WHEN IS A PROMISE NOT A
PROMISE?
It is amusing, a3 far as not painful
to a normal conscience, to witness
the wriggling among the Democratic
leaders and newspapers of Missouri
over the presidential indorsement em
bodied in the platform adopted by
their last state, convention. The dec
laration of preference was not brief
or perftnctory. It occupied consider
able space and was warm, not to say
lavish, in terms of praise. -'Circumstances
have changed' appears to be
the Democratic keynote now in this
case, days the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The indorsement was not bind
ing anyhow, say some including ihe
temporal y chairman of the conven
tion, who conceives that h's horizon
has widened, and that he is now him
self a presidential possibility. Those
who read the plank of approval with
out bias will ag-ee that it eas the
appearance of " '.ainestness, and not
that of a mere passing flourisn Cer
tain politicians favored it as an equi
valent for something they wanted for
tl-.emsehes later cn. but if it was only
a shadow they should not be too sure
that they can, as a consequence, map
the substantial for themselves.
Somebody was fooled by it and val
uable time wasted. One argument
heard now is that the question should
properly be referred to all the Demo
crats of the state. Sanguine, indeed,
is any member of the party who fan
cies that the matter will ever reach
that tribunal. Politicians will get in
their work in 1912 just as happaned
in the state convention of 1910 when
they were in pursuit of something
else. Was the indorsement serious?
Was it gammon or just monkey busi
ness? Were hidden motives or de
ceit back of it? Is the insincerity less
now than then? Democratic papers,
debating the question on moral
grounds, seem as wise and solemn as
owls, but any person of intelligence
can detect the essential features of
bunco. When Benedick declared he
would die single he did not think he
would live to be married. He spoke
jestingly, and knew that his com
panions could see a joke. But tliU
Democratic discussion over the in
dorsement assumes to be profoundly
grave and dignified, though the mark
ed cards up the sleeve are visible all
the time.

URING the past ten years we have advanced to new stand
ards of morality and of conduct, and it is well that we have
done so as long as the new standards are wholesome and
conducive to our well being. In that time we have changed
more than our ancestors during the early Christian era changed in an
entire " century. CONDITIONS ARE DIFFERENT AND DE
MAND DIFFERENT STANDARDS OF CONDUCT. We are
growing better constantly, and no law can hinder this betterment.
But LAWS CAN BE CHANGED TO MEET THE NEW CON
DITIONS of life only as a result of a change in the social conception
of right and wrong.
This sense of social justice must precede any change in the law.
Only by recognizing this fact can the judges, who, after all is said and
done, create most of our best laws rather than the legislature, keep
abreast of the timeand command the respect of the people.
THE TIME IS COMING, AND THAT VERY SHORTLY, WHEN IT
WILL BE REALIZED THAT THE OLD CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED 8TATES, FRAMED OVER A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, IS EN
TIRELY OUT OF PATE.
When does a standpatter become a

Another suggestion to the girls is
that they do their leap year propos

$100,000 for a Christmas gift.
Mexico has gone four days with

Governor Osborn of Michigan, be

cial pikers, at any rate.

DO IT TODAY.
When you urge the Mexican to make
a decision or close up the business deal
he squirms, shows his teeth and ex
claims: "Manana!" which means tomorrow.
Although he lives in the most fertile
zone of the world, that habit of mind
has made the Mexican a poor man.
And there are others. Many of us
lose out in life because of the disposi
tion to put off until tomorrow what
should be done today. We say, for in
stance: Tomorrow I will decide.
Tomorrow I will begin.
Tomorrow I will reform.
Tomorrow I will be happy.
When tomorrow comes, alas, we do
not decide, we do not begin, we do not
reform, we are not happy, because
The habit persists.
It is fatal to initiative and resolute
action. When the habit Is indulged it
becomes easy to say to oneself: Tc
morrow I will come to a final stand In
the matter; tomorrow I will start the"
business going; tomorrow I will speak
the word of kindnesss; tomorrow I will
be happy. And thus we go on. We
"Resolve and resolve, then die the
same."
Begia now. Today is the day of sal
vation. If thinking is required, think;
if action is required, act; if change of
habit is required, reform.
Strike now! The iron is red.
Whether it be the plowing of a field,
or the selling of merchandise, or
launching the boat, or, courting the
it now. You may make a mis
take. Well, yon may make a mistake
tomorrow, and if you make the mis
take today there is all of tomorrow to
begin over.
Plunge in. Do not stand shivering on
the brink and fear to launch away.
The water may be a little cold, but It
may be colder tomorrow. "Come on in:
the water's fine."
Let the Mexican say "Manana." You
will fare much better if you will do the
thing today.
I need not remind you of the mis
takes you have made, the chances
missed, the deals that got away, the de
cisions that were too late, the reforms
that never materialized, all because of
putting things off. You know.
Somewhat Different.

AS a Christmas gift Rufus Burcham, a life prisoner in the state peniten
tiary, received a pardon at the hands of Governor Judson Harmon of
" Ohio. It was granted, however, only after the man (who had been
convicted of complicity In a murder in which he was afterward shown
to have had no part) had promised Mrs. Harmon that be would abstain from
strong drink and lead an upright life. Mrs. Harmon, who was the talented
daughter of an Ohio physician, takes a keen interest in her husband's work
and particularly in the applications for executive clemency that come to him.
Her social life has been a busy one. both in Cincinnati and in Washington,
where s!ie and ber daughters were well known and popular figures. The pho
tograph here reprotlni-ed shows her with a-favorite niece.
An Orange
By IVAN WITKOWSKY
The Countess Melikoff was sitting in
her boudoir in Moscow, Russia, when
the card of Colonel Michalovsky was
banded her. She directed the servant
to admit him.
"My dear countess," he said, "I have
come to ask a favor. Knowing you to
be intimate with the imperial family,
that the empress esteems you highly, 1
should be obliged if you would use your
influence to secure for my nepbew a
commission in the navy."
"Colonel, you overrate my Influence
I am not often bidden to the palace.
Indeed, I fancy I have been forgotten
there."
"How can that be when Grand Duke
V. is to dine with you this evening."
"Who told you that?"
"Why. the duke's movements are al
ways known. He informs the police
of his engagements in order that they
may provide for his safety."
"Do the police consider publishing
his whereabouts providing for his
safety?"
"They have not published his com
ing here. I was conversing with one
of the police officials about securing
my nepbew an appointment in the
army. This man knows of my ac
quaintance with you and said to me:
'Grand Duke V. dines with the count
ess today. If yon see her and ask her
influence In the matter she will un
doubtedly secure a promise of the ap
pointment while he is at the table.' "
"Well, my dear colonel. I am willing
to oblige you if I find an opportunity,
but you must not rely too much npon
me. I wish you were to be a member
of our dinner party. I would Invite
you except that the grand duke, as
you know, must have a list before
hand of other guests wherever he goes,
and now there is not time."
"I have no especial desire to meet
him. But since you are to grant me
this favor is there nothing I can do
for you?"
"Nothing that I think of."
"I have Just received a box of fruit
from the south. Would you like some
for your table?"
"Indeed I would. Fruit at this sea
son Is not to be had."
"I will bring it before the dinner Is
over." .
"Can you not send It?"
"Send it! No. Do you suppose I
would trust a servant with what can
not be bought for love or money? He
would eil her eat .it or sell it and say
that be had been robbed. I shall
bring it myself. - What o'clock will
your dinner be served?"
"At half past a We shall be ready
for fruit by half past 9. The grand
duke does not like to sit long at table;
he is a very busy man."
Michalovsky left her shortly before
the dinner hour.
"So the police told my cousin that,
did they? I know better. The police
do not tell such secrets. Alexis got It
elsewhere. But where? He certainly
could not have got it from any of the
duke's household. The colonel would
not use it for any other purpose than
the pretended one. But the duke's life
is in danger every moment from revo
lutionists, and if it Is known that he
is to dine with me tonight he may be
assassinated either coming or going.
I will send a messenger suggesting
that he stay away."
She wrote n note stating that his ex
pected visit " was known and begged
him n.)t in 4-onie Hut he replied in
,u wminMiv (iMiiinin 'i;iiii..iiiu.iiijjw.Mwijwa
"Ah, countess." he said gallantly, "do
you suppose fear would cause me to
forego the pleasure of dining with
you?"
"Did nothing happen on the way?"
"Nothing."
"But I fear for your return."
"Banish it from your mind. I am
here to enjoy a pleasant evening with
you. Let us throw fear to the winds."
They dined together, and during the
dinner the countess asked the duke for
the appointment as she had promised.
"At whose request do you ask me for
this favor?" he said after promising
the commission.
"My cousin. Colonel Alexis Michalov
sky." "Colonel Michalovsky?"
"Yes. Do you know him?"
"Only as colonel of a regiment"
At the moment a dish of exquisite
cut glass was brought in on which
was mellow fruit, surmounted by a
large orange. The dish was set on
the table between the two, and the
countess was taking the orange from
the top of the pyramid when the serv
ant said to her:
"Colonel Michalovsky ' begs that he
may speak to you a moment. It is
about the appointment He wishes to
change his request"
But the countess did not hear. On
taking up the orange she noticed a
small spot where it had been plucked
from the tree. She held the orange
under her nose aod noticed a pecul
iar odor. Tben suddenly she saw a
tiny flash sucb as might come from
the fuse of a firecracker. There was
beside ber a finger bowl that bad been
placed on the table with the fruit.
The countess quick as a flash im
mersed the orange In the water. White
as a cloth, she told the duke to run for
his life.
"Not while yon sit still." be said.
When the bomb was out open by the
police it was found to be an orange
skin Ailed wttb nitroglycerin. The fuse
bad burned within 'an eighth of an
Inch of the contents.
Colonel Michalovsky tried to escape,
but was caught and sent to Siberia.
Salt Sold by Postmaster.
At Bevieux (Old Bex), among the
Alps, the railroad passes the rock salt
mines from which the Swiss govern
ment procures most of the salt whose
sale is a government monopoly and
often sold only by the local postmaster,
who deals not only In stamps, but in
salt. At this point a toothed rail is
brought into play, and the gradient
rapidly increases, as the cars pass
through woods of walnuts and chest
nuts, here an important Item of the
diet and income of their owners.

CHARITY.
How difficult it is to be wisely
charitable to do good without mul
tiplying the sources of evil! To
give alms is nothing unless you give
thought also. A little thought and
a little kindness are often worth
more than a great deal of money.
Flattened Out.
Hevlwayte I thought of a very fun

flat as a pancake.

Card Etiquette.
Leaving cards instead of calling Is
the usual procedure after going to en--tertainments.
In this case there is no
necessity to ask if the hostess is at
home, but there is one exception to
this rule, and that is a dinner party,
after which the guest usually makes a
call on the hostess, and it Is only In the
event of the hostess not being at home
that cards are left .
A" husband's cards are left In any
case unless the husband accompanies
bis wife In making the call.
When a married lady calls on a wid
ow she leaves one of her own cards on
not finding her at home and one of her
husband's. If he Is not acquainted with
her. If It is her first call.
A daughter living at home has her
name printed under that of her mother
on her visiting card, or. If there is no
mother, under the name of her father.
When the daughters have ceased to
be regarded as young girls and have
many friends and acquaintances of
their own they always have visiting
cards of their own.
It Is, however, desirable that moth
ers should be on visiting terms with
their daughters' friends, even In these
days, when mothers and daughters
have each their own special circles, so
It is far better for a girl as long as she
is living with her mother to have her
name printed on her mother's cards,
even if she still thinks it necessary to
have for use in some cases her own
private cards.
It is very important to study the side
issues which may crop up on the ques
tion of card leaving, as otherwise of
fense may be given where none was in
tended. After wedding receptions cards may
be left, and this should never be post
poned later than one week after the
ceremony has taken place.
When inquiries during Illness are
made the rule is to leave one card only
for the person who is 111 or in any be
reavement The Week End Visit.
There are few lives whose routine
excludes the week end visit and few
such excursions that do not call for
careful planning beforehand and for
some thought and self restraint while
the excursion lasts.
The woman who sets forth upon one
of these little trips will naturally de
sire both to look and to feel her best
and brightest. But it is not always
easy to do this, because the things
that have been contributed to one's
well being at home may not be obtain
able during the visit, and the time for
nest, relaxation and the little toilet
ritual on which one's looks are .largely
dependent may not" easily be obtain
able either.
Before starting off it is well to take
just' what will be needed and nothing
that will be' a burden and a space oc
cupier. It may not be possible after
an evening of bridge or dancing to
give oneself all the care that has
been a matter of regular routine at
home. Tut that is no reason for neg
lecting oneself as muob as one Is often
tempted to do, fortified by the thought.
"I can rest up at home."
In packing be careful to have a good
cold cream and enough of it More
than one visitor may come into your
room for a dressing gown chat and cry
delightedly: "Oh, you have some fine
creamj I quite forgot to bring -any.
and my skin is like a nutmeg grater
after that ride. Can you spare a lit
tle?" And you have no alternative.
You must graciously assure her that
she Is welcome, even though your own
skin Is the one that becomes like a
nutmeg grater in consequence. So
take plenty. Take two jars and do
not 'Xhibit botbr
It is well to make a list on some
calm day when no visit Is in sight of
the things to be packed when that de
lightful emergency arises. Besides the
two jars of cream, it will be well to
put down four kinds of powder face
powder, talcum powder, foot powder
and bath powder In case of hard wa
ter. One or two extra nailbrushes
quite cheap ones may come in useful
ly if a muddy skirt has to be made
respectable and your hostess' domestic
force is not equal to coping with mud
dy skirts.
Good Form In Dress.
Don't wear colored or fancy open
work stockings with your street shoes.
Choose plain stockings that match the
shoes in color.
Don't pin ruchings and dress shields
in place. Baste them Instead and see
how much more comfort they give you.
It really doesn't take much longer to
baste than to pin.
Don't think that because collarless
frocks are the fashion you may wear
a low. cut dress on the street There
is a vast difference between "collar
less" and "low necked."
Don't buy cheap Jewelry and think
that it looks like anything but what
It Is a cheap imitation of a good ar
ticle. Much jewelry is in bad taste
at any time except with evening dress.
Don't wear mussed or soiled frills
and niching. You had much better
wear perfectly plain clothes without
trimmings if you cannot keep these
dainty accessories fresh . and without
soil.
Don't forget to see that your waist is
properly fastened before leaving your
mirror. The waist gaping open at the
back not only looks careless, but it is
apt to cause some embarrassment too.
A WASTED LIFE.
A man can have no greater de
lusion than that he can spend the
best years of his life coining all his
energies into money, neglecting his
home, sacrificing friendships, self
improvement and everything else
that is really worth while for money
and yet find happiness at the end.
There is never happiness in such a
selfish life.
