DOLLARS OR A MAN An Incident of the big fir* la Minnenpoli. last week la worthy of comment. Jacob Miller, a member of the fire Insurance patrol, while at work helping to put out the fir* la a big building, fell down th* elevator shift. When the man toppled over Into the .haft bl* companions ceased pouring water into It for fear that Miller might be drowned. It was a critical moment. Any cessation of the work of the fire fighter* meant a apread of the, dlsastroua Are. Hoping to rescue Miller, tb* firemen relaxed their vigilance for several mlnutea and In that brief Interval the fire became uncontrollable, It ate up three quarter* of a million dol lar** worth of property before its appetite waa appeased Where**, It It bad beea controlled at the decisive moment the loaa would have been held down to a few thousand dollar* Nevertheless the hesitation of the firemen did credit to brave hearta Accustomed to risk their own live* in th* protea-iion of prop erty and knowing the danger of delay, they put the premium upon one human life. To aare a man they would put hundred* of thousand, of dol lar* In ..-.partly. They did well. They pet the man above the dollar—a living soul over and above material things. A DISEASE IN HUM AS NAI URE The remarkable operatlona of Caasl* Chadwick were made poa- Bible only by reason of a dißeaae la human nature which might be called plutophobla-hatred of the rich. Had her flimsy talea of connection* been directed against any ordinary man they would have been promptly ditmlaaed aa prepos terous. But no Blander Is too gross for credit If only a very eminent man la the object. In some ln*r-rutab'e way It «een,« to promote self-satisfaction to believe that th» extremely fortunate In the affaire of th* world ar* more prone than ether men to stray from the etralght and narrow way. Maybe there Ii envy mixed up In It. Maybe there I* an Instinctive feeling la the carnal mind of th* majority that aaeceea li not separ able from libertinism. Anyway, that which, told about an ordinary person, would be dismissed as mallcloua or Inter* fiction la greedily accepted when it la linked with a prominent name. It is eaay to Imagine, if you are (pared th* dltgutt of observing with what an air of Important the hearer* of auch a atory hint to their famlllara concerning the "Intlde" Informal. they poateia ,d deacant upon their small mattering* of the Irregular lit... of the eminent. You think that a great name solidly founded upon masterful In dustrial achievement and princely beneficence I* Impregnate, to alan'ler? Then you don't know the deep dtteaa* Ib human nature which cause Just auch a name aa that to be the moat easily besmirched You don't know that suspicion la a foul parasite lhat Instinctive ly neeka to attach Itaelf to a healthy growth. Hut Caaate Chadwick knew It. and the aerret Invented her with power* which we falsely call hypnotic. She appealed to a mbcon acloua force In men against which their calm reasoning and careful business training atrophied and ha .am* Impotent Had ah.- need th* name of an ordinary man aha would have been promptly shown out every bank she entered aa a slanderer and swindler. Cut a great name—ah! tbat went straight to the diseased spot Human nature went half war to meet a alander like that and embraced It at out*. In These Days of "FrenziedmCluidwickism" (*** STAR.
