BOOKS ONES BEST FRIENDS
ton of Great Writers Complete Happiness Is Found.

When once the love of books has come into mans life he can never be lonely, he can never be bored, he can never lose his interest in life, he can never be quite unhappy. Books are the friends that never fail, and the men and women that only live In books are the best and the most real friends of all.
 If were to set down the names of the 20 friends who mean most to me, should find that more than one-half of them lived in the novels of Dickens and Thackeray. Dumas and Daudet, Wells and Hardy and Meredith.
 The happy life is not spent altogeth- CT in the world of streets and shops and offices. A large part of 1t must be lived in the world of imagination. And living with the imagination of great writers we, too, learn to dream, and the happiest homes in the world are the castles in the air that we build for ourselves. They are, indeed, the only homes the foundations of which are unshakable rocks.-Sidney Dark, in John oLondon's Weekly.

Iron and Steel Work in India.

India has already laid the basis of a steel industry in the establishment of two important and successful iron and steel works; namely, the Bengal Iron and Steel works at Kulti, which turns out 100000 tons of pig iron per month, and the Tata Iron and Steel works at Sakchi, about 155 miles from Calcutta, which has monthly production of about 10000 tons. Most of this pig iron is converted into steel, which Is largely used locally in the production of rails and the smaller structural shapes but even with the additional furnaces now under construction, which in the case of the Tata works win more than triple it's previous ca- n9e'tv not more than 2 fraction of Iudia needs of iron and steel win be supplied from these TWO works.

East Hoids Rubber Supremacy.

Until ten years ago rubber meant rubber from Brazil. Today Brazirs supremacy is gone. In less than decade the far east has jumped to the front and now is producing nine-tenths Sf the rubber of the world. In the late sixties. just when the first experi- ments with the automobile were under way, an Englishman, H. A. Wickham. who had spent much time in Brazil. conceived the idea that rubber plants could be grown on plantations.
 Securing a commission from the In- tiia government he boxed up thousands of seeds. chartered derelict ship up the Amazon, and started for India. The first trees grew at Heneratgoda in 1881. and that same year the first experiments in tapping began.

DAN DAILY QUITS MARINES
Famous War Hero Who Won Two Medals Will Go Into
 Business.

New York.-First Sergt. Dan Daily, undoubtedly the best known man in all the services with the exception of Sergt. York of Argonne fame. has been placed on the inactive list of the Ma rine Corps reserve.
 Daily won two medals of honor for valor in the Boxer rebellion and in the capture of Fort Riviere in Haiti, and Is said to be the only man in all the services who holds two medals of honor.
 In the world war his feats of ex- ceptional bravery won for him the me daille militaire and the croix du guerre from France, and the distinguished service cross from Gen. Pershing. His passing from the active list to go into business removes from the marines their most picturesque of the old school soldiers.

Samoan Tradition as to the Origin Of Humanity Is One of the Most
 Curious.

As term of ridicule, human beings have often been called worms" and in this connection the inhabitants of Samoa have strange superstition re garding our origin. A very peculiar occurrence takes place in Samoa once . year for a period of 48 hours. To- ward the end of October, dense mass of sea worms appears on the sur face of the water. surrounding Samoa. These forms. which are of various lengths, are great delicacies of the Samoans! Known as "Palolo," they are sought for with enthusiasm by ev- cry native man, woman and child, and as they only stay on the surface of the water for short time, in favored parts, these worms want watching for {! It is in connection with these weird worms that the Samoans' superstition arose. The story Is that Tangaloa, the chief god of the Samoans. sent his daughter, Turf, down to earth to search for home. In all the waste of water there was only bare rock, and she went and told her father of the shortage of dwelling accommodation. He thereupon gave her wild vine to plant on the rock which she had found, and 1t fiourished for time, then died. Turf was vexed to think the vine would not thrive, but her father or dered her to dig it up. This she did, and discovered that all the withered leaves had turned to worms, and that, in some strange manner, these worms afterward became men and women. And thus the Samoans say, men were created

Would Keep London
Palace Girls Single

To bring sixteen English girls of mar
riageable age 5000 miles from home and
20 give her word to keep them together
as a dancing organization for two years
and at the end Of that time to return
them safe and unmarried to their
teacher in London Is the rather sub
stantlal promise made by Miss Jessie
Wharton, leader Of the London Palace
Girls dancing with Fred Stone in Tip
Top at the Globe Theatre.
In the first place. John Tiller is prob
ably the most widely known teacher of
ensemble dancing In the world. He
never has left England. but his dancing
troupes have been seen in all parts OF
the world. The London Palace Girls,
appearing at the Palace Theatre. Lon
don, he regarded as his best dancers,
and II was always the most accom-
plishod Of his pupils who were assigned
to vacancies in this troupe, which al
ways has consisted Of sixteen dancers.
Consequently, when Charles Dillingham;
contracted during the summer for their
two years engagement in America TIL
Ter consented only upon condition that
Miss Wharton was TO agree to accom-
pany the troupe and herself promise to
return II TO Tiller two years hence.
Miss Wharton herself Is a John Tiller
graduate. She began in one of his
dancing schools when she was eight
years old, and made her first stage
appearance in pantomime four years
later. Since that time she has danced
continuously in Tillers troupes. All
OF the girls In the London Palace troupe
are graduates of the John Tlller school
and have danced together for several
years Miss Wharton herself has been
a member of the troupe twelve
years She Is the senior member. but
eleven of the girls have danced to-
gether for the last ten years. Two
have been with the troupe eight years
and two are comparative newcomers
Of but six years association.
Perhaps Il is the long association
together of the sixteen girls which
makes Miss Wharton's task possible.

spoke of the concertino, as the little body
of solo instruments was called, and the
ripieno. as the tutti instruments were
named.
The wise types deliciously changed
concertino to concertina and thereby
disclosed Handel to the world as the
composer of an entirely delightful style
of work. a concerto for concertina and
orchestra. This completely eclipses Mr..
Huneker's famous concerto for three
oboes and fire hydrant Mr.. Moor's en-
ployment of a string quartet as con-
certino was not wholly novel and his
method followed that of the fathers. But
he made gallant attempt at moderniz-
ing the form.
Occasion has been taken In these
columns to express wonder that tbs at
tempt was not oftener made. The form
is capable of admirable variety and in
terest Mr. Moor succeeded in some
portions of his composition in achieving
both, but unfortunately much of his
music lacked point and was labored in
style. 1t is a pity that the moderns do
not oftener profit by the example OF the
fathers in the matter of conciseness
The ancients always had something to
say, said it, and finished. The moderns
too often continue to write after they
