Mr.. Reginald De Koven has at last
explained to palptating world how
he composes operas and operettes.
Composition" he says, "or in fact all
creative effort" Music, like poetry Il
would seem from this, comes hard. Mr..
De Koven reminds us that the poet
Shelley used to bake his head in or be-
fore a hot oven before writing his
beautiful poems OF course a head
should not be so large that it cannot
easily go into an oven. Smoking has
been found by some to induce the flow
of divine inspiration" It is needless
TO say that Mr. De Koven smokes con-
stantly when he is composing. He also
rides horseback. THE jolting in the
saddle serves to communicate with and
agtate the brain via the spine" Fur
thermore. Mr.. De Koven composes only
"in the summertime" When he does
work. the working day Is Otter. nine
teen hours long. This leaves him only
five hours for horseback riding. sleep.

indispensable duties toward society. A

BE A BOOSTER.
not be n "knocker. %

Do not be a "knocker"
In the siege OF Ladysniith during
the Boer war a civilian was tried by
court martial and imprisoned because
he discouraged the soldiers who were
defending the city.
The man would so along the picket
line and say disheartening things to
the men on duty He told them the
city was doomed. He secuted the sug.
gestion Of relief.
The court martial did right to put
him in prison.
At such a time no one should be al.
lowed TO weaken the hearts of men.
IL Is a pity every community cannot
put in prison the man and woman who
go about with gloomy faces and fore
bodings Of failure ever upon their lips.
The knocker is a prophet OF evil.
He sees only the dark side OF every
cloud. Temperamentally he cannot for.
bear TO throw cold water on gener-
Gus enthusiasm and to dampen ardor.
He throws over all things. like a wet
blanket, his doubts and questionings.
The knocker is a pesslmist.
Instead Of trying TO lift some of the
burdens from the shoulders OF toll the
knocker puts on new burdens. In.
stead Of clearing the way for weary
feet he puts other obstacles in the
path. Instead of easing the pains OF
the sufferer he helps TO widen the
wounds.
The knocker is a discourager.
In every community men and women
are defending their beleaguered cities
Of Ladysmlth Many Of them are hard
pressed, and some are on the point OF
abject surrender.
He who goes along the picket line
uttering the dlsheartening prophecies
Of failure that make heavy the hearts
and palsy the hands Of the brave de-
tenders is nothing less than a traitor
to his race.
Men and women are brave and only
need the boosting word OF encourage
ment and good cheer
There is a subtle force In suggestion.
Use It TO boost. Suggest happiness.
Talk happiness. Let happiness beam
from your face Make men see the
blue OF the sky. the beauty OF the
nower
And so shall you leave behind you
everywhere a trail Of brightness-a

Quite helpless and forlorn.

Some special goal 10 gain.
And when at length we sally forth

GRADUATED AT FORTY.sEvEN.

A few years ago DR.. Osler was made
TO say that the average man should
be retired at forty-fve and chloro-
formed at sixty years of age.
An Iowa man refutes the Osler
theory.
About four years ago George G.
White Of Nevada, Ia, developed an
appetite for politics and was elected
a member Of the legislature, where he
rapidly forged to the front.
He was chairman OF the committee
on ways and means Of the lower house
and was regarded as one of the most
forceful members of the general as
sembly.
While member Of the legislature
Mr.. White was also a student in the
law classes Of Drake university. at Des
Moines, and last spring he graduated.
But tbs is not all.
He is going to Yale for two years.
where. with his Drake credentials, he
can at the expiration Of that time
complete a postgraduate course.
Then Mr.. While will go back to his
home towh of Nevada and open a law
Office.
Now, mind you
This man is forty-seven years Of
seel
And when he gets through Yale he
will be nearly fifty years old--the age
when some men begin to think Of re-
tirins from business.
Mr.. White is wise.
Realizing a little late in life that be
had missed his vocation, that he had
made a false start, he simply backed
up and started over again. He dis.
covered he had been "cut OUT for a
lawyer. but had been spoiled in the
making Very we'll; he would make
himself over.
It is safe 10 predict that with his mi
tiative and nerve in taking up the
study Of the law at forty-hve Mr..
White will succeed in the practice Of it.
The fact is most men grow old and
die prematurely because they lose in.
terest IN life.
Mr.. White is as keen in his new.
born zest for the law as any man OF
twenty-five. His plans are projected
far into the future years. like a boys
plans. He viii begin to live his real
life at time when most men begin
to die.
He does not propose that his life
shall slowly dribble away drop by

He prefers 10 go over the precipice

Dangers of the Grip
Not coal land.

An attack of grip seldom results
fatally, but it is the indirect cause of
many deaths. If 1t does not result
in pneumonia, which ia frequently
the case, 1t leaves its victim with a
cough which fingers on long after
every other symptom of the disease
has vanished. The system is thus
left in a weakened cOndi t i 0 n
and susceptible to almost every other
disease. The grip can be greatly
lessened in it's severity if Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is used and
any tendency toward pneumonia is
promptly checked. There Ia no metli-
cine which has met with greater sue
cess in the treatment of this disease
1t cures the cough and leaves the
system in natural healthy cOndi-
ton. For sale by Columbia Phar-
