KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
By JOSEPH JAsTRow.

of being superior to a child. And If a
lady falls, your gallantry comes to your
aid and you offer her heroic helping
hand.
Thus recognizing how subtly our
rival and conflicting emotions are
aroused by similar situations, we are
prepared to find that, according to
ones sympathies and upbringing. some
will scott where others pray, and some
will smile where others weep. The
most treacherous ground is that of the
tender sentiments. If the sentimental
situation seems to you tawdry and
sloppy and Soft-Such as you would
never be caught in--you either resent
it or are bored or take 1t as an occasion
for mirth. It is meant to be something,
If not sublime at least impressive; but
falling to move you, you scorn it with a
superior laugh.
Laughing at the wrong place comes
under this formula; but 1t may do so
more subtly and more vaguely than the
simpler cases have mentioned. It
may also be cruder, as when an audi
ence rags q speaker or boots an actor.
And at the Hoboken Theater, in which
are given old-tine plays-which in
their day, when the audience was naive
and sympathetic, made them weep
the audience INDUCES in superior
chuckles and goes there to enjoy that
emotion. Yet real laughter at the
wrong place appears when you lack
the understanding to appreciate the
sentiment, the mood, the situation that
is beyond you. You may be bored or
you may laugh, but the laugh Is then
on you.

Famous Woman Bosses of History
Madame Roland. Who for Time, Guided the
French Revolution.
S. r.. GLASS.

Once little Marie Jeanne Phlipon
went with her grandmother to call
upon a lady of title.
why ever" she asked afterwaro,
did our hostess sit in an Armenian
and we on stools?"
She could not understand and she
resented the social distinctions Whlch
enabled nobility to treat the bourgeoise
guests with condeScension. She was
born democrat.
Through the influence of powerful
friend, her father and mother some
years later were invited to stay week
at the Palace of Versailles, where the
great event each day was to watch
the royal family dine. After few
days, Nine. Phlipon asked her daugh-
ter: Are you pleased with your visit,
Manon?"
Marie Jeanne responded: Eyes. pro-
vided It soon comes to an end, but In
q few days my loathing for these peo-
pie will become uncomfortable"
This girl lived to become the cele--
brated Nine. Roland, chief founder and
director of the Girondist party, who
for time guided the whole movement
of the French revolution. Her whole
career was one of unexampled nobility.
She is one of the worlds great hero1nes.
She was beautiful and had many
suitors as a young woman, but at rs,
of her own will, married Roland de la
Platriere, a government inspector OF
factories at Amiens, a man 20 years
her senior. 1T do not love him." she
told q friend, but I expect to find
happiness in the inexpressible charm Of
contributing to his"
The truth is they we're one In politi-
cal thought and sympathy. When the
revolution broke out they were de-
lighted.
Roland's duties took him to Paris.
They arrived at q moment when some
thing like a constitutional monarchy
had been established, but among the
lower orders a vast discomfort was
seething RobeSpierre and the other
young Republicans, who felt that the
purpose Of the revolution had not yet
been accomplished, formed the habit
Of dropping into the apartment of the
Rolands In the Hotel Britannique.
Nine. Roland soon had a salon which
met regularly four times q week. Quiet
~, unostentatiously she dominated 1t.
It was the beginning Of Ia Gironde.
Helpless Louis XVI formed a ministry
of patriots" Roland became minister
Of the interior. Now, indeed, was the
formerly humble Marie Jeanne Phlipon
risen high. She and her husband NOV
ed into the magnificent Injuries of the
ministry. But, significantly, people who
sought action Of any sort dealt with
Nine. Roland and not with her hus-
band.
Louvet, the author, told Roland: "Thy
wife is q greater man than myself"
Unlike her husband, Nine. Roland

saw no hope in the monarchy. Grad
ually she changed his mind. But she
did not always advise him well and
as events moved toward the destruction
of the monarchy the Girondists lost
standing. What was to be done with
the King2 Roland, instructed by his
wife, declared for a vote of the people.
The Jacobins wanted immediate action,
action that would annihilate royalty.
The condemnation and execution Of
Louis in January, 1893, signaled the
failure of the Girondists. Roland re-
signed ONCE and fed to safety. Nine.
Roland was caught and imprisoned.
Some months later she was convicted
and sent to the guillotine.
When news of her fate was brought
to the refuge of her husband, who, in
his austere way, adored her, he took
out a dart which he had concealed In
his cane. rested the hilt against an
apple tree and leaned against 1t so
that it pierced his heart.
Curiously, Notwithstanding the role
she played, Nine. Roland was an anti
feminist.

Language and Sounds.

The use of slang Is not altogether to
be deplored. It gives life and color to
language. But the use Of catch words
and phrases, of slang expressions. may
check the language growth OF children
to a serious degree, I listened to
little boy trying to tell a story, trying
to take part In a group conversation,
and his efforts were pttiful. The child
lacked words to express himself.
did YOU see the thing the man used?
He sure did-Some baby ne Is. He
kinda made 1t go round-you know
what you call it?"
The boys scarcely waited for his voice
to cease before they went on with their
talk regarding the juggler at the circus
They had words and used correct terms
for them. They had ideas and the
words to clothe them. But this lad had
nothing but a collection of phrases
"Oh, gee. great" described his after
noon.
"some baby" expressed his appreci-
alton of the juggler.
And you went in a-you know-and
you saw a funny manor maybe a
woman-I don't know--and he had on
a dress all funny, freak guess you call
his hands and these things He put
them all over" That described a
sleight of hand performer in tent.
"She told us \ story. All about
him-m-Oh, can't tell it-She said it
would be something-I don't KNOWN
this country. Jake, you tell It,"
Now this child could learn to talk II
people would make a point of his doing
so. If he had been taught that when
he said Some baby-I'n tell the cock
eyed world-You bet--What do you
know about that?-Look who's there
He would say that" and such phrases,

uttered some sounds, and had been
forced to say in his own language what

1t would seem to me that boy in his

A Sermon for Today

Pay Day. Will Come.

Kay Ohy. W. AL OVAAVs
Rejoice, o young man, in thy youth:
and let thy heart cheer thee in the
days of thy youth, and walk in the
ways of thine heart, and In the sight
of thine eyes; but know thou, that for
all these things God will bring thee
into Judgment. "-Ecclesiastics, xi.s.
"I always figured that nothing could
hurt me-" the young man told the
doctor
That's the way lot Of young fell
lows figure these days" the doctor an
swered. but nobody can be irregular
and immoderate In the everyday living
without eventually paying the penalty"
The doctor had found that the young
man was suffering from an irregular
heart. Questioning him as to his
habits, the cause was readily discov-
cred. He had been irregular in his
hours for meals. irregular in his hours
for sleep, and irregular in his habits
generally. That is Just the thing that
is wrecking the health of thousands of
young men today. Young men bank
too much on their youth. They boast
that they can do this or that or the
other thing without its having any
effect on them. The day comes when
nature rebels, and they rush to q doc
tor to save them-oftines only when it
Is too late.
Better check UP on yourself, young
man, before you go too far, Let the
young woman also take heed. Remem-
Der the old saying, "An ounce Of pre-
vention Is worth a pound Of cure"
Regular hours for eating and sleeping,
~ q Ntl he ftu =
the practice of moderation in all
things will do more for you now than
any doctor can do later. Be reckless
with your health and strength in the
days of youth If you will. But, re-
mennber-pay day will come.

For the third time in two weeks
Tom, son of a local piper, has been
caught stealing pigs. Yesterday he was
nabbed by Policeman Jones as he at
tempted to get away with a pig at Gem

house Tom admitted that he had stolen
the animal, which he intended to sell to
dealer in Georgetown. His first two
attempts had been successful. and the
pigs had been butchered and eaten:
Taken before Judge - he pleaded
guilty. Due to his age, the judge adj

this was done, for soon after Tom was

There was a man in our town, and
he was wondrous wise,
He jumped into a brsmble bush and
scratched out both his eyes.
And when he found his eyes were out,
with all his might and main,
He jumped into another bush and
scratched them in again."

Modern version: Peter, the pumpkin
eater, of 99999 Fourteenth street, is
being held by the police of the six
tenth precinct pending the finding of
his wife. Peter, whose last name is un-
known, claims that his wife would not
remain home and cook his pumpkins

duties. He told the police that she
played bridge every afternoon, to the
detriment of her household duties. So
