A Story About Eos'n.

The Cri de Paris tells ii most anus
ing story, II true, about ROdin and
some unnamed rich American woman
who had selected him to make a statue
Of herself, full length and so far as pos
sible a portrait She had posed ten
times In antique costume when Rodin
told her that he did not need her any
more and that he would finish the work
at his leisure. When the American
came again she found to her amaze
ment that the head of the statue bore
no resemblance whatever to her. She
complained bitterly that no one would
even recognize her. at is true" said
the great sculptor dreamily. "Your
head did not inspire me at all. At first
l thought would not put any head on
the statue, but after l had thought II
over carefully, in order not to offend
you put in place Of your face that Of
Nine. de Z. She had ordered hers of

There is no more valuable subordi-
nate than the man to whom you can
give a piece of work and then forget
about 1t, In the confident expectation
that the next time it is brought to your
attention 1t will come In the form of a
report that the thing has been done"
says Clifford Pinchot. when this mas
ter quality Is Joined to executive pow
er, loyalty and common sense, the result
is q man whom you can trust. On the
other hand, there is no greater nui-
sance to a man heavily burdened with
the direction of affairs than the weak
backed assistant who Is continually
trying to get his chief to do his work
for him, on the feeble plea that he
thought the chief would like to decide
this or that himself. The man to
whom an executive is most grateful,
the man whom he will work hardest
and value most, is the man who ac-
cepts responsibility willingly En-

lnhalinQ Spaghetti.

There is a popular belief to the effect
that the Neapolitan eats his spaghetti
by deft process Of wrapping thirty or
forty inches round the tines Of his fork
and then lifting It inboard, an ell at a
time. This is not correct The true
Neapolitan does not eat his spaghetti
at all; he inhales it He gathers up a
loose strand and starts 1t down his
throat He then respires from the dia-
phragm. and. like a troupe Of trained
anglewOrms. that entire mass Of spa
ghetti uncoils itself, gets up of the

Takino a Mean ADVANTAGES,

Once thrifty Scotch physician was
called to a case where woman had
dislocated her jaw. He very soon put
her right. The woman asked how much
was to pay. The doctor named his fee.
The patient thought 1t too much. He,
however, would not take less, and as
the woman refused to give him the fee
he began to yawn. Yawnlng, as every
one knows, is infectious. The young
woman In turn yawned. Her jaw
again went out of joint, and the doctor
triumphantly said, Now, until you
hand me over my fee your jaw can re-
main as 1t Is" Needless to say, the
money was promptly paid.

Observant visitors to Westminster alb
hey may have noticed In one of the
groups Of statuary near the north door
Of the edifice a remarkable arm on one
Of the figures. Not few people have
thought that It was an exaggerated
model or a limb. but as a matter Of
fact It was actually modelled from the
arm Of verger at the abbey, named
John Burton. who at one time was
champion prizenghter Of England
Burton was the deans verger, and on
one occasion he was asked II he would
like to be buried in the abbey. Burton
replied In the affirmative and also ask
ed that the fact that he was champion
prizefghter OF England should be In
scribed on his tomb To this the dean
actually consented, but when the time
came 1t was decided by the chapter
that the Inscription should be omitted.
Burton, however, was buried In the
abbey, although there Is nothing on
the tombstone to indicate who or what
he was.-LOndon Opinion.
