FEW WAR PLAYS HAVE LIFE
Writers Seldom Successful In Produe.
ing Dramas That Long Hold
Public Attention.

To write long list of plays which
have in their day figured as war plays
would neither prove nor disprove any,
thing except this-thet they were SO
written as to deserve recognition from
posterity, or not; II they were they
got it, and II they were badly done.
nobody remembers them; certainly
the fact that they exploit passage at
arms, a battle of war, never kept bad
plays out of the limbo of forgetful-
ness.
Dryden's enormous product includes
at least two dozen war plays, and they
are the deadest in our literature, ac-
cording to the Theater Magazine. He
loves alarms and excursions, but while
one ode devoted to them in a spectacu-
lar way is spouted by every schoolboy.
the plays of this poet in which war
as a spectacle figures even more
grandiloquently are quite lost to all
but the bibliophile.
The first war plays that naturally
recur to the Anglo-Saxon mind are
Shakespeare's histories. These are
war plays, indeed, IL any exist in Eng
lish. Armies march and countermarch
through them, battles are Joined, lost
or won, cities are besieged and taken.
the sight and sounds of sixteenth CEN
fury warfare are constantly heard and
seen; they are perhaps the model war
plays of our language; and Shake
speare's free hand was the only hand
to deal with them.

Mrs. Gadfrey dropped in next day
about lunch time and told Peaches
that the only real way to reduce the

picked out long walk and took it.
After she was gone about six hours.

fifteen miles, and that she had been
terribly extravagant and had used up
all the walk that was In her. and would

Tall Hats Of the Past.

In spite Of statements made lately to
the contrary, tall hats were invented
long before 1913. A Mr.. loft of Tot
tenham, who died In 1867, left ESQ
to the governors of the Tottenham
free grammar school, the interest of
which was to be devoted to the pur.
chase of three tall hats as prizes for
the three best boys.
The hats used to be purchased from
a halter in Bishopsgate street. named
Greenway, for 24s, but in 1911 he in
formed the governor that q duty of Ii
each had been imposed, and the cost
raised to 27s. The duty was again
raised to 2s each, and in 1913 to 2s Cd.
The duty was afterwards repealed, but
by that time the governors were pur-
chasing Bibles instead of hats for the
boys.-Pall Mall Gazette.

We are told in the current news
papers that Alexander Foster Hum
phrey of Pittsburgh has invented a
bullet supplied with narcotics and an
tiseptics, the former to relieve the
pain of a wound and the latter to aid
the healing operations. At least two
patents have issued for narcotizing
bullets. both especially designed for
use in capturing the lower animals.
One patent issued in 1910 to James
Francis O'Byrne and Thomas A. Flood
Of Salt Lake City, for bullet carry
ing a narcotic whose anaesthetic effect
when shot into a fleshy portion of an
animal would SO affect 1t as to render
its capture and control comparatively

that this is due to the presence of one

that resistance to cancer Is q positive
(dominant) trait and that nonresist-
ance appears in children only when
both parents belong to q nonresistant
race. And this result is commonest.

HOW ONE MAN GOT HIS START
Couldn't Go In for Literary Career,
So Went Into Hardware
Business.

Il got my start in life," said a
wealthy retired hardware dealer. in
a singular manner.
You might not think it, having
passed the major portion Of my life in
selling nails, padlocks, stoves and
shovels, but in my early youth my
great ambition was to be a writer, an
author. had no doubt whatever
that that was what l was cut out
for. and certainly worked at 1t good
and hard; but none of the publishers
to whom sent my things seemed to
agree with me. AS fast as l sent
the things in to them they would send
them back.
But that didn't worry me. l knew
that sooner or later they would come
to like what l wrote and buy it. What
got my goat was the expense. ! was
very ready writer and l wrote long
pieces. The stamps l had to use to
send these pieces out and get them
back cost me lot of money.
When l realized how much l was
paying out for stamps l said to my
self: 'Humpf! I'll save up that money
for five years and then I'll 60 to writ
ing again. And for the next five years
l did put aside regularly the amount
that would otherwise have spent for
stamps and you would be surprised
if l should tell you how much It
amounted to. But at the end Of that
time l did not again take up writing.
Just at that time the senior part
ner of the hardware store in our town
died and his heirs drew out all his
interest in the firm. There was q
chance for a man with a little cap
ital to get into good business. I had
the capital. by accumulated stamp
money. and l bought that interest in
the hardware store.
From that time on I was always
too busy to write; but my great sue
cess in the hardware business you
can clearly trace to my original ambi-
bition for authorship"

GULL IN STRANGE MIsHAP
Birds Life Endangered When Nd

Shells Of Clam.

At first thought 1t is hard to imagine
how q clam could endanger the life OF
q bird. That such a strange circum-
stance is not impossible IL shown BY
the following incident.
A settler on one Of the small islands
near Vancouver was returning to his
home by way sof a beach Of hard sand.
when he befield an unusually large
flock of seagulls gathered in q
compact mass and beating with their
beaks and wings upon the sand. Evi-
IDENTIFY they were attacking some en-
envy. Overhead dozens Of gulls
wheeled and screamed In evident ex-
element.
The settler was almost upon the
fighting birds before they burst apart
and few. chattering, toward the
clouds. One, however. lay tapping
upon the ground, and the man saw
that q monster clam held the CULTS
beak in q viselike grip. It was too
heavy for the bird to fly away with.
and for all the gull's frantic strus-
giles, 1t could not loosen the clans
tenacious grip.
With his hunting knife the man
pried open the shells and freed the
captive. The gull was exhausted from
its desperate efforts. and at first could
only stagger like a drunken sailor
toward the water. Finally, however.
