Q. —I have been keeping
company with a young mail
three months, seeing him
about two nights each week.
He reaautly had an engage
ment with me which he <ii<l
not keep, iiuving heard
through friends that he was
ulmble to come, and think
ing enough time has elapsed
for him to call me up and
excuse hlmi-iaif, would like
your opinion as to how to
act when meeting him next,
I expect to meet him at the
club in two weeks, and 1 do
not know what to say.
He was a perfect gentle
man In every respect, and mjr
parents approve of him,
Might also state that he lias
asked me not to go with
other young men. I oom
plled with his request nLd
went with him exclusively.
J. B.
A.—Treat the iimui as Utousli
nothing disagreeable had hap
pened. Tills makes It easy (or
him to explain if he tares to do
so.
And take this little lesson to
heart and do not promise to go
with one man exclusively unless
y<>u are engaged to him.
Home girls are too easily flat
tered by that request and they
attach nndue importance to It,
when it U in truth only arrant
HeirtHlineas on the man's part and
not in the least complimentary
to the girl.
A perfect gentleman does not
snake such a demand; If engaged,
he may rightly expect the girl to
stop going with other men, unre
queotnd.

NO SLIGHT TASK TO KILL
RArS TAIL, SCIENCE FINDS
By Giison Gardner
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. —
How hard it la to kill rats' tails
may be inferred from the fact
that after a number of tails had
been dried for eight days and
heated for two hours at a tem
perature of 99 degrees they were
suiocessfully grafted to living rats.
All of which appears In the latoHt
report of the Stnithsonlun Institu
tion Just off the press; so it must
be true.
Other peculiar things about tho
resurrertion of apparently dead
forms of life appear in this re
port in an article by Paul Beo
querel, the eminent French sci
entist. He writes on latent life
and particularly on the ability of
oertain germs to come to life aft
er they would seem by all the
rules of ordinary life to be thor
oughly dead.
He tells how the rotifers of the
gutter and the "water bears"
may remain dried up for five
months amid mosses or dust
without evidencing the slightest
trace of life and when moistened
resume their \ltp\l functions.
Another little animal discov
ered by Becquerel, an animal
with a life cycle of 10 months
was resurrected after being stow
ed away for 28 years.
The rat tail experiment wu
conducted to find out how long
the living elements in flesh would
continue and against what ad
verse conditions. Becquerel him
self experimented with seeds,
bringing to life some which had
lain dormant for from 28 to 87
years. He subjected them In cer
tain cases also to great heat and
cold; also to wet and dry condi
tions, discovering that the life
principle is most persistent, being
something like that thing in the
riddle which fire does not kill
nor water drown.

German Agitators
Within the Law
The department of Justice of
ficials find there is no law to
prevent the conduct of Germany
of paid propaganda in the Unit
ed Slates for the purpose of in
fluencing public opinion.
The remarkable letters recent
ly published exposing the activi
ties of German agents in tryiiyj
to create public opinion against
the export of arms are not evi
dences of any crime of misde
meanor.
Kven the part takes by Frante
yon PapM, military attache of the)
German embassy, will not sail out
any official action.
Kike the untlvities of Captain
Boy-Kd in serurlng the forgery
of paHHportH and hiring Hpies to
serve in Great Mrltaln, these
actions are a violent strain on
diplomatic rclatlona with G«r
many and that 1b all.
If the Herman government
wishes to spend millionx in thm
country trying to corrupt Its
newHpapers, or, to finance "neu
tral" Bocletlen for the agitation
of an embargo on arms, there 1h
no law to prevent it.
If the public cnnuot distin
guish between paid propaganda
and straight news It is destined
to be mittled.
