IHAPPMNGSI 1 BKjOTP WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL CLASSICS By MARGARET BOYD "... the King Will bind thee by such vows as Is a shame, A man should not be bound by, yet the which No man can keep." Idylls of the King. In view of the seer's statement that no man could keep the half dozes vows that Arthur required of his knights, It Is Interesting to consider Benjamin Franklin's experiment In perfection. Franklin tells us that when he was a young man. he "concelv'd the bold and arduous project of arriving at moral perfection." He listed thirteen virtues "all that at that time oecurr'd to me as necessary or desirable." The thirteen were: temperance, silence, order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, Justice, moderation, cleanll-nes- s, tranquillity, chastity and humil-ity a longer list than Arthur required of his knights and a more difficult. Franklin felt he could not hope for success In his project unless be could make each of these virtues a habit. He knew he could not form so many habits at once, so he devoted a week at a time to each virtue. The first week he tried to make temperance a habit; the second week silence; and so on through the list. When he had finished his thirteen weeks, he started In again with temperance, thus going through his course four times a year. In time he felt it necessary to go through the course but once a year, later but once in several years, and finally not at all. He made himself a little book of thirteen pages, allotting one page to each virtue. He ruled each page with a column for each day of the week and a line for each virtue of the list. Each night he reviewed his life of the day, and marked a black spot In his book for each offense of the day, Franklin says he acquired the vlr-- tues In an imperfect state, having had especial trouble with order and humil-ity. He, however, attributes all his success In life to the measure of vir-tue he did acquire through this experi-ment, together with the blessing of Ood. Franklin planned to embody his own experience in a sort of textbook of life, to be called "The Art of Virtue," a book that "would have shown the means and manner of obtaining vir-tue, which, would have distinguished it from the mere exhortation to be good, that does not Instruct and Indicate the means"; but private and public busi-ness kept him so busy he never got his book written. "It's what I think to myself some-times, as there need nobody run short o' victuals if the land was made the most on, and there was never a mor-sel but what could find its way to a mouth." Silas Marntr. When political reformers and polit-ical economists speak of this subject, they use the terms "production" and "distribution." One faction says no one would need go hungry If all the land were made the most of. They say the reason some people never get enough to eat Is because there Isn't enough food In the world to go around that Is, they say the fault is with production. These people believe that there should be so heavy a tax on land that no one could afford to own any waste land. They believe that If taxes were assessed according to the number of acres a man owns Instead of according to the assessed value of the land he owns that no man could afford to own more land that he could farm Intensively. They believe that the present owners of large farms and ranches would have to sell their land to men who would farm It as Intensive-ly as th European peasant farms his little plot. These people believe that when all the land In the country Is properly cultivated everybody will have enough to eat. They forget the natural law recorded by Solomon centuries ago, "When goods Increase, thev are Incrensed that eat them " The other faction says the fault Is with distribution. They say there Is plenty of food in the world If we could Just get It to those that need It. We can appreciate this phase of the problem when we go Into any average kitchen. The common statement Is that the American family throws Into the garbage can enough to feed the Fniropenn family. Certainly the scraps of bread thrown away, the gravy and sauce left sticking to the sides of the kettles and pans, the peelings so thick as to waste the vegetable or fruit, the butter container with butter stick-ing to It, the hones filled with mnr-row- , and the scraps of fat meat thrown away are nil wastes of food. On every farm there are windfalls, fruit that the farmer cannot sell. In the fields are potatoes too small to gather; heads of cabbage too small to market or to store for winter use; to-matoes that would spoil before they could be sold; and the like. If we could stop all waste In kitchen and store and field, the food saved would certainly go fur towards feeding all those who now go hungry.

Announcement of the deal, Issued by James Simpson, president of Marshall Field & Com-pany, follows : "Marshall Field & Company has pur-chased the stock of merchandise of Rothschild & Company, together with Its store buildings, leaseholds, equip-ment and good will. The net purchase price approximates $9,000,000. It Is a cash transaction, $0,400,000 being paid at once, $1,000,000 by the assumption of the existing mortgage on the State street buildings, and the balance as soon as certain adjustments between the parties have been made and satis-fle- There will be no public financing In connection with the transaction." The assets acquired by Mnrshall Field & Company were transferred to a new subsidiary corporation, the Davis Dry Goods company. C. E. Davis, for many years president of Rothschild & Company, Is head of the new store. Arthur Davis, who has for many years been associated with Marshall Field & Company's wholesale store as a department managei-- and mill super-visor, Is vice president. The new com-pany will be managed and operated In-dependently of the Marshall Field & Company retail stores. The bulk of the stock In Rothschild ft Company was purchased from the heirs of the late Nelson Morris, foun-der of the packing firm of Morris ft Company, which was recently merged with Armour ft Company. The large interest of the Morris family In Roths-child ft Company results from Inheri-tance and marriage. Nelson Morris, founder of the packing business, left more than 5,000 shares In the depart-ment store when he died In 1908. One of his daughters, Augusta, was the wife of A. M. Rothschild, by whom the store was founded. His widow married Maurice L. Rothschild, a cousin of her former husband and head of the clothing concern which bears his name at Stute street and Jackson boulevard. Mrs. Rothschild died a year ago, leaving the bulk of her estate to her son, Melville N. Rothschild. The Morris Interest In the store, as It stood before the sale, was divided between Ira Nelson Morris and Mrs. Hubert Martlneau, children of Nelson Morris, the Augusta Rothschild estate and the estate of Edward AUrris. With 4,000.000 automobiles made this year, the value of an occasional smash-u-p becomes apparent In boosting next year's business.

Why Physicians Favor Lubrication Medical science, through knowledge of the intestinal 4 tract gained by X-ra- y observation, has found at last in lubrication a means of overcoming constipation. The gentle, lubricant, Nujol, penetrates and softens the hard food waste and thus hastens its passage out of the body. Thus Nujol brings internal cleanliness. Nujol it used in leading hoipitali and it prescribed by phyiician throughout the world. Nujol it not a medicine of laxative and cannot gripe.

Sir Charles Bell, NEW has returned after a sojourn in Tibet, re-ports that while at Samding, last year, he had tea with a goddess. She Is not a common goddess, either, but ranks as an Incarnation of a Bud-dhist deity and as such Is the highest ledy In the land. She rules over a monastery of C9 monks, who believe she can convert them Into pigs whenever she likes. Her vaunted power Insures her not only high social position, but an Income as well. Sir Charles says he was the first white man to visit the "goddess." The Tibetan explorer describes the goddess as about twenty-fou- r years old, with a pensive mien and an air of quiet dignity. In accordance with Tibetan custom, the hostess and guest exchanged presents. Sir Charles described the great prayer service of the Lamas, at which 12,000 monks nsslsted. These officiates were divided into sections and placed wherever room could be found for them. At various places priests were stationed, armed with stout poles eight or nine feet long and some six Inches In circumference. One of them be-labored a monk who was not taking a proper part in the religious service. The Dalai Lama, Sir Charles said, Ii the chief Buddhist monk of Tibet and rules an area of some half a million square miles. There are no railways, no roads, and no motorcars In his do-main. It Is a land of mountain, desert and unbrldged rivers; a land of snow, and Ice, and blizzards. The last ten days of the second Tibetan month, corresponding with the early part of April, are taken up by a festival known as the Tsoncho or "The Offerings of the Assembly." , One of the rites of this festival Is a con jest between the Da-lai Lama and tliJ devil. If the devJJ wins, evil will triilmph during the next year and the pimple of Tibet will suffer. Should the Dalai Lama load his dice and win the match, the year will be one of bounty and happiness for his subjects. The devil's delegate In the match Is the Serpent King, who wears a long coat of white goatskin and a long peaked hat, and carries In his right hand the black tall of a yak. The Scandinavian countries have not had a war for 100 years. : But In all that time they have had nothing any other country wanted.

Kin and Riches Find Pencil Peddler IUT, WIS. Henri de GREEN aged scion of a family, Is here, far from the curbstone pencil marts of Chicago. Forsaking the Cathedral Shelter home at 850 Wash-ington boulevard, where a cot was his castle and desolate old men his only companions, he Is with his long-los- t family. M. de la Motte's forthcoming heri-tage of more than a million dollars (es-timated) due him from an ancient es-tate in Chantllly, France led to the reunion here In the home of a daugh-ter, Mrs. Fred Leldgen. As one of three heirs to this fortune, he had been sought for some time. He Is seventy-fou- r years old. It was more than a quarter of a cen-tury ago, when he was forty-seve-that SI. de la Motte disappeared from his home in Milwaukee. His wife and four small daughters looked for him In vain. Later they grew tired of wait-ing and watching. The daughters mar-ried and moved away. One of them died. Their father himself was given up as dead. Here they met again. There was Mrs. Leldgen and her husband, and Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Gegere, and Sirs. Harriet H. Scott of New York, widow of Judge Robert Walker Scott, who conducted the search for her fa-ther. There were three granddaugh-ters, Stlss Audrey George, Sirs. A. J. Slayhugh and Mrs. John Rnrton. whom the old man had never seen. And there was one Lauretta Rarton. One other person was present the old man's wife, whom he had left 27 years before. She sat on a piano bench and stured at her hushand and giggled. Eighty-fou- r years old Is Mrs. de la Motte, but she chattered like a girl. Sirs, de la Slotte and her children and her children's children listened to the story of Henri's life In Chicago. They shook their heads over the spec-tacle of a De la Slotte selling pencils in the days of ebbing fortune. Hut they nodded their heads In ap-proval when the old man proudly pro-claimed : "I have kept the honor of the family untarnished. Henri de la Sloite was never so reduced In estate that he begged, borrowed or stole a penny In bis entire life." Refusal of aid to the Russian govern-ment Is no Implied criticism of the Rus-sian people, who have nothing to do with the Russian government except to pay its bills.
