NEW SHORT
Just Like solomon.

Joe Weber tells this story of how the
firm of Weber & Fields came very
near being dissolved at one time. They
were playing at the Bowery museums
with Indifferent success when they de-
c1ded that their future lay in %croDati
work. So n day they went to the foot
Of East Twelfth street, where there
were two large ash dumps. There they
found James T. Powers and Peter Dali
ley practicing acrobatic stunts. The
latter two i not fancy the invasion
of the two German comedians, who
were their rivals for popularity along
the Bowery, and drove them away
with stones, one of which, thrown by
Powers, struck Fields in the eye. His
partner instead of sympathizing with
him began to laugh. Fields got angry.

"An right. Pm wiling said Weber.
They walked back to the Bowery to-
gether without speaking. A few days
before the incident they had Clipped in
a dollar each and bought a trunk.
Whose going to get that trunk?'
sulkily asked Weber.
"You can have it," replied Fields.
mo; l don't want it. You take it."
said Weber
After quarreling for some time over
the matter Fields finally hit upon a
Solomon-like idea. "We'll saw it In
two, and we can each take half" he
said.
Weber agreed to the proposition and.
procuring a saw, started upon the diyi-
sion of the only valuable asset of the
team. He had cut half way through
the trunk when he finally turned to
Fields and said:
Say. Fields. I'm getting the worst Of
this deal. Do o think I'm going to
saw your half too?'
Fields indignation had by this time
subsidized. and he was roaring with
laughter. They there and then patched
up their grievance, and Mr.. Weber still
has the trunk, which he shows to visit
ors to his home as strongly illustrating
tie truth Of his story.

him at a certain tall tree at three
p. m.
When they arrived he climbed TO a
high limb and jumped off, holding two
open umbrellas in his hands. He ex-
pected to come down easy, like the
parachute man, but the umbrellas
turned wrong side out and he struck
the ground so hard that il took the
boys several minutes TO bring him to,
although the branches through which
he tumbled broke his fall. The doc

THE DUTY OF TOLERANCE.
Respect for the Honest Opinion aud
Convictions of Others should he
Carefully Cultivated.

Intolerance carries with It a lack
OF belief in the sincerity of others,
and lack of respect for the opinion
or others. The chances are that the
man who differs from as in some
question Of belief has thought 1t
over as carefully as we have and is
as sincere in his conclusions as we
ore. Tolerance is an obligation upon
US because it shows respect for the
others.
Tolerance as duty is a hard thing
TO MAINTAIN. 1t needs constant
watching and prayerfuI care. For as
soon as a man begins to grant that
another who differs from him NAV be
right, he is in danger of losing some
what of the positiveness of his own
conviction. 1t is not always easy 70
tell where tolerance ends and weak.

and not yield to their errors. Yet the

THE SECRET OF GROWTH.
Christ's Method OF Helping others
A Hint for Parents, Friends
and Teachers.

eve can't make things grow" said
an old gardener, significantly. Eve
can only get them TO grow" That
is wide distinction, and one which
applies TO human as well as plant
growth. The secret of the promotion
of growth is not what we do to the
plant or the soul, but what we do
for it. Our work must be done
through the medium of changed or
bettered conditions. The only le-
gftimate or effective way 70 induce
growth in others, or in ourselves, is
to make circumstances more favor
able to growth. Stimulate by minis
tering to-that is the Divine law.
Too often we try to force mental
or moral growth by Gliding or
shaming. But this is a wholly I'M
natural and fruitless method-ns
barren of results as would be the
constant uncoyering and squeezing
OF young potato. The only way to
make anything grow faster is 20
draw it out by fulfilling or improy-
= ing the natural conditions of it's ex-
pansion from within. Provide rich
er soil. Supply the elements part
ticularly needed for individual
growth. Water, weed, cultivate
this is the secret of both the plant
gardener and the soul gardener. Is
not nourishment the basis of all real
stimulus?
The wise parent friend, teacher,
helper, viii never use accusation OF
complaint as "A means of growth pro-
motion. That method only offends
and stunts. To quietly improve the
conditions and materials for the ma
turai expansion of mind or soul, Is
the only reasonable, effective method
1t was Christ's method; and none
was ever so successful as He in ex.

admiration for the boy who tries TO do
something bright, even if he fails.
Sometimes such an one is so carried

BOTH FOUGHT WELL.
Fisherman's Fierce Midnight Battle
with a Lobster.
For n Time 1t Looked ms N the Mon.
ster CrustaceRn Would Win, But
= at tho Last the Mans stRaa-
egy Prevailed.

A midnight battle with giant lob
ster, armed with powerful claws and
worked up to good fighting trim, was
fought by Charles McVane, fisherman
and resident of Long Island, four
miles from Portland, Me-, in Cascoe
bay.
Mr.. McVane had been fishing all
day with Indifferent success and had
decided to pull up and start for
shore, so he loosened the sail of his
16-foot dory, and, with freshening
breeze from the eastward behind him,
came bowling in from the cod
lodges. AS he neared Ram island,
which Is a barren strip of land with
| bold, rocky shores and entirely de-
void of trees, he spied a large flock
Of sea duck huddled together IN one
| of the tiny coves that run up into
the shores of the island. McVane is
| an enthusiastic sportsman as well as
| fisherman, and the sight of the ducks
had aroused his sporting instincts
and made him forget the cheerful
fireplace of his own cottage. So
| ardent did this duck hunter become
in the pursuit of his game that he
was surrounded by the chilly gloom
Of en- April night almost before he
knew it. The wind, too, was becom-
ing decidedly more boisterous.
McVane is a man of action. With
sweeping glance at sea and sky, and
not even stopping to pick up the last
duck he had shot, he turned his
boats bow toward the island and
beached it well up on a strip of sand
on the lee shore, but despite all his
precautions and his past experiences
! the fisherman made one bad mistake.
He neglected TO pull his dory out of
the reach of the highest tides.
McVane had been asleep, as he

Times.
"Madame-madame, where are you
trying to take me?" he demanded.
"I-youl" she xtammered.
"YeS-look there!" He pointed TO
the floor, and In an instant she had
graSped the situation By mistake in
cropping she had found the lacing Of
his shoe, which she had taken for the
other end Of her own, and had fas-
tened so carefully together that it
took the gentleman quite five min
utes to effect a release, under the
amused chances of the other occupants
of the car, which had traversed twice
that number of blocks before the lady
was ready to give another signal

when he was suddenly awakened by
an 10y cold stream of water triclling
under him and running up his trou-
sers legs. Scarcely had he regained
his senses when this forerunner of
the deluge was followed by a mighty
onrush of water that took him, his
boat, and everything else in its way,
pounding up the beach. Such was the
force of the wave that a heavy piece
of driftwood was hurled against Nc
Vane's head with sufficient force to
render him unconscious for q few
seconds.
When he recovered he was lying
high and dry on the beach, but he
had horrible choking sensation,
and his neck and throat felt as
though clasped in vice. Clutchin1
with his hand he grasped the hard,
cold shell of a monster lobster. He
seized the claw that gripped his
throat and tried to break its hold,
but the sturdy fisherman had been
weakened by the blow on the head
and the immersion in the icy water.
The giant crustacean chung with all
the tenacity of its nature and the
strength its unusual size gave it.
McVaine rolled over on TO his
stomach and pinned the lobster un-
der him; then he tried once more to
force the cruel Jaws apart, but,
though he moved them slightly, he
was yet too weak to do anything
more, For fully five minutes the
fisherman and the lobster struggled.
one TO release himself, the other to
maintain its hold.
Perhaps the weight of the mans
body was too much for the lobster
OF perhaps he repented of his mid
night assault for it suddenly relaxed

seized the lobster just back of the
head and the base Of the claws, the

the Shiny sides of which afforded no
hold for the prisoners claws and
thus kept it safely until daybreak.
McVane then whitfield ont wooden
Iplugs, which he drove IN the Joint of
the big claws, shutting their jawz
and rendering them powerless.
He found his dory beached high
and dry. and as soon as he had
washed it out and dragged it to the
water started for home with his
Iprize.
McVane took the lobster to Port
land and turned IL over to Taxider-
mist John A. Lord, who has lust
finished mounting it. This monster
