sacon,s Wise Words.

Bacon: Those are most subject to envy which carry the greatness of their fortunes in an insolent and proud manner; being never we'll but while they are showing how great they are. either by outward pomp. or by triumphing over all opposition or competition; whereas wise men will rather do sacrifice to envy, in suffer ing themselves sometimes of purpose to be crossed and overborne in things that do not much concern them. Not withstanding, so much is true, that the carriage of greatness in plain and open manner (so 1t be without arrogance and vain .glory) doth draw less envy than if 1t be in a more crafty and cunning fashion. For in that course a man doth disavow for tune; and seemeth to be conscious of his own want in worth. and doth but teach others to envy him.

MONEY SHORTAGE UNLIKELY.

There will be no shortage of money this fall in the United States. This is the belief of the treasury department whose hand is on the pulse of the na tion's financial and business life. In the opinion of officials the danger mark, if there actually has been one has been left astern. They give these reasons for their prediction of plenti- full money:
 Primarily the banks saw what looked like a money. shortage coming several months ago. They knew they could expect no help from the United States treasury, such as they got in 1908, and prepared themselves They have piled up gold, built up reserves and cut down loans. Bonds or other securities which might not be easy to sell quickly have been turned into money. Panics foreseen never come, financiers say.
 Money is plentiful in England and on the continent of Europe That is always said to be a good sign in ma king a prediction for this country.
 Nearly every crop in the United States InlS year IS reported 10 be bumper one.
 Next month. 1t Is estimated, inves- tors all over the country will receive nearly $170.000000 in dividend checks from industrial, railroad and other corporations. That will add, of course. to the money generally in cir culation.
 One of the best reasons why treas ury officials believe there will be no money stringency is that the national banks are preparing themselves to is- sue $500, 100000 extra currency, as the emergency law provides, if they have to. The common knowledge that such an immense sum is avail, able would tend to stop any general movement to take money out of banks and hoard it in stockings.

LEFT HIM THINk|NG
MRS. GADsoN SAW HER CHANCE
 AND TOOK IT.
Of Course There Might Be Two Con structions Put Upon the Lady's Seemingly Innocent Remark,
 but He Understood.

l Mir. Gadson was in a purple mood and, after finding fault with every de tail of the dinner. settled himself in the Morris chair and gloomily picked up a newspaper. After the dishes had been cleared away and washed Mrs. Gadson silently possessed herself of newspaper also, and began looking it over. There was a long silence, and then she said cheerfully, with some thing of an interrogation in her voice:
 q see there is to be a great sale of chanticler hats"
 Its all buncombe," impolitely re- piled MT. Gadson "Buncombe and rot! The special sale is device and cheat, of which foolish women are the victims. If there were no women there'd be no bargain sales. And that would be blessing"
 "Adolphus," she gently chided. lyon are becoming brutal"

 "If woman finds pleasure. or 1t she finds profit in bargain-hunting, why not let her enjoy herself?" mild ly asked Mrs. Gadson
 "Nonsensei" he exclaimed. That's a woman all overi Besides, 1t is no torious that women don't know how to shop. Here I read in the paper that a Chicago professor who has studied the matter says that man is the ideal purchaser-he knows what it and pays for it with as few words and as little waste of time as possible and then departs. while woman- But what's the use?"
 Well, I guess you consider your self an ideal shopper?" suggested Mrs. Gadson coldly.
 Well, some" he retorted
 You wouldn't know a real bargain if it was slapped into your face.'' de clared Mrs. Gadson with sudden spirit
 "Oh. I wouldn't,'' exclaimed Mir Gadson. rising "A man is not moved by vanity when he buys. but by com mon ssen-e."
 'T don't see where that applies to you" she retorted.
 "Well then. I'll tell you" replied Mir. Gadson, looking down at her we'll worn footwear. 'T found a good bar gain in mems shoes today

 And then there followed a long. long silence.

OWNERSHIP OF A LETTER
lMIssIve Does Not Belong to Person to Whom 1t Is Sent Until
 Delivered.

Under the postal regulations and the rulings of the highest courts of the United States letter does not be- long to the person to whom it is sent until it is delivered to him. The writ. er has right to reclaim and regain possession of it, provided he can prove to the satisfaction of the post master at the office from which it was sent that he was the writer Of it. Even after the letter has arrived at the office which is its destination, and before it has been delivered to the person to whom it is addressed, it may be recalled by the writer by tele- graph through the mailing office.
 The regulations of the postofice de- pertinent of course require that the utmost care shall be taken by the postmaster at the office of mailing to ascertain that the person who desires to withdraw the letter is really the one who is entitled to do so. and the postmaster is responsible for his er- TOT if he delivers the letter to the i'm postor or an unauthorized person.
 The vital principle in our political system lies at the bottom of this mat ter. In this country the state is the servant or agent of the citizen-not his master. It remains merely his agent throughout the transmission of letter. The state may prescribe reg ulations under which its own ser- wants may carry a message for the citizen, but it cannot shirk its respon. ability to him.

SHARP RIVALRY IN SOCIETY.

This year, as ever, there arises the question as to just what is the open ing of the society season. The social leadership in Washington has never been centered in one person or one set, but each of the distinctive sets, of almost equal importance, conducts its own season as though it was the center of the social season. Only in few formal White House receptions do all sets recognize a common lead ership. And so this year Washington will have several society openings
 There is the White House set and the diplomatic. official and army and navy sets. Each has a distinct char acter of its own.
 The White House set changes as the occupants of the White House change. Political expediency rules to some extent in arranging most White House gatherings. Official society takes it's cues largely from the White House set, but it also has many activi- ties of its own. Its leaders are drawn from the families of senators, rep resentatives and other government officials /
 The diplomatic set is the most al turing. It is cosmopolitan. Good fel- lowship prevails. The social doings of the corps have a charm which is felt by all who comes within the cir cle
 In the army and navy circle there is friendship born of many expert ences in common in the service and the social life which they enjoy is de lightful.
 In all of the sets there are bright particular stars. but there is no par ticular one that greatly outshines the others.
 Among the leaders are Mrs. Meyers. wife of the secretary of the navy; Mrs. John B. Henderson, Mrs. Herbert Wadsworth, Mrs. Winthrop Murray Crane and her sister, Miss Mabel Boardman, and Mrs. Preston Gibson All these are popular and have their strong following, but among them there has not arisen one who can wield the scepter of leadership over all.

her husbands death, Mrs. Winship
 was recognized as one of the best
 read women and closest students in Wisconsin. She appeared to be famil- far with all subjects of national and state importance, and for time it was believed she would become the recognized leader of the woman's suf- frage movement in this country.
 A year ago last July Mrs Winship went to Columbus and, unknown to her relatives, took up the examina- tions for entrance into the State Uni versity and was admitted. She took language, and science met with sue cess. This winter she will study phil osophy, psychology, and literature, making speciality of Shakespeare.
 For many years she yearned for scholarly insight into the plays of the immoral bard, but it was not until she neared her eightieth year that the opportunity came. She had been de- nied the advantages of a high edu- cation in youth, and cherished the idea of taking it up as the years rolled by. but when she had passed 75 without the way being opened it was believed she had given it up
 Last winter no snows of the campus and no other conditions of weather were sufficient to keep her from the school rooms. She was the most pune tual student at the university.
 Mrs. Winship attended a summer school at Tower Hill, Wis, which was conducted by Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chicago. At the close of the school | term she visited Racine and a week ago informed relatives that she would | re-enter the Ohio university. She de- clared that she would finish the four year course and probably take a post graduate course.

offered by the Italian Aviation society of Milan, Italy, to any aviator who would fly in a heavier-than-air ma chine from Brig, Switzerland, to Milan The race was regarded as particularly hazardous because it was necessary for the aviator to rise to height of about 1000 feet immediately on leav- ing the ground and maintain that alti- tude for at least half an hour in or der to clear the Simplon pass. Chavez succeeded in rising to the required al titude and crossing the Simplon pass safely. At Domodossolo. on the Ital- ian side, while he was steering his machine to the aerodrpme. to rest on his voyage, the wings of the aeroplane collapsed and the machine and its daring occupant were dashed to the ground. The fall was only from a height of 30 feet, but Chavez. who was caught beneath the aeroplane when it fell. was terribly injured. Both legs were broken, his left thigh was shat tered and he was otherwise injured. He was taken to the hospital, where he fingered until the following day. when he died. Before he died half the prize money had been awarded him.
 It is a singular thing that the acci- dent should have occurred after he had accomplished the most dangerous part of his flight and that after having sailed at height of 1000 feet over frightful chasms and eternal snows he should meet his death by a fall of only 30 feet.

Mrs. Leroy signs the name of William H. Taft to United States land patents for which service she receives $1, 200 year. The position is a sinecure and is given to the widows of officers who have served in the army and navy.
 The worn and soiled money that comes to the treasury for redemption is handled by a man with a delft hand and accurate eye.

GETTING A PLEASANT VOICE One Should Practice Low, Sweet Tones and Speak Thoughts of a
 Kind Heart.

Would you have a voice that is mu- sical and pleasing? Americans should listen while foreigner talks and then compare their voices with the soft sounds of the people of other lands. Practice the low sweet tones that are possible to every one, if but a little time be taken to give the voice mu- sical intonation. The habit will grow, like most habits, and reward the one who has devoted her thought to it.
 One must start in youth and be on the watch night and day, while at work and while at play, to get and keep a voice which shall speak at all times the thought of a kind heart.
 But this is the time when a sharp voice is more apt to be acquired. You often hear boys and girls say words at play with quick, sharp tone, al- most like the snap of a whip. If one of them is vexed you hear a voice which sounds as if it were made up of snarl, whine and bark.
 Such a voice often speaks worse than the heart feels. It shows more ill-wiu in tone than in words It is often in mirth that one gets voice or tone which is sharp, and which stays with him through life. Some people have sharp home voice for use, and keep their best voice for those they meet elsewhere. Use your best voice at heme. Watch it by day as a pearl of great price, for it will be worth more to you in the days to come than the best pearl hid in the sea

$200,000. Then he proceeded to lose
 it in theatricals and, undaunted, went
 back to invention and tobacco again and got out another machine. which
 was again sold for big sum-.
 It was just about this time that la built his big theater on Thirty-second street, New York This he after wards sold to Roster & Bial for their famous music hall. which he ran for them for time
 Even then he had the desire for op- cratic management and his first use of the theater was for the producing of opera in English. That failed, so he became a dramatic manager and brought over Mrs. Bernard Beere, an English society woman, the precursor of Langtry. She had made a great sue position and the persistent booming of her aristocratic friends.
 She was a terrible failure in New York. The theater was so large that her weak trickle of a voice was swal- lowed up in it, and her play, "Ari adne," was such that the critics roast ed it furiously. Maurice Barrymore was her leading man.
 Hammerstein by that time had lost all his money, so he turned over the theater to Roster & Bial
 Oscars money had vanished, but his high spirits remained and so when he was met in London by Ralph Blumen- berg, a former New York newspaper man then on the London Mail, he an swered in characteristic manner. He wore then-and this is some fifteen or sixteen years ago-the same hat. of a French bouleVardier. that has made him famous.
 Oscar has his happy speech always with him. Not long ago he was la menting the fact that great voices in opera are so perishable. Yes. re- marked listener, it must be terrible when professional singer knows she has lost her voice."
 But it is still worse" Oscar came back. when she doesn't know it.
 When misfortune overlook Hammer stein and he had to sell his Philadel- phia opera house and close his Man. haitian opera house. he agreed with the Metropolitan opera house people. who gave him more than a million dollars. to withdraw from grand opera entirely. But he reserved the right to io light opera and he has shown his thereby.
 Recently he produced Hans the | Flute Player" at his Manhattan He gave it grand opera cast and set ing of the regulation Hammerstein favor. And he made thereby thump- ng success. He will probably earn mother fortune with it between New fork and the road.

Petty Insults.

We learn with alarm that a num- Der of New York walters recently banded themselves together for mu- tual protection and decided not to accept insulting tips.
 What makes this action more wild ly aggravating is the fact that the fines and penalties and terms of i'm prisonment for the unhappy wretch who proffers the f t. are not men toned But we can infer that the cheap parasite who tenders a self-re- specting waiter a paltry dime, for instance, may expect repatriation at the very least.
