 No"
 "Why haven't you?"
 "Recause I came here first, Olga, to tell you T."
 Don't say if, Jim. I know what it is----it was written all over your face the minute you came. in the door," She sighed. You'd make 8 rotten actor. Call her up, Jim-to- night. Gee, she'll be thrilled"

 "shut up, old dear. It's wonderful to know you care that much, but you're not fooling me-not for a minute. I can see right through you. You know you're crazy In love with her, Jim."
 "You mean to tell me you know what I came here forf" Sure. When I lose my voice I'm going in for mind reading" It was altogether the most aston ishlng situation he had ever found himself in. Suddenly he was on ! his knees beside her bed, fighting against the catch in his voice, un- burdening his troubled mind.
 "Jim," she said when he had fin ished, You're so white I just can't believe you're true. Come here and let me kiss you"
 She did.
 Olga" he said, "they tell me I'm a millionaire. You'll never have to worry about work"
 But that's just what I'm going to do. I still think can sing"
 And I'll see that you get what you're after if I have to buy a show for you"
 Great, Jim, You're going to be my angel, huh? The heavy sugar daddy behind the scenes. You old sport, you. Let me kiss you again.
 When he had gone she rang for the nurse.
 Put out the light, nursie, old dear. And tell me. how much long. CT do have to stay in this damn bed?"
 When 1t was dark she lay with her face to the wall, and cried.

Some Definitions

Asked by correspondent to define
''plot," climax" drama" "inciting
force" 'protagonist" and "antago-
MIST" the Washington Star says:
The word plot" has been defined as
"a struggle and its result" 1t is the
framework around which the story is
built The word drama" means s'the
deed "Climax" is derived from a
word which means "a ladder" The
climax of drama-that is, the major
climax-is the point Of highest inter
est. An "inciting force" is, for ex-
ample, some trait Of character, or
some event which moves the action Of
the drama toward a crisis or the eli
max. The terms ''protagonist" and
antagonist" are applied, respectively,
to the actor who played the chief part
Of the drama, and his opponent.

writes Oliver Scribe In T. P.'s and
Casselps Weekly, SIS that the spirit Of
man never changes. The passion for
racing is as old as the Roman cir
cuses. The rivalry of the four fac
lions, distinguished by their racing
colors, used to lead to early race
gang scenes. All Rome today, writes
Juvenal, is in the circus. A roar
strikes upon my ear which tells me
that Green has won; for had 1t lost,
Rome would be as sad and dismayed
as when the consuls were van
pushed in the dust Of Cannae.' The
notorious Emperor Caligula, who was
himself shamelessly unscrupulous
enthusiast for the Greens, was kept

seats in the circus for the following

EEXAGGERATION HAS
ITS PROPER PLACE
Simple Truth Not AlUays
Convincing.

No man has sufficient ability to
comprehend or even to envision the
whole body Of truth. And II the
world contained man of such abh-
sty, 1t isn't at all probable that he
would be able to reveal the whole
truth to those about him.
Each man sees just so much OF
the truth. as he is able to compre-
bend. Let US suppose this to be one
tenth Of the truth. Having seen this
small part of the truth, he is eager
to share his vision with his fellows.
At once two great difficulties APP
pear in the way. The man hasn't
the knack of reducing his vision to
words that are sufficiently eloquent
to tell the whole of his story. And
his listeners haven't the ability to
absorb all of the little he offers them.
The result Is that the first mans
One-tenth truth is reduced to some
thing less than one-half Of per cent
of the whole by the time it is estab-
lshed in the minds of those who
hear him.
The limitations of speaker and lis
tener are SO obvious and so univer-
sally acknowledged that men have
found 1t necessary to deal in untruth
In order to reveal what, is true.
You will hear it said that simple
statement Of fact Is more impressive
than any exaggeration. This is not
true, except among scientists and
persons Of unusual intelligence. The
average mind is impressed only by
superlatives.
One ordinary person will say to an
ether: SIT was the funniest thing !
ever saw. / nearly died laughing"
This isn't the truth, but it serves.
The nearer understands that the show
was funny. But the ordinary person
could not have revealed the truth to
his hearer by saying: 'Tt was an
amusing show"
Those who get living by proselyt-
ing or by denouncing seldom confine
themselves to the simple truth. If
they did they never would win con-
vert or persuade anybody to doubt.
They multiply the truth by six sim
ply because they know that the mind
oe the reader or listener, having
Mttle capacity, will divide it by six

Totem Idea Common

The word totem is derived from the
Chippewa Oboteman. Among print
tive people everywhere each family
had it's supposed primitive guardian
spirit, and 1t was thought of as being
bird, animal or inanimate object
and sometimes was depicted as the
spirit of an animal that looks like one
Of prehistoric times.
The symbols on the totem pole are
read downward. Generally at the top
is imposed the family crest This
totem idea was common among near
ly all American Indians, and. strange
to say, the same idea is found among
the early Egyptians Each Egyptian
canton had it's totem Masonic News.
