FOLLOWED HIM TOO FAR.

A SENATOR of the United States from the west
n who first came into prominence as a lawyer IN
California, tells story of the days when he was
struggling for recognition at the bar
any first case,'' says he, was one involving
complicated question of inheritance, and it tried
before the most noted jurist in California. Notwth
standing the complex questions of law involved, de-
termined get at the bottom of things if it took
year to do 1 consulted every authority I could
get my hands on, and, the result of my industry
turned brief that seemed to me unanswerable
1t certainly comprehensive one-a point
which gave me considerable uneasness, for l feared
it might prove too abstruse for the court.
"When my turn came l arose and boldly plunged
into my argument, which covered 200 800 printed
pages To my delight, the judge seemed really inter

a short while [ was conscious that the attention of
the court not intense. An hour or two later
observed signs of positive nattenion, and this too,
in the midst of the most intricate part of my plea.
Just had expected! The court was unable to per-
ceive the fine points of my argument.

pardon, your honor, but do you follow me?'

CHILDREN AND THE THEATER

Nothing can better develop the child
ish imagination and direct it into proper
channels than wisely regulated amount
of theater- going, beginning, let us say,
as early as years, with the panto-
mimic and spectacular productions, and
progressing from these to the simple
and pretty and tuneful comic operas
and musical comedies, which ought to
suffice up till the age Of 10 years, writes
Mabel Taliaferro in the New York
World. say wisely regulated amount,
and would like to emphasize my mean
ing, so as to be in no way construed
as advocating the regular attendance
of children under 10 at any sort of
theatrical entertainments, however ex-
cellent in itself it may be for them.
Until child has reached 10 years
think once or at the utmost twice a
year is sufficient for it to be INDUCED
in this respect. Oftener than this might
be most. dangerous to the mental and
emotional health Of the child. For in
no wise should it be allowed to form
any inordinate desire for theatergoing
any more than It should be allowed to
read too much romance.
However, at 10 years of age, | believe
| it wise to plan some systematic course
How much or how little the child shall
be permitted this form of enjoyment
will depend in every case more or less

DANGER IN HEAVY HATS

made for you are made with the mini

well to have hats differing in their
point of pressure on the head, SO that in
changing from one chapeau to another
the head may be rested in sections at
least. With SO many crinoline and
horsehair hats in the market and the
great vogue Of tulle, elaborate hats may
be had having very little weight. Tips
and quilts are much lighter in weight
than heavy flowers, and in getting the
latter, other things being equal, the

SECRET OF AMERICAN BEAUTY.

The tall, 1.-the young of America, with their bold,
intelligent faces, and the tall and graceful young
pretty and clever, have impressed foreigners
profoundly 1t remained for distinguished foreigner,
Dr. Emil Reich the Hungarian philosopher to tell the
world the secret Of American beauty.
DR.. Reich, in conversation with American
in New York. said
''The beauty of nations differs very much. The
Latins are less beautiful than the AngloSaxons. The
angularity of the North German woman is notorious.
Money-bags married money-bags and the result is
people of severely plain aspect.
p ''The Americans are a beautiful race. The Amer

loves him. The American is nsulted if any mention
of dowry is made in his wedding arrangements. Hence
the American people have become exceedingly beau
tiful.
Glove is at the bottom Of it all - DR.. Reich ended.
Glove marriages alone produce beautiful, healthy
children. America is the country where love
rages prevail. Hence the American is the world $
most beautiful race.'

QUEEREsT LIBEL LAW.

world. He who is sued for libel there must not
only prove that the accusations he published
true but also that to publish them for the public
benefit. Elsewhere the truth Of the accusation alone
needs to be proved -"."- ~.L. E.-f's.
An Australian sheepraiser explained this queer
libel law at wool sale.
"Australia practically colonized by conviets, -

tralias leading families the richest, the most infuen

yet these excellent people were in the past at the

by printing their ancestry, by showing that Sir John
Smiths great-grandfather had been sent out for rob-

aunt while employed servant girl, had tried to
poison her masters son, with whom she in love.
cit is undenably true that the best Australians

COMIC OPERA SONGS.

AA ARCHING, marching, there's sure to be march;
lN A glittering chorus paradng before us, with
twinkling feet that arch.
There's the nautical song of the ocean blue, and the
various winds that blow
It tells of poor Jacky who's fond of his baccy, and
winds up with Yeoheave-ho
Then the Love Song is tender strain addressed to
the stars above;
Whose Lydian Measures dilate on the pleasures Of
chronic, incurable love-
There's the Topical Song where again and again the
singer asserts with glee
Of the train that he misses the girl that he KISSES
''There's nothing in that for me-
Boom! Ia, ra, ra,-there' s the trumpet blare!
We're all of partial to melody martial and military
air.
There's the Drinking Song with its clnking cup and
it's rollicking frolicking boys
All merrily laughing and cheery quaffing in sort of
harmonious noise.
Then the Girl Song is tuneful lay and goes with a
swing and swirl,
1t may be Bedelia julia Celia but it, all about
just one girl.
The Motor Song is a general mix of Bubbles and
Goggles and Bluff,
It's made up of hootng choo-choong and footing, and
the singers go ''Puff! puff! -puff''
But the Coon Song
Is a song,
Saturday afternoon song;
When a little Pickaninny
"Way down in Ole Virgnny''
Is entreated to go to sleep.
Oh, the Coon Song
Is song,
Saturday afternoon song;
When Louisiana LOU y
And Susquehanna Sue
Are persuaded not to weep.
