WORDS LOST THEIR FORCE
Schwab Should Have Spoken Into
Photograph, He Is Told, When
Discussing His Speech

A banker who was told that Charles
NJ. Schwab, the president of the Beth
lehem Steel works, was one of the
most forceful speakers ever heard at
banquet table. said he believed 1t, and
then told this story:
About the time that Schwab was
buying Bethlehem steel, and had made
arrangements with Piny Fisk of New
York, to handle the bonds, he went
over to New York, and, Of course. was
entertained at q dinner. There he
made one of his most forceful utter
ances. Mr.. Fisk was moved to such
an extent that he said to Mr.. Schwab:
''That will sell the bonds. Only, you
should write it out for me when you
return, so 1 shall have an accurate
statement"
Mr.. Schwab wrote out his remarks
as soon as he got back to his home and
sent them to Mr.. Fisk.
Mr.. Fisk saw him soon afterward
and said: "Why didn't you write me
what you said?"
II did," responded the steel master.
II wrote the exact words"
"Well," answered Mr.. Fisk, much
disconnected, "you should have spoken
them into q monograph"

She leaned toward him across the
rose-shaded table. For those few Sec
onds they seemed to have been brought
into wonderfully intimate communion
of thought. A wave of her hair almost
touched his forehead. His hand boldly
rested upon her fingers.

He turned his head toward the little

MOONS EFFECTS NOT KNOWN
May Be Key to Sleep Walking and
Kindred Disorders, Declares
Writer in Medical Journal.

All persons In all times have seen
an intimate connection between the
moon and fruitfulness, both animal
and vegetable.
SEVEN now" says the New York
Medical Journal, "the onions which
come to our city market owe their ex-
cellence to the farmers careful COR
junction of planting time with the
phases of the MOON"
Such ideas have been so universal
that mans unconscious mind still pre-
serves them, though his judgment may
scorn them as absurd.
Doctor Sadger Of Vienna cites cases
Of somnambulists who '.under the infiu-
ence of moonlight are recalled to times
and scenes of active childish wishes.
The moon calls them in deep sleep to
act out dream wishes"
The Medical Journal suggests that
the key to sleep walking and other
kindred disorders of childhood and
late life may be found in moon-lore.

His Sensitive Soul.

George Challis, owner of theater
in Muncie. Ind, believes that the cray
ing for passes to shows becomes ma
ala, and relates a case in point,
according to the Indianapolis News
He had been besieged for weeks By a
man for passes to shows in the thea
ter, and two or three times, just to get
rid of him, had passed him In, which
only seemed to make, him the more
lnsistent the next time, although Cfal
lis was under no obligation to him.
Finally the fellow struck Challis one
day when the latter was suffering from
the effects Of spoor house" the night
before, and, exasperated, he reached
down in his pocket and, handing the
importuning one dollar, said, go
over there to the box office and buy
yourself a ticket like other people do"
Putting up, his dignity ruffied and his
feelings apparently hurt, the other re-
piled. 'What do you take me fora
cheap skater" And then haughtily
walked away-with Challis' dollar in
his pocket.
