HUMOROUS AND

i (New Orleans Times-Democrat.)
"By the way, did you know that the
legs can be used to good advantage
by the man who is much accustomed to
appearing in public, such as lecturers,
speakers and so on?" asked an observ
ant man. "It is a fact, whether you
know It or not. 1 can guess the drift
of your mind, but candidly I am not
thinking of any funny business now.
I Of course, the first thing that will "oc
cur to you Is the stage, and the rare
i and racy shows which are sometimes

1 nnd flubdubberles, kicks In a .high key,
serpentine whirls, flippant ladies, cho
rus extra agances and all that sort or'
; thing. There Is something in that, too,
: but speaking of the stage, I can get
a more serious and sober glimpse of the
very thing I have in mtnd by recalltng
some of the noted men of the stage in
the last quarter of a century. Salvini's
use of his legs In 'A Child of Naples,'
I or In the "Three Guardsmen,' may be
mentioned. His leg gestures, If I may
use thu expression, were more impres
sive than any movement he made with
his hands and arms.
. sl 6mlthAMsIL -
Somehow they seem to give a better
portrayal of the Idea tnan any other
thing said or done by the great tragedian.
Take that popular and finished actor,
Sol Smith Russell. Can you Imagine
anything more striking than the way he
used his legs in 'A Poor Relation' or
In 'Bewitched?' It was of the very es
sence of the plot. If the actor had not
spoken a word" I feel that I should have
understood how he felt and what he
meant. It was a dumb sort of leg elo
quence and leg- pathos. Go tothe lecture
platform. Did you ever notice the pecu
liar, 1erky stride of ex-Governor Bob
Taylor? In his witty flights half the hu
mor seems to be In his legs, and when he
throws his limbs back he seems to un
Jolnt rJhem at the knee, so they bend
and curve In the wrong way. It Is aw

who jJlteraUy towered, growing out of his
shoes -nto the splendid proportions of
a giant, and yet never moving a muscle
of his body beyond those disturbed by
tfhe eloquence which rolled from his
tongue. It was simply the flat-footed,
stiff-legged stand that Impressed you
It gave you the Idea of vigor, earnest
ness, unfaltering determination; - T
might go on to other examples, but

I AMONG THE ttUB WOMEN, j
The most interesting bit of news la
clubdom today Is, that the executive
board of the General Federation has ac
cepted th invitationi of thfe Wednesday
Club to hold the next biennial convention
in St, Louis In May, 1961. The exact date
of opening has cot as yet been set. To
many this win hi a matter of pleasure
and congratulation, but it will generally
be those who consider the matter from
a selfish or economical standpoint, with,
the real work to be accomplished by
the biennial convention, in the back
ground. It is an established fact that
when there are other attractions the at
tention of the delegates will be divided,
and the business upon such occasions be
comes a secondary consideration.
Other announcements of interest are,
that Mrs. Anna D. West of Massachu
setts has been appointed chairman of the
next convention program committee, and
Mrs. Noyes of Milwaukee Ichairman of
the biennial committee... Recommenda
tions to these committees are: "That
fewer papers be read and more time be
devoted to the discussion of such pa
pers as ure presented." AIbo "To pro
cure speakers on all topics, as far as
possible, from the members of the Gen
eral Federation. These recommendations
Hie timely and will b appreciated by
regular attendants, at these conventions.

AN ITALIAN GUEST.
Eastern club women are giving a round
of entertainments In honor of Countess

country. She Is the editor and founder
of the only magazine published In Eng

headway and doing much to break down
the aristocratic prejudice against trade
and business careers for educated men.
Countess Salazar Is the leader of a little
band of women, who work earnestly for
Industrial education, or manual training
in the schools, to which work the Dow

America.
JEWISH COUNCIL.
The National Council of Jewish Women
only convenes trlennlally, but a resolu
tion was offered at the recent convention
In Baltimore to theffect that, as 1H04
would be the tenth anniversary of the
forming of the order, it would be fitting
to celebrate Its birthday in St. Louis,
with something like an international
council to discuss questions pertaining to
the Jews. A question of the constltu
tlonallty of this arrangement being rais
ed, the matter was deferred. There is no
section In St. Louis.
THERE ARE OTHERS
At a recent New York convention there
was some lively parliamentary sparring,
and no work being accomplished till Mrs.

GEN. BLACK

Dwells Upon His Simple Home
Manners.
Gen. John C. Black, In his address at
the dedication of the monument erected
over the grave of Abraham Lincoln's
mother, speaking of the pioneer women
of this Western eountry, Eald:
"And those mothers have been blessed.
The aimple garments that they wove and
fashioned have clothed the conquering
race of the ages. Sons nnd daughters
nurtured at their bosoms are In the fore
most tiles of time; and it may well be
that when tortunes change, as .they. will,
and prosperity depans'from many, as Is
sure, they, the children who then shall
suffer, can, by it reverent n-currence io

mestic virtues of the mothers, regain the

Poverty and Wealth.
Men can be great, virtuous, public-
spirited and eelf-8aeriflclng, even though
they do bo rich. And it is quite possible
that some, even of tho pioneers, who en
dured much hardships and lived so plain
ly, were themselves sordid and selfish.
Poverty does not make a man good, and
wealth does not make him bad;- Many
people will, if they consider the cost at
.11, appe..l to these undoubted facts as
sufficient answer to Gen. Black's in-
lletment. But they are no answer at all.
If we are honest with ourselves we
must acknowledge that this country is .
nil of "tawdry magnificence," and that
there is here the sort of opulence or
whitib the oraior spoke. Almost no trav
eler from a foreign land comes here who
does not express astonishment at our
luxury. It Is. at least In certain sections
of the country, the most obvious feature
of our civilization. Gorgeous apparei,
homes that are palaces, feasts that aro
frequently marked by such splendor as
ilmost to stagger the imagination, su
perb equipages, and a, riotousness in en
tertainments and amusements that we
have to go back centuries to find a prece
dent for-for witih. all these things we an
painfully familiar. . They have befprae s
much ii matter of course as no longer t -
excite much Vmment. Magnificence thert
mrclv Is. and much of it Is tawdry, be
cause It is extravagant and overdone ano

Mr. Rockefeller spoke of the yielding
of Pilate to the demands of the mob.
Marry men irf- the present day are-lHie -
'Hate." said Mr. Rockefeller. "In that
they do not stand out for right when
urged by the populace to do wrong. '
Public clamor causes many to turn
way from justice and right and to that
which for the moment seems to please
the public." -
