MENTAL STENOGRAPHING
And Typewritlng Done In the Same Way bI
the Earnest Young Learner.

when first began" said q young woman
who is learning typewriting and stenog-
raphy, "a stenographer friend OF mine
told me that after q time I would find
myself taking stenographic notes In my
head, and this has already come quite
true. though find that / am nt-re likely
to take such talk down on o mental tvDe-
wfiter-I suppose because, az far as I've
got, am more advanced in typewriting
than am in stenography.
when you learn typewriting. you know.
they teach you on @ typewriter with the
keys all blanks: no letters on them. You
have hung up in front Of you card on
which are printed all the letters and signs
OF the keyboard, and you are expected
to learn the keys on the machine from the
card They do this 90 that you will learn
the keys by their positions and 80 be able
to play on the machine without looking
at Il.
when you have learned the position
OF all the keys In this manner they dictate
to you such simple words 10 CAT. cat. to
be written on the typewriter without look
ing at the card; and when you Apd your
self able to do this you think you have
come to be quite typewriter.

HARRONGE LEFT A FORTUNE.
PrOfits OF q Successful German Playwright
American Adaptations.

The fact that Adolf L'Arronge left an
estate of more than a million and half
marks or about 100000. shows that the
reward of the successful dramatist is as
grept in Germany as 1t is in this country.
L'Arronge wrote for long period, and his
plays met with high degree of success,
None Of the others had the vitality of
My Leopold" and "Haseman's Daughter"
which belonged to the FIRST days of his artis-
tic career. Then he had apparently set for
himself the task of improving the condition
of the German folk comedies, which are still
lamentably crude He put 30 much human
nature into these two pieces that they
even stood translation. although they
seemed too thoroughly German for any
foreign success. William Warren played
for years my Boy" which was the same
comedy of fathers devotion TO son I'M
worthy Of his love and indulgence.
L'Arronge made money out of his later
plays that were acted here. probably coming
out best in financial way with the adapta-
ton OF 'Der Compagnon," made over by
Martha Morton for William Crane and called
~His Wife's Father The action was olumsily
removed to Harlem setting, but the Ger
man origin Of the piece was unmistakable
"Dr. Klaus popular as 1t Is in Germany
never made any great success here.
L'Arronge's name was rarely mentioned
In the announcements Of the adaptation Of
his plays, though there was no possibility
in some cases Of Disgusting their source
American managers have since grown more
sorupulous, in acknowledging the source
OF their plays, and we're Augustin Daily
still alive IL ls extremely doubtful whether
he would have q foreign play translated,
then work IL over into New Yorkese and
give II some local color to end by announcing
II calmly az "by Augustin Daly,' with no
suggestion OF the real authors name.
II there had been any copyright and War
rem had acted my Som In this day of stars
both the actor and the playwright would
have made fortunes. As sit was EArronge
even lost what he made In Germany from
.Mein Leopold when he took theatre at
Breelau which was unguccessful and used up
all his early profit For the later plays he
recsiyed his American royalties without
question.

lOYMENT DAY.

The National Prosperity As sociation, originating in St. Louis, is doing something def- mite besides talk.
 It is acting.
 It believes the best kind of optimism is the kind that shows results.
 The best kind of boosting is the kind that puts dollars in the pockets of labor, in the till of the merchant, and into the cotferS of the legitimate tradesman and manufacturer.
 One of the things the National Prosperity Association has done is to declare next Monday, June 1, to be Employment day.
 It has secured the pledge of many firms and corporations to reinstate on that day all or near ly all of the men who have been let out during the recent stress.
 This arbitrary attempt to revive prosperity, whether it will or not, may not meet with the rull meas ure of success anticipated, but whatever it accomplishes will be that much.
 The optimist is in favor of look ing at the doughnut rather than the hole, but you will make a more enthusiastic optimist of him if you provide the doughnut for him to practice on.
 It is a movement that may eX- ercise healthier influence all around if it is generally adopted. Arkansas Democrat.

Fight Is On in Arkansas Contest Over Selection of
 Delegates at Large.

Little Rock, May 2. It is now practically settled that stub born contest will take place in the Democratic state convention to meet in Little Rock next Mon- day over the selection of the four delegates-at large to the Demo- cratic national convention, which meets in Denver in July. As forecasted in these dispatches several weeks ago, Jas. H. Har- rod. of Little Rock, a life long friend and adviser of Gov-Elect Geo. w. Donaghey, will be a candidate for membership on the big four delegation. MT. Har- rod has settled the matter by an nouncing his candidacy, and it is known that he will receive the support of Mir. Donaghey and the friends of the governor-elect Senator Jas. P. Clark, Gov. X. o. Pindall, Secretary of State O. C. Ludwig, Geo. w. Donaghey and Senator Jeff Davis will also be placed before the convention by their friends.
 MT. Donaghey has repeatedly stated that he had no desire to attend as delegate at-large, but his friends insist upon presenting his name and feel confident that he will be elected.
 The friends of the Senator Jeff Davis have also announced their intention of making a fight for him in case Senator Jas. P. Clarke is elected. Gov. Pindall. as stat ed in dispatches to The Commer- cial Appeal Sunday night, says he is also a candidate, and has every assurance that the guber- material controversy will not be revived by Speaker Allen Hami- ter in case Gov. Pindall leaves the state to attend the Denver convention.
 The selection of the big four delegation promises to be the most interesting feature of the convention. The fight over a statewide prohibition plank will also attract considerable atten- ton. Quiet work is going on all over the state among the dele gates who favor the insertion of statewide plank in the plat form. and the friends of the movement say they are confident that the convention will come to their rescue.
