WHERE IDEALS QUICKLY DIE.

Commercial Atmosphere of New York
City Acts as Cramp ON Genius.
What ability or skill the great man
Of the provinces brought with him to
the metropolis may be only the foun.
dation for real work. There will sure.
ly be extensive revising of ideals and
methods. A story Is told of a poet who
arrived In town with complete epic
This found no acceptance, SO after
cursing the stupidity of the public and
the publishers he took to writing Sun
day stuff" Soon the matter-of-fact at
titude of the workers around him. with
the practical view of the market he
acquired, led him to doubt the literary
value Of the work he had done In the
sentimental atmosphere of his native
place.
Presently a commission to write a
column of humor week came to him
and he cut his epic In short lengths.
tackled a squib on each fragment and
eventually succeeded in printing it all
as numor at price many times larger
than the historic one brought by "Par-
adlse Lost"
Another newcomer brought unsal-
able plays and high notions of the aus
terity Of the artistic vocation. Three
months after his arrival he was de-
lighted to get commission to write
the handbook which utilitarian pub
Usher proposed to sell to visitors seek
ing the metropolis. This commission
brought not only fair payment for
the manuscript on delivery but lnvolv-
ed vital secondary consideration. The
title Of the work was Where to Eat
in New York." and Its preparation
made 1t necessary for the author to
dine each evening for month in a
different cafe at the proprietor's ex-
pense. Atlantic.

MARK TwA1N's "1Ns1DE PRICE

How the Poor bookseller Felt Over
s'Discounts."
| Mark Twain some time ago told this
story at dinner given tc Tax Commits
sioner Charles Putzel at the Freund
schaft Society Clubhouse In New York
81 saw Mr.. Putzel twenty-five years
ago In Putnam's book store. went In
there and asked for George H. Putnam
and handed In my card. A young man
took it In, but came back and said that
Mr.. Putnam was busy and could not
see me. l had merely gone there on
social call and started to leave. As
was going out my eye was attracted
to a big, fat, interesting-looking book.
It was entitled The Invasion of En-
gland In the Fourteenth Century by the
Friars.' I asked the price of It.
"'Four dollars was the answer
"'What discount do you allow pub
l!shers?'
Forty per cent off,
"'Well,' said, 4 am publisher
"He put down the figures 40 per
cent on the card.
~ said: What discount do you al
low authorsT
"He said: Forty per cent
"'Well,' l said. I am the author.
You can put that down. What discount
do you allow the clergyY
"He said, 90 per cent
"'Well,' said, I am on the road
So I took 20 per cent for that
"He put down the figures and never
smiled once. Here was working off
all these scintillating brilliancies on
him, and not even spark of recog-
milton. l was almost in despair. I
thought would try him once more, so
| said:
"'You know I am also a member Of
the Human Race, Would you allow
me 10 per cent off for that?
HE set that down-never smiled
so l said:
"'There is my card with my address
on 1t. have no money with me- Send
the bill to my home at Hartford.
II picked up the book and was going
away when he said: Wait minute; !;
there is 40 cents coming to you.'"-

A HELP TO OTHERS.

"That was a beautiful thought the
minister gave us about being on the
lookout for little unobtrusive ways we
can help others, wasn't it?" said Miss
| Spears, fervently, to Mrs. Valley, as
the two women walked slowly home
from church together.
"Um-m, yes, it's beautiful thought"
said Mrs. VALLEY, in a guarded man
ner, "but the last time parson preached
that sermon-'twas five years ago, just
before you came here-lt made con-
siderable trouble In my family.
"Yes," continued Mrs. VALLEY, with
an unseeing gaze on the changing fol-
iage of the village trees, "Hiram saw
a letter directed to his Aunt Letitia
lying on the sitting room table, and he
thought he wouldn't wait for me to
ask him to post 1t, same as / always
had to do two or three times before
he remembered.
THAT sermon was right fresh In his
mind, and he picked up that letter,
sealed 1t, stamped it and posted 1t,
all without saying word to me till
next day. Then he spoke of 1t real
modest and yet pleased with himself.
"I'm going to try to live up nearer
to that sermon than I've been doing,
Mandy he said to me, and maka
things easier for you; lift some O. the
little burdens O. life off'n your shoul-
ders.
"'Well, Hiram l said, as soon as I
could speak without taking his head
right off, for you know I'm high-tem-
pered, excepting for what grace I've
got, I know you meant well-but that
wasn't a letter to your Aunt Letltla
you've sent off.
"That envelope had her old address
on-of course you didn't notice that.
She'll get 1t, but it'll make her mad
as a hornet when she sees 1t and thinks
I've been careless and forgotten the
new place; and inside were three ele-
CANT crochet patterns l was calculat-
ing to take over to the minister's wife
tomorrow. l put em in that old en-
velope for safe-keeplng they've been
there more'n six months l was in
tending to let the minister's wife copy
them. laid the envelope out soon as
we got back from meeting, SO I'd re
member.
Your Aunt Letitla despises fancy
work, so she'll throw them In the fire
and then sit down and write me-
so she did," added Mrs. VALLEY,
grimly, "and it took good deal of
work to get her Strengthened out.
"On the whole, there wasn't any
lasting harm done, but l was only
thinking as l sat there this morning,
l was sort Of relieved to think Hiram's
cold KEEP him home from church to-
day, all things considered"

There Is homing instinct amons
men as there is among birds. 1t II
pretty fact in what may be termed
innate psychology that men as they
grow old and see the end approaching
have a disposition to return to the
places where they were born to await
the summons They do not always
obey this prompting; indeed, 1t is dis
regarded in more cases than it is heed
ed. But the instinct is there 1t is
declared by students of biology that
the love of ones birthplace is congeni-
tai and that man who was born near
the sea, for instance, will always have
yearning to return to the ocean, even
though he dwells far inland from In
fancy to old age. Another phase of
this homing instinct is the desire that
men experience to be buried among
their kindred. 1t Is this instinct which
accounts for the transportation of dead
bodies over thousands of miles of land
and sea that they may lie In some coul-
try graveyard, perhaps, within sight of
a farmhouse deserted half century
ago. The author Of "Waverly" COM
pared the course Of man through the
world to that Of hare, which is start
ed from her form and after a long
chase and making large circle ends
by returning to the nest from which
she started. Like the wounded deer,
man yearns to reach home to die
Any eastbound overland train contains
evidence Of it in the poor consumptive
who, having vainly sought the climate
of Arizona or California In the hope
of prolonging life, turns his face home
ward when all hope Is at an end. go
ing home to die is enc of the saddest
sights In life Collateral to this In
stinct and akin to 1t in origin is the
desire which city men of country birth
experience for rural life as they grow
older. This yearnlng for the country
Is, indeed, not confined to the country
bred. Nearly all men experience it
and this Is the result Of atavism-in-
herlted love for the soil persisting
through many generations Of city dwell
lers. As man grows old he desires to
get back to nature. So that in these
things, as in many others, we are really
not free agents, but the creatures of
heredity, governed literally by the in
stincts and tendencies Of ancestors
dead for centuries. Our forefathers
live in us and 1t is a picturesque
thought. 1t promises an immortality
that we can all understand and ap-
preclate.

Hard on a Drowninr Mar,

Vieuxtemps, the famous violinlst
used to tell the following story: Wher
crossing London bridge one day he was
suddenly brushed aside by a wretched
tatterdemalion, who climbed the par
apet and plunged out into the river. TIE
foot passengers crowded around i'm
medlately to watch the unfortunate
man as he rose to the surface. and In
a trice some one shouted, "Tll bet be
browns 20
1.-TWO TO one he'll swim ashore" was
the answer. The rest of the pedes.
trians Joined in the betting.
Meantime Vieuxtemps rushed down
to the river bank, secured waterman
and rowed out to the rescue. Just as
the boatman was about to reach forth
to grasp the poor fellow, who by this
time was tloundering about In the wa,
ter, having lost his desire for death
the spectators above cried out; Leave
him alone! There's bet on it!"
The oarsman drew back into the
boat, and the unfortunate wretch sank
before their eyes.
