WHY:-a
Rum Object* to Proposed Use
of Coliseum
flume of that emotionalism which
exa!U the good old times seems tc
have cropped out in Rome over the
government's lease of the historic
Coliseum to a theatrical company. A
former mayor of Rome brands the act
as "a desecration," and most citizens
are said to< Indorse the sentiment.
The Coliseum, of course, Is hoary
with interesting traditions, among
which are very sacred Christian
traditions. But It Is difficult to see
how Its return to the uses of amuse
ment would desecrate 1C That war
what It was built for. and It is hard
ly likely that modern theatrical art
would profane It any worse than it
was profaned by the amusement art
of the later emperors.
Leasing the ancient structure for
modern spectacles may Indeed exem
pllfy a poetic justice, "While stands
the Coliseum Rome will stand,” and
now It becomes a potential revenue
producer to aid a country In need of
new sources of revenue. What a
place for a motion-picture perform
ance of "Life Under the Caesars,"
with the emperor in his box and the
gladiators In the arena standing face
to face with death and with the
Roman populace, the senators, the
vestals, the glided youth, the merel
Isas audience turning Its thumbs
down, and all that! Existence would
havs a new thrill for the movie fan
and the circus would help pay treas
ury bill*—New York World.
SMILE SELDOM MAKES ENEMY
Why It Would Pay Any Person to Cul
tlvats a Cheerful Disposition
and Demeanor.
If I were to be born Into this world
again and had the choice of my en
dowments I should arrange very care
fully about my smile, writes "Alpha
of the Plough," In the London News.
Thais Is nothing so Irresistible as the
right sort of smile. It Is better thau
the silver spoon la the mouth. It will
carry you anywhere and win you any
thing, Including the silver spoon. It
disarms your enemies and makes them
forget that they have a grudge
against you.
“I have a great many reasons tor
disliking you.” said a public man to s
friend of mine the other day, “but
when I am with you I can never re
member what they are." It was the
patch of sunshine that did for him.
He could not preserve his hostility lu
the presence of the other’s disarming
smile and gay good humor. He just
yielded up his sword and sunned him
self in the pleasant weather thnt the
other carried with him like an ntnios
phere.
Really first-rate smiles are singular
ly rare. Only rarely do we light upon
the smile thnt Is a revelation. Hnrry
l.nuder's smile Is like a national Insti
tution or s natural element. It Is
plentiful enough to fill the world. It j
is a continual and abundant feast that
requires neither words nor chorus,
and when he laughs you can no more
help feeling happy than he can.
Why Rad Ant Takas Prisoners.
The red ant Is a typlcul soldier; he
does nothing hut fight. He has power
ful jaws, and Is generally strong, but
he cannot get along without a slave
to feed him. If he were left to feed
himself he would die. He continually
raids the nests of weaker Insects and
brings them back as prisoners, thus
solving the servant problem and keep
ing himself well supplied with at
tendants. There Is a species of ant
In Australia called the bulldog ant,
because of Its extreme pugnacity. It
will fight anything and everything. If
one of these ants Is accidentally cut
In half, one half will actually fight
the other half to the death.
Why One Knocks on Wood.
There was at one time past a gen
eral belief that trees and humanity
were allied In close bonds of union, end
that certain trees bad healing quali
ties. It was customary for a person
——P——————
afflicted with disease to taka a woolen
string of three colon, and with hi*
right hand tie his left loosely to the
limb of a tree, then slip It out and
hasten homeward without casting a
glance hack, the belief being that the
disease was transferred to the tree by
touching It. Thus from a tree It has
become common practice to touch any
article made of wood to ward off mis
fortune.
Why tha New Clark Stayed.
"That new clerk of ours won’t do,"
said the Junior member.
"Why not?" asked the head of the
firm.
"He was an hour late the first morn
ing he came to work.”
"1 spoke to him about that. He snld
he overslept because he sat up unttl
two o'clock In the morning writing
out-of-town friends and relatives
about what a splendid concern had
given him a Job. We need a quick
thinker aroun . here and I guess we’d
better keep him."—Birmingham Age
Herald.
Why Smell Would Bo Enough.
The young woman entered the gro
cery and approached the meat coun
ter.
“Give me a nickel’s worth of
cheoRe.” she said to the butcher.
“Why. lady, you won’t get a smell
for a nlcktd,” the butcher replied, giv
ing her a disgusted glance.
■'That's all I want,” was the Mi
ni,ant answer, “It's for a mouse
New York Evening Poet.
Why Mountains Ara Lovod.
All the world loves the mountain*—
loves them as color patterns on the
blue, as marvels of light and shad*, aa
symbols of peace and purity—loves
them. In other words, as one might a
picture. That there Is a supreme
grandeur about the peaks and a great
beauty In the leaser hills every one
will acknowledge. But the grandeur
of the peaks Is as hard to capture with
the brush ns the beauty of the hills
with the pen. The landscape-painter
and the writer have had very moder
ate success In portraying them. The
great features of nature seem defiant
of representation.—John O. Van Dyke.
Why Thermometers Vary.
Thermometers vary in their Indies- ;
tlons mainly on account of exposure. |
assuming that the instruments them
selves register similarly under like
conditions. The height above gronnd
la an Important factor, particularly
on still nights, when radiation la quite
active near the earth's surface, at
which time Important difference! be
tween thermometer* located only short
distances apart are recorded. When
there Is considerable air movement
i these differences disappear to a great
I extent

31K. FOX AND THE
STOATS
IT WAS winter time In the woods,
and the Four-Footed club sat
round *t he fire talking over their af
ntrs, for they had cooked the last tur
ley and the lust of the wood was now
Miming.
"In all my long experience," said Mr.
fox, -“I have never known food to be
ic scarce, and wliut there Is of It Is
w poor I doubt sometimes If Mr. Mau
ran be feeding his fowl as be should.”
“I think Mr. Dog gets more than his
ihare," said Mr. Coon, “for he seems
itrong enough. He cun run just as
’ar as ever I can see."
“I should not be surprised If he
were to blame,” said Mr. Possum, “for
our bard luck; maybe be eats up
everything that Mr. Man gives to the
poultry, be Is so glrung aud big. Very
likely he takes it away from those
poor things.”
“No, It Isn't Mr. Dog who Is to blame
If I am a guesser,” said Mr. Fox, set
ilng back in his chair and taking from
tiis mouth his corncob pipe, "but 1
think 1 run tell you who Is to blame
.'or our not having anything in out
jtanfrv."
Hut Mr. Fox wished to be asked, aud
lid not stop smoking until Mr. Coon
•ould stand It no longer, and asked:
‘Who is taking our food? Tell us, II
vou know !’•
"Well, perhaps I should not aay h<
Hiking it right away from us. hut
certainly If he and his family were
uoi aroimd we would have no trouble
In getting plenty to eat."
“But who la It?" aaked Mr. Possum,
sitting on the very edge of his chslr,
with Impatience. “Who is it, Mr. Fox'/
Tell us ihut!"
When Mr. Fox had begun to All his
pipe, he said: “It Is Mr. Stost and
family. Yes, that whole stuck-up
family are to blame, and when I think
of that miserable, sneaklnf lot I think
I should do something desperate 1”
“But 1 do not aee how they take
away our supply,” said Mr. Coon. “I
have uever seen them around here."
“No. of courae not." said Mr. Fox.
"But don’t you know that the whole
Stoat family has new white coats, and
that It can get around In the snow
without being seen much easier tban 1
can, or either of you fellows?"
•That Stoat family," aald Mr. Fox.
“when 1 was a youngster, used to be
called the weasel family, and when
they are not dressed In those Une white
coats of theirs they wear a very home
ly brown one, and are a very common
looking family; so they need not put
on airs with me."
“I thought of a plan to drive away
that Stoat family." said Mr. Fox, "but
1 must have some help, and there Is
no chasing In it; so you two need not
get uneasy.
”1 want you to go with me up to
Mr. Man’s barn. There are plenty of
rata In there, and there Is also a big
pall of black paint, and that Is where
we put It over Mr. Stoet end family."
Just what happened Inside the baru
Mr. Fox and bla friends never knew.
But when the Stoat family came out
they could be plainly seen against the
white snow, for every one of that fam
ily was black.
Whether the farmer tracked them
by the paint or whether they felt se
disgraced by having their Ane white
coats spoiled Mr. Fox and his friends
never knew^ but they disappeared
from around those parts and the farm
yard was not so carefully guarded
after that.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?

L Common Error* in English and \
How to Avoid Them
aweyeMuwyetotoaMiyeeyeyJ
THE USE OF “THE."
THIS little word, which Is called
by grammarians the definite arti
cle, Is often misused, being placed In
sentences where It does not belong,
and being left out where It should
he used. Often such misuse causes
mlsunderstar-tlng of the meaning of
the writer or speaker. For example,
suppose you say, "The president and
secretary of the lodge attended the
meeting." This Is correct if the of
fices of president and secretary are
united In one person; that Is, If there
Is one tnau who Is both president and
secretary. But If there are two men,
one of whom Is the president and the
other is the secretary, the sentence
should read, “The president and the
secretary of the lodge attended the
meeting.” The article should be re
peated ; then there Is no room for mis
understanding the speaker or the
writer.
When we sa/, “The black and white
horse,” we mean one horse which la
marked with the two colors; but when
we say, "The bla<# horse and the
white horse,” we mean two horses, one
black and one white.

But Blaine was not born In tha

origin date* back to the days of beau

Helen, coming from the Greek hello*,
meaning light, was permitted to drop
Its Initial “h" and become Ellen. In
Cambria, however, this was too lacking
la poetry to be popular and It wa*
•Ailed Klayne. It occurred under that
spelling In the registers of early times
and thus explains the gentle lady
Blayae, mother of Sir Galahad, whom
Tennyson make* his Lady of Shalott.
The name came to prominence again
a* Lady Blayno of the Round Table,
Elaine the fair, Blaine the lovable,
Blaine the lily maid of Aatelot, whose
tragic fate Is the source of song *nd
story In the “Idyll* of the King.” Her
Irish prototype w** Blayne or Ktleen
O'Brien, who likewise met with a trag
ic end, taking her own life after being
carried away to Castle Knock by Rog
