Doomed.

The doctor looked at Thomas
Tooth and said, at grieves me sore
to hand you out the CHASTITY truth,
but you can't live much more; with
in year, 0 luckless youth, you'll
reach the other shore" The news
was bruited through the grad, soon
all the people knew; their hearts
were aching for the lad whose trip
would soon be through; his doom
was sealed, his fate was sad, if doc
tors words were true Now that
was forty years ago, or maybe
forty-three; the good old doc is 1y-
ing low beneath the willow tree; the
men who journeyed to and fro, no
more on earth we see. New faces
throng the, village street, new names
are on the signs; the villagers we
used to meet are sleeping meath the
vines; in yonder churchyard, grim
retreat, they sleep by eights and
mines. But Thomas Tooth still walks
the pave and has for forty years /;
for him long since the village gave
free rein to sighs and tears, as he
was destined for the grave before
his healthy peers. He still proceeds
with languid gait, and does not
pause to die; We'll have to shoot
him soon or late," the undertakers
cry, ''or he will never fill a crate
and in the boneyard lie." 1t is not
safe for any doc to say, This gent
will croak on August E, at 10 o'clock,
or. science is a joke; the man thus
doomed long years may walk DER

OFFERS $1,000 TOWARD
GREAT STADIUM HERE
Gus Buchholz Asks Erection of
Stands to Seat 100000 to Bring
Athletic Events Here.

Realizing that II Washington is to
prove an attraction for the great
service games the city must provide
every possible facility, there have
been a number of suggestions that
Washington erect a great stadium.
Yesterday those interested in this
move received great encouragement
from Gus BuchholZ, proprietor Of the
Occidental Hotel, who sent a letter
10 Isaac Cans, president of the Cham
ber of Commerce. Offering to sub
scribe $1,000 or more toward the erec-
tion of stadium.
Mr.. Buchholz, in his letter to Mr..
Cans, suggested that a stadium be
built in the National Capital large
enough to house 100000 persons. He
states that Washington is the logical
place for the great service games, and
that If Washingtonians will raise the
money to build the structure there
ought to be no trouble to get Con-
gress to donate the ground.

FAKE ATTORNEYS
FLEECE INVENTORS
Patent Commissioner Warns
of Men Claiming to Practice
Who Are Unlicensed.

Misrepresentation of their activ-
tiles and in some cases downright
fraudulent procedure by INSCRIPTIONS
men who represent themselves to be
patent attorneys was scored by
Commissioner of Patents Thomas E.
Robertson in his annual report made
public today.
Mr.. Robertson declared his strong
support of the Cramton bill, which
would provide large fine for delib-
crate Misrepresentation and a possi-
BILE jail sentence in fragrant cases.
The system of registration initiated
by Commissioner Butterworth is be-
ing ctrCumvented in widely scattered
parts of the country by persons rep
rcsenting themselves to he patent at
torneys, when they are not regis
tered to practice. a number who have
never been registered and Others who
have been disbarred, residing not
only in Washington but in at least
eight widely scattered States, are
now "surrepttiously practicing be-
fore the Patent Office" in defiance OF
their disbarment or without being
registered. and, therefore, without
the protection to inventors provided
by the supervision and restrictions
imposed upon attorneys who are reg
istered, Mr.. Robertson said. They
impose upon inventors who would not
intrust their secrets to them If they
knew they were not registered patent
attorneys.

STANDARDS OF BEAUTY


The fact that standards in the
realms of validity and of morality
are much less vacillating than those
in the realms of beauty calls for ex-
PLANTATION but it does not take from
the fact that the study of the ma
ture of our standards of beauty and
Of their mode of development may
throw light ON the nature OF our
standards of validity and OF moral
ity, and their mode of development.
In turning to this study it may
be remarked in general that the
mere appreciation of beauty, as OF
sunset the mere experience OF an
impulse to act that is at once fol-
lowed by the act; the everyday ac-
ceptance Of facts as indubitable; IN
volve no experience of, or reference
to, standards. Only when we reflect
to some degree, and compare the
present experience with other ex-
perienees of our own, or OF other
men,, do standards emerge.-Henry

LONDON STREET cRlERs GONE
Flower Girls and Ware Vendors Sell
dom Heard Nowadays in British
Capital.

Even in London, most conserva-
tive Of cities, one by one the noted
old street cricrs are dying out.
In Shakespeare's day streets were
musical with this chanting Of trades
men, calling their wares, each his
own particular lifting tune, says the
Detroit News.
The last to be heard in modern
London is that of the lavender ped
lers.
Sweet lavender, sweet lavender
Won't you buy my sweet lavender?
Sixteen branches for penny!
It's still heard on the side streets,
but its days are numbered. It's
easier to walk to drug store and
get moth-balls.
Just as the street criers are dying
out, SO also are the London flower
girls--celebrated in song and story
disappearing.
Once they were to be seen all over
the city-these girls whose ages
ranged from sixteen to sixty. Picca-
dilly circus has been their last
stronghold. But there are signs that
they're being ousted even from this
favored spot. Men, mostly ex-sol-
diers out Of regular jobs, are now
selling flowers.

Something TO

HOLDING ON

Sr<URNING back 10 the blurred pages
4 of the diary which we invariably
carry In our memory, we find tnat ~
many cases failures are traceaDie 70
frequent shiftings from pillar TO post
Few of us, indeed. have the tenacity
TO hold on to one definite purpose
without now and then becoming dis
contented. A little cloud drifts across
our horizon, darkens our vision ana
shuts out the golden sunlight. In q
moment our hopefulness is gone.
we incline at such times to doubt
our ability, so we become dissatisfied,
throw out our hands in despair, ana
nroceed to cast about for another place
where we imagine the going is easier
and the remuneration is larger. anu
so II goes the world over
Employees become rebellious. They
nurse the thought that they are petteF
qualified to run the business than are
their employers.
They would go at one leap TO the
lop. change Anticipated methods, sweep
away the cobwebs, crowd on new sails
and throw the old fogies overheard.
They reason in this absurd manner
simply because they are not qualified
TO think constructively. They know
nothing Of the difficulties Of manage
ment Yet TO their insufficient minds
il appears to call for small ability, Tor
all around them the business machin-
cry is running without Jolt.
To be sure, the employers do lot
of figuring and put in long, wearisome
hours at their desks, but it all seems
very simple and easy And so does
the sailing of an ocean liner.
The captain never appears to be
fully occupied, though he is frequently
found studying charts, taking observa-
lions and scanning the barometer.
Yes, it is comparatively easy for the
man that knows how, but he has spent
the greater part of his life in acquiring
his skill.
He has become proficient by the
hardest kind of work. He saw early
in his career that drifting from place
to place, with no fixed purpose In
mind, was ruinous to success, so he
resolved to take orders, to work and
stick to 1t through every frowning diff
ficulty, mindless of the jeers of his
shiftless companions.
To learn one must study. TIE get
ahead, to achieve, to reach cherished
destination, one must keep pressing
perseveringly toward an honorable

RECIPE FOR GOOD GOLFER

The man who can keep his tenn
per when things are going badly /;
who can make himself do what he
ought to do in spite Of habit and
impetuosity; who can look at ball
while he is hitting it and not be
too eager to look at the ball when
it is in flight; who can be master of
himself for just few seconds at a
stretch so that his body will not
move when it should remain rigid
who can plant his feet firmly on the
ground and keep them there; who
can compel his arms to move in one
direction; who can think how a
thing can be done and not too much
of the dangers which confront him
who will put his trust in gentle
skill rather than in brute force, that
man ought to make good golfer.

British Hero Willing Bishop Of Lon

According to an eminent English
writer of "reminiscences there was
an authoress few decades ago who
wrote and illustrated charming gar

In one of her works she was anxious
TO include a sketch Of the Water
loo Beeches" at Strathfeldsaye, a
clump of trees on the duke OF Well
ington's estate planted IN COM
memoration of the downfall OF the
Corsican, says the San Francisco
Argonaut.
Accordingly she wrote the duke
Of Wellington requesting leave to
sketch the beeches and signing her
self ~. Loudon." The duke, in
spite Of extreme age and dim eye
sight, always insisted on attending
to his own correspondence. He re-
piled as follows

1.-THE INSPIRED coMPosIToR''
One Case In Which Printer Made
Great Improvement In Authors
Manuscript.

Mr.. Winston Churchill is being
extolled by his publisher as para
gon of accuracy because he insists
on revising four sets Of proofs Of
his forthcoming book, but it would
be difficult for any writer to beat
the meticulous care with which
Thomas Campbell revised and
corrected his poems in the press.
On one occasion he actually walked
six miles to his printers, and six
miles back, in order to change a
comma into semicolon. Doubtless
he was justified, for the difference
a punctuation mark can make was
revealed in the case Of one Of the
best-known lines in the English
language. When Gray sent his ia
nous "Elegy' to the printers the
first line read:
The curfew tolls, the knell of parting
day.
The printer, not understanding
the use of tolls" as an intransitive
verb, deleted the comma, so that it
read:
The curfew tolls the knel of parting
day.
When the poet saw the line he at
once recognized its new sustained
melody and adopted the printers

LAUNDRY MARK AND A SHIRT
New York Woman With Good Memory

Many complain about laundries

well known in all the local taverns,
"Ah, Sandy, you were drunk,
