This state Of things has been va
riously interpreted. All agree that 1t
is a symptom Of advancing democracy,
ii Is a general leveling, some say level
ing up and some say leveling down.
Emel Faguet declares we are enter
ing into an epoch of commonplace
ness, that everybody and everything
is growing dull, drab, gray and cheap.
This is the prevalent note among the
literary smart set. o, woe, alas,
alack, and dear me! for that the pro-
letariat Is overflowing the world, the
dead level Of Socialistic ideas Is mani
fest, and the high school girl Is CIV
ing herself airs, just as though she
were not the daughter Of a Slav i'm
migrant. Even DR.. e. Benjamin
Andrews in a recent number of the
Journal Of Ethics shakes his head over
the pretty pass things are coming to
because intelligence is getting so base
ly common.
In the terse and vivid language Of
the street, this is "all bunk" The
hero is disappearing for the reason
that the people have discovered his
secret. He usually arises by the ig-
norance, gullibleness and conscious
impotence Of the people. Hence
among a popualce Where daily news
papers and monthly magazines are
read, where there Is free speech and
fluid social strata it is very hard
climbing for heroes.
The people are becoming conscious
of their own greatness. They are
realizing what are the stern require
ments of real greatness. There will
never be possible another Napoleon
or Hildebrand.
The modern brand Of great men Is
the kind that serves, not rules. The
modern reverence is touched by such
names as Pasteur, Metchnikof, Ed
ison, Burbank, Jane Addams and
Montessori.
Goethe's remark was: What es-
pecially impresses me Is the people,
great mass, a necessary, inevitable
existence"
And a recent historian has struck
the true note when he writes: Il
consider it proper to portray GEN.
tury not so much by enumeration Of
it's leading men as by an emphasizing
Of the anonymous currents from which
it has derived its characteristic
stamp"
The rise of the common people Is
very epochal thing, 1t is difficult
for the learned brain Of the literary
caste to adjust itself to it.-Dr. Frank
Crane.

Providing for Mother.-Oil had just
been struck on the rough quarter
section of Oklahoma farm land which
for ten years had yielded only scant
living for the rugged settler, his. wife
and their four boys, now just about
grown, says the Kansas City Journal.
While the mother busted herself
with the dinner for the drillers the
farmer and his sons stood near the
flowing well and indulged in dis
cussion as to how they should spend
their newly acquired wealth.

cago and Niagara Falls" the Oldest
boy declared.

and buggy Jason was Offering for two

In Up to His Ears.-A small negro
boy stood by the side of the road near
a river, standing on one foot, holding
his head on one side and pounding the
top of it with his hand.
What's the matter?" inquired the
traveller.
"Watah in nah ear" grinned the
boy.

cling man. ITO think I'd forgotten!

Was Enough Music There.-Pianos
on the installment principle was his
theme. You pay one-and-six week
and torture the neighbors.
AS he knocked gently at one door
he suddenly remembered he had been
there before and received a curt re-
fusal This time it was different.
"Oh. it's you again. is it?" asked
the housewife cordially. Come in'
won't you"
Full Of hope, he entered and fol-
lowed her down a dimly lighted hall.
She threw open a door and he walked
in, to hear the key click sharply In
the lock behind him.
He was locked in room with nye
children, all bowling, who beat even
their own records at the sight or
stranger,
And the woman resumed her wash
ing.
An hour later she came to his res
cue. 80.
"Now," she said sweetly, IF you
still think need more music In this
house I am ready to listen to you.
But he had gone before she had
finished.-New York Mail.

Paris paper sought the views of man
who had the reputation Of an expert on
the field of honor. He at once began
to rail at duels with pistols. He could
not bear even to speak Of them. The
fact was that he had once himself al
an encounter of that kind, received
ball In the shoulder.
Then you disapprove of them simply
because you were defeated?"

However, one day had to accompany

DANISH PANAMA MOSQUITOES.
Troublesome Insects No Longer Found
In Canal Zone.

In Canal Zone.
"One Of the most striking features
of the present condition of the Pana-
ma Canal Zone is the absence Of the
mosquitoes, which at the beginning Of
the work by the United States, were
a great menace to health" remarked
Capt A. B. Delaney, of New York, to
reporter of the Washington Post.
Before the United States took over
the canal 1 visited Panama and be-
came thoroughly informed about the
Panama mosquito. On a recent trip
there went into nearly every section
of the zone. in lowland, and upland
and throughout the rainy season, and
l failed to discover a single insect.
Il remember that on one occasion
my company sent me to Panama on
wrecking expedition. We had on
board our vessel a pet cat which had
been aboard the ship for long time.
She was just an ordinary ship cat
and knew all about f1eas. But when
we got to Panama the cat soon gave
evidence Of being uncomfortable. We
discovered that the mosquitoes were
annoying her. Finally in desperation
the cat jumped overheard and COM
mitted suicide to get rid Of the mos
quitoes. She simply could not stand
the Panama mosquitoes"

St. Sophia A Misnomer.-Some may
have wondered who was the st. Sophia
who gave her name to the great church
at Constantinople. says the London
Chronicle. 1t is not named after a saint
at all, its correct designation Agia
Sophia, meaning House of Divine
Wisdom" According to tradition an
angel inspired this name. Shortly after
the foundation of the church had been
laid by Justinian, a boy set to watch
the workmens tools was visited by a
celestial figure with wings reaching to
heaven. go and tell the emperor"

is to be named "The House of Divine

story, Justinian obeyed the angelic
