which ought to interest every one who
has any dealing with boys, Is simple.
When a new boy goes TO his office be
takes him to his private room and has
a confidential talk with him. He treat
the boy with respect, tells him about
the business, and explains what are
sometimes called Office secrets to him,
with the remark that they are "ofice
secrets" and must not be talked Of out
side. In short, he makes an appeal to
the boys honor and self-respect. The
boy responds, and in time the employer
interests himself In the reading and
outside amusements Of the lad till he
has him transformed. One boy, who
had served in a reformatory before he
entered the mans service, is now a sue
cessful lawyer, with an Office in the
same building with his old employer.
This employer applies the rule with
which every one Is familiar, although
many forget 1t, that 1t is much easier
to lead men than to drive them. The
average boy Of whatever number Of
years resembles the average pig, In that
when you try to drive him he will use
all his energy in trying to go the other
way.

Anyone who has lived on a farm
does not need TO be told the reason why
farmers grow old early, for he knows
of the strain under which the American
farmer lives during the five months of
spring and summer. His workday IS
from 4 or 8 in the morning until or 9
at night, including chores-ffteen to
seventeen hours of the hardest kind of
physical labor and every minute of It
at high tension, especially during har-
vest. Then comes 4 period Of relaxa-
ton IN the fall, the one time in the
year when he has just enough muscu-
lar exercise to keep him in health. La
ter, the winter season, approaching
stagnatl0n, IN which he takes on flesh,
gets "Iogy," and then a furious de-
bauch of hard labor through the spring
and summer again. No wonder that by

Vegetarianism received a new appli-
cation at the female suffragists' con-
vention. A vegetarian member an
nounced that she trimmed her hats only
with vegetables and that the birds
feathers IN the hats around her made
her tremble with indignation. The con-
troversy created quite a scene in the
convention until it was closed under
the gaYeI, but the question in the pub
lie mind is not whether vegetables or
animal ornaments are the best but
whether the size of the hats and the
length of the aigrettes should not be
sufficiently reduced to enable a man to
see the preacher and hear the sermon
at church.

Marie Corelli has never had a line
rejected. Her first book, "a Romance
Of Two Worlds" was q great success,
and all her other books have been great
successes.
H. G. Wells is a stranger to the re-
lection slip. He began by writing Poe
like tales that found a ready sale
among the magazines, and his first nov
ell, 1.-THE Time Machine" gave him in
slant repute.
Among the letters in Maitland's
"Life of Sir Leslie Stephen is an epis-
tie to Stephens friend, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, Jr., in which there are some
notable comments upon Tennyson. The
last remarkable person with whom l
made an acquaintance was the queer
old poet Tennyson. We spent a month
at Freshwater and saw d Ceal Of him
and his pleasant wife and children. He
is the queerest old bloke, to speak IL
reverently, that l ever saw"
Marion Crawfords new serial, Are
thusa," depicts the life of certain TIA
lians and other people in the four
teenth century in the city Of Constan-
tinOple. The heroine, Arethusa, sells
herself into bondage to rescue the wife
of her adopted father and her chill
dren, who are on the verge of starva-
ton in the beggar quarter of CONSTANT
nople Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Cir
casSians, as we'll as Italians, enter into
the story, which has an exciting plot
and a tender love story entwined with
political intrigueS.
1t is not generally known that Miss
Lena Ashwell, the English emotional
actress who has been appearing on the
American stage this season i'll The
Shulamite," is a sister of Roger Pococll,
the well-knOwn writer, whose book,
Following the Frontier" was publish
ed two years ago by Mcclure, Phillips
& Co. Though this is Miss Ashwell's
first visit to this country, Mr.. PocOcll
is thoroughly at home here, especially
In the Western States, where he had
many of his most thrilling adventures.
He has also served in the Canadian
mounted police, and was one of the first
men to head a large party into the
Klondike when that region was opened
to the gold hunters.
Is it wise to reply to ones critics?
Ibsen in his letters tells Brandes never
to make answer, but maintain silence
and dignity together. DR.. Emil Reich,
a lesser light, declares, on the other
hand, in his Success in Llfe,' that
Froude made the mistake of his career
in submitting to this policy Of contro-
versial nOnresistance. "Froude wrote
on Elizabeth, says DR.. Reich, land
took most Of his new information from
the Spanish archives. Freeman was,
by his own confession, no expert what
ever on the reign of Elizabeth, and
Spanish he did not know at all. Yet
with the revolving arrogance of the
man in Office he assailed Froude in the
rudest manner, and-was long believed
by the public. To the present day
Froude passes for incorrect He is
very much less Incorrect than either
Freeman himself or other historians"
Now 1t remains for some even more re-
mote critic to criticise DR.. Reich.

The threat Of certain Cuban patriots
to wage war against the United States
Is not a mere joke, because it signifies
the temper of a considerable element in
the Cuban population. These persons
hate the United States as badly as
they hated Spain and they hate any
Cuban government as badly as they
hate the United States. The anti
American movement is a phase of
sentiment which is against all govern
ment. This sentiment will have to be
dealt with some day.

An Anecdote of Shelley.

The poet Shelley tells an amusing
story of the influence that language
hard to be understood" exercises on
the vulgar mind. Walking near Covent
Garden, London, he accidentally JOS
tied against an Irish navy, who, being
In a Quarrelsome mood, seemed inclin-
ed to attack the poet. A crowd Of
ragged sympathizers began to gather,
when Shelley, calmly facing them. de-
iberately pronounced:
ST have put my hand into the ham,
ner. have looked on the sacred bar
lev. 1 have eaten out Of the drum. 1
have drunk and am well pleased. l
have said Knox Ompax,' and it is fin
ished."
The effect was magical. The aston
ished Irishman fell back. His friends
began to question him. What bar
lew" where's the hamperY' What
have you been drinking?" and Shelley
walked away unmolested.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills have been

Mr.. Robert Odbert, a macllinist, liv-

years. He makes the following state
ment: about the year 1887 felt the
effects of rheumatism which gradually
grew worse until 1 was compelled to
give up work for time The years
of '97 and '98 l was confined to my bed
most of the time. l was under doctors
treatment but found no relief My
legs were swollen from the hips down

over them. Frequently they panied
me so that l had to bind them tightly
with strips of linen. This sometimes
relieved the pain but at other times
failed to do so. At times | had to
crawl to my work, using two clutches.
During these spells I suffered greatly
from pain around my heart which at
tributed to the rheumatism.

asked me to try DR.. Williams Pink

found myself getting better and have
had no trouble since. 1 may here add
that 1 consider myself perfectly cured.

shalxspeare's Churchgoing.

Probably Shakespeare did his own
thinking on questions Of religion, said
little, and conformed strictly to the ex-
listing order. Still we question If he
was a good church-goer, says a writer
in the Atlantic. The town and church
of Stratford had a decided bent toward
Presbyterianism and there is reason to
think that he did not get on we'll with
it in this respect. Himself the wisest
of preachers, he does not seem to have
been fond Of preaching. That which
sounds most like it-and very wise it
is-comes from Polonius, whom he calls
"a prating old fool"
We fear that when he walked to
church with his wife he went no far
Their than the porch, but strolled along
the Avon, where he was found by SUI
sauna and Judith on ga grassy bank"
in close converse with daisies pied
and violets blue" and "herb-o' grace"
as became Sunday. And in winter he
was not sorry when coughing drowned
the parsons saw" The preacher and
the poet have never got on we'll to-
gether, and will not until they learn
that they are identically the same per-
son, as Cardinal Newman says; and
they must not divide and antagonize
what God hath Joined together.
