Johnny on the Spot Man

iroDl CollerS NeekiN
 Plugged by some. ceptripetal force to wherever there is a clash of human passions. he is always on the spot Unlike his brother, the novelist. who fashions out of the furnace of his mind at painstakins intervals come finely modelled bit af porcelain, the furnace ofs this mans soul is always at full draft. Into. il is flung day by day all the infialnmahle stun of life-the mixed ingredients of heroism, murder, revo- lution. passionate love, And steadily inexorably, it is poured out again, un- critical of itself, slag and ore, half half drivel and half literature. The recompense he works for is to have his fellow workers say Good story" His only critic is "the desk Today. yesterdays good story" is lighting the morning fire in d thousand tcne- ments. Anonymity. which guards him from self consciousness, stands also mockingly between him and fame. He snatches his Friendships like his meals, las stolSers must when the. Mauretanla is "out for record Yet there is no freemasonry like his. From behind the scenes he makes the puppets of the worlds stage dance for us. But We can suspect his smile, as he surveys our antics, to be something between pity and contempt

Poincaire to Teachers

The prime minister. M. Poincaire who presided at the annual dinner of the Paris branch of the Ligue de L'Enseig- ment, recently addressed the teachers present, spoke as follows:
 ''The citizens whom you train with sue cess are not the inhabitants of some ideal community severed from time and space and isolated in an ina aginary world. No, they are the Frenchmcn of today that is to say men belonging to d coun- try rich in centuries of memories. men who do not mean to abjure any of it's long and glorious history, and who at the same time. have the future in trust. Do you counsel them never to neglect the sacred duties of a modern community whose desires and efforts are devoted to developing the weallare of the people in freedom of labor and peace? But do you also remind them that no nation is the absolute master of events, that all nations are encompassed by rival interests and tliat those which are the most res- olutely pacific ought to be strong to be able to defend against all aggression, their material and their normal inher- itance."
 These words, which were spoken with some emphasis, were loudly sheered, and have various applications. including a hint to a number of teachers in ole mentary schools who have allowed them selves to be carried away by the pacflst propaganda of the socialists.
 Gambling in Paris The question of gambling in the casi- nos or French watering places has Of late seriously preoccuped the govern ment. Now it Is suggested that the state would do well to look nearer home. In Paris, itself during the last decade, there has been a steady increase in the number of "tripots," or gambling hells. An ex-official of the Prefecture of police has furnished a French journal with. much interesting and disqueting informa- tion on this subject information which his late position particularly qualities him to afford According to him, the gambling establishments of Paris fall readily into three classes. First there is tho accredited 'cercle,H or club III which certain amount Of decorous gambling goes on. Then there is a sec ond class. in which "the plays the thing Still, the legal formalities are observed. and, as a general rule, the gambler gets fair run for his money.
 With the third category, that of the "tripots,' we drop into a strange and very shady underworld, for the tripot opens it's catholic doors to both sexes and to all classes Monde and Geni- monde rub shoulders. the hero and his valet. the banker and his clerk, 1000 franc notes and five franc pieces rest demo- craticaily on the same green rectangic. and the worst of il all is that the play is not straight. The 'trpot" flames its blaring chandeliers in, the boulevards and the vicinity of the Etoile. That is the extraordinary thing about it-the entire lack of reticence and ordinary precau- ton.

 In ancient Greece the trousseaux were made by all the women of the bride s house.

Marital Happiness

From Los Angeles Dispatch to New
 York World.
 There is not perfectly mated cou- pie on the earth.
 The marriage laws are wrong be- cause evil is at the bottom of them. but they are the best that can be hal under the present condition of society.
 Perfectly martial happiness is -ap- preached closer by those who marry'in the sunset of life than. by those. who marry young.
 What we call married happiness is simply ignorance of something greater"
 These are a. few oa the beliefs on marriage presented bS pr. James Me- Lean. an S2-year- -old bridegroom. who is living with his 72-year-old bride. Mclean was married in this city last Monday, after q courtship lasting sev eral months. Both had been married before.

Monopoly in Wall Street

Some 95 years ago the late Russell Sage advised a young man in this city whom 1 knew very well and who had saved a few thousand dollars to invest them in Standard oil shares. He did so and he has, since seen those shares rise to six times the price he paid for them.
 meanwhile receiving generous dividends
 II is mistake to believe that these great industrial and railway corporations are exclusive monopolies in which no one can participate. Anyone wEo has money to invest can buy an interest in them. Millions of careful and prudent working people have some of their sav-
 ngs in the railway and industrial cor porations of the country as well as in mortgages on farm and city real estate.

Ky PAUL NLLIERs

Paris. December 21-(Speeial.) The Paris police seem to have discovered a connection between the baekmailing threats mailed to President-eleet Wilson and the terrible Chardon murder mystery which has absorbed the morbid interest of Parisians and French people generally, for several weeks It is the theory of the head of the Surete that q murder trust is at work, blackmailing the rich and distinguished and dealing ont death, where life ransom is not forthcoming. The headquarters Of this terrible organi- zation is believed to be in London, but the more active branches are located in Paris and New York. A notorious French swell mobsman"-a sort of Arsene Lupin in the hesh-is mentioned as the head of the international murder trust.
 The Chardon' mystery is no nearer so- lution than is was two weeks ago.. when on the railway line between tie stations of Arc-et-Senans and Mouchard. some dis tance beyond Diion was found. terribly mutilated by passing train the dead body of M. Edmond Chardon, a well hllONH alt PuDiialNi Ol I diASs ANtttt IiAo body was picked up an empty purse, Il blood stained 50 franc note and bunch of keys; but neither poeletbook nor watch Circumstances point to q crime rather than suicide. M. Chardon was young, healthy and rich. On the day be- fore his death he appeared at the office In the morning and only left it at o'clock. He said nothing of a projected absence to his partner, M. Picard, al- though he must have gone striaght from the establishment of the Rue Oberkamp to the Care de Lyon.
 Wife's Statement
 What was the meaning of this myster lous journey, made by a man who seldom quilted Paris even for a day? That is a question which his partner cannot an- swer. Madame Chardon, however. has made a statement to which the police at tach the utmost importance.
