A Lesson

1t seems strange that a child's mind
should be infallibly attracted to the
naughty rather than to the nice. A
year or 30 ago I took Ethel and har.
old to see the play Of Little Lord
Fauntleroy." I rashiy fancied that the
example Of the little hero's gentieness
and goodness would have q ane effect
upon my littls relatives. The day af-
ter the performance / overheard Ethel
and Harold say "Bully for you," and
.Cheese 1t, Gully" with an alarming
sase and frequency. Where did you
hear such expressionsf' / cried, only to
receive the answer, why, at Little
Lord F~auntleroy.' Don't you rsnem-
berf Dick, the boothaack, talked nks

Bible from Which He Drew His In.
spiration to Murder Garfield.
A relic Of Charles J. Guiteau, thu
murderer Of President Garfield, is pre-
Ierved in this city with great care. It
Is nothing less than the assassin's Bible,
one which he used for years, and 1t
passed from his possession only a few
lays before he startled the whole world
by penetrating one Of the greatest
crimes of modern and ancient history.
A few days previous to his departure
for Washington he was a guest of the
Palmer House, Chicago, and after he
left a ~well-thumbed copy Of the New
Testament, st. James edition, was
found in the room he had, vacated. II
will be remembered that the murderer
claimed that his crime was the result
Of inspiration derived from the Bible,
consequently 1t was the testament In
question that is responsible for the
lamented Presidents ~deplorable death.
Manager Frank Brobst Of the Hollen-
den was a clerk In the Palmer House
when the volume was found and has
kept possession Of 1t since.

inches long and eight inches wide. The

ADJUSTMENTS. A
IS u l 81

Two one-act plays were presented last
night at Creighton hall, for the benefit of the
Associated Charities. with casts made up Of
local amateurs The artistic result was
an agreeable surprise even TO those VINO
thought they knew the height and depth
of home talent in Omaha. Ordinarily 1t is
the irksome duty of the commentator on
such events to record, at such length as
seems to him good, eycellences which he
knows do not exist, and merits which are
apparent to none but the performers and
their friends and relatives. In the present
instance any who may have CCme to SCof
mCst certainly remained 20 pray, for Cne
does not remember seeing such entirely
good amateur performances in Omaha i'm n
very long time. They were so good that
they deserve to be judged on their merits
as The work of professionals is judged, and
even placed on a level with professional
performers The participants need not feel
ashamed of their work last night
The clever little farce, per Telephone"
which has been seen here before, was given
first. with Mrs. Matheson, Mrs. Wheeler,
Miss Tukey, Mr. Cook and Mr.. Herring in
the cast. Mrs Matheson and Mrs Wheeler
are established favorites, and each added
TO her reputation by a clever and artistic
performance on this occasion. 1t is always
a pleasure to see Mrs. Matheson upon the
stage, by reason of the sincerity and vigor
with which she invariably GCquits herself
Certain mannerisms are more persistent
with her than her friends could wish chief
among them being her affected nasal in
tonation. which, with a marked western
habit of rolling the final +, has a tendency
to mar her otherwise delightful work. She
has a genuine and generous gift of comedy,
and a broad, free method, which. restrained
by the intelligence which she possesses in
marked degree, and relieved of the un-
toward growths noted above, will yield her
q more discriminating. if not a wider. popu-
larity than that which she now enjoys.
Mrs. Wheeler also has that western man
ner of speech which sounds so strangely
in The mouth of polite society on the stage.
Her achievements in the past have been
uniformly commended, and she has done
nothing better in its way than the May
Holcome of last night. Miss Turkey made a
decided hit as the Irish servant girl Mr..
Cook was a self-possessed Guy Harling,
and Mr.. Herring was admirably natural as
Ned.
