If not with patience and perseverance you can achieve it irst listen to yourself whenever you laugh You will prob ably be very disagreeably surprised and realize how ugly laughter can be You must

New York City's Greatest Mysteries Says Writer New York Is a city of mysteries ir more ways than one It Is an old 'legend that we do not know tlie names of the people in the next flat and like most legends that Is not exactly true says a writer In the New York Sun and Globe but there is one case of anonymity which has bothered a great many New Yorkers and does not ap per to have any really good solution That is the identification of tlie little stenographer who directly across the court or even across the street at a window just opposite yours winch is entirely destitute of sign or indication of what sort of a place it Is More than one man has puzzled over tnis even to the extent of searching the building adjacent to dis cover an answer to the query in his heart but something always seems to be coming up to block liliu More than one young man has stood long hours In front of the entrance to the adjacent building but stenog raphers do not appear to look tlie same when they emerge in their street clothes as when one glimpses them through a glamorous window Probably it is the same way with young men that they too go unrecog nized when they stand uncertainly upon a curbstone in a cake eater's costume without the identifying eye shade At any rate It has been suggested that every business office should have some identifying sign upon its side as well as its front windows and that there ought to be some way of making acquainted these young persons who spend so much of their employers' time In friendly but futile staring across the great open spaces of downtown New York TREASURE ISLANDS ARE REAL Many Have Been Searched for Buried Wealth and Sometimes It Has Been ound There are quite a number of Islands scattered about the world whereon buried treasure exists And people are always trying to find it Quite a score of attempts have been made for instance to unearth the treasure alleged to be buried on Cocos island Yet so far the adventurers have reaped no reward for their toil ully £50000 has been wasted again in futile attempts to recover the reported to be hidden near the lip of the crater of an active very active volcano on Pa gan island in the Ladrone group Still as a set off against many fail ures there have been a few successes There is no douht for instance that a Liverpool sailor named John Ad ims unearthed treasure to the value of be tween £150000 and £200000 on Auck land island some years back while William Watson a shepherd recov ered in ISOS nearly a ton of gold that had been hidden on one of the Queen Charlotte islands Likewise two run away seamen named Handley and Cross successfully located and dug up a valuable hoard on Oak island off the coast of No? a Scotia and this after many others had failed igure This for Yourself Two men were angling in the river or some time they sat in silence smoking their pipes and watching their lines Suddenly one of them ut tered an excited exclamation and dropped his rod into the river "Dil you see that fellow fall off that cliff over there into the he shouted get excited Tom" answered his companion soothingly may be a cinema actor doing one of his stunts Thev often make
