THESOCIALPOSITION
AS DEFINED BY MRS. CHAMP
CLARK, WIFE OF THE NEXT
SPEAKER Of CONGRESS.
Deplores So-Cailed Fads of Society
Women for Examples Leaders
Should Strive Toward Simplicity
Says Every Woman Should Have a
Husband and Home.

"First of all, said Mrs, Champ
Clark, wife of the next speaker of con
gress, in recent interview, eff there
is anything in so-called social position,
women should use every influence to set
the example that will react on the in
dividuals who come under her intlu-
ence. OF all things the most deplorable
are those so-calied. fads of society
women, extreme in their tendencies,
that cause continual longing and striv-
ing to reach by people who can not
afford it. This trait is very often the
downfall of many individuals, espe-
cially women.'
Mrs. Clark, tall enough to be grace
full and of commanding appearance, is
one of the most charming matrons at
the national capital. "Women in the
public eye" she continued, "who are
continually looked upon as examples
should strive to radiate an atmosphere
of simplicity and good will that will
tend to create the same sentiments in
the people who desire to emulate or
copy them"
Should Have Husbands.
Mrs. Clark believes in encouraging
Dan Cupid, for she says if she could
have her way, every woman in Amer
lea would have a husband and a home
of her own.
"Primarily," said Mrs. Clark,
" American women are more appreci-
alive and grasp opportunities more
readily than any other women in the
world, no matter where they are; but
in my judgment woman should have an
opportunity to be queen of the home
first of all

tensive grounds. Adams opened the
door himself, for he had sent away his
servants, in accordance with the doc
tors mandate. He led us into long

with inscriptions, and, here and there,
some upright mummy case, beautiful

spices.
But what attracted and facinated
me was a long table In the center Of
the hall. 1t was not unlike billiard

top was level with it's edges. It's sur
face was composed of slate, and 1t had
been set level with scvupulous care,
as was evidenced by the little bead
within the spirit level, that stood pre-
cisely in the center of the glass tube.
Upon this was a magnificent mummy
case, into each end of which had been
fitted a very modern handle of brass.
Now, sir" said the professor to
Brodsky, IF you will stand at this
end and take the handle / will show
you our friend Sesostris."
The two men took their positions.
the one at the head, the other at the
foot of the case, and, with some diff
ficulty, they raised the lid. l started
forward, but remained rooted to the
spot in establishment, not unmixed
with admiration.

SIMPLY ACCIDENT OF BIRTH
German Scientist upsets Theories a.
to Genius-DenIes That II 10
Hereditary.

Prof. wilhelm Ostwald, an eminent
German scientist, declares that "geni-
US is an accident of nature" He de-
MES that great talent or conspicuous
ability is hereditary-at least, in any
marked or conclusive degree.
The truth is. genius is term Of
very great elasticity. 1t is relative,
and so. it means one thing here and
another thing yonder. One man is q
genius at figures. another at writing.
another at mechanical work. another
at picking pockets. If it means apt
ness, II is the handmaiden OF prac-
tice, generally; IL 1t means power and
ability successfully applied to the ac-
complishment Of wonderful and help
full things. 1t Is the slave of hard
work and rigid attention to the same
nothing more or less.
Genius never accomplished any
thing much In this world merely be-
cause of its existence therein. It Is
like grand piano-pregnant with
magnificent possibilities in the hands
of one who has learned through years
of toll and application how to get the
soul-aspiring music out Of 1t. but a
useless thing, indeed. In the hands OF
one who knows It not. Not that the
man who knows it not, moreover, may
not himself be able to get startling
results from subtle manipulation OF
a handsaw and file. The basic prin-
ciple underlying both is the same
identical. Genius is not within the
piano, nor yet within the handsaw and
file. They are instruments through
which it may be made manifest; the
genius is in the man, and is to be
revealed only through the piano and
the handsaw, because the man has
labored to learn how he may truly
make it known.
So we get back where some philoso-
pher-Mark Twain, perhaps-started
us; and we must admit the approx
mate truth of the contention that
genius is. after all, merely hard work.
To call IT IAN accident Of nature" 10
to belittie It and undignify II. What
ever genius is, 1t Is not an accident.
What part heredity plays in differen-
tiating the genius from the common
run, so called. Of mankind, we are not
prepared to say. But surely that
which may so positively be cultivated
and rounded into full life is no 'acci-
dent"-Washington Herald.

through time, much as. although we
in the carriage think the fields are
passing us, it is, in reality, we who
are passing them. The matter is
little dificult to explain. but let me
offer you an analogy. Picture human
life as a snake that wriggles past a
certain point of vision. 1t appears out
of the unknown, crawls along the
ground. and disappears, no dne knows
whittier, leaving nothing to mark its
course except its trail in the dust.
But, because we see it no longer, that
does not prove that 1t has ceased to
exist, or that 1t is not contemporaries
GUS with other snakes that crawled
past yesterday. or may crawl past In
future. So with our savage. He came
from the unknown and disappeared; he
changed from youth to age, as the
snake changes from head to tail, Ia
pering away into nothingness. Yet let
us take comfort In the thought that,
even as with Sesostris, with you and
with me, no human life is purpoSeless;
and If we cannot understand the final
cause of things we know that all will
be well with u.s."
