THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE.

ella Wheeler Wilcox has written many books Of
verse Cf more or less merit, but her chief bid for
far1e is based on the following poem, than which
few, more appealing bits of have appeared in
modern literature).
Laugh, ard the world laughs with you;
Weep. and you weep alone,
For the sad old earth must borrow its
mirth,
But has trouble enough of it's own.
Sing. and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the ear.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and 60.
They want full measure of all your
pleasure,
But do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
BE sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared
wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded.;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls Of pleasure
For long and lordly train,
But.one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

The Revolver Won.

Robert Pinkerton once told q
story of his father, the founder Of
the detective agency, which illus
trates the elder Pinkerton's caution.
A noted criminal was detained in
Pinkerton's Chicago Office. The
elder Pinkerton left the room and
when he returned took the precau-
ton Of holding a revolver in front
of him.
he saw the criminal standing by
the door with q snufbo1 he had
picked up from Pinkerton's desk in
his hand.
''This is good snuff" afably re-
marked the crook as he took sniff.
"For the eyes or the nose?"
asked Pinkerton, who kn&l that
the crook had intended to blind
him in an effort to escape.
~Well," remarked the criminal,
'I'm sorry to say that the nose gets
It this time"

An opportunist.

Some facility in trimming sails to
the passing breeze was very useful
to the newspapers of a hundred
years ago. This is how one Of the
Paris papers announced the arrival
and advance of Napoleon after his
escape from Elba: "The Corsican
brigand has landed at Cannes;" the
next day, 'sThe rash usurper has
been received at Grenoble." Then
the tone changed: General Bona
parte has entered Lyons" a few
days after, Napoleon is at Fon-
tainebleau," and finally, "His majes-
ty the emperor alighted this even
ing at his palace Of the Tuileries." !"

dent in t'Napoleon and the End Of

Effort is being made to work up
maudlin sympathy on behalf Of Dr
Bigham, who, with W B Avant, was
convicted of killing Mrs Ruth Crisp
Bigham, the young wife of DR. Big
ham, at Murrell's Inlet about two
years ago. Inasmuch as Bigham
and Avant are both fugitives from
Justice, neither having served sin
gle day of his sentence, there seems
to be very little ground on which to
base a petition for pardon. To
those most familiar with the case,
one fact stands out clearly: If Avant
be guilty, so is Bigham; and if DR.
Bigham be turned loose, in common
Justice Avant should go free as well.

TITLES IN DENMARK.
There Are Nine Glasses of Rank, With
Innun1erabIe Subdivisions.

The Danish classification of rank
is a very elaborate one, built up Of
Offices, orders, birth and titles,
writes J. Brochner in ''Danish Life
In Town and Country" There are
nine classes, which ere divided into
as many as a dozen subsections, each
Of which may again comprise
score or two of different titles and
Offices, yet there was complaint in
one of the Danish papers that it was
anything but complete.
Holders Of titles have to pay an
annual tax ranging from $44.5O in
the first class to miserly 1888 in
the ninth. There are about score
of different titles, several of which
are again divided into "real" and
"others," the "real" being several
shades better than the "others."
These titles are always used in
conversation, as, for example, "Will
not the chamberlain have a cigar"
or "Mr. Chamberlain, will you not
have a cigar?". And it requires a
fairly clear head and a good men,
ory to give everybody his due in
large party, especially as some Of
them are decorously long, as, for
instance, Observation-Disclosures.
Then there are ladies, who gen.
orally have "inde" (the English
"ess') added to their husbands
title or office. A colonePs wife, for
instance, is called oberstinde, and
the wife of the chamberlain to the
king kammerherreinde, and so
forth.
But the subtleties of the addi-
tional titular address in writing
even excel the verbal form. That
persons of the first rank are "excel-
lencies" is only natural, but gentle
men of the second class have on
documents addressed to them
'high we'll born" pref1ed to their
title and name, and those of the
third class 'high and well born"
I much regret that I cannot explain
why the addition Of this "and"
should somewhat detract from the
value Of the same words.
Gentlemen of the ninth class are
addressed as "well honorable and
well Bred" which is, I think, almost
more than they could expect for
their $3.50.

SHE FOUGHT IN THE NAVY.
Louise Baker Served as q Marine On
the Old Constitution.

At least one woman has served in
the United States navy. But ac-
cording to Edgar Stanton Maclay,
writing in the Bluejacket, she has
the roll to herself. Her real name
was Louise Baker, and, having en-
listed as a marine, she served
throughout the war Of 1912 on the
famous frigate Constitution.
"For nearly three years" she
says, "I passed for and performed
the duties of a marine, during
which time I was in three severe
engagements and never absented
myself from my post in time Of dan
ger. l have, like others, Of the
ships crew, freely associated with
my shipmates both at sea and on
shore.
"And yet, as extraordinary as it
may appear, I have not the most
distant idea that a single soul on
board ever had the slightest sus-
picion of my sex. l have thorough
ly studied the memoirs of Miss De-
borah Sampson (who, disguised as
a man, served in the Continental
army during the Revolution with
out her identity being discovered),
and by strict adherence to the pre-
cautionary means by which she
was enabled to avoid an exposure of
her sex / also was enabled to con-
ceal mine"
The Constitution engaged in
three of the more important single
ship actions of the nineteenth CEN
tury, that with the Guerrero, the
Java and the double action with the
Cyane and Levant.
Speaking of the action with the
Guerrero Miss Baker says: II was
all this time in the top plying my
faithful musket with the best sue
cess whenever the smoke would per-
nit me to see bluejacket Of the
enemy. In the heat Of the action Il
grapeshot struck and splintered the
butt of my musket. 1t was noticed
by one of my comrades who stood
within a few feet of me, who, pat
ting me on the shoulder, exclaimed:
"Never mind it, George! You
have won. laurels sufficient to rec
ommend you to the pretty girls

If Attorney Fielder is suably

If Attorney Fielder is 'suably
solvent" as he claims to be, and
Governor Blease is innocent OF the
charges, as he claims to be, it seems
that the Governor has a chance to
recover more in libel suit than his
present office would pay in many a
year. The burden of proof rests on
Fielder, and the letters should speak
for themselves. For man whose
conscience is clear it looks like a
"cinch."

Harrison Gray Otis.

Gen. Harrison Gray otis, proprietor
of the Los Angeles Times. was born
near Marietta, Ohio, Feb. TO-, 1887. He
was reared on farm, attending the
common schools in winter until the
age of fourteen then learned the print

the civil war he enlisted as a private
i'm the Twelfth Ohio Infantry. He was
made a first lieutenant in 1868. The
next year he was transferred to the
Twenty third Ohio Infantry, and made
a captain July %, 1864. He was twice
wounded during the war and at the
close Of the conflict he was mustered
out with the rank of major. After the

STILL HOPEFUL
ABOUT CLOSING
CLERKS AND CARRIERS OF cALU.
MET PosToFFlcE BELIEVE
THE PETITION WILL BE
GRANTED.

Marked success has attained the
movement started by the clerks and
carriers of the Calumet postoffice to
bring about the closing Of that office
on Sunday. Almost $500 signatures
have already been secured, including
practically all of the businessmen Of
Calumet and it is believed that large
number of other cards will be sent in.
So hopeful are the clerks and carriers
of securing additional support that
they have ordered a large number of
extra cards so that everyone will have
a chance to sign.
The showing made I'm Calumet so
far compares very favorably with that
made in other cities of the upper PEN
insula where movements of this kind
have been inaugurated. 1000 more
signatures have already been secured
largest city in the upper peninsula,
when the petition was forwarded to
Washington, and it is said the Escan-
aba postoffice supplies almost as many
people as the Calumet post office.
The clerks and carriers of Calumet
have met the little opposition that ex-
listed at the start in a very reasonable
way and most of il has been with
drawn. The Sunday closing will apply
only to the distribution of mail from
the windows and will in no way affect
the outgoing mail if it is granted One
clerk and one carrier will work each
Sunday, the carrier collecting the out
going mail from the different boxes
and the clerk dispatching it and dis
tributing the incoming mail so that
there need be no congestion or delay
on Monday morning. AS il would take
considerably longer to accomplish this
work than when all of the clerks are
working, there would be no hope of
subscribers receiving their mail on
Sunday. Special delivery letters, how
ever, would be given the same prompt
attention as on week days.
The clerks and carriers feel that
they are entitled to one day of rest
per week and believe that they will re.
ceive enough support from the genera
public to warrant the postal depart.

Pretty fancy baskets are the newest
fad for the dressing table-baskets for
holding the comb and brush smaller
baskets for hairpins, baskets for veils'
collars handkerchiefs, neckties ana
iabots. These must conform In size
and colors to the needs of the dressing
table. Then there are baskets design
ed especially to hold the paper ana
other materials needed for the desk
appointments. OF course there must
be n convenient basket for the sewing
materials and perhaps a smaller one
containing the thread and needles nee
essary for the darning of gloves a
stocking basket has taken the place oil

good feature Of the basket fad is that
