COIN OF THE REALM.

Selected From Emerson's Essay on ellis
tory" by 'Ben-Ardys."
He that is once admitted to the right of
reason is made freeman of the whole es-
tate. A man is the whole encycloped of
facts. The creation of a thousand forests
is in one acorn, and Egypt, Greece, Rome,
Gaul, Britain, America, lie folded already
in the first man. Epoch after epoch,
camp, kingdom, empire, republic, democ-
racy. are merely the application of his
manifold spirit to the manifold world.
We as we read must become Greeks,
Romans, Turks. priest and king. martyr
and executioner, must fasten these im-
ages to some reality in our secret expert
ence, or We shall see nothing, learn moth
ing keep nothing. The world exists Tor
the education OF each man. To the poet,
to the philosopher, to the saint, all things
are friendly aud sacred. all events profiIa-
bic. ell days holy all men divine. Ii has
been said that common souls pay with
what they do; noble souls with that
which they are"
The true power Is the poets mind; the
true ship Is the ship-builder.
The whole of heraldry and of chivalry
is in courtesy. A man of fine manners
shall pronounce your name with all the
ornament that titles Of nobility could ever
add.
When a thought OF Plato becomes a
thought TO me, when truth that fred the
soul of Pindor fires mine, time is no more.
When the gods come among men they
are not known.
The shoes OF swiftness. the sword of
shsr pness, the power of subduing the ele-
ments, of using the secret virtues OF min
erals. OF understanding the voices of birds,
are the obscure efforts OF the mind in a
right direction. The preternatural Prov
ess of the hero. the gift of perpetual
youth, and the like are alike the endeavor
of the human spirit 80 bend the shows
of things to the desires OF the wind" A
man is a bundle OF relations. a knob of
roots, whose flower and fruitaRe is the

THE SIMPLE INVENTION.
That Is the One That Brings Big
Money to the Inventor.

1920 NEW YORK-AvE., n. w,
WAsHINGTON. ID. C. May II.
Thomas A. Edison, the Wizard in
ventor. is a multi-milionaire. Not many
years ago he was poor young man, en-
ployed as telegraph operator in a railroad
office. But he has not made the biggest
part OF his fortune out OF bis most won
derful inventions, as most people suppose.
He is the inventor of score of useful con-
triyanees, and some of these have paid
him the best ROYALTIES. Indeed, il is q
remarkable fact. as cited by employees of
the patent office. that the most simple
inventions have been the most profit
able TO the inventors. The inventor
of the return ball" made over q
million of dollars ont Of il. Everybody
knows what the return ball was. Every
child used to have one. a simple wooden
sphere with an elastic cord (rubber) at
tached, and OF the end of the cord ring
for the finger. The man who invented
the small, triangular piece of leather or
other strong material. to be sown on the
corners of pocketbooks or overalls and
such garments, to prevent ripping, made
an immense fortune. MANY ladies hava
been successful in the invention of milk
pals, cotfee-strainers, egg-beaters, cradles.
churns, dish-washers and such articles OF
household use that have paid them
handsome royalties. 4 lady of Sha-
mokin, Pa, invented a refrigerator,
and draws an annual royalty of $4,000
from the manufacturers. Before she
got her patent che was in INDECENT cir
cumstancps with large family Of small
children to support. Now she is in the
midst of afiluence. Her children are being
educated abroad and the lady herself has
saved money enough to erect three busi-
ness blocks in her town. a lady of Blow
erspOrt, La, invented a sRlt-celar upon
which she receives royalty of $1,000 =
year. She had to borrow the money 500
to pay the patent office and patent attor-
ney's lees aud had some difficulty in get
ting anv one to take any interest in her
invention, but she was persistent and iu
the course OF time managed to sell quar-
ter interest in il to a man Tor enough
money to enable her 10 take out the pat

II is often the simple invention that

The new democratic commissioner OF
patents has been duly installed in Office

duties Of his responsible position. The re-
firing commissioner, Mr.. Simonds of Con-
necticut, has been mentioned by some Of
his friends as a suitable person to take
charge of the u. =. patent office exhibit
at the worlds fair, but the salary that
could be paid would not compensate him
for the time expended. There is only a
very small appropriation for the use of
the interior department at the worlds fair.
Most of the patent office examiners
have been kept in their places for years
Through their long experience they have
made themselves very efficient, aud IL has
been the custom followed by former COM

tration. This rule may be followed by the
new democratic commissioner of patents,
although of course a good many demo-
crate who want places naturally think
that the incumbents ought to give way to
the victors.
The new commissioner is said to be
man of exceptional ability. Mr.. Cleveland
chose him from among long list of gen.
tlemen of character and ability, who were
candidates for the place.

Passed in and out thai summer day

Yet she trusted him to the bitter end,
Content to be his willing slave,
Till, at last. cast OF without friend,
She sought repose In q wat'ry grave.
And thought, as on the still form CARED.
Would merciful father fit to forgive
A sin committed when almost orazed-
For taking a life that che could not live?
Why is it, friends wheneer we SEQ

We cry her shame with hendish CLEO

Why do we gloss mis- vile deeds Ger
And welcome as an honorel guest

May count our daughter with tho rest?
Poor maiden. you must keep at bay

For should you fall some one will say;

And think perhaps she at lat has found

lady. who won his love by pleasant smiles
and black, deceitful heart. lie learned
soon after that she was married and was
persuaded by her to murder her husband
on the promise that she would then flee
with him. This proved to be an artful
falsehood, for as soon as the deed was
committed. she being accused, bore damn
ing evidence against the true mRlelactor
lie, OF course, was compelled 10 flee ioi
