highly commended for his efforts nnd
while many of the larger cities have

her, he bus by his energy been enabled
to bring her to our city for her first
recital of her season, thus giving us one
of the rarest musical treats ut the be
ginning of our musical season.

t
The fad Is growing for making epi
grams nnd framing codes. A writer
who cannot write In epigrams Is as use
less ns one who cannot get up a his
torical novel in the spuce of six weeks.
To make an eplgrum, you take a pro
verb und turn it wrong side before or
upside down, or make it say something
directly the opposite of what It was
meant to say the more Impudently the
better add there Is your epigram!
Tho code Idea Is different. I don't
know whether Elbert Hubbard Is partly
responsible or not, In his "Credo." Of
course there were others who framed
creeds and codes long before Mr. Hub
bard discovered East Auiora and the
Philistine, but not everyone made nn
edition de luxe of tho fad to adorn the
sanctums of would-bo literary ladles
and men who have a spoke loose In
their theology. A credo with red and
black Illuminated lettering, dn paper,
which is a twin brother to that fur
nished by the butcher with the meat,
gives a certain distinction to any code
or croed.
There Is one woman in this town who
divulged a little code the other day
which appealed to mq as being worth
Illuminating. It has never occurred to
her that it should even be written out,
not to mention framing. Indeed It Is
highly probable that she Is unaware
she possesses a code at all. It Is as
short and simple as the annals of the
poor, and runs something like this:
"Never Repeat Gossip."
Now this sounds familiar and you
may think you have heard It before and
perhaps you have, but somehow she
seems to apply It differently than others
apply the same Idea- Tou know there
are those who make a. great pretension
of disliking to hear a piece of gossip "I
and who impress you as being extreme
ly rigid in their views on this matter,
yet their attitude scarcely affects the
spreading of scandal for they are often
hpard repeating something with tho
prefatory statement: "I never hear
hjtnything, for my friends all know how
objectionable gossip is to me, but I just
happened to have this told me."
m
But my lady of the code listens plac
idly to what you may have to say and
Is apparently .interested. She wears no
frown of disapproval and sits in judg
ment on none of her garrulous friends.
They always see in her a sympathetic
companion and they seldom recognize
a peculiar trait in her composition. But
let them try to find out something
which someone else has told her and
then the difference is evident. By no
possibility will she be Induced to reneat
ta bit of gossip about anyone. She is
probably the receptacle of .more confi
dences than are other women, and she
certainly hears scandal and scraps of
gossip that are floating in the air, but
no one can say that she has ever been
caught repeating what Is detrimental to
anybody. AVhether the 'gossip Is true
or false, It finds a grave In her ears and
never passes her lips. "I hnvo made it
a matter of principle," she says simply,
"to refrain from repeating what I hear
in the way of scandal or gossip. It Is
an easy habit to form, and while it
probably has no perceptible effect in
the world, It satisfies my own sense of
duty."
AA'hy Js it that most of us like to be
the first to tell a piece of news? It
matters not whether the news may be
good or bad; whether It Is an announce
ment thnt there nre to be no more
strikes forever and the day after, or
whether It Is to the effect that the Thir
teenth regiment has been altogether ex
terminated by the peaceable citizens of
this valley, just to prove the oft-made
assertion that there was no earthly
need of calling out the troops; whether
It Is the Information that our dearest
friend's husband has been beating his
mother-in-law or that our dearest foe
has been left a fortune, we llko to bo
the first to tell It.
The desire to be the first to tell news
should hnvo a strong Interest for the
psychologist. It develops very early.
An Illustration may be cited IriMho
young person of four, who declared that
there wore "more than n thousand cats
In our back yard;" finally, under pres
sure, reducing tho number to "our cut
and another eat, nnyway!" The fad
dists on child study, which Is now the
chief end of educators, say that this Is
an evidence of tho primitive desire of
the child to be the center of attraction;
to be Important enough to gain n hear
ing. Most of us never get over this
primitive stage of development. Tho
small boy who had been stung to des
peration by tho usurpation of the cen
ter of the stage by a rival who had Just
lost a cousin by death, posssessed this
Instinct to a marked degree. The
undertaker happening to pass at that
time gave him the Idea, "He's going
to our house," the boy stated, with
chlld-llko equanimity, Then It was
that he gained the full attention of the
small audience made up of several
urchins,
"Who Is It?" they asked, breathlessly.
"I guess a cousin ain't much, when
a boy's mother Is dead," ho replied in
truly contemptuous accents, and while
tho results of disseminating this start
ling bit of information were disastrous
In the end, ho achieved the ambition of
his heart and was temporarily the star
performer, tho merely cousin-bereft
youngster receding Into the dim back
ground. Sometimes we grow up with this
childhood trait tempered with moder
ation that stops bhort of killing off our
relatives for the sake of being tho chief
figure In the tableau, but p all have
It more or less developed and we do
like to be the first to tell, as well as to
hetir, news. Don't you? Saucy BebS.
