How a Statesman
Was Started

lOriginal.
One spring morning when the buds
were opening Howard Lane. young
New Yorker, left bis room On Central
Park West and entering the park
strolled along the Mall smoking d
cigarette. Presently he looked up at a
man passing him and saw that he was
the very counterpart Of himself. Each
stopped and stared at the other.

Nor any Lanes"
The two passed an hour together,
each now and agnin looking up at the
other In wonder, almost fancying be
had mirror before him. But. while
they were identical in face and figure,
they soon noticed that they were very
unlike IN disposition. Lane was philo-
sophical, analytical, critical, cynical
indeed, everything that ends In all
but he was man of intellectual vigor.
Spencer was an optimist and very
shallow. He was on his way from
San Francisco to Europe.
