Sutton Vane's realistic melodramn,
The Span OF Life" will be given at the
Academy Of Music Wednesday, Septem-
Der 25.
THE Span of Life" is the authors
first play to be presented outside of his
native land. The story is said to be
intensely English, the characters alto
gether racy of the soil and sufficiently
varied to give interest," to the play 1t
is construct ted on melodramatic lines.
The author wisely retains his principal
scene until the fourth act, reserving
the fifth set for the inevitable Fighting
OF all the wrongs that have cnarac
terized the preceding act. This strong
principal scene is said to be the pre-
dominating feature which made 1.-THE
Span OF Life" so potent 3 magnet for
the theatre going public, who admire
sensational dramas. 1t transpires that
the heroine and her infant child are
pursued by the villain and his willing
tools. She is accompanied by three
brothers, retired acrobats. Ths scene
is.in.the,wilds of Africa. They come upon
chasm which can be bridged. in no
possible way in time to permit of
escape. In this dilemma the acrobats
make good use of their former ocation,
and pi)ing themselves one above the
other, they fall and construct human
span, over which the heroine, with baby
in arms, walks securely to the safe side
OF the chasm. The adaptation of this
sensation for dramatic purposes was
seized upon by Mr.. Vane, and critics do
him the honor to say that he has con-
structed g remarkably we'll told drs
matte story.

Let Home Stand First.

"Let home stand first before all other
things. No matter how high your am
bition may transcend its duties, no
matter how far your talents or your
influence may reach beyond it's doors.
before everything else build up true
home. Be not its slave; be not it's
minister. Let it not be enough that it
is swept and garnshed, that its silver
is brilliant, that it's TODD is delicious,
but feed the love in it, feed the truth in
it. feed thought and aspiration. feed all
charity and gentleness in it. Then
from its walls shall come forth the true
woman and the true man. who shall to-
gether rule and bless the land" Is
this an over-wrought picture? We
think not. What honor can be greater
than to found such home? What DIG.
nifty higher than to reign its undishon-
ored mistress? What is the ability tc
speak from public platform to large,
intelligent audiences, or the wisdom
that may command seat on the
judges bench, compared to that which
can insure and preside over n true
home. that husband and children rise
and call her blessed?" To be the guild.
ing star, the ruling spirit in such a po-
siton is h CHER honor than to rule an

Honesty in Selling.

Where customers are in doubt or are
not good Judges of the quality of an ar
ticle their decisions are largely deter
mined by the price. We venture to say
that the majority of the customers of a
dry goods dealer rely altogether on the
opinions of the statesmen, and for this
very reason the Importance of having
clerks who are honest in selling goods
can not be ovGrestimated. Do not have
tricky clerks. They will bring their
own punishment sooner or later in 10 IS
of trade. Ii a store gets the reputa-
ton of being place where the tricks
of trade are reSorted to the evil name
will stick to it with more tenacitv than
q porous plaster to the back of fat
man. Deceive one customer and it
may be the means of doing away with a
dozen.
Once in IA while customer will ask
to see an article, and on asking the
price may say that it is not good
enough, although it may be the best
quality in town. If the customer is not
a Judge of quality, but depends on the
price, the clerk is tempted to bring
down another box of the same goods
and put on price to satisfy the buver.
Now this is dishonest, and although 1T
may not injure or cause the ruin oil
that store. it is the beginning of spe-
cies of trickery that sooner or later
W II spread in other directions. An
old merchant of large experience makes
the statement that in all his mercan-
tile experience he never knew II mer-
chant to succeed who was dishonest.
When II merchant begins Il dishonest
act, or allows his clerk to commence
one without rebuke. he is on the road
to ultimate failure. One swallow does
not make spring, nor one dishone s.
act make dishonest man. but it is ;
door through which other bad acts cal
swoop him. Northwestern Trade.

Changed for the Worse.

Three young girls of about 16, whose
gowns show quiet good taste. and
whose faces tell of pleasant tempers and
nimble minds, are in parlor together,
alone. One is reading aloud. Her
vo ce is sweet and unaffected. She
stops now and then, while the three
discuss the book or their work with
much joking and laughter.
They are clever, but tender and wom-
anly. They are totally unconscious of
themselves; their tones are low and
sincere; there can be no doubt you are
in the company of gentlewomen.
Suddenly, presto! all is changed. A
caller is announced. One of the young
ladies herself pinches in her lips, and
speaks in mincing monosv llables. An
other gurgles and giggles, bushes. and
losses her chin upward; she lisps her
answers with IN absurd sweetness of
vo.ce and glance.
The third suddenly becomes a very
swash- buckler of a young woman.
Hitherto she has spoken English; now
she falls into an unknown dialect
How is your mother, Jenny?" she
is asked by the visitor.
'Oh. tOp!'
Il heard your brother had gone to
New York;"
ooh, that was fake. He was badly
punished at football. and is lying low
to fetch up"
You seem to know all that's going
on"
20 yes; I'm fly"
One of her companions at this puts
on IN air of offended propriety and
shakes her head with stern reproba-
ton. The other giggles and drops her
head on her breast atfectedly.
What can have changed these simple,
pleasant girls into puppets? Can it be
the advent of Il single youth. ringed
and chained. and with faint down
upon his upper lip. to which is given
all the attention his little mind is eapa-
BILE of giving?
Is it possible that any men prefer
these simpering. prim, dash-away
styles in women which are sometimes
so exaggerated in silly girls that their
manner might befit slaves drawn up in
the market and trying to attract a
BUYER?
So forced and unnatural is the con.
duet of some of our American girls,
when a possible sutton is present, that
nothing of their true selves is seer
through it. They might as we'll be
wrapped in an unbecoming headdress
and covering that make the public
dress of the oriental woman Youth!

gambling traps that beset the second
floor. do not know what sort of peo-
live on the top floor, but some people
pie live there anyhow, and in the COM
posite nature of the commerce that is
sheltered by this structure is very fairly
revealed the composite character of the
Denver community, and no one class
seems to give offence to the other. The
upper half of the windows of the nu-
merous gambling-shops are brilliant on
Sunday nights, and their tlaring bea.
cons are not mistaken by the folks who
want to risk their d mes and dollars on
the cast of die.
In tine mountain towns, too. gam
bling tlourishes as gayly on Sunday
night rs on the others. At Breckin-
ridge last Sunday evening the faro
table of the Denver hotel was crowded.
and there were lively poker games at
the other tables. The town constable,
who was look 'ng on at one game OF
draw. told me there was law against
gambling, but nobody paid any atten-
ton to it, and the town, which has on
lv about seven hundred inhabitants,
supports three gambling-houses all the
year round. and finds four games rath-
er few when court is in session.
At the Denver hotel YOU walk into
the office and registers then you pass
through wide opening into II saloon,
on the ground floor, and after you have
had your drink YOU can walk right into
the gambling room, also on the ground
floor, and the doorless entrance to
which is about twelve feet wide. The
faro table sits just opposite this en-
trance. You can see it from the dining
room, which is off the office, and the
tracks of blues and whites are attract
lively enough displayed to WOO any sort
of Il sport from the table of n square
meal. If the weather is any way OPP
pressive the doors along the sidewalk
can be thrown open, and then prone
naders on the only thoroughfare in
town can linger at the threshold and
learn the game.
The mines and mills and smelters are
