1 The methods of strengthening out the tangle may vary. but the motives re- main true to the faith. The villain | may get tired and commit suicide, | or an irate father may bestow ms forgiveness: but the bride and groom elect get there, somehow.
 Now, the trouble with the whole thing is. the movies aren't true to I life. Most of these things don't l happen in real life; but a great ! many movie fans believe they do and that is where the mischief comes in. Back in the villages we didn't know anything much about all these various phases of life depicted in the movies; and consequently, we were very happy and managed to lead quiet and peaceful lives. The younger generation, thrilled with an adven- ture that is in most cases de- cidedly unreal, looks with longing eyes for things that just don't hap pen. And there you have one req son for some of the unhappiness that exists today.
 All told, however, I bet on Am
 erica. And that is my advice to all young people. Bet on America and
 you cannot lose. I have seen this
 nation go through many trying per
 lOuS, some lIylHS ilidl
 that which We are going
 through now; but in the end
 it has always come out on the
 right side-and so it will this time
 have been in the railroad business
 fifty-sX years and in politics
 sixty-nine. I stumped the country for Fremont, and I had the privilege
 of speaking to Abraham Lincoln.
 So I may be permitted to give a
 bit of advice; but in my career I
 have found that n cone ever takes advice. Surely those who need it
 won't. and those who do not need it may read it and say, What does he know about it?'''
 It was suggested that the senator knew great deal about a great many things; that he is reputed to have never lost interest in current events, and that he keeps informed on world problems.
 Yes, he admitted. "I try to keep going. And, that is the reason I feel so young as I do tonight. If there is one secret for longevity it is that: Keep going for, as I said at the outset, the first eighty-seven years are the most difficult. l ex- pect to find the next eighty-seven quite easy.'

mary and held a heart-to-heart chat with the girls.
 One Of tho subjects that Senator Depcw discussed at Fairmount was literature. When he got in the midst of his talk on books and their makers, ho recalled an incident in the lite of William Makepeaca Thackeray.
 It was at the old Century club in New York. Thackeray. at the time of his visit to America. was inte crested in everything that the Americans were doing. He asked someone what would be dono in the Century club after his lecture. Oh" replied his guide for the occasion. we shall all adjourn 10 the dining room and eat some raw oysters.''
 Raw oysters? exclaimed Thack- cray. 1T never ate one in my life; but if the Americans eat them, well. suppose I shall have to do the same"
 Thackcray and the oyster.
 According to Senator Depew, athey produced some Savin Rock oysters which he describes were "as big as 3 plate"
 Thackeray looked at one of the mammoth bivalves. Then summon, ing courage. he closed his eyes and ato it
 My" confided Thackeray. after wards. "I feel as if had swallowed babyl"
 After Senator Dcpew had finished telling that story at Fairmont, and was on his way Out of the lecture hall, an old lady approached him, and said:
 Senator. I have been an ardent student of Thackeray all my life. I've read everything he ever wrote. and most of his characters are living friends of mine. so wrapt up - his work am I. Your talk was excSed- ingiy interesting. and followed close Iy. especially that story about the oyster: but I'm slightly deaf and couldn't catch every word you said. So. if you don't mind. I'd like to have you tell me what became of that oyster."
 There smiled Senator Depew. ifs new story. Although I told the boys at the White House the other day that there are no more new stor- ies. I believe that once in a while we will run into one. AS matter of fact. since I made that statement I've been pestercd by all sorts of people who want 10 tell me a new story. They como to me and say. I'ye got a new
 
 on the American public 50 years ago. That's the way it goes.''
 While Mir. Depew claims there is a denrth of good new stories. he believes that the natural funny-bone of the American public will soon be struck in the right fashion and that there will be a return to normalcy. in this di- rection.
 ''fhe boys who went overseas left their sense of hunnor somewhere in France. or somewhere else,'' com. ntented tho senator. Now, it wasn't that way after the Civfl war. On the tho American sense of hu- nor immediately after the war be- tween the states was developed to its highest pitch. 1t seems that almost every man who weiit to war at that time saw something funny in camp life. When he came home he had u funny story to tell. and the result was one continual round of laughter.

COBB AND SPEAKER
 IMPROVE BATTING
Tigers and Indians Managers Gain in Race for Hitting HOnors

Chicago, May 2S.-Managtng a ball team seems conducive to heavy hit ting, for TS Cobb. pilot of the Detroit Tigers and Iris Speaker, manager of the Cleveland Indians, are giving Harry Hailman of Detroit a terrific fight for the batting leadership of the American league.
 Cobb boosted his mark from 1895 last week to All for this week, ac- cording to averages released today which included games of last We'd nesday, while Speaker raised his last weeks average of .37S to .40s. Heil- man, although he suffered a batting slump, is fourteen points ahead of Cobb with .425. as computed with .454 wee kago.
 Babe Ruth ran into slump when the Yankees hit the western trail. His batting averages dropped from .37S to .345. He failed to get any four baggers while in Chicago but in the final game at St. Louis on We'd nesday he brought his total string of homers to IS. Shocker was pitching to him.
 Harris of Washington stole two bases while the Senators were tour ing the west and is showing the way to the base stealers with ten.
 Grimes Hitting Hard.
 Grimes of the Chicago Cubs, who is filling Merkle's shoes at first base, struck his batting stride during his first invasion of the east and climbed from 18th place to fifth. in the Ma tionaI league race. Most of last weeks leaders went. into a slump, Rogers Hornsby. the St. Louis star dropping from 457 to 435. However he is safely entrenched at the top of the batters of the league. Snyder. New York catcher, is runnerup to Honrsby with an average of 1885 while McHenry of St. Louis, who was in seventh place week ago is bat ting .36O and is in third position. Marsnville of Pittsburgh dropped to fourth place with .35e; Grimes. who last week hit .326 is pursuing Rap bit' with 1858.
 George Kelly, the New York Giants slugger who is leading the National league home run hitters, failed to add to his total of and now is five behind his American league rival
