had guessed that it A1phonse he would perhaps
have enjoyed keeping him waiting awhile; but as he
did not know who it was he told the bakers wife
that she could do the waiting, and flew out OF the
door at once
He was not overjoyed when he saw that it was his
former rival; but when he learned his rivals errand
his good heart succumbed at last; for Alphonse
absolutely desired to sell him his old lady

for years and years and years.

with the top of Alphonses wheel, but he felt himself

that Gaspard took the agency for fesh-food and
sold dozens of boxes weekly. Finally A1phonse gave
up in despair and married the rich widow, who had
been rnadly jealous of his wax lady for months
That was a great day for Gaspard. He became
the only frisesv in the town, and the JOY, in his
heart was such that he asked Dinette to become
his wife Dinette took day to think it over, and
then she accepted. They were quietly married in
a chapel back of the altar; for she nearly ten
inches the taller and although grateful for being
saved from starvation still would naturally have
preferred to take a man of her size. Gaspard in
vented her bridal couture. He had dove made
of WIRE and he7 hair in and out of it SO sluuy
that have heard good authority that the first
nineteen hours of their welded life were spent in
endeavoring to get the dove out of her head again
1t was fortnight later that Gaspard reaped the
triumph of his life 1t came about in this way. One
lovely morning Dinette was giving final twist to
the ends of the first 1ieutenants mustache, while
three other men sat side by side on the hard sofas
and waited their turn. Gaspard himself was stand

front of the leading baker wife, woman who had
never had even SO much a shampoo before the

efforts toward one end only to see it everlastngly
deferred, came rushing upward in one geyser of
deadly hate The longing for revenge overcame him.
The barriers of resistance swept away by its
resistlessness. He paused drew one single long
deep breath, and then "Alphonsel" he Kissed,
snapped his fingers in the others face and turned
and entered the shop.
Alphonse became white; but was powerless to
defend himself against the accusation, so he drove
away.

(Oh, by the way, it is deadly insult to call any

cognomen in popular parlance for one who allows
his wife to support him This little explanation

to my tale)

Young men; it specializes at too early date Now,
it with intention of being ironical insidiously
Satirical that must blurt 1t out and forever,
that to overspecialize is simply to be inhuman.
Look where you may in nature outside man, look
into stones plants, animals, into water earth,
or air the terrestrial globe up the last star
in the last sphere of heaven you will invariably find
that everything in nature outside is excessively
specialized. Indeed, may say that nature is
immense syndicate of numberless specialists
a plant? There thew are doing and desiring nothing
but thing, single thing. Every animal is
specialist proper We must not believe that animals
do not speak because they have general ideas,
or because they have only special concrete notions.
This is only the formal or outward cause of their
want of speech The inner and the true is that
they are such excessive specialists that everything
that does strictly belong their speciality they
dislike violently does any specialist among
The pride of the specialist is not that of knowing
something, but that of not knowing most other
things. Even it is with animals. 1t is here not
intended to say that because animals assuredly are
nothing but specialists, one is forthwith entitled
to jump to the conclusion that the reverse of the
statement is equally true. 1t is only meant to in
dictate that overspecialzation is not the character
istic principal feature of man, but of animals
Choruses in Russia
TN preceding remarks the entire question of early
specialization is considered from the most elevated
standpoint. II now we look at it from the humble
level of practical usefulness, we shall find (what
by the way always fnd) that the truths descend
ing from the heights of thought readily embrace
wisdom struggling up from the plain of common
sense utility. Truth and wisdom both teach that
early specialization makes poor instruments for the
struggle for life Perhaps interesting experience
which any traveller in Russia and Hungary can
easily make, will by stroke put the whole matter
in the cearest possible light
In Russia, specialization among musicians has
been carried to such extreme that in a chorus
of thirty singers each singer sings more than
and the same note. Whenever his A or C, or
whatever his note may be, is to be sounded he
gives it out, in proper time, with proper force or
softness legato staccato. By long training each
member is perfectly adapted to the rest of the
chorus. that he fails to come in in time and

ing to take wider views viii seldom,
if ever, lead to success.
The average city clerk, after two three years
employment in office has not the faintest notion
of some of the details of his principals affairs
What is ten times worse, he does not want to have
it. Enter the Office, and ask him the most inno
cent question; the reply will be, I don't know.
1t really seems as if 2 do not know is, like the
"Ich dien" of the Prince of Wales, the family
motto of most city clerks. They are proud of It.
They think in uttering it hundred times a day,
to customers well as to their employers, they have
safeguarded themselves from error from being en-
trapped, from-Heaven alone knows from what.
In sticking exclusively to the narrow circle of his
special desk or department m refusing to take IN
than tiny issue of the business he is in,
he has indeed stuck to the point, but to the point
of needle that entering his very flesh ncapacitates
him from any easy and free movement He has be
point, insignificant, stodgy living
machine pointing commas and colons in letters;
a person used by his employers if he
blotter. Why has he not tried to learn as much
possible about every section and detail of the bust
ness? Truly city merchants traders, and business
men generally could not apply more efficient rule
than this, that any employee of theirs who is ever
overheard to say to a customer, " l don't know,
shall be dismissed instantaneously.
Hold Fast to the Line"
INSTEAD of Stick to the Point a better admoni-
ton would be, perhaps Hold Fast to the Line"
Line indeed, is the proper word There are no points;
there are lines to be stuck to; and lines consist of
many points Let the young man be educated

than one point. Let his mind be like search-hght

shifts from place another, lighting up all the
nght-covered places and giving fair view of all the
round the ship. Any clerk artisan ought to be
able to read faces if only in elementary manner
to remember features; to write any ordinary letter;
to know at least the elements of commercial geog-
raphy; to trust his memory for numerous details;
to understand commercial arithmetic; and, more
particularly not to say prominently, to be able to
thinl, of possible improvements in his business.
Far from repeating parrot fashion the eternal
stick to the point far from being afraid OF being
outsider let him remember that we owe the greatest
improvements and inventions of modern times to
the energy of who went out OF their speciality.

least performer destroy the harmony of whole
If his wanting the tones of the others
make no comprehensive harmony. Such chorus
can seldom be relied upon, and has lost many prize
at competitions for sheer inability of performing.
Now, let us compare this Russian chorus, based on
excessive specialization, with band of Gipsies in
Hungary. 1t is we'll known that the exquisite
national music of the Hungarians is, in Hungary,
exclusively played by Gipsies virtuosi, in whose
families music has been their bread well their
passion, ever since the tsigans (cgigdnyok, Hun
garians call them) entered Hungary early in the
fifteenth century They live, in smaller Hungarian
towns in suburbs of their own.

Contrast in Hungary

WHENEVER young men in Hungary need band
w for ball or picnic they repair to those suburbs
and to make bargain with the prDrdS, leader
of the band Frequently the leader tells them that
of his band of nine or ten men five are already
engaged by another party or, to musical terms,
the leader has longer orchestra of ten inStru
ments but only one of FIVE or four, quintet or
quartet. This quintet quartet may consist of
any five four-string reed or ha instruments,
any order whatever; for the party that had come
first to the leader may have insisted on the clarinet
fist, the player on the eztHbaLom dulciner,
a favorite. The leader is thus compelled to
tell his remaining to arrange all the pieces that
they are in the habit of playing full orchestra,
as quintet or quartet. This is as if would say
to British lecturer before he is beginning his lecture
in English, to give it in German in Italian:
The remaining FIVE or four Gypsy musicians at
once leave their houses arrive at the ball, and
without any further ado forthwith play their pieces
in harmonious quintet quartet, without music,
without any previous lessons, and with perfect
The ordinary musician is bewildered by being asked
to transpose given piece from the key in which
it is printed to key three notes higher. One may
imagine what anarchy would ensue if Western
musicians would suddenly be asked to play quintet
as a trio These Gypsy musicians then, are at
ready for any change or transformation, for any
arrangement, and for any piece Little wonder that
all over Europe they have at present established
superiority musicians at social gatherings which
no other band so much ventures to contest. Far
from being specialists, they each of them thor
ough universalists, if one may say They under
stand the whole of the piece feel it and render
it whole and thus, when the day of competition
comes, they occupy an impregnable position of all
round aptitude for any emergency.
No phrase can be heard more frequently in this
country than the grave retort Stick to the pointl
Nor are there many people who for moment doubt
the force and truth of that remark To stick to the
point seems sef-evident, logical that few, if
any will hesitate to say that follows chiefly
him who sticks to the point.
All that would be all right, if only one knew in
each what the point Is restricting oneself
to narrow speciality the real point? Is to shut
oneself off from all side-issues and collateral views
tantamount to sticking to the point? To this. our
experience and study of energetcs compels to give
decidedly negative answer. Sticking to the point

HE HAS NOT CHANGED.

William ]. Bryan, having had the
opportunity of reading American
newspapers. consented yesterday, in
London to discuss some of the ques-
tons which have been raised since he
has again become prominent as a
presidential possibility. He said in
part:
81 notice that l am described
by some as the conservative, and in
order that there may be no misun-
derstanding on that subject permit
me to say that in one sense / always
have been a conservative. The Dem
ocratic policies are conservative, in
that they embody old principles ap-
piled to new conditions. There was
nothing new in principle in either
of the platforms on which l stood. We
are accused of attacking property
when. in fact, the Democratic party
is the defender of property, because
1t endeavors to draw the line between
honest accumulation by honest meth
DDS, on the one side, and predatory
wealth on the other.
at Is to the interest of every hon
est man that dishonesty should be ex-
posed and punished, otherwise the
deserving are apt to suffer for the
undeserving. If, however, by the
word conservative they mean that
| have changed my position on any
public question of moderated my OPP
position to corporate ACKNOWLEDGMENT
they have a surprise waiting for
them.
81 am more radical than l was in
1896 having nothing to withdraw on
economical question which have been
under discussion.
1.-THE only question we discussed in
1896 upon which there has been any
apparent change is the silver ques-
tion and there has not yet been a
change in the advocates of bimetal-
ism, but in conditions. We contend
ed for more money and urged the free
coinage of silver as the only means
then in sight of securing it. The in
creased production of gold has
brought, in part, the benefit we ex-
pected to secure from the restoration
of silver, The per capita volume of
money in the United States is about
so per cent greater now than it was
in 1896 and the benefits by this in
crease have not only vindicated the
puantitive theiry of money but have
proved the benefits of the larger
amount of money. No advocate of
the gold standard can claim the tri-
umph of his logic.
/ believe in bimetalism and l be-
lieve that the restoration of silver
would bring still further prosperity.
besides restoring par in exchange be
tween gold and silver using countries
but l recognize as do all other bimet-
alists that the unprotected and un
precedented increase in gold produc-
tion has for the present removed the
silver question as an issue"
