Humor proves to be the saving

What Did They Think He Went 10 the

An elderly, understood. old fashioned
man entered a fashionable New York
hotel one night late In the rush sea-

Have you got any sort of place you
could put me for the night?" he asked
in a rich brogue. Its tired am all

clerk, turning the book toward him.

and made a running hieroglyph on the
line underneath. which the clerk from
long practice was able to decipher as

position, took another brace between
the floor and the edge Of the counter

Important Papers That We're Stored

Within the walls of Buckingham pal

the "secret library" and in this are
stored documents and private letters

world would doubtless set the whole
universe talking.
From the very commencement of her
reign Queen Victoria assiduously
stored away in nice order all family
and other important papers. her only
assistant in this duty being a secre
tary, who entered her service within
fourteen years of her accession to the
throne and who retained his place un-
til her majesty's death. though he him.
self had NO access to nine-tenths Of
the papers which are docketed, the
late queen alone retaining the keys Of
the safes and cabinets in which her
''secret library" was contained.
Just before her death her majesty
added to the list of her papers a batch
Of letters Of the most private and con-
fdential kind. addressed by the late
prince consort to his brother, the Duke
Ernest Of Coburg. and it is a we'll as.
certained fact that when possible she
acquired every scrap written by her
late consort to his private friends. II
is said by those who are qualified to
surmise that the "secret library" not

You Wrote Years Ago.
There is nothing more interesting
than to come across Unexpectedly an
intimate and cosby letter that one
wrote oneself ten or fifteen years ago.
In reading such letter one Is looking
at oneself from the outside. The proc
ess Is a good deal like looking out of
the window and seeing oneself go past
in the crowd. The strange part of the
matter is that in reading such docu-
ment one is generally filed with sort
of pity for the fellow who wrote it.
He seems to have been rather uncer-
tain Of himself. He CROPPED for his
facts and his ideas. Evidently he did
not know much. He was merely an
imperfect adumbration of the admira-
BILE person who is now overlooking his
correspondence, eh? That is the first
impression. But presently one feels
differently about 1t. Those half baked
opinions may now have hardened into
dogmas. We may now be cocksure
of what once we only surmised- But
who Is SO hopelessly wrong as the
cocksure man? II the person one
was fifteen years ago could contem-
plate effectively the person one is
now perhaps he would pity the pur-
blind dogmatist more than we pity the
cropping experimentalist.- New York

ENGLAND'S GUINEA HABIT.
They Have No Such Coin There. Vet
Still They Use 1t.

They Have No such Com There, yer
Still They Use It.
Strangers in foreign countries al
ways find some difficulty in getting
used to the current coinage. In Eng
land they find themselves up against
quite a number of problems, not the
least of which is the guinea, and the
difficulty Is not lessened by the fact
that the guinea is practically obsolete
as a coin of the realm. The English
physicians fee is always calculated as
so many guineas, and the same thing
holds good at a sale of pictures or
whatnot at Christie's salesrooms.
The guinea is a gold coin current for
Fl shillings sterling. or about S.. but 1t
has not been coined since the issue Of
the sovereign in 1917.
The guinea habit has been defended
by some subtle dealers on the ground
that it obfuscates the foreign visitors
to British salesrooms." On the other
hand, those astute cambists have
been known to growl at a few thous-
and sterling added to the price of a
valuable picture by the adhesion to the
guinea style Of bidding. The story runs
that the guinea was so called from the
pieces struck from the bullion captured
by Sir Harry Holmes in 1865 from 160
Dutch sail in Schelling bay, the bullion
being from Guinea. But Shakespeare
has an earlier play on the word when
he mentions guinea hen" in "Othello''
as regards the auction usage OF the
guinea. There can be little doubt that
it Is survival of the times when the
extra shilling was treated as a five per
cont commission. payable by tho buyer.
Double commissions are. however, now
obsolete.-Chicago Record-Herald.

CREEPING CACTUS.
Curious Plants That Will Travoi
Across a Desert.

Curious Plants mat VIII iraNoi
. Across a Desert.
"The isolation of the desert 1owlands
of Lower California. combined with
Alterations of long continued droughts
and heavy rains, has resulted in the
development of the richest and most
extraordinary desert fora in the
world" says E. w. Nelson in the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine.
"Cactuses of many kinds abound,
varying from giants standing with
massive fluted trunks fifty to sixty
feet tall to little struggling stemmed
species too weak to hold themselves
upright. The fruit of many of these
cactuses is edible and much sought for
by birds and mammals. They were
once one of the main crops of the In
dams who lived in this arid region.
The cactus forests often form thorny
jungles through which It Is impossible
to pass.
AFTER months among these thorny
plants we supposed we had seen them
in all their eccentric variations Of
forms. One morning. however, while
crossing the Llano de Yrais, in front
of Magdalena bay, rode out from a
dense growth of bushes into an open
area and pulled up my horse in amaze
ment at sight Of the most extraordi-
binary Of them all. Before me was a
great bed OF the creeping devil cactus,
which appeared like a swarm Of gigan-
tic caterpillars creeping in all dircc-
lions. These plants actually travel
away from the common center OF the
group. and l saw many single sections
twenty or thirty yards away from the
others. The part of the stem resting
on the ground sends down rootlets,
and the older stems die in the rear at
about the same rate as they grow in
front, so they slowly move away from
the colony across the fats where they
live"

The Murray.

The innovation introduced by the
manager of the Murray this season in
changing the bill in the middle OF the
week is evidently meeting with ap-
prevail from the patrons of the vaude-
vile house.
A complete change of program will
be made tonight, presented first this
afternoon at the matinee. Some in
teresting acts will be seen and in more
variety than usual since, with the eli
mination of the moving pictures in this
theater, there are five full vaudeville
acts.
The character Of the bill the first
half of the week was high and one OF
the best ever presented In the Murray
and that for the latter part promises
to be up to the same standard.
