The imagination may magnify 'the u.Tcrings of a particular Illness and increase the length of time that the Victim will imagine himself or herself sick, and it can,, of course, inflict ' frightful amounts of .'discomfort and distress upon the members of their ; famllies;bu; it seldom or never goes beyond this. One can no more im agine himselfinto a serious illness, than he can by taking thought add a cubit to his stature; - : , One consideration should Always be allowed to temper either our mirth, or our Indignation in dealing with these poor malades imagmaires; and that is, that, every one of them 4s really sick if only ever so little? They xAay no be t one-tenth so sick as they think they axe, and their disease may be as dtf Lferent as the poles from that which . they "are proud to boast it is, but they actually are diseased In some respect v . or they wouid neither Invent nor per - aist in these singular delusions.

Both Sir. rockefeller end Mr. Rog ers have been pictured as possessing vast amounts of actual money drawn, from the public and presumab ly hidden or .placed a Way so that ;here could Ibe almost a miser-like contem plation of it. But the testimony in the Standard Oil . hearing and the equally authentic testimony respecting Mr. Rogers' embarrassment go to fur nish an object lesson showing to the public certain facts wMi which they have been, unfamiliar, but with which men of affairs have had no lack of knowledge.-"1..

For the actual necessaries of life and even such relatively ex pensive manner of life s Mr; Rog ers has chosen, it is, of course, no em barrassment for him that there should be no money stringency. .But eo far as the necessary protection of his in- vea;ments .and the' complexion of his plans are concerned it does become a very serious question when, coinci dent with a great ' depreciation in prices of securities which, if contin ued, must toe followed "by depreciation in value, .there 'comes also a scarcity of money . capital.

HIGH VAUDEVILLE SALARIES, One Thousand Dollars a Week Com mon and No Act Gets Less Than Severtty-Flve Dollars. "The Business Side of Vaudeville," In The October Everybody's. Of all people who work for their living, vaudeville perfermers are the best paid. Of three-fourths, yes, sevr en-eights, of the traveling theatrical companies, the whole salary list does not amount to $2,500 a week, and yet in vaudeville that much is paid to one performes what, gives an eighth of the performance. It Is true that a 12,500-a-week performer doesn't ap pear orten m any one theatre, but an act that costs $1,000 a week has be come -the rule rather than the excep tion In every bill while a great ma jority of the acts cost from $280 to $500, and In the f. best' vaudeville houses.no act costs less than $75 a week. ! "Chasers," employe to drive audiences out of the houses . giving continuous performances, get that much. In the good vaudeville houses the salary list of performers ranges from $2,500 to $4,000 a week, and the maximum is paid. more often than th minimum.- Occasionally the' cost will run to $5,000 a week.. The stand ard' In practically every flrsticlasa vaudeville house in the country is j.xou a wteu, and each , manager tries to Keep as Close to. that as pos si bie. It has been found that this will provide an attractive bill .and yet leave a isir margin or pront.

His fourth successive nomination for Mayor iby the city convention yester day Is regarded by his intimates as a decided step toward the White House. large extenthave aided in furthering i the Mayor's Presidential ambition.! Che publication by Representative Burton ef President. iRopsevelt a let ter urging him to accept the'iRepwb liicatt nomination for Mayor enabled Mr. Johnson to raise the if ry that the present contest was of national scope. although he himself desired to ngnt it out on purely (municipal lines. t (Mr, Burton disclaimed any inten tion of dragging the national Admin istration.lnto the contest, and Insisted that it onust be settled on purely lo cat lines, ut the Johnsonltes aro till shouting that the re-election of tne Mayor means a oereat tor rresi dent Roosevelt and a4d ihat in such an event Mr. Johnson will be the Democratic party's' , logical candidate tor president nest year..;. . y William J.

They argue that the Democratic r factions in the iBmrpire State never will unite upon tMr. Hearst, ana that there Is no , other party man i in that S'tate who is likely to ibe seriously consid ered by the country at large as a fac tor In the race. They point to the fact that Mr, Hearst and "Mayor Johnson are the closest friends,, tfnd argue from this that the editor poli tician, falNng himself to have a win ning chance, will do all in his power to have New York's vote cast solidly for IMr. Johnson when the time, for the convention , "ballot arrives. 'Illinois also Is expected to fall Jntb line - for Mr.. Johnson. ' Durini the recent Mayoralty contest in Chicago he made so many visits to that metro polis and was so frequently in con sultation with Judge 3unne, who vainly, sought . re-election as 'Mayor, that toy common'irewspaper consent he was dubbed "Assistant Mayor.". He was in the thick of the right for Judge Dunne, and It Is confidently predicted that this political debt will be paid with a national convention delega tion from Illinois practically, If not absolutely, pledged to Mr. Johnson. Michigan is another State -which la looked to by the Johnsonltes as being more then likely to foe arrayed In the Johnson column, in the recent .Mayoralty contest in TJetroit Mayor Johnson did exactly what he did in Chicago, with the exception that the Democrats won instead of lost. This makes another political debt which is likely to T)e paid In the national convention if Mayor Thompson, of Detroit, has his way, and incidentally this self-same Mayor has become a power in Michigan Democratic .poll tics. ' - ' ; At present (Mayor Johnson is per sona non grata In the Innermost Democratic councils In his v -home State of Ohio. John R.

COTliliAlT, praising Pioneers , It is characteristic of all people to sing the praises of ploneerV Whether In the field of discovery, in vention or the arts. Every Ameri can has It born In him t laud the name t( Columbus for being the first to sail the unknown seas : and 'dis cover the" way to the American continent, . which in reality was dis covered later by others. The praise Is still his : for ; blazing the way In the field of discoveries that followed in rapid pace after his first crossing f the Atlantic, i Recently there have been sung throughout the breadth and the length of this land praises to the name h of ; Robert Fulton, the first Inventor of the steamboat, and yet his Clermont was asr nothing to the ' immense Lusltanla, which only a few days ago crossed the Atlantic in just Ave days, breaking all records for a vessel of such immense pro portion W Fulton's name Is as much greater-ia history 'than that of the maker of this great vessel propelled by its turbine wheels as his boat was smajler than this mighty (trans-Atlantic steamer. Edison Is the wizard who mke the lightning to do his bidding and has contributed more than any thousand other men of the present to making this the electrical age, and yet It Is very doubtful if in the centuries there will be any greater praise V fo this " electrical wlsard than" there Is for Ben Frank lin, who made the simple test,, that has led to all later discoveries in the electrical world. . This same principle of praise for blazing the way applies in business circles and has Its local applications. For instance, in the matter of hand ling Real Estate, there 'have been many men m ho have tried It In this and neighboring states. But it is very probable that no one else has done quite so, much to stimulate ac tivity . in Real Estate circles as J; Edgar Poag, whose very liberal use of printers' Ink i the seven years he has been in business, has done no little towards making the Real Estate business the grqat thing It is to-day. It has not only bejrt the means of his putting through many very im portant deals, but it has caused many to embark in the Real Estate busi ness. The more men that have en gaged In it. the more tradinfi the more values have increased. All in all, it has been a great blessing to this section that some one has blazed the way by opening the eyes of the people to the great possibilities that are all around them In Real Estate. So Poag is a kmd of . Real EBtate pioneer, one whose name Is perhaps more widely known than that of any man handling dirt In the Carolines, simply becauHe he has made blp hits that count and have caused the peo ple to open their eyes to their op portunltles.
