THE CROSSROADS OF LIFE.

Better a life OF poverty and rags.
sa tins with an empty heart" cried the
sweet young heroine OF "The Cross
Roads OF Life" at the Star Theatre, and
the gallery applahded. The man she
loved was Dick Hawthorne. Captain of
Life-Saving station No Z. stout and
rather elderly hero, but one who knew
how to wear evening clothes, and to
stand in the centre of the stage. Oh!
she vas fond, foolish birdie, that
heroine, the only thing against her
being that she was old enough to know
better. The villain adored her, and told
the story OF THE Cross-Roads" to his
accomplice, Giovanni De Voto, AS fol-
lows: II love Ethel Stratton; Ethel
Stratton loves Dick Hawthorne; must
therefore remove the obstacle"
That gives you your play, such rs 1t
Is The villain tries to overthrow a very
cardboardy looking train, that wouldn't
injure n baby, and is foiled by the
human rope: he attempts to wreck an
ocean steamer, but can't, and he does
all sorts of thing until the last act
when the stout, elderly hero wins the
heroine. who wanted poverty and rags.
In the play is a soubrette who stands
on Park avenue and tries to do a skirt
dance, attired In a silk and velvet gown
that would cause her instant arrest in
real life; a bootblack who makes Jokes.
and who Is quite at home In the recep-
ton room of New York clubhouse; a
tramp modelled closely after Walter
Jones, who sings songs and Is ever pres
ent, and other stereotyped people, who
all hate the villain. The soubrette, how
ever, Is the most absurd figure among
them all. l could even have forgiven
her for the Park avenue dance IL she
had known how to dance.

cacy Of a protective tariff to maintain the stand
ard OF wages that has made this the great and
glorious country 1t Is" 1t never seems to have
dawned on his mind that the workman whom he

must necessarily pay greatly enhanced price on
all he buys. whether he benefits otherwise by the
tariff not. But will J. II. c. explain how the
tariff maintains wages? We see everywhere work
men unemployed and wages falling. and because
those enforced ders are willing to work for a
mere living rather than starve and the bosses
know It, wages are cut accordingly to the lowest
notch. How the tsrin possibly operate to
raise or maintain wages In such a case? / will
ell J. II. c. what free trade would do: II would

are thrown out OF employment and the consumer

For Baby's Good Health.

Keep the baby's bib dry If you have

him not scrap of meat before his

kisses of his friends. Keep the sun out

with germs, dust and dirt, elements
that are not good for human lungs.
