creat Men Who Drank.

Cato was a hard drinker, while, in the language of one writer. old Ben Jonson was constantly ''pickfed." The poet Savage used to go on the hardest kinds of tears" and Rogers observed after seeing his own statue, ''It is the first time l have seen him stand straight for many years" Byron says of Person, the great classical scholar, 'I can never recolIect him except as drunk or brutal and. generally both '' Keats was on a spree once that lasted six months.

Why lie Baked.

A young and husky college man who was travelling on a steamer across the Atlantic was asked to box five rounds with an equally husky chap, who was a fellow passenger, as part of a series of athletic games which were to be held for the amusement of the passen- gers. Next day the young man came to the chairman of the sports commit tee and asked that his name be with drawn Whats the matter? Are you afratd?'' said the chairman, somewhat piqued. You bet your life Pm sfraid,' ,'' said the collegian- That fellow you picked for my opponent sits at my ta- bic, and at dinner last night he leaned over to me and said, Whats this thing "demitasse'' see on the menu?' I knew right away that he was a rough guy who had lived ali his life in the open. If you want me to fight you've got to find a man that knows a demitasse when he sees it. .'' New York Tribune.

ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER
When Is Woman Forward? A Mar ital Complication-Resu of Wo- mans Speaking First.

have been wondering just how far woman can make advances to man. without being considered. for ward ,l have in ann mind "a a case ,ot fh1 V city every day in the same train Wltn a. married man, who lives a few doors from her aunt's home.
 One day she spoke to the man. ne replied, and every morning and even ing thereafter he talked to her. as they went back and forth. He never wife, but she was left only a few months in ignorance. Neighborss took it upon themselves to tell her of these meetings. She laughed off their 1n- nuendoes, but the hurt struck in, when she heard of the couples apparently pleasant and somewhat intimate rela- tions from everyone but her husband
 Finally, she asked him about the matter. He lightly pooh-poohed ltu said she was silly, and explained IL away by saying the woman had made the first advance, and he as a gentle man could not do other than respond to her He said he would never have
 Of course this sounded reasonable and the wife felt she had not shown herself sufficiently broad-minded ana yet she wasn't happy. The husband did not offer to introduce here to the widow. The latter made no attempt to secure acquaintance, which would have been a simple way of flushing up the scandal and natural thing when her near residence was considered:
 Every day some a11uston W1dened the rift Where before there had been complete confidence, there was now a shadoTvy something which seemed to be steadily driving them apart
 The husband was good man, al ways home Sundays and evenings, and an excellent provider. All this was in his favor but whenever he started away to business, the wife was won dering if he were helping the widow up the steps of the train, chatting on the cars, and walking with her to her destination.
 At the noon hour she conjured up ideas of their lunching together. she was miserably, wretchedly Jealous But what could the remedy be? Sne didn't want her husband to act afraid and snub the woman. She didn't want to have him put himself out by going to business by longer route, which would necessitate much earlier rising, but she did wish he wouldn't see that woman every day.
 eff she had been introduced wouldn't care bit, but there is some. thing clandestine and bold as well about her speaking to my husband, which puts a light on the acquaintance that I don't like"
 This was the wife's point of view What ought the husband/to do in this case? Snub the woman and please his wife, or defy the gossipe and please the woman?
 All this complication resulted from the defiance of conventionality by the woman's speaking first

LAWSON WITH
 PUJ0 IN FIGHT
 ON EXCHANGES
Believes Law Will be Adopted to Place Stock Concerns Under Absolute Control of Government

Boston, Dec. 6-within two years Congress will pass such law as that advocated yesterday in the statement made by Representative Arsene Pujo to the United Press, denying to stock exchanges all use of the mails unless they submit to almost absolute con- trol by the federal government, ac- cording to Thomas w. Lawson, Bos- ton financier.
 .'I believe the Pujo law will be | adopted said Lawson in an exclusive interview to the United Press. today. T think I am not presuning when say that it was my fight on the
 with this attitude and that I will be able to give much help to Congress In the passing of such legislation.
 fAs a. matter of fact, the slight re- vamping of the law which put the Louisiana State lottery out of business would do much to stamp out the pres ent~ pernicious activities of stock ex- changes. But do not think the leg tsat1on will stop there. I happen to know that a law has been prepared
 under the supervision of several Of the greatest constitutional lawyers in the country which will have the bite in it sent to tear from the stock ex- changes all pernicio1s gambling and through this control of the stock ex- changes prevent any possible high f. nance mantpulations of stock in any corporation, by, directors or officials which would descend to this method of freezing out small stockholders or who would adopt this manner of ab- saorbing complaining corporations have a copy of this law now. If President elect Wilson has not copy of it now he. soon will Nearly 75 Congressnaen and Senators have asked permission to father the law when the time comes for Its introduction, and I have not the slightest doubt that it will pass with few if any changes.
 Briefly, this law would give to the postmaster general the power to bar from the mails all stock exchange cor respondence, if the postmaster general decided the stock exchange were vio- lating it's terms It would then be
 up to the stock exchanges to present the burden of proof. It would, of course, mean debarring from the mails any newspaper which carried quota .tions of any stock exchange under the postal ban. Such procedure would mean quick death unless the stock ex- change came within the law

Roman Masons and Their Tools.

The excavations at Pompeii and Her. culaneum have unearthed masons' tools much resembling those in use today and demonstrated the freer use of large tiles, the employment of iron to tie together brick and stone work and the use of a kind of concrete of which lime was the binding medium and finely broken brick a favorite ma teria1.
