Advice to the

By Beatrice Fairfax.
HE WAS A SUMMER FLlRT

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Last summer | met a young man
at the seashore and we became very
friendly. | am very much in love
with him. and know my love was
returned while | was going with
him; but since | have returned to
the city | have not seen or heard
from him. feel very much broken
UP about it, as he said we would be
married this winter
HEARTBROkEN
Many men say things they do no,
mean when under the influence of the
sea and a summer moon. You are
victim of this mans midsummer fancy.
Forget HIM, as he has plainly forgotten
you, and never again take too seriously
the vows of a man you know so little
about.

Fight Against the Fly Wssed by the
American Civic Association.
The Importance OF combating the
ny nuisance is indicated by the fact
that the American Civic association,
which has for years been the principal
agency working, according 70 it's mot
to, "for a better and more beautiful
America" has during the last two
years added TO its activities (such as
the movements for the preservation OF
Niagara falls, the establishment OF
national parks and the elimination Of
the smoke and billboard nuisances) the
special work Of a ''hy fighting COM
mittee." in which It has enlisted the
cooperation Of a multitude OF health
boards. civic betterment societies and
public spirited individuals throughout
the country. The edutation Of the peo-
pie TO the dangers OF flies as feeders
on filth and disseminators Of disease
germs has been carried on, under the
auspices Of this association, with d
vtgor and success which can be paral-
leled only by the and-tubercuiosis
movement, backed by the Red Cross
society. Indeed. many Red Cross work.

A UNIQUE CARD INDEX.

How Grover Cleveland Got a Line on
All the Office Seekers.
Among the anecdotes of "Cleve-
lands FIRST election" related by Will
liam Gorham Rice. assistant private
secretary TO Cleveland as governor of
New York. in the Century is the fol-
lowing:
when Mr.. Cleveland began to con-
slider his cabinet and the other more
important appointments special letters
came TO him in great numbers. One
group of these was most curious. The
writer of them was a newspaper man
of high reputation and of wide &C.
Quaintance with Washington life. He
called on Mr.. Cleveland at Albany and
when he left stated he would send
from time to time information about
public men unsigned, but in his own
handwriting. Thereupon there began
to come a daily envelope containing
unsigned cards of convenient form for
filing. These cards treated of nearly
everybody proposed for the cabinet, Of
distinguished visitors announced In
the public press as on their way to AL
bany and of well known men generally
who might be commended for office
themselves or might ask office for 9th
ers. There was a separate card for
every person, and his good points were
written in red ink. while discreditable
facts and undesirable characteristics
appeared in black.
Thus each card embodied a concise
record of the deeds and a keen esti-
mate of the character and influence OF
the man named therein Giving as
! they did an incisive. impartial and,
believe, upon the, whole an accurate
analysis of those about whom they
were written. they presented a com
/ ment of unusual wit and wisdom upon
| American national politics. The point
| Of view was that of an experienced
/ and able observer of current events,
| and the whole record made a kind OF
/ judgment day book OF men of both par
/ ties conspicuous in national affairs-in
| civil life and in the army and navy.
1T can readily be imagined that moi
few visitors who came to see Mr.
/ Cleveland were surprised at the knowl
edge of the political affiliations OF
prominent men which was shown by
the unsophisticated president elect"

THE SOFT ANSWER.
General Scctt's Retort to His Whist
Partners Apology.

General Scett's Retort to His Whist
Partners Apology.
After his retirement General Scott
passed the summer OF 1862 at Cozzen's
hotel, West Point, where every even
ing a party of gentlemen adjourned TO
the generals sitting room for their
game. Being a good player, the host
was usually victorious, but if he and
his partner were ever beaten SCOTS
ire was made manifest.
One night it happened that the usual
party was missing. What was to be
done? The general must have his
whist. There happened to be staying
at the hotel judge, who was asked to
do the favor of taking the fourth hand.
With some protest on his part he
agreed to do it By cutting for part
ners the general and the judge played
together and were beaten-horribly
beaten.
Knowing how it irritated the gen
eraI to lose the game, the judge as he
rose from the table said in his most
dignifed and courtly way: Il formerly
played a fairly good game of whist
but have been out of practice so long
that l am somewhat rusty. l hope
that fact may be taken as an excuse
for my mistakes"
Whereupon the general arose with
equal dignity and retorted, II am glad

He changed religions as another man
would change from summer to winter
clothes. A writer on morality. his own
morals were unspeakable. He was ever
eager to receive aid; and still more
industrious in abusing benefactors. He
had q genius for philosophic writings
and a far greater genius for making
enemies. The kindest thing that can
be said about him personally is that he
was probably more or less insane
Here IS his story:
Rousseau was the son OF Swiss
matchmaker. His father in 1923, when
the lad was ten years old, became In
yolved in a street row and had to leave
his Geneva home, calmly deserving his
family. Jean Jacques was brought up
by his mothers relatives, who ap-
prenticed him at thirteen to a notary.
The boy and his master could not get
on together, so Jean was appTenticed
over again, this time to an engraver.
All his long life Rousseau quarreled
with everybody into whose society he
was thrown. He began with the en-
graver. At sixteen he Jumped" his
apprenticeship and ran away from
Geneva.
He then began a series Of wander
| ings which were more or less interest
ing, but scarcely profitable either 10

some rather doubtful adventures, and

was working there he stole a costly
