(From San Francisco Examiner.)
In the whole history of the stage
there is no record of more rapid rise
To fame and fortune than in the story
CT the short career of Marguerite Cor

at the Orpheum this week. Four years
ago she was n of a bevy of girls In
a boarding school in the south OF

years of age. She is today acknowl-

Has Performed a Great Task Quietly

Has Performed a Great Task Quietly
and Gradually.
The task Of the minister of war mas
probably been the greatest eVer lm-
posed upon a French statesman, says
the New York Times. He had Two
objects in view, seeming Impossible
to attain together. He must conclll-
ate. He must enforce republican prln-
ciples. He made no public announce
ment of his program. He issued no
manifesto of his policy. He accepted
the republic and her institutions as
s~eIf-evident facts. His work was to be
performed by actions, not Woros'
With perfect dignity he transferred OIL
fcers OF high rank whose conuuc'
showed they were not in sympathy
with the actual republic. He elevated
officers whom he knew the people
could trust. BY a series of actions OF
great tact he made the army learn the
lesson. never before taught 1t, that IL
was the servant, not the master OF
the people. He performed the work
unmindful alike of the reproaches OF
his sometime royalist friends and ol
the insults heapsd upon him by sucn
men as Rochefort and Drumont. Anu
SO quietly and gradually has his WORK
been done that it has not attracted the
attention of Partisan correspondents
who are evidently at a loss 10 accoun'

ence has convinced that his parents
prohibitions are o arbitrary, but are
founded ON kindness and justice, will
not often disregard them. Lapses there
may be. as no human beings are per-
feet. But the lapses will not be many,
and from the nature of the case they
will bring their own punishment, con-
vincing the offender, as nothing else
will do, that the path of obedience is
not only the safest, but the ~pleasantest
to walk in.

Before giving a command a mother

Matched all through the spring,
but few goose eggs can be obtained
after the last of May. AS Mr.. Almy
states, however, none of the farmers
"do as well as they know how."Opera
lions are placed on business basis
and not cent is put out for ornament.
Most of the farmers have small CAPT
tai and cannot afford the expense of
elaborate buildings. Even the cheap
buildings described are expensive
when the whole farm is fitted with
them, and when it is considered strict
ly necessary to keep down the cost.
About twenty acres are considered ne

man can take care of; from five hum
