TIRED OF HIS PEEWIsHNEss
Millionaire Gently Reminded That He
Was Not Alone In Quest Of
the Missing Link.

A western millionaire Of the newly
rich" variety recently came to New
York and one of his first extravagant
purchases was pair of diamond
crusted cuff-links, for which he paid
$3.50.
But the pride OF possession lasted
only two days, for one of the links
became lost. High and low the mil
lionaire hunted for It, turning the
whole hotel upside down In the
search, but 1t was not recovered. But
he would not give up the search.
One evening week later, while CIV
ing dinner party to few friends
and business associates, he recounted
the circumstances of his loss and con-
cluded by saying:
"Confound It; | don't understand It..
Here I've spent a whole week hunt
ing for that there missing link, and
still. by crackey, | can't find it,"
'Oh, cheer up" advised one of the
men who was bored by the recital.
Charles Darwin spent whole life
time in the same quest, but he wasn't
half as peevish as you are!"

"Cinema."

The protest, against the popular pro-
nunclation of Cinema" is Just too
late. Mr.. Keble Howard has spelled 1t
"Sinnemer." and he Is so far right by
the ear of London listener. And Mr.
Filson Young has worked by the eye
and found that the correct pronuncia
ton should be indicated as "Kyneema,'
which-if we are able to talk Greek
is right. But unfortunately there is
no royal mint for words. and the new
thing is generally christened and nur-
tured and ennobled by the talk Of the
street. Any one may throw a new
word on the counter and say it as he
pleases. The street boy has triumphed
with his "Sinnemer. "-London Chron
