- The desire to know is nat
ural instinct of the human
race which is as deep-seated as life it
self, and can be traced back through
the history of man to that Hateful day
in the Garden of Eden when Eve want
ed to know, and so tasted of the for
hidden fruit. But, if this irresistible
impulse of man has brought woe to
the human race. it has also brought
blessing. The desire to know the I'M
known has been the path along which
human development and progress have
come 1t was this irresistible force
which drew the queen of Sheba from
the far east to the court of King Sol

his magnifcence and had heard his
wisdom, she returned to her own coun-

The case Of the People against Muir

1860, indicates the attitude toward un-

other
Jacob tried to throw the blame on
Sarah, saying he thought she had with
intent let fall her gloves" Sarah de-

New Yorl1's Toll Men.

Why are there so many ve:y tall men

by visitors to the city. The popularity
is so patent that it very soon forces j.

sees quite as many of in Pittsburg or
Chicago as you do in New York, but

was dying of typhoid fever he turned
to an old colleague who was sitting be-
side his bed and said to him:
"My friend, 1 am lost, but it is some
consolation to know that my case is
very curious. During the last few
days 1 have noticed some odd symp-
toms, and 1 am studying them care
fully"

friend
'That is impossible" replied Bichat

would be quite willing to die"

Georgia evangelist:
When several years ago Mr. Jones
was at Emory Grove camp, the news
paper reports of his sermons caused
him to complain.
At the last service he looked down
at the reporters, who sat at table
just in front of the pulpit, and said:
"And l want to tell you fellows that
1 like you lot in spite of your mani
fold faults. You boys don't treat me
right, though. You take my sermons
and pick out piece here, piece there
and a piece somewhere else. Then
you string the pieces together, and,
naturally, they read funny.

An order That Was Promptly Hon
ored at the Box Once.
Once when Nat Goodwin was play
ing in Chicago two men approached
his manager, who was standing in the
lobby of the theater, and introduced
themselves as a couple of actors. Their
names were entirely unknown to him,
and they had nothing to show that
they were what they claimed to be.
Accordingly he refused to give them
seats, but they were persistent. One
of the men in particular was offensive
ly so. He shook his fist under the
managers nose and demanded who it
was that dared refuse him passes
''Pll see Mr.. Goodwin he declared
I'll see if a little whipper snapper
like you can refuse me seats. You don't
know who we are, eh? Well, who are
you? Let's see your card. I'll see Mr.
Goodwin about it."
The manager, who feared a scene.
handed over one of his cards and told
the men he was responsible and quite
willing to take the consequences of re-
fusing to give them seats.
A few minutes later the two men
came back to the theater. One of them
had written pass two" on the man
ayers card. He presented the card at
the box office, and it was promptly
honored Then they went in.
When, half an hour later, the man
ayers attention was called to what
had been done, he was at first inclined
to take some severe action, but later
he saw the joke on himself
LET them alone" he said. eff they've
got nerve enough to do that, they are
entitled to seats. You had better send
an usher down and ask them if they
wouldn't like a box."-Chicago Trib-
