Mr.. Pulitzer has published something
like thirty-five songs. Many of them are
standard pieces, for which there Is a
constant sale. year after year, and he
derives a large income from them, much

said TO friends in Washington:

Theater-goers Club OF America. He is
a young man of varied interests and i'm

The Bridge of Arta.

From the London Chronicle.
It was by the bridge at Arta that
the Greeks on the west side entered
Turkey. 1.-The Bridge OF Arts" one OF
the most pathetic of Greek folk songs,
tells of the sacrifice OF human victim
at the building of a bridge to appease
its demon. In the version translated
by Mr.. ]. c. Lawrence sixty apprentices
and forty-five craftsmen have toiled
for three years at the bridge, and every
night their days work falls in ruin.
Then the demons voice bids them sac
rifice the master craftsman's wife as
she comes to supper. They induce her,
with the false story of ring to be
fshed Va to let herself be lowered,
and the husband himself hurls a stone
down upon her. She prays that the
bridge may ever tremble and all who
cross 1t fall as now she trembles and
her tresses fall; but Q reminder that
her brother may some day cross II
changes her prayer TO one that the
bridge and passengers may be as IRON
like as she now feels.

hined. Both qualities are necessary for
the man who il to wage active battle
against the powers that prey. He must
be clean Of life, SO THAT he can laugh
when his public or his private record
is searched; and yet being clean OF life
will not avail him II he is either foolish
or tinid. He must walk warily and
feariessly, and while he should never
brawl II he can avoid II, he must be
ready to hit hard IL the need arises.
Let him remember, by the way. that
the unforgivable crime Is soft hitting.
Do not hit at all 10 II can be avoided;
but never hit softly.
A Plan of Service.
Like most young men in politics, I
went through various oscillations Of feel
ing before ! found myself" At one
period I became SO impressed with the
virtue Of complete independence that
proceeded to act on each case purely as
personally viewed It. without paying
any heed 10 the principles and preju-
dices of others. The result was that I
speedily. and deservedly. lost all power
of accomplishing anything at all; and "
thereby learned the invaluable lesson
that in the practical activities of life no
man can render the highest service un-
less he can act in combination with his
fellows, which means a certain amount
of give-and-take between him and them.
Again, at one period began TO believe
that I had a future before me, and that
1t behooved me to be very far-sishted
ard scan each action carefully with a
view to its possible effect on that future.
This speedily made me useless to the
public and an object OF aversion to my
self: and then made up my mind that
/ would try not TO think OF the future at
all. but would proceed on the assump-
ton that each office I held would be the
last / ever should hold. and that I
would confine myself to trying to do my
work as well as possible while i held
that ONCE I found that for me sperson-
ally this was the only way In which
could either enjoy myself or render good
service to the country, and / never aft
erward deviated from this plan.
Getting Results.
As regards political advancement.
the bosses could, of course, do good
deal At that time the warning Stall
wart and Half-breed factions Of the
Republican party were supporting, re-
spectively, President Arthur and Sena-
tor Miller. Neither side cared for me.
The first year in the Legislature l rose
70 a position of leadership, so that in
the second year. when the Republicans
were in a minority, I received the MI
nority nomination for Speaker, al
though / was still the youngest man
in the House, being twenty-four years
old. The third year the Republicans
carried the Legislature. and the bosses
at once took a hand in the Speaker
ship contest. / made a stout night for
the nomination. but the bosses of the
two factions. the Stalwars and the
Half-breeds, combined and l was
beaten. / was much chagrined for tho
moment. But the fact that l had
fought hard and efficiently, even though
defeated, and tnat ! had made the fight
single with no machine back
of me, assured my standing as floor
leader. My defeat in the end materially
strengthened my position, and enabled
me to accomplish far more than l could

WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE

Smithville, Ind--SiX months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had few
red pimples CONF on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and a fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters, just
a small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much

which seemed to give relief for short

Swimming Iardinferes.

Our Oriental friends seem TO have
solved the problem Of the summer
storm and the porch plants by using
swinging jardinieres made Of split
bamboo ana plated grasses. We all
know the havoc wrought among our
beloved ferns by the sudden violent
bursts OF wind which come on hot
summer days and come, seemingly,
out of clear sky with scarcely a
moment in which 10 shelter the cher
ished pottsd plants: These jardinieres
OF split bamboo hanging from the
porch ROOF by strands of plated grass
just sway gently back and forth and
by so doing allow the plants 10 accom-
modate themselves more readily 20
the gusts Of wind. and so little dam
age results. Besides their usefulness,
the beauty of these swinging jardi-
nieres viii appeal to any woman who
has an eye for the artistic. They are
almost the last word for prettiness
for the porch fitted up with hanging
screens and furniture OF bamboo.
