Sheriff jumps into an emergency and by simply applying the powers of his oMce finds himself famous. “There should be no reason for such a state of affairs. If every pub- lfc official did his duty promptly, en- ergetically and to the full extent of his powers, a performance such as that of Kinkead would cause no more comment than a declaration of war on Germany by Col. re Roopevelt. “However, we are now in a day when the favorite indoor and outdoor sport of public officials, and a great majority of men holding subordinate positions in private life is passing the buck. Sliding along the responsi- bility for a mistake or slipping the execution of an unpleasant task to another has reached the status of an art. “Kinkead tried to pass the buck at first, not because he lacked nerve, perhaps, but because he thought the situation demanded the presence of the militia. When the Governor turned him down he formed himself into an army and moved on the enemy from two sides, Therefore he is looked upon as a hero, There is no doubt that he is an unusual public official, “Justice John Ford furnishes an- other instance of a public official with nerve and an overpowering sense of adherence to duty. Al- though his opinion shows that he could have done nothing else under the law than deny Becker a new trial well, he might have written anoth- kind of an opinion, Skilled in the law and its forms nd phraseology as he is he could have made an order granting Becker @ new trial and passed the buck to the Court of Appeals. He must have felt the growing spirit of sympathy for Becker that prevailed while he was studying the case. Many a jus- tice of the Supreme Court would have heeded that epirit and passed the re- 6e' sponsibility along." BARRA RAR amen i “S cago has already brought aster. js any means provided for crossing.

This humble apothecary's clerk, who lived in obscurity and died with- out dreaming of the posthumous honor that would attach to his name, was Max Schneckenburger. This may be said to be the semi- centenary of “Die Wacht am Rhein” as the real, if unofficial, national an- them of the Germans, for it was just fifty years ago that the anthem leaped into popularity when sung by the League of German Singers at Dres- den. Previows attempts to popularize the hymn had practically failed, but at Dresden it was greeted with up- roarious applause, and from that city it spread through all the German states. Franco-Prussian War made it more popular than ever, for it became the marching song of the victorious Teuton troops. Max Schneckenburger, who wrote the words, was a native of Thalheim, Wurttemberg. He wrote the poem in 1640, when he was working as an apothe y's assistant in Berne, Switzerland. At that time there wa much talk of war between France and Prussia and German song-writers were turning out anthems by the score, “Die Wacht am Rhein” was lost in this mass of patriotic hymns and attracted little attention Schneckenburger died in 1849 anu no attention sing attracted 4, however, and the er of “Die Wacht am i the attention of Car Wilhelm, a composer of little note, who made a living as a_Itedertafo der.

After this “Die Wacht am Rhein’ again lapsed into obscurity for a dec- ade, only to be revived by the League of German Singers in Dresden in 1865, Carl Wilhelm, the composer ot the music, died in 1873, shortly after the Imperial Government had granted him a pension of 3,000 marks per year. Wilhelm lived to hear the song shouted by a multitude of marching men, but poor Schneckenburger was denied all knowledge of the greatness of his work. Everyday Perplexities Oopgrigat, 1915, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World), Children’s Manners. HE American child is the most ill bred youngster in the world,” said a certain famous foreigner who was here a year or 89 ago. ‘When I heard this I was every bit as indignant as you are now. But after I had thought about the matter for a little while and had called to mind certain unpleasant experiences at summer hotels, on trains and even in friends’ houses I came sadly to the conclusion that perhaps the distin- guished man, whom at first I sid- ered merely spiteful, might after all a tew facts on his side. ‘are so anxious to have our chil- enjoy themselves, to give them ‘a “good time” when they are young and to have their Individuality assert itself, that often we do not stop to consider that what we call “individ- uality” is sometimes only selfishness and bad manners, Etiquette is not a more or less meaningless formula for tho use of adults only. Good breeding cannot be assumed when one reaches the age of twenty-one. The time to learn courtesy is in early youth. It 1s impossible for a child to real- ize that his after life will be made smoother, simpler and easier by pleasant manners; so politeness must early be taught by the parents, until It becomes second nature. “But politeness !s so artificial,” I hear some one object. Not always, There is certainly such a thing as the natural courtesy that springs from an unselfish disposition; but even this 1s more agreeable if it has been given a little training. Good manners are after all only proper self control and a respect for the rights of others. ‘The first lesson naturally comes at that early age when the little tot tries to take whatever he wants re- gardiess of the claims of others. It is, of course, perfectly natural for a child to do this; and the impulse of parents and guardians is to indulge it. ee But if this is done it is only layina up trouble for the child in later years. For a human being cannot begin tov young to learn a proper self control Even very young children should t taught table manners. When the litt folk begin to feed themselves is the time to begin. fundamentals of the management of the knife and the ferk and the spoon and the cup ar demonstrated, 1 lesson of eating slowly and daintily and of drinking quietly and of sudduing all boister- ousness at table should be carefully inculcated, It is also important to teach children how to greet strangers, and never to allow them to be remiss in this re- spect through shyness or carelessness, Such training is much more impor tant than most people realize, for 6! ness is a serious handicap which ca’ be very easily overcome in early youth, But once let the habit of shy- ness grow upon a child, and even iv it be thrown off in after life, it will surely leave its tra in @ certain or an occasional awkwardness, Forwardness and pertness are even worse than shyness, though, fortun- ately, outgrown much more easily, A child should be taught to pay proper respect to elders; to offer his chair when a woman enters the room; not to break into the conversation of older people; not to push and shove his way through any crowded place, not to race and yell on hotel plazzas, thereby disturbing dozens of perfectly innocent strangers who have done him no harm, Well bred little folk have just as much fun as do children whose actions are so unrestrained that they are # nuisance to everybody. Usually the po- lite children have a much better time, for they are always prime favorites with young and old alike and all the world seems to go out of the way to do them favors, It is rather a fad now- adays to teach little girls to courtesy when greeted by their elders, but as the child approaches her twelfth ear she ceases to do this and greets adults as her brother does, by shaking hands or by saying “How do you do?” in ex- actly the same way that she will con- tinue to do as long as she lives.
