'' una surprised ninny i lent recommondntions of President Roosevelt in Ins message to congress of April 27 hnvo not been moro freely commented on in business circles. Hero nro lnrgo issues tbo amendment or modificntion of tho Shcrmnn nnti-tni3t lnw nnd tho framing and passngo i fH5K$K$HM3H$($4K of A FEDERAL CORPORATION LAW which go to tho very heart of tho complicated corporation question ns it exists nt presont. Yot in tho burly burly of tho end (if the session of congress theso great issues, so admirably presented by the president, nro failing to attract tho proper attention. Nothing has been moro effectively proved than that the Sherman act in its present shape is IMPOSSIBLE OF APPLICATION TO OUR LARGE INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS WITHOUT PRODUCING BUSINESS CHAOS, yet tho president's persistent efforts to bring about a modificntion and put tho nation's laws and tho laws of commerce on an equal footing have not borno their proper fruit. But even of moro importance, becauso it is iir tho lino of con structive legislation, is the president's recommendation about THE NECESSITY OF ENACTING A FEDERAL CORPORATION lnw. This, to my mind, is OF THE HIGHEST INTEREST TO ALL CORPORATIONS doing nn interstnto business, nnd how few do notl A law under which all such corporations might obtain n national charter and which would provide for n rcgulnr nnd sufficing publicity, an nccountnbility, in fnct, to -the public and tho government for its cnpitnlizntion, its rnmificntions nnd its mnchinery" for control, would bo welcome indeed. A LAW WHICH WOULD AT ONCE IN ITS OPERATION CERTIFY TO THE HONEST CONDUCT OF A CORPORATION JUST A3 NOR MALLY A NATIONAL BANK 18 CERTIFIED TO BY IXS EXISTENCE UNDER THE NATIONAL BANKING LAW WOULD BE OF INESTIMA BLE VALUE TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS AS WELL A8 TO THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. IT WOULD LIFT A GREAT BURDEN OFF THE CORPORATIONS AND WOULD LIFT A LIKE BURDEN OFF THE PEOPLE. How Religious People May Uplift the Theater. By the Rev. J. L. VAUGHN. Prieit and Playwright. CHE tbenter is now held under suspicion by mnny English spenking people. This is becauso thoy judge tho Btago by tho evil influences which surround it. But lot mo tell you f - it is wrong to judge any institution in thnt mnnnor. If wd were to judgo every institution by tho ovil men and women who go -into or out of it none would fnro so Tho theater is tho playground of tho American people and ITS GREATEST EDUCATIONAL FACTOR.

How vnin it is to teach moralitv on 0110 dnv of tho week nnd lenvo tho amusement of tho people to tho powers of hell on tho other six ! THE THEATER IS WHAT IT IS NOW BECAUSE THE MAN AGERS WHO FEEL THE PULSE OF THE PEOPLE THROUGH THE BOX OFFICE BELIEVE THEY ARE GIVING WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT. BUT IF THE PEOPLE WHO NOW CONDEMN THE THEATER WOULD GO TO IT AND DEMAND THE BEST THEY WOULD GET IT. Actors do not want to put on sensual plays and melodrama and cheap musical fnrces. But thoy got no encouragement to put on moral plays. I blame tho clergy for much of this. They imngino they should not go to tho theaters. They should sit in tho first row. They should be where their parishioners nro. If tho theater is not fit for me to nttend, my boys nnd girls should not be there. Tho shep herd should bo with his flock. Thoro is no doubt in my mind thnt NO PUBLIC INSTITUTION NEEDS RELIGIOUS INFLU ENCE SO MUCH AS DOES THE THEATER. If tho religious people would go to tbo thenters nnd demand good plays instead of sneaking in behind tho pillnrs to look at trash, tho managers would soon chango their bills. Then tho theater would be come n POWER FOR GOOD INSTEAD OF FOR EVIL. Women In Business A Menace to Marriage. Dy Dr. OTTO GUiiTTNER of Cincinnati.

President Lincoln's Jokes, especially when perpetrated In connection with grnve matters, usually had a purpose In them. After Loo hml taken Hnr pcrs Ferry tho president, realizing how grent a calamity !t was to tho north ern arms, determined It possible to fix the responsibility for tho loss of the Important position. Ilnlleck was summoned, but did not know where tho blamo lay. "Very well," said Lincoln, "I'll ask General Schenck." Tho latter could throw no light upon tho question, further than to say that he was not to blame. Mil roy was tho next to bo called to tho presence of the commnndcr In chief and to enter n plea of "not guilty." Hooker was next given 11 hearing, nnd "Fighting Joe" made a very emphatic disclaimer of nil responsibility. Then the president assembled tho four generals in his room nnd said to them: "Gentlemen. Ilnrpers Ferry was surrendered and nouo of you, it seems, Is responsible. I nm very anxious to discover tho mnn who Is." After strid ing across the room several times tho president suddenly threw up his bow ed head nnd exclaimed: "I hnvo ltt I know who Is responsible!" "Who, Mr. President; who Is It?" asked tho distinguished quartet as they looked anxious, If not troubled. "Gentlemen," said the president, with a meaning twinkle In his eye, "General Leo Is tho man." There wns n lack of mirth In tho laugh created, and the four generals took their departure with a determina tion that they would not ngaln bo placed under suspicion. SLEEP MYSTERIES. Tasks Often Performed While Worker Slumbers. A psychologist was discussing tho tho miracles of sleep. "One can become so accustomed," ho said, "to a monotonous task that ono can fall asleep nnd still keep on work ing. Thus In India thcro nro punk coolies, men who turn a fan all night long In the hot weather while their English masters rest, nnd it Is not un common for a punka cooly to acquire tho knack of sleeping nt his task. On and on he sleeps through tho hot, per fumed hours of tho Indian night, but his hand mechanically and steadily turns tho punka pulley. "Men havo composed great literary works In their sleep. Coleridge's 'Ku bla Khan' Is the most famous oxamplo of this; but, then, Colcrldgo was a morphlnomanlac, and his sleep was scarcely natural. But R. L. Stevenson, Corelll nnd Longfellow have also dono good work while sleeping. "Divers sometimes fall asleep deep down in the sea, but somo unknown part of their brain keeps watch, and at the proper moment, though nsjoop, they give tho order to bo hauled up. This is a good deal llko tho miracle that hnppens to all of us tho tnlraclo whereby if we tell ourselves on retir ing that wo must wako nt 7 wo In variably do wako at that hour how or why It is impossible to say. Somo part of us watches, works, keeps awake all night, so that nt 7 it may call us." Now Orleans Times-Democrat Penny For a Priceless Book. A worklngmnn ouco purchased for n penny nn aged looking volume benring ilnto of lruo. Tho mnn tried to read It, but threw up tho nttempt apparent- ly In disgust, sgust, nnd tho volume was rele- gated to tho cupboard. A friend of his linntmiicwl tn goa tho linnlr nnil tnnl?

It was, in fact tho first book printed by Gutenberg nnd was therefore almost priceless. London Tit-Bits. i u jr w.jr ..,; uaHMW w- - - j Improved on Solomon. In a certain Sunday school n little girl told the story of Solomon and the disputing mothers in this wise: "Solo mon was a very wise man. Ono day two women went to him, quarreling about a baby. Ono woman said, 'This is my child, nnd the other woman said, 'No, 'taln't; It's mine But Solo mon spoko up nnd said: 'No, no, la dles; don't quarrel. Give me my sword, and I'll make twins of him, so you can both havo one.' " At a Disadvantage. Bacon Would you call him n good talker? Egbert No, I would not. "How many times have you heard him talk?"

Itldgo of her tawny back brush, cd up In rngo. tall n-Bwltch, steel Bin ows rigid beneath soft skin, sho glared at her four cubs in tho cago comer. A fluffy ball of spotted fur sprawled on unsteady legs across toward her. Out shot a mighty foro paw; tho baby Was hurled suddenly back among his cowering brothers and sisters. "Nasty temper," I remarked to the keeper. "Has she beeti long llko that?" "Started this forenoon." He shook bla head In anxiety. "1 don't like It. I'll have to sopnrato them, I fear." Tho unnatural mother commcuccd pacing her prlsou, Bparrlng viciously at her offspring In passing. Three huddled together In n pitiful heap, but one stood up and defied her. A Jungle terror In miniature, his tiny rago was magnificent Tensely alert beforo his trembling mntes, ho shifted warily tc meet each blow, dodging, spitting, striking out an awkward paw nt the great thrusts. "They don't turn on their cubs often Only know It onco before. You notice, mcln herr, her claws are not out when sho strikes. That may come; then we will lose some promising babies here." Tho young Germnu keeper wns great ly distressed. I returned In tho morn ing to bee how tho affair had progress ed. Entering the Frankfurt Thlergar ten, I found tho lion house. My friend stood In tho empty corridor looking into the cngo. Sleek forms shifted restlessly on every side; n pale light camo from above; tho plnco was close with n heavy odor. Ho greeted mo mournfully. "The little beggar wns too spirited. Sho got him last night Just n second in her Jaws, and tho taxidermist won't attempt to stuff tho skin." Tho re maining cubs peered wonderlugly nt us from nn adjolulug cago; tho mur deress paced In Blence, but her eyes were nllvo with n straugo fascinating light Tho tragedy had stirred the rows of imprisoned beasts.

Moore" Island, the Happleit nnd Fair est Spot on Earth. Hugo Parton, writing in tho Outing Magazine, says that tho happiest and most beautiful spot on earth today is tbo island of Moorea, ono of tho Society Islands. In tho south seas. As a con trast to strenuous American methods this description sounds alluring: "Whenover you aro thirsty a word will send a lltho brown body scram bling up n tall palm tree trunk., nnd in two minutes n green cocoanut is ready for you to quaff tho nectar of tho Poly nesian gods. It is worth tho trip down hero to cat tho native 'vlttals. for you got nt every meal things you never tasted before, and each seeuiH better than Its predecessor; to seo your din ner of fresh water shrimps, sharks' llns nnd ronsted sea urchlus.

Indeed, ho is anywhere equaled. They are n large race, both men nnd women being noticeably taller nnd more fully de veloped than Anglo-Saxous. I doubt If any Society Islander ever went through n whole day in his llfo without having a wreath of flowers on his head or a blossom behind his ear. The love of flowers is innate with man. woman nnd child. They can't pass through u patch of woods without emerging with a gar land. Every gay mood calls for flow era on their hats. In their hair, behind their ears, nnd their life is an almost unbroken sequence of gay moods. Scarcely n uative on tho Islnnd of Moorea can speak a sentence of Eng lish, but every one you meet greets you with a courteous smile and the wel coming word 'In-ora-na' (Yornnnj." The Attraction of Chess Problems. Tho mere player who has never ex perienced tho rangnetlc attraction of problems cannot fully realize the feel ing of joy nnd satisfaction from solv ing somo innsterplece, the work of a famous composer. Thero can bo no doubt that Bohiug problems, especially from diagrams, Is nn lutellectunl nmusement nnd that the study of prob lems tends to accuracy of analysis, quickens tho perception nnd strength ens tho chess fncultles generally nnd may occasionally Impart somo of those sparkling Ideas which aro bo sadly needed in ordinary play.
