book a rather flat ending to have to record the fact that "from this time on M. Clemenceau became a scenario writer." But is this change of interests and occupation so remark able? Is it even a change? Has not Clemenceau through his whole public career issued orders and made suggestions to directors and actors in the great drama -of life? Has he not staged many scenes, and produced many comic and tragic situations. He has always understood men and the motives for which they act, and he has always berit his energies in the direction of placing them adroitly on whatever part of the stage in his opinin they belonged. No! Clemenceau's decision to take up scenario writing is the logical next step. With imaginary characters he has the power, which in real life his fellowmen at times withheld from him.

SPRING BLOSSOM TIME.

The great prodigality of nature in her efforts to supply man with food and with shade from the heat of the scorching sun is indicated with indisputable evidence by a glance of some of the trees as they now appear, laden with spring blossoms. It is also self-evident that not nearly all of the blossoms with their promise ever mature. If they did a tree which bears countless frgrant blossoms would not be able to carry the load of mature fruit. It would be a strange provision of nature that all the apples born on a tree should mature and, dropping to

the ground, propagate other apple trees. Soon;

there would e a ticket of scrubby fruit trees and not one would bear full-sized fruit. Beyond the material view of the blossoms on a fruit tree, the esthetic side has a strong appeal. The mass of delicate pink and white blossoms almost hiding the little limbs and twigs delight the eye with their tints. Nature ' has outdone man with her color work. And the faint perfume which is so -prodigally scattered on the winds certainly in itself would justify the care of the trees. If one can breathe the entrancing perfumes from a wild crabapple tree, which in desolation is doing its bit to make the world a pleasant place to live in, and think the tree is worthless because the fruit is small and the branches are protected by spines, then indeed nature is a closed book and apples and other fruit need not exist outside of a fruit stand.

THE , TIGER AND THE MOVIES. The Tiger of France, Clemenceau, most renowned of all living Frenchman, is reported to be composing a scenario for the films. From a turbulent career of ups and downs, picturesque enough to draw the eyes of all the world to him, from the very midst of all the great nosies of a noisy world, this statesman has retired now to the quiet life of a scenario writer. He that once held in his hand the destiny of his own nation, and swayed strongly those of other national groups, is now sharpening pencils and wearing them dull by constructing plots and writing out suggestions for scenario producers and actors. A marvelous transformation, this ; not likely to be encountered in the lives of many men in any age; comparable only to a chimneysweep's becoming lord mayor of London. The biographer of this Irrench statsmaen will have some little trouble in deciding just how to treat this new diversion of Clemenceau's. It will seem in the

JAZZ UP TO PARENTS. Some persons talk about "syncopated music" as though it were something altogether new. Syncopation in music is merely the shift

ing of the accent of the measure to an unac- ; cented beat. The works of all the great classic ; masters abound in examples of syncopation. ' However, the tendency of exaggerated synopation is an evidence not of evolution in music but j of dissolution, or at least degeneration. Synco- j pation is the prevailing characteristic of the j music of barbarous and semi-civilized peoples. 1 It strongly marked the music of the American Indians, and was incorporated into the genera! : system of the Negro music of the South. ,

There is really nothing at all wrong about syncopation of itself, but along with syncopation there is too apt to be a reversion also to the other characteristics of barbarous music. In our day, this tendency finds expression in the barbaric monstrosity which has been called "jazz." It is an injustice to syncopation in music to refer to jazz as syncopation alone; but the fact is also it would be hard to imagine jazz without the unrestrained syncopation. And whatever may be said of certain varieties of dancing to music in which such syncopation appears, it nevertheless remains that legislation, as proposed by the city council of Savannah, Ga., will never put an end to the use of any sort of music for dancing, any more than it could be expected to put an end to cubism in another art or the absence of good style in writing. It is not the legislation that directs the tendences of peoples, whether in popular amusement or otherwise. It should not be forgotten, too, that many tendencies appear first on the stage and are afterward copied by the public; which shows how illogical it would be for a city to say that certain music should not be danced to in a hotel or public dancing place, but that it may be used in a theatrical performance. The place to attack dancing of the sort that is considered injurious to public morals is, after all, in the home. So long as fathers and mothers permit jazz music and jazz dancing in their own homes, how can they be expected to support public sentiment against jazz?

THE NEWS OF HOPPERTOWN. Grandma Prudy, who has been failing rapidly for nine years, and is at present in a very feeble state of health, is able to do only light work how, and has accepted - lucrative position running a gang saw down to Am MilHVor'c mill

Miss Amy Pringle, our village milliner, has gene to the city to look -over the new spring styles, and find out whether she dares sprmg em here. ' A traveling gentleman from Racine, Wis., is registered at the Huttel. He represents a safety razor concern and ought to- do real well in this town where the boys shave every other leap year. An optimistical looking gent blowed into this town the other day with a line of hymn books in which he hoped to interest the deacons of the Hardshell church. After selling Jem an order he entertained em in his room at the Iiuttell, and left town that night with $237, three pair of pants, seven pairs of link cuff buttons, two derby hats, one fancy silk vest and three watches and chains. Deacon Pringle says he believes that hymn books are sort of a side line with that gent, for when he pot to juggling the pasteboards he acted like a regular gol dum slicker. The hymn books have not yet arrived by express, as promised. m THIS MAN SHOULD BE RUNNING A COLUMN. James Yanskv sawed wood Wednesday forenoon. Arthur Scott did the work. Iowa "City Citizen. Burglar worked seven hours on a safe, and when he opened it he found it to contain $5, yet some people say there is no pauper labor in this country. ADD DON'TS. Don't when' in a crowd carry thousand dollar bills sticking from your hatband. They are almost sure to attract the attention of thieves. Don't have your safe sitting out on the sidewalk with the door hanging open, if you are a jeweler. " - Do not send well-known thieves to the bank for the weekly payroll. Choose some messenger you have seen before. Don't leave your gold watch hanging out of your pocket when in a crowd. . . Don't carry a large pail of diamonds aowntown in the rush hour rnthout having cover on the pail. Don't leave $40,000 sable coat hanging in restaurant when you go out. When you return it may not be there. . .

Don't ask stranger to run down to jewelry store with a platinum and diamond brooch for you to be fixed. Don't walk in tough district idly swinging $176,000 pearl necklace in vour hand. There may be some dishonest persons around. Don't hang your hopes of pearls out on the fire-escape to dry after doing weekly washing unless you are sure to take them in at mght. Don't carry large sums of money on your person, especially if you are married man working on salary. Carry checkbook, even if the checks are not good for anything. Don't leave valuable old masters standing out in the backyard after giving them their weekly bath with the hose. Thieves know genuine paintings. Every time you go to the bank go by a different route and to a different bank. Don't forget to remove all gold fillings from your teeth when going into any company in which there may be strangers. Don't hire a burglar's wife to clean house for you unless you vant your house thoroughly cleaned. . . Doing Erothers are real estate operators in Baltimore.

What Number Did You Call? It is always the best practice to consult the directory before you make a telephone call unless you are positive of the number. When you call for the number of a telephone which has been discontinued, if the called subscriber has moved or the number has been changed, it is necessary for the operator to pass this call to another operator, who checks the number called and advises you in turn of the error. This necessarily . slows the service. The directory has a page on which numbers frequently called may be noted for ready reference. This list should be checked and corrected with each new issue of the directory and all other handy lists should be discarded.
