FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
The Ecys Who Thought Thompson
Seton Was a "Req'lar Bird"

If Ernest Thompson Seton chose,
he could write a book on his lectur-
ing adventures that might prove as
interesting, though in very differ
ent way, as his "Lives of the Hunt
ed" The other evening he was stop
ped at the theater door by half a
dozen ragged boys, one of whom

eyes,"
"Well, say, won't you give us a
pass?"
"How many are there of you?''
"Only eleven" (others now ap-
pearing).
Mr.. Thompson Seton called his
manager and said:
'Pass these eleven boys."
''There's eighteen now," said the
spokesman.
Cali right; pass eighteen" said
the man of the beasts, for he never
sends a child away if he can help it.
During the hour and a half lecture
he had no more appreciative hearers
than those eighteen newsboys. After
it was over he stepped out the back
way, and here were the eighteen
waiting as before.
Their spokesman now came for
ward and expressed the sentiments
of the others in language more
forceful than ornithologically cor
rect:
'Say, mister, that-was-great!
You're no jay. You're a bird-a
regular bird!"

When the Trustees Come. .
Sometimes when me ant an the rest

Sometimes when me an all the rest
Are busy on a sum
The teacher says, Now, look your best
Before the trustees come.''
An then she picks up ev'ry scrap
An rubs the blackboard down,
An we just sit with hands in lap,
When the trustees come aroun.
1t seems SO awful long to US
To sit SO still an straight,
But we just das ent make a fuss
While they investigate,
An if we even whisper low
We see the teacher froWn,
An ev'rything must be just so
When the trustees come aroun'.
Then Squire Jubb will take his stand
An read from off a card
An ask where did John Cabot land
Or something just as hard,
An then he'll ask, one at a time.
To write the oceans down,
An you must have your nemry prime
When the trustees come aroun'.
An while the squire turns his face
An talks on cold an heat
Young DR.. Jones has found place
Beside the teachers seat,
An she just shows his words confuse
An lets her eyes drop down,
But we must mind our "p's" and "q's"
When the trustees come arOun'.

The Sultan and Coffee.

The su]tan's diet is very simple
He eats very little of the plainest
food and never touches wine or
liquors of any kind, but consumes
enormous quantities of coffee, which
aggravates his nervousness. Up to
a few years ago a servant with 4
coffeepot always followed him when
he went out for exercise, and while
driving in the park coffee stations
were placed at frequent intervals
where he could stop and refresh
himself. By the advice of his ply

BuGuested Name For Sister Boat to

William Gillette, the author-actor
and playwright, is an enthusiastic
boatman. When he was a boy in
Hartford, Conn.,, when his father
was the founder Of the suburb of
Glenwood, he spent almost all his
leisure constructing paddle boats on
the Harrington river. When Gil
lette got rich, he built a roomyhouse-
boat called the Holy Terror. Cum
bersome as the craft was, she had her

The Hudson, just below Grants

he started away, the machinery of
his Holy Terror got aWry, and the
houseboat ran amuck through lot
of little catboats and rowboats an
chored along shore, tearing away
rigging, dories and everything in

SLEEP AS AN INVESTMENT.
Burning the Candle at Both Ends Is
Bad Business.

One great secret of Napoleon's
power was his ability to sleep. If
he had but an hour for sleep, he
slept an hour, even though the fate
Of an army or of an empire hung in
the balance while he slept. General
Grant was another great example of
this ability to lay aside work at quit
ting time. Even in the Wilderness
campaign, when the responsibility
of the movements of the nations
armies, stretched out in battle line
a thousand miles long, lay on his
shoulders; when his good night COM
mands involved all night marching
and fighting Of his Army vi the Po-
tomac and his waking orders might
mean victory or defeat, the killing
or the saving of a thousand men
under it all he lay down and drop
ped to sound sleep as quickly as you
or [ when we read ourselves sleepy
over an old story book. Grant had
what a great writer has called a
'Ffrictionless mind" He saved for
the wear Of work what others throw
away on the tear Of worry.
Here is q sample of the other ex
IRENE: Said a Minneapolis lawyer to
me recently: "When I began the
practice of law, l always lost two
nights before I had case in court,
tossing about and combating every
thinkable stand point of my oppo-
nent. And I lost as much sleep aft
erward upbraiding myself for not
having thought Of certain points at
certain pat occasions in the progress
Of the case" Of what value we're
these night thoughts to this young
attorney? About as much value as
night sweats to a consumptive! I
venture to say that all the business
planning a man docs in life while
lying on his back at night isn't
worth an hours good thinking on
his feet on one June morning. As
compared with the sleep it displaces,
such night thinking isn't worth for
ty winks after dinner. Burning til"
candle at both ends sometimes
makes a fine bonfire, but it always
makes a bad grease spot of a gool
