Yes, | suppose 1t is as you say;

ful she is than any of them. When

not keep from remembering that it
is above her. If / could forget her
for only a day. for only an hour,

Pets and Broken Hearts.

The dog of Mistral, the Provencat
poet, died the day after MistTals re-
cent death. II Is a fairly common
thing for dogs. cats, canaries and 9th
er pets to die a few days or even
hours after their masters. But do they
die of grief? 1t is not likely.
a Manayunk physician examined
the corpse of canary that had sue
cumbed with its little mistress. The
canary's death, the examination
showed, was due not to a broken
heart, but to scarlet fever. the malady
to which its little mistress had herself
succumbed.
From this and from kindred post
mortems it is surmised that pets. when,
they die simultaneously with their
owners, have become infected with
the disease that carried their owners
otf-measles, diphtheria, typhoid. The
death-from-grief story is pretty, but,
alas, it won't wash.

Moreover. if congress passes the pend

they be rewarded and to this recital
the department added commendatory
paragraphs suited to the particular
cases.

A contributor to the American Mag

"A clerk in one of the great jewelry
stores on Fifth avenue in New York
city exhibited to a rich and weary
customer lady's handbag, five inches
square. made of platinum and fairly
we'll covered on one side only with
diamonds. The price was $1,000. The
fact that one side only was covered
with diamonds troubled the customer.
Turning the handbag around and
around, and looking at it from all
sides over and over, he finally said.
Very pretty-really. But / don't like
one side without diamonds. Honestly

The dominating instinct in man is
fear and this is why self-contempla-
ton is dangerous. There are many
store rooms in the basement of man S
consciousness, commonly known as
the sub-conscious mind, and in these
dark and forgotten corners many
strange things are stored, only wait
ing for the opportunity when they
may come forth to puzzle and con-
found us.
There is nothing mysterious or ter.
rible about the subconscious phenom-
ena if, with a full knowledge Of the
laws of the universe, of which we are
part, we frankly consider ourselves
a link in the chain of life extending
from an incomprehensibly remote past
to an equally incomprehensible and re-
mote future.
We deem it not at all strange, mere.
ly because we happen to be familiar
with the fact, that there are handed
down to US strong memories out of the
remote past in the form of striking re.
semblances to a grandparent, or to
a great-grandparent. or to one even
still more remote. All inherited traits
are but cell memories; then why
strange or mysterious that there should
be handed down to us in the same way
and from the same source out of that
misty past, dim memories, vague and
nebular. but none the less memories
of past long left behind in the ad
vancing consciousness Of the race?
In these latent impressions will be
found the key to the very pitiful truth
that the dominant impression in the
mind of man is that Of fear, and that
this is undoubtedly the source of those
so-called causeless terrors of early
childhood coming at period before
terror should be known, and in later
years coming TO US so furtiyely in the
night and in all weakened conditions
due to illness, to sudden surprise, OF
to relaxation from any cause, fear
impossible to overcome by any reason
ing because it was burned into our
sympathetic nervous systems back In
the past when devils lurked behind
every leaf and man was In constant
terror of the unknown.

Willie Richie Calls Off Bout With
Harlem Tommy Murphy.


that an agreement to fight stands for
something besides a promise to be
broken on his slightest whim.
Boxing is bigger than the light
weight champion. 1t made him, and
the fans support gave him his
money Now that he has the title,
also a large wad of coin, Richie by
his attitude gives the public and the
promoters a daily kick in the face.
He has now called off his fight with
Harlem Tommy Murphy on advice of
his physician, because of an injury
to his Achilles bone. From what we
know of mythology, this means there
is something wrong with Willie's
heel, but there is a faint suspicion
that his heart may be weak also.
Out on the coast they are not at all
sure that Ritchie is too badly injured
to fight, if he was sure of winning.
But Murphy is a tough nut. He is
deprived of chance he has been
aiming at for Is years, an opportun-
ity to battle for the championship.
Richie never was popular cham
pion, and the fans and promoters he
has been bamboozling have a weapon
with which to bring him to terms.

Tinker Declines the Brooklyn Bid
Ebbets Is Hopeful.


again Charles Ebhets, head of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, would undoubted-
ly be willing to wager large gobs of
coin on him and give odds on his
success.
Charles Holden is the most opti-
mistic guy who has ever busted into
the boundaries of our fair city. He
could even see hope in the trans
portation horror we have, which is
some forlorn hope, especially hope
for seat.
The foregoing is based on Mr.. Eb-
bets oratory following his meeting
with Joe Tinker here yesterday. For
about "a hours Tinker was supposed
to be the property of the Brooklyn
club. Then the general public was
staked to faint idea that he was
head of the Chicago Feds. That is
the impression we have been laboring
under.
But we're wrong. Charles Holden
himself says we have committed a
grevious error Tinker will be with
Brooklyn when the season opens.
All this in spite of the verbal jolt
Tinker handed the Brooklyn man
yesterday.
Ebbets came here to talk cash with
Tinker, something he should have
done long time ago. 1t might have
saved him trouble.
Ebbets asked Tinker if he had sign
ed Fed contract. Joe admitted that
he had, and seemed surprised that
Charles should be doubter
Would you consider terms with
the Brooklyn club?" asked Ebbets.
Tinker replied that he had some-
thing that looked pretty. good to him. >.
and that he was going to get HE, no
matter what happened.
That ended the interview.

said to be three hundred to three
hundred and fifty feet deep at this
place.
The well was a gusher, caused by
large quantity Of gas in the well,
and according to persons who saw it
brought in, was spouting oil two or
three times as high as tn ederrick.
No tank has been connected with the
