II Paid to BE Cheerful.

A manufacturer of Kensington tells
this true tale: Fifteen years ago l
was very rich, but ten years ago there
came a time when it seemed that I'd
surely fall. One day when a smash
appeared a certainty 1 walked down
Chestnut street toward the wool ware
houses, blue, blue as indigo, but l
braced up and put on a cheerful air.
Just then a man / knew came in and
said:
"'Say, Bill, what makes you always
look so cheerful? Don't you ever have
any trouble at all?
"'Oh, yes said I, jollying a little;
but to look blue doesn't do any good,
etc.
"'Well,' this fellow said, 4 tell you
what I'm going to do. I've got $4,000
lying idle, and I'm going to get you to
invest it for me. You're so well of,
so lucky in business always, and so
blamed cheerful, I'm sure nothing ever
fails with you, and I want you to in
vest this money any way you please.
and 1 won't even ask you how you did
invest it,
"Well, I took this mans money. II
was just the amount my tottering busi-
ness needed. A year later times and
prices were vastly better, and / paid
the $50, 900 back with interest at-what

A new scheme of advertising was
resorted to by progressive business
firm in a prosperous city in the south.
The junior partner of the firm swore
out a warrant for the arrest of the
senior partner on the ground that he
was selling goods below cost and that
the firm was constantly losing money
thereby.
The case came up in court, and the
counsel for the senior partner asked
for postponement in order to have
more time to prepare his case. The
Judge granted the request. bail was

leased. AS he left the court room
the junior partner arose and ex-
claimed: '.If he is released the sacri-

The news soon spread and the firm
did a better business.
When the case was called again no
plaintiff appeared and the charge was
dismissed. The firm had succeeded

Scenery That Acts.

Scenery that actsi If Wagner had
wrought no other revolution on the
operatic stage, he would deserve our
gratitude. Take for purpose of COM
parison the vessel in ''LAfricaine"
and the ship in the first act of Tristan
and Isolde" The former shows the
section of a vessel as neatly divided
into various compartments as box of
seed samples. If the scene is well
done, If, when the double basses begin
to rumble and the ship begins
to roll, the women shrek in their COM
partments, the priests pray in theirs,
and the savages whose canoes would
surely have been swamped in the
storm, supposing they could have been
launched at all, climb over the ships
side and massacre everything in sight
well, we see the cleverness of it and
are entertained, but hardly horror
stricken or overcome by terror.
On the other hand, the ships deck
in Tristan" with it's group Of silent
men near the helm and its passion
torn woman in the foreground, the dis
tant horizon line suggesting the sea far
more effectively than a whole platoon
of mechanically worked" waves pos
sibly can, creates illusion and atmos-
phere, and forms as much a component
part of the music drama as the sing
ers and orchestra. The ship in
"L'Africaine" is a clever bit of stage
mechanics; the ship in ''Tristan" is
scenery that acts.-Gustav Kobbe in

people have been confined there, ii, 300
