DOUsBT THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT. Fame. fy STUART B. STONE. AME is a fleeting, dazzling, rainbow- colored bubble, characterized by a tend- ency on the partof the possessor to acquire namesakes in the way of ten-cent cigars and motor boats, and entitling him to the same size of type in the newspaper head- lines as that given to middleweight cham- pions and the most original Chinese mur- derers, When fame comes under a Pittsburgh, Albany, or Reno headline, it is called “notoriety.” When it comes by a major- A LA HAMLET.

Fame is acquired in countless ways—by testifying to the merits of a patent medi- cine, by burying sextants at Etah, by making a triple play unassisted, or by A SIGN OF INDIGESTION LOVE SUPREME.

Shake- speare, who was evidently thinking of in- surgents, declared it might be won at the Cannon’s mouth, Fame endures, in most cases, until the newspapers get hold of a new divorce case worth printing the testimony verbatim, or until somebody clips a third of a second off a world’s record.

The following direc- tions, if closely observed, will produce surprising results. Take a position at the piano indicative of languid noncha- lance, with head bent forward as if brooding. Run the left hand lightly up and down the keys at random and with no particular tempo; at the same time apply the right elbow forcibly to various sections of the upper register, including as many keys as possible in each stroke. The resulting composition may be attributed to Debussy and will be. found most effective at afternoon teas. It may be labeled, “Gnomes Sitting on a Moun- tain Brook.” To produce a Richard Strauss effect, plant both arms firmly on the keyboard, renewing the pressure at times. Beat continually with the fists or any other parts of the body What yo" poutin’ so foh, honey ?"" "as tre'ndious as Ab does dis watah million at command. Keep the loud pedal down throughout. This composition may be called, ‘Apotheosis of a Blacksmith’s Soul."” A Prescription. By CHARLES C. JONES. Just when you're feeling rather blue, Unloose your purse-strings. Gently? Sure!
