HIS TROUBLES VERY REAL
Nervous Man May Rise to the Ocea-
SIGN at Times, but He Suffers,
Nevertheless.

How often have you been surprised
by the person who is Railways worry
ing! How astonished you were when
this person, who spends all his days in
almost morbid fear OF "what mas
happen" suddenly rallies to the crisis
and shames the afOretime ScotferS
You then experience a burst of ad
miration for the nervous one; you
say that he merely appeared to be
unhealthily apprehensive and coward
ly, but that the defect was superficial.
and that deep down Is his real self
and very stout stuff. Do you think
so? asks the villager. How you are
fooled! 1t is true that many Of those
who build innumerable troubles from
q material which, unlike Oil, shows no
signs Of giving out, afford excellent
accounts of themselves when there is
genuine cause for genuine fears. But
1t is not that these people are always
made of enduring stuff beneath the
veneer Of timidity; rather it Is the
contrary. They have come through
such agonies in imagination that the
actual experience proves infinitely
easier to bear than were the dreams
Of it; the power Of suffering Is worn
thin and the fact seem less than the
Pigment. No loss Of fortune, for
example, can bring in its train so much
misery and melodrama, such exper-
fence of starvation and social degrade
ton, as the investor of a "%reconstruc-
ton period" lives through in contem-
plating the bankruptcy Of those COM
panies in which he holds stock. No
illness when 1t comes car be so pain
full as that which the neurasthenic
has suffered in his craven fancies; he
thinks each week he 10 about to have
appendicitis; he does not have appen-
dicitis; he has a few feet Of his colon
removed, and 1t seems a small matter.

souls a t~housandfold more Man ever

not only do the fearful die many
deaths before their end, but they die
many deaths more dreadful than the

cies? A fine thing, replies the stole,

He LIKES LEN|N
Partisan Concierge Had Goot
Word for Russian Tyrant.
Must Be Something in Him to Admire,
II 1t Is Only Difference
to the LowIy.

After all, Mr.. Lenin must be m
thing of a man, for a Partisan con-
cierge after IL years speaks well Of
him. For three years this concierge
had not the slightest cause Of COM
plant, remarks Philip Hale in the
Boston Herald. Mr.. Lenin and his
wife were exacting, never
naughty; they never forgot themselves
so far as to complain of any lack of
attention; they were considerate, at
times deferential.
What do the janitors Of apartment
houses in Boston really think of their
subjects on the floors above? T'hacke-
ray confessed that he was afraid Of
the men that stood behind the guest
chairs at dinner. Mr.. Herkimer John
son, making a weekend visit, never al
lows a valet to open his suitcase. We
once heard him say: Eyes, sir" to a
butler. It is true that this particular
butler was an imposing person., far
more imposing than the host. This
reminds us Of a pleasant incident in
the social life Of Boston. 1t was
after midnight and the guests had
>upped well. AS they we're leaving
the butler stood by the front door. An
eminent physician shook him heartily
by the hand and in a tremulous voice
thanked him for the entertainment.
The Partisan concierge is a happier
a than the Boston %janitor. The for
mer often sees and smells that delect-
able dish, onion soup, on his table,
onion soup Of a quality that cannot be
found in any hotel or restaurant in
Boston. His daughter often goes on
the stage, and after a year has her
sumptuously furnished apartment.
The concierge then glows with pater-
nal pride he even speaks we'll OF her
friend. the count. All in all, the
concierge Is a nor human being than
the j%anitOr.
We have spoken of Mr.. Herkimer
Johnson calling a butler "sir." He
brought to mind Artemus Ward in
London, when a policeman collared his
fat friend. "'It's only a At, Sir Rich.
ard said. 4 always call the perlice,
Sir Richard. 1t pleases them to think
I'm the victim Of a d%eloosion, and they
always treat me perlitely.'" We are
afraid that the butler wondered why
Mr.. Johnson had been invited to spend
the weekend, why the host treated
him with marked consideration at
table. Little did the butler know that
Mr.. johnson was highly esteemed as
a sociologist throughout the civilized
world that he had been decorated by
foreign governments; that he was a
fellow Of many scientific societies,
that only in Clamport, on the Cape. is

INDIANS PREFER THE
SHOES Of WHITE MAN
Moccasin Making Soon May Be
Lost Art and Specimens
Are to Be Collected,

Because Of a scarcity of proper
leather from which to manufacture
footwear, and the availability Of store
shoes, Indian mOccasin making will
soon be a lost art.
Throughout the Northwest the fringe
bordered and bead-bedecked Indian
moccasin is rapidly being substituted
by the white mans shoe. The high
laced shoe Is a ~favOrite with both
sexes. For hunting and fishing the
1927 warrior" prefers a hob-nailed
knee-length logger's boot.
The aboriginal mOccasin fabric was
moose hide for cold weather in the
Northwest; buffalo hide with the hair
on for winter on the plains; buckskin
for all general purposes, and later on
beef hide in place of the disappearing
skins.
In n fabric or the other were dis
tinct tribal models with historical
events drawn in beads. The sQuaws
were the recorders Of history by their
moccasin bead work. The Grow, Sioux
and Blackfoot Indian shoes possessed
q hard rawhide sole to ward off stub
BILE grass and pebbles.
In the snowy regions Of the North
west the mOccasin had soft soles that
would admit Of the use Of the snow
shoe.
Tourists who have been searching
for various makes OF moccasins de-
clare some Of the Northwest tribes
have entirely eliminated moccasins.
That the historical shoe Of the Amer
lean native may not become extinct,
the University Of Washington will at
tempt to collect specimens of moe
casins as made by every aboriginal
tribe on the North American CONT
nent. An expedition will leave this
week to begin the collecting Of the
footwear.

Dante and Beatrice.

Although the love Of Dante for
Beatrice often is quoted as a type Of
earthly attachment, both fine and
rare, both Dante and Beatrice mar
ried others, Dante having four chill
dren by his wife. Beatrice died when
she was twenty-four. In all the poet
saw her but three or four times in his
life. the first time when she was eight.
He never wOoed her or dreamed Of
marrying her. She was to him mere
ly a symbol for everything that was
good and beautiful, and this symbol
izing began when the two were chill
dren and the grave youth was taken
to her fathers house by his own par
ents on a visit. That she cared any
thing for him beyond a careless
friendship or the careless regard one
has for a seldom-met acquaintance is
doubtful.
Her full name was Beatrice Por-
tinari, and she died In 1890, Dante
taking a wife two years later. In
speaking Of her, Dante said: II saw
her at about the end Of my ninth year.
Her dress on that day was Of a most
noble color, a %subdued and goodly
crimson, girdled and adorned In such
sort as best suited with her tender
age. At that moment l saw most
truly that the spirit Of life which hath
its dwelling in the secretest chamber
Of the heart began to tremble so vio-
lently that the heart pulses Of my
body began to shake herewith"

Revival Of Ancient Order In Peru,

The government Of Peru, on the eve
Of the centenary celebration, revived
the Order of the Sun. There are four
classes of membership, the grand
cross, grand officer, commander and
officer. Admission and promotions
will take place only on July % of each
gear. the national holiday Of Peru.
The name Of this order dates back
to the Inca empire, one Of the oldest
civilizations in the New World. Men,
bership can be granted to Peruvians,
military and civilians, who have rem
dered themselves worthy Of distinc-
lion, and to foreigners who have made
patent their interest in Peru.

Cumulative reports from various
parts Of Russia tell OF a rapidly grow

this movement is almost becoming

mass psychology.
Leaders Of the communist parties

The people are returning to the
churches. are again being married In

The Bolshevist press Is laundering

OF the church has been so strength

that the communists are chary about
resorting to rigorous measures.
