Tlio (iticstlon of box never nppenrs ro kIkhiiIIu to u iiiiiii ns wiipii lie starts out In search of u sorvntit girl. The recent death of the nuthor of "Hen Molt" hits Htarted the old Hong on ItH hiHt nnuuiil farewell tour. When the truth about war comes out It Is like the iiioiihIch, riliMKrcciiuIe but better thus than If It struck In. .Mr. Stead will donate to the HrltlRn niUHcuin the pipe imed by Mr. IthotleH In IiIh "devout drenniliiB," as Mr. Kip lliiK tcrniH It.

With a slnglo notable exception, the hotels of Chicago will be eondijeted hereafter on the Eu ropean plan exclusively. A .Southern uiau advertises for n lost cow "with one horn that wives milk." There would be more money for her In n museum than In the dairy. "What makes novels popular?" In quires the Washington Post. Clover authors. Nothing else can, although advertlsliiK sometimes helps. IteportH from New York are to the effect that Mayor Low has about made up his mind that It Is a waste of energy to try to please all the people all the time. Miss Stone attributes her release from the brigands to the elllcaey of prayer. The brlpinds, however, prob ably tako a mure inaterlallstlu view of It. The fact that Kiiglaml has taken about ? 1(10,000,(11)0 down to South Afri ca and burned It up males the taxpayer grunt a bit as he gets his shoulder un der the load. The Chicago woman who wanted a divorce because her husband quoted poolry to her has been defeated In court. It really begins to look us If poetry and the poets were coming to the front. An Indiana man has a box of cigars that his wife gave him as a Christmas present thlrty-nlno years ago. Ho Heeins to have over since been endeavor lug to Jack his courage up tojho point necessary to tackle them. Mark Twain has bought n ?M),00) home. Mark has of late scolded about as much he has been funny. Ho would confer a great favor upon thu humor ists all over our broad laud by explain ing whether lie got the price of the place by being cross or gay. Is the fountain of youth to be found In a berry patch? The Anaiuese believe that strawberries will make old people young. The theory would ralso strong er holies In the average mind were It not that the Auauicso also hold that a rabid dog can, by biting the shadow of a man, communicate hydrophobia to him. The search for the fount must continue. Tommy Atkins may be nn absent minded beggar, but he Is not u forget ful one. In the past year hu that Is, the Ilrltlsh soldiers In South Africa sent live million dollars In postal or ders to relatives at home, and this de spite the fact that he Is on pretty small pay. Such thrlftlness proves that, al though he may not be Invincible In the Held, he can win victories over Ids own appetites and temptallous-aud that Is to be the best kind of soldier. There Is a type of hero that the condi tions of modern life have deevlopod, and which seems destined to prove that knighthood Is far from going to seed and Is, In fact, still In llower. This is the elevator hero, the man or boy who when the lire lleud rages keops to his post and performs his duties. One nat urally cxpcctH that a captain will stick to his ship and that an engineer will lie true to Ids engine, but no such re sponsibility rests upon the elevator man, whom many might think Justltled In deserting his place. Yet how fre quently one reads of his braving the perils of an ascent Into biuoke and rt allies ami of being the means of sav ing hundreds of panic-stricken human lK'lugs. Thu life of an elevator man, un enviable In Its seeming monotony and dreariness, seems little calculated to develop heroism, but till quality often appears In unexpected places, or rather lu unsuspected persons. Men who have not yet decided In, their minds whether, they ought to remove their hats lu an elevator In deference to feminine occu pants might be on the safe side should they uncover to the possible hero that lurks In every elevator man, The distressing discomforts and dis advantages of being rich have lnvn ex patiated upon by the votaries of penury from time Immemorial. Poverty giues pitifully through the burred windows of wealth and perceives Us depriva tions nnd llufltattoiis. The poor have the tiouudless freedom of nature with nil Its unrestrained abandon; thu rich nro hemmed In by the circumstances of opulence, restricted lu their enjoy ments to the very things they possess. lu this view way be fouud tho couso- Intlons of poverty. In on address be fore the Society for the Study of Uto In the Tuxedo, In New York, Perclvnl Chubb summed up In a very Interesting and original way the "misfortunes of the children of the wealthy." Mr. Chubb Is reduced almost to tears as ho contemplates the pitiful cleanliness of the children of the rich, their "anaemic primness" and their deprivations In the way of mud pics and other possession that delight the soul of q child. "A good roll In the mud Is what they need," says I'erclvnl Chubb. Mud plci, he declares, would be their "salvation." There Is no doubt that this question of mud Is sadly neglected In most homes of the rich. We doubt If there Is 'one wealthy home In fifty where there are children that has a mud pie attachment or any facilities for taking a roll In the mud. In this way the souls of the chil dren of the rich are stunted and dwarfed. Their development Is not normal. When they grow older they will not know mud when they see It, let alone be able to handle It. In the race of life their names "will bo Mud." ln view of the fact that the gospel of success Is bong preached so generally, and advice as to money-making meth ods Is so freely offered to young men, It Is somewhat singular that compara tively little Is said as to what shall be done with the money when It Is earned. Yet It Is doubtful If tho mr.n of mod erate Income has a more dllllcult ques tion to consider than that of Investing his savings so they will bo safe and shall give him some reasonable return. For this reason nn address recently de livered by Vice President Forgim of the First National Hank at tho University of Chicago was particularly timely and Interesting. Mr. Forgan advises the man who has money at his disposal to try any proposed Investment by threo tests: First, safety; second, prollt; and, third, permanence. He cautious them against all schemes which promise to pay extravagantly high rewards lu In terest or dividends and against careless Investment lu Industrial stocks. In com mon with most business men he seems to regard llrst mortgages on farm lauds as one of the best real estate Invest ments possible, but warns all purchas ers of mortgages to see that no prior lieu rests upon the property lu question. This Is all sound advice and worth the attention of prospective Investors, but It Is to be wished that still other pru dent and successful men of business would amplify It for the hcncllt espe cially of the person of limited means. The owner of a considerable fortune generally has special opportunities for finding where he can best put his mon ey. At least ho can afford to pay largo commissions for expert advice. It Is the man who after hard work has saved up a few hundred or a few thou sand who lluds the problem most trou blesome. Naturally he desires to get the best returns possible on the sum at ids disposal. Yet the rate of Interest on In vestments Is now much lower than It was a few years ago. In a mnjorlty of cases ho lluds himself In a dilemma be tween Investments which are safe but pay a very small return and those which are more or less doubtful but promise a considerable reward. Tho most Important fact for the small In vestor to bear lu mind Is that no matter how he means to make his money work for him he must watch his Investment constantly. Whatever he buys mort gages, slocks, bonds or real estate he must look after It, keeping his eyes open for all changes that may affect Ids Interests and preparing to meet them. Care anil labor are required to keep money as well as to earn It. A large proportion of the loss borne by the In vestors Is duo to the Idea that an Interest-bearing Investment once made re quires no further thought or attention. "Safety and small returns" should bo the watchword of all Investors under ordinary conditions.

I'attl was staying for a few days lu an Isolated village at tho extreme end of Yorkshire.

Tattl Incognita, of course offered to oblige the audience with a song or two. Then she sang, In her own glorious way, threo of her sweetest ballads. At the close tho chairman approached and, In solemn tones, thanked her. "Well, miss," ho said, "you've done uncommon well. And although 4Arry Ock, the Juggler, who thinks iiowt of tnkln' 'old of 'ot pokers and n-swallor-In needles, couldn't turn up, yet you've pleased us very considerable, miss."
