Oliver Wendell Holmes said once that the happiest time in a man's life is when he discovers that he isn't a genius. It Is to b hoped that every young man starts in with the belief that he is better than most of the rest, and that be has special fitness for doing what he would most like to do. Those who aim high get high If they work hard and are persistent; bat those who think little of themselves and fail to aim high never get much of anywhere. But sooner or later the average individual discovers that he is not a genius, and though at first the knowledge is a little dismaying, he Is in a sensible sort presently he will find it more pleasant. For there are obligations involved in being a genius that it Is pretty hard for even geniuses to live up to. A genius must not make a mistake or bis reputation will suffer. He must always be brilliant, and never can afford the comfort of being commonplace. The hardest kind of a job is that of playing the part of brilliancy; for even the brilliant have prosy moments when It is mighty hard to think up something brilliant to say or do. Hut If you are finally and honestly convinced that you are not a genius. The obligation to act the part ceases. You can be as commonplace as you please. If brilliancy is your habit people expect you always to be brilliant. If you fall off In the very slightest degree, or even you fail to keep on scaling successive heights of brilliancy, you are done for. People will say that you aren't what you used to be and that they suspect that you never were. If you have the reputation of being commonplace not much is expected of you. If you do or say a good thing you get more credit for it than the genius gets for his best things. People say "Bully for you! We didn't think you had It In you!" f It is easy, however, to make the mistake of putting yourself down as commonplace too early. There s a good deal of question about Just what genius Is, anyway. The man who said it was a capacity for infinite pains probably came about as close to the truth as anybody, though the man who said it was "to madness near allied" wasn't so far off cither. As a matter of fact the commonplace man who makes hard work take the place of talent succeeds in making a very serviceable imitation of genius; and when the well known eccentricity and reliability of genius Is considered. It is altogether probable that this imitation, if it is not, after all, the real thing, is likely to be much more serviceable. In short, don't let the discovery that you are not a genius tempt you to let loot.o and slide back. It should, by convincing you that a common placo man has more need of hard work than a talented man, impel you to dig in all the harder. Duluth Herald.

New York, Dec. 17. Arthur Busby, assistant professor of anatomy in New York university and Bellevue hospital Medical college, was a target for bits of chalk, blackboard erasers, text books and a number of fragments of cadavers from the dissecting room by a section of the second year class in anatomy when he appeared before them, because members were dissatisfied with marks he had awarded them as a result of an examination held last Friday. Of a class of 30 medical students Dr. Busby rated 10 below the required mark, 14 as fair, which barely passes them, awarded good to two, and the highest mark, excellent, to four. When the students met in the halls of the college building on Monday they began to compare notes and were astounded to find how few of their number, even those reputed to be most learned, bad passed.

A meeting was called and behind j

closed doors a census of the members of the class was taken and the exact number of students who were satisfed with their rating was learned. There were just six, and these two were of the opinion that they knew

a little more than they had been credited for. The result became apparent when Dr. Busby met the class for an oral examination at 9 o'clock. When Dr. Busby entered, the electric lights were switched off and a Cries of "We want Becker! We want Becker!" intimated that the students preferred to learn to wield the scalpels and ply forceps under the tutelage of Dr. Julius A. Becker, who was instructor in anatomy last year. Dr. Busby was a match for the class and soon bad them in order. For several minutes he talked to them in his professional capacity, tehn, laying aside his dignity, he quietly invited any member of the class who had thrown anything at him or had indulged their propensities for vocal exercise to make it a personal matter with him. Dr. Busby is a big, hale person, about 28 years old. No one in the class signified intention to

treat with the doctor in any other than his official capacity.

Washington, Dec 17. The same week which sees the Christmas season approach high tide also contains the shortest days of the year, so it is not to be wondered at if the people generally find little time to devote to public affairs, politics, freight rate disputes, the high cost of living and many other things that occupy attention during the other fifty-one weeks of the year. Even the proceedings of congress, the political situation in Great Britain and other matters that have been absorbing public attention of late are likely to be forgotten for the time being while the people complete their preparations for Yuletide. While the nation is overflowing with the spirit of peace on earth and good will toward men it Is not without interest to note that the week will see the semi-centennial anniversary of the passing of the ordinance of secession in South Carolina, which marked the rising of the curtain on the great war between the states. Several important court cases are on the calendar for the - week, among them that of James Gallagher, who attempted to assassinate Mayor Gaynor of New York, but in view of the near approach of Christmas it is probable that In mo6t cases the actual trials will be deferred until after the holidays. The Democrats of New Mexico have called a delegate convention to meet in Santa Fe Monday to delne the party's attitude toward indorsing the constitution drawn up for the new state. An addition to the "mosquito" fleet or the United States navy will be made Tuesday, when the torpedo boat destroyer Trippe, sister ship of the Paulding and Drayton, will be launched at Bath, Me. The Japanese imperial diet will be convened at Tokio Tuesday. The country is now wrestling with several great political problems and the latest advices report much popular dissatisfaction over the government's policy, especially in regard to the tariff. As a consequence of this condition of affairs the proceedings of the Japanese parliament will be followed with world wide interest. The disposition of the tariff question, especially, Is a matter of great importance to England, the United States and other countries.

(American News Service) Paris. Dec. 17. When Blanche Legalky, a gray-haired .woman about 45 years of age, and her two sons, Almyre and Alphonse, were given prison sentences the other day after being convicted of shop-lifting the prosecuting attorney told an extraordinary story of the proceeding of this light-fingered family. The mother wore a large and ingeniously constructed wig. It was so made that she could conceal in it an infinite number of stolen articles. These she obtained through her sons, who were exceedingly skillful in pilfering from shop show cases. The three were watched in a well known store, and it was seen that the boys took a large number of small objects. The part that the woman played was not very apparent, but the police felt Justified in arresting her. When she was searched, however, nothing incriminating could be found until one of the wardresses noticed thecare with which the woman moved her head. Imemdiately she insisted on Investigating her hair. Among other things she discovered a roll of costly .ace. a ladVs gold watch and chain and .o heavy gold bracelets. The prosecution also stated that the two younger prisoners were expert pickpockets, and had stolen several purses from the hands of women who were shopping near the center of the city.
