A Corner In Autonraphs.

Mascagni, the Italian composer, does
not speak foreign languages, so he
usually travels with secretary, who
helps him out in this respect When
in Vienna he was struck with the i'm
mense number of autographs which
were requested of him every morning
by his secretary. Sheet after sheet
was laid before him until he was thor
oughly tired. One day, taking UP a
newspaper, he caught sight of his own
name and with languid curiosity asked
a friend to translate. 1t was an ad-
vertisement and ran as follows: 'Maes-
tro Maseagni, in consequence of the
immense number of autographs asked
Of him, has decided to sell them for
a form each, the proceeds going to
charitable institution in Vienna
Please inclOse form in demand"
He computed that his secretary made
upward of a thousand forms by this

No Rest on the Ocean.

There was a time when nerve spe-
cialists prescribed trip to Europe in
order to calm down their patients.
That time has gone by. The madness
for record" and speed. the mania for
bridge, poker and gambling on the
days run, the necessity for making d
different toilet three times in the day,
the wireless. with it's relentless pur-
suit; the department store. the after
noon vaudeville and the evening con-
cert-all these and many more excite
ments on our modern leviathans make
ocean travel a cross between five days
at Palm Beach and Monte Carlo.
There is a popular demand for the
old fashioned steamer that will take
ten days for the passage to Europe;
that will give one time to enjoy one
self and get the benefit of the sea after
the almost inevitable sickness; that
will not permit gambling and upon
which the wireless is not used except
in case of accident or necessity. There
are thousands of victims of our neu-
rotic times who would welcome a real
sea voyage instead of fake ferry trip.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Presidents Desk.

If the thousands who sit in the pres
ident's reception room i'll the White
House waiting for an audience only
knew it they might make the time
there seem less mOnotOnous by con-
templating the principal article of fur
niture. the executives desk. 1t is
handsome and massive. with wealth
of carving, but its chief interest con-
Sists in its historic origin. You ali
know that Sir John Franklin went TO
discover the north pole and never
came back. His good ship Resolute
drifted in the currents of the Arctic
ocean, spared from destruction in
some mysterious manner, until she
reached the waters off the shores Of
Alaska, where some American whaiefs
boarded her and claimed her. When
she reached San Francisco the United
States bought her, repaired her, re-
fitted her. manned her with an Amer
lean crew and sent her to England
with international compliments. The
old ship was broken up about thirty
years ago, and from the soundest of
her timbers a handsome desk was
made by direction of the queen to be
presented to the then president of the
United States. That is the desk that
stands in the presidents reception
room, and on it the papers of at least
eight administrations have been writ

ed similar but larger piece of eccen-
trio architecture for exhibition in that
city. The impression made upon the
person who enters the mirror walled

lamps burning. The hall is hexagonal
in shape, and standing in it's center
one sees six halls of equal size and be-
yond these twelve more and then
eighteen, and SO on. The inner space
is Illuminated by $500 colered incan-
descent lamps, 1900 of which are turn

stops to count the lamps in sight, if
this could be accomplished, would fnG

.THE SILVER CORD. /"

Since Homer's time the poets have
sung about "the thread of life" and
the phrase has gone into our common
speech.
Did you know there is real
thread Of life?''
Science has recently discovered this
real thread, which, if it is snapped
means instant death.
This thread is ONLY AN INCH
LONG AND ONE-TWELFTH OF AN
INCH THICK. Il is II the heart arc

the ventricles of that organ.

which pump the blood back into the

Fortunately for US, this attenuated

deeply, and thus protected from injury.
Which explains why bullet through

necessarily bring death.

Nature has done her best to protect
the little cord by surrounding muscle

repair the organ in which it is located,
but when the thread is broken the
transmission of vital force is ended,
the engine stops, and the man is dead.
"Or ever the silver cord be broken"
literally saith the old Scriptures.

SEEANU AhE ELEKnANAS
Do you remember the story of the
three blind men who went to "see'' the
elephant?
One of the blind men took the .ele-
nhant by the ears and, passing his
hand over them, said, "The elephant is
wide and fat like pancake"
Another put his hand on the crea-
lures trunk and said: you are mis-
taken. brother The elephant is large
and round and tapers to point"
The third blind man seized the ele-
phant as to his tail and said: You are
both mistaken. The elephant is round,
indeed, but he is small and long like a
hoe handle"
And they went away, each convinced
he had seen the elephant and disput-
ing with the others as to what the
elephant might be like.
We are all more or less blind.
Each of US sees only a part of the
truth. And, seeing in part, we dispute
with our fellows concerning the shape
of the elephant.
It is because we have different an
giles Of vision.
We see men and things from our
own individual standpoint, and then
we think we are right and the others
wrong.
And we are thus warped in our be-
aiefs and prejudices.
A few years ago the writer made a
visit to a relative who lived on his
S'farnl" of twenty-four acres a few
miles north of New York city. While
there he told of wheatfelds in the
northwest thousands of acres in ex-
1ent.
1t was evident the New York rela-
i9ive, who had never been outside his
state, believed his cousin to be stretch
ing the truth out of all proportion
And, Oh the other hand, a western
farmer, being told this New York man
had become fairly wealthy on his
9wenty-four acres, laughed heartily a.
dhe Joke
In New York city Buffalo is west >
an the far west Des Moines is least.
It depends on how you see the ele-
phant
And the moral?
Cultivate the broad vision, the wide
horizon, else you may become not
sonly narrow minded, but opinionated
and uncharitable.
For instance
You see a single phase of some per-
sons character-a one sided view. 1t
may be you see the weaknesses and
overlook the good points. You judge
che person unjustly.
In seeing the elephant" do not de
eide until you have seen more than
his ears, his trunk or his TAIL

SOME PLAIN WORDS.

Young man
You have no right to make love to a
girl unless you intend to marry her.
And especially you have no moral right
TO continue your attentions for a long
period Of time without declaring your
sell.
Because
Such a course Of action is dishonor-
able and because you harm yourself
by pretending love when you do not
: entertain such sentiments.
But particularly
BY your continued counting and I'M
warranted delay.you are guilty of per
: ponal wrong to the young woman, and
you are standing In the way of her fu-
&nre happiness.
Youth is woman's opportunity for
marriage. 1t is her attractive age. Ii
she misses that chance she may go
through life disappointed and bereft.
You are seen at her side and visit
regularly at her house You are sup
posed to be her sutton, and the COM
munity after a time takes it for
granted you are engaged to her And
because of this general belief other
sgnarriageable young men stay away.
Meantime the girl awaits your pro-
posaL
1t ought to be Forthcoming, and by
Withholding the formal offer you treat
the girl most cruelty. Hope deferred
anaketh the heart sick"
Besides
You may subject her to humiliation.
Her friends, in view of your actions,
are apt to ask her what day the we'd
ding is set for. And thus, besides her
personal misery because of your neg
lect, she is made to suffer mortifica-
ton because Of your se1fshness.
What has the poor girl done that you
should punish her?
Particularly dishonorable is such
conduct if the young lady is unprotect-
esta-if she has no big brother to put
the Integrity of your intentions square,
~ up to you, no mother wise enough
and keen enough because of her love
re wrest your secret motives from you
and compel a formal declaration.
Certainly you are not base enough to
win the heart of good girl merely to
sprove your mastery or merely for your
ssport.
IN love matters, as in all others, the
only right way Is the open and homes
way, Let the young woman know pre-
2isely what you propose. Let nothing
be taken for granted.
II you do not intend to marry hes
you should not monopolize her.
Give the girl her chance.
