He Minded a Little Bit.
Hans Christian Audersun, the gentle
fabulist, often displayed the cuprices
of n lovable and sensitive child, whose
floods of sunshine are followed by del
uges of ruin, George Braudes, the Dan
ish critic, told this story of the soft
henrtecl fairy tnlo writer:
“Andersen was a child of the pcoplo
and never, even in his-old ago, did ho
lose his wonderful childlike simplicity
which. If It threw the glumour of fairy
land over Ills creations, was neverthe
less not without its amuslug side.
“He was peculiarly sensitive to crit
icism of any kind. One day in a cafe a
friend noticed that he was reading In
tently a spiteful criticism of his work
written by an unknown scribbler In a
newspaper of no account and said to
him:
“ ‘Surely you don’t mind what a
newspaper like that may say about
you ?•
“Anderson looked up, and the friend
saw that tears were rolling down his
cheeks.
“ ‘Yes,’ he snld, hesitatingly, ‘I do
mind—just a little.’ ”
Tho Artist's Need.
“Do you know what Is the great es
sentia.] to tho artist—to whoever cre
ates ? The sense of privacy, the power
to Isolate bis own genius- from every
thing; in the world, to be absolutely
concentrated. . To tfreate we must be
alone, have strange, unuttered
thoughts, just ns In the realms of the
soul every human being must have
moments of complete isolation-
thoughts, reveries, moods, that cannot
be shared with even those we love
best. You understand that?’’
“Yes, I do.”
“At tho bottom wo human beings
come and depart absolutely alone.
Friendship, love, all that we instinc
tively seek to rid ourselves of, this
awful solitude of the soul, avail noth
ing. Well, what others shrink from
the artist must seek.”—Owen Johnson
In Century Magazine.

Bismarck’s Prophetio Pips.
Prince Bismarck was a great pipe
collector, and the gem of his collection
had a.curious history. Many years ago
Bismarck was accosted by a peddler
and asked to buy a plain meerschaum
pipe of the type that he most affected.
At first he declined, but the peddler
claimed for the pipe a power of fore
cast and told him he would serve
three emperors as minister and that
three important changes in life would
be foretold by accidents befalling the
pipe- Laughing, Bismarck bought the
pipe. He served threo emperors, ami
two dnys before the historic occasion
when lie was refused an nudlence the
stem of the plpo fell to pieces. Lnter
lie chipped a piece from the side of
the bowl accidentally, and within a
month his practical dismissal by tho
emperor occurred.

Old English Eleotions.
As an Illustration of the violence that
was once common during political
campaigns in England Is a quaint bill
from a lawyer after an election at An
dover In 1708: “To being thrown out of
tile George Inn. Andover, to my legs
being thereby broken, to surgeon’s bill
and loss of time and business, £500.” •

TRY TO SEE CLEARLY.
The greatest thing a human soul
ever does in this world is to see
something and tell what it saw in a
plain way. Hundreds of people can
talk for one who can think, but thou
sands can think for one who can see.
To see clearly is poetry, prophecy
and religion all in one.—Ruskin.
. Where Lovo Is.
A little girl was lost on the street
and was brought Into the police sta
tion. The officers tried in every way to
learn her nnme. Filially oue of the offi
cers said:
"Tell me, little girl, what nnme doea
your mother cull your father?"
"Why,", responded the child inno
cently, "she don’t call him any nnmes;
she likes him."—Youth’s Companion.
Her Line.
“Now our cook hns gone away I

“I thought you told me your wife

“Not n bit of It. 1 told you ray wife
