Applause Gone Wrong

The listener always gets in wrong when he flies to a con- clusion before the talker has fully completed his statement. This habit quite often causes contretemps when an audience applauds before the speaker finishes his remark.
 The story is told of this sort of break in a Kansas town when a noted lecturer declared that the editor of the paper of that town was the biggest liar in town. ' The audience roundIy cheered the remark and then was crest fallen when the lecturer concIud- ed what he started to say, He added:
 You made him this way He lies when you are born, when you graduate and marry and caps the climax when you die by tell ing what a saintly life you had lived. The only way you can square yourself IS to go tomorrow and pay him years subscrip- tion. Then 1t IS said nobody applauded. -'Ex.

Yucatan Is the Egypt of Am erica. As early as the begin ming of the Christian Era the people there built stone struct- ures of excellent masonry. true angles and smooth vertical faces. They had astronomical observa- tories, an accurate calendar and a better system of numerals than the Romans. When the people of Northern Europe were living in reed huts the Mayas of Yuca- tan seem to have been on the verge of true civilization. The cause of their decline is unknown. When the conquistadores came, soon after the year 1500. their temples. palaces and cities were in ruins. Youths Com- panion.

A Good Sermon

Marcus Aurelius offered special thanks to those friends who had made their gifts and contrlbu- tions to him.in terms of candor, fairness. justice. steadfastness. courage, dignity, benevolence and simple piety. rather than to those who made gifts to him in material form. From those who had bidden him to be man to the full height of his stature, he received most. In your own ex- perience have you not been most grateful to those who have help ed you to become better, more courageous. more kindly and more useful to your fello wman?- Tom Dreier in Forbes Magazine.

MANN, HOUSE
LEADER, DIES
Veteran Congressman Dies
Following Noted Career In
Legislative Halls

WASHINGTON. Dec. Death
last night ended the legislative
career of Representative James R.
Mann of the second Illinois district,
long rated as a giant of the House.
Returning here two weeks ago for
the opening of the special session
Of Congress, Nj. Mann, who had
served his people for upwards of a
quarter Of a century, took part in
the preliminary work of the House
A week age. however, he vas forced
to stay at home because of a cold
which he failed to snake off. His
condition at first was not regarded
as serious, and 1t was not until yes
terday afternoon, after pneumonia
had developed. that it became
alarming.
Minority leader of the House dur
ing the eight years of Democratic
control, Representative Mann saw
the speakership go to Gillett of
Massachusetts, when his party again
came into power, but If the failure
OF his party in caucus to select him
as speaker left any tinge of bitter
ness with the veteran member, his
friends never saw an indication Of
1t. Declining then the proffered
leadership of the majority. Repre-
sentative Mann thereafter continued
to exercise a power equal. il not
greater, than that of the speaker
himself, as chairman of the COM
mittee of committees, which con-
trolled the makeup Of the House
committee.
Funeral arrangements have not
been concluded at an early hour to-
day, but it was understood services
would be held at the late represen-
~tative's home in Chicago, and that
Mr.. Mann would be buried beside
his son there. who died four years
ago.

LAW AND LABOR UNIONS.

When Samuel Gonpers can quote
the Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court and the leader Of the
New York bar to the effect that power
ty is a disadvantage at law. no argu-
ment is needed. II is not wholly or al
ways a disadvantage. Juries generally
favor poor men; but the possibilities
OF delay that clever counsel cherish
favor rich men and great corporations.
Speed and simplicity should be sought
in judicial business. This is universal
ly conceded.
MIR. Gompers is on less certain
ground when he argues against legis-
lative interference with labor unions
not because the community wishes
more lawmaking. in a gush OF statu-
tory overproduction In forty-nine capt.
tails, but because he has no practical
alternative TO suggest in a condition
that unremedied abuses have made
critical.
The veteran president of the fed
Grafton admits the existence OF such
abuses. He does not think labor unions
should fine members $1,000, or fine
employers for not attending union
meetings. He does not think 1t right
that contractors should be forced into
bankruptcy by shifting labor costs
Confronted with the device of Snow
ball strikes" he admits that there
should be approximate stability" in
wages. He does not approve breach
Of contract by labor unions. or the
lepudiation by plumbers union OF
an agreement with the Lockwood
committee to abate trade abuses, or
the breaking up of good moulds to
prevent second use. He finds II
wrong and ludicrous" to fine Ger
mans and Danes for working on st
Patricks Day. But he would not in
woke the law; he would leave such
matters fer tho unions themselves tc
correct. Meanwhile he counsels pa
