heart of society And it is largely by reason of such
open doors and easy routes that the celebrity OF
literature, art, science or the stage has long since
become numerous in New York as the canned
peach.
But in smaller cities it is only when the travelling
actor lecturing author turns up with letter OF
introduction that local society enjoys brief open
season of this celebrity-catching sPOrt-a season
that is unlike that set apart for the hunting of
the Long Island deer, and fraught with almost as
much danger to its participants.

aroused by the degrading spectacle of talent i'm
paled hook and dangled before the noses of the
most brilliant women in society, that i must posi-
lively refuse to offer any advice as to the best
means of capturing the unfortunate artist who IS
to be used in this manner. But, once captured,
whether with net, harpoOn, or lassO, shall
hesitate offer suggestions the proper serving
of the celebrity than the late Henry Bergh would

fashionable New York hostess; for in the great
social market place in which she trades everything
has its precise value and she knows what to do with
her celebrity just as she knows what to do with the
caviar that gives zeSt to her dinner what do with
her too denOnstrative adnirer and what to do with
her ashes and garbage.
But to the hostess in the smaller towns where the
celebrity is only an occasional rare bird, / would
say: Serve him up at a Sunday y-night dinner fol-
lowed by tree-fOr-all reception and either invite
everyone on your list or seek your ultimate reward
by limiting your invitations to the hadOzen social
leaders of the town. Either will render YOU
unpopular, even though it may advance YOU few
steps in your social progress. Be careful above all
things, not to consult the feelings of the celebrity
whom YOU have on your hook to ask him whom
he would care to meet 1t is better not to per-
init him to know your intentions for fear he should
wriggle off and escape.

PITY THE RICH.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has had much
experience with millions. Few men in
this country have had such close and
intimate association with great wealth
as he and few can speak with such au-
thority as he upon the possession OF
great riches.
And Mr.. Carnegie indicates that it is
a delusion and snare, lessons human
happiness and drives the laugh from
the lips,
He expsessed these sentiments in a
letter which he wrote about verses by a
budding Florida poet and in which he
said:
HE cannot know, however, as |
know, how trifiing are the advantages
of wealth, because he has to imagine
one side, while | have lived both and
have learned that:
"Ifhapriness has not it's seat and GEN.
ter in the breast,
We may be wise and rich and great,
but never can be blessed. -
Beyond competence Tor old age,
and that need not be great and may be
very small, wealth lessons rather than
increases human happiness. Million
aires who laugh are rare. This is just
as it should be "
Yet there is not a man in business
to-day struggling to accumulate money
but what thinks the bigger the pile OF
wealth, the happier he will be. No
greater mistake. The bigger the pile
the more anxiety and trouble it Will
bring.

MANUAL LABUR.

We are always in these days en-
deavoring to separate intellect
and manual labor; we want one
man to be always thinking and
another to be always working, and
we call one a gentleman and the
other an operative; whereas, the
workman ought often to be think
ing, and the thinker often to be
working, and both should be
gentlemen In the best sense. AS it
is, we make both ungentle, the
one envying, the other despising
his brother; and the mass of So
ciety is made up OF morbid think
ers and miserable workers-John
Ruskin.

Did You ever see a lot of men
who had it iii for a business and
didn't know why? Ever hear the
gang curse and berate a home man
who had made a success of what
he undertook, while they have
been chewing and splitting and
lushlng at the same old job they
monkeyed with fifteen years ago?
Ever see a man who gloried in
another's successes, and take a
stranger by the hand and say, II
am glad to see you succeed?" Ever
see any of these things? Of course
you have. You see them every day.
Then there are dozens of reptilianF
who will greet you with a smile
and stab you in the back because
you attend to your business and
succeed, whether they can do as
we'll or not. There are plenty of

SO filled with envy and jelousy

THE TOWN OF NOMOOD.

My friend, have you heard of the
town of Nogood, on the banks of River
Slow, where the ometimeorother
scents the air, and the soft goeasy
grows? 1t lies in valley of Whats-the
use, in providence of Letter-slide; the
tired feeling is native there; it's the
home of reckless I-dont-ca where
the Give-it-ups abide. The town is as
old as the human race, and it grows
with the height of years ii is wrapped
in the fog of Idler's dreams; its streets
are paved with discarded schemes and
sprinkled with useless tears.
