finds me working at four o’clock,” she said, "and not until dusk do I stop.
Two acres are used for these pansies, and last year my profit was four
teen hundred dollars. This represents labor and time for eight months in
the year."
The American Society for Thrift, through the teaching of the rudi
ments and practical application of thrift among school children, is aim
ing to put saving on a vital basis. In the schools where banking systems
have been instituted, based on self-denial and hoarding, they have
rather languished. It has also been demonstrated that the child of
poor parents is at a disadvantage beside the child of the well-to-do parents
or the pet of indulgent friends and rt'latlves. "Those who are born with
silver spoons in their mouths don’t know how to use them.”
A system of banking in use in the Brooklyn public schools has proved
more successful than any other which has been reported to the Society for
Thrift. Here the pupils themselves do the banking business, the girls and
boys acting as clerks under the direction of teachers who are known as
treasurers. The matter of expense is met In a business-like maner, the
costs of stationery and printing being met by the proceeds from a school
paper and an athletic meet, which is an established yearly event dear to
the hearts of the youngsters.
The St, Cloud. Minn., public schools have worked out a remarkable
schedule which combines thrift in the home and school in a way which
bears directly upon a pupil’s standing in his classes and earning his
diploma, as well as starting his bank account.
In St. Cloud, while the clear, concise backbone of academic work is
retained, a premium is put on manual labor and physical activities con
tinued for a specillc length of time and under prescribed conditions, vari
ous credits being given according to the work done. A parent or guar
dian certlflces to the work done and often an exhibit or an essay describing
a process is required. A few examples will show the useftilnes and the
scope of the elective outside work, for which credits are awarded; taking
care of the furnace for one winter; doing family mending for three
months; making a canoe or boat; cleaning vacant lot '.regular music prac
tice, voice or instrument; delivering milk and carrying water; making hat
or cap: making beds daily for three months; working in home or school
garden; preparing father's lunch for stated period; three months’ employ
ment as nurse; steady work on farm followed by satisfactory essay on
some agricultural subject; swimming three hundred feet at one continuous
performance; installing three or more electrical conveniences in your
mother’s home; getting up in the morning without being called for specified
time, and others.

the slxteeu-yearold South Carolina
boy who raised a 308-pound pig at a
cost of 3.3 cents a pound. Following
is an extract form the article:
"The contest was very close. Ter
ry's was not the heaviest pig, and his
average again in weight was 14.55
pounds a week, Tor the full term,
against 17.85 pounds for the boy rais
ing the heaviest. On this point Terry
scored 44 points. But the heaviest
rig cost 5.5 cents a pound, while Ter
ry's wtth a cost of 3.8, won the per
fect score of 30 points. Another boy
was too kind altogether and spent 9.2
cents a pound. Terry scored the per
fect 10 points for the ‘genearl con
dition' of his pig, so it would be un
fair to omit the fact hat, so far as he
was concerned, the ptg was perfect in
everything. The neatness and com
pleteness of Terry's reports were only
on point short of the perfect ten. He
won with score of 93 points. The pa
pers throughout the South proclaimed
the thought of the Greenville pig club
as an inspiration and Terry Dill’s vie.
