Knew Extremes Of FORTUNE.

Few careers have covered wider ex-
tremes of fortune than did that of
John of Cappadocia. He was a Roman
officer of very high rank under En-
peror Justinian, in the sixth cen
fury. He was a very able man, and
under his direction the finances OF the
government fourished wonderfully.
Incidentally he amassod q great for
tune for himself. But he was very
corrupt, and the revenues were raised
''on the deaths Of thousands, the pow
erty of millions, the ruins Of cities, and
the desolation of provinces. He lived
most eXtravagantly, and INDUCED in
all sorts OF wicked practices. But his
life of ostentatious protiigacy was sud
denly changed into one of abject pow
erty. Though guilty of many crimes,
he was accused Of one OF which he
seems to have been innocent, and was
condemned TO be scourged like the
lowest Of criminals. Nothing Of his
vast fortune was left him but one old
ragged cloak, and it is said that for
seven years he begged bread in the
streets of cities that once had trem-
bled at his name.

How About Your Manners.

Manners are of the head and the
heart. Perfect manners can be only
of both, because occasions there must
be in social life when the heart is not
a sufficient guide.
A clever person with little or no
heart may be better hammered, as a
rule, if he takes pains than good
natured person with little or no head;
but when he falls, as he is pretty sure
to fall some time, his selfshness or ir-
ritation betraying him, he falls with a
thud.

uncomfortable crowd of pleasure
makers, but she rested securely. And,
still faint and almost number by the
realization of her predicament, she r.
heard her brother say:
Its all right! Here come the en- )
gines!"
The crowd cheered wildly as the
firemen appeared, and presently |
stream of water from each of a dozen
high-pressure hoses was playing y
upon the upper story. The smoke be-
came more intense, but the flames
died. And presently firemen appear
ed among the throng.

shouting. Leave by the elevators, !

Although much of the upper struc-'
ture of the hotel had been burned
away, the elevator shafts were not =
seriously damaged. The elevators,
which had been at the bottom of the
cages, were soon running up and
down and conveying the crowd to !

The ice was fairly broken, and

was pleased, because somehow it
seemed to ease his own guilty con-
science. But in the midst of the
mirth a thin wisp of smoke was. seen
to curl out of the side of the stage.
A moment later a. thick, black cloud
drifted toward the audience.

The stage manager appeared and
held up his hand. "There is no dan

The panic was checked, but as the

Little Show Lady out at the Fair.
Wearing the bangles and beads in
your hair,
With queer tawdry dress now so dusty
and old,
And the rings and the bracelets that
never were gold
Does your heart ever weary of glare
and of lights,
The harsh grating music, the noise and
the sights,
The jeer and the poke, the laundering
crowd,
The hot musty air, and the laugh
coarse and loud?
Sometimes do you yearn for fresh
living rose
Or cling to those crumpled ones pin
ned to your toes.
o, little Dance Woman, in spite of the
paint
The fimsy continuance, the flare and
the faint,
Comes never a longing for fields far
away,
Or if life but the flash of rag" roun-
delay?
Is your all in the race and its rattle of
pelf,
The poor shallow round and the
hooking of self,
With no glory of sunset nor stars
quiet light,
In the dingy old tent that encIoses
your night,
Just the sitting unrest, the nerve
tearing game,
The Haunting gay sign that emblazons
your name?
When riot and shoutings and crowding
are past,
Will Love come to find you and hold
you at last
Or only these faces, so empty and
bold,
Whose cheap admiration would buy
