one Sabbath not long ago the lesson
was drawing to an end when the teach
er asked, by way Of review:
Now what is the Golden Text, chill
dren?''
No answer. Every urchin sat at atten-
ton; one scratched his head and an
other little fellow on the end Of the
row stared hard at the ceiling as If he
expected to see it written there, but the
light would not break. The text was
really not long being simply, "Ye cannot
serve God and Mammon, but the last is
a long and dubious word and more la
bic to jog the brains of Bible class
than intermediate youngsters.
But the teacher took up the task anew
of making the little brains work. She
smiled and suggested:
Just six words. Something about
serving. Can't one of you children re-

little fellow on the end abandoning his

he almost shouted. The teacher went on
with the lesson without comment.
Somewhere in the Good Book memory
recalls an expression about 'sout of the
mouths of babes and sueklings" which
modern cynics have boiled down to the
more hornely adage about children and
fools dealing with that article which
crushed to earth never fails to rise
again.

A certain young man who hangs out
a professional sign on Kansas avenue
bought a roll-top desk the other day and
had it installed in his office. He was as
delighted with his new piece of Office
furniture as child with a new toy and
wanted to work at it all the time.
AS he had to have artificial light fer
the hours of darkness the same as other
people, it occurred to the young man
that it would be a very handy and use

Something else claimed attention for q
time and the work was abandoned for
the day.
Later he closed up his desk and as he
hauled the cover down with a bang
nothing less astounding than two great
holes in the center Of the roH-top cover
down to hold an Indignation meeting
with himself. The sense of the meeting
was that the things on hand were: A
bungled job; two holes when the desk
is open; four holes when it is closed; no
lamp and a spoiled desk.

THE SORT OF BIOGRAPHY
FIELD WOULD HAVE WANTED

Eugene Field: A Study in Heredity
and Contradictions" This is the title
of the long expected Field biography by
Slason Thompson, chief editorial writer
| of the Chicago Record-Herald. The
work is published by the Scribners
this week in two handsome volumes
labundantly illustrated (many of the
pictures in colors) and filled to over
| flowing with new stories about Field,
unpublished letters and verses and re-
! productions Of the crude but graphic
drawings with which he used to illus
| trate bis letters.
Not as other memoirs are written
would Eugene Field, were he alive,
/ have this study of his life" says Mr..
| Thompson in his Introduction. He
would think more of making it reflect
( the odd personality of the man than
rehearse the birth. development, daily
! life, and works of the author.
If he had undertaken to write his
Town life, as was once his intention, II
would probably have been the most re-
markable work of fiction by an Ameri-
can author that ever masqueraded Ia
| the quaker garments of facts. From
! title page to colophon-on which he
would have insisted-the book would

I innocent and willing-to-be-delud

7 Fields idea of perfect memoir was
( that it should contain no facts that
might interfere with its being novel
and interesting reading both to the
public and its subject. He set little
store by genius. as he tells US in one of
/, his letters. and less by that nonsense
called useful knowledge"

that Mr.. Thompson has written about
his friend. but the Field you see the

S. r. Leland s Son,

Duke of Cornwall and York, of the
Duke of Cambridge, Of the King OF
Sweden, and the King of Saxony.
They are souvenirs of occasions when
Madame Melba has sung for these
great persOnages. Her own portrait
and bust are evidences of interest in
two of her countrymen. The bust in
the MUSHROOM was made by Bertram
Mackennal, and the portrait was
painted by Rupert Bonney, whose two
pictures in the Paris salon this year
have received favorable mention.
For painters Madame Melba has
much admiration, and for writer's a
kind of reverence. One somehow never
associates books with great singers, in
their journeyings the costumes leave
so little space for works of literature
in their trunks. Madame Melba's ia
vorite books may be seen at her home
on a little table by the fireplace. There
is an easy chair near It, and the pages
of Rosetti Shelley, Keats, and Fitz-
gerald Omar show that they have
been read.

consulted in order to get enough votes
to pass any bill whatever. When the
bill went back to the House 1t was
barely recognized by its original franz
ers. but there was nothing they could
do about it. The session was nearing
its close, an election was coming on.
For a Democratic Congress elected
on the tariff issue to have adjourned
without passing some kind of a tariff
bill would have been confession of
inefficiency which was not to be
thought of. To send the bill back to
the Senate meant its defeat. In des-
peration. the Democratic House adopt
ed the Senate bill without the crossing
of a e or the dotting of an s. marked
by 'perfidy and dishonor' though
they believed it to be. That was an
occasion where a few cool heads in the
Senate proved more than equal to the
President and the House combined.

was. is entitled to a great share of the
credit.
What Aldrich did with a Demo-
cratic Senate on this great question of
party policy he is constantly doing
with the Democratic minority ina Re
publican Senate on all sorts of ques-
tons, which have a business side. He
is not a man who esta blishes intimate
friendships either among his party as
sociates or his party opponents, but he
is on good terms with everybody. and
apparently deals with frank confidence
with everybody. One great secret of
his success is that he cares nothing for
personal distinction. He is entirely sat
lifted with his position in the Senate.
It is a matter Of Indifference to him
whether his name figures in the news
papers or not. He is not looking for
anything IN a political way beyond
what he already has. So long as he
can get substantially what he wants
into a bill he does not care what name
ii goes by. The Mckinley bill. the
DINGHY bill. the Hanna or Fry bill. are
all one to him so long as he has some
thing to say about their contents. He
is not figuring for the presidency or
looking forward to a place in history.
He never seeks the centre of the stage
and cares nothing for the limelight
