Before fame crane to him Bernard Shaw wrote dramatie criticisms for the London Saturday Review. The following sample is characteristic of the man: "1 am in a somewhat foolish posi tion concerning a play at the Opera Comicue. whither I was bidden this day week. For some reason I was not supplied with a program, so that I never learned the name of the play. At the end of the second act the play had advanced about as far as an or dinary dramatist would have brought it tive minutes after the first rising of the c':rtala or, say, as far as Ibsen would have brought it ten years be fore that event. Taking advantage of the second interval to stroll :1ut into the Strand for a little exercise. I un fortunately forgot aIl about my busi ness and actually reached home before it occurred to me that I had not ;een the end of the play.

Governor Jennings of Indiana used to tell a story of his early electioneer Ing days in which be said that a panther may be a good temperance le- - r. Colonel W. .\. Cockrum re pe. ne story in his -Iioneer History of Indiana." The incident happened when Governor Jennings was traveling over the thinly settled hills of Dear born county. electioneering for con gress. He met a man with bom be wvas well acquainted, by name Totn Ogles by. who was just getting over a pro tracted debauch. Jennings began ask ing Tom about his political views. The half sober fellow looked at him and said: "Jen. don't you think a tuan just out of a panther fight ought to be elec tioneered in a different wnanner from this? I am just from the grave. I was awakened a little while ago by a panther putting leaves and grass over me. It kept this up until I was entire ly covered. I Jay still for awhile and then raised up and found the panther gone. I knew I was in danger, so 1 took my gun and climbed into a tree to see what the panther intended to do. "In a short time I heard her coming. and she bad her kittens with her. Ev ery few steps she would jump as if catching something. and the little ones would go through the same tnanen vers. She kept this up until she got near to the bed of leaves she had cov ered over me and then made a spring on the pile. She looked just as I felt when I found that I was covered up for dead. She then started i to In vestigate the cause of my disappear ance, and before she located mue I shot her." Jennings, after bearing this, said: "Well. Tom. I believe i should treat you as one from the dead anid t hat you should begin your life from this point. We were schoolboys together. I know you are a capable civi! engineer and well educated. and if you cease drink ing I will see that you have a goed lx> sition on the surveying cor-ps." Tom Oglesby did quit drinking.

The banker tried to collect his note, but it was outlawed by a lapse of thirteen years. One day the banker stopped at the mans farmi and admired his fine pump-I klns. The farmer made him a pres ent of two large ones. 'i just credit these pumpkins on your old note," the banker said. "All right." the farmer said.I That revIved the obligation.

Soan, sosftn, Mm., U.S.A. ~ PASSENGER ELEVATORS. Their Invention Made the Modern Skyscraper Possible. It s certain that the earliest and the most indispensable of the factors which have enabled the construction of the mighty skyscrapers of today was the passenger elevator and that this was brought Into use during the sixties of the last :entury, its first appearance in New York being in the Fifth Ave nue hotel. It was at about the same time introduced into the Astor House. then already a generation old. So ob ious was the utility of this device that the wonder again is that it had not been brought into practice long be fore. Hoists are, of course. as old as the Dutch warehouses, of' which the icturesqueness is enhanced by the rojecting cranes that worked the oists, doubtless as old ats Archimeses. But hotels, even when the Fifth Ave ue was built, were conditioned in al ttute, as were all other buildings no? clsively monumental, by the pow rs of' ascension of the unassisted hut an leg. Five stories was the unaz lnum for commercial buildingS. except tat an attical sixth might be added r the discommodation of the janitor'. whose name was Hobson aind who had ogo where he was sent. which. nat raily. was where no -payling guest" could be induced to go. He and his any have taken their outlook on life rom slits or bullseyes just under the roof. In the cases of hoteis the sixth sory was assigned to servants and torerooms. Tenants or Inmnates could ot be Induced to climb more than or flights of stairs and grumbled grievously in the case of inmates of hotels and secused the hotel clerk of peridy when they had to climb so nny.

Dog Driving Over the iee and Snow of t..brador. Winter driving with a team of a dozen dogs Is declared by Dr. Grenfell f Labrador to be the most fascinatIng sport ever enjoyed by man. Hisa de scription of it as quoted by James Tonstone in his book. "Grenfeil of Labrador." Is as follows: Although there is no harder work when driving over a roug. country. yet the bracing cold, the exhilarating brightness of the reflected light from the snow, the difficulty of getting bad lyhurt, however sharply one shootr r:. mountain side or even tumbles over a cfr. the absence of damp or moisture. e fct that one can travel anywbere Insoft, light moccasins and in such othing as is most conducive to agil iy, without any reference to conven tonality. nil help to vanquish any re alization ofdjabor on a long trip. There is infinite scope for skill In hoosing, tending and1 training your dogs also for both pluck and physical stength In driving, and all the craft of the woodsman is called for in crossing miles of virgin country. where at any tme any wrong turn will surely mean anight in the open and perhaps a eperature of 401 degrees of frost. Dog driving also teaches one what boxing is said to teach. self control, for of all the trials of temper one can be called on to endure the worst is, given a glorious day for traveling and when one is in a hurry, to have one's dogs run wild listening to nothing. ot watching anything, but tangling with every stump and tree and biting at everything tnat comhes i-n the way.
