It to Wordsworth, says an English magazine. Wordsworth bad Just re turned from n Journey nnd was In hi* garden writing a poem on what he had seen. The visitor found the great poet n white haired, tall, sparely built man. of a rugged, rustle type, with nothing, unless It ^ r u the fine eyes, to bint of the poet. Wordsworth made no ceremony over the visit of the man from n far land, but said Instantly when he was called to greet him. “I f you are Interested In my poetry perhaps you will like to bear these lines." Emerson politely agreed, and this is wjiat happened. Emerson bas himself written tbe story- down for us. The old poet thought for a few moments, then stood forth ! and repeated with great animation an ' entire poem he bad written. •Tbe recitation,” the American phi losopher wrote afterward, “was so un locked for and surprising—Words worth standing apart and reciting to mo In a garden walk, like a schoolboy declaiming—that at first I wns near to laughing; but, recoll -ctlng myself that 1 bad come thus far to soc a poet nnd he was chanting poems to me, I saw that be was right and that 1 was wrong, nnd I gladly gave myself up to hear.” % Z S Z S Z S Z S Z S S Z S Z S ^ ^ S S ZS^ZSZSZSZSZSZS&t F I R S T N A T IO N A L B A N K j.

When distributed upon a floor or other level surface within two or three feet of one another they immediately begin to travel to ward a common center and there lie huddled like n clutch of eggs In a nest. A single stone removed to n distance of three nnd n half feet upon being released at once started with wonder ful nnd somewhat comical celerity to Join its fellows. These queer stones nre found In a region that Is compara tively level nnd little more than bare rock. Scattered over this barren re gion nre little basins from a few feet to n rod or two In diameter, and It Is (n the bottoms of these that the roll lug stones nre found. The cause for the strange conduct of these stones is doubtless to be found In the material of which they nre composed, which ap pears to he lodestone or magnetic Iron ore.—Harper’s Weekly. mw i m J ,| : LÌ The practice observed nuioiiu Span Ish hidalgos of allowing the linger nails to grow Into claws »as in deni onstrate that they had ue\er dime any manual work. The same custom ex tsts among tbe Chinese for itie same reason. Among the Romans the wearing of long sleeves, which came down over the hand, was tbe fashion in arista cratic circles. This advertised to the world thnt the wearer did not engage In nny labor nnd freedom from em ployment was the condition of re spectability. English boots nnd shoes have been designed more or less for the same purpose ns that of the Chinese, who bind their women's feet In proof of their gentility. As early.as the time of William Rufus “peaked toed boots and shoes” had their points made like a scorpion’s tall, and a courtier unrn ed Robert stuffed his out with tow. and caused them to curl round in the form of n ram’s horn, a fashion which took mightily among the nobles. It Is plain that the purpose of this fash ion was to show that the privileged wearer wns not dependent on any kind of labor or fleetness of foot for Ids dally bread. The practice of wearing tight fitting boots und shoes Is an old one. for Chaucer, writing of them In his day. says that it Is— s » * o r y -X M í/ih - > ij a 1 y ^ v r ' •O '— Í I----- L W e Do U p Ladies’ Waists Just as they would have them.

The effort to arrange a boxing cir cuit, Including Indianapolis, Milwau kee, Kansas City and New Orleans, by the clubs In these cities. Is progress ing favorably. The Idea Is to form a circuit something on the order of a baseball league for the purpose of up lifting the sport nnd obtaining better and cleaner boxing. The clubs in the cities named above have been endeavoring to come to an agreement for some time, nnd now there seems to be nothing In the way to stop the fulfillment of their plnns. With clubs In each of the cities named, it would be easier for them to arrange for a better class of boxers to appear all through the circuit, the same as^s done in vaudeville, as there would be a saving In railroad fares In bringing to the circuit better men from tbe east nnd paying their expenses, where as, single handed, they could not stand the expense. Washington A ft er Big Regatta. Rowing enthusiasts of Washington are forming plans to obtain tbe 1912 middle states regatta. Willie a meet ing to select a place for holding the events will not be called until next May, the Washington rowing clubs have already sounded the opinion in other rowing centers nnd have met with little opposition to their plans to hold the next meeting on the Poto mac. The success of regattns held re cently at the Capital City has created much enthusiasm, and there will be little difficulty in raising sufficient funds to cover the necessary expenses. It Is planned to hold the regattas be tween the four cities Interested In se quence, starting nt New York In 1913, then Philadelphia In 1914, Baltimore In A Legen d of Agincourt.

The wife of an English cabinet min ister had promised to stand godmother to an infant nnd. calling on the parents a dny or two previous to the christen ing. expressed her regret thnt her hus band had nothing left at his disposal of any Importance nnd thnt the only thing he could do for her godson was to put his name on the pension list ns a superannuated general postman. The offer was accepted. The pension was regularly paid to the parents dur ing the minority of their son und to him afterwnrd ns long as he lived. He thrived In the world, became un aider- man and attained n considerable age. often declaring that he had more pleas ure in pocketing the few pounds he drew half yearly from this source thnn he derived from the receipt of any oth er portion of his Income. He died a few days after one pay ment wns due, and one of his executors camo to town to announce ills decease nnd to receive the money. On asking the clerk who paid him If It wns neces sary to produce a certificate of the death he was answered: “Oh. no, not In the least. I will take your word for It. My father paid his pension ns long as he lived, nnd 1 have paid it myself for the last thirty years.

The displaying of a personality beneath the makeup, the incarnation of a written character In flesh and blood, by n sheer net of genius on the part of the actor in fill ing a part with his own personality tempered to the limitations of his role —the creation. In short, of a living, visible and Intelligible being, is the grand goal of the actor’s art. How well Richard Mansfield knew thnt art! In his performances you saw an Impenetrable makeup; but, though Mansfield was hidden, behind the disguise were the brains of the greatest dramatic genius of our gen eration. fashioning steadily and su perbly a character as be conceived It out of tho materials placed at his com mand by tho playwright—Henry Kol- ker In National Magazine.
