HAMPERED BY PAST ERRORS
Necessary Reforms Hard to Effect Be
cause Of the Mistakes Made
by Other Generations.
MithOut n.

Civilization often seems like an old
drunkard who Is forever taking one
more drink to work of the effects OF
previous drink. or like a chronic
debtor who is always borrowing upon
the future to refund the past. II never
seems to catch up with itself. to start
as freshly as 1t would like to. Be
cause their fathers fought. child en- are
taught to hate and when they grow
up they also fight, leaving to their
children new heritage of hate Be-
cause their fathers gave over a CONT
nent to aimless exploitation, the new
generation finds itself entangled in
network of law and tradition and
vested rights from which 1t cannot free
itself except by injuring those who
have done no wrong.
Because our ancestors lived in hud-
died cities we go on building upon mar
row and tortuous streets. sinking our
capital in mistakes which age makes
1t more and more difficult to retrieve.
The original cowpaths of Boston have
become picturesque slums which sup
port innocent ladies' and stife the
health and the happiness of other
peoples children. Attack these slums
and you attack helplessness itself; try
TO widen and ventilate, and you Will
md that you have struck at the secur-
ity of the innocent This is the real
strength OF the past and the over
whelming grip it has upon our lives
1t lives on, not because intelligence
can defend it. but because 1t has be-
come so intimate part OF us that
to cut 1t out seems little too cruel

ILLUSTRATES WITH LIVE MICE
up-to-Date Seller Of Traps Uses Novel
Means TO Get His Hearers Inter
ested In His Goods.

An ingenious method for exploiting
an invention is being used with sue
cess Dy Washington man. His in
vention is a mousetrap, a model of
which he takes along with him He
immediately interests his intended
customers by producing two live
white mice. which he sets down in
front OF the trap.
They promptly head for q passage
way at one end of the trap appar.
emily tempted by cheese contained be-
hind a grating inside. As they enter,
however. their weight springs a trap
door. closing the passage by which
they entered; the cheese proves to be
inaccessible. and in seeking to escape
they follow a passage leading up an
incline and ending with another trap
door. Presently they push open the
door and tumble down into a pail of
sawdust-their nest The opening Of
this second trap door by the mice re-
sets the trap by opening the first trap
door which had first shut on their
escape. The inventor then turns to
his interested audience and remarks:
Now gentlemen. II this pail had
been filled with water Instead OF saw
dust and set overnight. in the morning
you would find the mice trapped in II
and drowned. also have a larger
trap that works the same way, for
rats. How many traps can you use9 2"

A MOONLIGHT IDYL
BY MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD

Hans Breitung, fat, slow TO move,
a first-class musician but a better
gourmand, seated himself at the stern
of the excursion steamer Dryad with q
grunt of satisfaction.
He was glad to rest and to be away
from the noisy clatter Of band music

Hans was the violinist Of the excur-
sion boat band. At the picnic grounds
he and his fellow musician had dis
coursed varied melodious strains at In

after dark, the celebrants were too
tired out to dance. the instruments
were packed away. and. his cherished
violin in his lap, he settled himself to
take a nap after the arduous exertion
OF the day.
Alas for poor Hansl The camp
stool he sat in had not been made
to sustain the weight Of two hundred
and forty pounds ayoirdupois. The
rail against which it rested was fieI-
ible. The stool collapsed, Hans was
thrown under the rail. he rolled
SPLASH
The water choked him and prevent

OF the boat where he had sought So

went under the surface to come up
with the boat lights fading fast and
far.
Achi the instrument-my Ceremonial
was his first thought and he shot out q
hand to seize and stay his drifting vio-
lin case.
Its floating qualities might have
helped sustain him. His feet assisted.
He was too clumsily built for an ex-
pert swimmer, yet he managed to
keep afioat. Then hope shone in his
eyes. The bright moonlight showed

Trollope's Cigars.

Anthony Trollope prided himself on
having reduced the writing of novels
and good novels-to something like
a mechanical process. devotlng to the
work 81 many hours day and timing
himself to an output OF SO many words
an hour. His advice to the literary
aspirant was to glue himself to his
seat and write. but he himself had an.
other source of inspiration.
One wall of his library was devoted
to rows of little cupboards. or bins.
says the London Chronicle. each with
a separate glass door and filled with
cigars stacked across and across like
timber to allow free circulation Of air
A pointed stud in the wood above the
door indicated the bin In use. and as
soon as any one bin was emptied the
stud was removed to above the next
door and the empty receptacle reniled
from the big chests which Trollope
obtained straight from Havana.

1t was called haunted. Years agone.
the story ran, a young musician and
a virtuoso in the refined arts, had lived
in the select summer resort over the
mainland. He was a genius. he had
money. he was an idolized pet of So
ciety, but all soul and sentiment.
He had loved the fairest of the fair
among the aristocratic coterie. The
end was disappointment and heart
break. She had welded another. The
stricken lover had Immediately aban-
doned the social world He had pur-
chased the lonely isle. He had be-
come a recluse. Hans recalled warn
ing signs. forbidding trespassers, scat
tered over the little body of land. He
had been told that the exiled lover was
rarely seen. Perhaps he was dead
now. At all events, old settlers on the
mainland spoke gruesomely of the des-
olate island.
So Hans wondered, in his super
stitious way, II he had not jumped
from the frying pan into the fire. FL
nally he summoned up the courage to
advance farther to where the beach
melted into the green sward. He
tripped over what seemed to be a
taut string set low in the grass
Bang!
With a resonant yell Hans dropped
his violin and ran. He dashed wildly
through a nest OF underbrush. He was
out OF breath. frightened and weak.
He got into the middle OF a prickly
copse. The wiry thorns held him
prisoner He sank with a crash to
the ground and declined to keep up
the fight.

er, he would have come to a clearing
