So to the soda counter they went and partook of a decoction of ice cream, put meats and fruit. “What shall we do now?” said Mrs. Rangle, “There are no shows open so early in the day,” said Mre, Jarr; “let us go into the stores and look around to ‘kill time.” Mra.

Her Company Manners NCE upon a time there was 4 Joung woman. This young woman had several sisters and brothers, Now, in every family, as a gen eral thing where there are several children, there is one whose temper ie easily stirred, This girl, Marie, was the one, Therewasa Sweet side to the nature of Marie, however, which had never been brought out because e' erybody always tried to, avoid arous- ing her temper, and she was cuddled imto the belief that she had a right to it, Now, this sweet side of Marie, how- ever, showed itself when there was company, especially people she liked, She was just as gracious and nice as she could be, and they always went away with the reflection of what a! sweet, lovely creature she was. As the years went by and there seemed to be no effort to curb it, Marie's temper with her family grew and grew so that everything that happened outside the home to ruffle her spirits she brought into the tam- ily and took it out on her sisters and brothers. Now, it came to pass that Marie had many suitors, because she was a very attractive young person, full of life and companionable when she choso to ‘be, But none of thede suitors seemed to be THE one. And as they naturally came her way, she was very independent with them and dismissed them when she grew tired of them. Along came a man from the West. He was big and free and fine and honest, He had a sunny, nappy na- ture, abhérred quarrels, was very successful and altogether what is termed “a good catch.” As bas already been stated, she had euch a nice way with her peo- ple were drawn toward her, espe-' cially when she set vut to be at- tractive. The sweet side asserted itself in this young man's direction so that all could plainly see which way the wind was blowing. It was the same old story. He became interested in her because he had never met euch @ sunny soul as she presented to him. There began courtship, All her friends decided that at last Marie had met her match. All went merry'as @ bell and Marie dally expected the big moment in every girl's life of “Will you?” But “there's many a slip” twixt the court- ship and altar. One evening the Westerner heard Marie berating her younger sister, calling her names and using language that he never dreamed could fall from her lips. He could not believe his ears. He Was soon ushered into her presence. He never saw @ more joyous smile and more loving greeting than she extended to him. He watched and waited and talked with the other children about Marie. He soon found that she had anything but a nice disposition for her fam ly. ‘The orisis came after a little while, when she came to believe that he was truly hers, Onee, unexpectedly, she turned on him as she did on her little sister in a tirade of abuse, And when he remonstrated, she said: “Aren't we going to be one? Can't we say what we want to each other?” To which he answered something like this: “No, we are not one and never will be. I have watched and waited in the hope that I could find some excuse for you, but to no purpose. I bave overheard you several times in the abuse of your family, Now, as soon as I get to be your family it will be the same thing, You will go on the theory that it is not only your privi- lege but your right, “I will be the so called ‘henpecked husband’ and you will save your sweet smiles for the outsiders, not for me. “Where I come from everything is open and above board, While we make allowances for a little temper now and then, there are no dual per- sonalities, Our real friends are tried and true and always the same. We can bank on them. At least I would want my wife to be my best friend and show her best side to me as well as to others.” He found his best friend in another .girl, and Marie became the only old maid in the family. She knew sbe had missed her big chance and no other came her way, She learned this ANNES THAT ARE BROUGHT OUT ONLY FOR COMPANY NEVER FOOL ALL or euspicious, & very delightful and momentous THE TIME, By Albert Payson Terhune Coprright, 1919, by ‘The Press Publishing Company (The New York Mvening. World). No. 71—CHARLES DARWIN, Who Made Good by Revolutionizing Science. b E was Charles Robert Darwin, son of a rich doctor, Incidentally his parents admitted that he was the fool of the family. © «+ Darwin had certain theorles which the world at large’de- clared not only idiotic but blasphemous, He hammered away at the’ perfecting of those theories until, after almost a whole lifetime of setbacks and abuse, he made good. He made good by revolu~ tionizing the science of the ages. His father wanted Darwin to be a doctor, The young fellow studied medicine and: made fair progress at it. But he threw over the study be- fore his dourse had ended. He explained that he could not bear to spend his future among people who were suffering. His nerves would not af Go 0a & the strain. Pi So he got a job as & botanist om a scientific expedition that was going to the South Seas. This gave him his start. On his return to England by © wrote a series of treatises on the information he had acquired om his journey. He could have made a livelihood and a name for himself along this line. But his researches had opened up to him a new and startling set of ideas; and he threw over a promising career to devote all his spare time to the developing of these ideas. ) For the next twenty years he¢ tolled unceasingly along this chosen line of his Im face of universal opposition and ridicule. Here is the trend of work he had selected: a As far back as 1801 Lamarck brought out © wnnnncocccmroncnn vook in which—crudely and more or less incon- clusively—he explained bis belief that “animals and humans of modern times do not resemble their earliest ancestors, bat have evolved, through varying causes, into higher and nobler types.” ‘This, in brief, is the much discussed “Theory of Evolution.” Most peo~ ple think Darwin invented it. He did not. Lamarck set forth the theory, in @ halting fashion, nearly ten years before Darwin was born. But Darwin laid hold of Lamarck’s incomplete idea and worked it out conclusively, im- proving on it and building it up and changing it until he had made it his own. ' For twenty years or so he continued his researches, surmounting every obstacle, sometimes taking many months to clear up 4 single knotty point, taking no forward step until all preceding steps were too firm to be shaken. It was a tremendous labor, and it wag carried on in the face of » whirlwind of discouragement. But Darwin never wayered. He was making good—aend he had the genius to know it and the iron perseverance to stick to his seif- appointed labor. At last he published the book “Origin of Species,” which contained the fruits of his long years’ researches and experiments. By way of reward nearly every scientist on earth denounced him as a orank or a faker. He wee assailed (9 Breqs and s Denounced as a pulpit, Undeterred by this avalanche/of censure, j Faker. Darwin went ahead, amplifying his ideas and pub: lishing more books to prove them. He refused to argue. He refused to defend himself. He felt that his books were ‘his best defense and argument. Saya Bolton, one of hi biographers: ; “Not since Galileo © * © has a man been so censured and perse.~ cuted for his opinions as was Darwin. He was attacked from every quarter. But Darwin had/the calm courage to keep on; and, in time, the trend of public and scientific opinion began to shift. One by one the foremost think« ers of the age came around to his ideas. They did more, They proclaimed that Charles Darwin had revoluw tiomized science. They hailed him as one of the geniuses of all tinw, Reaction set in. The world delighted to honor and réverence the maa it had been deriding. fi Darwin had made good, and he was great enough to value public clamation as lightly as he had valued contempt. TheGay Life of aCommuter By Rube Towner Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World), The Great Conflagration Ends an Old Rivalry T THE last fire tournament in the Paradise section the Wide Ayakes were first and the Alerts of Horse's Neck second, and as a result a bitter rivalry sprang Up between the best two fire companies of hand-drawn apparatus that ever averted a great conflagration. For a time there was coolness be- tween the two neighboring villages and it seemed at one time as if the matter would have to be referred to the Peace Conference for settlement. But all the diplomacy in the world was not represented at the Paris Con- ference, and what might have proved @ pussling case for the “Big Five” waa settled by the Big One of Horse's Neck, Thomas Brackett. Doe told all about it the other morn- ing coming in on the 7.56. It all happened this way. For many years the Wide Awakes at Paradise had sounded the fire alarm by ringing a big bell in the belfry of the fire building, but old Bill Skindem took the view that @ fire bell was obsolete and put over a resolution to buy an up-to- date siren (pronounced si-reen in Par- adise). No sooner had the si-reen been in- stalled than a conflagration broke out. It started in Jake Hick’s Hay and Feed Store, also Lime, Plaster, Ce- ment and Building Materials, taking an unfair advantage of the Wide Awakes by starting after midnight, when every place frequented by its leading members was closed. A be- lated chauffeur, whe had driyen Doc and Newcomer to the corner nearest their homes, saw the blaze and ran to the Wide Awake fire house to ring the bell, only to run up against a new- fangied affair for starting the siren. He told the night operator at the railroad station and asked what was to be done, The night operator only knew of one thing to be done in any emergency and that was to tell Long Island City, The Long Island City man, not knowing what property of the company might be endangered, called the Chief of the Horse's Neck Fire Department. The Chief an- swered the phonejin his pajamas and a bad humor. “Paradise is burning down and needs help!” declared the Long Island City maa, “The report is that unless the wind changes the whole village will be destroyed.” “Are you familiar with Article X. o¢ the Constitution and By-Laws of the Alerts?” asked the H. N, Chiat “We can only go to the assistance small and weak neighbors on an of, ficial request; are you ra official?” The Long Island City an was not going to take any chances. “Sure; I'm Assistant Chief of the Wide Awakes.” 3 “All right,” said the Horse's Neck Chief. “We'l go and take the new’ auto apparatus; but meet me after the fire; I've got a matter I want to settle with you.” Boon thereafter the Alerts began to roll, and in record time arrived at ‘the scene of the conflagration to find that they were the only company on the ground, Jake Hick’s Hay and ~ Feed Store, Lime, Plaster, Cement and Building Materials was a mass of ruins, but Paradise was safe—the wind had changed. Just then the Wide Awakes’ “si-reen” began to blow and in tho course of time the Champion Hook and Ladder Company of that section was on the scene, After an exchange of language de~ tween the two chiefs, which cannot de repeated here because it was cén— sored in Doc's report, the Horse's Neck Chief demanded that the Wide Awakes pay for gasoline used by the auto apparatus he had brought with him, This matter widened the breach be~ tween the two villages, @ld Bilt Skindem offered to bring. about .# compromise for 5 per cent, Brackets explained his method of carrying mo« tions at his own meetings and the President of the Wide Awakes fol- lowed his instructions to the letter, At the next meeting of the Wide Awakes the President in the chair said: “The question, is now on the, mor tlon of Mr, Newcomer (Newcomer was at that moment in a corner ot the room excitedly talking to Little Arthur), seconded by Mr, Mawrug: Pleasantiaan (Mowruss was jus¥ going out the door after having op~ posed any settlement), that the bill for gasoline presented by the Alerta be paid; if there is no objection, and I hear none, it will be so ordered; it is #0 ordered,” “Mr, Chairman!” claimed the “Grouch,” excitedly ex. “Well, what is it?” “I desire to make an objection-* “Too late; you should have spoxen at the time.
