How sweet consolation there is in
that little word tomorrow 7" The
poets have given IL an unduly melan-
choly tang-probably because "sOr-
row" and borrow are the only ready
rhymes for 1t. You can never trust
poet to tell the truth when he is
pinehed for rhymes.
For poor, easygoing humanity ito
morrow solves all problems. Tomor-
row 1--WE trustfuIly say) the shirts will
come back from the laundry we will
write that letter to Bill; we will give
up smoking; we will he brave enough
not to temper our cold bath with
warm water Tomorrow, after we
have had refreshing sleep, we will
compose the immortal poem; we will
refashion our life on an austere,
reasonable philosophy we will get our
hair cut; we will astonish the boss.
Humanity must be fond of tomor-
row, because there is always so much
work being saved for that occasion.
He that works tomorrow will tri-
umph yesterday.
1t is sad 10 reflect that for each of
US there Is coming the day with no
tomorrow.-New York Evening Post.

PUT IT IN PLEASANT WAY
Thomas Bailey Aidrich's Humorous
Rebuke to Correspondent Whose
Writing Was lllegibie.

II takes a clever man TO find good
word to say on every occasion. 1t is
said Of Thomas Bailey Aldrich that he
once received letter from his friend,
Prof. Edward 8. Morse. and found the
handwriting wholly illegible. Mr.. Aid
rich was not at q loss for an answer.
In due time there came to Mr. Morse
the following reply:
MY Dear Morse-It was very pleas
ant to receive letter from you the
other day Perhaps should have
found 1t pleasanter If had been able
to decipher 1t. I don: think I mas
tered anything beyond the date, which
knew, and the signature, at which I
guessed
There Is singular and perpetual
charm in a letter of yours--it never
grows old, and it never loses it's novel;
ty. One can say every morning. as
one looks at 1t, Here's letter of
Morse's / haven't read yet. l think
! shall take another shy at 1t today,
and maybe l shall be able in the course
Of few years to make out what he
means by those is that look like WIS,
and those is that haven't any eye
brows.' Other letters are read and
thrown away and forgotten, but yours
are kept forever-unread. One of them
will last reasonable nun lifetime"

TIME MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Poets and Musicians Of Old Days Lived
Hard Lives, but Would &c
Rich Today.

A Philadelphia connoisseur has re-
turned from England with manu-
script Of SheIley's for which he paid
100 pounds (normally about $S,5O0).
II is said that the total amount Shell
ley received In his lifetime from the
publishers Of his poetry was about
$3.50.
As one reads Of the fantastic sums
that change hands In the auction room
today for books, manuscripts. pictures
and other works of art, one Is moved
to morallze upon the difference q
small part Of the price would have
made to the artist In his lifetime.
Chatterton poisoned himself ere he
was eighteen to escape slow starva-
ton. since he was too proud to dis
close his utter penury; and now few
words from his hand would bring
enough to support him for yearsi
In the last year of Schubert's life
six Of his songs were sold to a pub
Usher for 20 cents apiece. When he
died, not thirty-two years old, his un-
published music was valued at So and
his estate was appraised at about SIP.

the publishers for S35. They are said
to have made $3.OOO.OOO out of It'll

EARLY INDIANS
KNEW SURGERY
l)eI'ltN.

While the prehistoric Indians OF
South America have long been rec
oenized as Skillful workers in the
nrecious metals which their country
richly afforded, and as Weavers OF
fine cloths and originatorS of textile
and pottery decorations Of dlstlnc-
tion, their achievements in surgery
ton than they merit. Amputation Of
homes was unknown to them, but tre-
phining was Of common occurrence,
as is still practiced in Bolivia and
Perm. where it reached its highest de-
velopment.
It has also been employed in quite
recent times by various groups Of the
aborigines- a Of both hemisphcres, but
in North America has never been
found north of Mexico.
Some Of the prehistoric tribes Of
this Continent were familiar with the
use of splints, as was recently dis
covered by investigators from the
American Museum of Natural His
tory, excavating in New Mexico, who
uncovered human skeletal remains to
which several splints were still par
italy attached, although the fes-l
had completely disappeared and the
bandages which had held the splints
in place were for the most part in a
crumbling condition. 1t is doubtful
however, whether the Indians OF
South America knew how to use
splints, as so far no positive tesu-
mony on the subject has been found.
In Peru and Bolivia, where stones
from Sings the "bola" or "lliua' and
wooden clubs with heads Of stone
and copper were the common Often
sive weapons, complex fracture of the
skull with depression Of the bony
plates must nave DeeH very Eoliiiiioi''
Fracture Of the skull sometimes re-
shifted in almost instant death, but
many victims survived wounds OF this
sort, and an attempt to remove splln-
ters of bone that pricked the brain,
or to cut out fragments that pressed
upon it, must have become, at an
earlv date. a natural procedure.
