VICTORIA
BY DR. FRANK CRANE Copyright, 1921. by Frank Crane)

One of the most diverting books have read this long time is Lytton Stracheys Queen Victoria"
 One beauty of the volume is that its title indicates exactly it's contents which is not always the case with books and it is not pleasant to pick up thinking IS biography and find you are in for homiy.
 A good many criticisms in fact remind of the witty remark of some Frenchman who said that the critics method usually "Apropos of Shakespeare and his art, will proceed to talk about myself"
 Stracheys pages really give US Victoria. And reading them cannot help feeling sorry for the old girl and for all whom fate condemns to the barren lone Illness of royalty.
 For instance, we are given on page 97 glimpse of royal evening party.
 After dinner the company reassembled in the draw lng-room for at her majestys affairs gentlemen denied even the sole remaining refuge of getting drunk
 The queen proceeded to swap patltudes with those present, and the evening moved forward in arid and deadly elegancce.
 Here is her conversation with Mr. Greville clerk of the privy council:
 Have you been riding today Mr. Greville?" asked the queen "No, madam, have not" replied MT. Gre vile. Tt was fine day., continued the queen "Yes' madam, very fine day." said Mr. Grevie. 'I was cold, madam, said MT. Greville.
 S'Your sister, Lady Frences Egerton rides, think, doesn't she?" said the queen. "She does ride times madam" said MT. Greville.
 There was pause, after which Mir. Greville ven tured to take the lead though he did not venture to change the subject Has your majesty been riding ride" answered the queen with animation Has your majesty got nice horse,' said MT. Greville. "Oh, very nice horse, said the queen.
 It was over. Her majesty gave smile and an n- cnation of the head, MT. Greve profound bow, and the next conversation began with the next gentleman When all the guests had been disposed of the Duchess of Kent sat down to her whist while everybody else ranged about the round table Lord Melbourne sat beside the queen and talked often apropos to the contents of of the large albums of engravings with which the round table was covered until 1t was half past eleven and time to go to bed
 May heaven be blessed that not born to the purple, and have nothing to endure than captions of college presidents and Presbyterian church socablesi
 If there's anything along Main Street more asphyx- ating than this royal chapter of horrors have found it.

Psychology and Advertisement

During the last year robberies of mail trucks been reported from dozens of cities. The bold with which these crimes were executed and the huge amounts startling. There had been previous isolated robberies mail bags that nc special attention attracted to them
 But year ago one than usually bold in which the bandits netted huge seems to have set other bandits to thinking that long series of such crimes followed. There was therefore some thing of the same psychology that which few years ago produced long series of suicides by b- chloride of mercury.
 In case of some prominence, it was mentioned, now we think unadvisedly. in the dispatches that that particular drug was used. No doubt that sug- gested wide spread of 1t, and, suppose, suggested suicide to persons of morbid tendency who had not yet brought themselves to that point.
 Bi-chloride of mercury is not pleasant means death. There scores of ways less painful of going hence, but having been the latest and most widely advertised. the which adopted until it became sort a vogue.
 It was due in part advertisement doubt, that there has such of mail robberies. The with which they committed, the made quacy of precauton against them having been de- scribed. appealed to persons of activity in other criminal lines and possibly to who not criminals but fell ready victims in a time of ployInent to the lure which the agencies spread before them in accounts of the early great mail robberes.
 But there will be fewer of them from now on, thanks to a precaution adopted by Postmaster Gen eral Hays providing that mail trucks carrying valu able packages shall be accompanied by sidecar mo- torcyoles carrying armed guards It is thing to hold up city street mail truck, though guarded and quite another to hold up accompany ing detachment of guards.

"Why?' asked her mate.
Because we have always lived In
the woods, where it is quiet and where
the sounds are all low sounds.
"And we have grown to be quiet, too.
We have kept our voices low and soft
and the pine trees have whispered to
us:
That is nice, little Brown Creep

little sounds. When people hear you
they will be so excited and pleased
because they will know they are quite
near you and are actually becoming
friends. For you will become friends
with them. Because you are so trust

"Yes, the pine trees whispered that
to me only the other day. And they
told me that always brown creepers

ended Mrs. Brown Creeper, "for the
woods are great and mighty and they
aren't always shouting about it."
