This' was the response of the Wright brothers when' all ' that great crowd waited the other day in Dayon to hear what the two inventors had to say regarding the celebration in their honor. Most people would have availed themselves of an opportunity to show some emotion.' . But thai is not the way of the Wrights. . This same thing has been going on all over the world in every place that they have been receiving ovations. It Is Just this phase of their cool level headed nature which has made them types of super-men to be worshipped by their, Gallic admirers - in France. There is something which surpasses even the stolidity of aristocracy in their make up. ':' The royal ' Indifference may be but a mask for a, feeling which the royal personage thinks it is unworthy of his rank to display. The Wrights are apparently too much con' cerned with the ' work they have to do, either to waste time in making speeches or to have their heads turned by adulation. That this is so is proved by their schedule during the celebration in Dayton: t A. M. Left their work in the aeroplane shop, and In. their shirt sleeves went out in the street to hear every whi6tle and bell In town blow and ring for ten minutes. 8:10 A. M. Returned to work. 10 A. M. Drove in a parade to the opening ceremony of the "home-coming celebration." - 11 A. M. Returned to work. Noon Reunion at dinner with Bishop Milton Wright, the father; Miss Kstherine Wright, the sister; Reuchlia Wright, s of Tongonoxle, Kan., a brother, and Loren, another brother. 2:30 P. M.- Reviewed a parade given in their honor in the downtown streets. 4 P. M.-Worked two hours packing up parts of an aeroplane for ship ment to Washington. 8 P. M. Attended a public recep tion and shook hands with as many Daytonians aa could get near them. 9 P. M. Saw a pyroteebnical dis play on the river front in which their ; own portraits, 80 feet high and enr twined In an American flag, were shown. When the fireworks were over, Wil bur turned to Orville and said: ,"Let'a hurry home; you know we have to get up early." - There may be a lingering sense of sadness in remembering their early struggles to secure recognition when they were receiving medals and re- ' ceptlons in their honor which prompt ed one of the Wrights to say the other day that if the American people could, they would gladly supply the money in twenty-four hours,' no matter what the sum; to create either a great inventor or a great poet like Shakespears. It may be that in the long hours in which they were busy trying to get the recognition which they now have In overflowing abundance that they made up their minds that they could and would do without the plaud Its of the populace. That is a thing for all those who are struggling to remember, whether they rush every Saturday to look at the returns from the patent office, whether they wait expectantly for a letter from their publishers, or await the end of the year and the time of v the raising of hay. Ws wonder if the heights are as pleasing to the Wrights as they looked In days gone by, or whether they real ly tr.l that there are no heights after they, have reached them. One thing Is probable, those two stoics will nev- . tr UO. : TUB DARK SIDE OF SETTLEMENT - WORK v The horrible details which are attrnCst ca the casts of XTias Cats

Eigel the granddaughter of - Gen. Franz Sigel, who wm engaged In settlement work among the Chinese' In New York City brings up the horrible tide , of human nature in phases which go far to make one question the whole system. Leaving out the more terrible aspects of the affair there is no harm in calling attention to the parasite growth which revolves around all settlement work among foreigners. It has ben known for a long while that the Chinese and Japanese have attended the classes of the various Metropolitan Sunday schools for no other purpose than to learn the English language. There are Innumerable cases of ''Japanese school boys," who have done just this same thing in imposing on young American girls who direct their misplaced ' energy in reforming , and enlightening the canny celestials. One cannot blame the Chinese and the Japs who do not understand the freedom of American institutions." But the energy of American girls might be better placed in other branches of settlement work.

Items Gathered in From, Far and Near The June Army. From, the Toledo Blade. The reception which the world must annually give to the university and college students is no less a problem for the world than for the students. Conventional humor ' demands that work-e-day life be cold of shoulder, Indifferent, suspicious. In reality the student is received with kindness and tolerance. His tremendous self-confidence is not infrequently accepted at Its face value, his youth with gratitude. But the graduate is not always willing to take the gifts that are held out to him. His attitude is of one who 'demands a dividend the day after investment. Salaries offered him, too higa usually for the training brought, disappoint him. He looks for the easy hours of the school. ? Discipline of business irks him and much of the routine he considers beneath his learning and his dignity. There still ring in hiB ears the songs of commencement and the poetic, impractical atmosphere of the college towns is long in leaving the recesses of his memory. It is here that the world has its problemconsidering how long it is becoming to be patient, studying the in dividual for his Strength to overcome the dampening effect of disillusion, wondering wnetner, in tne - eno, a friendly forbearance is to pay.' . ' The Wall Street Commission. From the New York World. ' Gov. Hughes' Wall ; street commis slon recommends little to the legislature. It appeals to the New York Stock Exchange to purge Itself and live decently hereafter. None of the legislation that is suggested goes to the root of the Wall street gambling evil. Even the incorporation of the stock exchange is held In reserve, with the warning that "if, however, wrong doing recurs, and it should appear to the public at large that the exchange has been derelict in exerting its powers and authority to prevent it, we believe that the public will insist upon the incorporation of the exchange and its subjection to state authority and supervision." " The most important of all Wall street questions in its relation to the public welfare the alliance between stock gambling and organised - bank ingIs dismissed without recommen dation on the ground that it is a subject of consideration by the federal au thorities and the national monetary commission, and " could , not be adequately controlled either by state legislation or exchange regulation. - Only One in Captivity. From the New Bedford Standard. According to a Constantinople letter the new Sultan of Turkey is a typical democrat.

LITERARY WORLD KENTUCKY HONORS LINCOLN. While the Old Dominion and the Buckeye States have always prided themselves on the presidents they have given to the nation, Kentucky is just beginning to realize that as the mother of Abraham Lincoln she has a claim upon birthright distinction that no other multiple of presidential sons can ever overshadow or diminish. It was not, however, until after the Lincoln Farm Association had been organized by a group of patriotic men In New York for the purpose of conserving and caring for Lincoln's birthplace In the very geographic center of the Bhie Grass state, that Ken tuck tens realized their own lamentable tardiness in properly honoring their greatest son. Appreciating the fact that Kentucky had left the Lincoln birthplace shamefully neglected for the people of other states to care for, Mr. Robert Enlow, the grandson of Lincoln's nearest neighbors a hundred years ago, introduced a bill in the Kentucky state legislature of 1906 a bill calling for the appropriation of ten thousand dollars to be expended in setting up in Hodgenville, Lincoln's native town, a worthy memorial monument. But the law makers of Boone's mmmnnwoalth wlthrnit nnrMlatlnn amended the bill to call for but onequarter Of that amount. 1 Ex-Congressman David Smith of the Fourth Congressional district of Kentucky, feeling the inadequacy of the Frankfort appropriation, . secured in the closing days of the Fifty-ninth congress a federal appropriation of ten thousand dollars. The two appropriations were put in charge of a commission of five appointed by Governor Beckham of Kentucky. This commission determined upon a bronze statue of Lincoln, and commissioned the work to Mr. Adolph Alexander Weniman of New York, probably America's ablest sculptor today. This statue, much admired and highly commended both by art critics and friends of President Lincoln, who had a right to judge of its portrait value, was unveiled on Memorial day. On this day Kentucky realized her own.-Collier'e for June 19. An Insulting Pronoun. The ritual of society, as women make it. Is very exacting the world over, even In aimhouses.

George Early (By George P. Early.) It was a glorious day in October when I visited Sleepy Hollow Cemetery at Concord, Mass. The sun shone with such an intense brilliancy as though it were determined to find and put to flight every nook of shade. The air was braefng and delightfully exhilarating. Every deep breath was a tonic. It was such a day as made you feel that life was worth living, for the sunshine and air were radiating health. The leaves of the trees planted more than a half century ago by many who now sleep beneath their shadows were exquisitely tinted with those rich hues which tell the sad story that the end is near.: .- v- . Sleepy Hollow has been called the "Westminster Abbey of America" because so many of America's distinguised dead are there sleeping the years away, as they , flow into the Illimitable sea of eternity. I was particularly , anxious to visit the graves of Emerson, Hawthorne,- Thoreau, Louise Alcott and Elizabeth Pea body and I was "much disappointed on entering the cemetery to find that there were no guides that day, at least to show me the graves I wanted to see. . As I was strolling along the carriage road that crests the western ridge I came up to an Irishman who was sprinkling, a sacred lawn billowed by three graves, one of which was newly made and upon which sorrowing love had placed some fresh flowers. Celtic Love of Living There was a suggestive Invitation for a conversation in his "Good morning, sir," which I gladly accepted. "Well, sir," said I, are you connected in any way with this cemetery?" "I am, sir," he replied, "but not so permanently, I am happy to say. as many others." "Then you are fond of living?" I suggested. "Indeed, I am, sir. Why shouldn't I be? I have health, I sleep like a babe, I have plenty to eat and no indigestion, plenty of clothes to wear and am not concerned about style, and I have a happy home witha good wife to run it, and I dont owe any man a cent." "Surely you are to be envied," said I. "Yes sir." continued be. "I would rather be here sprinkling this lawn for those under it than be the tenant of any grave here having some other Irishman sprinkling the lawn above me." . . . "But you have not told me in what capacity you are connected , with this cemetery," I suggested. 'Well, sir, let me see," said he closing his eyes to clear his vision and removing his hat and running his hand through his hair to aid him in his calculations, "I have been sexton of this cemetery for 41 long years." "Indeed!" said I "I am very much surprised. You don't look much older than that." "Ah. my friend, you must have spooned with the Blarney Stone," said he with a merry twinkle ia his eyes. "You are a poor guesser or a jollier," he retorted. "If I live till the fourth of next January I will be 64." f Well. well, you are a mighty young looking old man. Your health and happy nature have kept you young and time has certainly dealt , gently with you." I remarked. "Getting old is a habit. If you want to stay young get rid of the habit That's my doctrine," said the Celtic philosopher. "Well, 41 years is a long time to be among the dead, isn't it?" I Inquired. "Yes, in some ways, perhaps; but I expect to be with them a mighty eight longer later on," said he. "When that time comes I hope it will be a nice and quiet one for you." I volunteered. Name of an Iriahmaru "Thank yen sir," he said with a smile. "I don't think there will be much doing then." ' "May I Inquire your name?" I asked. "Sure you may," he replied, without any indication of giving it to me. After a seemingly long pause t suggested that he had hot told me his name. "I beg pardon, sir," he replied. "My name fte Joseph- Dee. - - , ' -, "Dw? Why. Dee Is not an Irish

name, is It?" I inquired. "I don't know about that, sir, but I do know that it is the name of an Irishman." "I wish you would please tell me something of interest about .this cemetery, will you?" 1 asked. "Certainly, and with pleasure sir" he replied courteously and contln&hg he said. "This ground prior to 1855 was a part of Deacon Brown's farm. When the Deacon died the town laid out a new road to Bedford, cutting off Sleepy Hollow, which was then used as a sort . of pleasure ground for the people of Concord. In 1855, Mr. John S.' Keyes, a citizen of Concord, appreciating the fitness of this beautiful place for a cemetery, Induced the village to buy It. "Mrs. Maria Hoi brook was the first person there. This took place in the later part of 1855. . "On April 19 a tree-bee was organized and over a hundred trees were set out in a single day by the citizens of Concord and vicinity each .person bringing his own tree." ' The Grave of Emerson. Accompanied by the sexton, I soon found myself at the grave of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the grave of all graves In America which I was most anxious to see. Emerson is buried on "Pine Ridge,", beside the grave of his mother and little son, Waldo, whose death inspired the tender poem, "Threnody." Emerson's grave is marked by a huge boulder of rose quartz, upon which appears the following: RALPH WALDO EMERSON. Born in Boston. May ' 25. 1803. Died in Concord, April 27. 1882. The passive Master lent his hand To the vast ecul that o'er him planned. These lines being a quotation from his own poem, "The Problem." On asking the sexton whether he had ever seen Mr. Emerson or had spoken with him he replied that he had seen him often as he walked about the village, and that when he did so he was usually dressed in black and wore a high stiff hat, and as he walked along his head was bent forward, his eyes scanning the ground, as AFTER mams LydiaEPinkhara'sVegetable Compound Cured Her. Willimantic, Coon. "For five years I suffered untold agony from female troubles, causing backache, irregularities, dizziness and nervous prostration. It was Impossible for me to walk upstairs without stoppinr on the way. I tried three different doctors and each told me something different. I received no benefit from any of them, but seemed to suffer more. The last doctor said nothing would restore f tl. my neaun. x began takine- Lrdia E.

though he were looking for something he had lost, and that he seemed unconscious of passersby and very seldom spoke to anyone, because, as the sexton said, "what he had to say he mostly writ." Graves of the Famous. Just to the left of Emerson's grave is that of Hawthorne, whose lot is en closed by iron paling fence. No stone marks the grave, as It was his wish, often expressed, that his grave should be unmarked. On the opposite side of the path from Emerson's grave is that of Louise Alcott, whose "Little Men" and "Little Women," have enchanted thousands of little children throughout the world. To the left of her grave Is that of Henry David Thoreau, who, though he spent most of his life In the open air, died of consumption at the age of 45. When I asked the sexton to tell me something of Interest about Thoreau he said he was a crank that lived down at Waldon Pond and Short Low Round-Trip
