You did g~loriously! saw you do=ld at

farm house, mending those children
clothes. 1 heard what you said in the
way of cheer when the breadwiuner of
the household was in despair. 1 re-
member all the sick cradles you have
sung to. I remember the backaches,
the headaches, the heartaches. L know

enjoin upon others that which / de-

as the world e a " | attest before

felt the e~levating and restraining in
~fiuence OF having had a good father and
n good mother, and if l am able to do
half as well for my children as the old
folks did for me 1 will be thankful for
ever. The years of my life passed

TALENTS OF The JEW.

Some n has been at tho pains re-
Gently to make III analysis of the char.
acteristics of more than $4,000 prolni-
aeEt men of modern time. with special
reference to the jewish race. The re.

pose, even under the most adverse con-
dltions.
Although Moses, the greatest of law-
givers, and Joshua, one of the most
brilliant and successful generals, were
OF the Jewish race, in modern times the
Jews are less distinguished than men
of other creeds generally as statesmen
and soldiers. They have no distinc-
ton whatever as a~griculturists, en-
gravers, sailors and explorers.

has been accomplished in the capacity

thought and endeavor they have con-

Astronomical science has no brighter

Wagner'S operas are more difficult to
stage than those of any other composer.
In painting scenery for a Wagner work
the artist must exercise his magma
ton as we'll as his hands. The only
basis for the scenery of the Ring DIES
Ntbelungen" is the libretto. The inte-
rior of Hunding's dwelling in the first
act of die Walkuere" must be as dra-
matically significant as the gestures of
the artists. Such a scene, withits stern
outline and somber coloring, is a far
greater triumph of scenic art than the
glittering magnificence of Solomon's tenn
pie in the Queen of Sheba." And 1t is
as true of the property masters work
as of the scenic artists.
Indeed, the mechanical properties
used in Wagners works are constant
objects of study, attempts to improve
them by simplifying the apparatus for
working them being made from time to
time. The "Lohengrin" swan is an ex-
cellent example of this feature of Wag-
merriam production. Though many years
have passed since "Lohengrin" was per-
formed for the first time. the device for

OIL IN SUMATRA
A Competitor Of the United Stntes In the
Oriental Market

The island of Sumatra may within
the next five years supplant the United
States as Japan's source OF supply OF
kerosene, says the San Francisco Call OF
Monday.
What that means to this country can
be inferred from the fact that last year
Japan, according to the United states
minister in Toxic. who returned to this
city yesterday from Washington, i'm
ported about 100000 gallons or oil
from America.
Dr. Muir. who was for many years an
oil refner at Titusville, arrived at the
Occidental yesterday with his family.
A little over four years ago he estab-
lished an oil refinery for big Dutch
company on the then recently discover
ed oil fields far in the interior OF Sumat-
ra. Since that time he has been con-
stantly employed managing the refinery
and perfecting the plant.
He returned to America few weeks
ago to get his family and Is now on his
way back to Sumatra, where he has or
ders to begin the construction Of two
more refineries, SO extensive is the bust
ness becoming.

murie, Like. Getting Lost In the Park

For the past three months regular
holiday diversion of Master Joseph Wis
hart, years old, has been to escort his
sister Muriel, 3h, to Central park, there
to desert her as soon as possible. At
about going home time, after day of
selfish amusement untrammeled by
brotherly cares, he would saunter nom
chalently into the arsenal police station
and ask for his sister. After reprimand-
ing her mildly for not keeping closer to
him he escorted her home. This hap
pened five or six times, until the police
became familiar with Joseph's little
game, and until Muriel grew to have
very natural affection for the sparrow
cops. At little after noon Sunday, Mu-
riel walked into the station and went
into the matrons room without asking
any questions. She came out immedi-
ately closely hugging the "policeman's
doll,' for which she has always had
great admiration. Sergeant McGlynn
heard her trot up to the desk, although
he couldn't see her.
Hello, baby" he called out; 'lost?'
