Did you ever have the experience, of
walking down Main street wltb a man
who is munlug foe office? AS fHe time
he is bowing right nd left to people ;
yon meet. Seven; times la a block he
will stop to shake hao4s with an ac
quaintance, i -.
"You eb"jx to know rery one," you
ay to him almost enviously. ;
"Thai's right," he replies, not with
wit some ptia. . "I f u's 1 de- know
very body arcith knowing.", .
Yec Uo mauy ;eopie does he know)
How auiny people da you know your
self? Did you evt-r try to figure it out?
What proportion of the people in the
Cnited States do you know? Certainly
"ou don't know tb oue-hundreth part
V (him1 Eveu tke president of the
nitod States doesn't and couldn't If
je kept traveling all the time, makUig
a host pf new acquaintances every day.
To know th oue-hundredth part f
the people In Uiis country would be to
know in the .elhboruood of a mllliou
persons. No; it is perfectly safe to say
that there s no person in the whole
world thai knows a million other per
sons well enough to call each of them
by name. Think what a million means!
Suppose you said the mimes vi nil
people you know as fa: as you could.
If yon could euunclate twenty names
t minute you would be doing marvel
Misly well Even at that rate, working
eadily eight hours a day, it would
sake yoa nenrly four months Just to
name Uw people you know There isn't
t memory in existence that would hold
e sallllon names.
WelL Ao you suppose you know a
wndred ' thousand? Let s see; that
rould lie about one-fifth of the popu
Vlon of Rhode Island. Imagine your
self sitting In the railroad station at
Providence watching the people come
through. No; that is hardly a fair
test, for unless you live in Providence
yon do not know as many people there
as in the city ia which you live. Sit
In your ojvu railway station and count
the people coming through. No matter
how well known you are or how,niny
people you know, j qu cannot help but
be impressed" with the Suet of how
many people there are that you do not
know. If you know one in a hundred
persons you know far more tha?i the
average. ,
,It us try to get at It In anothei
way. You make on the average, say,
two new acquaintances a week. Of
course there arc weeks and weeks thut
yon make no new acquaintances at all,
and then there are times, such as pic
nic -week and vacation week and
church fuir week, when you meet a
lot of people, so that two a week is a
fair average. You have been meeting
people, say, for twenty-five years.
Thafs 2,500, isn't It?
Is it poHHlble that you know only
2,500 people' -You thought the num
ber would be far more than that?
But hold on. You don't know nearly
that many. There are lots and lots
of people whom yoti knew twenty
years ago that yon don't know now.
You cannot even remember their
names or what they looked like.
Just sit down and try to remembei
the pames of all the boys and girls
that were in the same room in the
public school with you. You cannot
remember half of them or a third of
them or a fifth of them. It is safe to

Thi. Mnmmy and the Humming Bird"
(SCPaul Dispatch.) - 7
'." Reducing- the plot pf "The Mummy
and the Humming Bird" to a few
lines, it .would seem to appear that
Isaac Henderson merely turned an old
dress inside out, and manufactured
a "made-o'ver" garment in his dramat
ic workship. That is true and untrue
at the eame time. Surely the follow
ing will sound wonderfully familiar
to habitual theatregoers: A young
and beautiful woman with ante-nuptial
dreams and Ideals of what wedded
life must be, marries a young noble
man of noble nature, who, being deep
ly absorbed in scientific research, does
not see that his bride is pining for
his companionship; she gradually
drifts into the habit of accepting the
attentions of smooth scoundrel, to be
rescued in the nick of time by her
husband, Who comes to his senses at
an opportune moment.
How familiar all that sounds, and
how many times it has been used by
dramatists. Yes (and here is where
Isaac Henderson fools usall, and
turns the edge of our barbs) he has
used this ancient scenery in a fashion
which makes the made-over dress look
almost like a new gown. Therefore,
instead of harpooning him .with the
critical slap-stick, let us praise him
for performing a skillful bit of dra
matic dressmaking. He has applied
'his patches with deft-fingers, added a
bit of the delicate lace of romance
here and there, and put on a slash 1
of color in the form of a revenge mo
tive. It makes a rather stunning thing
completed. Those who saw the play
(at the Metropolitan last night, found
that it heid them in close attention.
It is sufficiently Imbued with melo
dramatic elements to induce the audi
ence to sit on the edge of its seat in
eager excitement. It haB a lot of
thrill. It moves In the same class as
the business. He,, will pay all
standing obligations of the nrm.
