CHECK NEEDED TOUCHING UP
Bank Cashier Handled the Subject
Diplomatically, But Sensitive Mr..
Brushly Was Annoyed.

This check of yours" said the
large-hearted cashier to Brushly. the
impressionist painter, "is drawn ex-
ceedingly well. and in composition
seems to be pretty nearly perfect; but
1t lacks background. Mr.. Brushly. But
for that II would be a work of art.
Your foreground is charming, but just
q trifle too-well, shall we say too
fanciful?"
Il don't know what you are driving
at" growled Brushly. II suppose you
know what you mean, however. What
kind of background would you sug-
gest?"
CASH" said the scashier. "A work
of art like this. calling for the pay
ment of $50, is not wholly convincing
with sketchy little overdraft OF $2.S9
OIL deposit to provide the necessary
contrasts in light and shade and to
give the thing what we might call
balance"
Whereupon Brushly, like the self
respecting man he was, snapped his
fingers under the impudent fellows
nose and transferred his overdraft to
the trust company across the street.

Machine sIays by Wireless.

An electrical machine invented by
st. Paul man may be used by Ger.
many in killing enemies with wireless,
according to st. Paul dispatch to the
Philadelphia Record. The machine
was first developed to kill rabbits in
North Dakota. Charles F, Billows,
aided by electricians, perfected the
machine, which flashed rabbits and
dogs to death at distance Of 107
feet. Electricity for experiments was
obtained from Thomas street trolley
wire.
When the present war broke out the
inventor realized its possibilities. Eng.
lish and French officers were sounded
as to its availability, but they refused.
The machine then was turned over to
Germany, where 1t was accepted for
experimentation.
II believe II was used In the present
Russian campaign" said Billows. THE
possibilities of the machine are un
limited. With a large voltage there IL
no reason why human beings could
net be flashed to death at long dis
tances. believe Russian powder sta
tions were set off by our machine"

TO Think About.

City Magistrate Krotel, who is noted

NOR. occasionally manifested In ut
terances from the bench, turned
cruel shaft loose upon a pestiferous
young attorney this week, TO the su-
preme enjoyment of a crowded court
room, says the New York correspond
ent OF the Cincinnati Times-Star. The
young attorney was prosecuting in a
case where the maintaining OF nui-
sance was alleged. The rulings OF
Magistrate Krotel did not please him.
His numerous objections became per-
sistently controversial. III your honor

sumo to instruct the honorable court
in question of law. but am impelled

properly conceives OF what constitutes

But Evidently Dealer Hadn't Quite
comprehended Question Asked
by His Customer.

. Here is a little story that was told
by Congressman William G. Adamson
of Georgia. when the conversation
turned to natural misunderstanding;
A young housewife who lives in a
suburban town went to the village
store to make some purchases.
These chickens look very NICE" re-
marked the customer, pausing before
the poultry counter. How much are
they?"
zone dollar apiece, madam was the
prompt response of the obliging pro-
prietor. You can't find better poul-
try for the money in the whole coun.

Zone dollar" thoughtfully mused
the customer, and then added: did
you raise thqp?'
"Oh, no, madam" was the hasty
assurance OF the misunderstanding
storekeeper. THAT is the same price
l offered to sell them for yesterday.

heeds FARMING ImpIements.

Farming implements Of all kinds
are greatly needed in France Just
now, and the honorary secretary OF
the French relief fund recently re-
ceived a telegram from M. Outlet,
honorary secretary of the Secours
National, asking permission for the
expenditure OF 10000 francs from the
money raised by the fund for the pur.
chase of agricultural implements, vr'
gently required for the purpose OF
getting in the harvest in the invaded
districts of France. The necessary
permission was Immediately given,
and the French relief fund authori-
ties. knowing that further supplies OF
these implements are badly required,
make a special appeal to manufacture
ers of agricultural implements in
Great Britain who may not have con
tributed already to the fund to make
donations in kind.

A Few In Every Aae.

At a recent fire in the Standard
OIL works at Long Island City 1t took
80 policemen to hold back the women
who wanted to rush into the burning
building and rescue their husbands.
Rumor had II that European agents
fired the works and meant to carry of
the employees. All the husbands
turned up intact, but 1t is reassuring
TO find that wifely spirit can rise to
deeds not unworthy Of the past.
Everyone remembers what hap
pened at Dutch city which, after a
terrific siege, fell before the armies
of the cruel Alva. The one mercy
granted the conquered burghers was
that the women might bring out such
of their most priced possessions as
they could carry on their shoulders.
When the gates were opened line
of ladies staggered forth, each bear
ing a husband. booted and armed,
upon her back.
May there always be few wives
of this mind.-From the New York

Progress in the exploitation of the

the Arctic ocean has been reported
from time to time. The United States

Arctic route. and that extensive prep
arations are now being made by the
Siberian association for the shipping

Advance for Russian Women.

The women's cause in Russia has
made big advance today by the

plan OF the minister Of education to
throw open the doors os certain uni.

cation Of women has been much re.
stricted, the higher schools and univer-

GENIUS NOT INSANITY
ABSOLUTELY FALSE IDEA
SHOULD BE ROOTED OUT.
Theory Retuted as Far as America is
Concerned by the Outstanding
Figures in the History Of
This Country.

A mistaken notion, which has done
much to encourage self.satisfled medi-
ocrity, is that genius is form of in
sanity. This absolutely false idea
needs to be rooted out of the popular
mind, into which II was implanted
chiefly by the efforts of a group Of
European anthropologists.
These men, headed by the cele-
brated Cesare Lombroso, arrived at
their insanity theory OF genius by an
exceedingly simple II laborious
method.
They secured through thousands OF
biographies of illustrious men, seek
ing evidence that at some period in
their lives these men had acted
"queerly.'
Naturally they found great many
men of genius who had indeed acted
.queerly and great many others who
had been positively insane.
With this multitude of horrible ex-
amples as convenient jumping board,
Lombroso and his disciples then pro-
ceeded to leap to the astonishing con-
clusion that all men of genius are
more or less insane.
To the weight of their scholastic au-
thority. and to the bulky books they
have published giving details of the
vagaries OF certain men of genius, is
largely due the erroneous belief SO
widespread today.
Actually, the proportion of insanity
among men of genius Is little, II at all,
higher than the proportion Of insanity
among men IN general.
Indeed, a moments reflection ought
to satisfy anybody as to the absurdity
of the insanity theory with regard to
American genius.
Was Washington insane? Or Jeffer-
son, or Hamilton, or Franklin? Was
insanity the distinguishing mark of
Abraham Lincoln? Can Emerson,
Longfellow, Lowell and Julia Ward
Howe be dismissed with a waye OF the
hand as insane persons?
Coming down to the present day,
would Thomas A. Edison be counted
among the worlds foremost lnnatics
Or Charles w. Eliot? Or Lyman Alb
bott?
! The sooner people rid themselves OF
the false insanity doctrine the sooner
the way viii be cleared for intelligent
pondering of the question.
Is not the man Of genius. after all
representative Of higher possibilities
open to the human race. and is 1t moi
possible to some extent to produce
more men of genius by proper train
ing and environment?
To this question / for one believe
that ultimately an affirmative reply
will be given.-H. Addington Bruce

for her to give adequately In return.

which it should be leveled.-Beatrice
