FATAL REALISM.

Playing in the cellar of his home
at Philadelphia, a few days ago
Charles Smith, an 11-year-old boy
shipped a moose about his neck, after
having first attached an end to the
ceiling. He then jumped from the
top of table on which he was stand
ing. When his mother was brought
to the cellar a few minutes later at
tracted by the calls of her youngel
son, the child was dead. The boy go

go to the cellar with him. Charlie.
got a rope from the kitchen, and
hauling a table to the middle of the
cellar, reached up and fastened one
end to a rafter. Then making q
moose he placed it over his head and
threw himself from the table. His
brother watched his dying struggles
in glee, thinking that Charles was
only making the scene realistic,
Later when his brothers movements
were stilled and he would not an.

and called his mother.

With All Men Of He Mind, Wars
Would Soon Cease.

Alfred II. Love, the president Of
the Universal Peace union, told the
other day in Philadelphia a peace
story.
"At the Christmas season." he
said, "men. talk sincerely about low
ing one another, about the universal
brotherhood Of man, and in the same
breath they assert that it is right to
burn and main and kill in war.
"They are not so logical as a
young colored recruit who served in
the Philippines.
"This young man, at the end Of
his initial engagement, was hailed be-
fore his captain.

"'Yes, sab an I'd a. run sooner,

"'Have you no regard for your

"Mah reputation hain't muffin t.

"The captain smiled and twirlec
his mustache. Here was an intelli
gent young man. He'd talk hin
over to the right point of view.
" Even if you should lose YOU
life, Calhoun, he said, you'd hav,
the satisfaction of knowing that you
had died for your country
"'Wot satisfaction could dat b,

LETTER POSTAGE.

Strange ideas some people have
about postage" said the clerk who
opens the mail. eyes. See this let
ter here with three one-cent stamps
on it and stamped one cent duep
That's a case in point. The writer
of that letter thought that perhaps
it weighed a little over an ounce, q
little more than would 60 for two
cents, and SO he put ON little more
postage-one cent more-which he
thought would cover it, when the
fact is that it required an additional
two-cent stamp.
"Of course you know that letter
postage is not fractional, but that it
goes in multiples Of two. IL a letter
weighs ever so little over an ounce
it requires an additional two-cent
stamp; but not everybody seems to
know this, and so we sometimes get
letters like this one with a little
more postage for a little more
weight"

Clyde Fitch, the Dramatist, Was Able
TO Write Under Almost Any Cir
cumstanocs.

II Is not often one sees the actual
writing Of a play. Naturally few
authors care for onlookers while
they work. Clyde Fitch was con-
spicuons exception. He was able to
write under almost any circum-
stances. Indeed, had he not been, he
hardly could have produced as album
dainty as he did. Habitually he
rose early and was at his desk while
the morning was yet young. But he
made no hard and fast rule as to
working hours. An instance of his
freedom from that notionalism 80
typical Of creative writers occurred
while he was in the midst Of "The
Girl With the Green Eyes" A par
ty of intimates were spending the
weekend with him at his country
house. During the lazy Sunday
afternoon, while his guests were oc-
cupying themselves variously, he
took paper and pencil to a corner Of
the long room in which they were
all gathered. Disregarding their
games and chatter, he worked out
his scene-a scene in the second act
of that delightful comedy, which
ranks with the best work he has ever
done.-Metropolitan Magazine.
