Joke on Famous Composer.

A certain newly rich person with more money than culture called on M. Massenet and said that he had seen his photograph in paper and had read that he was "a clever pianist" Would NJ. Massenet play few pieces at little party? He would be well paid of course
 The world-famous musician was greatly amused "Certainly!' he re- piled. What night?" "Thursday." "Thursday? What pity! l am en- gagged on Thursday. But I can give the address of friend-an excellent pianist, who can play all the modern dances beautifully"
 So saying, Massenet gave the un- fortunate newly rich the address of aint-Saens! Obviously the victim of Massenet's joke had never heard of Saint-Saens, for he called on the dis tingufshed composer and was promptly kicked out. Saint-SaenS brOoded over the insult for some hours before he saw the joke.

BeIonc in HiGn Places.

As with the evergreens so it is with all trees that dare the heights. Some, like the hemlocks, remain far below. The little gray birches stop in the pastures of the foothills. The high, clear air of the range Is not for them. The yellow birches fare on to the lower slopes of the high hills There they quit; but the canoe birches go on. The great trees of the lower reaches of the powder path are these, their paper-white bark showing through all dark woods of the north Then climb valiantly. It is as If the trees were thrilled with that eager desire to reach the summit which possesses all mountainsern.

FEARED BAD LUCK PERIODS
Aztecs Believed That Evil Fates Ruled World During the Last Five
 Days of Year.

The Aztec calendar consisted of year of IS months of 20 days each, and closing period of five days, into which It was believed all the bad luck of the year was crowded. No one started upon journey during these five days, for fear some misfortune would befall him; no woodcutter ven tured into the forest to hew wood during this period, lest wild beasts should devour him; the houses were left unswept; the housewives made no pottery vessels; children so un- fortunate as to be born on one of these five days were by that very fact of their lives.
 The next, and among the Aztecs the only time period higher than the year, was the XihuitlmOlpia, or cycle of 52 years. It was held that at the close of one of these periods would some day come the destruction of the world
 On the last night of the Xihuiu molpia fires were extinguished on the hearths, and the inhabitants of Tenochtitlah (City of Mexico) moved out of the city and took up positions on the surrounding hills, waiting feverishly either for the destruction of the world or, in the event of sun rise the dawn of another Xihuitlm0l- pia. Once the sun had arisen, how ever, great were the rejoicngS Fires were rekindled and the crisis was over for another 52 years.

AN ARAB EDITOR
AN ARAB EDITOR

From an African Interlude, by Gertrude Elm
 erson, in Asia Magazine.
 One afternoon we set out to take tea with an Arab sheriff. It seemed that not only was this man a direct descendant of the Prophet, and thus of great religious prestige and infu- ence, among his own people, but he was also an exceedingly shrewd manipulator of politics. In the early days, after the establishment of Anglo-Egyptian control over the Sudan, he had shown evidences of being potential en- emy. But someone had conceived the brilliant idea of making him editor of a subsidized Arabic newspaper, and the sheriff had respond ed with surprising elasticity to the new con ditions
 He had made one memorable journey to London to take part in the great procession held in honor of Armistice Day, and he was a man of practical knowledge. He understood, he said, that I was fellow editor, and that the journal I represented concerned itself ex- clusively with the east. It had occurred to him that it would be a good thing if we should exchange publications. Each of us might thea reprint excerpts from the others paper. I as- sured him it would give me the greatest pleas ure in the world to arrange for such change, but since he did not know any more English than I, the rest of the staff of Asia, knew of Arabic, I feared the exchange would be unfortunately of little mutual bene- fit. An, the sheriff replied triumphantly, he had sonl And this son was studying Eng fish, so that, as soon as he became little more proficient, he could edit an English section which his father planned to add to the paper. The son was now in the third grade. He would have him called in, so that I might talk with him little and see how well he already spoke the English tongue. As for Asia, surely m the great and enlightened country of the United States, it would not be difficult to find some one who could translate Arabic for us! But there was one other point to be taken into consideration, I put forward tentatively My paper was a monthly, with only 12 copies in the whole year, whereas his was daily. As I was about to point out the difficulty of using in Asia many clippings dealing with the Sudan, my fellow editor interrupted me to assure that, in spite of the apparent discrepancy in value of our respective journals, he really asking me for money whatever. He might suggest however, that we be good enough to advertise his paper and push it's sale as much as possible in America.

MORGAN'S RAIDERS
le Louisville Courier-Journal.

From the Louisville Courler-J ournal.
 Between fifty-nine and sixty years have passed since John Hunt Morgan made the Ohio raid which resulted in his capture and temporary imprisonment in Ohio. Fifty of Morgans raiders at the Lexington Country club attending the annual reunion, which attests their romantic devotion to their leader; a leader whose career constitutes 8 romantic chapter of American history.
 Much is heard nowadays about the dull ness of war; about the dssillusionment of young men who enlist for adventure, only to be bored by deadly routine behind the lines as cogs in the vast machinery of war, or to endure deadlier routine in the trenches, relieved now and then by stimulating, If hideious, events in no mans land or within the enen1y's lines.
 In the day of General Morgan and in the theater of his activities. to enter army was to enter battles Hardships were numerous, but life in the saddle as one of Morgan's men was the life of cavaierl. If there were disillusioned youths in the ranks of Morgan's raiders nobody has heard of them. Three score years hardly shed glamour over the past that misleads survivors. Before the last two score years and ten had been ad- ded to the life of the grizzled "beau sabreur" who sleeps upon a World war soldiers cot in corridor of the Lexington Country club and dreams of Boots and Saddles he was as ready as he is today to declare war the outstanding beautiful adventure in the life of a red-blooded man. He was then as he is today, sincerely sorry for the man whose life passed without the opportunity to be soldier, as well as contemptuous of the man who, having the opportunity, did not don the uniform and follow the flag.
 War, once, like the chase, the business of soldiers, has become, like business the project of nations. Changes greater than those time recorded between the period of Richard the Lion Hearted and Saadin and the period of Morgan have occurred since Morgan's day. Surviving soldiers of the Civil war live over in memory events of battles which were fought upon the principles ana with the methods which governed battles in the early period of firearms as the success sors of the bow and and the cross-bow.
 Slaughter is slaughter in one period as well as in another, but in the period when Morgans raiders rode hard to daring exploits dullness and routine were not characteristic of military service. There was no multitude of young men, first physically examined then trained and finally sent where the on.y glimpses of fighting they had were in head lines of newspapers.

PENNSYLVANIA'S NEW SENATOR
 CANNOT PLAY POKER

At last there is something new under the sun. Maj. David A. Reed, who recently took the oath of office as successor to Senator Crow of Pennsylvania, informed newspaper correspondents that he does not play golf and does not know how to play poker.
 Senator Reed is young man for United States senator, being only 41 years old and is a veteran of the World war. He still fur ther astonished his interviewers by saying that he expected to keep quiet and do little talking until he becomes famliarized with his duties man of Senator Reeds type in the United States Senate He is willing to learn and is not addicted to pastimes which have done great deal to impede legislation, if reports from Washington are true. A member of Congress who doesn't propose to talk until he has something to talk about and knows where of he speaks is type of statesman who will bear watching. Since it appears that Senator Reed stands good chance of being elected to office in November, the nation will probably not be deprived of his services.
 If Major Reed of Pennsylvania will not enl- ulate his namesake, Jim Reed of Missouri, he ought to make useful and distinguished mem- Der of the upper house, but he will have to acquire at least a nodding acquaintance with poker If he hopes to become popular senator
