'"V Nell "Jack Rapidde is a perfect oene -Has he been hugging you' too?" News & Observer. Just because a person has the tw8h' don t JumP to conclusion nat he is well-bred." - V (By Theo. H. Price) ( In the Washington Times of last Saturday it is announced that Colo nel Alfred Dreyfus was recently dec orated as an officer of the French Le gion of Honor in recognition of his gallant war service. We have not seen the announcement elsewhere, but we are glad to print it for the en couragement of others who are, or have been, the victims of injustice or circumstance, but whose souls have, nevertheless, remained "unconquer able" and whose heads though "bloody" are "un-bowed." This Colonel Dreyfus is the same man who as Captain Dreyfus was im- Jrisnev on Devil's Island some twen. taken away from him and broken and the buttons had been stripped from his uniform as he stood in front of the French regiment of which he had been an officer.v He was accused of having betrayed the military secrets of the French army to the Germans, ft-ru-i uio x tai v.xaxuc iuv All tile X Is liiuv -ihe was a Jew and that the anti-semi tic clique in the French army were termine to destroy him and in so doing discourage other Jews who might aspire to military distinction. Every one recalls his trial and his conviction. They attracted world wide attention. His retrial and acquittal and his ultimate reinstatement were mainly the result of Emile Zola's courage in his J'accuse, which was an arrang ment and an accusation of those who had brought about" the downfall of Dreyfus. It is doubtful whether any cne who has not been through a sim ilar experience can appreciate the agony that an innocent man must feel when he is pilloried in the eyes of the public for a despicable crime, but we can all rejoice when injustice is remedied, as far as any remedy is possible and call attention to the fact in the hope that "A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing shall take heart again." But the duty of acclaiming the tri umph of justice is not the only one that the story teaches.

"There but for the Grace of God go I " remarked a charitable English Bishop as he saw a murderer being taken to the scaffold, and when our friends stumble and fall, it is our duty to stand by them and not to desert them. "Let him who is without sin among ye cast the first stone," were the words of the Great Teacher to those who were anxious to pnr;--woman who had erred and His benig nant dismissal of the accused with an injunction to "Go and sin no more" sets a standard of sympathy with hu man weakness to which friendship should always repair.

MISS HERRING OF WAR SAV INGS BUREAU ON THRIFT Richmond, Va., Sept. 22. A brand new thrift exhibit showing the power of systematic saving, the first of its kind that the United States Govern ment has ever undertaken, has been prepared by Miss Kate M. Herring, Director of War Savings Societies of the War Loan Organization here, to be shown at state, district and county fairs in the Fifth Federal Reserve District. Never before has the government attempted to visualize thrift, its ef forts in the past having been confin ed to the printed and spoken, message but in the exhibits that Miss Herring ha prepared the story of the succes ful dollar is told at a glance. The exhibit is offered to fair man agers without charge. It is built to occupy a space ten by fifteen feet which the fair officials are asked to donate, together with the help neces sary to place the exhibit in position. A representative of Miss Herring's department will be in charge of the exhibit. Besides Posters, charts and graphic illustrations the exhibit contains ob ject displays and several novelty at tractions electrically lighted. Thrift, saving, investment and the substan tial character of government securi ties are treated in attractive ways through the most effective methods developed in display work. j A number, of applications have been received from fair authorities asking for the government exhibits and it is planned to show them at the Virginia. North Carolina and South Carolina State Fairs during next month. "Little dabs of powder, Little touches of pain, Make the skillful lady Look what she ain't."
