HE WAS ONLY A NEWSBOY.
You’ll Have to Hurry!
But
Ho Had a Motto That Pointed to
the Road to Success.
newsb y stood on a blustery night

with a pile of newspapers at his feet
watching for customers at a subway
entrance in New York. In a bantering
way as a gentleman hurried by be said
to the little newsboy. "You can't sell
all those papers tonight." The lad
looked up with a smile and said, "1
can try.”
No bread line or bundle day for this
sturdy American lad or for the fine,
wholesome man be is bound to be as
he grows up.
“1 can try!" Good for the newsboy
who said It; a motto for the girl at
school poring over her lessons, for the
mechanic toiling In the shop, the mer
chant busy in the counting room, the
banker In his office, the professional
man at his desk, the preacher in his
study, the architect with his drawings
and the astronomer at the telescope.
The world has been built by those
who can and who do try. They put to
shame the Idler, the sluggard, the
drone, the complaining and the ne'er-
do-wells forever thrusting themselves
forward to beg for special considera
tion.
The world would be better in every
way If it had a revival of the good old
fashioned spirit of self dependence that
American fathers and mothers taught
their children at their knees, mingling
patriotism with their prayers. God
speed the day when the spirit of young
America shall be every where.—John A.

An Ancient Legend That Every One
Should Know by Heart.
There Is an ancient legend of a man
who faced the great day of final reck
oning. He had lived as well perhaps
as most of us while bere below. At
last be stood before the Judge of all
the earth. His record was unfolded
The face of the Judge seemed to him
to grow clouded as he traced Its story
The record was pushed aside. The
eyes of the Judge were lifted until
they rested upon the man. The lips
were parted as if the sentence was
about to fall.
Suddenly from every quarter there
gathered a shining host of forms which
pressed about the judgment seat They
appeared to be In conference with the
Fudge. It looked as though with eager
faces they were urging certain claims
Then they vanished from sight as mys
teriously as they came. The Judge
smiled, turned to a messenger clad in
radiant robes of office and bade him
conduct the man whose case he had
just considered into the realms of the
blessed.
As they moved away the man said to
his guide, “Tell me, who were those
who Just now stood in numbers about
the Judge and held converse with
him ?”

SECRET OF A FLOWER.
EDITING SHAKESPEARE.
How Did the Trumpet Vins Discover
the Barsd Stump?
Nicholas Rowe, Poet Laureate, Was the
First to Attempt It.
If some one advanced the theory that
this plant had some unknown power
of reasoning you would probably reply
that “plants can’t reason because they
have no mind." You may change your
opinion after you hear this story,
related by Royal Dixon, who writes
entertainingly about how near like hu
man beings in their actions plants are.
The story Is about a trumpet vine,
the favorite of many an old fashioned
garden. About twenty feet from where
It grew was an old pine stump with
the bark on. One day a fire was built
about the foot of the stump, and the
bark was burned off.
Immediately the trumpet vine sent
forth a long trailer across the garden
to the stump. It raised the tendrils,
felt the smooth surface of the stump
and started to climb. Before long the
whole blackened surface was hidden
beneath the leaves and blossoms of the
new vine.
With the rough bark on the stump
provided no surface for the clinging
tendrils of the vine. After the fire de-
stroyed the bark the vine found a
place to climb.
How did the plant know that the
(ire had prepared the stump? We don't
know. Ask the flower.—Philadelphia
North American.
The first folio was printed partly
from the earlier quartos and partly
from manuscript copies in the hands of
players. It did not have the careful
editing that so important a work
should have had, but it preserved from
destruction a number of the plays that
had not appeared in quarto form.
Nicholas Rowe, poet laureate and
dramatist, in his edition of 1709 made
the first attempt to edit Shakespeare in
the modern sense. He modernized
spelling, punctuation and grammar,
added lists of dramatis personae and
divided the acts and scenes properly.
Since his time editors have been busily
engaged In corrections and emenda
tions.
Alexander Pope, the second editor,
issued his Shakespeare in 1723, and
this was followed In 1733 by Lewis
Theobald's edition, whose bitter attack
upon Pope In “Shakespeare Restored”
led to the latter’s making Theobald the
dull and pedantic hero of his "Dun-
clad.” The handsome edition by Sir
Thomas Hanmer appeared In 1744 and
William Warburton's In 1747. Dr.
Samuel Johnson's edition was publish
ed in 1765. Then came Edward Ca-
pell’s in 1767-68, George Steevens' in
1773, Joseph Rann's in 178(5-94 and

Cellini’s Quick Cure.
Benvenuto Cellini when about to cast
his famous statue of Perseus, now In
the Loggia del Lanzi nt Florence, was
taken with a sudden fever. In the
midst of his suffering one of his work
men rushed into his sick chamber and
exclaimed, “Oh, Benvenuto, your stat
ue is spoiled, and there is no hope
whatever of saving It!" Cellini said
that when he heard this he gave a
howl and leaped from his bed. Dress
ing hastily, he rushed to his furnace
and found his metal “caked." He or-
dered dry oak wood and fired the fur
nace fiercely, working in a rain that
was falling. Stirred the channels and
saved his metal. He continues the sto
ry thus: “After all was over I turned
to a plate of salad on a bench there
and ate with a hearty appetite and
drank together with the whole crew.
Afterward I retired to my bed, healthy
and happy, for It was two hours be
fore morning, and slept as sweetly as
If I had never felt a touch of illness."

Curious Church Architecture.
The parish church of Ormskirk, In
Lancashire, England, has a tower and
a spire side by side. The tower is built
over the porch at the west end, and the
spire is placed as closely as possible
to It. The origin of this architectural
freak has not been ascertained, but.
there Is a tradition to the effect that
when Orme, the Saxon pirate from
whom the town derives its name, de
cided to construct a kirk, or church,
as an expiatory offering for his evil
deeds his two daughters quarreled over
the "design for the structure. One de
termined to have a tower; the other
was equally resolved to have a steeple.
As neither of them would give way
the pirate chief acceded to both their
wishes, and the curious mas see the
tower and spire still keeping watch
side by side on the surrounding coun-
try.
