Aaron Burr, after his sensational
career following his duel with Alex
ander Hamilton, his retirement from
the Vice Presidency and his arrest
upon the charges of treason, settled
down to some ten or twelve years OF
quiet practise of the law in New York
large Offices. He was content with
deskroom in the offices Of one of the
leading law firms of the United States
between 1920 and 1885.
Samuel Hoff, now a prominent law
yer of New York State was a student
in the law offices of the firm Of which
Colonel William Jay is now the senior
member.
There was in the offices of this
firm said Mr.. Hoff to me recently,
"a desk which was looked upon as a
most interesting and memorable relic.
1t constantly revived traditions of
Aaron Burr, AT this desk was always
placed the law student who began
to read law with this firm, his prede-
cessor at the desk having been pro-
NOTED, as the expression was, to the
desk which indicated next higher
rank in the office.
ut was an old-fashioned desk of
kind similar to those which were
commonly used by lawyers before the
modern rolling-top desk with alum
dant pigeonholes had been invented.
There was "a lid which. when the desk
was opened, served as a convenient
shelf to write upon. The desk was
closed by lifting the lid and placing II
back in such manner as to enclose
the interior.
"The inside of this lid. or that face
of it which was exposed when anyone
was writing upon it, was literally
covered with names or initials. These
had been cut into the face of the lid
by those who were privileged TO use
the desk.
Some of these names were OF men
who afterward became distinguished
as American lawyers or in public life.
There was one name in particular
which was always looked upon with
great generation. 1t was that OF
Daniel Webster, and there was au-
thentic tradition that il was carved
into the lid by Webster himself sew
eral years after Aaron Burr's death.
I myself often saw the words Daniel
Webster somewhat deeply cut into
this lid

firm decided that he would take the
desk away and place it in his own
house so that he might show it as a
relic of Aaron Burrs last days as q
lawyer in New York city. Some part
of the desk was out of repair and the
lawyer sent for a man skilled in re-
pairing articles of furniture and told
him that he desired the desk to be
put into good shape, as he wanted to
keep IL as a relic. The furniture man
went to work. He repaired the desk
and he put on coat or two of var
nish. Then he called the lawyer into
the room so that he might show him
the repaired desk. When he opened
it and exposed the inner side of the
lid the lawyer exclaimed What have
you done with those names that vert
carved in this lid?
Why said the man, I thought
they were scratches that you wanted
removed, so ] took a chisel and cut
them all out. Now you have a
smooth surface.
My dear man, you have obliter-
ated Daniel Websters name. which
he put there himself. You have
wiped out the names of a score OF
more of men who have gained great
reputation. You have ruined the desk
in trying to make 1t new. | would
rather have had that lid without any
other part of the desk than the COM
plete desk restored as you have done
it. All that | can do now is to say
that this was once the desk of Aaron
Burr"

THE DIARY OF a BoNEHEAD

THE DIARY or 4 BoNEHEAD
There are other ways of flndinx
trouble than by being president OF
Mexico, believes your Uncle Dudley
who knows One of the best ways
is by getting up family picnic. We
got one up this year. We were the
angora of the occasion and the event
came off today
1t was an experiment, in the first
place We wanted to see just how
many of the relatives would speak to
one another. We found out.
Never again.
The next time we want to spend
pleasant day we are going to go
and hunt up some nice quiet boiler
shop where the hammering is not
so loud as it is at a family picnic
If we can't find a boiler shop we are
going to go and hunt up nice choice
Central American revolution and
spend the day on the battlefield. On
battlefield they don't shoot any
thing at you but bullets.
Relatives who don't like one another
are always nasty nice.
That's the way our picnic started
out. They were all so nice to one
another that they didn't act natural
and cloud about the size of a
womans tongue appeared on the
horizon On the way out 1t was the
calm before the storm and every
body made such point of being
polite that they made 1t absolutely
offensive. Every good word that
was said contained 10 per cent. sim
certify and 80 per cent. sarcasm ana
by the time we got to the picnic
grounds the cloud that had APP
peared on the horizon in the early
morning now enveloped the entire
heaven and there wasn't a bright
spot anywhere in the picnic party.
Every branch of our more or less
! illustrious family brought its own
| lunch basket and ate out of it, draw
| ing itself away from all of the
other branches of the family Thus,
when we sat down to dinner, our
family was scattered until it covered
| fifteen acres of ground
| The situation became so strained
at o'clock in the afternoon that
1.-TWO old maid aunts who had lived
together in harmony for forty years
| had a quarrel between themselves
and decided to build a two-foot par
| tition in their house.
| Personally. pleasant time was
| had. We pulled nine kids out OF the
river, sat down in a custard pie. ac-
ctimulated Il large population OF
| chiggers and walked four miles for
water which the relatives didn't dare
drink for fear it was poisoned.
| Never again. We are going to bury
these clothes and forget the incident
| If we can.
Relatives will happen in the best
of families, but if yo1 meet them in
a social way, 1t is your own fault.

Her first ambition was to become n
singer. but when. after a serious ILL
ness, she found that her singing voice
was gone she determined to become
an actress, and in spite of the fact
that she was decidedly lacking in
beauty and had a face and figure
more mannish than feminine, she be-
came one of the leading stars of her
day.
OF her Nancy Skies, Lawrence Bar
rett, the great actor said; but
most wonderful OF all was the death
scene. AS she painfully dragged her
self on the stage the effect WAS simply
intense in its realism. She kept her
face turned away from the audience.

her voice. as she called for Bill and
begged him to kiss her, produced a
feeling of chilly horror 1t was as if

the tribute which one of the greatest
actors of his generation paid to fell
low worker.
Once when Miss Cushman was play
ing Romeo to Mary Anderson's Juliet
some one of the audience sneezed IN
a derisiye manner Romeo at once
stopped the dialogue and with great
courtesy led Miss Anderson off the
stage Then she returned and said In
her mannish manner, Some man
must put that person out or ] shall
be obliged to do it myself" The un-
fortunate joker was taken away and
the audience rose in n body to APP
plaud Miss Cushman. She recalled
her companion and the play went OF
as il nothing had happened.

If you desire sympathy, earn IT, III
YOU don't earn it, all you get is pity,
and no sane man ever was
anything but fighting mad when
he became the. victim OF PITY.
1t is one superior persons most dell

other. Hate may be a compliment
Islander an honor, blow testlnloii-
iaI to the respect one bears another
strength. but pity is never anything
else than q recognition OF announcer ,

pity, but we never despise and sym
pathize.
sympathy presupposes some sore ol
equality 1t is the ground upon winch
kind meets kind in mutual help. ii
knows neither contempt nor disgust,
condescension nor patronizing, it Is
whole souled, free and untrammeleo
and it's quality is not strained II
goes where it is hidden. 1t is power
less to respond to the whine of the
beggar after heart aims.
Therefore. if you would that your
neighbor should sympathize with you
meet him on his own ground. He is
worth while or you would not desire
his friendship. Be worth while, too.
Command his admiration and his
heart and hand will be yours in your
hour of need. Quit yourself like
man and the sympathies of those
about you will surround you like in
cense. Give rather than ask and you
shall be of that company which knows
neither loneliness nor want. Bestow
richly of your time and talent in
human service and even those who
know you not shall send their need
of sympathy to sweeten your hours
of WEAKNESS and discouragement.
You must earn your way into the
hearts of your fellows, else they shall
have only pity for you. The more you
whine, the more poison there will be
IN that pity.

Lincoln Won by Score 3 to l.
Gear Saved Shutout.

Lincoln, Neb, April 30.-A ninth in
ming batting rally looked as though the
Topekans were going to beat out the
Antelopes yesterday afternoon in a
stellar pitching duel between Ehman
and Reynolds, after the KawS had re-
tired the Lincoln team in the eighth
on triple play, the second one this
season in the Western League. Never
theless Lincoln won by a score of 8 to
1.
McLarry opened up the ninth with Il
two base clOut that would have been
worth three had not a high wind been
blowing directly against the plate. He
went up peg when French grounded
out, and a moment later scored when
Collision, who had taken Barbour 5
place at third, heaved wildly in the
direction of first to catch Smith. Gear
followed with a single, after Smith
had been retired at second when Bill
ings grounded to Bowling. Lee pop
ped out to Bowling and cut short the
rally.
The triple play that the Topekans
pulled off was the feature of the con-
test. 1t came in the eighth. Carney,
first up, had hit for a pair of sacks,
and when he attempted to steal to
third, Billings pegged wildly in the
direction of Dulin, letting Carney reach
third and come home on the throw,
which went into deep left field. Ehman
going to second. On a sacrifice signal,
Mullen hunted a ball which went high,
and into Reynolds hands. He whirled
and threw to Rapps, who retired Lloyu,
and before Ehman could get back to
second pegged him out also.
The Topekans had one fine chance
to break into the run column in the
third inning. Reynolds led off with
long hit to left field, good for a pair
of sacks, and went to third on Lees
sacrifice Ehman frightened, however,
and Dulin and Forsythe were retired
on three strikes each. The kawS had
been left on bases during the first four
innings but did not have a good chance
to score until the ninth, when Nc
Larry finally completed the circuit.
The Lopes got their first score in
the opening round, on Mullen's double
and Cobb's single. In the sixth, Null
len was walked, and Cobb hit by a
pltched ball. Mullen went to third
when Mccormick grounded out to
Rapps and scored while Cole was be-
ing retired. The score:
