AS Ir YOU WERE SOMEBODY
That Is the way TO walk, Says This
Writer, and His Advice n
Worth Needing.

Never allow your physical standard
to drop Keep up yonr energy; walk
as II you were somebody and we're GO
ing to do something worth while in the
world, so that even stranger will
note your bearing and mark your SUI
periority. II you have fallen into a
habit Of walking in llstless. indolent
way. turn right about face at once and
make a change, advises o. 5. Marden.
In Success You don't want to shuttle
along like the failures we often seU sit
ting around on park benches or loiling
about the streets. with their hands IN
their pockets or haunting intelligence
Offices. and wondering why fate has
been SO hard with them. You don't
want to give people the impression
that you are discouraged. or that you
are already falling to the rear.
Straightsn up, thenl Stand erectt BE
a mani You are child OF the Infinite
King. You have royal blood IN your
veins. Emphasize II BY your bearing.
A man who Is conscious OF his kInship
with God. and Of his power and who
believes thoroughly in himself. walks
with a firm. vigorous step. with his
head erect. his chin in, his shoulders
thrown back and down, and bis chest
well projected in order 10 give large
lung capacity; he Is the man who does
things.
You cannot aspire. or accomplish
great or noble things so long az you as
sumo the attitude and bearing Of a
coward or weakling. II you would be
noble and do noble things, you must
look up. You were made TO look up
ward and to walk upright. not to look
down OF to shamhle along In semi
horizontal position. Put character. dig
nifty, nobility into your walk

TALES ABOUT MANUSCRIPTS
Stories and Poems Of Famous Authors
That Narrowly Escaped
Destruction.


Many a priceless manuscript has
been lost TO the public and later found
IN some improbable place wnere It's
value was unguessed. The original
Magma Chsrta was found by Sir Rob
ert Cotton in his tailor's shop The
man was IN the act Of cutting the
document into measures when Sir
Roberts attention was attracted TO
some strange looking seals which
were hanging from t. Though he had
no idea what the parchment was, he
purchased II for a few pence. To-day
II lies in the British museum In a
glass case and could not be bought at
any price. says London paper.
Half century ago Tennyson's mas
terpiece, In Memoriam. was rescued
just In time from a cupboard where
the pNet kept his bachelor supply OF
pickles and preserves. When Tennysou
quilted his lodgings In Hampstead road
he accidentally left a book OF manu-
scripts In which was his great poem.
He reported the loss 10 Coventry Pat

The landIndy was in the act OF cover

Montaigne's famous journal OF his
Italian travels was found, smothered In
dust, In a worm-caten Golfer in his cha
team. where II had lain for nearly two
centuries. and DIR. Dee's curious manu-
scripts were found In the secret drawer
OF a chest which had passed through
many hands and strange viclssltudes
before It gave up its secret. For two

WRITTEN FoR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
The fearful tune of the scissors cutting
their way through the fancy salaries of
baseball players has reached St. Louis.
and as a result many. of the Browns lave
put Grape on their bank accounts.
So far only two players, Kahoe and big
Jack" Powell. have been heard from en-
the salary question. but the chances are
that several others have had their salaries
cut.
Powell has been the greatest sufferer.
From a salary Of 1850 he has been re-
duced to $3.50. Kahoe has suffered a cut
Of s.So. but very few persons wonder
eon warranted a juicy slice.
The boilermaker and his friends, how

mistreated by Mr.. Hedges, and the upshot
Of the matter is that Powell has broken

But II makes a vast difference who holds
the whip hand. OF course. $500 is an ex-

Powell could have drawn s1.5OO a wear

Powelrs salary would not be reduced.
POWELL A FACTOR.
If Powell sticks to his threat not to
perform for the Browns this season it
will materially lessen the clubs chances
for making any kind Of a showing in the
American League race.
AS a pitcher he has few superiors. OF
course, his showing last year was not as
good as some of the other stars of John
sons league, but when Powell was right
no man in the American League was a
better pitcher.
