“FEARLESS LOVE."
At the close of an addresa in Uhl
c«.go tn which Mr. Bryan, with char
acteristic magnetism and impressive
ness, maintained that war could not
be ended by siege gttna or dread
naughta, but that "fearless love" wan
the one great and supreme force in
Ihtn world, a stnnll young woman
pushed forward to the platform from
which the secretary of state had spok
en, elbowed her way through Ihe sur
rounding hedge of pretwhera and com
mitteemen and presented herself be
fore Ihe somewhat daunted secretary
with Ihe clamorous announcement that
she whs u long lost cousin. Mr. ilryun
confessed himself In courteous hut cer
tain terms to he uninformed of the re.
lattonshlp and unacquainted with her
by name or appearance.
"But It is true! oh, Mr. Bryan, I'm
just going to hug you!"
Her arms reached for the brave Ne
braskan's neck, hut he caught them
before they had completed Ihe circle.
"Not until ihe relationship has been
better established," he said, holding
her away from him and then hurrying
from the platform.
With due respect for the secretary
of state we would point out that the
Incident 1h rather rich In its lessons.
In the first place, the secretary's Im
mediate resort to force tn protecting
himself from this onslaught of "fear
less love" suggests that without arms
for defense he would have een In a
pretty plight. By the warmth of his
Impassioned appeal for "fearless love"
he had unwarily drawn to him a lit
tle lady who felt Ihe call of kinship,
not decorously, hut too well. Had not
wise nature given him the power for
quiet resistance he might have be
come an unhappy victim of his own
eloquence, working upon an untutored
and emotional personality. As It was,
with the quiet dignity, which comes
of power, he was enabled to realat
and master the situation. There was
no struggle, no difficulty tn repelling
the attack. If Mr. Bryan had had no
arms hts position would have been
truly embarrassing. No nmouut of
fearless love would have sufficed him.
Perhaps tt may be that this symbolic
incident may Illumine him as to the
necessity, both of arms and heart In
maintaining peace.
The I'nlled Mates will do well to ac
cept Mr. Hryau's suggestions In the
matter of acting with Christian prin
ciples for the preservation of peace,
hut tn our complex relationships
throughout life It ts as well to Ire pre
pared for misinterpretations and im
practical experiments Mr ltrysn has
had demonstrated to hint In quite a
remarkable way the dual, not to sav
multiple, powers of arms. Let us
hope he may com* to realise that It Is
quite as Important for hls country to
be provided with the power of resist
ance as the power of attraction.

OSCAR AND THE RING.
Onto upon a time there wan a little
bey named Oucar. Ho was deformed,
and hls two sisters with whom he
lived were ashamed of him.
They were very naughty girls, and
when their father died he left his
wealth to he divided between the three
children, thinking that the daughters
would he kind to Oscar.
Hut no sooner was their father bu
ried than the sisters left Oscar alone,
and they traveled In a foreign coun
try.
They left enough money to keep him
from starving, and Oscar lived alone
with one faithful servant who would
not leave him.
One day Oscar was looking through
some things that had belonged to his
father and found a curious looking
gold box. It was small, and on the
cover was the figure of a. dragon. Its
eyes were of garnets and they seemed
to twinkle as he held It In his hand.
He opened the box and on the crim
son lining he saw a ring. It was of
4VT AT
Ai/ AC* *
dull gold color and the body of a dra
gon formed the ring, while Its head
was the netting, and In the top of It
was a large emerald. The eyes were
garnets like the ones on the outside of
the box.
Oscar looked with admiration at the
beautiful stones, and as he looked into
Its depths he seemed to see a strange
country where there were people
wearing turbans draped around their
I heads and robes of white.
Then the scene changed and he saw
!n land where the people wore fur gar
| ments and were drawn on sleds by
many dogs.
Oscar became so Interested that he
forgot nil about how unhappy he had
been. He turned the ring over in his
I hand amt finally slipped it on hts
THE WAYS OF THRIFT

ommendation ha* been made by the
I Commission on National Aid to Voca

various states with a view toward
training people in agricultural and In
dustrial lines, each state being re
luulred to expend for the same pur

finger. fin felt a queer tingle through
hls hotly as he did so, and suddenly he
felt strong and his back began to
straighten.
Oscar Jumped up from the floor,
where he sat and found he was tall.
He went to a mirror and looked at
himself, and Instead of the deformed
sickly boy he had been he was a
handsome youth.
Oscar looked at the ring again. "It
must me a magic ring,” he said. "I
wonder where it came from?”
When the servant saw Oscar he was
so amazed that he could not speak
for a minute, and when Oscar showed
him the ring and told him wlmt he
hud seen In the wonderful emerald
and how It had changed his poor, de
formed body to one that was strong
and well, the old man spoke.
"That ring was given to your father
In India," he said, "by. an old man
whom he saved from a band of rob
bers.
"We were traveling through the
country, and wo took care of him until
hls friends came for hint. When he
parted from your father he gave him
this ring ami told him If ever he were
In trouble to put the ring on the fore
finger of hls left hand, turn his face
to the east, and all hls troubles would
disappear and prosperity would follow
him the rest of hls life."
Oscar had the ring on hls right
hand, and he changed It and turned
his face toward the east.
A sound of distant rumbling was
heard, and the old servant held fast to
Oscar’s arm; the house trembled and
the hall was dark.
Suddenly there was a flash of light
and Oscar saw tn front of him a man
wearing a white* robe and a turban
He bowed low before Oscar and said:
"You are now a prince of India, and
this Is your place. Your faithful ser
vant beside you Is all that remains of
your old life." The man disappeared
as he finished speaking and Oscar
looked about. He was in a gorgeously
colored room dressed In the costume
of a prince. He wandered through
the rooms of the palace; each one was
more beautiful than the other.
One tiny when Oscar was riding
along the road attended by hls many
servants In their gorgeous trappings
he saw two ladies passing. They were
hls sisters who had forsaken him.
They gnzed In admiration at the
prince and never for a moment
thought tt was their poor little
brother.
Oscar took two pearls from a neck
lace which he wore and sent them to
hls sisters by one of hls servants.
11c never saw them again, but ho
felt he had treated them better than
they had treated him, and he lived
happily In his palace In the land where
It is always summer, beloved by all
who knew him. for he sought out the
poor and lonely and helped them with
hla vast wealth.

All-day school, part-time schools
and evening schools are proposed by
the commission. The Instruction Is
designed to meet the vocational needs
of person* over 14 years of age. There
are in this country 4,500,000 persons
between the ages of 14 and IS who
are not in school, having left to enter
the ranks of the breadwinner*. Nearly
2,000,000 of these are children under
10 years of age, the large majority
of whom have left school before com
pleting •ttulr elementary education,
and are therefore handicapped by the
lack of schooling either for success
ful wage-earning or for Intelligent cit
ixenshlp These young people are
neither prepared to choose a vocation
IrtelUgenlly nor to follow It with suf
ficient prospect of future advance
ment, because the schools have as
sumed no responsibility for their pre
paration for employment they
must become wage-earners, and" have
not provided for continued tralrtng

through part time schooling after
they have gone to work.
In summing up the results which
may he expected from the all-day in
dustrial schools the report gives the
following:
1. The retention in school longer
of hoys and girls who now leave be
cause of their laek of interest.
2. A wiser choice of a vocation be
cause of an opportunity to test the
ability and discover likes and dis
likes.
3. Greater certainty of success in a
vocation iieeause of the development
of a more definite purpose in life, of
an increased industrial intelligence, of
an insight into the fundamental prin
ciples of n trade, and the acquisition
of sufficient skill to shorten the period
of apprenticeship.
4. A greater readiness to profit by
part timo or evening instruction for
the sake of future advancement or
promotion.
Clearly the problem of the public
schools is to provide schools which
will meet the needs of the children
Whom the present schools are not
reaching effectively, and to offer
courses suitable to their Interests and
abilities. A system of education which
does not provide all-day schools for
boys and girls who desire training for
art industrial pursuit before entering
it may Justly be charged with driving
them out of the schools and into the
factories and workshops. Of the 12,-
6.59,203 persons engaged in agriculture
in the United States, more than 12,-
000,000 have not been trained to make
the soil produce what it should. And
of the 12,261,376 personal engaged in
manufacturing and mechanical pur
suits, not one in a hundred has had
adequate training.
SHOWER BATHS AND
HAIR CUTTING IN THE
FRENCH TRENCHES
Paris.—Hot shower baths actually
in the trenches is the feat nerformed
by a French military engineer. An
Infantry officer fighting near Neyon
writes home to hls wife of the unique
bath as follows:
Yea, my dear, we are at last clean.
Thanks to the ingenuous handiwork of
X the engineer officer whom
mother knows by name quite well, we
can ail of us take between ten and
twelve every morning a copious hot
shower hath. Would it not aggravate
the “Booties” if they know? For the
shower bath Is Installed right In the
line of trenches. Imagine a great pit
ahont six yards in diameter paved and
walled with white porcelain-faced
bricks taken from n well-ruined house
nearby and covered with a roof of gal
vanized iron which is in turn protect
ed by a thick layer of earth on which
green corn is sprouting.
On the roof we have placed nn en
ormous cistern. Pipes from the cistern

fitted with taps traverse the roof and
are terminated by the roses of four
watering pits. Next the cistern is a
brick furnace with a boiler where the
water is heated.
Underneath, next to t*he bath room,
there are cabins In which one can un
dress. wjth a stove to heat them and
a cubicle with pegs to hang up one’s
uniform.
This morning I had a hath, the first
since I left. I can tell you that 1
needed It. All the generals came to
see it—the bath room, I mean; not
me bathing. But that is not all. We
have also a hair-cutting and shaving
saloon in the trenches.
