The story Is tpid of the late flov ernor ttoverldge of Indiana that when he was a frexlnmin student at Pc i'atlw university he made application to tho prcHldcnt of that tiiKlltutlon for a loan of two hundred and fifty dol lars. It ni I pretty larxe sum In (hone days, and loan funds were not unlimited. The prealdeiit hexl luted. "How do you propose to pay the money back?" the president asked. "I have been looking through the catalogue," 'Mr. lleverldgt mild, "and I see that there Is a total of three hundred dollars In prlr.es offered for excellence In oratory and debating. I propone to win these prlies, and If I do, I shall have fifty dollars to the good after paying my obligation to the college." The president was stunned 'for a moment, but he recovered himself shortly and agreed to approve the loan, and the record shows that Mr. Itoverldge won the three hundred dol lars, paid his obligation to the college, and had fifty dollars balance to spend as he liked. It was poxxlhly an In flated aelf assurance, but he capital ized on It successfully tunny times during a long and successful life. It Is a good thing to believe In your self. One can have too much fulth, It Is true, but too Utile la worse. Howe has good training, a at rung healthy body, and a first-rate mind, hut he finds It hard to get a Job, and he can not hold one. The only reason Is that he loses his nerve, he doesn't believe Id himself, and so no one else does. (CD. 1810.

Taxation Is dissipating some of Great Britain's oldest and largest fortunes, transferring the own ership of vnst estates and discourag ing the amassing of wealth. The death duties are the most keen ly felt of all taxes, and they rank sec ond In the list of the government's sources of Income. The l'.V'J) budget revealed that more than I,(i0.imK(,iki was expected from estale duties. The huge landowners have evolved several means of defeating this taxa tion. The most popular Is to convert existing ownership Into private lim ited llublllty companies. In this way the cost of operating the companies can be deducted from the Income tax U&s h2 hi I if?

Not only does It trill the airy cadenr.ns of Its feathered kin, but actually sings words as well as music. "Maryland, My Maryland" Is one of the fuvorlte numbers In Its repertoire. And. while Its natural voice Is a lyric soprano, it can on occasion negotiate tenor or bass. Moreover, It talks! All the neigh bors have heard It Nor Is that all. It tukca a keon delight In animal and barnyard Imi tations, mimicking the "bow wow" of the family wutiiulog and the rolster oua challenge of t lie ahelk of the hen house. The early history of this accom plished musician and all around enter tulner Is veiled In mystery. Its rec "ord dates back to n predatory stroll four years ago of Mrs. L. It. Itetts' pet cat. Kitty pounced upon what appeared to be a small blackbird and was on Iter way to dispose of It at her leisure w hen a delivery boy turned the bird, more dead than ullve, over to Mrs. Betts. Slio uursed It back to health. The little creature was not long In expressing Its gratitude in song. Un der the tutelage of Its mistress, she says, It has learned to sing two stan zas of "Maryland, My Maryland." Mrs. Hetts' prodigy Is never ot a loss for conversational topics. And when there la nobody to talk to it amuses Itself whistling. If a boy of the neighborhood drops In the bird Is accustomed to Inquire casually, "Are you a basebnller?" or to ask, "Will your dog bite?" P.elng nameless, the bird on occa sion appeara concerned over Its ori gin and not Infrequently startles an unsuspecting visitor with the plain By WALTER TRUMBULL In progress am snow In the air.

There Is nothing remark able In this, us Mrs. Akeley Is on friendly terms wllh many African rulers. The remarkable thing Is that tho letter was written on a typewriter. Tho record for continuous playing on I'.ro.tdway Is held, as far as I know, by James C. Lane. In the past dozen years, he has played Broad Any about C.000 performances. Lane started with John Colden In "Turn to the Jtlght." After that he played four years In "Llghtnln'" and has ployed In almost all Golden shows since. He never has fulled to make good In a part John Golden claims that, given a character part. Lane become the character. He played a bartender and every time you aaw him, you smelt liquor. His last part Is that of a doctor and he no sooner comes on the stage thun the audience gets a faint odor of Iodoform. When Lane Isn't acting, he works around the Gol den offices. The first time, years ago, that Golden found Inne fixing up his desk and straightening things In his private office, he asked him what he was doing. "Oh." said Lane. "I Just like to put things In order." "How much do you want to do this Job?" Inquired Golden. "Nothing," said Lnne. "You're hired," said Golden. And Lane has been keeping things In order ever since. Golden says ha plays that part so well that while he Is working around the office he smells of Ink. He la a good actor, to any character. (t 1130. B.ll Iradlrtu.t DODGE DEATH DUTIES payments, the amount of taxation re duced during life, and death duties avoided. It likewise has the added Induce nvent of protecting the estutes from reckless heirs' extravagancies. Among those titled owners who have trans formed their estates Into private lia bility companies have been the dukes of Huceleuch, Devonshire, Grafton. Lelnster, Marlborough, Rutland and Sutherland; marquis of Zetland, the earls of Berkeley, Iamley, Harewood, Moray, Ossory, Uoseberg. Spencer and Strathmore, and Viscounts Novar, L'llswater and Wemborne. Another plan Is transferring prop erty to a younger member of the fam tive query, "Say, am I a starling?" In Its lighter moments It greets Its audience with the Invitation "Kiss your mother," followed up with a ae ries of osculatory sounds.
