Mark Twain, in one Of his books,
declares that he cannot enjoy THE
Vicar OF Wakefield" book that has
charmed several generations with. its
exquisite simplicity and humor. The
farmer takes great comfort out Of
this announcement on the part Of q
man who is not only our greatest
humorist. but our greatest writer OF
fiction He feels that II Mark Twain
can abominate one of the treasures OF
English literature, and roundly score
1t, there is no reason why the
farmer himself should not go to
bed with his thoughts when his com
pany begins to sound the praises OF
Don Quixote." The truth is that
both books are far above the reach Of
Individual opinion of any kind. They
may be praised, or they may be smart
ly criticised; it is all one. They have
passed over to the immortals, and
there they will remain. They have
become classics.--Joel Chandler Har

A TRUE LOVER.
lcopyrlght, lsOs, By Joseph B. BOwles,l

By GELETT BURGESS

A younger man would have called
Miss Allison effete. He might have
said that she was burned out" But
1t was evident from Conrad's manner
that he did not think 30, that he at
least had hopes of arousing her. He
still held her cold hand and pleaded
with her, lover amply qualified In
ardor and freshness.
She did not seek to restrain him
with any gesture Of protest--that was
not her way-she gazed at him stead
fastly, her hazel eyes suffused. Her
eyes showed too much wearness, al
most too much wisdom, for her age;
but neither quality detracted from the
compelling, romantic charm Of her
face; rather did 1t lend more piquant
contradiction to its soft contour.
Cant I wake you up?" he de-
manded. Cant l do something to
make you break through yourself? Do
have to set the house on fire before
you will show your soul at the win
dow? You're the kind of woman for
whom men do wild things"
She leaned slightly forward towards
him for an instant, and, in the height
Of his fervor, her hand returned his
pressure. For that instant he had
succeeded In shaking off her apathy.
You're a dear!" she exclaimed,
with her quick, sudden smile. you're
SO young and SO deliciously virile. You
know how fond / am of you, don't
you?"

She patted his hand gently. II sup

you showed such poor taste, that's all.
Please don't strike me, Conrad"
Don't joke about it," he said, sui

I meant"
Yes; / know what you meant. But
don't know what's the matter.

81 don't love you enough" he re-
peatcG. How could 1 possibly love

wearily, sinking back into the cush

took both her hands.

His Characterization seems reasonable.
When he was six years old he cut off
one of his toes with scythe. When
he was eight he shot off two joints of
one of his fingers. He ran away from
home when he was IA. and the frost
of winter night took off three more
toes and the tip of HIS nose. At 25 ne

A Fair "Force."

What will the patient, suffering hus-
bands and fathers say to the pending
scheme to make women actual police
men? The New York club which has
the matter in hand Is convinced that
the city of the future must have wom-
ans help to lead its future citizen
away from the door of the saloon and
induce him to fling away his half
smoked cigarette" The feminine po-
licemen are to exercise a general SUI
pervision over children in the streets
and to mingle with their games" 1t
remains to be seen, says Youths
Companion. what will be the effect ON
Miss Constable of "mingling" with
vigorous game of football in vacant
lot. The gentle art of handball might
be acquired by candidates for appoint
ment to the force" but what about
baseball? Could policewoman hope
to "mingle" successfully unless she
could manage a three-base hit and a
home run? 1t is no wonder that the
discussion of these perplexing ques-
tions was postponed by the club to a
later date-and then the meeting re-
solved itself into a committee of the
whole to discuss the dress suitable for
the new officials. When the hour for
adjournment came several vital mat
ters were still unsettled. For example
what is the proper angle at which the
helmet should be perched above the
pompadour, and whether a veil should
be adjusted over the aforesaid hel

Youno MEMS Chief Fault.

The fault with most young men 10
that they are indolent and inclined to
shirk their duty. The man who always
tries to get off as easy as possible, and
when working for others does as little
as possible for the wages that he re-
ceives, will never advance, and never
amount to anything in life. Every
young man should through all his busi-
ness career constantly keep in mind
the parable of the faithful servant and
the reward given to him: Because
thou hast been faithful in very little,
have thou authority over ten cities"
How many young men nowadays pay
any heed to this? asks the New York
Weekly. They all want to be great, TO
be successful, but they will not take
pains with little things and work their
way gradually to the top. They want
to jump to the top rung of the ladder
right away. They all desire to be-
come Vanderbilts or Rockefellers or
Morgans, but they throw away fool
fshly whatever money they earn be-
cause they hope some day to make 1t
in great quantities. A young man am
bilious to succeed in life should from
the very start make it clear for him.
self that he must work hard and plod
along, every day accomplishing the
duties belonging to that day, and If he
does this and leaves no duty undone,
he will be sure to find his reward,
first in clear conscience, and ult-
mately in success, but he must not ex-
pect success or wealth to drop down
into his lap without any effort on his
part.

a Dreamer.

Here lies a little boy who made believe:
Who found in sea and city. hill and
star,
What wise men said were not: who loved
to weave
Dream warp and woof more fair than
things that are.
He made believe that heavy toll and
stress
Were only play and sang the while he
wrought:
He made believe that wealth and fame
are less
Than faith and truth-that love cannot
be bought; q
That honor lives; that far beyond the
goal
That lures our eyes. to nobler ports we
steer;
That grief was meant to forge the living
soul,
And death itself is not for men to
fear.
At last he made believe his play was
played:
A kindly Hand the dorkening cur
tain drew. y
So well he made believe he nearly made
The world believe his make-believes
were true.
