HARLAN's WIT WITHOUT MALICE.

The late Justice Harlan's Ameri- canism Is well known. His love of English and his aversion to the use of any other language when the Eng fish tongue could be used was mani fected on occasion. At the White House one evening an American yo- calist rendered a series of selections in Italian, the justice sitting it out but showing his feelings on his coun- tenance. A friend inquired as he was leaving how he enjoyed the pro- gramme, to which Justice Harlan re- sponded:
 Not much; I couldn't understand what the fellow was driving at. It reminded me of one of Brewers dissenting opinions"
 Notwithstanding this thrust, be- tween the two justices there was al- ways close bond of affection.

THE SHOCKED APACHE.


 Miss Mary Garden, at tea at the Bellevue-Stratford, in hiladelphia, was talking about the freedom of the French stage.
 "Freedom has its advantages" she said, ''but it does, sometimes, in Paris, go too far.
 "One night at a boulevard thea ter, during a love scene that was ex- tremely free, an Apache called down to the heroine from the gall lery:
 " 'Mademoiselle, mademoiselle, are we supposed to hear all this?'"

RARE MINERALS IN DEMAND
Among Norway's Older Rocks Have Been Discovered Substances of
 Great Scientific Interest.

In various parts of Norway cop per is found and has been worked from time to time, but the deposits have thus far proved poor and lim- ited in extent. and none of the mines have been commercial successes. The same may be said of the few deposits of coal aud iron. It seems possible. however, says the Popular Science month T. that Norway may find an
 mlooked-for value in some of her deposits of minerals of rare elements. for which at any time there may be a great demand. Among her older rocks have already been discovered many minerals of great scientific in- terest, including Broeggerite, the most radioactive of known minerals. Nevertheless, it is to her unrivaled water-power that Norway must pri- marily look for her industrial dcvel- opment.

SHOULD BE ACCOMMODATING
What Are Neighbors for if They Can. not Help Each Other Out
 Occasionally!

Uncle Jabez and Aunt Becky Pitcher, an easy-going old couple, lived next door to Mrs. Perkins, a worthy soul, although a trife lax in small matters. Borrowing from each other was a daily custom of the two women, all borrowed articles being carefully returned-if con- venience permitted.
 One evening Uncle Jabez asked for his daily paper, the Spicerville Herald, which, although a morning paper, it was his habit to postpone reading until the days chores were done and he could settle down to his after-dinner leisure.
 "Hem. Lemme sec" pondered Aunt Becky, what did become of that paper? Oh, yes, I recollec'. 1 lent it to Susan Perkins this after noon. I'll run and get it."
 She returned soon, bearing pa- per-not, however, the Herald-and a message from Mrs. Perkins. "Su- san says, would you just as lives have yes'day evenings Times? Here 'tis. She says it's got nearly the same readin' in as the Herald, but it's narrower and don't fit her but'ry shelf half as good, and if you'd just as lives"
 Uncle Jabez looked a little doubt fully at the Times. Couldn't I read the Herald first" he suggested mildly, ''an' let her put it on her shelf afterwards, s'pose?"
 Aunt Becky looked uncomfortable. able. "WcIl-I s'pose you could," she hositated, "onlv Susan got it on the shelf now, with things settin' on it, and it'd be some trouble to take 'em off. Besides, she's scslloped it pretty deep, and the scallops cut ia.o some Of the readin' a good Geal-"

Former Congressman John H. Hendrick of Kentucky is notoriously soft-hearted, says the Rochester Herald, He was sitting in Ken lucky court room one day when 6 young and struggling member of the local bar, who was not especially re- nowned for mental briIhancy, under took to read a petition in a divorce suit and speedily got himself badly tangled up in a confused maze of legal phrases. The judge undertook to set the young lawyer right, hut the only result was to tangle him worse than ever. The judge was showing signs of losing his temper when Colonel Hendrick arose.

WHY HARLAN SMOKED STOGlE
Couldn't Afford High Priced Cigar and Couldn't Tell Difference Between
 Stogie and Expensive Smoke.

The humor of the late Justice Harlan of the United States Supreme court was sparkling and spontaneous. It came at unexpect- ed moments and apparently without reconciliation. His manner of speech at such times was often so serious and stern that additional spice was lent to what he said.
 "Do you smoke?" he asked a guest seated on the veranda of his house one day.
 To which the guest replied, "About twice year, MT. Justice"
 "Well, then, take a semi-annual with me-" suggested the justice, handing his guest a cigar-'that is, if you can stand a Pittsburg stogie.
 "I smoke these for two reasons" !" continued the justice. First, be- cause they are cheap-they cost me a cent and a half apiece and I can't afford higher priced cigar-and second, because l can't tell the diff ference between one of these and a more expensive smoke"

Advocates six-Year Term.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
1t Is not unlikely that some day we
will recognize the wisdom of a slx-year-
limited presidential term. With such a
law the country would have evrything to
gain and nothing to lose.
II would result in a happy medium
between two extremes. Six years would
give an opportunity to a President to
make good his administration and
complete as nearly as possible the work
he sets out to do.
With this limit there would be no
such thing as Federal patronage" as 1t
is applied to ambitious candidates. and
a tombstone would be erected over the
third term hogey." For President
that does things four years are not
enough. Eight years are apt to be too
many, especially with the "disadvan-
tage' of another election after four
years, when the President and thou
sands of his appointees are of necessity
taken from their duties to fight for the
reelection. A "six-year limit will give
n President an unmolested term, free
from the necessity of granting favor.
and with no other ambitions than TO
make his administration count for all 1t
is worth.
The six-year term should be agitated
and talked about until the nation, by its
understanding of its merits, shall de-
mand this important change. w. w.
