cial circles, but also with the general
public 1t is believed that this action
will serve to clear up doubt at Athens
and that the Greek government will be
influenced by the evidence that Italy
is acting in concert with the other
entente powers.
The Idea Nazionale says that war
upon Bulgaria by Italy was necessary
and inevitable. The Gionale d'Italia
also approves the governments action,
saying:
italian public opinion will receive
the declaration of war with lively sat
isfaction, though deplOring the blind
policy of the German seizure of Bull
garia, who forced into irrepara BILE ruin
for whom we have always maintained
a most cordial friendship"
The field forces Of the Italian army
are to be increased again. A few hours
after war was declared on Bulgaria

cOlors the first and second categories

Rula. Of the Game.

Industrial success is personal. not SO.
cial. Society is not holding man
down; the existing social system is not
keeping men at the bottom; it is their
own personal deficiencies that keep
them there. Industrial success can be
won at price, and the price is OBJ
servance of the inevitable rules Of the
game-namely, sobriety, industry, saw
ing, avoidance of speculation. knowl-
edge Of human nature, good judgment,
common sense, persistence, Intelligence
and integrity. No social system ever
keeps a map down who has these quail
tiles. Is 1t not the best thing for the
world to find out that industrial sue
cess can be won only by the display
of these qualities?-J. Laurence Laugh
lin in Atlantic Monthly. a4

DEFIED THE AUDIENCE.
Then the Audience Forced Adelaide
Nelson to Surrender.


Nelson to Surrender.
In Forty Years On the Stage" the
author, John H. Barnes, an old time
actor, has this to say Of Adelaide Neil
son, the once famous star:
lone quite extraordinary gift she
had-namely, that of tears. At any
given moment or cue she could make
the tears mount to her eyes and even
run down her cheeks irrespective Of
anything she was feeling at the time.
1t almost resembled the turning on of
a tap. Undoubtedly she had great
beauty-wonderfu eyes and an ex-
pressive mouth, fine coloring of com.
plexion and hair and rather spare
figure.
'Her appearance suggested a WON
an of Spanish or Italian type. AS a
matter of fact she was born of humble
parents in village in Yorkshire in
1S4S, and her real name was Elizabeth
Ann Brown. In her youth she was by
turns a mill hand at Guiseley (Yorks).
a nursemaid and barmaid, SO the
strenuous life she must have led to
raise herself to the position she even
tually attained may be imagined"
An example of the temper that some
times flared from behind the Nelson
beauty is included in this passage:
"a curious incident occurred in Bal
timore The play was AS You Like
It. Mines Levick played Jacques and
had spoken the Seven Ages speech
very finely. gaining tremendous ap-
plause at the end. Miss Nelson (as
far as 1 know without intent) said. Go
on, go on and the scene was taken up
before the applause died down.
"The audience got annoyed and
seemed to feel that it was being treat
ed scurvily and kept up the applause
in manner which stopped the play.
Miss Nelson ordered the curtain to be
rung down. and then the storm burst
out. It became battle royal between
her and the audience. who simply de-
clined to listen to word until Mr..
Levick had repeated the speech. A
silly scene. which might have been
avoided, but became an absolute dead
lock, out of which there was only one
way. The audience was master Of the
situation

Babies In Samoa.

Samoan babies can give points to
Europeans apparently. According to
A. s. Middleton in "Sailor and Beach
comber," they are much prettier and
very intelligent. Moreover:
They can swim at three months ohl ;
talk, run and sing at year old, and II
Samoan had child that sucked q
dummy presumably a comforter at
six years old and walled driveling
along in its pram at an advanced age,
rs the children of the wealthy class Of
England do. they would look upon 1t
as q great curio and smother it for

WEIGH THEIR HATS.

A Fad Of Pussy Men Who Are cranks
In the Matter Of Hsadwsar.
In the back part of Broadway hat
ter's store there is a pair Of scales that
are used only in the case Of particular
demands by particular customers. AS
general thing you don't look for
scales in hatter's, and the proprietor
explained his reason for having them
in this way:
you will often find very fussy men
when it comes to buying q hat. With
them the weight Of headgear is of
prime importance. An ounce more or
less gives them the hdgets when they
have made q rule of life to wear only
such and such weights on their heads.
So keep the scales to convince them.
It il well that do. It has settled
many an argument with a crouch and
sold me many a hat
you may call them queer for want
ing the exact weight they call for or
within and not over that weight; but,
come to think it over, they are not any
queerer than the men who rush in here
at the beginning Of summer demand
ing summer headgear because they
simply can't endure their heavy winter
hats any longer.
"Well, they buy a straw and go away
perfectly satisfied they are prepared for
summer heat. And the hat they buy?
Why, by. actual weight on these very
scales 1t often weighs two to four
ounces more than the winter hat they
have been wearing. One of our good
customers has regularly shifted from a
twelve ounce winter SLOUGH to a fifteen
ounce summer straw and has been
happy in the change"
It is q fact, however, that thousands
Of men know the truth of what the
Broadway halter says. but still buy
heavy straws.-New York Sun.
