Among my friends is young wom-
al who is extremely pretty and very
clever, a generous SRI, lavish ith TIE
money she earns. cultured. well de-
Veloped woman, interested in other
people and in the big world. By all
appearances this girl ought to be ex-
tremely popular. And yet she is net.
On the contrary, her friends are few
Why is it? Well, it Is not because
there is anything lacking in the "por-
ringer of popularity" but because
there is too much of a certain thing in
it, for this girl is one of those people
who are SO thoroughly exacting that
other folks are afraid of them. She
wants everyone to measure up to an
impossible standard of culture, cloth
ing and character; and she condemns
condemnation. Naturally, many of us
common folks are self-conscious and
uncomfortable in her august presence
and consequently we do not seek her
company.
This girl is a type of people who
drive their friends away by asking too
much of them. There is such a thing
as asking too little of our friends; of
failing to encourage them to be their
best selves. Stevenson's ideal ito keep
my friends without capitulation"
paints a friendship in which each shall
encourage the other to reach his great
est height. But such encouragement
and stimulus is very different thing
from setting ones self up as a judge
to condemn others for failing to meas
ure up to an impossible standard of
excellence.
Then there is another kind of ex-
action which is equally deadly to
popularity, and that is the super-sen-
sitiveness of people who are always
complaining because their friends do

1t is said that Atticus, the Greek
philosopher, was once asked how he
answered: Because l never expect

cynical statement, but it is certainly
true that the person who expects too
much of those about him will receive
nothing.

house and a nominally Republican sem
ate hopeless, except as both may agree
upon measures known to be obnoxious
to the executive head of the nation and
sure to encounter his veto. OF this
class were the tariff bills upon which
much time was spent.
So the long session is ending with
very little accomplished. Attempts TIC
enact iIl-judged and pernicious laws
have failed, as in the effort to uproot
civil service reform by limiting the as
sured tenure of office for government
employees to seven years, and the Dem
ocratic leaders in the house of repre-
sentatives reluctantly and grudgingly
yielded to the demand for at least one
new battleship. Some important work
has been done in the wide field of in
vestigation of public questions. and an
effort has been made to settle the Pan
anna canal question along thoroughly
American lines, with proper safeguards
against railroad domination OF Ameri-
can traffic through the new waterway.
In the main, however, little can be
claimed for the congress just ended,
outside OF the usual routine work in
keeping the machinery of government
running and in striving to make real
reductions, some justified and others
dubious, in duties on imports. The
proportion of practical results to time
used and talk wasted has been dis
couraging to the country but not I'M
expected. From the beginning 1t was
foreseen that little could be accom-
plished with so much pulling at cross
purposes and so much politics in the
air.

QUAY Kissed PIatt.

It may be interesting, even if 1t does
not shake the faith of any of the de-
Iuded idolators of the leader of the
bull moose party, and in view of the
reference made by Mr.. Roosevelt TO
his selection as the Republican candi-
date for vice president in 1900, to re-
count a little incident of that period,
which we believe has not heretofore
been printed.
AS every one familiar with the sit
uation of 1900 knows, Platt and Quay
had trouble in making Hanna see the
wisdom of the Roosevelt nomination
for vice president, and poor old Platt,
who had suffered an injury or some
sort to one of his legs, had gone TO
bed in the Hotel Walton in this city
without having secured the consent TO
Hanna to help take Roosevelt out OF
the New York situation. Quay kept
on the job, and finally late at night
made the arrangement with Hanna
that insured the nomination OF Roose-
welt for vice president. AS soon as
Quay received the assurance from
Hanna his first thought was or Platt,
but he had trouble in finding the room
of the New York senator. Calling a
Philadelphia newspaper man, Quay
asked him to take him TO Platt s
room. Plat was in bed and appar-
entity asleep, as Quay pounded on his
door for some time before he got any
response. Finally the door opened
and the tall Plat, clad only in flow
ing white night gown, appeared. Quay
grabbed him and throwing both arms
about his neck, kissed him again and
again. exclaiming: Hanna has agreed
to iti'' Platt returned the embraces OF
Quay, although he did not reciprocate
the kisses. They soon recovered their
usual composure, and Quay loosed his
hold on the white-robed old man, who
then closed the door OF his room.

How Dynamite Explodes.

1t is the popular impression that
dynamite seeks the line of greatest
resistance. Place a quantity Of black
powder on a rock and light it with a
fuse. 1t will flash, simply scorching
the stone. Place piece of dynamite
on the same rock, and the rock will
be shattered. Hence the reasoning
that dynamite follows the line of
greatest resistance. Nothing could be
further from the truth, however. The
black powder takes fire and explodes
much more slowly than the dynamite,
so that the elastic air that incloses
it, as it does everything, gives way
gradually, and the force is lost in the
atmosphere. With dynamite the ex-
plosion has been SO sudden, the attack
on the air so instantaneous, that for
a fraction of second it actually re-
sists. The force of dynamite is so
tremendous that it cannot wait, and it
is turned into the rock, which. for
the instant, becomes the line of least
resistance. An illustration of this NAV
be seen during display of lightning.
fork of it strikes across the sky.
1t packs the air so densely that it can
no longer make rapid progress in that
direction, and it turns aside, to fol-
low the line of least resistance. 1t can
not wait for the 4air to yield. It is
the same with dynamite.-Harper'
Weekly.
