Why Trace the EanIe2

Years ago, before Senator Bever-
ldge was as conspicuous politically as
he is now, he belonged to a literary
club in indianapolis, formed for the
purpose of studying Shakespeare, and
known as the Avon club.
Early in the history Of the club a
heated discussion arose as to wheth-
er the life of Shakespeare should be
studied together with his plays, or
whether the clubs work should deal
solely with the plays Part of the
club-a prominent part-were for the
life, but the minority, led by Bever-
idge, held out against them.
why" explained the future sena-
tor, in the midst of a burst of elo-
quence in defense Of his stand-"why
should we want to spend our time
over the unimportant details of this
mans life? Why trace the eagle to
the barnyard whence he came ?"-Lip-
pincott's.

the pike to themselves and Tom was

She did not reply at once The un-
deceived inner self was telling her that
here lay the parting OF the ways; that
on her answer would be built the struc-
ture, formal or confidential, OF their
future Intercourse. Loyalty to the halo
demanded self-restralnt; but every
other fiber Of her was reaching out Tor
a re-establishment OF the old boy-and-
girl openness OF heart and mind, Her
hesitation was only momentary.

King Edwards good nature was Il,
lustrated the other night by a London
correspondent at the Press club in
New York.
"The king" said the correspondent,
was visiting Rufford Abbey, and one
morning, in company with his host,
Lord Arthur Savile, he took a walk
over the preserves.
Suddenly Lord Arthur, a big burly
man, rushed forward and seized a
shabby fellow with a dead pheasant
protruding from the breast of his coat.
Sir said Lord Arthur to the king,
this fellow is bad egg. This is the
second time I've caught him poaching.'
But the kings handsome face
beamed, and he laughed his gay and
tolerant laugh.
"'Oh, let him 60, he said If he
really were a bad egg, you know. he
wouldn't poach.'"

SULTAN OF TERNATE.

Quaint Entertainment Furnished by
the Comic Opera Ruler.
There was a time when the Sultan
of Ternate had great power and riches,
and lived in grand style. But now
adays, when this potentate shows him
self to his people, he rides in state
carriage gift from the government,
dating from a very remote period of
the coach building art-which is
dragged and pushed by natives, whose
business It is to take the place Of
horses. 1t is said that horses are
scarce on the island and that the Sui
tan resents the idea of placing a native
coachman in a more elevated position
than himself; therefore, he prefers to
drive out at a snail's pace, towed by
coolies.
When the resident returns an official
visit he is fetched in the same vehicle,
and in the same curious style. Visits
are generally paid by the resident at
7 o'clock in the evening, and the car
riage is then accompanied by torch
bearers, which adds to the fantastic
appearance of the cortege and causes
great excitement among the islanders,
who flock to watch the procession. 1t
takes half an hour to reach the palace
from the residents house, and at Ae
palace the Sultan awaits his guest at
he foot of the steps, surrounded by
lckeys holding lighted candles On
ha y,,rfHnnf tho Gn1tan
offers him his arm and leads him up
the steps to his reception hall, where
few chairs covered with red velvet
have been placed beforehand. The res
ident takes a seat to the right of the
Sultan, and the native secretaries place
themselves at either side of their royal
master. AS soon as the resident is
seated a servant brings a basin of
water for his excellency to wash his
hands, If he wishes to do so, but as a
rule the resident waves him off. Tea
and cakes are next presented; arter
which troupe Of royal woman
dancers, to the number of half dozen
or so, walk slowly in stately fashion,
one behind the other, accompanied by
a clarinet player in the uniform of the
period.
At the end of the performance the
ladies' walk out in the same slow and
stately manner, and then there Is a
pause, during which cigars and sweets
are presented. At the termination Of
the interval another set Of dancers
this time of the male sex-file in, fol-
lowed by large number of musicians
playing vlolins, flutes and drums. The .
dance of the men consists of series
Of high jumps and acrobatic perform
ances, ending by their forming them
selves into a human pyramid. The .
male dancers wear curious harlequin
costumes with three-cornered hats or
lamented with birds-of-paradise feath-
,rs, the sight of which would turn any
European lady green with envy. 1t Is
now time for the resident to return
lome. and the ancient carriage, with
ts quaint human horses and torch
bearers, is once more placed at his dis
losal

II may be said without fear Of con-

universal and so common 10 all peo-

The kiss Is also one Of the Oldest, II

history was written and the kiss apI
pears and reappears in various coun.
tries and various ages in one guise or
another, either as a demonstration Of
love. mark Of affection, or sign Of rev.
erence or veneration. The custom Of
kissing may have originated with the
Jews, but II is more likely that 1t was
an old custom, even in the days Of
Noah. II is altogether probable that
It had its origin in a sort Of "spon-
taneous combustion" in the Garden Of
Eden. But no mention is made in the
bible of an exchange of courtesy
through the lips in the Garden Of
Eden, although the custom may have
been too old even then to deserve
even passing comment. AS a custom
was completed and the repair pits
in the case Of relatives and kissing on
the cheek in case of friends. The Gus
tom was widespread and was merely
a mark Of affection and friendship.
Travellers having business with the
Jews came to admire the Jewish Gus
tom of kissing and helped to spread
the gospel of the kiss among the 9th,
er nations of the earth. The Romans
proved adept pupils of the Jews in
this respect and the custom of kissing
became a fourishing institution among
the Romans at an early date.
When kissing became the rage in
ancient Rome the significance attach

ice, as an indication of brotherhood.

ly useful instrument, and 1t became
the prerogative Of any one to kiss any
woman at sight. The theory was that
as the use of wine and intoxicating
beverages was prohibited women by
law by kissing a woman it was posi-
BILE to ascertain If she had broken the
law and imbibed from the flowing
bowl It was great in those days to
be a policeman in Rome. But some
how ugly women were never sus-
pected of having taken a nip, and tho
result was that all those naughty Ro-
mans stood around on the corners
waiting for pretty women to pass that
they might sample their breath and
their lips, too. This may or may not
be the origin of the corner loafer. OF
course, this promiscuous kissing be-
came a great evil and a public null
sance, especially as crowds would
gather around good-looking women
and tie up traffic. The Emperor Au-
gustus, as we'll as Tiberius, a little
later, found it necessary to enact laws
kissing on the streets, and
after the ordinances were enforced
the kiss was used in smaller doses,
much as 1t is used today. But the

CHAPTER XVII

How Tom Gordon had informed him
self Of the precise day and train of
their home coming, Ardea did not think
to inquire But he was on the plat
form when the train drew in, and was
the first to welcome them.
She was quick to see and appreciate
the changes wrought in him, by time,
by the Boston sojourn, by the sum
mers struggle with adverse men and
things-though of this last she knew
nothing as yet. 1t seemed scarcely
credible that the big, handsome young
fellow who was shaking hands with
her grandfather, helping Miss Euphra-
sla with her multlfarlous belongings,
and making himself generally useful
and hospitable, could be a later rein

when the last Of Cousin Euphrasias
treasures had been rescued from the

his life comes from too much work, or

that 1t fails in this respect. The GUS

Judge in the seventeenth century

such stern and dignified appearance
that he decided to get one for himself
