Zangwills Knowledge Of the Famous
Trials of History.

zangwill's knowledge Of the Famous
Trials of History.
AS IN indication Of the quality of
Zangwill's mental processes may re-
late an incident that occurred while
we were producing "The Children of
the Ghetto" Mr.. Zangwill was seated
in my Office. and we were going over
some of the details Of the play. It was
the day that Labori, intimately con-
nected with the Dreyfus case in Paris,
was assassinated. Knowing that Fang
will had intimate knowledge Of the
case, a New York newspaper sent
representative up to see him. The re-
porter entered and after conveying the
news said:
'Mr. Zangwill, we want from you a
history of oil the famous trials you can
call to mind for our paper"
"Indeed?" said Mr.. Zangwill. Il
think can prepare that for you. Come
to see me in three or four days, and I
will have it ready"
1--WE want it now" objected the
newspaper man. 1--WE want to print it
in our paper tomorrow morning."
"But you surely don't expect me to
quote you dates and facts out Of my
mind on the spur of the moment, do
you?" asked Mr.. Zangwill in astonish-
ment. "Such thing is out Of reason"
"I'm sorry. but it's the only way we
can make use of It," replied the news
paper man firmly. Mr.. Zangwill thought
a moment aud then asked If he could
have my stemographer for short time.
He was called in. and Zangwill die

To Cure a Bad Habit,

A way to cure bad habit is thus
explained by the Rev. Samuel McComb
in the New York World: If you have
habit YOU wish to get rid of put your
mind upon 1t after going to bed. Re-
solve to discard that habit at the mo.
ment you are lapsing from semicon-
seriousness into complete unconscious
ness. Repeat the operation several
nights. several weeks IL necessary, and
cure will follow, provided that the day
after the first night the experiment is
started you obey the impulse that will
come on you to avoid the accustomed
habit

BORROWING THE CANADIAN
WAY
From the Tonopah Sun.

From the TonOpah Sun.
Calling ample police protection or
troops where trouble is feared is not
the American way Of doing. 1t is the
Canadian way. In the new parts of
Canada the mounted police is omni-
present. At times where there is spe-
cial danger the field force is called out
as well The conception of the duty
of the government there is that of
preventing trouble. To wait until it
has occurred and then march in and
stand. guard is looked upon as quite
as criminal as the commission Of the
acts of violence. Seldom does it hap
pen that trouble is not scented before
it occurs, and Canada simply takes
time by the forelock.
1t is an unheard-of innovation for
this government to march troops into
a belligerent territory before lives are
lost, as Roosevelt has done. The
Goldfield action gives the people a
chance to ascertain from experience
whether the Canadian way or the
American way suits them the better.
Roosevelt present move is the Cana.
dian way.
If the saving of lives is the wish of
all it is possible that they may con-
clude that the Canadian way is the
better.
