William De Morgan.

In spite of himself William De Nor
gan became famous. He deliberately
violated all the rules made for the
guidance of novelists who seek to be-
come popular None Of his novels was
addressed to the greater public that is
avid for the latest thing of the moment
in fiction, but nevertheless they reach
ed that public. He was a law unto
himself in the novels that he wrote
during his marvellous career that span
ned only ten years. 1t is doubtful if
in English literature or in any other
can be found writer whose life and
literary career are comparable to his,
He was an old man when the world Of
readers came to know him, and his age
was an asset toward celebrity. At
seventy he was hailed as eagerly as
Kipling was hailed at twenty, and in
his way he was no less a prodigy than
the younger writer.-Bookman.

George and His Legs.

Bit by bit the historical grubbers are
digging out the truth about our i'm
mortal George. We have heretofore
been told that he wore false teeth
and that at Valley Forge he unblush-
ingly deceived his ragged and despond-
ent troops with the arrival Of ample
supplies Of ammunition, which consist
ed Of powder barrels filed with sand,
and now a correspondent of the New
York Sun declares that In the full
length portraits Of Washington by
Stuart, OF which there is one in the
New York public library, the legs were
not his own. II have seen the letter
from Stuart thanking the true owner
for his kindness in providing q SYM
metrical foundation for the bust of the
great president and presenting one of
the smaller portraits in thanks for his
Kindness"

An Expert In Motives.

Cousin Henry is an expert in mo-
tives. If you were reading off a list
of names and overlooked Henry he
would understand. He would know
exactly the motive that prompted you
to do it. If you don't think to intro.
duce him to the man who is with you
he can see through it. He may have
to go back four or five years, but he
will make a complete case against you.
In less than an hour he will know
what your motive was. Right now he
is angry because his daughter was not
selected as valedictorian Of her class.
You may think that the other girl de-
served to be selected, but you don't
know all that Henry knows. 1t is a
long story, but he is willing to tell it
to you, and after hearing it you will
understand the motive-you will IN
derstand that it is a case of spite work

Spanish Doubloons.

Should one find a pirates buried
treasure he would have to dispose OF
his Spanish gold at its bullion value,
for since Aug. 1, 1908, when the COM
mon crier made proclamation from the
steps of the Royal Exchange Of Lon
don that after that date the doubloon
would cease to be legal tender in the
West Indies, including British Guiana,
the doubloon has not been the precious
thing 1t was. In 1730 and for a CEN
fury after it was worth So, more or
less. 1t has ceased to be coined in its
native country, Spain, and since 1908
It has been unpopular in the West In
dies, where for a long time IT figured
in a mixed circulation, embracing Brit
fish, United States and Spanish coins
In the interest Of romance, however,
the name ut least must survive. 1t
signifies nothing more than that the
coin was double the value of piStole,
but the ''doubloon" was never such a
mouth filling mockery as ''pieces Of
eight" which suggests great riches,
but means only Spanish silver dollars,
pieces equivalent to eight reals.-ROch-
ester Post Express.

Necessities of War.

When Lloyd George In England In
dertook to organize the ministry OF
munitions a glazier began to stamp
out cartridge clips; a manufacturer OF
music rolls used his equipment to make
gauges; a concern engaged before the
war In preparing infants food began
delivering plugs for shells; an adver-
Using agency manufactured shell adj
apters; watchmakers began adjusting
fuses; a manufacturer Of baking ma
chinery became a contractor for six
inch high explosive shells; a jewelry
house devoted itself exclusively to
periscopes; a photograph concern sent
millions of delicate shell parts to the
assembling stations; a firm which
made nothing but sheep shearing ma
chinery started turning out shell cases;
a cream separator factory manufactur-
ed shell primers. Among other pro-
ducers Of finished shells were candle
makers, flour mills, tobacco manufac-
turers, syphonmakers and the manu-
facturers Of sporting goods.-World's

A Famous New York Street.

Few of the thousands of people who
pass the corner Of Nassau and John
streets every day know the early his
tory Of Nassau street And yet right
at that corner is bronze tablet which
gives in concise form the following
historical information:
Nassau Street, Known Originally
as the Street That Runs by the Pye
Woman Was Laid Out About 1895 and
Was Named In Honor of the House Of
Nassau, Whose Head at That Time
Was William the Third, King Of Eng
land and Stakeholder Of the Dutch Re
public. Nassau Street Became Identi-
fed With the Jewelry Trade More
Than Half Century Ago."
The bronze tablet is on the exterior
of the building at the northwest cor
ner of Nassau and John streets. 1t

He Lacked Concentration.

Speaking Of a man who was q failure
because of his lack of concentration
and his inability to know his own mind
five minutes at a time, captain of in
dustry said he reminded him OF hunt
ing dog he once owned:
"At sunrise the dog would start out
on his own hook afeer deer. He would
Jump a buck and run him for miles.
When the buck was on the point of e1-
haustion the hounds nostrils would
catch the faint in the air where a fox
had crossed the trail, and he would in
stantly decide that, after all, fox was
what he had come for, and he would
turn aside to pursue the fox. Perhaps
an hour later, when the chase was
growing warmer every minute, his keen
nose would detect the presence of a
rabbit, and he would go after the cot
tontail, with the inevitable result that
by 4 o'clock in the afternoon that
hound would be thirty or forty miles
away from home in a swamp with a
chipmunk treedr-Saturday Evening
