Cow Kentunay Put Out Light.

When Plus Whallen Of Springfield,
KY, came to the Fifth Avenue hotel
he saw his first incandescent lamp.
But he evinced no great surprise. It
was not until he went to his room,
where the bellboy had already
switched the current that he noticed
there was no opening in the circular
globe.
He blew upon Il gently, and was en-
couraged rather than disheartened to
find that Ii didn't blow back. But
the encouragement turned to anger
when stronger whiff produced no re-
suit whatever. Mr.. Whallen has
strong lungs. and he did his best, his
Indignation increasing with each eff
fort.
TO his great relief he noticed that
the string by which the strange light
was suspended contained loop to
shorten 1t. The light hung over the
dresser Mr.. Whallen let out the loop
and put the light in the top drawer OF
the dressed. He closed the drawer and
found to his satisfaction that the room
was In Stygian darkness. So he lag
down and slept peacefully with no
light to annoy him. Louisville Her.

And 1t came TO pass that in the very
height of modern times an arbitrary
tyrant ruled over great country call
ed America. The name OF this tyrant
was verybodydoesit, and AZ the in
habitants of the land bowed themselves
to his will.
Terror of the autocrat caused grown

cramping growing organs, yet mothers
whispered under their breath the name
of erybodydoesit and the evil went
on. Men bought houses and European
passages, automobiles and other ex-
pensive luxuries, the cost OF which was
out of all proportion to their income.
"Everybodydoesit" was the explana-
ton they gave.
Sorriest of all was the case of the
young girls. They patronized un-
wholesome plays, read books produced
by diseased minds, they overdressed,
abandoned the gentle ideals OF their
mothers day and grew old before their
time. "Everybodydoesit." they said.
And thus 1t was in all classes OF soci-
ETY. throughout the broad land. All
men and women, young and old, recog-
nized the sway of Everybodydoesit and
bowed their necks to his yoke.-PhiIa-

ITEMS FROM ITALY.

Preliminary plans are in progress for
the revival Of the Olympian games at
Rome In 1908.
The American flag Is scarcely ever
seen In Italian waters. 1t is thirty
years since the last American sailing
vessel entered the port OF Genoa.
The foreign" colony In Florence,
Italy, is not SO large as 1t used to be,
many of the wealthy families having
made their homes In Cairo, Egypt.
The chances of preventing the ulti-
mate collapse of the Doges' palace In
Venice have been greatly increased by
removing from 1t the library of 350. 1000

The removal Of Tintoretto's large
painting OF 1.-THE Last Judgment" In
the Doges' palace in Venice revealed
no fewer than fifty cracks In the wall.
They were promptly filled with cement

An Accommoaation Train.

In the lake district of England there
Is a tiny railway which has only one
train run by two officials, one OF whom
Is managing director, ticket collector,
guard and porter and the other chief
engineer engine driver and stoker. The
train stops anywhere. 1t frequently
goes off the line, but crowbars are car
ried, with which the train is persuaded
to return to Its proper position. When
a friend of either official is observed
the train is brought to standstill At
one time, when the managing director
was counting the daughter Of farmer
through whose lands the line ran, the
young lady would take her stand at a
certain gate every evening, the train
would be stopped, and the young man
would kiss her good night.

Senator Nelson w. AIdrich Of Rhode
Island tells this story on himself. He
was in New York recently and stopped
at the Fifth Avenue hotel for several
days. The first night he was in town
an elderly woman stopped him near
the hotel and said:
please. sir will you tell me the
way to Harlem?"
Harlem exclaimed the senator;
"why, my good woman, you are about
two miles from there and ! should nd
wise you to take a cab"
SIS it as far as that" observed the
woman. '"Then I'll have to walk"
and she sighed heavily as she drew
her shawl more tightly over her shout
ders.
THE senator's heart was touched.
"Let me assist you, madam" he SAID.
Here are two dollars"
God bless you, sir" said the wom-
an, fervently.
Two nights later the senator again
was stopped near the hotel by the
same woman.
please, sir, can you tell me the way
to HarIem?" she asked.
"Good, Lord, woman, haven't you
got to Harlem YETI" he replied as he

consist one-third of chat and gossip,
one-third OF scales and exercises and
one-third of the singing Of the pupils

just enough commentator and criti-

HAWTHORNE'S WORKS.
The High Standard They Have Set
For American Literature.

For American Literature.
Two things are to be remembered
when Hawthornes name is mentioned
First, the glory he reflects upon Amer
lean literature. Little has been done
by us in letters or art that is quite of
the highest order except the works OF
Hawthorne. These have the clear
promise of perpetuity. The themes are
of supreme and universal moment. He
rises to their meaning and depicts them
in commensurate form. He is not a
who paints, yet not without heart
that throbs In pity and fancy that
muses. over the wonder of it and will
not suffer the pail Of darkness to hang
over 1t forever. That we have in Haw-
thorne an author whose work in these
high fields Of thought Is crowned with
untmpeachable honor and is sure of
perpetual remembrance is a constant
satisfaction as years go by.
But Hawthorne has a wider claim
upon our gratitude-na the fact
that he has set the seal of glorious
achievement in letters upon the moral
laws of our nature. The greatest
things done In literature have been of
this sort. They alone, from Job down,
are remembered and cherished in the
ages. Hawthorne is our only exponent
of genius in this field, and how superb
ly has he filled it! His message is that
of Dante ard st. Paul and all great
whatever a man does to an
other he does to himself, whether 1t be
good or evil. Men will forever dwell
in this truth and will never forget
those gifted souls who see 1t clearly
and set it forth in perfect forms OF lit
erarY art.-CenturE-
