SYNDICATING KINDLINESS.
Congress hna declined to Incorpo
rate tho hundrcJ million dollar Rocke
feller philanthropic trust, nnd porhnpi
It Is Just as well; not so much because
the trust might In tho dim future
somehow menace tho liberties of the
peoplo, as becnuso tho refusal Is In
directly a blow at tho tendency of the
tlmo to syndlrato and organlzo all
altruistic endeavor. Individualism ll
what wo should encourago In thli
field, says tho Columbia (S. C.) State.
Tho syndication method excels, per
hnps, In "emclcney," If ono npprnlspi
philanthropy by tho rale and dcgre
In which It translates good will or
tho ono hand Into relief and uplift ot
tho other. Hut wo havo never under

Well-doing at second hand Is not com
parable with well-doing that require!
Individual thought, anxiety nnd self
denial. Ono's senso of humanity and
his powers of compassion ntrophy tin!

ono performs himself the maximum o
kindly acts, phtlnnthroplc vlrtuo ll

and mnturcd. It Is good to see n ten

Philosophy Is, as somebody baa
11, merely a more than usually de
termined effort to think clearly. Hu
man nature seems to havo been en
dowed with n restless curiosity about
the great problems of existence. Most
of us do mora or less desultory think
ing about them, and to that extent
are philosophers. The nnclent Greeks
were tho first to consider the prob
lems serious and they brought to bear
on 'them the keenest sort of Intelli
gence. Since their time other keen
mlndB In all ngca have been concerned
with them. When we get a new Idea,
for Instance, we often feel as It we

where we come from and what the
real meaning ot life Is. Thoso and
similar problems come up at times In
the minds of most persons, whether
students of philosophy or not, says
the Kansas City Star. A considera

to widen tho horizon, nnd to give a

AN American city woniun wus
calling home from Paris.
"Charlie," sho said to n
Parisian friend of tho family,
r h o u matlc, knobby-handed,
with a bold snot, but still In circula
tion; "Charlie, I am quitting this Mod
ern Babylon, this Cavern of Folly "
"Pardon, Mabel, but you got about
with celerity," replied the gouty one.
"No Parlslenno of my acquaintance
can begin to touch your record."
"Oh, but Charlie, it was not for
pleasure," she reproached him gently.
"Often I was quite tired, but I kept
up Just to see."
Such were her last words. His were:
"Mabel, you're a fraud 1" Dut he was
mistaken. All the rich Americans who
come to Paris get about the resorts
with energy, fearful of missing some
thing. Parisians do not understand.
They Just wanted to see!
The husband of Mabel and two oth
ers trusted Charlie to take the ladles
to supper at the Abbaye after the thea
ter. Amid gypsy music, lights, toi
lettes, popping champagne, laughter,
practical Jokes and calls from table to
table, they noticed a pair of Spanish
dancing girls weaving a fandango in
tho aisles. Charlie stepped aside a
moment to speak to tho maitro d'hotel,
and, returning found that Mabel had
Invited tho dancing girls to their table.
"It's a Fur;rlso, Charlie," she Bald
gulltyily; but the scolded. "You know
you should not do it," ho said. "What
possessed you?"
"Oh," Bho answered, "It Is Just to
mako a study!"
After all, she said to him, because a
whole sorles of very smart resorts base
their existence on a previous Parisian
desire to make a "study," to see some
thing "different" and exclusive.
All the genesis of the little Jewel box
tneatrea a cote, "on the side," so popu
lar aliko with rich Americans and
Par'plans, Is here.
Pay for Insults.
It began when someone discovered
Alecandre Bruant's little cabaret for
laborers and masons, to whom rude
but powerful song writers warbled
their ballads of the "people." Friday
evenings the fashionables began arriv
ing In dress clothes and a string of
elegant equipages, to pay the beer $3,
and be good naturedly insulted by the
chorus ot habitues as they departed.
Next it was the Cabaret of Janitors,
tho Quat'z-Arta, tho Tavern of Assas
sins, Fursy's Shanty to which the
smart world still goes and many an
other, all copied on the sarao model.
it was seen mat tho fashionables were
glad to enter a little hall, where
everybody could not go because Ciero
wbb not room, because It was dear and
different. As soon as the middle class
and tourlsh public caught on the fash
ionables quit nnd tried another.
Grasping this tnste of the rich the
managers of those that remained
smart kept their prices very dear.

witty and retluud, would never be per
mitted on tho Btago ot a large theater.
The samo may be said of the costumes.
At one moment Regina might Jump
into the sea and scarcely wet her
clothes. There are half a dozen of
these theaters ot the first claBS, the
Michel, the Arts, the Madame, the
Mondaln, the Fursy, and so on. The
Grand Gulgnol makes a specialty ot
short pieces of horror and terror,
mnny of which have been adopted In
America.
At 7:30 p. m., In the lato Paris
spring, It Is still daylight. The rich
Americans, dressed In their evening
clothes, begin to get uneasy.
Tho witching hour approaches. Is
Dan coming?
The Sylvan Restaurants.
There are a hundred Dans, all in a
hurry, bubbling with life and ardor,
knowing everything and everyone.
Many are young Frenchmen ot best
families. Many are English and
Americans grown up In Paris. I do
not say that rich Americans cannot
get on without Dan In the evening,
but they'd rather have him.
At tho Instant Dan arrives, all ago,
and upsets all arrangements. (This
surprlso and upsetting has Its charm.)
It's too fine a night to dine ln-doors.
Quick, telephone to tho AmbaBsadeura
for a table! Great crowd there to
night, tho Due do Montpensler re
turned from his exploring expedition)
has a dinner party. Vanderbllt an
other, Sacha Maghan and the two
Grand Dukes, It will be delightful!
Evidently or they would bo Btuck.
Dinner in tho sylvan restaurants ol
tho Champs Elyseea Is the dearest eat
ing proposition In Paris. Laurent's Is
severely fashionable. Palllard's (Du
rand's) Is as fashionable and slightly
gayer. The Ambassadeurs, with Its
terraces, perron and balconies under
the trees yet partly enclosed from tao
wind, Is a charmed spot of gilded
youth and old age and fresh, laugh
ing beauty, a mixed world ot aristo
crats, racing men, actresses, profes
sional loveliness, notable foreigners'
and daring married ladies with their
husbands. Tho management Is that of
Maxim's. At lunch, the cookery Is the
best In Paris, and not dearer than the
other Maxim's; but dinner Is out of
price.
Gayety Is on the bill ot fare. But
always within correct boundB. Even
lone parties of rich Americans arrive
at a semblance of rollicking cheer,
while looking on. Half a dozen young
men of high family, half a dozen pretty
women vaguely of the theater play
li.dyllke practical Jokes on each other,
so keep things moving. They need not
pay for their supper. That Is why
your bill la higher.
If you want to see real crazy rozzle,
Dan will take you to the Abbaye de
Thelemo reference to old Rabelais'
tipsy Utopia, with its motto: "Do as
you please." To whet your appetite,
he will tell you Its story how tho dis
credited Montmartre night-restaurant,
with cobwebs on tta wall was taken In
hand by the Cafe do Paris and Armeno
vllle, and in one week filled with the
cream ot rioting Pnrls, the line ot
private equipages waiting two blocki
outside.
The supper for six persons, $50. And
cheap. All the while you have been
lulled by love songs. You have had
next to nothing to eat. If you want
more, It Is dearer. Breaking crockery
and setting fire to celluloid knits
handles, $40 extra.
Dinner was dearer, It you had
melon, lobster, flowers, prlmeur veg
etables, peaches, strawberries, cher
ries, cigars and Hquers, count It $80
or $120 for six persons. Habitues gel
It at halt price.

Betty
Repents
MammmmmmmmmmmwmmmmmwmmmmnwmamwmmmmmMmwm
By Dorothy Douglas
(Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary
Prcis.)
Betty had shown signs of rebellion
ilnce tho moment the nurse had plung
ed her Into her first small tub; at the
age of ten she was pretty but Relf
willed; at eighteen she threatened to
elopo with n second-rate actor because
sho was refiiRcd a racing motor car.
Arriving aU, twenty-one, beautiful nnd
headstrong. Betty considered herself
a very much abused person.
But with nil her faults Betty was
adnrnblo nnd adored. Her parents
loved her with a devotion that spoke
well for her ultlmuto good; they knew
that her perversity would one day
melt beforo the light of reason. In
many Email Instances Betty had al
ready succumbed to their tactful
methods, but In big things sho was ob
durate; she dlBlllicd giving In to the
will of another.
Tho crisis came when Betty'B par
ents flatly refused to let her take a
trip to Paris with Mathilda Davis.
Mathilda had a husband somewhere
on tho globe but sho preferred to
ftudy pnlntlng In tho Latin quarter to
living In domestic bliss. So vividly
hnd she painted the Joys of student
life to the untutored Betty that the
mtier reit lire no longer possible witn
out some of those Joys. After trying
every wilo nt her command In order
to gain her parents' consent and fall
ing, Betty defied pnrentnl authority
and skipped off with Mathilda to Paris.
Before taking her leave Betty'B fath
er had looked long and steadily Into
his wayward daughter's half-shamed
eyes.
"Remember!" ho said with stern
rlsage, "you are leaving my house for
the last time. In accepting tho chap
eronage of that woman you are no
longer a daughter of mine! We have
given you every comfort In life, and
now if you prefer to galavant through
the streets of Paris with a woman ot
that caliber to living respectably with
your parents you are at liberty to do
so." Peter Glrard turned from his
daughter without so much as a second
glance.
By force of will Betty swallowed the
great lump In her throat. Hnd her
father taken, her In his arms Bho
would probably never have sailed for
Paris, but he did not and Betty's eyes
flashed.
"Very well!" eho cried back defiant
ly, "I will not come back!" And for
fear lest the threatened tears fall
Betty went hurriedly from her father's
house and Into tho waiting village om
nibus. Once insldo Its musty depths
Betty had a good cry. Through her
tears she could so her mother's calm,
beautiful faco when sho had snld, "I
hope you are going to be happy In
your new life, Betty."
And when tho rumble of depnrtlng
carriage wheels died away Poter Gl
rard turned to hlB wlfo and thero wns
a twinklo In his eyes. Ho took his
wife in his arms.
'Cheer up, dear," be told her, "our
daughter has merely gono on a trip of
disillusionment and she will como fly
ing back to her llttlo mother and her
daddy before another two moons have
waned."
"Two months Is n long tlmo without
Betty," smiled the mother.
If two months seemed long to her
parents in Long Island, they proved
endless to Betty In Paris.
She had enjoyed the ocean trip to
the utmost. The newness of it all and
tho pleasure of meeting so many Inter
esting persons enst out all homesick
ness for the tlmo being. But try as
she might to retard it. Betty fed her
self drawing within her shell as far ns
Mathilda Davis was concerned. Tho
Intimacy brought about by sharing ono
cabin had not enhanced the woman's
charm.
Betty had been led to expect that
those persons on the boat who had
seemed such good friends would prove
tho same on land. It would take a
third or even fourth trip to convince
Betty that the friendship of shipboard
Is only a passing fancy. So Betty
met her first disillusionment. In Paris
eho saw two of the men who had been
charmed by her presence on ship
board, but things were not' the same
and after a dinner at a cafe or nn
evening at tho opera they, too. drop
ped out of her lire. At tho end of, a
rortnlght Betty found herself a atran
er In a strange land.
That she was paying the greater
half of the expenses did not bothor
her, but tho type of men who fre
quented their studio disgusted her.
Betty found herself longing for big-clean-minded
Tom Hillary, who
thought all women pure and beautiful
and sweet,
She realized that Pnrls and many'
things Parisian would have been beau
tiful to her had she not been so lone
ly. It stole over Betty's consciousness
gradually that happiness did not come
with having on's own way.
After a few weary dnys of trying for
the first time in her twenty-one years
to plan her own life, Betty decided to
go to London, where she would at
least bo among htr own people. It
waa a rel(ef to walk along the London
streets and find herself unmolested by
dapper little men with h!nck mus
taches No one looked at Iter upon
the street and no ono seemsd even to
notice her presence.
Betty's eyes grew wistful and het
lips dropped at the corners. No one
out of the thousands of human beings
In the largest of alt cities loved her.
Sho was completely and absolutely
alone.
With stubbornness greatly dimin
ished In her nature and pliability aug
mented Betty walked thoughtfully
past St. Paul'B cathedral and dowt
Cheapslde.
As llttlo things change the current
of life, Just so n little thing sent 8
rush of tears to Betty's eyes. It was
tho sight of four tiny typewriters in
a window on Cheapslde. Betty's fath
er had bought her ono of those very
portable machines with the hope that
sho would develop n budding sense of
poesy In her nnturo.
"Daddy loves mo nnd so doe
mamma," she told herself, "and 1 havt
been n selfish llttlo cat! I am golns
down to the old Bow street church
and think things out."
Botty walked on down townrd tht
chureh whoso bells had told Dick
Whlttlrgton to turn back ngaln toward
London. "Pcrhnps I, too. can hear
something In tho bells." sighed Betty.
A sense of awe stole over her when
slip stood within tho ancient, historic
edifice nnd she sllpr-ed quietly Into n
pew There was no ono In the church
and Betty wns glad becauso sho felt
like crying. In nn effort to divert her
mind from tho lump that was rising In
her throat she glnnced about nt the
wonderful windows, and ns her eyes
tested on tho one above tho altar the
tears carac unheeded.
The Virgin Mother wns there with
her Christ Child In her nrms. Betty
suddenly realized that since tho time
she herself had been n baby In nrms
her mother had guarded her from all
trouble and care; had potted and loved
her nnd now
Betty slipped down to her knees on,
tho worn hassock and burled her head
In her nrms. Her slight frame shook
with the eobs she had been forcing
back since the hour she hnd left her
father's house.
A soft footfall sounded, but Betty
scarcely heard, so deep was her re
pentance. Tom Hillary stopped nt sight of tho
weeping girl,' then caught a surpilsed
breath. Ho slipped an arm about her.
"Betty girl." was all he said, be
cause his own voice was not qulti
Bteady. Ho had drawn her up until
sho stood beside him.
Her eyeB clung to his In wonden
ment. Something deep and steady was
glowing there and Tom Hillary knew
his moment had como.
When ho spoke the gladness In hl
voice brought the color to Betty's
cheeks.
"I sailed from home tho week nftei
you left nnd hnvo been roaming tht
streets of Paris looking for either yon
or Mathilda. Yesterday I gave up and
crossed over to London." He looked
down Into her happy eyes. "When nrq
you going to marry me? Nothing elsu
matters."
Betty looked down nt tho llttlo rlwj
Tom had put on her finger when they
wero children, nnd smiled. After n
moment she snld shyly. "Just as 6oon
as I have sent a cable homo sayinr
'Betty repents.'"
Brown-Haired Pygmies.
Their frizzly hair Is not black, as li
that ot their neighbors of the const
tho Papuan and Melancslan negroes,
but Is predominantly brown. On thli
feature Mr. Williamson lays a good
deal of stress, because ho finds the
same tlngo to be characteristic ol
other pygmy peoples, such as the
Andnmanese, the Scmnng of tho Ma
lay. Peninsula and tho Aetas of the
Philippines. Anthropologists have
hitherto been divided over tho ques
tlon whether these dwarf peoples rep
resent a distinct branch of the ne
groids, or merely stand for so many
sporadic failures on the part of the
negro Rtock to display Its full power
of physical development. Our author
plausibly argues that, It further ob
servations bear out bis contention
that amongst pygmies generally a
dwarf stature goes together with
brown hnlr, we must concede to them
the status of a separate typo on the
strength of this double variation.

Living Fish Net.
A peculiar method of fishing Is em
ployed by the natives of certain ol
the Islands of Ocennlca.
At stuted Intervals nbout 200 ot
them will assemble on the beach, and
nil together plunge Into the water,
each carrying a branch of the coca
palm.
At a given distance from tho shore
they will turn toward It, and form n
compact half circle, each holding his
palm branch perpendicularly In tho
water, thus forming a kind of seine.
Tho leader of the party gives a sig
nal, and this living net approaches the
shore gradually, In perfect order, driv
ing beforo it a multitude of fishes.
Surrounded by this living wall and
caught In tho coca palm branches
many of tho fishes are cast on the
sands nnd others are killed with
sticks.
Norway Turning to Wagner,
"One ot the last European countries
to accept Richard Wagner," says a let
ter from ChrUtlanla, ."1b Norway. To
foreign ears It seems queer that, de
spite Its high culture, this country has
never become acquainted with the
works of the great German master.
The cause Is known full well to us
Norwegians. We have only 090 large
theater In the realm, the National,
In hls city. There we have bad occa
sional opera seasons of a few nlghtsv
at whkh nevor more than two operas
were performed. We had a season ot
Alda' nnd ono of 'Carmen,' and now
wo look forward to six performances
of 'Lohengrin,' and Norway will have
Joined tho Wagner ranks."

Writes Correspondent,
London. A correspondent, writing
from Nlcosln, Cyprus, recalls that Just
34 years ugo tho island was handed
over to the custody of tho English
people by tho tactics of a great Eng
lish prlmo minister. Tho annexation
was the outcome of tho Berlin confer
ence of 1878.
Tho Cyprus of 1878 was described
ns a "whlty brown paper colored, des
ett smitten, God forsaken island." But
the British are a nation of housemaids,
and their first act on acquiring now
territory Is to Bweep nnd to clean. And
right nobly has tho work In this In
stance ben done. Dirt, decay and dls
easo havo been vanquished, all uave
disappeared.
Tho population at tho tlmo of tho
British occupation was 180,000, ot
which two-thirds wero Greeks and tho
remainder Turks. The art of keeping

Shamokln, Pa. Aiming to soft-pedal
the cries of her two-year-old brother
Joe, six-year-old Helen MtBocky push
ed a lard can over tho little fellow's
head. The baby's muffled shrieks at
tracted the attention of the mother to
the can. Although sho held the baby
on the floor and tugged at the strange
damper, It refuses to budge because
It was caught under the child's chin.
The harder the mother pulled the
louder the boy cried. Finally the fran
tic mother took the canned child In
her arms and ran with him to the
railroad roundhouse, where two ma
chinists attempted to remove the can.
They finally had to resort to a pair of
big iron shears to remove the can,
As the can camo off blood flowed
from both sides of tho boy's head, and
It was found that he bad had a narsow
escape from losing his ears, both of
them being badly lacerated.
