however, there was very grave ques-
ton indeed. Those who had no desire
to defer to her dinners were very apt
to pronounce her pictures daubs, which
will explain why Dobson drew Rem
ington aside and reviewed the situa-
ton. Dobson was taking Donald Rem
ington, who had just returned from a
year in England, to enjoy one Of VIII
helmina's Sunday night dinners.
"You see, she hasn't had fair
chance yet, but she's awfully ambi-
tious, and we all have hopes"
Remington nodded Understandings.
He knew the type Of artist, though
the rosy colors in which Dobson had
painted the dinner prospective had
rather confused him.

all kinds of money, blooded stock and
all that--and they sent her to boarding

Jefferson Davis was a man of most

acy was about to be organized his sin.
gle ambition was the command Of the
Confederate army. This | had from
his own lips at his residence at Beau
voir, Miss, some fifteen years after
the war. He told me that when he
started for Montgomery, Ala, when
the movement began for the organi-
zation Of the Confederacy he hoped to
be called to the command Of the army
but before he reached Montgomery he
was advised of his election as pro-
visionary president When he reached
the new capital Of the Confederacy
he found it impossible to change condi

the presidency, and he entered upon
that duty as conscientiously as any
public man ever entered upon an Of

The Larynx.

The larynx has been compared to a
wind, reed and a stringed instru-
ment The comparison of it to violin
gave rise to the not very accurate
phrase vocal chords as the name Of
the two cushions which are its most
prominent features. But no string 50
short as those vocal chords could pro
duce a musical bass note. In fact, the
comparison of the Iarynx to any instru-
ment which produces only musical
tones Is inadequate to begin with
There is no instrument but the larynx
which produces both song and speech,
and as those comparisons view the
larynx merely as a producer of mu-
steal sounds we have no further con-
Germ with them at present. Besides,
the voice can be trained for speech,
elocution and oratory without knowl-
edge Of the physiology of the larynx.
We have the power Of adjusting the
larnyx, of varying the tension of Its
cords, cushions or ligaments, as they
have been variously called. We can
do these things without scientific tech
meal knowledge of how they are done,
without any knowledge at all Of vocal
physiology, and 1t is the work OF the
trainer of the voice to teach the pupils
how to do them.-Chambers Journal.

shipwreeI<s and Courts Martial
The custom Of holding courts martial
in the British navy after every case Of
shipwreck has a curious origin In
1741 the Wager, one Of Commodore
Anson's vessels, was wrecked of the
coast of Chile, most of the crew being
saved. The men and some Of the jun
Tor officers held that they were no
longer amenable to discipline because
their pay ceased with the wreck, but
the captain, whose name was Davy
Cheap, differed, treated them as mutt
neers and shot one of his midshipmen-
He was then deposed. and most Of the
crew made off in three Of the boats.
Later when it was proposed to proceed
against the so called mutineers the law
officers Of the crown decided that the
men had been correct In theins<s "
This discovery led to the framing OF
section 81 of the articles Of war, which
provides that In the case Of shipwreck,
destruction or capture by the enemy 6
ship is held to remain In commission
pending inquiry by court martial

The usual advice given to the wor-
rier is. Don't worry" This advice Is
foolish because impractical No one
can stop thinking one type OF thought
except by substituting for it another.
Besides, it is dangerous advice. for
even snpposing one could mechanical
ly put an end to a worrying state OF
mind, he would simply be like an en-
gineer who should plant himself on the
safety valve of his engine. The energy
expended In worry, turned inward on
itself. would tear the mental mechan-
ism to pieces. No! What the wor-
ried man or woman needs evidently
is to be taught how to find a health,
full outlet for his or her nervous power
thus going to waste. If we say Don't
worry," let us also be careful to add
But work." and let us also point out
what kind Of work should be under
taken and the spirit in which it ought
to be done. In other words, what the
worrier needs Is re-education.-Rev. B

Paulton'S
Prisoner.

Absurd as it may seem, Edith Nor
timer had run away from happiness.
Realizing that Guy Paulton was de-
termined to marry her, she had looked
into the commanding eyes and survey
ed the determined chin and had fed
in panic to the mountains after art
fully announcing that she was bound
for the shore.
This was not because she did not
want to marry Paulton. To the con-
trary, the prospect thrilled her with
tender delight, but what she did want
was another social season without ties
of any sort. She did not want to retire
to the ranks of engaged girls and wall
flowers after only one years triumph
as the belle Of the season.
Guy, on the contrary, seemed deter
mined to be married at once, and as a
last resort she had fed to escape his
proposal From babyhood Guy had had
masterful way, and Edith knew that
If she stopped to argue she was lost.
Her old chum, Belle Manton, who
was going to Beach Haven, forwarded
Edith's mail and otherwise helped to
maintain the polite but obvious fiction.
Loyalty she strove to protect her
friends secret, and, though Paulton al
ternately begged and threatened, he
could gain no hint Of Edith's where
abouts Edith smiled at the desperate
letters he wrote, but she carefully
saved them In her little rosewood trav-
cling desk, and could Paulton have
seen the tender light in her eyes as she
reread them In the quiet Of the sum-
mer nights he would have been con

could not see, and he was putting in
most uncomfortable summer.
