played by some one. How we fail to
learn our lines and neglect to take up
our cues and hinder better actors from
playing their parts successfully, and
when the curtain falls on the last act
how bitter comes the realization that
our part in the rama of life has
marred what might have been a per-

ABOUT FLATFooTEDNEss.
What Causes II and How 1t May Be
Prevented.

Prevented.
New York Post: Flatfootedness may or
may not be increasing among the mod7
ems, but 1t has at last brought out some
very interesting theories as to why 1t
should be prevalent. Sandow got flatfoot-
ed from lifting heavy weights. according
to the opinion of DR.. Sargent of Harvard.
Children are likely to be afflicted in this
way when they wear spring heels, for the
bones of the instep, In the case OF young
people, depend for keeping their place
upon adequate uppor of the heel. Fat
children find themselves becoming flats
footed because of the abnormal weight
the feet have to sustain. Poor feeding
of the child tends to make 1t fiatfooted,
for the bones of the foot require plenty of
lime to make them firm and strong. Poor
feeding leads to "rickets" as we'll as fiat
~footedness. though the physician who
says 1t does not stop to explain ricketts,.
What used to be called rheumatism OF
the feet now turns out to be fiatfooted-
ness. Persons who go barefooted all the
time are said never to get the trouble, so
we are led to believe that if we wear
shoes ut all we are apt to become as the
big policeman or the mythical Chicago
girl.
If one doctors story Is believed only ole

} An Easter Sketch
I BY Elsie Reasoner

Xerxes was tired. Xerxes was hun
cry. Stopping for a to rest,
he sat down on the lower step Of a
brownstone front. 1t was a bright
Easter morning, and Xe1sxes, despite
his shappy attire, looked about him
with keen appreciation.
Who was he? A "vag," a hobo" a
~"deadbeat,' you might have called him.,
but, according to his own story, a gen
lehman Of limited income and uncer-
tain locality" only a poo devil who
during his youth had known the finer
things of life, but for whom from the
glass Of fate had been poured only dis
appointment and misfortune. The old
story of an indulgsnt father and a
reckless, ~improvident son; Of business
reverses and heavy losses, which wor-
ried the old nan into the grave; Of the
son, now grown, blase and profigate.
having no vocation to call his own, no
experience in his life ave those of a
youth with wealth, at his command and
Bohemia his favorite stamping ground.
Not much upon which to base a foun-
dalton for a practical livelihood. For
years he had drifted aimlessly around,
till, failing to fine his niche in life, he
had, as he expressed 1t, tried to I'LL
the next easiest one, IAN here, on the
lower step OF a prosperous looking
mansion, a fashionable church on the
corner opposite, with the glorious sun
light of the perfect Easter morning
lighting up with IMPLYING accuracy
every detail Of his shabby attire, we
find Xerxes. a gentleman of leisure
otherwise a tramp.
Down the steps OF the house next
door, overwhelming him with their
daintiness and their fresh, young wom-
anhood, came two girls clad in all the
luttering laces and ribbons that go to
make up the fin de steele demoiselle,
They were talking too earnestly TO 40
tice Xerxes, who drew humbly back
that their perfumed skirts might not
brush his soiled garments, and little
did they realize that to the half starved
soul of the poor fellow on the lower
step the sight Of them was like a burst
OF spring, filling his heart with radi-
ant warmth and the memory of hap,
pier days SO long ago.
Look. Nell" said one, blushing an6
holding out q tiny land for inspection
"Ah, how lovely" and Nell bent over
a g%listening jewel on the little finger
From Jack?"
A shy nod gave assent, n as they
passed on their eager young voice!
came back to Kim like sweet music.
"And I once had q sweetheart" HI
unused with a sigh, al I gave her {
ring, too. I remember that I kissed he,
little hand when l placed it on tina
night. All, that night-the sweetness
of it! Where is the little ring now,
wonder, and-whcre Is she?"
A woman's voice t1oated out to HIN
from an open window softly hummins
the refrain from that old serenade:
We're going to leave you now.

HAS NOTHING TO SAY
Refuses to Discuss Political Situation, But Will Talk
If Committee Says So

At IL o'clock a luncheon and infor-
NAL conference took place at the Chi
cago club, at which were present Col
onel New, Representative Tawney, ID.
w. Mulvane, II. B. Schneider, Charles
G.. Dawes anu Liner Dover.
Mr. Tawney, in charge Of the west
ern branch of the speakers bureau ex-
planned to Senator Fairbanks his ideas
about the speaking campaign. He had
talk with Senator N. B. Scott and
Chairman Cortelyou when in New York
and certain plans we're outlined subject
to the approval of Senator Fairbanks.
These were presented and discussed In
an informal manner by the members
of the executive committee.
1t is the idea of the committee that 1t
will not be necessary for Senator Fair
banks to make numerous speeches. He
will, however, go to Kansas and a
number of western states and 1t is not
unlikely that he will speak in Chicago
on Labor day, though he said he would
be guided as to this by the judgment OF
the campaign managers.
