THE SAD CASE OF P;ERCIvAL.
~ ERCIVAL Peterkin Ptolemy Jones
Was his mammals pride and her
only son.
And. - she suggested in dulcet tones.
Was really a most remarkable one;
30 when he yelled
His mamma would trot,
And she also ran
If to yell he forgot:
And she kept him in cotton batting. too,
AS an anxious mamma, of course, must
do.
Oh, he was lulu, as every one owns,
This Perciva1 Peterkin Ptolemy Jones.
Now, Percival Peterkin Ptoleny Jones
Was called by his mamma. my ownty
But the neighbors fractured their tele-
phones
BY termfhg him through them, That
underbred scrub!'
At six feet high
He wore knee pants;
He had but to yell,
And his mamma would dance;
And she wore herself both frail and slim
BY running and jumping and waiting on
him.
And did he appreciate? l guess not!
Does the kettle know when the water Is
hot?
Well, his mamma died-it was most un-
kind
And Percival wept, tear or so;S
And the cause of his grief wasn't hard to
find:
He was sorry, quite-for himself. you
know:
And they did not hang
His mammals hope,
For they felt that he
Wasn't worth the rope;
And he still lives on, as such things can,
Much more than boy, much less than a
man;
And the neighbors say, as their heads
they shake,
Just give it name, and the whole thing
take"
Just note the moral-it's tackled right
OF Percival Peterkin Ptolemy Jones:
There is many lad, oh, far or near,
Who a fool mamma to his sorrow owns;
He Is coddled and nursed,
He's his "mamma's hope
But at the end of 1t all
He is not worth rope.

Not long before his death Thomas B.
Reed visited some friends at their sum-
nler residence at Watch Hill, r. J., says
the Boston Herald. Late in the after
noon he was driven up to Westerly to
take the o'clock train for Boston. IT
was a warm evening, the horses Jagged
and he missed the train, the last Bos-
ton-bound train stopping at Westerly
that night.
AS Mr.. Reed had an important en-
gagement in Boston early the next day
he seemed worried until he learned
that there was a Boston express which
passed Westerly at 9 o'clock Then he
smiled.

SHORTHAND RECORD

To the Editor OF The Call:
An effort is being made IN the East
to take away laurels which rfghtfully
belong to this coast and to this city
for the worlds shorthand record The
following dispatch Is sample of the
efforts referred to:
"CHAUTAUQUA. NJ Y, Aug 1s.-
Frederick Irland, official reporter of the
House OF Representatives. was to-day
elected president OF the National As
ISOLATION Of Shorthand Writers and Re-
porters. Irland made a new record at
an exhibition. He wrote on a black
board matter selected by his auditors
at rate of 254 words a minute and
read II in one minute and twenty sec
onds- The previous record was 200
words minute"
1t is a wel1-known fact that the
worlds record Is not held in the East.
but is held In this city by the Superior
Court reporter. Robert F. Gallagher,
who established 1t by writing officially
268 words a minute before the Califor-
MIA State Stenographers' Association at
their convention in 1900 at the Palace
Hotel AS proof of the fact and for
the information of Mr.. Irland's ad-
mirers in the East IN particular beg
to quote from the official report OF the
proceedings, as follows:
AN interesting and novel feature OF
the convention was the exhibition OK
rapid blackboard shorthand writing
by Robert F. Gallagher. which followed
the above paper. Mr.. Gallagher's repu-
tation on the Pacific Coast as rapid
verbatim reporter was made by his
many years service as official reporter
of the Superior Court of San Fran
cisco, and hefhas during the past two
or three years given remarkable eN-
hfbftions of speed writing on the
blackboard On this occasion a NOV
able blackboard was used. which was
too unsteady for the fastest work.
The dictatfon was given by E. A. Cir
win. official reporter of the supreme
Court, who read at the marvellous speed
Of 26S words per minute. the same be-
ing written by Mr.. Gallagher and read
back Immediately without error. The
dictation was somewhat too slow for
the writer, but there was no one pres
ent who could read more per minute.
On a steady blackboard. In the presence
OF Messrs Bontz. Bissell. Rich and
Held. four members of the association,
MIR. Gallagher on the evening previous
10 the exhibition. the matter being
read by Mr.. Bissell of Auburn. estab-
lished the astonishing record of 2S6
words per minute. This record has
probably never been equaled on the
blackboard

Exercising

By hNdELH nORGHN

"HAT necessary quality of forbear-
ance-do you exercise it as you
should Are you careful to make
excuses for others as you make
them for yourself? Can you put your
self in the other fellows place-getting
his view of his actions, as well as your
own view?
You expect others to take your view
of your actions. If you lose your temper
and say things you don't mean, you
think the other fellow most unreasonable
to attach significance to the hasty words
you utter. You regard him as hot-headed
If he flares up and retorts in kind He
ought to keep cool and realize that the
cross, hateful remarks you make are
spoken under the stress of irritated
nerves and keen mental excitement; that
you are not responsible and that after
you have quieted down you will be ready
to retract everything you have said. He
ought to exercise forbearance So you
reason.
And your reasoning is admirable, If you
are consistent enough to apply the same
to yourself. Your prescription is excel
lent-so excellent, indeed, that it will do
you quite as much good to take the
dose as it would the other fellow.
Forbearance! Practice it and you will
be amazed to see what softened outlines
the harsh landscape of life will assume
Only through forbearance is it possible
for one to gain true perspective.
SO much unhappiness and discomfort
in life arises from the inability of people
TO adjust themselves to one another's
peculiarities and failings There are
many who, lacking the quality of
clemency, the faculty of getting another s
view, constantly permit themselves to be
annoyed and distressed by the dispose
tions of those with whom they are asso-
ciated. In families where frequently in
dividuals of strongly marked differences
in temperament are thrown much to-
gether. this infelicity is particularly no.
ticeable.
In business relationships, in social in
there is seen this great need for the
exercise of forbearance.
One man is made wretched bya cranky
employer; another has no peace In. the
presence of a faulty relative One woman
cannot breathe happily when certain
neighbors are about. Wives find the
failings of husbands uncomfortable. Hus-
bands are harassed by the shortcomings
of others.
Only the individual who has good sense
enough to adjust himself to those whom
circumstance has put into his life can
hope to live In peace and satisfaction
In order to successfully adjust oneself
to others the cultivation of an impartial
view is absolutely necessary. The man
or woman who achieves this may go
about undisturbed by the disagreeable
traits of persons who may be unbearable
to others not so poised.

THE KEENEsr PAIN OF ALL.

Pain that you would like to share,
Pain that fills your eyes with wa

Pain of bunion or of tumor,
Pain that Is no idle rumor,
And the awful, awful aching that the

There is pain that knocks you silly,
Pain that leaves you feeling chilly,

When they let nickel go
Is the saddest and the direst and the
keenest pain OF all.
