Beqinninas In Authorship.

The first appearance in print of that successful author, Arthur Pendennis. was a poem written to match an en- graving which the proprietor of mag azine found unexpectedly thrown on his hands. NJ. Jules Claretie's first novel was composed under somewhat similar circumstances. Edmond Den tn. prominent publisher under the second empire. had widely advertised novel entitled "Une Drolesse." by a writer who signed herself Comtesse Dash. On the eve of publication the lady wanted the title altered. The publisher refused to make any change and in order not to waste money hunt ed around for an author capable of furnishing within four weeks novel which the title would flt M. Claretie undertook the task and finished it well within the stipulated time. - London Standard.

Didn't Stop.

A young man who was with party of motor tourists making a trip through the mountains decided to stop over in an attractive place for few days and went into the hotel to ascer- tain the rates.
 What are your rates?'' he inquired
 Seven dollars a day, sir" was the reply.
 "If l stay" went on the man. Il shall want room on the parlor floor '
 That will cost you $1 extra.' said the clerk.
 II shall also want room with fire place. where can have a fire these chilly evenings"
 "One dollar more, sir"
 And. of course," said the tourist. Il want one with bath also.''
 "A dollar additional. sir.''
 Well" said the man thoughtfully, "how much will you charge to let me leave the hotel just as l am?"-Pulit- ger Magazine.

THE KING IS KING.
No "Power Behind the Throne" In
 Enuland, 1t Is Sajd

No "PoWer Behind the Throne" In
 England, 1t Is Said.
 It is often asked who really inspires the kings attitude upon current ques- tons of the day and, more particular ly, who writes his speeches.?
 The king takes, it is possible to state, the closest interest in every lead ing question of the day. and. while he must of necessity take the advice of his responsible ministers, he has views of his own that he does not hesitate to pronounce whenever the occasion calls for it, while his speeches he "roughs out" entirely by himself.
 This draft of what his majesty de slres to say is then passed on to the officials of the private secretaries of fee, who prepare the speech in set form and submit it. to his majesty in formal language. This he goes through most carefully, and it often takes two or three rewritings before the king is thoroughly satisfied with it.
 It may be said at once. however, that no words uttered by the king are ap- proved until they have passed his most careful scrutiny. It is likewise possi- ble to add that his majesty is an ex- tremely good impromptu speaker and that some of his most notable utter ances have been made without any previous preparation of any kind.- London Gentlewoman.

OUR SUPREME COURT.
There Was a "Leak" There Once, but
 1t Was Quickly Stopped.

"Yes; it is true that supreme court decisions leaked in the old days" re- marked an old time broker. Il remem- Der a certain important suit about twenty years ago. It was the great case of those days, as big in its way as the Standard Oil and Tobacco suits of the present. A week before the de rision came down the son of one of the judges came into my office, and l told him that of the nine judges one would decide so and SO, one would refrain from any opinion, and the remaining seven would make decision so and so.'
 He smiled and went away. Shortly after the decision was rendered and the matter had turned out as l had foretold this young man came back to the office. He said his father was greatly worried over the leak in the court and asked me if I could help them trace the source of my informa- tion. l told him what l knew-that one of the official supreme court ste negrophers had been selling advance copies of the decisions to a very prom inent broker of that time. What this broker paid for his information l, of course. do not know, but it was estab- lished that l was correct as to where the weak spot was in the court.
 Since then every decision by the supreme court has been written in long hand lone copy). thus making it abso- lutely impossible for any outsider to get the news in advance. This ex- plains in part why it now takes so long for the court to announce its deci- sions."-Wall Street Journal.

DREAM GREAT DREAMS.
And Then Strive Your Utmost to Make
 Your Dreams Come True.

And Then Strive Your Utmost to Make
 Your Dreams Come True.
 To turn the face in the right direc- tion and then to travel on is unques- tionably the essential secret of all achievement. There are, however, cer- tain facts as we'll as certain inner forces common to us all that can be used as helps along the way.
 In a recent little poem by Edwin Markham we find these lines: Great 1t is to believe the dream When we stand in youth by the starry
 stream,
 But greater thing is to fight life through And say at tho end. "The dream is true, |"
 Whether the dream. which may be used as another term for ones ideals. does come true depends primarily upon the self. The intrepid and the brave hearted, moreover, actualize more of their ambitions or ideals than do the faint hearted or the vacillating. It was Goethe who said:
 Are you in earnest? Seize this very min- ute;
 What you can do or dream you can. be-
 gin it.
 Boldness has genius. power and magic in 1t Only begin and then the mind grows
 heated:
 Begin and then the work will be com
 pleted.
 Life, or rather life in continually expanding and achieving form. is, aft CT all, business, and they who are the most in earnest get from it the most and in turn give the most back to the world again.-Ralph Waldo Trine in Woman's Home Companion.

When we are at our best flood of life pours itself out in the simple old words Good morning!'-a flood of meaning which strains to express itself in thousand ways. but has to be con tent with verbal symbols. Our phys ical and vital energies. our love, our playfulness, our stores of gratitude for the worlds past gifts, all that is calling US toward the future, comes rushing out in the time mellowed greeting.

BUSY TAIL OF A WHALE.
Legend of the Origin of the Idea of the
 Screw Propeller.

Legend of the Origin of the Idea of the
 Screw Propeller.
 The following extraordinarily inter- esting story is printed by the Marine Journal with the express stipulation that it cannot guarantee it's authentici- ty, but gives it for what it is worth:
 "'Way back in 1858 the stout Dutch bark Groote Marie. Captain Van der Broeck, bound from Amsterdam to the East Indies, became dismantled in try ing to round the Cape of Good Hope and, because of high seas, was in a generally bad plight. Just as things were looking particularly black an in- vestigation of q terrific blow received by the vessel on her high, square stern revealed the fact that a large whale had crashed partly through the rear boards and had got caught in the tim bers. Fortunately water which was pouring into the aft hold was prompt ly blown out through the open hatch way by the struggling animal, and in andeavoring to release itself the big iudiliildi ia"ucu Ihe ""tei "1tH iLo Iail so violently that it propelled the bark ahead at seven knots an hour into Cape Town harbor. :"
 Ut was in watching the mighty ef- feet of the whales tail that the good captain conceived the idea of a screw propeller, but neither the Dutch mer chants of Cape Town nor his brother shippers of Amsterdam were suffi- ciently iterested in his tale to unite with him in patenting the device"

CHINESE COUNTING
 0N OUR SUPPORT
Resistance To Japanese Demands Reported To Be Based On
 That Belief.


 ments here seem to make certain that the Chinese government believes 1t has the support of the United States government in it's resistance to the Japanese demands for preferential treatment in China, and that this be- lief accounts for the reported refus- al of China to yield further to Japan in the pending negotiations.
 Paul s. Reinsch, American minis the State Department in close touch with the situation and developments at Picking, is understood to have for warded to Secretary Bryan within the last forty-eight hours a lengthy re- port on the present status of the ne- gotiations. In this report it is under stood that the American minister has stated that the Chinese government is refusing to grant any preferential treatment to Japan outside of South Manchuria and Eastern Inner Mongo- lia, and that this is based on the belief of the Chinese government that the United States government will give full support to that position.
 State Department officials were asked today whether such report had been received from Minister Reinsch, but refused to confirm the fact. They followed their determined policy of neither discussing nor dis closing the inside facts of the situa- tion. There were two significant con- ferences at the State Department to- day that undoubtedly related to the situation. Baron Chinda, the Japanese ambassador. was closeted an hour with Secretary of State Bryan this morning.
 Within an hour after Baron Chn- da left the secretary's office the Chi nese minister appeared and was ush- cred into Secretary Bryan's office for another long conference. This was the second call that the Chinese Min ister had made at the State Depart memnt within twenty-four hours, as he had conferred late yesterday with Secretary Bryan. One report had it that during these conferences the re- port from Minister Reinsch was dis cussed.
 
 High officials of the administration charged with the consideration of the Chinese situation are carefully study. ing the contents of the statement that has been cabled by Americans in China to President Wilson com- blaming of the preferential demands made upon China by the Japanese government This statement, which contained about 5000 words, and was cabled in it's entirety from Peking to President Wilson direct, is receiving President Wilson's personal atten. tion, but has also been referred to officials of the State Department.
 Efforts to obtain the text of this cabled statement of Americans in China were unsuccessful today, as they have been previously, both at the White House and the State De. partment. where no hint, even of the nature of the statement, could be ob. tained.
 The contents of this statement are of such character that the president believes 1t should not be published. The presidents unwillingness to pub. fish the cablegram is thought to in- dicate that he does not wish to com. init himself, even by implication, to a policy antagonistic to Japan.
