A reporter followed him along the .street to see what would happen. Nothing happened. Noltody recognized the former president. The reporter followed him up jnto the tall building where the directors were to meet. Mi" Coolitlge was greeted by the others of the group as calm ly as they greeted each other. His left hand was in a bandage. Questioned about it, he said that he had injured the hand while landing a trout. "And you' got the fish?" asked the reporter. "Yes, I got the fish," said Mr. Ooolidgc. "It was worth it." In a white holder once fairnliar to news men at the White House the former presi cieijt had a cold cigar stub. The president of the fife insurance corfjpany walked over and offered a light, saying: "ICtting yoqr cigar go out is a thrifty Vermont habit." Mr. Coolitlge smiled broadly. - He told the reporter that he docs not like to write. "I don't mind writing .something that I know about very well, sucJi as my own life," ho said, "but a career of writing ," he Jiroke off with an expressive gesture. Then he said that his" memoirs are now about completed. That was about all ex cept that he expressed the hope that he had given the report er enough for a story. Ho had, but the story appeared on one of the newspaper's inside pages. He is the same Calvin Cool- idge whose interview four months ago would have been al front page "smash" for any newspaper. We humans are hero worshippers, but we have our de mands. We demand of our heroes that they must maintain phce and power and achievement. The world is interested only in doers and winners. To not enough. The hero must go on doing and winning. When he-stops humans cease to hail him or to show him conspicu ous honor. "The king is dead; long live the king." The man who has finished a career of public effort needs to be a phil osopher. Otherwise he nitty become embittered. Mr. Cool idge is not embittered. He accepts with a show of apparent genuine relief the obscurity into which ho has relapsed. o 1 J Kermit Roosevelt has brought home the hide of a panda which he killed in Indo-China. He says a panda is a cross belween a raccoon ami a bear. Now that is settled and we can get back to consideration of less weighty affairs, such as farm relief and international politics. o When Lindy gels home late he can always tell Mrs. Lind bergh that the motor wasn't working right, an exchange remarks. The variety of automobile the streets gives evidence that into its stride.

The very phrases of this lesson are beauilful, and no ' cousiderallou or leaching of it will be adequate that fails to take into account the beauty of its figures.
