Mrs, Elizabeth Inchbald.

Mrs. 1nchbald was probably pnid higher
for her work than any other woman of her
time Harris having given her 9600 for
one play. She held the responsible posi-
tion of dramatic editor of the London
Times for some years and was paid better
than any man who had previously held the
same Office. In 1908 she wrote short ar
ticle for the Edinburgh Review, for
which she received ESQ, and she states that
sit was only for five minutes work"
Elizabeth Inchbald, who was popular
and distinguished actress of her day as
well rs n clever writer was born in Suf-
folk, England, 1853. Mrs. Inchbald wrote
many clover farces but II was only after
much anxiety and many disappontments
that she succeeded In commanding the at
tention of managers. Colman was the
first to give her a hearing, and he produced
THE Mogul Tale; or, The Descent of the
Balloon" at the Haymarket, July 6, 1884,
for which he paid her 100 guinoas. After
her retirement from the stage which oc-
CURED in 1889, she wrote constantly for
the current magazines and also added
many successful plays to her list
Mrs Inchbald enjoyed the friendship of
Mrs. Siddons, John Philip Kemble, Fanny
kemble and many other persons of dis
tinction, and in her Memoirs" several
interesting stories are related of these once
famous people. Mrs. Inchbald is perhaps
best remembered by her book, "a Simple
Story, published in four volumes in 1891.
This work met with great and unexpected
success, the second edition being exhaust
ed soon after the appearance of the book.
She is also the author of 1.-THE British
Theater," work in 25 volumes, which is
a collection of plays produced at the prin-
cipal London theaters during a period of
years with biographical and critical re-
marks added. Mrs Inchbald died at Ken
sington House, London, in 1921, leaving
fortune of over 96, 000.--New Peterson

knowledge Is Power.

An illustration of the truth of this
proverb is found in Mr.. j. G.. Bert.
rams book, 1.-The Harvest of the
Sea-" 1t seems that a monopoly of
the extensive fisheries of Scotland
and England once came into the
hands of man who kept his agents
at the principal stations and requir-
cd them to furnish him all facts that
came to their knowledge.
At one of his stations in the far
north the fishing had been unsuccess-
full for the greater part of the season,
and there was no prospect of i'm
provement when he looked into the
matter. Upon examining his agents
letters from that place for some
years back he found by comparison
of dates that at certain place her
rings were likely to be found. He &C
cordingly instructed his agent to
send his boats to that spot.
The fishermen laughed at the idea
of mans sitting some hundreds of
miles away and telling them where
to get fish, but as his orders were
positive they had to obey, and the
consequence was that they returned
the next morning loaded with her
rings.

One of Depew's Speeches.

Chauncey M. Depew was one day
riding along in sleeper when the
train came to a stop at Cornell uni
versity. There was big crowd out
side, and the station platform was
lined with yelling college boys.
speech, speech, speechr they yell
ed. Chauncey smiled. He was used
to ovations, but this was more than
he expected He waited modestly
for few minutes for the cries to
subside The yells grew louder
Chauncey got up, put on his best
smile and buttoned up his coat. He
strobe out with all the dignity of a
great man. He did not know that
one of the faculty of Cornell was
going off on the train and was being
given a rousing sendoff by the col
lege.
'Depew appeared upon the plat
form, bowling and smiling in every
direction. Young men of Cornell
he began in his best voice, you do
me the distinguished honor A
cheer went up. Some of the boys
recognized him. They yelled louder
Depew continued his speech and
gained the attention of the crowd.
He thanked them profusely for their
reception, gave them some advice
and retired. Just at this juncture
the train drew out. The departing
college professor walked inside and
glared at Depew. He is now writing
a treatise on Nerve. San Fran

At Budapest.

Budapest has for me an tnvincible
attraction, and when ON the morrow--a
warm, bright day. was at last permit.
ted to install myself in the shade high
up on one Of the balconies Of the Hotel
Hungaria, overlooking the Danube, I
experienced one Of the most agreeable
sensations that recall Here the ampl,
breadth Of the stream diminishes the
force of the current, and the Danube
passes majestically under the two i'm
posing bridges, which hide its course
where it bends far below beyond the
town with the dimensions and the ap-
pearance of stream opening out into
the sea. In front frowns the ancient and
lofty fortress Of Buda, which formerly
held hungary abject and trembling IN
der its cannon, and the burg, formerly
imperial, where watched the implacable
eye of the conqueror Both fortress and
burg, however, are to disappear forever.
A new royal chateau is going up near
by, which will take the place Of the old
yellow barracks, which serve now as q
dwelling for the king of Hungary In
this capital, finally recovered from the
age long domination of Austria Below
the life Of the river is unceasing, and
the whole warm, brilliant, animated
picture is most enlivening Budapest
the very word names an idea which is
big with the future. 1t is synonymous
with restored liberty, unfolding now at
each forward step; it is the future open
ing up before growing people. Whole
districts of the capitb will one day be
rebuilt and reappear under fresh as
pect, and this immense meeting point
between the east and the west adds
daily to its power and its attractions -

An Accused Bridge.

Standing in the center of an open
field at Hoxne, near Eye, in Suffolk,
is an obelisk erected to the memory
of King Edmund, who met his death
there at the hands of the Danes in
$40. On the site of the monument
stood an oak tree, il the branches of
which the king sought refuge from
his foes. At nightfall he emerged
from his leafy hiding place and Sc
GREETED himself under bridge which
SPAWNED a stream called the Gold
brook.
A wedding party, however, pass
ing over the bridge in the evening,
observed the kings gold spur gilt
tering in the Moonlight, and in this
way his retreat became known to his
enemies. He was taken back to the
tree in which he had previously hid
den himself and shot with arrows,
and his body was afterward removed
to Bury st. Edmunds and inferred
in the monast cry there.
On Goldbrook bridge is inscribed
q record of the event Local tradi-
ton has it that many years ago the
existing inscription was followed by
the words, Cursed be the wedding
party that passes this bridge" No
part of this anathema is now visible,
but the tradition is so we'll known
that bridal party will take a cir
ouitous route rather than pass over
the bridge. Standard.

There's the river flowing gently from the upland to

There's the meadow full of clover, and the cattle

All is silent, all is peaceful all Is free from every

There's the vista through the woodland, with its

There's the twnkng star apeeping through the
deepening evening blue.
There's the vast unrestful ocean, meath fair un.

Her Dollar Shoes.

She bought them in the town one day,
My lady fair, my lady gay,
Those dollar shoes;
She showed them to us all with pride,
The stuff was coarse, the last too wide.
The place uneven where they tied,
Those dollar shoes.
But when she put them on her feet,
They looked so trim and fine and neat.
Those dollar shoes,
That Cinderella, coquette fair,
Might have been glad to change her pair
or glass ones for q chance to wear
Those dollar shoes.
So with all things my queen doth touch
They gain in grace and beauty much,
And coarseness lose;
That we who know her as earth's leaven
Are willing, though with steps uneven,
TO follow up the path to heaven
Those dollar shoes. Life
