During the summer of about seven
years ago, a young man of diminutive
statue and swarthy complexion haunt
ed the seemingly inaccessible sanctum
of well known music publisher with
a certain song. With the manuscript
in hand stained by usage he at last
met the big publisher. The latter
good naturally confronted the young
man, glanced copiously over the MS,
at once gave his official endorsement
and purchased the song, paying the
munificent sum of S25. The song,
titled Dorando," became a success
over night and forthwith placed the
swarthy looking one in the limelight
of approaching fame.
The young composer was none
other thsn that genius of song and
syncopated rythm, Irving Berlin, whose
latest and withal biggest success,

musical comedies was first presented

immediate favor snd afterwards had
q vogue that endured for whole year
both in New York and Boston. The

perienced mirth provokers as Chuck
Riesner, Hzael Boyne Kitty Hart,

ODORlFEROUS GAS .
BUT 1T CAN'T BE HELPED
Scarcity OF Coal Compels "Leayiugs"
To Ae Burned-May Be

Everybody is complaining abO
dissgreeable odor of gas. 1t ha
noticeable for several days and people
who are obliged to burn gas are cough
ing and are ell choked up.
The present condition of the gas
cannot be helped. The Annapolis Pub
lie Utilities Company is cup against
it, as is everybody else. The com
pany is having to buy any old kind of
co i il can get, and is glad to get it
at any price. The present coal, or
trash that goes under that name, is
all that is available for the manufac-
ture of coal gas. Recently contract
was signed by the company for all the
available coal, some five or six car
loads, at fabulous price.
Everybody should realize the present
strenuous conditions, especially in the
fuel line, and the present disagreeable
odor of gas will have to be endured,
for there may be no gas at all in the
next two or three months if coal is not
procurable.

FARM BY-PRoDUcTS OF VALUE
Missouri Agriculturist Sells Contents
Of One Automobile and One
Wagon for 1880.

We learn from the Cape Girardeau
Republican that farmer of Millers-
vile, that county, drove into Jackson,
the county seat, the other day carrying
in one automobile and one wagon by
products of the farm which sold for
$3.50 cash, says the st. Louis Repub-
lie. The by-products consisted of wool,
feathers, poultry products and garden
truck.
Time was when the average farmer
would not have fooled with any Of
these products except wool, consider
ing them good only for use by the
women folks in trade at village store
AS, indeed, they were.
But the world is calling for the prod
ucts and by-products of the American
farm as never before. The farmer who
neglects the call and allows things to
go to waste for which there is an ac-
tive cash demand is the one who will
still have a mortgage on his place in
stead of tractor and an automobile.

Value Of College Education.

Dean Holmes of the Pennsylvania
State college, after spending months
gathering statistics and reducing them
to orderly form, has discovered that the
money value of four years at college Is
$4,000, or a financial return of $4,000
for every year so spent. Dean Holmes
investigations reveal the fact, which at
first seems little disconcerting to the
advocates of university training, that
the average earnings of a bachelor of
arts amounts to $1,1S7 a year, not
quite $25 a week. But the situation
brightens for the colleges when we
learn that the average earnings of the
noncollege man are only $518-not $40
a week. The difference between these
two sums Is 5000, and since the aver
age man lives 30 years after. leaving
college, his financial reward for four
years of more or less arduous under
graduate toll is evidently something
more than $20OOO.-WorId' Work.

PLAYED THE SECOND VIOLIN
Lesson Drawn From Incident in Life
Of Student Which Showed Disre-
gard of Personal Ambition.

In a recent issue of the Record OF
Christian Work there is brief memo
rial of a splendid young life that car
ries so great a message that it may
well be sent on TO other lives. old and
young alike, says the Youths Compan-
Ion.
He was a student at Mount Herman.
strong, gifted and popular. His death
he was drowned while skating-was
shock and a grief to the whole
school. On the day when his funeral
was held in his own home, a memorial
service was also held at the school. He
had been prominent in athletics, but the
student who spoke of that part of his
life had bigger thing TO tell than the
record of his prowess: he spoke of his
unfailing Christian courtesy.
HE was never heard" he said, Ito
kick against the umpire's decision"
Another told of his willingness. cour-
tesy and pluck in doing the humblest
duties-a combination of qualities
worthy Of consideration. Many persons
do humble tasks, but how many bring
to such tasks all the courtesy, the.
study. the enthusiasm. that they would
bring to larger duties? 1t was that
same spirit of enthusiastic service and.
utter disregard of personal ambition
that shone in the incident that made;
the deepest impression of all. 1t was,
told by the leader of the school orches-
ira, one of the teachers in the music
department. The student whose men,
DRY they were honoring was a good
musician, one of the first violins in
the orchestra. Not long before his
death he had suggested that the work
of the orchestra would be greatly i'm.
proved by an increase in the number
of second violins. AS everyone knows,
the second violins merely furnish a.
background for the first violins-there
is very little opportunity there for star
work. Yet this boy, planning for the
thing that should mean the greatest
efficiency for the orchestra and the
greatest service to the school. made
his suggestion to the leader, and at
the same time proposed that he him
self should play second violin instead
of first.
The brief, young life, so soon ended
here, had learned the secret of great
living. He could leave no greater heri-
tage to his school, or TO young lives
everywhere; not self. but service, and
a service that demanded, even In its
humblest tasks, all the best of body,
mind and soul that he had to give.

The Birth OF A Nation
AT The Colonial Tonight

1.-THE Birth of Nation ID. w.
Griffith's mighty masterpiece, is the
attraction at the Colonial Theater to-
night. This will be the farewell tour
of the Griffith spectacle. In every
city where return engagements were
played last season the attendance was
always as large and often larger than
the fist time. Audiences that tested
the capacity of the theaters were 10
evidence at every performance both
North and South and East and West.
Never before have such cheers been
heard in a theater. Ordinary ap-
plause was evidently not sufficient
outlet for the enthusiasm of the audi
ences during the big scenes.
This wonderful spectacle of the
American military era is eminently
suited to the present with the echoes
of the Great War in every ear. Civil
strife that grew out of misunderstand
ings battles fought over fsr-reaching
areas; the great, all-loying heart of
the President and the Vaccinations of
the little men who after his death
thwarted his fra-seeing and Deneficent
plans the victory of the North and the
terrible aftermath of Reconstruction
these furnish succession of themes
the working out of which impinges as
vividly upon 1916 as lS63-'65. Never
before has Americas greatest war
been thus comprehensively put on
stage, film, panorama or canvas. 1t is
the biggest patriotic entertainment
ever devised and it ineulcates the les.
son OF national solidarity with sledge-
hammer strokes. 1t is powerful plea
for pstriotism.

one DAYS Picture.

Each day frames its picture; work,
play, laughter, ennui, hoping, forget
ting. wasting and conserving. Each
day has its shifting point of sight, its
interesting study In the angles of per-

And then tomorrow comes and yester-
