of probab bilities is set against the lattel conclusion.
 Famous women, like famous men, belong to the world. But the habit of men is to think of their wives as belonging to them and this in a very strict and literal sense.
 A great singer who keeps up her work cannot always be situated con- veniently to set out her husbands slippers and find his dressing gown. The laws of matter forbid, for 1t is esta blished that one body cannot be in two places at the same time.
 Only when the man can accept the fact that there are other claims on his wife's time, than his own, is there much change for prolonged happiness in marriage like this. Men do not as readily adjust themselves to the idea of being merely the spouse of a cele- brity, as women do, This speaks for a greater nobility of character in women, than is commonly found in men.
 The ego is the great elemental fact. Any child, or any savage can ac- centuate the desire to be first, giving it dominance. It takes some higher quality, to gracefully assume a posi- tion of subordination. and subordina- ton is what must follow when man of mediocre ability marries woman of genius. whose work requires her to be a parsonage. :.

Washington, D.

 Prof. Muensterberg caused quite a sensation some few months ago by his proGerman utterances, and if this later questioned gentleman from John Harvard's school is to be pre- vented from preaching with a de- cidedly English accent Yale does an injustice. Even in the interests of neutrality Harvard professors should be allowed to go "fifty-fifty' on Ger man and English. By hearing either of these accents from the Cam bridge contingent Yale students can better appreciate the language of their own United States.

So long as. the United States harbors such industrial concerns as the one in Pittsburgh, which has announced that in order to foster a patriotic spirit among it's employees those who enter military training camps shall receive full pay while away, besides a two weeks vacation with remuneration, Uncle Sam need have no fear for the nation. Nor can there be any politics in this action which is designed to as- sist the national administration in it's preparedness plan. The concern is not interested one way or another in politics or the munitions of war. It makes plate glass and employs some six thousand men. There are many other firms throughout the nation that could well afford to follow the example set by this concern in the Smoky City

POSED WITH HIS 600 WIVES
When the British Captured Fumban
the King Was Given a Ball
and Reception.

A reception and dance was given to
the British force by the king of Fun
ban shortly after the capture Of this
province from the German forces. The
function was featured by a speech
from the throne and the taking Of a
photograph of the king and his 600
wives and 149 children.
Soon after the last of the fighting
in the province the conquerors accept
ed an invitation from the king to visit
the palace grounds, which open on the
market place. Here they were met by
the king, dressed in new flowing robes
of blue with a blue muller tied round
his neck.
After the soldiers were lined up at
seats on either side OF the market
place the king made a short speech,
first in his native tongue and then in
pigeon English, admonishing his SUBJ
jects to be kind and courteous to the
new cOnquerors.
Then the dance began. The orches-
ira was made up chiefly of various
sized drums made of hollow trees and
stretched skins. The only other in
strument was a species of rattle, with
which most of the natives were armed,
and with which they kept remarkable

that he knows that his is the oldest

right Of no other nation to teach him

Naples, he says: AT the last moment

about going to bed before the After
noon really was over.
In a moment or two Harry was
sound asleep in his chair by the Win
dow. And the Sun had listened to
the Fairy Queens whisper. For, soon,
Harry was having the most wonderful
talk with Mr.. Sun.
He came right in the Window, and
sat on the sill, just as friendly as
friendly could be- He told Harry the
history of his life, and oh, how very,
very old he was. 1t made Harry feel
quite old too, to hear the Sun talking,
and he said to him, Mr. Sun, don't
you feel very blue when you think how
old you are?'
Sometimes to be sure 1 do. That
is only natural. And it is then that
you see many blue Clouds and pale
lavender cOlOrs around me as I'm 60
ing to bed. But you will agree that
isn't very often. For when l am SEN
sible l say to myself that there is
nothing disgraceful about being old.
And it is then that l look bright and
rosy. For it is very foolish to mind
being old when you are as strong and
well as I am and have such won
derful long record
AT that, Harry seemed to see the
lovely rose coloring, almost flaming,
and he heard the Sun continue,
Nov tonight | am very proud to
think of my wonderful life and how
many sick folks have cured, and how
many people say when they see me
that it does seem good to see the Sun
again. That happens after l have
been off on a visit, of course But
sometimes l can't help it, and l get
blue just because l am old, oh so very
old that it gets me tired out trying to
think how old
Before he knew it, Harry felt his
Mother shaking him very gently, and
saying,
Gracious me, Harry, it is long
past bedtime; why even the Sun has
set and it is quite dark
Harry slowly and sleepily went to
bed. But he was always so glad that
he had had such a friendly chat with
the Sun and afterwards always knew
how the Sun was feeling by the colors
in the Sunset.

must have been very happy"
