Was it Worth While.

Russell Sage is dead.
Query: Was his life worth while?
He died rich in money, immense
ly so. But how about the things
friendship. charity, kindness, help
fuiness, service-which really bring
happiness? Did it pay Russell
Sage to worship the money-god as
he did?
He lived, ninety years, long life.
What did he win in his long life S
struggle? Millions and millions of
money, of course, but what else?
Few friends, many enemies. Sneers
and derision from some, smiles
from many because Of his stingi-
ness No love- no affection from
his fellow men.
His was a barren life. Just
money and the love of money. Did
it pay?

it. The fire department was on
hand within five minutes from the
time the blaze was discovered, and
had there been good water pres

Not Bound by an Oath.

Some years ago, when Attorney Gen
era1 Moody was district attorney in
Essex county, an arson case was tried,
in which the late Hon. H. w. Moulton
was one OF the counsel for the defense.
Among the witnesses for the prose-
cution was boy, who testified that a
little after nine o'clock, short time
previous to the discovery of the fire,
he saw the defendant not far from the
building in which it started. Being
asked, on cross-examination, how he
was SO sure of the time, he replied
that he looked at a clock as he came
out of a store and saw that it was nine
o'clock.
Then he was asked If it was Gus
tomary for boys of his age to look at
clocks to see at what time they lief.
any store they happened to visit
He answered.: my father told me
to be home before nine o'clock, and
thought would see how late it was.
Then" said Mr. Moulton, eve are
to believe that you are no nearer tell
ing the truth now than you were then
to minding your father?"
II am under oath to tell the truth"
the boy replied, land 1 am telling it.
l wasn't under oath to mind my ia.

Really, Harry, on second thought,
believe that you had better write
this act. You have such vivid i'm
agination, you know"
do you think so?" I ask. well.
then, how's this? AS the machine is
hopelessly out of order, to avoid
scandal he suggests that they hunt up
a minister and get married."
Which suggestion she emphatieally
declines to agree to- Betty breaks in.
"Why?" 1 query with assumed inno-
cence.
The reason is made known in tbs
last act" she replies with irritating
evasiyeness.. 'but to continue. While
they are plunged in despair a Hfe-say-
ing countryman, seated in rickety
farm wagon makes his appearance
and takes them in tow In this man
ner they reach the city and the act
closes"
Rather weak, don't you think?" I
ask in disappointment.
"Oh, l don't know. The last act is
the strong one.
THE action takes place in the
heroine's home and the setting is iden-
teal with these rooms. The hero
after a months absence has called
on her for the first time He is very
moody and as the conversation is far
from animated. suggests that they
write a play"
At this moment the doorben rings
and the maid enters. She announces:
Mr.. and Mrs. fhilip Armstrong
At this announcement, start in sur
prise, then angrily cry:
What, that chap calling on you?
And he married, too. The nerve of
him.
Why, yes, he was even married
when we took our automobile ride to-
gether,' Betty laughs; that was one
reason that we couldn't marry after
the accident"
"One reason? Then, what, pray,
was the other?''
HE was already my brother-in-
law"
Gee Whit what a chump 1 am"
humbly acknowledge
Il think SO, too," the unfeeling girl
like me~
IF you coax hard enough, maybe"
Betty relents
Then suppose you let me into this
family affair."" I suggest.
What do you mean?"
Suppose you give me the right to
call him brother-in-law as we'll as
yourself
DO you think that you deserve it?"
she asks.
We'll, that's the way all good plays
should end" / explain.
Then for the sake of our play,
consent" and Mr.. and Mrs. Armstrong
entering at this moment surprise two
very red-faced youngsters fondly en-
bracing.

Dimensions of Johns Love.

John M. was one of the pupils in a
small country school down in Maine.
He was an excellent mathematician.
and vanquished many difficult prob.
lens in arithmetic and geometry, but
for the English branches he had little
love.
The scholars in this school were
frequently required to commit to mem
DRY and recite certain passages of
poetry, and this custom, as may well
be imagined, was looked upon with I'M
mitigated contempt by the practical.
minded John.
On one occasion our friend had been
assigned the beautiful lines, beginning
as follows:
How do love thee? Let me count the
ways
love thee to the height and depth and
width
Ny soul can reach,'
When Johns turn came. he arose
and Intercepted doubtfully: How
do 1 love thee -stopped-hesitated
and finally blurted out:
How do love thee? love thee to
the length, breadth and thickness Of
my SOUL"
