GLORY ACCRUES TO LEADER
To Be Remembered, One Has Only to Be First in Some Undertaking - That Succeeds.

~_And so It Is with many other persons and events that find their places in history. = Always it is the beginnings of things that shed glory on the participants. Christopber Columbus has just been honored agals because he was the first to discover Ameriea, and the landing of the Pligrims is celebrated because they were the first to colonize Massachusetts. Harvard rejoices “in being the first Institution of learning in what is now the Usnited States and having set up the first printing press. The fipst seéttiers of any community are always persons of prime Interest, and the first man to wear pantaloons or carry an umbrela, If living today, eould coin money by putting himself on exhibition,

SET RECORD FOR PROFLIGACY
Danish Courtier, Hundreds of Years Ago, Started Fashion Copied by Some Modern “Sports.”
The “sport” who lights his cigarets with $5 bills had the pace set hundreds of years ago by courtiers in the rgign of Queen Caroline Matilda of Denmark. Bills.worth $3O were used by them as pipe lighters, and the leadership was taken by an old roue, Count Rantzau, who, although 60, won the love of the beautiful Sophia Livernet, of the royal ballet, a maid of 18 years. Rantzau was the brains behind the plot that broke the rule of the gullty queen and her lover, Dr. Struensee, and put the dowager queen, Jullana Maria, In power. - That astute . lady promptly turned on Rantzau and ordered him banished. He was sunk in melancholy, but brightened long enough to give a saries of balls and entertainments more brilliant than any the kingdom had known. Then he drew his pistol} and all would have been over had not the lovely Sophia entered at that moment and by singing a trio of old melodies to the tinkle of her harp, won back his desire to live. He did not die until many years liter, and then died as he would have wished to die with his boots on, and as the result of a duel In France over the favor of a lady. - '
Capt. Roger Clap to His Children, , Roger Clap’s words to his children were: : : ‘ :
“You have better food and ralment than was In former times; but have you better hearts than your forefathers had? If so, rejojce in that mercy, and let New England then shout for joy. “Sure all the people of God In other parts of the world, that shall hear the children and grandechildren of the first planters of New England have better hearts, and are more heavenly than their predecessors, they will doubtless greatly rejolce, and will say: “This-is the generation whom the Lord hath . blessed.” ” :
~ Capt. Roger Clap, an English colonist in America, was one of the founders of Dorchester, Mass, settling there in 1630. He was captain of the fort or “castle” on Castle island fromf 1665 to 1686, after which, until’ his' death, he lived in Boston. He is best remembered for his “Memairs,” which he prepared about 1676, but which were not published unmtil 1731, when they were edited by Thomas Prince.
Porridge, a Talisman.
Porridge is what the ~Scots are brought up on; that and theology, and the curious thing is that only those who come from north of the Tweed know the secret of how to make it. The English have a breakfast dish made with oats, while the people of the United Stat® are perfectly frank about it and call it “oatmeal.” The Scots have been accused of being clannigh, but it may be that they are only fond of their national dish. A traveler in Canada one morning alighted from the trgin at Scotia Junction. Did the name of the station and the pictures of Edinburgh castle and the Forth bridge in the little hotel bring back any happy memories? Perhaps, ves. Perhaps, no. Anyhow it was noticed that when he heard the quiet request, “Wull yer hae seme parritch?” a smile spread over his face. That settled it. The best must be a Scot. : Erligat ot

IMITATE CUSTOMS OF WEST
Manchu Women on Streets of Peking . Use Rouge, but in Manner Pronounced Clumsy.
The first- strikingly surprising custom among the citizens of Peking'is that the women wear ‘skirts, James A. Muller writes In the National Geographic Magazine. -To a traveler fresh from America, this would seem as it should be, but to one resident in the land of trousered women it appears almost Immodest | : They not only wear skirts; they further approximate western usage by painting their faces. Broadway is nature itself In comparison; for in Peking there are no light, artistic touches, but bold cheek circles of red upon frankly whitened faces—cometic unabashed. . . These are the Manchu women. The +Manchu men, descendants of the roving Tartars, go futilely about this spacious city of their fathers balancing trick birds upon their wrists; for, now that the empire is no more, their only occupation, that of ruling, is gone, and the conquered Chinese, immemorial city dwellers, are masters of the capital. It is a' significant illustration of the age-old ability.of the Chinese to absorb and enervate their conquerors.
~ A dreamer and a man of action loved a woman. The dreamer said: “I shall write verses In her prafse; they will touch her wvanity and she will love me for them.” ' But the man of action =ald: “How old fashioned! I shall corper the stock market, and that will bring her.” : ol
So the dreamer wrote verses, and he induced a friend of his, who ran a ten-cent magazipe to print them. And the man of actjon cornered something or other and became a billionalre,
In the meantime the girl married a man who Inbherited his money, and lived happy ever after. , But the dreamer was so proud of his verses that he didn't care; and the man of action was =0 busy that he didn't care. s -
