Hero-vorshipers have better time Of

their worship. The latter (including all dis
tInguished men) are largely at the mercy Of
class OF admirers who are too obtuse to
see any violation ofgood manners or taste in
their pursuit OF interviews and auto
graphs.
William Warren tells a delicious story
about ST. Louis man who went East last
summer and hunted up the poet Whittier.
He found the quiet old Quaker poet trying
to hide from civilization in farmhouse near
Nahant. He had gone there TO escape just
such bores as the St. Louis man was.
At first he declined to see the visitor, say
ing that he was not feeling strong, but the
Missouri man was so persistent that at last
Whittier yielded, and he was admitted. He
pounced upon the poet and nearly shook
his arm from the socket. He declared that
he adored the poets works-in fact, he read
nothing else.
He asked Whittier to write his name a
few hundred time. on sheet of note paper,
that he might distribute the autographs
among hi. friends, and it vas all the poet
could do to keep the impetuous visitor from
cutting the buttons from his coat to carry
away as mementos.

For the peace of Peters mind, the doctor

picnic dinner was served in a large tent

dinner there were potato race, wheelbarrow

Beauty and style are not the surest pass-
ports to respectability some OF the Ioblest
specimens Of womanhood that the world has
ever seen have presented the plainest and
most unprepos.es.ing appearance. A
woman's worth is to be estimated by the
real goodness OF her heart, the greatness Of
her soul, and the purity and sweetness Of
her character and a we'll balanced mind and
temper are lovely and attractive. Be her face
ever SO plain and her figure ever so homely,
she makes the best of wives and the truest
of mothers. She has higher purpose in
living than the beautiful yet vain and super
cilious woman, who has no higher ambition
than to flaunt her finery on the streets, or to
crafty her inordinate vanity by exacting
hattery and praise from society whose
compliments are as hollow as they are insin-
cere.
