WHAT HE REALLY WANTED
I "0 ? .
Deep, Dark D*tign That Wat Behind
Man's Encouragement of Hi*
Companion'* Singing.
Two nu n u ?mv IMtM) Ht h table la
a saloon, one of them annoying thai
other customers by bin maudlin at*
tempts to sing something tbut bad a \
strong German air, although tilt words <
w? ro apparently Kngiish. Tha pro- ;
prittor approached.
"( ui out tbat Kinging IQ here," ba >
remonstrated. "This ain't no ama
teur night for cabarets."
The singer subsided and took an
other drink, but his companion urged
hint to continue, expressing great ad
miration for the air. * :
"What do you mind the liken of
him fort" he asked. "Sure, It's a Hue
song. Oo ahead with it."
The resumption of the disjointed
uotes brought the proprietor to the
table agalu.
? "See here, you," he hegau. with u
rap of his knuckled on the table, "cut
that singing right now, or I'll have you
j thrown dftt,"
' Standing not far off to be sure that
the selection waa not continued the
proprietor overheard the second tnan
urging the singer to go a head and after
another , drink the aong was resumed.
Stepplug up to the tablo with Are in
his eye the boas addreased himself to
the second man.
"Why do you keep Asking hliu to
sing?" Jte demanded. "If you are
ho stuck on his singing take him some
where else and listen to it all you
like,"
"Singing 1" retorted the other. "1
don't care about his singing. I want
to Bee him thrown out." ,
Ready to Matt "the" Girl.
Here's a young man who believes in
the efficiency of preparedness.
v With his young wife he appeared re
cently before Frank M. kenney, <hlef
clerk to Local Board No. 7 at Cen
tral armory, Cleveland, O:
"When did you buy the ring?" Mr.
Kenney asked.
There was some discrepancy he-? 1
tween the answers of the bride and,
the bridegroom end the clerk pressed
for an explanation.
"Well, 1*11 tell you the truth," the
man replied. "Some ^ears ago 1 1
fought a watch on the Installment
plan and when it was paid for t
thought the Idea was a pretty good
one. I figured to myself that some
day I mlpht want to get marrjled, and
thought it wouldn't be "a ~T)auT TiTPflrto
get the ring on the same plan."
"You mean you got the ring and
kept it in your pocket until the right
girl happened along?" Mr, Kenney In
quired.
"That's Just It, mister," the youth
replied, unabashed. "This Is the right
girl., and we've Just got married,**
A Prodigy.
.A new prodigy has appeared In
Paris. He is proclaimed as a man, or
rather a boy of genius and his name
is Salvator SchlfT. He is designated
in a Parisian Journal as "a writer who
is not a writer and yet It appears
Writes better than all the writers." He
Is a boy in the house of a picture
dealer. He has been discovered tak
ing the pen from the desk of his em
ployer and letting It run agreeably to
his fancy. One of his masterpieces
of an Idle moment came by chance un
der the eyes of his employer.
/ "Did you do that?" asked the em
ployer.
--??-?Yes, inonsleur," responded t he boy,
much disturbed, fearing that he might
be discharged for neglecting his du
ties for frivolous amusements.
"It Is admirable !" declared the em
ployer, who without delay sent th^
manuscript to a noted literary man
and now the Mercure de France Is go
ing to publish the first work of Salva
tor Schiff with others probably to fol
low.
ijyttle Baby Phenomenon.
A two-year-old baby girl holds the
world's record in mental development.
The Infant prodigy Is Martha
Springer, twenty-six months old,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John EL
Springer of Mountain View. Cal.
. ' The chljd can read like- an eight
| year-old. The father says the child
' has a normal mind which simply has
been developed by persistent training.
I At a recent meeting,. of college pro
fessors and experts in pedagogy and
psychology the child for forty minutes
read, counted and told the time by
the clock and talked with the men who
were observing her. Her baby brain
did not sag and she appeared to enjoy
the long Interview.
The child reads and speaks with a
vocabulary of &)>out two thousand
words. She is lafge for her age and
eats and sleeps well.

Middle-Aged Man Would Slow Up
Wheels of Time,
l? Living In Hop* That 8om? Man i
Will pevlae a Workable Schema
for Renewing One'e Lease of i&
Life, and Do It Qutekly.
"What we really need," said tha
middle-aged man, "Is some way of
Blowing up the wheels Of time.
"As every nnm who has , begun to
got on lu life Knows, the older wo
grow the funtur time seems to fly. In
our youth even single day* seem to
be endless; but wheu we get to be
about so old the years go' mo fuHt that
they aeeiu to spin around like pin*
wheels.
"There wa? Ofted an advertlaer with
a patent medicine to sell who started
off hie advertisement by describing
himself aa a retired < physician whose
sands of life hud nearly run out, A J
well-meaning friend In the far West
wrote to him saying that If he would
mix a little molasses with the sands
they wouldn't run out so fast.
"Of . course there was an idea In
that ; but the minute you come to think
It over seriously you see that there Is
really nothing to It. To make the
wheels of time turn slower yqu'd have
to have, something more than molasses.
I have thought that perhaps we might
Invent some sort of brake, a very pow
erful brake, for this purpose, but I
guess there's really nothing In this
Idea, either.
"Lacking the means of making the
wheels of ? tlme turn slower, so that
?we would seem to have more time, I
haVf thOUjffM Ul tit perhaps sorhebody
may yet devise a way of renewing our
lease of life. If we could get an In
definite renewal of our llfo lease we
wouldn't care how fast the wheels
turned, because we'd have endless
years for them to turn In.
"The man who could devise a work
able plan of this sort would get rich
beyond any sort. pt dreams whatever;
that is, If he could prolong his own
life as well as sell life-renewal leases
to others; for I fancy that* hard as
this world may be;ln some respects,
the great majority of us would llko to
continue living in It a long, long time,
and would give all we had for that
privilege.

to stay on it ,intermlnably.f> If there
Is anybody no&' working on this llfe
lease-renewnl device I hope he will get
It running before the sands of my old
fashioned life shall have run out com
pletely ;, and if when he opens up for
business he will let* me know where
-to find him I shall go to him; and, If
I have the price, take out as a first

Dealing With the Occult.
An astonishing number of books on
occult subjects are being published in
these days, especially on lln?s relating
to the future life, the theme taking
on a new Interest because of the war
and Its losses. One writer, Prof. W. J.
Crawford of Belfast, Is dealing with
stalled spirit manifestations In a
new way. For one thing, he has tried
seating the medium on a weighing ma-,
chine while the manifestations are
going oh and watching the varying
record of her weight. He has found
that where a chair or table was levl
.'tated an increase In her weight almost
corresponding to the weight of the
piece, of furniture was noted. When
there were rapplngs her weight les
sened, the amount lost varying with
the Intensity of the sounds. What
these phenomena Indicate to his mind
or what he expects to prove by them
does not appear.

Balzao Would Have Starved.
Home of the geniuses of earlier gen
erations would have a hard time of It
with civilian rations In Europe. Many
of them are still remembered for their
appetites. Thackeray and <- Dickens
were both masterful at the table. Bal
zac was equal to making a dinner of
eight dozen oysters, twelve cutlets, a
duck, a pair of partridges, and all
the customary "trimmings." Herbert
Spencer once went upon a vegetable
diet, and declared that after he return
ed to meat he had to rewrite every
thing he did In the interval to get vfrlV
Ity Into It. ;
Regardless x>f the effect on genius,
rationing Is spreading. Even walk
ing sticks have come under govern
mental control In England, and pre
sumably a prospective purchaser will
soon have to present a license to carry
such an ornament. ? Nation's Business.
Big Tuna Cannery. #
naif a million dollfFrs Is to be ex
pended In the construction of a large
tuna cannery on the Island ? of Man!,
in the Hawaiian group, states The
Canner. ? The wnters around the Is
lands swarm with fish of every de
scription, among which the tuna Is
predominant and attains an enormous
size. The operation of this plant will
be a valuable addition to the food sup
ply of the United States and may lead
to the establishment of an Important
fishing industry In the Island territory.
