PLAGIARISM.
Only Crime When One Filehes From
the Commonplace.

Only Crime When One Filehes From
the Commonplace.
Plagiarize all you please, provided
you steal from the right sources, for
the secret of individuality is familiar
fly with the masters. The great gen-
fuses were meant to be objects of
plagiarism. To be plain, the more you
absorb of first class mind the more
your own originality is fed. Plagia-
rism is only crime when 1t is a
theft Of commonpaces from mediocre
sources.
Let the young musician soak full of
Beethoven, Wagner, Mozart and Men
delssohn. That is the surest way for
him to find himself. To absorb comic
opera music is the way to smother,
lose and kill himself.
Let the young preacher preach Bush
nell, Robertson and Brooks. So doing,
he will come to preaching himself.
AS for writer's, there is truth In the
advice given by great man that the
best way to acquire good style is 10
read Addison and exercise oneself In
endeavoring to rewrite him.
You cannot plagiarize the Bible, nor
Shakespeare, nor Homer, nor Dante,
nor Milton These have ceased to be
men; they are humanity. You can
plagiarize Shaw, or Brete Harte. or the
last "best seller"
To isolate oneself from the mas
tiers is not the road to originality; 1t
is the road to vulgarity.

stage of the Auditorium theater. He
was disturbed by the whstling of AL
bert Burridge, the well known scene
painter, who was at work In the loft
above the stage. A few minutes later
Mr., Thomas librarian appeared on the
bridge" where Mr. Burridge, merrily
whistling, was at work.
"Mr. Thomas compliments" said the
librarian, "and he requests me to state
that II Mr.. Burridge wishes to whistle
he will be glad to discontinue his re-

Curious Customs That Used to Be OBJ.

Curious Customs That Used to Be OBJ.
served In England.
Superstition never clustered round
any episode Of life more than that Of
the wedding day, especially in olden
times
Then it was customary for the bride
to present her future husband with a
bunch of rosemary tied up with rib
bons on his first appearance on the
wedding morning. This was supposed
to secure his love and loyalty and to
make her happy forever
In Yorkshire the old superstition still
abounds that nothing more unlucky
could happen than for newly made
bride to leave the church by different
door from that by which she entered.
Another quaint custom, for which
there Is no known origin, Is that prac-
tised In some of the midland and
northern counties of England. This Is
to ring merry peal Of the church
bells at the first reading Of the banns
of an intending matrimonial couple. 1t
Is called the spur peal" which In old
Anglo-Saxon means simply "ask.'
OF course it is we'll known that 1t Is
the height Of luck for bride to be to
dream of fairies the night before the
actual ceremony. So much was this
idea believed in that many girls would
peruse fairy tales before going to
sleep.-London Telegraph

NO NAME FOR A POET.

Miller Was Open to Conviction and
Shed the Heavy Burden.
"Cincinnatus Heine" was the name
that the parents of Joaquin Miller be-
slowed on him at his christening. How
the poet came to adopt the name
Joaquin under which he is uniyer-
sally known, was told by Mr. Charles
Phillips, editor of the San Francisco
Monitor. Miss Ina Coobrith, Of whom
he speaks. is the California poetess
who has been called the "Sappho Of
the west"
In 1870, when he came down from
Oregon and published his first little
book of poems, entitled Joaquin ct
al" he told Miss Coolbrith Of his de-
termination to go to London and win
fame.
"How in the world" she asked him,
do you expect to climb Parnassus
with such a name as you have? Mil
Ter Is bad enough, but Cincinnatus
Heine is imposslblew
"But what can do?" Miller asked.
tits my name, Isn't itY
"Why don't you take some name
that will Identify you with Califor-
nia?" Miss Coolbrith rejoined. "Take
the name of your first book; call your
self Joaquin"
"By George, I'll do it" said Miller.
And from that day ne signed himself
Joaquin Miller"

ls Fact He Had to Have It and For q
Very Good Reason.
Tody Hamilton had an experience
with an editor Of a weekly paper in
Michigan when he was general press
representative with the Barnum &
Bailey show that gave him n new view
of finance.
The big show was billed to appear
at Owosso, Mich, and the contract
agent with the No. / advertising car
had failed to come to terms with the
editor Of weekly at little junction
point twenty miles distant Hamilton
went to the little town, sought out the
editor and prepared copy for double
column advertisement.
'I'll give you $40 and twenty tickets
for two weeks service In your paper,
two columns, mostly cuts." said Ham
ilton to the editor
"Oh, no, you won't! You'll give me
$63 or the advertisement won't 60"
replied the editor coolly.
"Sixty-three dollars! Great ScottP
roared Hamilton. THAT'S more than
your internal paper is worth. l never
give more than $40 and twenty tickets
for our stuff in any country weekly.
Man, you're crazy, stark madw
All efforts at persuasion failed. The
editor remained obdurate. 1t was $63
or nothing. Finally in despair Hamil-
ton exclaimed:
"Why do you make it $63? You
might as well make 1t $163. It's just
as unreasonable"
"I'll tell you, friend" replied the edi-
tor calmly. II have note coming
due shortly for just that amount, and
you have got to pay it."
Hamilton did, for he needed the ad-
vertising in that particular weekly, and
the editor knew it.-New York Sun.

Prehistoric Man In BeIqium.

Prehistoric man has been traced In
several periods In Belgium, and NJ.
Putot, Belgian geogogist. has made
novel attempt to estimate the popu-
lation at different stages. In the lower
Aurignacian period five of Belgium's
numerous caves seem to have been in
habited, their capacity being fifty to
sixty persons, In the Magdalenean
period the population was probably
sixty. Retreat Of the ice permitted
leaving the shelters at the close of
this period, and the settlers on the
banks of the lakes may soon have
numbered 100 or l50 The coming of
the Cervides forests perhaps developed
population of 1000, which may have
increased to 1000 or 5000 at the be-
ginning Of the polished stone age

Taking of depositions for use in

against the Bell Telephone companies
of the Pacific states to force the de-
fendant cor por ations to sell competing
systems they have absorbed has begun
at Seattle. Maybe this explains the
action of the company in publishing
attractive advertisements setting forth
the relative increase In the high cost
