A Compliment.

Simon Wolf, the Jewish leader, Is eighty-two years old, and he is a great friend of Chauncey Depew, who has just turned eighty-five.

INSPIRATION AT ODD TIMES

How Longfellow Wrote “Wreck of the Hesperus”—Rossini Composed Music in Bed. ~’ « Longfellow’s “Wreck of the Hesperus”'‘caTne to him" as he "was by his fireside, the night after a violent storm.. He went to bed, but-could not sleep; the Hesperus would not be denl ed ; an d as Tie 1a y the verses tl owetT on witbout let or hindrance until the poem was completed. One at leqst of Rossini’s splendid pieces of music was composed in bed. It was when he was young, poor and unknown, and lived in wretched quarters. After writing a duet thp composer allowed his manuscripts to slip off the sheets and fall under the bed, and moreover he believed it would be unlucky to pick the sheets up; so he and crashed through one of the physihis disgust he could not remember it. It was therefore necessary to write a riewbne;“ This he had .finished when a friend entered. “Try that,” said the composer, “and tell me what you think of it.” The verdict was favorable. “Now,” said Rossini, “look under the bed. You’ll find another duet there. Try that, too.” The friend did so. and declared the original composition was much the better. It Is Included in his works today.

Ill and Nervous.

Nurses dislike the season of thunderstorms.< “We are not afraid of 1 Ight ning ourselves,” a nurse in a woman’s hospital told me, “but It has a harmful effect on the patients. Most sick people fear lightning, In cases of extreme weakness or nervousness a dozen flashes of blinding lightning reduce the patient to a state of utter prostration.”

AIMING ABOUT LONG ENOUGH

Old Gentleman Evidently Though Prospective Son-In-Law Be Getting Ready to Fire. -John Bewlns was the most bashful lad in a Wessex village. For three years he had been keeping company with Lottie Reed, but he could not bring his courage up to the popping point. On Suhday night as he was leaving the garden gate of his inamoratfi, he encountered the old man, who had begun to chafe under the diffidence of his daughter’s sweetheart. “Look’ee here, John 1” exclaimed paterfamilias, “you have been coming to see my daughter for several years now, and I want to know what your intentions are?” t “W-w-well, s-s-slr," Stammered John, “I am aiming to-to her.” “Aiming?” snorted the old man. “Well, don’t you think it about time that you fired?” —London Tit-Bits.

An Obsession.

The favorite American sport just now appears to be boosting prices.

At least, that’s what a Cleveland man believes, and he points in proof to a .certain, cohv er sa ti on he claims t<y have overheard recently in a downtown store.

Unfortunate Arras.

Arras, on the River Scarpq, was the capital of the Gallic tribe of Atrebates in the time of Caesar. Later the capital of Artois, Arras is now the chief city of the department of Pas-de-Calais. Since the fourth century Arras has been famed for its“woOTeh Cloth, and particularly for fine tapestry hangings. Arras was Invaded 1 n 1914, when her grand palace and petit palace were destroyed by bombs. The great cathedral was absolutely shattered, as well as the railway station. Not one house was left intact. Just one of the former Inhabitants, an old woman, was left there. Although it teemed with military life, beautiful Arras became a corpse—a tteafl cHy?" 1 _

HOW ABOUT 'DAD'?

Writer Makes Plea That Is Worth Consideration. Too Often Father of Family Glvea All With Comparatively Little, Return From Those • He Loves. " It is not father’s plaint. He rarely admits that he has cause for complaint. So someone must do It for him. Imagine, if you please, a successful man of 50. Besides his prosperous business or profession, he has laid up an independence. He has fine character, unblemished reputation, good health and apparently Ideal family relations. Yet he is not happy. Possibly he knows what is the matter; more likely he doesn’t; but we do. It is those seemingly ideal domestic relations. Of his three children, his son, a fine young man of 19, promises, after the subsidence of youth’s effervescence, to follow worthily in his father’s footsteps. But there is no comradeship between them. The boy greatly respepts his father, and his love might be a stay in the crises of life, but is small comfort in its dead levels. He would as likely think of chumming with Abraham. His elder daughter is "out,” his younger still a school girl.’ He has given them every advantage of education, pays their bills, keeps open house for their company, sometimes boarding visiting girl frtends for weeks. He has been driven from the parlor to the library by the force of that deeprooted American delusion that social pleasure Is strictly for yoyng people. To be sure, nts gtria sometimes take fits of petting him, but the unfortunate coincidence of these spells with calls for some Jresh indulgence will force Itself on his attention, despite his loyal efforts to be fondly blind. And his wife, the one member of his family of his own generation, she who has with him a common past, common interests and a common remembrance of “Love’s Young Dneam,” surely .she Is in perfect accord with him? Surely she sits in the library ■with him? No, she doesn’t. A successful man’s wife often mistakes the deference paid to her for tribute to her own 'charm when in fact it js paid: solely to- her husband’s wife. Occasionally death and misfortune rob her of both husbgnd and money and then she is made to realize how little court is paid to her personality.- But the mistake is quite natural, and she really believes her husband fortunate to possess her. Therefore, when she has given the time and thought necessary to the smooth running of the domestic machinery she fancies she has done her full duty by him. The rest of her energy she gives to her clubs, her limousine, the dressing of her daughters and herself; in fine, to all that pertains to the social standing of the family; never questioning the real happiness of the talented man who is steadily working for the means to give her and her chlldrenthese advantages. She takes it for granted that he is completely satisfied with that vocotion. • But he isn’t. He is human and often love hungry. It is high time his family call their dormant love into active life and give smiles to him now, Instead of tears to his casket. —-Penn*

Matters of Etymology.

Ramblers among the derivations of words can always findfantastteslmilarities. “Cocayne” is centuries old and means a Jand where ease and luxury prevail, lubberland, an imaginary abode of the lotus eaters. Its etymology is disputed but possibly from the French meaning “cake,” the Land of Cakes. It has been connected with “Cockney,” ♦hose origin also is uncertain, meaning a dweller in London In of Bow bells. “Cocayne” is usually spelled “Cockaigne.” The two words differ absolutely in pronunciation, for it must be remembered that “cocaine” is pronounced co-ca-in; three, not two syllables. Another error made by those comprising '"quite a few” pronounce “paresis," which has its “e” short and accent on the first syllable as if that “e” were long and the accent on the second. the origin of cocaine is clear, from the South American coca plant and the chemical suffix “ine.”

On the night of armistice day a negro trooper met some hilarious Frenchmen. Next morning he was before his captain, charged with intoxication. “Young man,” scowled the captain, “you’ve got a mighty good record, and I’m sorry. Have you any excuse to offer for this outbreak?” “I ain’t got no excuse, please, cap’n,” said the culprit, “but I’se done got a good reason." “A reason.” exclaimed the captain. -What ia It?” “Well, cap’n, I dunno de English' to' It, but de bunch I met las’ night called it ‘encore.’ ”

PAT EVIDENTLY MADE GOOD

News From America Seerred to Prove Irishman Had Not Misjudged His Capacity. Pat Finnegan had left his wife in Ireland and gone to America to try his fortune and establish a home for his family in the new world. It was some two or three weeks after Pat’s departure that Jiis wife stood in the meager garden in front of her home, looking down the ropd hefinuu limF gone, and moodily speculating on his success. She vas rudely startled by the harsh voice of Mrs. O’Leary callIng her over the fence. “Have you heard the news from America, Mrs. Finnegan?” “Faith, an’ Oi have not.” "’Tis in the paper this marnln’. Read it fer yerself. ‘America gone dry. Last alcoholic drink sold at midnight, June 20.’ ” Mrs. Finnegan looked doubtful for a minute; then, swelling with pride and casting a triumphant glance at Mrs. O'Leary, she shouted back; “Faith, an’ Pat always said, give him two weeks an’ there was not a country in the wourkl he couldn't drink dry.”— Life. \ -■
