Its prizes "There are some things" he pro-
ceeded to explain, "the acquisition of which is
incompatible with that of others, and the sooner
that truth is acted upon the better.
ITO strive for high professional position, and
yet expect to enjoy all the delights of social in
tercourse of leisure; to toll after great riches,
and yet to ask for freedom from anxiety and
care; to live luxuriously, and yet to demand
health and strength; to live for self exclusively
and yet to expect the love and esteem of ones
fellow beings, is to seek for contradictory and
mutually destructive advantages; in short, for
impossbties.
"The world is a market, where everything is
marked at invariable price. Choose what
ever good you deem most desirable; but having
made choice, stand by it, and make the most
of it-extractng all the satisfaction you can.
"Guard, therefore, young man, against cult
waiting too many talents; only one can you hope
to bring TO perfection. Be a whole man" at
one thing, and not split into two or three mid
ding ones. Thus, and thus only, may you hope
to succeed in an age of merciless competition,
when success taxes all ones powers"

R.7,<SAJ Ihere was the Cilr, her Mother, a
G1s2szy plain little visiting cousin from the
country, and couple of other men.
The dinner was good one the table
furnishings unique.
Everything has a story connected with it,
the host said proudly. 'This teaspoon is from
Del Monte and its tropic gardens. That three
piece tea set was a bulky thing to carry away.
but L managed it under the very eyes of the
Palmer House waiter. just look at this saltcellar
from Touraine, if you please. Observe that no
two of the napkins are alike. They hail all the
way from Palm Beach to the Yellowstone"
All the guests but the country cousin admired
his collection. Amused by her shyness, the host
turned to her jocularly:
What do you think of it all?"
II would rather not say" she answered quietly.
ooh, but / insist"
The country cousins color rose, but her voice
was steady she said:
81 feel as If this was a shop for the receiving
Of stolen goods"
The rest of the company laughed at her as be-
ing an old-fashiened prude. Unfortunately, many
Americans would have joined in their derision, for
the souvenir habit has become terrible national
disease, distorting the moral sense until the
Eighth Commandment becomes dead letter.
Indeed the word souvenir has gained the meaning
of something puroined or carried away unlaw-
fully. When girl who has penchant for souv-
enir coffee spoons asked old uncle to bring
her some from his European trip, he shook his
head emphatically. II suppose I am old-fashion-
ed, but l would feel like thief if l tried to
smuggle as much toothpick out of hotel"
He was relieved when he niece explained that
she meant him to buy them, in most legitimate
fashion.
BIG LOSS TO HOTELS.
Dining cars and even sleeping cars have to pay
toll to the travelling public who are cursed
by the souvenir habit, but it is, of course upon
the hotels and restaurants that the loss falls the
heaviest. Young women who would draw back
in horror from the polluting touch of a common
shop-lifter do not hesitate to conceal a particu-
larly fetching bread and butter plate, adorned
with the hotel crest, in the front of their blouses
and they do it with defines that shows that
they have had plenty of practice. Fagin would
have welcomed them as pupils who needed little
further training
Our heaviest loss is in our ladies' care" said
the proprietor of one of the most fashionable
New York restaurants. 1t is surprising what
our patrons will manage to take away upper
eeived Their value ran up into the thousands
last season, and every year it is worse"
At a recently opened Eastern hotel the losses
in pilfered table ware were SO great that the
management finally decided to make each waiter
responsible for his own table, charging him at
the end Of the day with all articles missing. The
walters became CORRESPONDENCE watchful. but
souvenir hunting was only checked, not eliminated
Finally one waiter whose salary had been repeated
ly diminished in this fashion became desperate
When one day he saw fashionaby dressed girl
thrust a silver butter-dish into the top Of her
opera bag he managed TO restrain himself with
difficulty. But when the time came to order the

The girl ordered the souvenir dessert, and when
he rose from the table she left the butter plate
behind her.
But the college boys are as bad as the women, I"
another hotel keeper declared. Gust cater for
one of their banquets, and you will have lesson

dessert, he leaned over her and said confidently:
beg pardon, but there is souvenir dessert
to-day. If you order that am sure you will
like it, and will find that its box will make
prettier keepsake than the butterplate you now
have in your bag"

We so often hear the question discussed at the
clubs, were the strong American players of the
Morphy period, fifty years ago, equal to those OF
the present day, that we now print for COM
parison game played in Philadelphia in 1860 be-
tween Hardman Philips Montgomery, who was
then in his prime and champion of Philadelphia,
against Gustavus G. Reichhelm and Jacob Elson
in consultation. AS to the merits of the question
of comparison above raised, we are Of the opin-
ion that the openings are far better understood
now than fifty years ago, our players are better
booked and the number Of strong players of the
present day far exceed those of half century
ago, but we seriously doubt if any American
ever surpassed H. p Montgomery when at his
best, in playing strength, brilliancy in general
ability for the game. There are few of Mont
gomery's games extant, five are published in
"Chess in Philadelphia" but the one now given
does not appear there:

TROUBLE FOR HUCKsTERs.
Police Enforcing Regulations Rela-
tive to Badges.


Police are enforcing the regulations
which require hucksters and their assist
ants to wear badges. Under the provi-
sions of the license law only the huckster
is required to wear a badge. no mention be-
ing made of his assistant. There is a po
lice regulation bearing upon the subject of
the assistants however. and they are re-
qulred to wear badges similar to those worn
by their employers. Both regulations have
long been upon the statute books, but 1t
was not until recently that the police were
directed to enforce the same. Several ar
rests have been made, and some of the de-
PENDANTS forfeited collateral in the Police
Court.
Complaint is now being made by the
hucksters that they are unable to comply
with the provisions of the law. Their COM
plants were stated to the police and license
officer and it Is thought something def
mite will be determined by the license off,
Ger which will make it possible for the
conduct of business without violating the
law. When a huckster obtains license
he is furnished a metal badge bearing the
number corresponding to the license num-
Der which is attached to his vehicle. and
while the law specifies that his assistants
shall have similar badges the license clerk.
it Is said. will not furnish the badges for
the assistants.
And" one of the hucksters remarked,
when we want to have them made by
manufacturers we are promptly told that
the manufacturers have no authority to
make such badges; and SO what are we to
do?"
The aggrieved party explained that while
the law gives him the right to have assist
ants he Is deprived from exercising that
right because the District authorities will
not furnish the barges that are required
Until something Is done to remedy the
difficulty. ne said. the only way he can
keep out Of trouble is to discharge hts
assistants and work alone
