CHINESE EDITORS
REJECTION SLIP

A lately returned missionary from
China says that the Chinese editors
have troubles with poets, too, but their
methods of turning down" are more
polite than those Of an American ed
itor
The following is translation of a
Chinese editors rejection slip:
Most mighty prince Of the magic
pen, we have read your poem with
heavenly bliss, and have found it more
beautiful than the Seven Songs of Sue
Chuan, more brilliant than the sun
and with more wisdom than the Thir-
teen Original Proverbs, and to publish
it in our paper would give us more
happiness than promise of heaven,
but SO impossible would it be for any
one ever to hope to produce a work
of literature even approaching yours
in excellence that we feel it Our duty
to refrain, for fear of evermore dis
couraging the poets of His Majesty's
Empire and causing them to dash out
their brains in despair. Therefore, we
return your mighty work of genius
and grovel before you in the dust as
your base-born slave,
THE EDITOR"

by disappointed inventor OF his
sterling manhood, the results would
have been adequate.
For we need evidences of supreme
honesty and heroic courage all the
time. The more we have, the better
we be. And nothing is drawer and
more honest than such an admission
of defeat. An acknowledgment with
out palliation or attempted excuse.
Every success is based upon a
thousand failures. Men do not add to
the SUM of human knowledge, or to
the application of it to the problems
of daily life, by leaps and bounds. If
the mountain of human progress could
be cut by plane and the different
strata studied, as we read the story of
creation through the riven mountain
side, it would be found that the ad-
vance was the Slowest of which the
mind could take cognizance, that the
successive Increments were inhnitesi-
NAL. Line upon line, precept upon
precept, here little and there a lit
tie"
And the epoch-naking discoveries
or applications which seem such as
tonishing and unexpected leaps in the
dark, because we are ignorant of the
steps which precede them, are, after
all, only the legitimate and natural
outcome of thousands and thousands
of failures.
The man who puts the cap-stone
upon some building erected by the
toiling millions, gets the glory in the
eyes of the world, but his contribution,
after all, is not so much greater than
that of those whose failures made his
success possible.
This is word to the discouraged,
to those who have failed. Who knows
but in the Providence of God your fail
ure has laid the foundation of success,
and that you may be the unknown,
unremembered benefactor of millions
of people yet to come? Think on that
possibility, then, and don't get discour-
aged because you have not, you can
not succeed.
"Life is leaf of paper white
Whereon each one of us may write
His word or two, and then comes
night.

time
But for line, be that sublime

also shown in pongee effects, and will

Mica goggles attached to the wells are
also seen, but the favorite mica eye

mounted in calfskin.
The latest automobile coats are ex-
ceedingly smart with their deep collars
and leather trimmings. Navy blue,
gray and brown cravanette is mostly
used
Automobile hampers are shown

squares joined on top and in the back,
and is finished with a bow of ribbon

Menu Card Ideas.

Nothing is prettier for a dainty
luncheon than the ribbon menu This
consists Of nine-inch length of
broad satin ribbon, with a floral en-
blem and the word Menu painted
on it.
Another idea is the swan menu,
which is cut out of deckled cardboard.
The tail feathers are first cut, and the
word Menu printed at the top with
the bill of fare underneath. The head
and wings of the bird are then cut
separately, and piece of baby ribbon
in the shape of loop attached to the
head and over the tail feathers to keep
the different parts of the anatomy
together.

Susanna, unluckily. had never heard
of art. She had set out to have a
white frock, and white it must be. She
took her new web down in the
meadow beside the spring house, wet
it with weak soapsuds, and stretched
it smoothly on the grass. Because
time pressed, and the wedding day
came on apace, she wet and turned it
three times day. In hot summer sun
shine it bleached very fast, but time so
ambled withal that Susanna was fain
at last to cut off the skirt and sew it,
making it straight, with deep hem
and tuck or two. Then she spread it
back on the grass while she made the
body and sleeves.
Skirt and body were joined at last,
after half the wedding cake was baked.
And then there was the washing and
starching. Susanna had no hand in
that Black Ailsa, who had been her
nurse, turned the frock out as stiff as
a board, and as smooth as glass.
The fashion of it would look queer
indeed to a modern bride. 1t had a
pointed waist, with the full skirt
French-gathered around it; scant Ell
bow sleeves. almost as tight as the
skin, and ending in three ruffles of real
lawn; ruf1es that formerly had graced
the wrists of the stepmother's first
husband. The gown came high in the
neck, and was finished with the only
bit of lace Susanna owned. The skirt
was short enough to show her white
home-knit stockings and low, buckled
prunella shoes.
Her bridegroom was as proud of heI
as he deserved to be, even though she
had no gloves to hide the eallouses
which theN spinning had made on he1
fingers. AS for her father, old Bot
was so impressed by her grit that he
bought her gorgeous secondary
outf1t-nothing less than blue stuff
petticoat and lowered chintz short
gown to loop away from it. Better
still, he did not grudge the hogsheac
of tobacco the hnery cost him.

Nothing, madam" answered the
gruff old soldier, unless it be vic
tory!'
what" asks the thoughtless inves-
tigator of to-day, lis more magnificent
than a success?'
Nothing" replies the wise man,
who has been taught by experience.
unless it be failure"
The other night the editor of one OF
our great magazines gave dinner to
one of the most distinguished scien-
fists in the country, Professor S. P.
Langley, the head of the Smithsonian
Institution. He had assembled at his
table company of men whose names
are as familiar as household words. "
They were men eminent in every walk
of life. They came gladly to pay their
respects to the guest of honor, who
had tried to do something and had
not done it.
When he was called upon to address
the gathering he told them in his
clear, perspicuous way just what he
had endeavored to accomplish. He
pointed out how far he had succeeded
and wherein he had failed. With the
simple modesty characteristic of true
greatness, he alluded to the fact that
he had given some forty years, and
those the best Of his life, to an under
taking without achieving success.
a am too DID, he said quietly, in
conclusion, ito begin again. Other
men must take up the work and bring
it to the desired end Confident am
that it will be brought about, but never
by me-
The room rang with applause. Man
after man, and they were people whose
opinions have weight because they
spoke from authority begot by knowl-
edge, arose and complimented the
speaker. They predicted that success
was at hand. They declared that when
it did come it would be due more to
the efforts of that scientist than to any
other cause whatsoever. Although
Professor Langley's aerodrome ended
it's flight and his hopes by plunging
beneath the Potomac, yet in no short
time other machines built by other in
ventors, taking advantage of his ex-
periments, would cleave the air; and,
as Tennyson said years ago, celestial
navies' would some day "grapple in
the central blue"

ments, if that expenditure of treasure,
if those long years of devotion, had

Leather Bags.

The most exclusive thing shown in
bags is the levant leather with verdi
girls copper mountings. Such bag
is really a symphony in shades of
green and brown. which will harmo-
nize with nearly any color.
Another new bag is shown in walrus
with the bali clasp like the Netsuki Of
the Japanese, the craze for which is
still upon us. This ball is said to be
quite as convenient to carry the bag
by as the chain, after one becomes
used to it.
The Peggy From Paris" is the
pride of shoppers, for it is capable of
holding so much. 1t comes in cloth,
leather and suede velvet, usually plain.
The bag known as the ''Flatiron"
bids fair to be popular among the
fads in leatherdom. 1t comes in all
colors of levant leather.
Pongee silk bags with Bulgarian
embroidery are to be much used with
pongee gowns this season.
