They would Not Write.

They tell this story OF Ralph Waldo
Emerson; His best thoughts were apt to
strike him after he had gone to bed, Once
camly resigned to rest, ready for dreams,
sparkling notions began to fit through his
brain. lie knew if he did not catch them
then, they would vanish never to return; so
up he gets, strikes light, and makes his
nocturnal notes.
One night the philosopher had risen from
his bed, and was cropping around in the dark
for card of misplaced matches. His hand
at len 9Th came in contact with his wlte's
deliberately carved tertolse-shel comb, which
he mistook for card CT lucifers. One after
another he snapped away the teeth trying to
light them on the wall, until one was LETT
His loud and emphatic mutterings OF dlsap,
pointment aroused Mrs. Emerson.
What on earth, husband, are you dong
there in the dark
"On.y thought that had in my mind,
my love"
But the thought had fed, and still in the
dark he went back TO bed
In the morning Mrs. Z. found that her hus
bands fugitive thought had been an expen'
sive one tor her-having cost her her best
comb, but she could not find it in her hear
TO scold.
