WHEN THE HIGH STRUNG STRING SNAPS. Genius and degeneracy are sometimes close allied. "Bobble" Burns was
a libertine and disgraced himself In the eyes of the aristrocracy which had cnce idolized him. De Qulncy, one of the greatest masters of English, became a "dope fiend", sunk to the depths of degregation, but finally managed to cure himself and worked out his own salvation. Lew Wallace, the author of Ben Hur, considered one of the classics of our time, was addicted to the use of intoxicants. James Whitcomb Riley has been compelled to cancel lecture engagements on account of bis intoxicated condition. THE LAW OF COMPENSATION SEEMS FREQUENTLY TO OFFSET A GREAT MANIFESTATION OF GENIUS BY SOME PITIABLE HUMAN FRAILTY. HUMAN LIMITATIONS ARE INEXORABLE. A striking illustration of this fact is the career of Reginald Dekoven Delghton. Deighton's ability as a musician was recognized by wealthy friends. He was given the finest musical education that money could provide. His genius proved worthy of the efforts that were made to develop it. Delghton came to be regarded one of the greatest pipe organists in the country. Just at the point in his career when it seemed to have the greatest

The average boarding house or hotel does not supply a hand mirror and not to be able to see one'a back hair or the back of one's gown for two weeks Is apt to have a bad effect on the perfection of one's toilet.

LAD FATALLY HURT BY CARS. Little Robert Rosenbaum, years old, son of Will Rosenbaum of Anderson, was probably fatally injured yesterday afternoon when he was run over by a Big Four switch train at the Mulberry street crossing.

This habit converted a man of high ideals and 6plendid attainments into a human derelict. Pipe organ recitals in the finest of churches, where the performer frequently was lionized, were followed by orgies in the segregated districts And soon the budding genius forgot his ambitions, forgot his debt of gratitude to those who had for his musical education, forgot his duty to himself and mankind and gave himself over to a life of dissipation. It is one of the most sombre pictures that could possibly be painted. It Is the tragedy of a lost soul, a misspent life. When a man of ordinary

charlatan tried a piece of monumental bluff. He called at the newspaper
office and informed the city editor that unless retraction was made he would do dire things to the newspaper. In view of the monstrous practices carried on in his establishment, such as the disrobing of his feminine devotees and far worse stunts not disclosed at that time, the nerve of the old ram was amazing. There Is not a newspaper office in the country which has not been visited by bluffers of this calibre who make terrible threats unless the editor retracts. How little credit they give editors is shown by the fact that when the stories axe true, retractions are never made. When a man is guilty of any offense against public or private morals he had better stay a hundred miles away from a newspaper office with his threats.

MOTION PICTURES HAVE VALUE. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Greathouse says: "It is my opinion that motion pictures could be made a valuable aid to instruction in our public schools."
