SONG MADE A HTT

EuDnsher Had Refused le, But Pub
 lished It After Marrying Author
 Col Bloom, now in Congress, once a song publisher, tells this personal story to illustrate the folly of the business man who is too cocksure that a thing can or cannot be done. Some years ago, beautifully young woman came to him with two or three songs she had written and desired to have published. Sol lis tened to them several times, but doubted whether their publication would pay. Still he enjoyed talking to the attrac- tive authoress about them and made several trips to her home to have her play over the compositions on the piana- forte. Finally, after several of these conferences, he remarked to tie love ly creature:
 ITO be perfectly frank, I'd rather marry you than publish your songs. I believe it would be a better proposition in every way"
 After they had for some time been happily married, Sol's charming wife suggested:
 T wish you would publish one of my songs after all-even if it doesn't pay. I'd just like to see one of my own songs in print"
 Rather than fuss about it, Sol reluc- tGntly published one of the songs. And To, it was a big hit Something like 50,OO0 copies were sold.
 Since then," says Sol, ''when I hear 8 book publisher or theatrical producer. or in fact any other business man

Quiet Mortals

If you are a rather quiet mortal as good many of your friends are sure to he great takers, writes G. w. Hyde in the Boston Transcript. They delight in you as listener; they pour into you as into deep basin their trou- bies and perplexities, their escapades, their joys and their gossip, everything that concerns them, manding your in- terest and sympathy. After a while you realize what your value is to them sometimes you resent being regarded as q sponge; oftener you feel slightly flat tered occasionally you philosophically remind yourself that no friend is all in all, but that each is of value and pleasure to you for some particular side, that your interest and sympathy may well enough be the thing they like in you just as you enjoy this one for her love of outdoors, that one for her love of books, and anotlier for her political ideas!
 The talk is not always interesting, but when it is not, one is always able to dream delightfully."- through it, man. aging, however, to preserve an appear arlce of attentiveness. This is done by waking up at points where a simple query is needed, making it, and then as tho flood starts again with renewed strength, losing oneself gently in One's own thoughts, till the next moment. A little practice in this makes perfect. It is especially easy when yon are strolling with the talker, or perhaps knitting or sewing at her side.
 I have a friend with whom have walked miles at a stretch. Through beautiful country we strode on, and from the time we started till the time we reached our destination, her tongue kept pace with her feet. It was tired listening I ceased to. And all the time

These spines are subject to wear and tear, but from time to time the fish sheds them and replaces them by new ones.

FUTILE TALKERs.

Takers and futile persons are com monly vain and creduIous withal .for he that talketh what he knoweth win also talk what he knoweth' not; therefore set it down that habit of secrecy is both polite and moral; and in this part it is good, that mans face gives his tongue leave to speak for the discovery of a mans self by the tracts of his counte- nance is great weakness, and betray- ing by how much it is many times more marked and believed than mans words.--Francis Bacon.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-17

I might gaze at my leisure about me as we walked on, at the farmhouses we passed, at the mountains we were ap- preaching, damp and green with the young green of spring, at the river we sometimes came in sight of and crossed through old covered wooden bridges-I could gaze in delightful silence. at it all and ,dring it in, while she talked on and on. Wonderful display of energy. But as long as was relieved of the neces- sity of talking why should care?
 All of such takers do not, though, in- duce the patient compliance of the sponge. I am thinking of a friend, an- other marvellous lingual spate, who in- spires me with revolt; with the desire to be. heard myself now and then. But my plans must be laid ahead, thought out in time What want to say must be on the tip of my tongue, ready to gush forth in a loud and insistent, com bative voice; there must be no pause, no loop-hOle for her or she will enter immediately and I am lost. But if such loophole should perforce occur I have folnd that a quick, fierce ges- turea is valuable in arresting her; I have learned to shoot forth my hand almost in her face, or to shake my fist, or snap my fingers almost in her nose. This seems to have the effect of stem ming the outburst, which is only dam ming up for another flood. Or to call out her name firmly and say 'listen" or 'l0ok," is sometimes efficacious. All this is wearing, of course, and of little satisfaction for all, for I know she does not really hear what I am saying. By sheer force of will and a little ehicanery have made her cease for minute, but in her eyes I see biankness, the blankness of one who is thinking of what she has just said, or what she will say next.

ONE OF OLDEST FISHES
The Deadly Sting.Ray Possible Anees-
 tar Of Finny Tribe

While the rays, including that we'll weaponed species, the sting-ray, are re- lated to the sharks in structure, they differ greatly in outer aspect, as well as in their means of attaek and defense. Perhaps this difference in appearance is less to be wondered at when we learn that the sharks and rays are considered to be the oldest fishes in existence and probably the stock whence all other fishes were derivd. In both sharks and rays the skeleton remains cartilagenous throughout life, instead of hardening into bone. Other eharactertstie features lafe the three valves of the heart, the spiral valve in the intestine, the .ab- sence of an air bladder, and the large de- tached eggs. Most of this group have the mouth on the lower side. &
 The sting-ray is the most highly spe. cialized member of the group. Its long, slender tail looks like living whip, but it is far more terrible instrument than even a cast-o-nine-tails or a Rus sian knout. It is not only capable of in
