jOBEDIENT TO NATURE'S LAW
Constant Change Goes On, Lut Ameri- i
can Race Is Not Threatened
With Extinction.
j An effective argument agalnRt the
j theory advanced once In a while that i
j Americans are becoming degenerate !
j and are bound to die out, a complaint
also made by the English concerning j
I themselves, is advanced by Lieut. Col. |
j Charles E. Woodruff, Medical corps, U. i
j S. array, who is now stationed in the |
Philippines.
"There is no ground for such absurd j
I pessimism," says Woodruff, "though I
j as a matter of fact there is plenty
of evidence that certain typea In each
j nation (British and American) do have
| a higher death rate than others and
that there is a constant slow change
in the general average. Both civiliza-
tions have been built up by immi-
grants and it is a law of nature that
change of racial residence is always
followed bv extinction or alteration of
type through the survival of the fittest
for the new environment.
"Moreover, there has been a con-
stant immigration into the, British ia-
j lands from the beginning of things hu-
man, and the influx of new blood has
always kept civilization humming,
even if each invasion in olden times
did destroy part of what it found.
The same phenomenon is being re-
peated in America with the sole dif-
ference that the Invaders, except in
.Mexico and Peru, have not destroyed,
but are constantly building up. The
process of decay of certain types is
also quicker in America and the new
blood comes into prominence sooner
than in England.
"Very few of tho descendants of the
signers of our Declaration of Inde-
pendence are in public life and most
of them are nonentities, while immi-
grants and sons of immigrants are In
the seats of the mighty. The descend-
ants of the signers of Magna Charta
controlled England for many centuries,
though none of that stock Is in evi-
dence now, while the present control-
ling elements date back some cen-
turies and very few are recent arrivals I
from the continent
"It is high time that we find out who
are the fittest in each part of America.
Every bit of evidence is of some value
and that is the reason why the tre- i
mendous victories of the American
Olympic athletes have such a scientific
"nd popular interest."

Rue Ouilbeur Raett.
The municipal councillors of Le
Mans recently decided to name one
of the streets in that town after Wil-
bur Wright. This decision appears
; to have been very popular, but many
of the Inhabitants, according to a
French contemporary, are experienc-
ing great difficulties in regard to the
i correct pronunciation; but the name
is now being horribly mangled, espe-
i ially by the younger generation, and
Vilbure Vright" appears to be about
the nearest popular approach to the
real thing. Our contemporary, by the
! way, informs its readers that "Oull-
; beur Raett" is the correct rendering.
We are not sure whether "Raett" is
! right.—London Globe.

Puritan Verse.
Among the offenses of the Puritans,
for the most part left behind them
when they came to this country, was
that of turning bits of the Bible and
parts of the .New Testament into Eng-
lish verse. They were much given to
the printing of objurgatory and de-
famatory pamphlets, for which from
time to time a scribbling offender
would not find repose at "mine inn,"
but in the stocks to the amusement
of all the idlerB of the town.
It was soon after the Reformation
that this spirit of versifying the
Psalms and other parts of Scripture
began, and most of the collections
published with quaint titles are now
worth several times their weight In
gold to gatherers of curios. Allitera-
tion's artful aid was much in evidence
in such titles as "Seven Sobs of a
Sorrowful Soul for Sin," which com-
prised the seven penitential Psalms
n meter, and a "Handful of Honey-
suckles," in which were collated vari-

Depraved Benevolence.
"One of t lie queerest old human
freaks in New York shows up around
he police station whenever there is a
report of runaway boys in town," said
a policeman. "His purpose would not
be exactly approved by the Bible so-
ietles He does not want to lecture
he boys or send them home or im-
rove their morals in any way. He
simply wants to gratify their thwart-
ed ambition nnd show them Coney
island and the Bowery before they are
yanked back home by- angry parents.
That is what most of them run away
for—to see Coney Island and the Bow-
ery—and this old codger argues that
any boy who has grit enough to stand
the hardships of a stolen ride to New
York ought to be allowed to see those
places. His benevolence Isn't all
wind, either. He is willing to foot the
bills if the boys will be allowed to go;
but very few of them are. That Is
what breaks the old gentleman's
heart. He lays aside a small sum of
money each year for this peculiar
charity."

Short-Change Dog.
Charley L^llison is up on horse*, but
was not up on dogs. At one time In
Hot Springs he paid for a bird dog,
partly through a fanciful notion and
partly because the dog was a hand-
some animal. He sought tho seller
the next day and said:
"I thought you claimed this was a
bird dog. He was gone for three
hours yesterday and didn't bring back
a single bird."

ilog to which he would give a smell
of a $f> bill and later send It to bring
the money home. A visiting horseman
located the plant before the dog did
and substituted a fl bill. When the
retriever showed up, Ellison said:
