At eventide I sup pose they went; and got it out We are all prone to consider the effect of all onr mov upon our own future even while locking for light and trying to be governed by the purest motives. A little boy -whose papa was a clergy man was asked by a neighbor once if his father had decided to accept a call to preach at Minneapolis at an advance of $200 per year salary. The lad said he did not know. His father was praying for light, but most of the things were packed. It is so too o "ten with all of us. We try to be governed by the purest motives, but how often we ask for divine guid ance while packing our things! Di T3K DINTXQ CAB. Chicago has several distinct advan tages over New York which 6trike a traveler at once. One of them is the rapidity with which one gets his bag gage in Chicago. When you land in New York or approach the city a well informed and t alented gentleman carry ing a large mas s of echoing brasses on a big wire key ring goes through your train with a little memorandum book and agrees to transfer your luggage to your home or iotel before you can pos sibly get there yourself. You have rishly agreed to get mar ried on your arrival, perhaps, or you may have accepted an invitation to be present at a large dinner where you will make a few spc ntaneous, typewritten re marks. So when this able and thor oughly well in formed baggage checker man takes your check and your address you heave a sigh of relief and begin to drink in the picturesque beauties of Elizabeth and Jersey City, those beauti ful abodes of wealth and beauty, and with joy you si iff the rich aroma from the bone works along your route. You feel assured that when you get to your inn or your chocolate colored flat in One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street your trunk will be on the stoop with a glad welcome and one hinge waiting for you. But after sev-?ral bitter experiences in this way you filially give it up and yield to despair. I do not know how many happy wedding have been broken off by the Express and Transfer and General Mephistopheles association, of New York, or how many iupromptu speeches have died in the bosom of the typewriter be cause of this great incorporated disap pointment company. Once I got my trunk on time, but my wife did not. We were to go together somewhere, for we were not then posted regarding New York customs. So we were to go together. It was an evening affair, and it was full dress. I wanted to wear my fidl dress, for I had a nice new suit with embroidery down the side of the leg. It was my first effort in evening drers a id I was perishing to try it, but my wifa said nay. It would be very rude and t'e trop to wear evening togs when she appeared in a street dress. So I relented ami went in short coat with hectic necktie and mingled with those who were clad in the severest evening dress tl roughout. No one knows how many hearts have bled over these sickening delays and disappointments. I remained a month in New York at that time hoping for another invitation which would necessitate evening toilet, but no one askei me out. In Chicago the railways come almost into the center f the city on the north. wit and south, and when yon have bathed your features, aud looked under the bed for a burglar, and rummaged the drawers of 1he dressing case for for gotten hosiery b nd the bric-a-brac of de parted guests, the porter knocks softly at your door an 1 wheels in on a rubber tired truck your welcome trunk. It is a very great comfort and delight. Last week I net a man on the train who got even with lue in a way 1 de ppise. He had been my gnest once at home for a wtek, aud I certainly tried to make it plea-'ant for him duriug that time. He remained at the house as much the propr etor as I was. He got tip when he felt like it in the morning, and his breakf.ist was ready for hiui. We saved out the tender corner of the steak for him, and though we didn't al ways like to do it, we refused the secoud joint of the fowl because we knew he liked it and his nerves were not quite strong, being sort of a genius the kind of genius that does not think it has to be responsible; the kind of intellectual child wonder that ignores the dnll de tail of receipt 1 bills and a just equiva lent to people w ho have no genius. You have se in such a genius. It ex ists in every profession. He is the kind of man who valks over the prostrate bodies of his friends and regards his wife as a misguided being who has been mercifully peniitted to stand around and admire him and reach up under Lis vest for a sfay suspender that he can not get hold of. He does not hold him self auienable t the laws which govern other people. Ileing a genius, he takes three pieces of pie and then expect the family to sit vp all night and hold his head for him. - ' ' . He is the aoTOr of business men, tua beU noir ot rotumonplace people. He " we spoiAHt ny a little aotsce In the paper, and should he bedded down every night with barley straw and fed on corn In the ear. Genius is a good thing, so I m told, and I do not despise It myself, bnt when it is made to take the place of common decency and snaps it fingers at friendship, I would rather not see any signs of it in my children. This man was one whose work I had admired. I could not see how his heart could be otherwise than pure and un selfish. His words had called up' the tenderness which is common in the hearts of all, even in the coarse nature of the funny man. I read his beautiful lines, and I said to myself: "Here is one whose soul is all aglow with divine sun shine. He lives in a perpetual Indian summer of gladness, and the birds and the angels love to associate with him." His soul was all aglow with sunshine when things went his way, but when they did not it was aglow with a red re flection from the great coke works where the worm dieth not and the fire de partment is an ignominious failure. I would not advise a tender, trusting girl to marry a genius like that Marry a plain, openfaced mechanic who is will ing to submit to the laws which govern humanity in general, rather than the spoiled pet of a pelt hunting public which adores at a distance and despises at short range. Select one who is willing to give blow for blow, smile for smile and dollar for dollar wherever he goes; a man who does not live in the artificial warmth of a silly adoration, who is not perpetually yearning for another curtain call, whose morbid and boundless appe tite for praise takes at a gulp the simple devotion of a wife and children and howls for more and more. Very few men of nnusual ability and genius are firm friends or domestic sac cesses. Why is it? In my judgment it is for the simple reason tnat in the matter of praise they finally get to preferring quantity rather than quality. They would rather get a column of the most obvious rot than a paragraph of genuine indorsement They need it by the bale and so they must fill up on the cheap and non-nutritions taffy of strangers, when if their taste had not been destroyed by gorging, a valuable eimile from a valued friend would go farther than the ringing ap plause of a thoughtless multitude. I saw my gifted friend last week, and somehow as we rode along on the train it seemed to occur to him that he ought to "get even with" me in some way for past hospitalities. I did not look at it in that way, but he did. - So he asked me to dine with him on a buffet car. We had tomato soup canned; pickled lamb's tongues tinned; Bert's justly celebrated Belgian crackers, canned pudding and revised coffee. (Ha had waited till we rrn&svl t.h lin and cnt into a state where no liquors are sold.) Then we had a cigarette, and his obliga tion to me as a host was wiped eut Genius is a good thing, but if it should break out in my family I think I would call in the doctor before it got much of a start All the way from Edgar A. Poe to Blind Tom the history of genius has been clouded by ingratitude, domestic infelicity and cruelty. Let us each and evnry one, as we crouch around our own firesides to eat popcorn and Spitsbergen apples of mediocrity, re member that there is a sweet and bean tifnl flavor to a square and yet unevent ful life which the pampered children oi abnormal and overgrown talent never know. finiuuu, buc ISLAND PACIFIC Kitt- - ' . . .
