PLAGIARISM.

Only Crime When One Fiiches From
the Commonplace.
Plagiarize all you please, provided
you steal from the right sources, for
the secret OF individuality is familiar
ity with the masters. The great gen.
fuses were meant to be objects of
plagiarism. To be plain. the more you
absorb of a first class mind the more
your own originality Is fed. Plagia-
rism is only crime when it is a
theft of commonplaces from mediocre
sources.

ness at the thought! At last l have
found my spirits mate; / now see that
all other loves Of my life were but
stupendous mistakes. Heavens! how
noble, how grand will you look as mis-
tress of my palace on the Tiber!

there, walking my marble halls in
your beauty"
Baron Strozzi raised the hand Of
his betrothed to his lips. 1t was not
hand to boast Of, being rather bony
and yellow, like the rest Of Miss Vann's
person; but the diamonds upon it
blazed like clustered fire. The two
lovers were seated in Charlotte Vann's
superb drawing-room, tete-a-tete.
Smiling and triumphant looked the bar
on, but rather more seedy In appear
ance than at the time Of Count StahPs
marriage. In truth, life had gone hard
with our noble Roman In the last two
years-ill luck had followed him ev-
erywhere but that was over now. Miss
Vann's unconditional surrender to his
fascinations might be called as neat a
favor of fortune as man Of his years
and experience had any right to ex-
pect.
"Fie, baron" SAID Charlotte Vann,
with a good -natured laugh, Il have
not the smallest claim to beauty, as
you know we'll. Let me tell you Sc

This and That.

bVuc dHo tHas
Contrast my services and work for
the party with Senator Martins. Last
summer at Baltimore led the South
Carolina delegation. South Carolina's 8
eighteen votes were cast first, last, and
all the time for Woodrow Wilson, while
Virginia, led by Martin, never did give
needed them.
In June, while the convention was
still balloting and the question as to
who would receive the nomination hung
in the balance, Mr.. Martin gave out an
interview and here is what he. had to
say about the political situation, and
his feelings and his advice to the Vir-
ginians as to what candidate they
ought to support. It speaks for itself,
too, and I have no comments to make:
"Virginians Support Oscar w. Under
wood-They VIII Vote for Him as
Long as He has Chance Of Nomina-
tion-Martin Is Strong for Him
Men from Old Dominion Will be
Classed Among the Conservatives.
1.-The great majority Of the Virginia
delegation said Senator Thomas 8.
Martin this afternoon, will, / am sure,
vote for Underwood. believe that af-
ter the first ballot the unit rule will be
jority. It ought to be. There Is every
reason why Underwood should be the
nominee; none why he should not be.
He Is a man Of pronounced ability, OF
clean life, Of unblemished record. He
has been highly successful as the party
leader in the house. Doubt as to his
availability because he Is southern
man Is heard only from our own peo-
pie. I have yet to hear Of such objec-
tion from the north.
"T hope all the Virginia delegates
will vote for Judge Parker for tenn
porary chairman. He has been always
q loyal party worker, and 1t would be
an outrage to defeat him merely on
the ipse dixit Of Mr.. Bryan, who
chooses to call him reactionary.
"'Of course, do not mean that Vir-
ginia should keep on voting for Under
wood II II turns out there Is no chance
for him. She would then go to some
one else, perhaps Clark, perhaps Har-
mon-to any one rather than to Wood
row Wilson, who has done nothing to
deserve party honors unless to help
wreck II in his own state"
Is there any progressiveness about
this?

MY Dear Senator: Brief absence
from my office and constant aborption
with the business connected with the
opening Of our legislative session here
have prevented my replying sooner to
your most interesting and important
letter Of the 21st. I want you to know
with what deep and genuine appre-
ciation have read IT. thank you for
1t very warmly, indeed. l,.
"Conidentially, the appropriations
committee Is the committee on which
you would have the hardest work, but
your letter convinced me that 1t Is also
the committee in which your interest
chiefly lies and where you can cer-
tainly be Of the greatest and most
constant service. .tica
Ever since was youngster ! have
been deeply interested in our methods
Of financial legislation. Ever since
then have insisted upon the absolute
necessity Of carefully considered and
wisely planned budget, and one Of the
objects shall have most In mind when
get to Washington will be conferences
with my legislative colleagues there
with a view to bringing some budget
system into existence. This business
Of building up the expenses Of the ma
ton, piece by piece, will certainly lead
US to error and perhaps embarrass-
ment.
II was very much pleased by your
reelection and shall look forward to
the greatest interest to being associat-
ed with you in counsel.
Again thanking you for your splen-
did letter,
