MRS. HETTY GREEN
 TALKS OF HERSELF.

Bellows Falls, Vt, October 9.-(Special) Hetty Green, one of Americas richest women, with an income of $16,O0O day, wasted five hours the other afternoon on the rickety steps of her former home here, while workmen removed several old, crumbling stone posts from the wall in front of the house.
 'T am so tired I wish I could go and lie down, but I could not rest if did until know those posts had been hauled into the woodshed, and had turned the key on, them.'' she said
 Mrs. Green is not reticent. as most women are. about telling her age, for she freely divulged that secret sacred to every woman's heart.
 q am 79 years old, and I get tired more quickly than I used to. and I'm growing to look so cid that I am ashamed to have my pictures in the newspapers.
 'To look at me now you would scarce ly believe was a handsome woman once" she continued. Twenty thousand people came to look at me when I used to go to Saratoga. President Van Blu ren of the United States, Lord This and Lady That"-and Mrs. Green rattled off many names-"used to entertain me. But I have been too busy spanking people and fighting of late years to think much about clothes. Now, there is my daugh- ter Silvia, who married Matthew Astor Wilkes a short time ago. She wears cor sets all day and keeps dressed up. and her hair frizzled, and does a lot of en- tertaining When she came to see me a while ago in New York city she was so tired that she went to bed and stayed two days

Owing to the fact that the bench will not like ly be, full until after Congress meets in December to confirm the new appoint ments to be made by President Taft, only cases of lesser importance will be argued in the meantime.

"COMMON SENSE"
BY RAIMUNDO DE OWES

friend is often considered wise as well as dignified, but, then, so is an OWL. My friend often reminds me of an owl.
 His speciality is hooting. It is rather interesting, on the whole; but hardly
 helpful. But my friend is ponderous in his gravity-eminently satisfied with him self-never unbends. I saw an owl, once, that surpassed him. It was stuffed. My friend says that this Is a frivolous gen. eraton. I look at him and think: Praise the Lordi"
 Common sense. like common people. is human. There is something real about 1t. It is kind and tolerant; and it is always laughing-with you.
 Fanaticism (whether religious, social or politicaD never laughs. It sheds blood, tortures kills It takes itself seriously, as all lunacy does; and it perverts the angle of importance from
 God and humanity at large to it's own individual self and it's own individual views.
 What. then, is common sense? It is the sum of human experience-the truth that has already been learned. It may not have very much truth; but what if has is truth. For it lives its truth instead of talking about it. It does not create a sensation; but 1t is, at least. sane. It believes in old-fash- toned love. and duty, and every day work It believes in marriage; but not in "a ffinities;" in the dignity of sin cerity. but not in the fool or the hypo- crite: in brotherly love. and the wor- shin of God, and the faith that man. ifests itself in deeds. but not in ec- clesia stical tyranny; In God. who Is superior to all mankind, but not in lit tle. man-made gods, that are inferior | in charity and sense to the devil. | The apostles were, in the main, very nlain. common- sense men. They treas | ured and left to us the sayings of Jesus. And perhaps the most startling thing that Jesus Himself said is this:
 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them
 | It is so simple-so obviously true SO lacking in mystery. And the world has clung to 1t with aggravating per | sistency ever since. For common sense | Is simple hersef--she laughs at pre- | tense-she shrewdly judges us by what | we do; what we are.
 l By their fruits ye shall know them | is divine common sense. as 1t human. | Common sense makes of God mys- | tery; but 1t will not tolerate a mys- tery in man or human nature. In blind simplicity she asks for fruit the ultimate result.

It is your sense and mine-but our sense; not our nonsense. And common mean that which belongs to all.
 There is a sense universal, and sense individual. Each of us has his own sense that which he considers sense-his in dividual idiosyncrasy, his 'crotchet.' Naturally it is not always accepted by common sense'; because 1t is individual.
 Common sense accept the tried truth. That is why tried truth is common; be- cause all accept it as proved. There is no use in railing at common sense. All that we have to do is to prove our un- common sense; and it will be gladly classed as common.
 Serious, earnest belief in the individual theory Is characteristic of lunacy. Con- mon sense knows that the Czar of Rus sia has certain parentage-lives in q certain place-occupies a certain position and station in life. Uncommon sense claims that it is the Czar of Russia; and 1t finds itself in the asylum, where common sense places 1t with downright common sense promptness.
 The "crank' always chafes over the worlds stupidity. He wonders why the But the world does not-it merely roars with common sense laughter; because it knows that lunatics always take them selves seriously. What chaos there would be If we were quick to accept theories!
 Common sense is humor, as humor is common sense. It laughs at vagaries until they cease to be vagares. Then 1t laughs at its own slowness to perceive their sense.
 good woman said to me not long ago: "Ah, we shall do away with mar riage before very long!' Common sense laughs because 1t has a common-sense view of marriage--f. e., the union of two lives by a solemn pledge between the two; and the sanctification of that union by God. There will always be the pledge and the blessing and the making holy of the union; under whatever rite they are accomplished. and by whatever name the ceremony be called. If the lady meant that desire shall gratify itself wherever it chooses (which she did not) or that children shall come Into being fin the manner in which Topsy accounted for her existence; why. then, common sense roars: and the laughter will not cease until "ilumination becomes com nonsense!
 'sThere will be only one church. some day! We are nearing unity each day, declared a friend to me the other day. Common sense replies that there is only one church. (And I do not mean the Episcopal church. or the Catholic church or even the Baptist church). If my friend means that all men will some day ac- cept what he considers to be the church, then common sense laughs again-kindly. but none the less boisteroxsly: for com mon sense realizes that unity is not necessarily uniformity; and that catholici- ty is inclusive not exclusive.
