1t cannot be said that a light OF
literature went out with the passing
Of Marie Corelli, but It Will be impos-
sible for the historian who essays to
describe the literary taste of her gen.
Grafton to ignore the author Of "The
Romance Of Two Worlds" Her ap.
peal was not to the intellectual elite,
and get she was one of the favorite
novellsts of Queen Victoria, was found
fascinating by the exquisite Elizabeth
Of Austria, was read by the elegant
Alexandra Of England. This royal
favor denotes nothing as TO the ar
tistry of her work, but It signifies the
remarkable catholicity of her appeal,
declares the New York Evening World.
The melodramatic quality, the weird
touch of mystery, were enough to
have placed her among the best SELL
ers" But her vogue has been due in
large measure to the splrituallsm
which permeates her novels.
The queen In the castle and the
peasant in the cabin are alike In a
hunger for Impressions of the life he
yOnd. Miss Corelli minIstered TO this
desire TO penetrate the veil. What.
ever the critics may think or say, they
cannot deny her the distinction that
few among the greater artists have
shared, of numbering her followers
from the man with the hoe to the
woman with the tiara and the crown.

"Nonbreakable cigarso

At Lehlgh university, Professors
James Long and Henry Ullman of the
chemistry department have succeeded
in making practically a nonbreakable
cigar. The secret is in the hinder
made from tobacco leaf stems, which
are first pulverized and made into a
paper. When used the cigar does not
break easily in the pocket. The idea
will provide for the use Of what was
formerly considered waste In the cigar
industry. The cigar makers are al

PUssYs PLEASURE
"a ,MArY .cRAlIAM. RoNgp

They all made q great fuss over
Pussy. There were two boys and one
girl and a mother and a father and
all Of them liked Pussy.
Pussy considered herself a very
lucky cat. She was petted and she
was given such good things to eat.
Pussy had not been very happy when
she was a little kitten.
She had been very young when she
had had to look out for herself.
Aud looking out for herself was not
easy.
Many a time Pussy had been hungry.
Then when she found a home soon
she was left alone In big house with
out a soul to bother about her.
She thought surely the family had
not gone away for good.
She didn't believe they could be so
cruel as to leave her.
She was certain they must have
gene or on a very short trip and must
have left food for her.
But no. there was no food and no
family, and then she realized the hor.
rible truth.
They had gone away for long time
Ia summer at least and had Just left
Pussy to shift for herself, which meant
all sorts of horrible things.
They even had not let her out. Well,
II was something hard for Pussy to be-
lieve and It almost made her lose her
faith in human nature, for she had
believed the family had really cared
for her.
But she found a way out and once
more she had to look after herself.
One day when she was wandering
about looking very sad and wretched
and when some children had been teas
ing her little girl named Ada saw
her and said:
"oh. Daddy, may take that little
homeless pussy with me7'
1t was perfectly plain to see that

Ada Loved Her More Than Anyone
Else.

cat. Her fur looked bad and the
lack of food and proper esre had made
Pussy look pretty shabby.
She was really ashamed Of her ap-
pearance and yet there was nothing
she could do.
She gave a little bit of wall which
was her way of saying:
"oh, please take me homel"
Ada's daddy said she could take her
home, and take her home she did.
She was given such nice warm milk
and such warm and comfortable bed.
Soon her fur became nice again and
she took care of herself, too.
The good food she had made her
feel well and made her look well.
Yes, they all made great fuss over
Pussy. The two boys and the mother
and the father all petted Pussy and
made her feel so at home.
But Ada loved her more than any
one else did.
The great pleasure Of Pussy's life
was to curl up in Ada's lap after a
nice dinner and purr and think of the
difference between this life and the
life she had lived before Ada had
taken pity on her and loved her and
petted her.
Yes. that was Pussy's greatest pleas
ure-to think of the difference between
those days and the ones she now lived !

Avoid stimulants. Avoid the sleepless

Caffein is classified as poison.
Like stryehnin, it is sometimes given
by doctors in cases Of heart failure.
The average cup Of coffee contains the
usual dose of caffein administered in
such cases. The alarming foolishness Of
taking this poison regularly into the
