GOT The WRONG CUE.
Tom keene Didn't Give the Same Ono
Mccullough Did.

When Tom Keene took long tours
through the northwest, where tragedy
is still in favor, he used to keep his
company down in numbers on account
of the jumps and the high railroad
fares, writes Drury Underwood There
were various ways. of doing this, such
as by doubling and by putting a tin
suit on the electrician now and then.
One play had long cast, however,
and the advance agent was instructed
to pick up some local man for one of
the bits" Keene arrived in one
night stand and made his way to the
theater to meet the recruit for the play
in question. He introduced himself to
the manager and explained the situa-
ton. The local dignitary said: THAT
has been arranged, Mr.. Keene. Jones,
the house property man, is going to
play the part. I'll send for him"
Jones appeared presently. He yawn-
ed and stretched his arms continually.
putting two or three gaps in every SEN
tence. The part consisted of two lines,
but on them hung the vital situation of
the play. Keene sized Jones up for
his wardrobe and then asked him If he
was ready to rehearse
NO" said Jones. 81 played the part
with Mccullough twice"
That seemed promising, and Keene
was satisfied The particular scene of
the performance came, and Keene,
looking into the wings, saw Jones
yawning and stretching. He gave him
the speech for his entrance, but Jones
did not bulge. He repeated 1t without
success and then had to fake the scene,
which fell fat, running the perform
ance Keene came off the stage in a
fury and spluttered, why didn't you
come on when you saw me waiting
there?'
Didn't get my cue" said Jones.
II gave it to you twice"
mot the cue Mccullough gave me-"
"What cue did he give YOU?

Epies of the Great Events In Our Ma
tional History.
We have many volumes of commem-
oration odes Of quite respectable liter
airy quality. but we look in vain for an
epic of the war of the Revolution.
which might oil each one of us with
the heroic spirit and bind us all in
that living union of great hearted hui
mility which is the supreme national
pride. We look In vain for an epic
on the great civil war, with one of the
greatest of all life's soldiers as its
Aeneids those wonderful expeditions
across this contlnent-the travels of
Lewis and Clark, the settlement Of
the forty-niners. the opening up Of
Alaska. the reclamation of the deserts
and the founding of Texas How other
wise than through poetry are our chill
dren to possess the beauty and the
glory and the spiritual grandeur of the
saga figures who founded this marvel
Gus union of states, of those heroes
who highly resolved" and so highly
achieved? 1t is true Walt Whitman
chanted the song of democracy. but
his chant is a magnificent prophecy of
an ideal-it Is an exhortation, not q
poetic manifestation. The spirit that
strove and is striving toward a realiza-
ton of this democracy is best caught
when exemplified in the lives and
deeds of the men who lived and fought,
who conquered and died fighting, NOV
ed by this spirit. This is the creative
work of the poet we await.-Temple

JAPAN'S BOOKS ALL ALIKE.
Originality Not Considered Virtue In
the Mikado's Land.

The position of literary men in ia
pan differs in many especial respects
from that which is accorded writer's
of prominence in the western world,
writes Paul S. Reinsch in the North
American Review. The individuality
Of literary fame and literary person
atty in its various aspects have not
been developed In the orient to nearly
the same extent as in the west. The
great books to which men return again
and again for guidance and inspiration
have been written thousands of years,
and those men who earned fame there
after won their laurels by writing com
mentaries upon the classics. No merit
attached TO originality Moreover,
most writings were anonymous. Es-
pecially If they were original was 1t
advisable that the author should not
make his personality too prominent.
While learning was always respected,
authorship never had the position in
Japan and other oriental countries
that it has enjoyed in the west from
the Greeks down to the present.
The Japanese mind will excel in the
future in many directions, but the
greatest development may be expected
! in those activities for which racial
and social experience has best prepar
ed the intellect. A strong but selective
realism in literature. delicate word
painting, the successful search for
mastery over the forces Of nature. a
grasp of social and political relation
ships-these are among the things we
may expect from the Japan Of the
future,

N otifyinu the God.

One of the odd things the visitor to
Burma will notice is the large number
Of bells about the pagodas. These
bells are usually hung on sacred posts
few feet above the ground. They
are sweet toned, as all Burmese bells
are, but they are not furnished with
tongues. The worshiper who comes to
pray before the pagoda strikes one of
these bells with wooden mallet. This

1t is said that Bryan Waller Proc

wrote the well known poem

was the very worst of sailors. When
we read that he was so seasick that
he could scarcely bear the sound of a
human voice it becomes apparent that
his wife's conduct during his alillction
could scarcely have been reassurlng.
AS he lay on the deck Of channel
boat, covered with shawls and tar
paulin, she had the pleasing habit or
humming strain of his jovial sea
song. The poet who loved the sea, but
loved it best at Il distance. had very
little life Just then, but what force he
had was used in the entreaty:
Don't. my dear! Oh, don't"
Yet no doubt he loved the sea.
