johnson Before Boswell.

1t must not be forgotten that the
picture of Johnson that Boswell gives
us is picture of Johnson in his de-
clining years, his character formed,
his work for the most part done The
johnson whom we all know in the
famous biography. the Great Cham"
of literature, the founder of the
famous club, the revered philosopher
whose grotesque antics moved his
friends to alternate awe and laugh
ter, the tender-hearted and rough
hammered man who bullied the strong
and bowed humbly to the weak. was
the product of long life amid an
environment unknown to Boswell eX-
cept by report. and of an heredity
which, had he known, he could not
have appreciated.-T. M. Parrott, in
Booklovers Magazine.

Ancient Time,

The early Egyptians divided the
day and night each into twelve hours,
a custom adopted by the Jews or the
Greeks probably from the Babyloni-
ans. The day is said to have first
been divided into hours from b. C. 293.
when sun dial was erected in the
temple of Quirinus at Rome. Previous
to the invention of water clocks, B. C.
15S, the time was called at Rome by
public crers. In early England one
expedient of measuring time was by
wa: candles, three inches burning an
hour. The first perfect mechanical
clock was not made until about A. d.
1850. Day began at sunrise among
most of the northern nations, at sun
set among the Athenans and Jews, at
midnight among the Romans, as with
us.

ARCHIE RoosEvEL1's PONY,
How = Pony Rode in an Elevator at
the White House.

Archie Roosevelt, while recovering
from an attack of measles, had a Wis
itor the other day, whose call will do
more to restore him to health than all
the medicine the doctor can give him,
says Washington dispatch. Soon
after Archie began to convalesce he
begged to be allowed to see his spot
ted pony, Algonquin, which is his con-
stant companion when he is well. 1t
was too soon for Archie to leave his
room and Mrs. Roosevelt was COM
PEELED to decline the request.
Charles, the groom, who looks after
Algonquin and who also is a great
chum of Archie, thought the matter
over and concluded that if Mr.. Archie
wanted to see his pony he should do
So
Without confiding his plan to any
one he led the pony the other day into
the White House and along the corri-
dor into the elevator The elevator
men were too much surprised to say a
word until after the elevator had dis
appeared. When the second floor was
reached Charles led the pony into
Arches room and ushered it in.
10 say that Archie was delighted ex-
presses it mildly and the pony also
seemed to enjoy his visit.
This is the first time that horse
has ridden in a White House elevator.

Mildred Ayres drew away from the
frantic clasp and the tragic eyes up
turned to hers. She almost wished
that she had given Juan her answer
at once.
She had decided in her heart that IL
should be yes" but with a woman
perversity, she had wished to defer
surrender. And now
He was mine always before yoa
came. Never. even when he went
away to school, did he care for an
other woman-only me. And now, L
you will go away. he will forget-anl
come back to me-
That night Mildred Ayres reasoned
with herself.
THE girl is right. l do not love him
as she does. And can live without
him. | love him for what he can give
me-surcease from anxiety, respons.,
bility and drudgery. She loves him
for his own splendid self. | might tire
of him, or tire him. She never would.
And So"
Then she wrote curt little note,
which belied the tears she had to wipe
away lest they blot the words.
The next evening, with that curt
note crushed in his burning palm. Juan
sylvia rode back from San Francisco to
Baden.
Disappointment, wounded pride and
fiery temper gave the black horse
hard run, and it took only an hour to
reach Bonitas garden, where, in the
twilight, she gathered violets.
On an eastbound express. a woman
looked backward toward the setting
sun and murmured:
Il wonder if the girl was right?
Will he go back?"
For how could she know that in the
violet garden tremulous lips were pray.

At the Baden Corral

Juan Sylvia leaned from his saddle
to his own.
Why weren't you at the corrals to
day. Bonita? | watched all day and
not one sight of your beautiful face
rewarded me-"
No, senior, l was busy in the gar
den. You must remember that this is
violet time, and the time is short, so
they must be watered and gathered
each day But | thought of you
yes-often, and the violets whispered
of you"
Then. with swift blush. she
dropped her eyes shyly, and-saw her
shabby shoes and coarse skirt.
When she looked up again. Ivan
was shutting his lips firmly. He'nad
started to speak. but now, sitting
erect, he gathered up the RATA which
hung from his saddle and remarked
cheerily:
We'll. the father must surely let
you come tomorrow. We are to have
great time at the corrals. for we
have 500 new cayuses and a newspa-
per reporter will be there to write up
and take cut pictures. Maybe you
would like to see how she does it?"
"She?' questioned Bonita breath
lessly. Is she pretty?"
No, | believe not" answered Juan
carelessly. AT least-well, you can
see her for yourself tomorrow
Then swinging the sombrero from
his handsome head, he put the spurs
to his horse and was soon out of
sight
Bonita stood with tightly clasped
hands. watching the fog as it rolled up
from the sea to swallow the strong,
erect figure on the galloping horse.
Yes, will go tomorrow. if only to
see this girl. Something tells me
but no, you must love me. You must
you have loved me always. l know
it, know it," she sobbed passionately.
And Juan Sylvia?
He, too, was murmuring to himself,
or was it to the image of a 1.-the, gray
clad figure whose crown of golden
brown hair was half hidden by 4 trim
sailor hat.
Are you beautlful?' he was ask
ing. NO, not beautiful as Bonita AL
varez is. She is lovely. dark-eyed
queen but as Untutored as the vioets
she grows. While you-you make me
think of those other days, of the life
that might be mine, if it were not fer
my old father. Why did he give me
that taste of civilization, only to
snatch me back to this?"
And yet, in his heart, he knew that
only the sight of Mildred Ayres, spe-
cial reporter on the New York Blazer,
had caused the old restlessness to re-
assert itself.
The next morning the corrals pre-
sented an animated scene, and Miss
Ayres with her camera, was on hand
early.
The foreman who received her
spoke English, but poorly, so, after

of Bore.
Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco
tells of an untiring politician who de-
manded a position. To escape him
and kindred men the mayor hied him
self to the suburbs. And in the sub
urbs the applicant halted the mayor
The politician placed his cane behind
him and rested on it as seat. Better
opportunity had never been presented
for arguing his just claim. His fidget-
ing caused the cane to move slightly.
Yes, sir said the Office seeker. Il
am entitled to position in the citys
service and am looking for an open
ing
is there any kind of work to which
you are adapted?" asked the mayor.
The man took courage from the
question and said that any kind of an
opening would suit.
By this time the mans unsteadiness
had brought the cane, which was bear
ing his weight, precariously near a
knot hole. The mayor thought. In
expectancy the applicant shifted his
position. The next instant he was
endeavoring to follow his cane through
hole in the board walk
There" said the mayor very
much relieved, ''is an opening for you.
Try and fill it; if you don't succeed,
see the board of public works. ."-Bos-

struggling shoulders and plying eyes,
she took her embittered way back to
the little garden, where she could pour
her grief into the ears of her violets.
And while Bonita suffered and grew
pale and lost the golden light in her
midnight eyes, the intimacy between
Juan and Miss Ayres grew. There
came day when, as they walked
toward the tiny depot where she was
to take the train for San Francisco
she said to Juan:
Il think this will be my last trip to
Baden, Mr.. Sylvia, for day after to-
morrow start East. How much you
have done to make my stay pleasant
and how much your excellent stories
have helped to advance my position
on my paper, cannot explain to you
Upon these impersonal, convention.
al words broke the voice of Juan.
you shall not go! l love you and
you must stay herewith me. In my
glorious West, where you shall never
write for money again, but only the
most beautiful things, as you feel
them"
Then came torrent of half English,
half-Spanish love phrases that fairly
stunned the New York girl. What
should she say? 1t all sounded so
peaceful so inviting. to one who had
fought her way for several years.
The train came and went, and she
still stood. gazing out to the sea,
where the evening fog and the setting
sun were battling for supremacy At
last she sighed and turned back to
the man.
Tomorrow l will tell you. Come
to my hotel in San Francisco, and you
shall have your answer. And now
that have missed my train, while we
wait for another, let us see one of
these beautiful violet gardens of
which | have heard so much. No; we
will not talk of-love, but of violets. p"
And so it happened that the un,
thinking Juan led her to the home -
| Bonita Alvarez, whose violets We're
the talk of Baden and beyond.
| But when he saw Bonita's face, he
remembered. and cursed himself for
a fool, that he had brought this other
woman to her whom, in an idle mo
ment. he dreamed of loving. So he eX'
cused himself on the plea Of wishing
| to see Alvarez and left the Two girls
! alone.
OF Bonita, Mildred Ayres knew
! nothing. She plunged into the intrica
| cies of violet culture and was amazed
| to feel suddenly a burning hand
clasped on her wrist.
NO, you shall not write. You shall
| listen. Why have you done this to me

have loved me always. but for you
