Whistler Did Not Care.

One day the late James McNeil' Whistler, the famous artist, went into a London hat shop. He stood there bareheaded, as the clerk had taken his hat to another part of the shop to match it. As he leaned idly against the counter, a man rushed up to him took off his hat, thrust 1t into Whist ler's face. and exclaimed in anger Look here, I want you to understand that know something about hats. and insist that this hat doesn't fit mel"
 Whistler looked at the man with in terest; then he smiled politely. Please put the hat on" he said, and the angry man did so. Whistler looked him over critically from head to foot; then in his peculiar. drawling manner, he said:
 Quite right, quite right, sir, 1t doe. not fit. Neither does your coat; and Furthermore, your waistcoat Is toe large. and your trousers are horrible color"
 After Whistler went out, it took the proprietor half an hour to convince the man that 1t was not one of the clerks who had insulte, him. Youths Companion.

LEADERS ARE MEN OF ACTION
Having an Idea, They Have Impressed It on Their Fellows and the
 World Has Moved.

The nations are a series of short experiments. nation may disin- tegrate inside of century. It may flower inside of 30 years It would be possible that a middle western town like Cedar Rapids should tomorrow begin to put forth group of heroes, who should overrun the earth with the charm and vigor of their ideas. A sudden quickening, mind catching flame from mind. and once again you would have the miracle of Plato's Athens. of Elizabeth's London.
 If now and again some man had not decided to stop drifting and take hold of things and reshape them. there would have been no discovery. no invention, no art. He might have said, as many like to say: Why not let my big idea rest quietly? There is time enough in the long future Why be in hurry? Why so hot, lit- tie man? There is quiet sleep in the churchyard for the men that have gone before, and soon I too will be there" But, prevailing, he said:
 Now is the time, and the place is here to bring my idea to action. I insist on being heard. Here Is the plan We will not postpone 1t till next century. We will try 1t now"
 It is our business to make our ideas prevail. We are not to go si- lent, nor to retire from activity, be. lieving that our nation Is long-lived, and that our thought has an eternity in which to come to pass. We must speak up. We must strike early and strike hard. The time Is short It ia right to wish to get something done in our own lifetime.-Harper' 's Weekly.

A benevolent old lady in one of the streets which still retain the red brick houses of old-time New York looked out of her parlor window one day and saw a man walking up and down the sidewalk apparently in great dejection There was something pa. thetic and appealing in his manner; so she took dollar bill, put 1t in an envelope and wrote on the envelope, Never say die."
 She slipped out of the house ir the most casual manner she could assume and handed the envelope to the man as she passed him.
