NO NEED TO WASTE MONEY
Fathers Common Sense Answer
Should Have Driven Nonsense
From the Mind of Son.

A certain well known actor-an es-
tablished star of the first magnitude,
in fact-has son who has always CIV
en- the father a great deal of trouble.
Despite his inherited talent, which
would insure him permanent employ
ment on the stage, the son shows .
fendness for living on the income OF
his parent. He can see no reason
why both of them should work.
One time the father got tired Of ad-
vancing money to the son. An es-
arrangement had been threatening for
long time. Finally, the father seal
ed the climax when, in response to q
written touch" for $50, he sent the
boy a s. note, with the added advice
that that was the last money he
should ever advance to him. To this
threat the son sent the following an
swer:
eff you do not send me the $50 re-
quested I'll use this S. in the purchase
of a revolver and blow nay brains out"
The father, in reply to this tragic
note, sent back this one:
81 have told you time and again that
you will have to quit wasting my mon
ey on useless luxuries. Don't spend
that S. for a revolver. Come up to
the house and I'll lend you mine"

Browning's Disappointment.

Robert B1owning's' great hopes for
his son were not fulfilled. One Of the
poets Disappointment was the rejec.
ton of a statue by pen" sent to the
academy In the SOS.
Though Pen Browning's statue was
rejected, two or three pictures paint
ed In Belgium, clever in hard, real
istic technique, but very far from
beautiful, were hung at the academy.
Browning was sensitively anxious
about the reputation of these works.
On one occasion, when he was show
ing his sons pictures on studio Sun.
day, he said to a friend who mentally
noted the saying with its rather
strained modesty: "You see, people
expect so much from him because he
had clever mother" One Of the pic
lures, by the way, represented an ex-
ceedingly large pig. There was no
kind of impression about it. 1t was a
pig seen through no temperament at
all.

RemarrIaqe In France.

The marriage or rather remarriage
statistics in the mairies Of Paris
made sad reading for the sentimental
lists. OF 2,270 disconsolate widowers
14S remarry within a year. The de-
fections increase with terrible rapid
ity in the second year, which sees 62S
relapses from the ranks Of mourners.
At the end Of the third year only
thirty-seven widowers remain. With
the widows it is even worse. None
remarry within the first year Of their
husbands decease, but 1t Is feared
that this is due not to fidelity but to
the strict legal veto which obtains IN
France. Once the laws delay Is at
an end they go off with vertiginous
rapidity. OF 1907 weeping widows In
eighteen months only four had NOS
exchanged their weeds for wedding
garments.

METHOD OF LOSING FRIENDS
Chronic GrumbIer Quickly Becomes
p. Known as a Person Whom 1t Is
Well to Avoid.

The chronic grunbler Is not good
companion nor in any way an admira-
BILE person.
We fly from her as from conta-
gious disease. Nothing so certainly
affects ones spirits as being in the
constant company of person who has
a grievance.
The cherishing of discomfort with
our circumstances, business, dress, or
any other thing in life soon robs US
of beauty and marks the countenance
with the lines of worry and Ill temper
that tell their own unhappy story.
Why anybody who is young should
indulge in grumbling as pastime ID
one of the puzzles that never are
solved, yet such people there are, ana
we meet them in our sorrow almoss
every day. =
If they happen to be passengers on
a railway train they pile their bags
and bundles on an extra seat for which
they have not paid, are conveniently
blind to the WEAKNESS Of other passen-
gers who are standing, and assume
the aspect Of martyrs when the con-
ductor courteously but peremptorlly
informs them that they must make
room.
On street car they object to having
the windows open, though the air may
be laden with impurities from the con-
gestion of the crowd; they scold and
fret at the throng or the conductor
and rail at Providence in general be-
cause everything in life is not ar:
ranged with view to their comfort.
Don't be a chronic grumbler. 1t
doesn't pay to waste ones precious
energies that way.-Exchange

Some Quaint Hotels.

The hotel that stands. out most
prominently insmy recollection Is one
in Iquique, where, even while you arr
sitting at the dining tables, vendors
come in from the streets to sell you
food. At this same hotel they have
two charges for baths-eight shillings
If you insist on clean water and. about
four shillings If you are willing to take
a second turn at the tub.
Another instance Of quaint hotel
is In the town of Africa, In Peru. Here
they are using at the present time the
hull Of an old American man-of-war,
which was taken inland by great IT,
dal wave many years ago and has
since been fitted up as hotel and is
in great Observation-Disclosures In

ARE ONLY WON BY PATIENCE
Things Best Worth Having In Life Be-
long to Those Who Can Walt
to Conquer.

It Is always costly to raise money
IN expectations. It Is the same with
many advantages we secure In life.
We saddle the future with the debts
If today, because we are too impa-
.ient to wait. It Is patience that
brings US whatever is best worth haV-
ing. Maturity and strength Of char
acter are won by waiting. They can
not be forced up In a day. 1t is the
mature man who comes and sees and
,onquers, because he has ripened and
be- is ready for action. The man who
fails Is almost always the man who
has not been patient. ~.
Yet 1t seems tame counsel to advise
people to wait. The young especially
are apt to think that they can go forth
and possess the world. They believe
In a sudden raid, quick seizing. They
think It both tedious and weak to de-
lay. They tell themselves that sue
cess Is for him who can grasp 1t. They
each for it too eagerly and fall heav-
ly to earth.
It Is never wise to envy another per-
son the things that are won easily. If
we covet anything at all, it should. be
those things that are won with slow
patience, fruits of ripe and mature
growth, fabrics raised carefully on
secure foundation. These. things,
though we may we'll covet them, are
the gifts that we may all win. They
may be difficult, but they are always
possible. Patience Is their condition,
and patience in proportion to their
value. Being worth much, they cost
much, and yet their price Is always
within our means.-Arthur s. Salmon.

TranspIanted Rubber Trees Thrive

TranspIanted Rubber Trees Thrive
Experiments covering number or
years in transplanting rubber trees
from the original stock seem now to
have justified the efforts Of the grow
ers. The former supply came almost
entirely from the district bordering
the Amazon and its feeders, but In
recent years transplanting has been
practiced on a rather large scale, the
original stock having been taken
from the old rubber districts ana
cultivated in portions Of Brazil remote
from the big river. One company,
during the last year, gathered 19S,75o
pounds Of rubber, compared with
41,983 pounds In 1910. The estimate
for the current year Is $4,000 pounds,
all of which comes from the interior,
far from the Amazon.-Popular Me-
