Horace Greeley and an Autograph.
In his "RecOllections of a Busy Life
Horace Greeley tells the story Of how
he once dealt very effectively with a
persistent autograph hunter. A gush-
ing youth wrote to Greeley as follows:
Dear Sir-Among your literary treasures
you have dpc5tless preserved several au-
tographs of DER country's late lamented
poet, Edgar A1laa Poe. If so, and you
ea,, spare one. cease inclose it to me n
receive the thanks of yours truly. -
To which Greeley replied:
Dear Sir raong my literary treasures
there happei.a to be Just one autograph Of
our country s late larsented poet. Edgar
Allan Foe. 1t Is q note of hand for $50,
with my tnse--3m II across the back. 1t
cost me exactly SOD. including protest,
and yoa :aesf .asc It for half that
amount. Yours respectfully,
HORACE GREELEY.
The autograph was fond among
Grecley's passessia.ss after his death.
Dntch Courage.
Every one when he speaks Of Dutch
courage mea courage that is Induced
by the cup that cheers and also inebri-
ates-pot yaliancy, in short, the exact
opposite of what has b~een@called two
Notwithstanding courage. Three
different origins of the expression have
been suggested. According to some,
1Dutch'' In this case is used simply as
the adjective corresponding to the
moo Hollands" as applied to that
kind of ardent spirits. Others assert
positively that the phrase arose as a
sheer at the Dutch troops who showed.
the white feather of Fontenoy. But
perhaps the best explanation is that
this uncomplimentary allusion to the
Dutch refers to a practice common in
former times IN Holland Of encourag-
ing those who were condemned to ex-
ecution to drink heavily before they
were banged.
Imitation.
Nell-It's an opal ring Mr.. Cheapside
gave me. Belle examining i)-Er--do
you like it? Nell-Yes, but there's that
old superstition. you know. I'm afraid
1t will bring me bad luck. Belle-non't
worry. The worst this could bring you
would be an imitation ofsbad luck

After 1900 OF Napoleon's soldiers
had beer overwhelmed by the advance
of $4,000 Austrian troops he addressed
them thus; II am d~lspleased with you,
You have eyinced neither discipline nor
valor. You have allowed yourselves to
be driven from positions where a hand
full Of resolute men might have arrest
ed an army. You are no longer French
soldiers. Chief OF staff, cause 1t to be
written on their standards, They are
no longer of the army Of Italy,"
In tears the battered veterans re-
piled: 1--WE have been misrepresented.
The soldiers Of the enemy were three
to one. Try us once more. Place us
in the post of danger and see If we do
not belong to the army Of Italy" In
the next battle they were placed in the
van, and they made good their pledge
by rolling back the great Austrian ar

He is a pretty poor sort OF man who
loses courage and fears to face the
world just because he has made a mis-.
take or a slip somewhere, because his
business has failed, because his prop
erty has been swept away by some gen
eral disaster or because Of other trou-
BILE impossible for him to avert.
This is the test Of your manhood,
How much Is there left In you after
you have lost everything outside of
yourself? If you lie down now, throw
up your hands and acknowledge your,
self worsted there is not much in you.
But If with heart undaunted and face
turned forward you refuse to give up
or TO lose faith in yourself, If you scorn
to beat a retreat, you will show that
the man left In you is bigger than your
loss, greater than your cross and larger
than any defeat.

said Emerson, "as that tenaclty of pur-
pose which, through all changes of
companions or parties or fortunes,
changes never, bates no jot Of heart or
hope, but wearies out opposition and
arrives at it's port"
1t Is men like Ulysses S. Grant, who,
whether in the conflict of opposing ar,
mics on the battlefield or In the wear
and tear of civic strife, fighting against
reverses, battling for a competence for
his loved ones, even while the hand Of
death lay chill upon him, bates no jot

Correggio ana Hts life.

Little Is known OF Correggio, which
would argue that he was of a retiring
disposition. He was born In the little
town Of Corregglo, twenty-four miles
from Parma. In the latter city he was
educated, but in his seventeenth year
an outbreak OF the plague drove his
family to Mantua. BY 1914 he was
back In Parma. For some years he
worked here and painted many famous
pictures. 1t may have been because Of
grief over the death of his young wife,
but at the age of thirty-six. indiffer-
ent to fame and fortune, he retired to
the little town where he was born. All
that Is known regarding his death Is
the date, March 8, 1534.-Charles III.
