Bound for Boston the other evening
by steamer my attention was called
by myself-to young couple who oc-
cupied the after part of the boat-the
narrow deserted place abaft the saloon

little glass doors. Both of them were
alone, except that they were with each
other, nor did they have knowledge that
was near at hand, concealed in a
shadow of my own casting.
You are cold,' heard him whisper;
"Cold and weary. Sit UP closer to me.
Lean on me. And then it seemed as
though he saw for the first time an OPP

little convulsive gurgle he added: Lean

me- let me first, for brief season, lean

" increases in volume until 1t reaches
grand halleluiah of alteration. This
scene is one of intense grandeur and
church dignities who have witnessed 1t
have had nothing but praise to say Of
1t.
The journey of the Wise Men to the
birthplace of Christ is given, also q
vivid representation of the Holy Fam
lily. The sermon on the mount is an
other striking feature of the play, in
Guiding as it does the feeding Of the
5000 people and the rising up to life
of the youth at Main.
In the sermon scene the Savior is
shown standing in the shade of great
tree as He breaches to the people His
doctrines. There is a wonderful dra-
matte art in this scene, as the crowds
are slowly worked up to i wild pitch
of enthusiasm for the Master and His
teachings, and in this spirit they lead
Him to Jerusalem.
There is a vast contrast between the
first and second parts of the play. The
former portrays all the g,o1ies and vie
tories Of Christ, While the latter deals
with His sorrows and death.

The Roosevelt cocktail can hardly be
called a mixed drink; it is rather of the
genus shandy gaff. It consists of hall
glass of lager beer, into which is put
an equal quantity of plain soda. This
makes a much more cooling and thirst.
