FATHER OF LITERARY CLUB,

London's literary associations have
long been bound up with London club

the 'penny-a-linersr foregathered for
evening diversion in the taverns OF
Fleet street and about COvent Garden.
Doctor Johnson was the father of all
literary clubs. Americans today gaze
with awe upon the chair in the Che
shire Cheese, in Wine Office court
Fleet street, which Is supposed to
have been his throne. The fact that
there is no evidence to show that John
son ever visited the Cheshire Cheese
Is Of not the slightest Importance.
wherever It was, dogmatically he took
the chair. and as there was no club or
ganization In his day he constituted
himself president, corresponding sec
rotary, board Of directors and chair
man Of the house committee. When
he began to growl complaints ceased.
Perhaps regarded strictly as n man
Of letters, the doctor has been some
what overrated by posterity. The Ia
nous dictionary, at best, was pom
derous labor, and no one now Is likely
to read for pleasure "Rasselas, Prince
Of Abyssinia." But were he alive to-

factor Of our day. Every season sees
plays of the finest caliber and the
most beautiful scenic achievement
launched In New York and sent out
from there to cities the country over.
We owe 1t to ourselves to see and

sickening to think OF the thousands
who never go near the theater except
to see the latest musical comedy or
review. These are delightful diver
sions, to be sure, but ice cream sodas

Himself and His House.

In CUR school we have delightful
places known as shops. Shops are
places where you can make things.
Most of the time you make things be-
cause the teacher wants you to and
you make them the way he says. or
course that's all right, because you
don't know how really. You have to
be shown, don't you.
However, when you have learned
your way about the place, there al
ways comes a day when you can
make what you like exactly as you
like. If you can.
That day has arrived for the wood
workers. Mr.. Lowe-who presides
over the shops, all the shiny tools,
sweet smelling bits of lumber. inter-
eStiug nails and screws and the magic
machinery that almost talks-had
promised to come to see what Won
ders had been performed. Some
thing special must be forthcoming for
tho great occasion. Each boy was
bent upon startling the bencficent
guest with his handicraft.
II shall make a house" announced
Nitti, his eyes fixed on the vision afar
off. II shall make my own house and
furnish it." Day after day the house
grew under his loving hands. Every
department of good housekeeping was
.justly worked out. Now and then
Sttti asked advice about furnishing a
room OF the advisability OF an
other bath. Advice was free and
listened with gravity and followed
whatever he thought would do. He
powdered the shingled roof with snow

The good or best qualities should be
studied. SO that the cheaper grades

"1t is very difficult to describe in
words the feel or handle Of the diff
ferent fabrics" said a buyer in one
of the big stores, though 1t is easy
enough for the shopper to under
stand after she has tried 1t a few
times. In general, however. I would
say that cotton feels lifeless, soft and
deadlike. Wool feels warm to the
touch. harsh. springy and full of life.
Linen feels cold. smooth, tough and
icathery. Silk has q supple. slippery,

Trader Has a Busy Niqht.
The unimportant thing 70 ME
To you q yotal thing may be.
Trader the Wood Rat.

Trader the Wood Rat was finding
the great man-bird the most inter-
csting thing he had ever visited. The
men who worked on it by day were
repairing il. They had taken off
the broken wing. and they had taken
apart some other parts Of the great
machine. One night Trader discov-
cred in and around the great man
bird many queer, hard things, which
were wholly new to him. He knew
they were hard and not good to eat
because he tried them with his teeth.
Some were bright and shiny, and
some were not. But all we're very
sparkled as he looked at them. He
would take them home to play with.
Now. these things were nuts and
washers and screws and other small
parts to be used in repairing that air.
plane. Because that was such
lcnely spot and there was no one
likely to meddle with things. all the
small parts had been left lying about
when the men stopped work at the
end Of the day. Some We're in small
Some were in the airplane.
Trader first picked out the shinfest
pieces. These were the new parts
that had been brought. One by one
he carried them over 10 MS nom g.
All night long he worked. He emptied
one small box Of screws. They were
bright. shiny screws. and they de-
lighted Traders heart. But Trader
is not a thief like Robber tho Brown
Rat He emptied that little box Of
screws, but in their place he put a
lot Of pebbles. He was trading. He
was trading pebbles for screws.
Back and forth, back and forth be-
tween his home and the great man
bird Trader Travelled all night long.
He not only emptied that little box
of screws. but he emptied another
small box of nuts and washers. This
box he also filled with pebbles. II
was a busy night for Trader. It was
a very busy night.
With the coming OF daylight Trader
remained at home. You know he
doesn't like to be abroad in daylight.
In his home he Eloated over his new
treasures. He kept handling them
and playing with them. When at
last he curled up to sleep he dreamed
Of these treasures and or other
treasures yet t6 be obtained.
What he didn't dream Of was the
trouble he had caused. At first those
screws were not missed. Then one OF
the men at work on the great man
bird needed some of those screws and
went to get them. Such q funny look
as passed over his face when he pick
ed up that little box.
what kind OF joke is this?" he
demanded.
