PROVING THE VALUE
OF LITTLE THINGS
Misplaced and Missing Let
tiers as Examples.

What's In a letter? A good deal, If
the letter is inserted in the wrong
place in news dispatch, or If it Is
missing. So the Manchester Guardian
discovered when it reported that
"Elihu Root died on Tuesday, his
eighty-second birthday, at his home In
New York." 1t was no fault of the
Guardian that in cabling the message
the letter IN" which apparently need
ed a guardian, had been lost. The
message should have read: "Elihu
Root dined on Tuesday, his eighty-sec-
ond birthday, at his home in New
York"
BY being a. W. o. l., this little letter
completely changed the purport of the
dispatch. Had it occupied its proper
place, as did Mr.. Root at the dinner
table, readers of the Manchester paper
would have known that he was not
dead. They would have received as
surance, moreover, that he was able
to sit up and take nourishment. In
deed, If the truth were known, 1t Is
entirely probable that the statesman
fate an extraordinarily hearty meal in
celebrating his eighty-second birthday,
such a meal as no dead man and few
octogenarians have ever consumed.
This is not by any means the first
time that an Grant or wrongly placed
letter has led to misunderstanding and
embarrassment. Commas and other
punctuation marks have caused all
kinds Of mistakes in meaning and not
a few legal tangles, and even spacing
between words has produced dismay-
ing results, as in line of poetry by
Ella Wheeler Wilcox intended to read.
"My soul is lighthouse keeper" The
typographical error which caused the
line to appear, "My soul is light
housekeeper," indicates why poets. as
a rule, die young. But she had no
greater reason for perturbation than
did Mark Twain-a report Of whose
death was also prematurely circulated.
and humOrouSly denied-when the ed
itor Of his first published manuscript
printed the name Of the author as
MARK SWAIN" Not only is it neces-
sary to watch ones FPS and as" but
also ones IT'S and MS" However, it
is fortunate for Mr.. Root and for the
country that mistakes in spelling,
though they may result In an errone-
GUS report Of a mans death, are not
SO serious as mistakes in medicine or
surgery.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

He scrutinized the paper very
carefully and then he looked up and
his face was fun of eagerness

Mrs Northwood scanned the form

1t seemed an eternity to Gerald

she lit the electric lamp on the writ

Birch-Bcrk Canoe Not
Popular With Indians

Though the birch-bark canoe is the
traditional vehicle of the Indians of
northern Canada, few are to be seen
today among those Indians frequent
Ing trading posts or mining camps in
Ontario or Quebec, writes Courtney
Ryley Cooper in. the Saturday Evening
Post There is an art in making a
birch-bark canoe that only the old
timers truly know. Then there is work
to 1t and IAN Indian and unnecessary
work are about as we'll mated as a
bulldog and black jaguar." Far bet
ter, If he can trap enough rats or cor
raj enough ermine skins, he owns a
chestnut canoe with an cupboard mo-.
tor, with which he can scoot along
the streams and lakes in serenity and
swiftness, while the wind waves his
hair and creases grin across his face,
comparable only to an Oklahoma Cher
okee enjoying his oil royalties and
new motor. There's only one thing
more exciting, and that is to stand
close enough to the track to get the
ballast in his eyes as he watches the
transcontinental go by.

Rushing Waters Meet
in Giant WHIRLPOOL

Just before the junction of the
Madre de Dois and the Inambari rivers
In Peru the latter divides into two
arms, with an island some two miles
long between. The right arm, which
Is usually the safer for navigation, is
at times impossible, owing to excess
sive drought that causes the forma-
ton of perilous rapids. Travellers
must In consequence take the wide
left arm, down which the main volume
of the river then flows.
An enormous force of water is shot
into the Madre de Dios; the Inambari
at its left-arm junction is 300 yards
wide, perhaps so feet in depth, and
flows at six knots an hour. This great
mass of water meets the Madre de
Dios, itself 400 yards wide here, at
right angle. The current of the IMAM
bari, being faster than the Madre de
Dios, the former river cuts right across
to the farther bank. There the Imam
bari Is thrown back and surges round
In huge circle 200 yards in diameter,
to join up again with the water flow
Ing to the bank. The whirlpool thus
formed is probably one of the largest
in the world. The circles of seething
water curl inward and downward,
screw-fashion, to their center, which
appears as a great hole, at least six
feet being below the level of the outer
rim.
