| sequence crowd the theatre upon whose
stage character new to the drama is
being developed. Such condition of
affairs obtained last night at the Farnam
Street theater when sole Oleson, y, tsiust
from Oklahoma" applied for a "yob''
and before the final curtain terminated
the play, had secured not only position
but place in the world, due to native
shrewdness and through adaptability for
whatever was required of him.
No field is more fertile for the play
wright than the developing of the Scan
dinavian character, and when Gus Heege
last season gave to the stage play the
central figure of which was Swede, the
press and public recognized that a new
parsonage had been added to the count
less types of people who inhabit stage
land. Crowded houses everywhere
payed tribute to the author and actor,
who in season jumped from obscurity
into popularity because he had gone out
of the heated track for his story and had
drawn inspiration from a sturdy, indus
trious nation whose representatives are
found exciting no little influence upon
this side the water.
Last evening one of the largest houses
ever seen in the old Boyd theater enjoy
ed to the utmost the complications which
surrounded a Swede, whose name, was
Ole Olson, would have probably been
answered by hundred other Oles in the
house had some one called it out
Omaha Bee.
This great company will be seen al
the Post T'heater, Wednesday evening.

Our Body.

Our body is the curious house in which we
live. We may see it, feel it, weigh it, move
it, notice what it does, and in many WAYS
learn how it is made.
This is our body. We must take proper
care of it that 1t may be well. We must use
it rightly 10 make it strong. We should
keep it neat and clean. If we iniure it, we
shall suffer pain. If we destroy it, we shall
die.
Men have often taken bodies like ours to
pieces and have separated all the curious
parts from one another.
Every portion is intended for use, and all
the parts work together with perfect smooth
ness 1t is more wonderful than watch or
an engine for the body is living thing in
which our mind or soul dwells.
We should wish 10 be well, for then we
can 60 about our work or play with lighter
heart. We may spend our time in the open
air and in the pleasant sunlight.
When we are well we can do our work and
also be of service to others. Good health will
cheer us every hour, and will tighten every
load for us.
We should wish to avoid sickness. Often
when we are ill, we are helpless. Often
friends must wait upon us. We may not be
able to lift our head from the pillow and we
must be restless in bed for days and weeks.
Sickness makes the stoutest heart grow faint,
the strongest arm become weak, and the fair
est day seem cloudy.
We need to learn the lessons of good health
while we are young, and by needing them,
we may hope to become strong and healthy
men and women.

Life After Forty.

The best half of life is in front of the man

rush at work like blind bull at haystack;
but advances with the calm and order of con.
scious power and deliberate determination.

both in themselves and as parts of beauti-
full and intelligent whole. Such thing as

before him in wider expapses and more com.

knowledge and increasing power makes every
year of his life happier and more hopeful than

One Less at Home.
One less at home!
The charmed circle broken; a dear face
But, cleansed and saved and perfected by grace,
One more in heaven!
One less at home!
One voice of welcome hushed, and evermore
One farewell word unspoken; on the shore
where parting comes not, one soul landed more,
One more In heaven!
One less at home!
A sense OF loss that meets us at the gate;
Within, place untitled and desOlate;
And far away. our coming to await
One more in heaven!
One less at home!
Chill as the earth-born mist the thought would rise
And wrap our footsteps round and dim our eyes;
But the bright sunbeam darteth from the skies
One more in heaven!
One more at home!
This Is not home. where. cramped in earthly mold
Our sight of Christ is dim, our love is cold;
But there, where face to face we shall behold
Is home and heaven.
One less on earthl
Its pain, Its sorrow and its toll to Share
One less the pilgrims daily cross to bear;
One more the crown OF ransomed soul to wear,
home in heaven.
One more in heaven!
Another thought to brighten cloudy days.
Another theme for thankfulneSS and praise,
Another link on high our souls to raise
To home and heaven!
One more at home
That home where separation cannot be.

Filial Affection Among Hebrews.

There is nothing In the world of pleasure
and recreation to compare with the beautiful
devotion that is paid the old Hebrew people
by their children and grand children at the
various summer resorts. A rude remark ia
never made in their hearing, nor disrespect-
full word uttered to aged mother or father.
The gentle yielding of easy chairs, the offer
ing ofchoice things to eat and drink, the last
consideration of self where there is drive or
a sail for limited number, and the graceful
ticipationofcreatur comforts are attributes
of the children to which the filial respect
of the Christian is not approachable.

Where the Watch Face Got It's 4 Is.

Do you know why four "I's" are used to
mark the hour on clocks and watches instead
OF the usual combination of Roman numerals,
which, if rightly arranged, would be w, in
stead of HIP There is a tradition among
watch and clock makers to the effect that
prior to the year 1870 all clocks and watches
were made with ~, the proper characters to
mark the hour of four. In the above named
year clock was made on an elaborate Seal
for Charles V, of France, surnamed the Wise,
who had the reputation of being not only
crank, but of being the greatest fault-fnder
in the world. The clock was beauty and
fine limekeeper, but Charles had to find fault
in order to keep up his reputation. He ex-
amined it critically and finally broke out
in storm of rage because the hour four had
been marked "IV," insisting that four His
should be put on instead. This was done,
and 10 order to perpetuate Kings mistake,

years,

A Lake Of Pitch.

of Trinidad, West Indies, sis a pitch lake"
It's at La Brea. 1t covers about ninety acres,
and is soft enough to take the impression of
your shoes as you walk over it, hut take up
bit of it and strike it sharply and it breaks
off with conchodal fracture like lump of
anthracite. I don't know where it comes
from, but do know that it's most awfully
hot there. The sun pelts down like fun. and
the black pitch absorbs all the heat. Ali down
to the coast and under the sea and across In
Venezuela there is streak of this same for

lake, and monopoly pays royalty of not
less than $4,000 year.

The Difference in Coffee.

It has been noticed by nearly every one
that for every two men who say coffee keeps
them awake of nights there is one man who
drinks 1t late at night, and takes it to allay
nervousness and headaches. This Is due, says
the New York San, to difference, not In
the men, but in the coffee. In most eating
houses and boarding. houses chicory is added
to coffee to give it rich color. 1t is this
chicory that destroys mems nerves. The
average "black coffee" even in stylish restau-
rants, is usually made of the German prepar-
ed "kaffee essenz," which is all chicory. Pure
coffee does not look so black and rich, but it
leaves the nerves alone, after all.
