Medical authorities now claim that
writers cramp" and other similar
states of apparent muscular paralysis
are actually due, not to the tiring of
the muscles. but to brain fag. 1t ap
pears that the particulr part of the
brain which controls special combina
tions OF muscle action, such as the
movements of writing or the working
of a telegraph key, tends to become
more quickly exhausted in some indi'
viduals than in others. Such exhaus
tion leads to a state in which the brain
is actually unable to send out It's nee
essary messages to the hands and fin
gers to write, tap key, hold violin
bow, ETC. Furthermore. once the nerve
cells, the batteries" OF the brain. get
thoroughly run down 1t is not easy to
restore their energy. Heretofore II
has been supposed that all troubles OF
the kind were due simply to overtir.
ing of the muscles concerned.

Magee rushed to the platform. He
presented such an odd appearance
when he forged his way to the plat
form to place Mr.. Straus in nomi-
nation that the convention was ready
to laugh him off the stage. His speech
was not a very finished effort, either
and his delivery was so wild that it
aroused storms of laughter.
Magee concluded his speech with
the name of Straus.
Instantly the convention was in an
uproar. In a second a stampede was
on. Men and women were standing

Just when the bitterness between
the followers Of Controller Prender-
CAST and William H. Hotchkiss, rivals
for the gubernatorial nomination, was
SO intense as TO threaten the new
party with disruption, John G. Magee,
Of New York, known as "Suspender
jack" rushed to the platform and
stampeded the 5000 delegates for Mr..
Straus, whose nomination was unani-
nous and by accamation.
The convention hall was hot and
stuffy. For five hours the Prender-
CAST and Hotchkiss forces had been
engaged in an oratorical battle in the
effort to bring about the nomination
Of their favorite. Secretary George
Manchester had completed the role
Of counties in the call for nominating
speeches. Mr.. Prendergast had been
formally put in nomination by former
Assemblyman George A. Green Of
Kings. William 4. Chadbourne Of

That the modern desire is universal
among men OF deeds 10 make use OF
the pen has been demonstrated once
more by the volume published by the
heir 10 the German throne, entitled
From Ny Hunting Diary" who like his
illustrious father, is seeking literary
expression, and whose book is well
written and quite readable. In some
periods Of history the ability to per.
perform deeds generally was regarded
as absolutely exclusive OF the ability
to portrait them by rehearsal. says the
Washington Herald. Narrative skill
in medieval times OF romance even
was considered unmanly. Only trou.
badours, or court testers, were tellers
Of tales and singers of songs, knights
and squires devoting themselves TO the
more serious, at least more concrete,
business of love or war. But in all
periods of creative eras In history the
desire for literary expression has gone
hand in hand with action, one supple
menting the other. And today, In what
is the greatest OF all creative periods,
one of its most remarkable phases is
the vast output of the written word.
A universal consciousness is, alert to
hear and, to tell. AS never before the
doers of deeds also are the narrators
OF them.

Sad Story of Partisan Smart Set

Partisan society woman who, being ter
ribly pushed for a gown to wear at a
great occasion and being also in debt
to her dressmaker, sold seven gowns
for the price of one to Nine. ", who
is a shrewd dealer in CASTOR finery.
Among these gowns was one hardly
rumpled and which, though very mag
nificent. had evidently been worn at
most only once. This dress Nine. y.
sold as model to Nine. Y, who was
the society woman's dressmaker and
who had been obdurate about making
another thing for the poor little wo-
man without cash down.
When this model came the dress
maker saw chance for a big return

her customer and agreed to let her

very low figure, whereat the poor
little woman paid all the money she
had received for all her dresses, and

pressed and touched up.

self blue in the face, but she could not
say anything to protect herself with

old frock after all. having snapped all
her other gowns for the privilege.
