Detroit News: Fate and Hope were
playing at marbles.
Fate had been winning steadily for
more than 5000 years, but when she
looked up from the game she noticed
that her stock Of agates and ally-tors
had not visibly increased, while Hopes
losses did not appear to have reduced
the pile by her side.
See here. Hope" said Fate, with some
show of temper, "how's this? You've
been losing all the time, but you seem 10

Theater Rules I'm Vienna.

New York Evening Post; There is
a nuisance against which patrons Of
public entertainments are beginning
10 revolt. Vienna Is setting an exam
pie which might be followed elsewhere
with advantage. Late comer are TO
be treated with scaut courtesy hereaf-
ter at the opera in that city. BY a new
rule Of the intendant, no M is to be
permitted TO take his seat while the
overture Is being played, and in the
case of Wagner's operas, where there
is no break between the overture and
the first act, late corners cannot get
into their seats until after the first act
is over. In the case Of the "Gotterdam-
merung," where the first act lasts
nearly an hour and a half. that must
be rather awkward. But the rule Is
an admirable one, strictly in accord
ance with the etiquet Of good br ed
ing. There Is no reason why several
thousand spectators should have thei'
attention distracted for several min
utes from an art BY the antics Of per
sons who, through illbre' ng OF care
l~esseness, choose TO come late. ; me-
times, of course a man may be late by
accident. but in that case L is better
surely that he should suffer for II
than all the rest of the aud ence. II Is
needless TO add that at the Vienna OPP
era no woman is allowed 70 show her
lack Of breeding and her extreme sell
fshness by keeping on a big hat. The
machinery Of legislatures is not need
ed there 10 make laws forcing women
to behave like ladies.

Drinkers Under the Fan.

A significant indication of the int toler-
ance employers are now evidencng to
drunken employees is shown in the head
lines of an advertisement for the care of
inebriates: NO drunkards need apply"
The advertisement then goes on to state
that the institution will cure such as .'find
the door of employment closed against
them" as drunkards. Even army officers
now find themselves debarred from promo
tIon by drunkenness. 1t was once an al
most accepted belief that every railroad
employe was drinking man. but it Is not
now so. He can not hold his place on many
railroads and be seen in a saloon. Nav ii
indeed become Il bar to position, to decent
society, and to any place of responsibility
or confidence to be known as a drinking
man. The man who drinks is Il menace to
society and to public safety as we'll as to
nlmself. 1t Is no longer question of per-
sonal right. 1t is question of public wei
fare. Mr.. Depew, in an address at the an
niversary of the New York Railroad Asso-
citation, said
The railroads twenty-five years ago were
not we'll organized; then there were Is. 600
men In our service. and now there 80, 900. It
is fact that twenty-five years ago twenty
per cent. of the force was discharged with
in given time for drunkenness. In those
days the saloon was always very much in
evidence along our lines and at our termi-
nails. Now not one per cent. of our men
disappear from drunkenness and the force
is twice as large as it was in the old days.
We have higher grade of men, men with
greater force of character, and this has
been brought about in large measure by
organizations Of this kind.-Men.
