KEEN MEMORY FOR FACES
Two Years, Man Whom He Had
Only Met in a Crowd. g.

Colonel Roosevelt has one of the
most wonderful memories l ever heard
of, particularly for faces and Names"
said G. e. Embree of the Maine Farm
ers' Union. II first met him some
where about 1906 at Riverhead, Long
Island, when perhaps 5000 persons
were introduced to him.
about two years later l met him on
the street at Oyster Bay. He was in
his shirtsleeves, swinging along to the
postoffice, and being hailed by every
one who saw him, old and young, l
said: Good morning, SIR as we met.
"He paused, rather squinted at my
face and slowly replied: Good morn
ing. Your name is Embree, is 1t not|
I admitted it, in establishment at his
memory, and asked, But where did
you meet me-? and as quickly as a
flash came: 'Riverhead, wasn't itT
But you met 5000 men that day. %,
that doesn't make any difference
"The next meeting with the colonel
was in 1912 at Nashua, N. H. / was
passing around one car to take an
other and stepped a little one side
to allow a man to pass. He casually
looked at me and sang out with a
smile: Hello, Long Island! and was
gone. It is wonderful to me that mans
memory of names and faces."-Kenne-

Saving Sense of Humor.

At it's best estate the human mind is
delicately poised. In this respect it
does not differ from any other highly
complex machine. And for this reason
a comparatively light shock may disar-
range it and reduce it's effectiveness.
Any human trait, therefore, that serves
to guard the mind from jolt and jar
is saving trait. OF such traits is the
saving sense of humor.
This trait may be racial or national,
for we see it more highly developed in
America and Great Britain than in
Prussia and Turkey. But it appears
to be nourished by good physical con-
dition, says a writer in the Minneapo-
lis Journal. Aspeople stricken with
world-weariness like that of India can
not perceive the hidden smile in
things, as can a hopeful people such
as we. But even in well-nourished
land like America the man with the
saving sense of humor is none too COM
mon.

Shakespeare as a Poacher.

Shakespeare had chased this hare in
the country, and knew all about dogs,
hawking and hunting the deer. The
story. goes that he was a poacher. This
is not certain, but / was reminded of
it the other day because l received
from Russia photograph of a picture
painted in Poland over 100 years ago.
The artist was unknown, but the sub
ject was clear. 1t was a picture of
Shakespeare being examined by JUS
tice of the peace, with his stolen game
at his feet, and an odd little boy by
his side-a perky little boy, who was
like the one called Moth in Shake
speare's first play Two cherubs were
standing on nothing, as the way of
cherubs is, high up in the picture, and
pleading, perhaps, for the gayety of
youth; and underneath Justice was
weighing the scales, a foreseeing and
farseeing Justice, who knew that

Wise Constable,

Up the street came the fire engines,
with many a clang and clatter. From
another direction came the fire escape.
Soon the fire hose were busy and the
crowd swelled SO quickly that the
young reporter from the big daily
could get nowhere near the burning
house.
But he was undismayed. With
much agility he climbed a lamp post
and surveyed the scene. A minute
later he felt tug at his ankle, and,
looking down, met the fierce glare Of a
special constable.
"Now, then, down you come, young
mani"
ooh, that's all right! I'm reporter
and I've got to do a description of the
f1re!'

The Child Must Have an Abundance
of Spontaneous Action.

DRY recently, by friend whose sister
days. My friend telephoned to her
sisters house to find out how the chill
dren were getting on, and was assured
by the maid that they were very well.
And with much emphasis the maid
added the further item that the chill
dren were also very good. 1t was
the stress that the maid laid upon
this fact that the children were very
good, although the parents were away,
which made such an impression.
1t appears that there are many peo-
pie who expect, as matter of course,
that children will be naughty when
the restraining influence of the parents
is removed. No doubt the prOverb,
when the cats away the mice are at
play" had its origin in the fact that
the presence of parents or of other
adults was a severe restraint upon
the activities of the children. And no
doubt this fact is to many sufficient
argument for the constant exercise of
some restraint in the form of ''disci-
pine" Yet it should not be difficult
just the opposite point of view is like
ly to lead to more effective results.
The problem is by no means con-
fined to the home. 1t has it's counter
part in the school, in industry and in
government. Many a teacher who
prides herself on her discipline" can
show visitors any day perfect order
on the part of her pupils. The work
proceeds with mechanical regularity,
every child seems to know his place
and keeps it. There are no unneces-
sary movements or sounds. But the
same children, out of sight of the
teacher, are declared by other teachers
In the school TO be the most unruly
and the most unreliable. What, then
avails all this discipline if it can be
made to function" only in the pres
ence of police force?
And so it is, working with more
mature people, under somewhat differ
ent conditions of temptation and mo-
tive, the manager whose shops or Of
fees produce high records of 'effici-
ency" so long as he keeps his hands
firmly on the machinery of admins
tration. For the time being, the moth
er, the teacher, the manager, may be
satisfied with the results. Sooner or
later, however, the overrestrained and
the overmanaged may be expected to
be separated from the machinery OF
discipline. Then the inevitable result

The Surprise.

"The trouble with scientific manage
ment as the employers understand it,
said Samuel Gompers at a labor ban
quet in New York, lis that it's all tc
the employers advantage and all tC
the disadvantage of the employee.

husband said:
"Learn to cook, darling, and III
give you surprise
"She took a SiX-month cooking
course and then brought home her di'
ploma proudly. She could now cook
like an angel.
"rBring on my SURPRISE she said.
"This is it, said her husband
smiling, and he rang for the cook and
discharged her then and there"

furious, what leads to pain and sorrow.
And it is through such selection and
rejection that he comes at last to be
the master of his thoughts and con-
duct.
1t is true, ON the other hand, that
the child needs guidance, for if left
quite to himself his random and spOn-
taneous actions would soon lead to his
undoing. But guidance must be some
thing more than the mothers habit
of saying, Don't do that!" The de-
pendence of the child upon the mother
should be for leadership and counsel,
and not for constant admonition of
the terrors of the law.
The removal of the usual head of a
group should not result in an outbreak
of suppressed feelings. On the con-
trary, there should be an increased
sense of responsibility, keen desire
on the part of each to do his part tit
tingly under the novel conditions.

"When the Cats Away the Mice Will
Play" Is True Only If Vigil
Over Their Action Has Been
Too Stern.
BY sIDoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

A S WE look about among our ac-
n quaintances, we may see that in
some households the absence of the
mother, even for day, is sure to re-
suit in great deal of irregularity in
the conduct of the children-tO say
the least. In other homes, on the con-
trary, almost any adult in charge
would find the children going on about
their games and other activities as
though nothing unusual had occurred.
The difference between these two
types of homes does not show so much
difference between children as one be-
tween the viewpoints or habits of par
ents. In some cases parents rule with
q high hand, and the children have
constantly in their presence feeling
of restraint. To the child, what may
be done and what may not be done
are altogether arbitrary matters, de-
termined by the authority of parent or
teacher. That is to say, right and
wrong" are somehow vaguely syno-
nymous with permitted" and ''for-
D1QQon. whenever, therefore, a pIo
hibition is removed, there will be the
impulse to try the forbidden expert
ence; and where the absence of par
ents withdraws the restraints, children
will take advantage of their absence
to indulge what they are usually for
hidden. Whoever is left in authority
when the parents are away, whether
it be a friend, or relative or hired
servant, is sure to find a strong ten
dency to break out.
Many years ago the school reader
contained a story entitled, mice at
Play" which described the naughty
antics of a houseful of children dur
ing the temporary absence of their
parents. All sorts of forbidden deeds
were INDUCED in, mysterious cup
boards were explored and the pantry
was raided. This nearly forgotten
tale was brought forcibly to my mem

WORKING Abandoned HOLDINGS.

Many holdings in Brazil which have
been abandoned for nearly a century
are now being worked and made pro-
ductive. That of the Carmelite monks,
where there is now settled a colony of
foreign agriculturists, and that of the
Benedictine monks, worked by the
monks themselves, are among these.
The ancient industry of sugar planting
has been revived to an extent never be-
fore known in some states. Many of
the municipalities have revived and
again placed under cultivation old and

whom have no place in which to re-
ceiye company.
Eve have never been able to
learn how many hall room girls
there are in Manhattan" said Mrs.
Claiborne. "but we have letters
from girls complaining of their lot
in such places, especially of the rule
that prohibits them seeing their
male friends at their homes. This
leads to evils. such as frequenting
cafes or walking the streets"
.sThe hotel will have a dance and
assembly room. and, in addition to
the house laundry, each girl may
use small laundry on each floor
for washing hahdkerchsefs and
