ANY man on earth can be poet II
he tries." said a speaker at a BANKERS
banquet, and there never was bet
ter evidence than when the provost
Of Dundee died. 1t seems that the
provost had been fine man. His four
deputies mourned him greatly. and
after the funeral they all got together
and decided that they should write him
an epitaph.
ut was a hard matter to decide Just
how four men could write an epitaph,
but 1t was finally settled by the agree
ment that the Inscription should be q
verse Of four lines, each man to write
a line. And 30 they started The FIRST
man wrote his line. The second man
scratched his head and then added his
line to the FIRST. The third man thought
long, but finally got his inspiration and
put down his line. Then the fourth,
after much deliberation, made the final
rime, and the epitaph ran something
like this:
Hero lies the provost Of Dundee,
Here lies him, here lies he,
HallelujRh, ha1ieiujee,
A-B-C-D-E-F-GP"

Mental health passes into mental dis
ease most commonly in gradual way,
as light passes into darkness. There
is a mental twilight, a bOrderland In
which II Is impossible 10 say whether
the patient is mentally Ill or not. 1t is
always we for a man who undergoee
such changes mentally to consult his
doctor, and It is always well for the
doctor not to make too light Of such q
change because treatment Is usually
far more effectual in that borderland
stage than 1t is when the symptoms
have been fully developed. The best
test Of mental health is when a man
feels a conscious sense Of organic well
being, although many persons 20
through life with more or less of a
sense of I'll being all the time and are
not on that account to be regarded as
insane

The well known Paris theater man.
Ager Doiigny relates In his reminis.
cences an encounter he had with the
elder Dumas which furnishes an illus
tration Of the novelists witness. Do.
Iigny produced Dumas drama, "Kean, -
with the rather peculiar stipulation
that the author should receive one
third Of the gross receipts when these
exceeded 5000 francs and nsthing at
all IL they fell below that figure.
Dumas, who was always hard up, came
late one evening to get his share.
Luck is against you again." said the
manager. You don't get anything to-
night Here Is the account"
Dumas glanced at 1t and went away.
In few minutes he came back and
said:
Just look over the account again
and then pay me 1000 francs. The
ticket that ! just bought for 8 francs
brings the total up to 5000 francs and
80 confines"

Pricaa In the ranth Century


Money values In the tenth century
were very low, according to our ideas,
but as the purchasing power Of money
then equalled from eight to twenty
times what II is today one must not
hasten comparison. writes Charles
W. Hall In the National Magazine.
In Athelstane's time horse was worth
100 shlllings. an OK 30 pence. cow 20
pence, n sheep 5 pence. II hog pence,
a slave 20 shillings, making a slave
worth eight oxen. and these prices, ex-
cept in times of famine, appear to have
changed little under the Norman. In
1856 wheat sold at IS pence the quar-
ter of eight bushels, and In l243 II
brought only "a pence, but In 1924 seed
wheat sold at 3 shilllngs a bushel, bar
ley at 2 shiliings and oats at l shilling
per bushel

z. III. Sothern in an article in a mag
azine on the Bacon-Shakespeare con.
troversy gives the Baconians a sound
drubbing. Because Shakespeare spell

him as n barbarian" Here Is what
Mr.. Sothern says on the subject of the
spelling Of the name:
"This is one assertion that is not de.

Gladstono's Sians.

Gladstone was the inventor Of the
abbreviation for million which is much
used In England. Since I'm" was al
rendy reserved for thousand he made
a million sign out Of 1t by curling the
tail of the m over the body Of the
letter and once declared that posterity
might be more grateful to him for thi
than for his political work. He was
much addicted to labor saving device
and was proud of his system Of record
ing responses to invitations. When an
invitation was sent the name was
marked In his list with a minus sign.
In case Of acceptance another stroke
made 1t plus sign, while refusal was
marked with sign Of equality. A
circle about a plus sign showed that an
acceptance had been recalled.
