Some queer things happen in a news
paper Office occasionally. The other
evening a special came flashing over one
of The Republics leased wires from New
York, giving an account of an event that
had occurred at Concord.
"Ask New York if that is Concord.
Mass, or Concord. N. H. said the night
editor to the operator.
A few seconds later the telegraph ma
nipulator reappeared with the announce
ment:
''New York says there is nosuch place
as Cor cord, Mass"
"Whatr gasped the editor, as his eyes
rolled in fine frenzy. "What? Just
ask that operator again"
The operator complied. The answer
came ticking back: "There's no such
place as Concord, Mass"
The night editor arose in solemn dig
4 nifty. "Just ask him." he repeated, If
he heard of the town that fired the shot
that was heard around the world. Ask
him" he went on wildly, ''if he ever
heard Of Paul Revere" Again the Oh
orator complied and brought back word
that no one in the Office had ever heard
OF the place. The night editor controlled
himself enough to send his condolences.
and remarked that it would be well to
keep from the ears of the office cat the
knowledge that no one in that particular
newspaper Office knew of Concord, the
home Of Emerson and Thoreau and Al
colt.
Just then the operator shouted: .'They
have found it. You mean the place where
they hold the School of Philosophy.
Well, stuff for that place has been going
to Boston for fifteen years, and this is
the first time l ever heard of Concord"
To the Western Union operators, there
fore, there is no such place as Concorl

Under the Chin.

You may have heard travellers scoff at
the practical Frenchnian who stuffs one
corner of his napkin inside his shirt col
lar and spreads it fully over the front of
his person from his chin down to his
knees. This is the practice of the French
people of the middle and lower classes,
who are thrifty and prudent. and who
wish to eat at their ease and not spot
their clothes. There is nothing ridiculous
in this practice. There is a reason, and
an excellent reason, for so spreading the
napkin, and if l were dining at home,
or alone at a restaurant or club, and had
on my spotless shirt and open waistcoat
and clawhammer coat, all ready to go to
the opera, l should certainly spread my
napkin over my manly and snowy bosom,
just as the Frenchman does, and so
should dine at my ease, serenely and
without care, knowing that had thus
insured the immaculateness of my linen.
However, let it be remembered that COM
pany manners in all countries require
you simply to spread your napkin loosely
over your knees, and to eat cleanly and
decently.-Theodore Child in Harpers

Steel Pens.

Nearly all the steel pens used in this
country are manufactured here, though
twenty years ago nearly all were i'm
ported. Now only the highest priced
ones are imported. We use about
100000 gross every year, which is not
so large a number as might appear, con-
siderillg that it represents fewer than
three pens apiece for all the inhabitants.
As many people who use them wear out
a gross GA pens) or more in a year. it is
evident that there must be a great many
who never use steel pen at all The pens
are made of imported steel, which is
preferred because Of its more uniform
quality. 1t is rolled into big sheets and
cut into strips, after which it is an
nealed, rolled to the thickness required,
then tempered and cut and stamped into
pens. Much skill is required in all these
operations and in those of finishing the
pens for use. The manufacture and
trade in steel pens has seen very little
change for a generation. Good House
keeping.

"BoY Hamlet."

John Howard Payne enjoys the dis
tinction of being the first American
Hamlet who was born in America, and
he had been born but seventeen years
when he played "Hamlet" at the Park
theatre in May, 1909. He was the first
of the long line of infant phenomena in
this country, and the original boy
Hamlet" Fired by the marvellous
and ridiculous-successo of Master Betty
in England, he went upon the stage with
little professional training, and with
barely sufficient intelligence to play the
parts Of ROsencrantz or Guildenstern,
but he drew enormous crowds. and put
money in his purse. Two years later,
on the 5th of April, 1911, he introduced
the tragedy Of Hamlet" to Albany au-
diences; but he is remembered by pos
terity as a playwright rather than as a
player, and as the author of one immor-
tai song. His Hamlet naturally was as
immature and as amateur as it was pre-
mature.-Lawrence Hutton in Harper's
Magazine.

When the hoarse Atlantic surges
Thundered through clouds of spray.
Or it might have been in the heather,
Or down by the amber burn,
Where the gray and ichened bowlders
Lie bedded in golden fern.
Or was it under the starlight
Down the path from Amulree,
When the pipes walled out their music
Of weird and changeful glee?
Perhaps when strolling idly
Beside the bitter brine,
You might find blood-red pebble.

Woman Suffrage Almost Certain to Be Adopted
in the observation-disclosures Conditions.

NEW ORLEANS. La, Sept. 1.-The fran
chise committee of the Mississippi constitu-
tional convention have decided in favor Of
woman suffrage. and it seems quite certain
that the convention will adopt its recon-
mendation. All voters are required to be
able to read and write. This Will disfran-
chise eleven thousand whites and l2SO 600
negro voters. Then all women owning
over $500 worth of property in their own
right will be entitled to the ballot. This
it is thought. will add forty thousand
white women voters and not over five
thousand negro women voters, giving the
whites a majority of eighty thousand in the
State. The committees report requires the
Legislature to provide separate voting
places for women in every precinct A
woman To vote must comply with the same
conditions required of men. must prepay
her poll tax. be a resident of the precinct
one year. etc. The plan seems TO meet
with general favor. and will be almost
certainly adopted. The woman suffragists
are both surprised and delighted over their
victory.
