HOW THE POLKA ORIGINATED
Bohemian Servant Danced About the
Kitchen to Lighten Her Work,
and Composer Noticed.
The origin #f tho polka haw Just
been dlsoovered. H is said 011 good
authority that the dance originated in
one of the little villages of Bohemia,
where a aervant, thing of her work in
the kitchen, thought to make It lighter
by dancing around the kitchen and
singing at the samo time. The mis
tress of the house overheard her and
called hor into the parlor, where aha
was asked to dunce tho peculiar atep
over again. A musician by the name
of Neruda was present and he some
time later wrote music for tho step.
The name polka comes from the Czech
language, meaning half step.
In 1839 the polka was Introduced
Into Vienna and It made a great suc
cess. The writers of the popular mu
sic of the day adapted It Immediately
to their work. Tho polka was danced
on the stage In Paris fpr the fy*pt time
at the Odeon In 1840, and from the
stage It passed to the drawing room.
Don't You Remember?
The love of reminiscence Is d$oj>
rooted In us. We do not need to have
length of years in order to possess it.
All we need to have Is a consciousness
of the past as past. Some years ago
a little friend of mine, then four years
old, attained a iiew phrase, "Don't you
remember?" I say "attained," because
It was evident that she hud not $>nly
enlarged, her Held of expression by a
new woril, but that' she had enlarged
her field of experience by a new sensa
tion? the sensation of reminiscence.
.For tlte phrase,*"Don't you remem
ber?" always ushered in a story out
of her small past, some event of the
preceding winter or summer, some
glimpse of history In which she had
been actor witness. It was always' ut
tered with 'shining eyes and a flush of
delight, which deepened if I was able
to catch her reminiscence and recog
nize and enjoy it with her. Yet the
things remembered were veVy simple
? a drlvet a walk, a kitten, & child wa
tering his garden or falllhg down. The
pleasure came, clearly, not from the
original quality of the experience, but
was tasting the pure pleasuro of remi
niscence. Watching her, I foil to won
dering what was the precious quality
of this pleasure whose flavor she was
beginning to taste. ? Atlantic Monthly
Change in the Ppstman.
This small boy, three and one-halt
years old, was accustomed to meet
the postman and get the letters foi
the family. He and the postman we're
friends and the postman always had a
smile and pleasant word for him.
But one morning when the post
man came around he Neither smiled
at the boy nor said' a word to him;
he Just handed the letters over the
gate to him and passed bh, which was
a great surprise to the boy; The fact
was that this, was another postman,
taking that morning- the. place of the
regular man on this route, but the
small boy wasn't qtUte old enough tc
realize it. This new postman wore
the same nnifonp. carried the same
bag, was just like the other man in
every way, except as to his face. But
certainly that was different, as the
smaTTboy could see/ and so when he
carried in the letters this morning he
announced to the family;
"Our postman has got aneW head.'

NOT MUCH HEAL PIFFERENCE
? ' I ' j" **' ^ *
Mr. Tohe Snagg Discourses Pleasant*
ly on Subject of City and Village
Society Qosslp.
"I fall to observe any groat differ
ence," remarked Mr. Tobo Snagg, "be
tween the 'Gossip of Society' notes In '
the city papers and the 'Purely Percon
al' Items In the Goshkononk Gazette.
Of course, them rich people have long
er names and travel farther than us
humble Coshkononglans, but, after ill* ;
when I read that Mr. and Mrs. Theo
bald PoHtlethwalt Golden-Gawbs and
their Son, T. Llvermore Golden-Gawbs,
have returned from motoring on the
continent, while their daughter, L,orda
Watt Golden-Gawbs, will remain in
Italy, sketching the old masters, I can't
see that Intrinsically It differs much
frpm the simple statements In the
Gazette that Miss Gladys Frump Sun
dayed at Whlllervllle with Apra Hen
flon and Ralph SUcer, our popular bar
ber, Mondayed In Ilunkayunk, and Dab
Socker Tuesdayed In Turgldtown at
the home of his widowed sister whose
husband suicided two months ago after
arsonlng tho lumber yard./ All the
parties concerned probably did all
the gadding they could afford, and in
any case not a soul In the llvln' world
beyond the persons mentioned was in
tho slightest degree interested in tho
recital."
Searching for HJdden Will.
The romantic story of a hidden will
is arousing keen Interest in tho neigh

shire, England. SArch for the mis
sing document is being made by a
woman from Gunnersbury, London.
She bellfeveB that- if she succeeds In
her quest, she will bccome entitled to '
a valuable estate. The search was '
prompted originally by statements
fnade by a medium at a spiritualistic
seance. The wHl is supposed to be
concealed in a wall sunk In a shed
which has been bricked up for many
years. It formed a cellar to an old
house. The London searcher's ances
tor, John Bradley, who married his
housekeeper, was known to possess
great wealth. No will could be found
after hifl.death.? .. \
Hopeless Predicament.
Mrs. Pethlck Lawrence, the English
suffragist, said at a farewell dinner In
New York last month:
"The antis who protest against the
vote on the score Of woman's weak
ness have beon thrown into a terrible
predicament by Professor Dantan's
positive proof that, girl babies ate
stronger than boy bableB.
"Their predicament Is hopeless, tt
is embarrassing as the predicament
of a l&dy who, about to be fitted for a |
pair of ? new boots In a boot shop,,
flushed, bit her lip, and said to her
self: 1

on? There's a hole in my stocking,

Frenchman's 8ong Collection.
No French president oan during his
tenure of office escape being "blague"
?ragged, we might translate It ? some
times rather ferociously. Of this rag
ging M. Fallleres has certainly had his
full share. It appears that he takes
it all In the best spirit. He has even
collected all the songs that have been
written about him, and In the evening
after dinner he sometimes asks one of
his intimate frlencfe to sing selections
from the fat volume they mako. He Is
said to derive a good deal of, quiet
amusement from a study of the faces
of his ordefly officers when the song
Is more than usually personal and out- ,
spoken. ;?!
