Curious sluns.

London Chronicle: signs-and Won

correspondents. At Banbury we hear
there is a hanging sign which faces the
entering traveller as THE First Inn
The reverse side, facing him as he
leaves Banbury, reads, 1.-The Last
Out" At Hanley there is public
house called 1.-THE Quiet Woman" The
sign-now removed-presented a fe-
male without a head. At Duncaster
there was some years ago a curious
sign representing "Labour in VAIN"
and exhibiting two herculean women,
with a negro in tub, whom they were
trying to wash white. The sign has
probably been bought by firm Of

SOCIETY, "GooD" AND "BKsr."
w. ID. Howells Tells Why Depew's Dream
Cannot Come True.

Cannot Como True.
Senator Depew recently expressed
the wish that the exclusive millionaire
society Of New York might mingle
with the society Of genjus-that the
men and women of exaggerated In
comes might consort with the men and
women Of ideas and intellectual or
artistic achievement. He thought It
would be good thing for both classes
Mr.. Howells says such mingling of
social oil and water can never take
place, and he devotes his Easy Chair
article In the July Harper's to showing
why Mr.. Depew's dream can never
come true.
Mr.. Howells calls the plutocratic
-Four Hundred good society,"" while he
calls artists, authors, scientists, jurists
and like questionable persons the
best society,"" The reason why the
good" and the best" never can mix
Is that neither desires the company Of
the other. Plutocracy takes no real
interest in the achievements Of litera-
ture, art and science, or in the persons
who create such works. Their stand
ard of merit is wealth, and all who
cannot play the game Of wealth ac-
cording to the rules Of plutocratic con-
vention are in an inferior class in their
eyes. Genius does not care to go where
it is ranked as inferior to wealthy stu
pidity 1t does not wish to frequent
circles in which its achievements are
neither known nor appreciated and
where 1t is tolerated only in patron
izing way.
Even If 1t were to become good
form" to invite authors, scholars and
men Of genius to the functions of ex-
elusive society on equal terms, the plan
would not work. The best society"
would hesitate to accept the hospitality
Of high society" because it could not
repay the debt in kind, since it has not
the thousands to spend on lavish dis
plays, and would not care to spend
them in this way If 1t had them. Be-
sides. genius dislikes the rigors of con-
vention that must be observed at such
functions. It Is not merely the get-
ting of ones body In evening dress,
but, as Mr.. Howells says, "one must
put ones soul into evening dress and
ones thoughts and opinions"

Himself in Embarrassing Situations.
Baltimore Sun: The serious disad-
vantage of having a youthful appear
ance and always being taken for a
small boy is something that is continu-
ally worrying Mr.. Wells j. Hawks,
business manager of the Academy of
Music. 1t is rather embarrassing to be
taken for an usher, and it is worse than
crushing to be asked If one is the coat
room boy when that one is trying to
look the part of somebody, but these
are not all Of Mr.. Hawks woes In this
direction.
One Of the heaviest blows was struck
during the engagement OF Miss May Ir-
win at the Academy, says Mr.. Hawks.
He was back on the stage talking to
the stage carpenter just before the cur
tain went up, when an actress came out
of her dressing looked at him q
moment and then beckoned. At first

tenance did not stir, so the lady beck

until she could get her face straight.
| Several weeks later some one found a
pocketbook in the house, and, the box
office being closed, the person who
found it handed it to Mr.. Hawkes. to
be returned to the owner. He put it in
his pocket and went into his office. At
ter the theater had been closed for the
! evening there was a knock at the office
door and two ladies came in. One OF
them stepped forward and remarked:
II lost my purse in the house this
evening and want to find out if it has
been returned.

book
That's it, she said as she took it.
Then she opened the purse and took

with n benevolent smile on her face
said:

honesty"
This was too much, and the man with
the youthful face wilted, and ony GIN

Somebody suggested that he grow q

Talked Too Much.

A farmer named Kropff, in Dickinson
county, Kansas, declared early in the
spring that God informed him that the
wheat crop this year would be failure;
and. to prove his belief in the revelation,
he sold his own wheat crop for few dol
lars per acre. The crop having turned out
to be unusually large, he was asked the
other day to say something in regard to
the matter, and replied: II take it as a
dispensation from the Lord not to talk SO
much, and to keep to myself hereafter

Massachusetts, and PENNSYLVANIA.

in a popular magazine Is given by the
st. Paul Globe to show the contrast
between the above two states in the
matter of political dishonesty and cor.

"As Webster said, Massachusetts,
there she stands Pennsylvania
there she stands, too. Philadelphia is
the most native-born and the most evil
of any large city in America. You
can't dismiss Pennsylvania problem

Dangerous Family Reading.

The necessity of having good ltera-
ture in every Catholic home is unques-
toned, yet in many such homes no
Catholic paper or magazine can be
found, and the books which constitute
the family reading are often the most
sensational novels of the day, says
Mary G. Desmond in DonaIhoe's for
October. In this highly-wrought fic-
tion vice is often CLOSED over and so
colored as to appear almost virtue.
What the Catholic religion teaches re-
garding morals is, while not openly
condemned, often insiduously made to
appear as contrary to human liberty,
and between the lines the thoughtful
reader can discern leaning toward
agnosticism and many of the other
'isms" that are working havoc with
Christianity today.
