TREATED BY THE x.RAY.
Former Senator Roach on the Road to
Recovery.

: o'tHS SSioloT nOdCn on the KOaC TO
Recovery.
New York, Aug. 13.-Former Sena-
tor William A. Roach Of North Dakota,
who has been exceedingly i'll here for
q long time, is improving. His illness,
which arose from the growth of a
malignant tumor, had been pro-
nounced incurable and, for days he lay
at the point of death. The knife had
been used several times without avail.
Finally the physicians resorted to
the X-ray treatment. The machine
was placed lin the senator's room and
electric treatment was given daily,
the wire springs of the bed acting as
conductors. A tube was inserted in
the lncision made by the former opera
ton and through this the X-ray was
applied to the affected part. The at
tempt was being made to dry up the.
tumor which the surgeons had failed
to remove thoroughly with the knife.
Gradually the dangerous symptoms
have been lessened and at last there
is genuine ground for hope.

Successful Plays That Were Written
by Boys. In Their Teens.

Successful Plays That Were Written
by Boys In Their Teens.
Was a successful play ever written
by a boy Of fourteen? asks a CORE
spondent. Yes. This seeming miracle
has happened at least three times. The
best known example of the %precocious
playwright is the celebrated Lope de
la Vega, thegsmost prolific dramatist
known to history. He produced his
first play, a comedy, entitled LA Pas
toral de Jacinto," before he had COM
pleted his fourteenth year, and this
was considered such a marvellous per,
Torrance that he is known. to this day
in Spanish literature as 'the Prodigy
OF Nature" AnothA Spaniard and con-
temporary Of La S1ega. Pedro Calde-
ron, wrote his first play when he was
thirteen. Metastasio wrote his tragedy
"Giustino" and had it produced when
he was fourteen on the stage at Bo.
logna.
OF Observation-Disclosures Douglas Jer-
rold, the famous author Of "Black
Eyed Susan" also furnishes an answer
to the question. In 1918, before he had
completed his fifteenth year, he wrote
a very well known farce entitled
More Frightened Than Hurt" 70 was
very successful on the English stage,
and the French considered it good
enough to steal. C~uriously enough,
this French translation was retrans-
lated into English and again produced
on the English boards under the title
Of Fighting by Proxy" Another very
remarkable instance OF a different sort
OF p%recocity was that of William Hen
~ Ireland, who when he was about
fifteen actually produced some plays
which he attributed to Shakespeare
and which, although afterward proved
to be %forgeries, were accepted by the
experts Of the time as genuine.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

PENNY POSTAGE.
The Incident That Led to It's Estab-
lishment In England.

Many years ago, when Queen Vic
toria first began to reign, it cost nine
pence to send a letter from one Eng
fish city to another. In those days the
postage was not paid by the sender
Of the letter, as is now customary, but
by the receiver. So, of course, there
were many poor people who could not
afford to pay ninepence when their
mail arrived, and it often happened
that they were obliged to forfeit the
letters. IT.
One day a man named Rowland Hill
was riding on the outskirts Of a city,
and he saw a postman bring a letter to
a young girl and demand ninepence
for it. The girl took the letter, scru.
tinized it carefully and then handed il
back to the man, saying she could not
AFFORD to pay the postage. Thereupon
Rowland Hill, being a kind hearted
man, rode up and insisted upon paying
it himself. When the postman had
gone, the girl confessed to her bene-
factor that the letter was from her
lover, and to avoid paying ninepence
on every letter he made certain marks
on the envelope which she alone could
decipher.
But" said Rowland Hill, "don't
you know you are doing something
very dishonest in thus cheating the
government"
The girl admitted she did, but there
was no other way to do.
Hill rode away and meditated over
this little incident, and his farfamed
idea of penny postage" was the re.
suit. At first he was laughed at by
every one, but he fought bravely and
finally was rewarded by seeing his
idea in practice all over the land.-New

STRENGTH IN SOME FORM.
The Quality Above All Elise THAT
Woman AdmiresI In Man. .

AAA~ - NV <AAA AAS @EA 1AA4S
Woman Admires In Man. .
Women abhor towards and still more
sneaks, though / regret to say they
often endure cads in aIwaysthat bellies
their intelligence and good taste. They
have5as quite pathetic desire to look up
to men, to feel men their superiors in
strength of body and of mind, in calm
aess of judgment and clearness of in
tellect. And it is. indeed a pity that
men so often seem to go out of their
way to destroy their most cherished
Illusions.
Above everything a woman admires
strength in a man. 1t may be strength
Of body-she will worship a Hercules
with the, brain Of a guinea pig. 1t may
be strength charlottesville will adore
a sayant with the body Of a gibbon
monkey. Itsmay be strength of char
acter-she will break her heart for a
politician Or %inancier who Is I'M
sweryingly wrapped up in dreams Of
personal advancement and who pos
sesses no more heart than an oyster.
But strength in some form she Graves
increasingly. It is a, hereditary in
stinct that has been bequeathed to her
through Eyes first disappointment
when Adam was tried in the balance
and found wanting. Woman, secretly
conscious Of her own physical weak
nessyand lack Of intellectual strength,
demands strength from man to make
up for her own deficiencies. Even the
strongest women, strong in body and
mind, well balanced as Athene herself,
though they may shield and protect
the. weakness Of the men they love
and stoop to help them, will never do
so without a secret feeling Of contempt
which is destruction of all ideals. Man,
in spite of that deplorable start made
by Adam, was intended to be woman's
protector and refuge from all harm,
upon whom she could lean and rely in
every event Of life's pilgrimage, and
when the roles are reversed, as they
often so unfortunately are, it is a bad
thing both for man and
Strength however. is what women

FHE COLLECTOR WHO KNEW
an Illustration of the Danger of Be-
" ing Too Self Confident.

an Illustration of the Danger of Be-
" Ing Too Self Confident.
"The trouble with you fellows is
you want things, but you know moth
ing about 'em. You come over here
and carry home a lot of truck that a
European collector wouldn't give
house room, and when you see a really
good thing you don't know it, o. you
won't pay a price for it unless some
dealer makes you. You see, you don't
know; that's what's the matter; how
car you? Nobody in America wanted
antiques before the Centennial. If
you'd lived here twenty years, like me,
you'd learn something, you'd find out
that collecting isn't a thing Of money,
but knowing"
We had been walking in Venice
down a narrow Gale while the collect
o. was speaking. Look at that old
brass SCALE" he resumed, pointing to a
fish stall in the little outdoor market
on which we had just emerged.
There's a gem, not very old, but Of
the finest seventeenth century Venetian
work. If you saw that in a New York
Dealers, all cleaned up, you'd give up
q good deal for it.; but you'd "a passed
it by a dozen times if I hadn't spoken
about it. See that old junk stand over
there? [ never pass a thing like that.
You a never tell what, you may pick
up-if you only know"
We had scarcely reached the stand
when the collector thrust out his hand
with the sWiftness of a hawk darling
on it's prey, and swooped upon a little
jewel box. -
"Carnelian! Russian, T should say,
from the Ural mountains. It's not Of
great value, but it's a pretty little
thing, il it was cleaned up. It's mine,
anyway" To the keeper of the stall:
Il "Quanto"
The Venetian slowly uncoiled him
self and came down from the church
steps, whese he had been sleeping.
"Does the signore want the pretty
trife? The signore knows it's value
better than 1, and he'll be g]enerous?"
"Ill give you a Ira. for it. It isn't
worth it, but one mustn't be hard with
the poor"
II had hoped 1 should get fye!"
"Weh, I'll make it two"
at is the s~ignore's."
"There, you seew exultingly chuckled
the collector. t"That's what it is to
know. An exquisite %carnelian Russian
jewel casket for 40 cents! You'd never
have thought of looking among a lot
Of rusty old iron for a thing like that,
would your"
While speaking he held the box with
a miser's clutch.
"May 1 see it, please?
He reluctantly handed it to me as
though fearing 1 might make a sud-
den dash down the Gale with his treas
ure. p
"Phew" said Il contemptuously,
handing the box back to him. "It's not
carnelian at all. It's glass, nothing but
glass;"
"Glass!" drawing a magnifer from
his waistcoat pocket and mutely ex-
aiming the purchase. "I'm-Pm-
afraid-it isv he said sheepishly.
"Of course it is"
"I-don't know" sadly. "Yes, it is
glass! You see, it's so dirty. Oh, well,
we all make mistakes at times. Do
you want 1r?' disgust taking the place
Of sadness. "You can have it for a
quarter"
"Well, l guess it's worth a quarter"
think my eyes must have snapped.
yes"
And that is how an almost unique
example Of the cinque cento came into
my collection of Venetian glass.-New
