CRYING NEED, AS He SEES IT
Companion Of irritated Divines Came
to the Front with Order to
the Waiter.

Joaquin Miller is to establish a
colony of poets in Fruitvale, Cal. Mr..
Miller, discussing this colony recently,
said:
I'VE poets will, of course, argue
and squabble. That will be delight
full. Arguments and squabbles over
Matthew Arnold, Swinburne, Tenny-
son and Keats are pleasant and SEN
sible things, you know. They are
not like political or religious argu-
ments, which in their bitter rancor al
ways make me think of three Maine
divines.
while three Maine divines were
supping together, two of them be-
gan to argue about the comparative
religious merit of the royal houses
of Stuart and Orange. The argument
became heated. The divines grew ex-
cited and angry.
William III. was a great rascal
roared the first, as he struck the table
with his fist. "A great rascal, and l
spit upon his memory!'
"The second divine, turning very
red, shouted;
mo, it's James II. that was the
rascal. l spit upon his memory
At this point the third divine ran
the bell, and said gently to the waiter:
"~'Spittoons for two, please"

TROUBLE IN ROYAL PALACE
Tidings Borne by Amateur Actor Suf,
flcient to Lead Hearers to Ex-

performances that were distinguished

"The queen has swooned." AS he
stepped forward his friends applauded

faced the king and said, In a high.

queened."
There was a roar Of laughter; but
he waited patiently, and made an
other attempt:
"The sween has cooned."
Again the walls trembled and the
stage manager said in a voice which
could be heard all over the house.
Come off, you doggoned fool"
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender, and in a rasping fal.
setto, as he was assisted off the stage,
he screamed: THE coon has

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS.
UnseIfishness in Life Is the One Thing
That viii Transform All
Things to Gold.

The moment we set about the task
of making every human being we
come in contact with better for know
ing us-more cheerful, more coura-
geous and with greater faith in the
kindness Of God and man-that mo-
inent we begin to attain the third pur-
pose of life-personal happiness.
Would you possess the magic secret
Of the alchemist which transforms all
things to gold?
1t is unselishness-or, to use a bet
ter word, sellessness.
He who goes forth bent upon being
always kind, always helpful, in the lit
tie daily events of life, will find all
skies tinted with gold, all his nights
set with stars and unexpected flowers
of pleasure springing up in his path
way.
And all his tears shall turn into
smiles.-Brooklyn Eagle.
