MIR. Harper told me that MIR. Co
nants disappearance was as complete
as though he had fallen unwitnessed
into a bottonIless pit. He left his
house one morning expecting TO go
TO the office. lie was never heard
from nor could the slightest trace
Of him be discovered even by the
most assiduous police work.
81 remember saying to Mr.. Harper
that the case was similar IN the dis
appearance feature of 1t to that of
John Lansing, who for years was
chancellor OF New York State and
one of it's great chancellors.
"I said to Mr. Harper that at one
time / had a chat with ThurloW
Weed. shortly after his return from
the mission to Europe, to which he
was appointed by President Lincoln
in the fall of 1861. In the course of
this conversation something was said
which led Mr.. Weed to speak Of the
disappearance Of Lansing. He said
that 1t was tragedy and II mystic
riousN tragedy which for some time
was a national topic.
Mr. Weed told me that he renem-
bered very well writing something
about the disappearance for his news
paper. the Albany Evening Journal
"I asked Mr. Weed to tell me what
he resollected Of the incident. He
said Chancellor Lansing was one Of
the greatest lawyers Of his kind in
the United States. lie became espe-
cially conspicuous at the time of the
adoption of the constitution of the
United States because Of his very
earnest efforts to prevent New York
state from ratifying the constitution.
and IL 1t had not been for Alexander
Hamilton he would have succeeded.
"'Now.' said Mr.. Weed. all that
is known of his disappearance is this.
He left his hotel In New York to walk

dock, expecting to post letter or

There is more than a little sense in
the old fable concerning Pandora and
the box. If there had been no in
tination of danger, the little lady's
curiosity wouldn't have got the best
If her 1t would have been a heap
better policy upon the part of the
custodians of the box to have applied
the vermifuge quietly and effectively
before calling Pannie's attention to
the fact that there were interesting
possibilities beneath the lid.
The world is full of Pandoras and
Pandora's boxes. We run across them
every day or two in religion, politics,
industry, art and science. Usually,
instead of disposing of the trouble
hives quietly, we go about uttering
warnings. The result is that some
body lifts the lid and there's the
dickens to pay.
If you wish to make somebody's
mental vagary seem sane, just talk
about it. You'll finally establish
following for it by telling your
neighbors how insane it is.
If you>would make vice as pleasing
as virtue, discuss it In mortified tones
at every possible opportunity. You'll
get the rest of us interested in some-
thing we had nevef given thought to
and we'll find out for ourselves,
Is there a dangerous political doc
trine that threatens to raise hob with
the hoi polIoi? Get out on the street
corner and damn it from Sacarapa
To Pot. Texas. and in due time the
dear public will rise up and embrace
it.
Business men know that it doesn't
make great deal Of difference what
you say about their business SO long
