The Alcazar's Leading Man
Declines to Create a

He Disconoerts the Excitable

Francis Carlyle the leading man, fatty

Thall. He won't ee. excited. He just
declares he won't play he part, not even
if he were to be offered $1,000 a week. 1t
is too old for him, he maintains, and not
al all suited to his talents. Want to know
my version of the affair? I1s conceit-
conceit pure and simp pie. Our handsome
leading man fears he would not look his
best as grizzied general in Turkish fez."
Then the ''manag ment" shifted his
position, and with pit:ful accent and tear
full eyes concluded: Don't talk to me of

With unrutfied mein the actor discusses
his part in the story. MY contract calls

me. My salary will of course, go on,
without any interruption, but TO receive
salary without labor performed hurts my
standing as an actor and offends my

Sunday in the San Francisco papers that
the passenger train on the Sierra Railroad
was held up by man with shotgun is
incorrect. There was no shotgun. The
only thing was that there was a tie placed

Don't Give Up.

Sorrow came TO you yesterday and
emptied your home. Your first impulse
now is to give up and sit down in de-
spair amid the wrecks of your hopes.
But you dare not do it. You are in the
line of battle, and the crisis is at hand.
To falter "A moment would be to imperil
some holy interest. Other lives would
be harmed by your causing. Holy inter-
ests would suffer should your hands be
folded. You must not linger even to in
dulge your grief. Sorrows are but Incl
dents in life and must not interrupt us.
We must leave them behind, while we
press on TO the things that are before.
Then God has so ordered, too, that in
pressing on in duty we shall find the
truest, richest comfort for ourselves.
Sitting down to brood over our sorrows,
the darkness deepens about us and creeps
into our heart, and our strength changes
to weakness. But, if we turn away
from the gloom and take up the tasks
and duties to which God calls us, the
light will come again, and we shall
grow stronger.
When all our hopes are gone.
Tis well our hands must still keep toiling on
For others sake.
For strength to bear is found in duty done,
And he Is blest indeed who learns TO moks
The Joy Of others cure his own heartache.
