'THE GRUATETES ideas and Inspiration Taken by One Author From Another. BUT GENIUS BORROWS NOBLY The Crude Ore Is Refined and the Raw Material Fashioned into a Thing of Beauty-Shakespeare as a Most Bril liant Example. Our great writers are not great rob bers. Literature is not a repository of stolen goods. What seem like steal lngs by the steel pen are rather the output of the lapidar-y or a reissue of the mint or, better still, the borrow ings from a bank repaid with interest. "It is wonderful," says Charles Reade, "how genius can borrow." "All literature," remarks Oliver Wendell Holmes, "lives by borrowing and lend ing," and, he adds, '"A good image is like a diamond, which may be set a hundred times in as many generations and gain new beauties with erm-:y change." This Is not a question of origInality. '"The lightIng a canudle at a neighbor's fire," observes Dean Swift, "does not affect our property in the wick and flame." "Genius bor rows nobly." The transference is often a transmutation. For brass, the borr-ower brings gold, and for iron, silver, and for wood, brass, and for stones, iron. The eide ore is refined and the raw material fashioned into a thing of beauty. It has been pointed out by Mr. Huth in his "Life of Buckle" that there is a kind of pedigree in literature. Dante avows his indebtedness to Virgil, as the latter himself was under obliga tions to Homer. Ariosto owes much to Virgil, and Spenser borrows frequently from Ariosto. Spenser's "Faerle Queene" .gave birth to Fletcher's "Purple Is land," and this to Bernard's "Isle of Man," and this in turn to Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" and Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress"-all like so nmany blossoms rising from the one stem.. Shakespeare has been called -"the great Warwickshire thief," so inveter ate is his borrowing habit He invaded literature like a Napoleon and brought back the rarest art treasures to enrich and beautify his verse. One Is sur prised to learn that our dramatist has no original plots, that he has given to poetry, no new rhythm or stanza and that "he ran not only In the old road, but in the old ruts." His "As You Like It" is taken from an old romance. The characters of his "Julius Caesar" are old Romans taken from Plutarch. But what borrowing! Dry bones are turned into living men. The common est materials are taken into the lam bent flame of his genius and transmut ed into airy beauty. Milton, too, is a free borrower. It is this fact,.indeed, that makes his verse so rich in learned reminiscence and so gorgeous with "barbaric pearl and gold." He owes much to Shakespeare. Some critics think Milton's Eve is bor rowed from Shakespeare's Miranda. In the "Taming of the Shrew" occurs the line: As morning roses newly washed in dew. While Milton in "T'Allegro" speaks of Fresh blown roses washed in dew. Milton is a very mIne to many. Pope is his debtor. Milton's '"Smoky Sor ceress"-a woman to the waist and fair, but "ending foul in many a scaly fold voluminous and vast"-is made to say, "They call me sin and for a sign portentous hold me; but, familiar grown, I pleased and with attractive graces won the most averse." Pope sings: Vice is a monster of so frightful mien As to be hated needs but to be seen; But seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace. Tennyson must have had in ulipd Milton's Hanging in a golden chain This pendent world when he wrote: The whole round world is every way Bound by geld chains about the feet of God. Tennyson, indeed, derives much of his exquisite imagery and felicitous phras ing from authors whose names, even. many literary men do not know. Pope borrows his "Vital Spark" Idea from an old poem by Thomas Fiatman. Byron gets his "Eagle Feather" im age in his "English Bards and Scotch Reviewers" from Aeschylus, who flour ished In the fifth century before ourg era. Coleridge owes his "Ode to Mont Blanc" to a German poem by Friedrich Brown. Bishop Ken is Indebted for his thought in "The Evening Hymn" to Sir Thomas Browne In his "Colloquy WIth God." In his own characteristic manner Rudyard Kipling has met the ques tion of unconscious thievery with a bit of verse which commences: When 'Omer smote 'Is bloomin' lyre 'E'd 'card men sing by land and sea. And wot 'e thought 'e might require 'E went an' took the same as me. Let Shakespenre's lines close this paper: I'll example you with thievery: The sun's a thief, and with his great at traction Rtobs the vast sea; the moon's an arsrant thief, And her pale fire she snatches from tho sun; The sea's a thief, whose liquid surge re solves The moon into salt tears; the earth's a thief That feeds and breeds by a composture -stolen From general excrement; each thing's a thief. -S. B. Dunn in Circle Magazine. Mercy to him that shows it is the rule.-Cowper Those wvho have stomach troudle, no matter how slight, should give every possible help to the digestive organs, so that the food may be digested with the least effort. This may be done by taking something that contains natural digestive properties-something like Kodol For Indigestion and Dyspepsia. Kodol is a preparation of vegetable acid and contains the very same juices found in a healthy stomach. It digests what you eat. Sold by W. E. Brown & Co. Elephants. People who really know nothing about it nsed to say that elephants never lie down to sleep. This is not true at all, says one writer. They have been known to stand for twelve months without lying down to sleep. This is regarded as want of confidence in their keepers and of longing to re gain their liberty, for when they are perfectly at ease and reconciled to their fate they will lie down on their sides and sleep peacefully.

A Scottish paper tells a story of an old Scottish woman who was "unco' drouthie," without- the money to buy "a drapple." "Lassie," she said to her little granddaughter, "gang round to )onald McCallum and bring me a gill. Tell him I'll pay him ' the morn ng." Back came the child with a refusal. Donald declined to part with his whis ky without the cash. Eager and frri tated, the old, woman east about for some means of "raising the wind," and her eye fell upon the family Bible. "Here, lassie," she said, "gte him this and tell him to keep it until I bring him the siller." Off went the little girl, but she soon returned, still car rying the Bible. Donald was obdurate. "He says he mnaun hae the baubees first, granny." In anger the disappointed grand mother threw up her hands and ei elamed: "Losh, did onybody ever hear the like o' that!

If all labor difficulties could be adjusted with the celerity and de ision displayed by Prof. Jewett, the famous master of Ballio], question of -employer and employ ee would not manifest themselves in so violent a -manner as is fre quent- The famous teacher was noted for his brevity of speech and dispatch of 'business, but these qualities never shone to greater advantage than on the famous occasion of his dealing with the refractory washerwomnen of Malliol. These worthy bamnes struck for higher wages in one department. Twelve collars for a shilling was the statutory price. They came to present their claim to the mas - '-The washerwomnen have come to see you," said the butler. "Show the ladies up," said the master. They clumped into the room, to find him poking the fire. He turned around. "Will you wash twelve collars for a shilling?" he asked quietly. They began to expostulate. He touched the bell; in came the butler. "Show the ladies down," Presently the butler appeared again. "They seem very sorry, sir would like to see you again.' Show them up." The washerwomen found the master iutent. as before, on the fire grate. "Will you wash twelve collars fo- a shilling?"piped his cherry little voice. A stalwart speaker began to make explanations. He touched the bell. "Show these ladies down," he said, and down they went. Aga in the butler reppeared,expr'ess ing a hope that the master would see the women again. "Certainly. Show them up." They entered the doom for the third time. "Will you wash twelve collars for a shillinlg?" "We will!" they cried. "Thank you-good day, good da!" said the master.

Will leave for Chicago tonight on 3 train. Meet me. This Is the text of a ten word mee sage which I received the other night from a friend in an Ohio city. He had started for Chicago before the tele gram was received by me, and while I wanted Immensely to meet him at the station instead. of.making the least ef fort to do so I took It out in swearing. In sending a telegram announcing-an arrival the name of the road and the train number are the two absolute es sentials. It will be a help to the recip lent of the message in most cases If the time of the arrival of the train be given also. Frequently, as between the two stations involved in such. a mes sage, a difference of one hour in stand ard time otherwise might confuse. But as between the number of the train and the numerals in the hour of ar rival the telegrapher has a chance of error, and in writing the message. these two sets of numerals should be separated by the name of the- road. Taking the ten word message as the standard of length, then, any person going anywhere from any station on any railroad may use the one set form of telegraphic announcement of ar rival: Arrive No. 5, Lake Shore. due 8 g'clock Monday morning.
