Some Queer Things to De Seen In n
Chinese Theater.
Over the audience rests settled,
immoyable stiffness, unbroken even by
sigh. No expression referable to
sorrow, sympathy, JOY or tears llghtens
the blank, dead wall of the faces.
The Chlnaman is inpregnable. Only
once do his eyes change, and that is
while the property man is on the stage,
and he is never off 1t.
The Chinese property man sees his
duty to the management and puts it
into practical effect. No property"
shall escape him. He gathers all things
by the way. When the Chinese Romeo
slays Tybalt, the property man steps
on to the stage, gathers UP Tybalt's
sword, cap aud cloak and things and
walks off with them. He would enter
Macbeth's banquet hall while that
weak kneed monarch was exercising
Banquo's ghost, gather up the goblets
and plates In one arm and Macbeth's
chair with the other and carry them
away. He would pluck the roses from
Elaine's breast; he would take the
dagger from Juliet's dead hand; he
would interrupt Hamlet's soliloquy in
the churchyard with a request for
Yorick's skull. and he would interpose
in the murder Of Desdemona to remove
the pillows from her bed.-Saqui Smith

of the contents Of the flask over the

the wife. At intervals of perhaps a
week she would sally out with the
family tinpan, erstwhilo used for cook

would squat, throw a few gourdfuls
Of dirt into the pan. fill 1t with wa.

Of gold washing.
"She was very skillful and would
keep little sheet Of dirty water spray

Mock not the drtamers. Since the world began
They scanned the skco and grandly mapped for
man
The paths obscure. tic kark and devious ways,
whici, ed toward the light OF future days.
They were the prophets, Judges. priests and kings
Who rose above blind moles and meancr things
And, soaring grandly to the upper sky,
Beheld the promised Joys Of by and by.
Doggcd and dcrided by the men they warned.
BY ingratos stung, by pundts cursed and scorned.
To crusts and crumbs, TO rags and tatters doomed.
Scourgco as are outcasts by men who assumed
To speak for knowledge. urged BY fools in power,
These drcaincrs yet chose wisdom for their dover.
Grandy they wrote. though every ribald tongue
Dcriied songs by millions later sung;
They wrote truths story mid enyenomtd rage
Truth trimmed with glory by wiser age;
Their gems delivered, some martyrs died,
Slain by a world which quotes them now with
pride.
They pierced tho secrets OF the land and sea;
They toiled that those who scorned them might
be free.
With bleeding feet the ways Of wisdom trod
To mark new pathways toward good and God
They patient stroye behind cold prison bars
That freed souls later might climb to the stars.
Though javclins OF hate were at them hurled.
These men despised saviors OF the world
What unto them were wealth or greed OF gold?
More priceless was their lore n thousandfold.
Mock not the drenmers. these arc they who speed
Gods mightiest purposes with word and deed;
Yield them your trust, their message hear anC

The Average Man.

His face had the grimness Of granite,
1t was bleachcd and bronzed by the sun.
Like the coat on his poor, narrow shoulders,
And his hands showed the work he had done
His dim eyes were weary and patient.
And he smiled through his pallor and tan
A wistful. sad smile, as n saying:
"Im only an average man.
81 can't be a hero or poet
Nor dictator wearing crown;
I'm only the hardworking servant
OF those set above me. I'm down,
And it's no use complaining.
I'll get along the best way can,
And one OF these day'll come morning
And rest for the average man."
He wages all battles and wins them.
He builds all turrets that tower
Over walls Of the city to tell
OF the rulers and priests OF the hour.
Without him the general is helpless,
The earth but place and a plan;
He moves all and clothes all and feeds all,
This sad smiling average man.
Then lifted my hand In a promise,
With teeth set close and my breath
Held hard in my throat. and uttered
A vow that shall outlive death.
I swear that the builder no longer
To me shall be less than the plan;
Henceforth be guerdon and glory
And hope for the average man.
--Hamin Garland In Outlook.

CAN ye that labor. come to me-"
The Galilcan workman cried.
"Alone yo never can be free;
But, heavy laden though ye be,
The yoke seems nothing at my side.
'Tove one another. Do not stand
Forgetful OF each others woe.
Together seek the promised land;
Whate'or befall, clasp hand in hand
And hold no brother for foe.
"Together lay your treasure by
And not in boards Of foolish gold.
But rather pile your riches high
OF brother love that cannot die
And peace and mutual good untold.
"Behold the lilies OF the plain
And all the birds that skim the air;
They have no barns TO store the grain.
But. scorning ownership and gain.
They take their fll without care.
"And SO the day might pass for you
without single anxious thought
II each Of you were only true
To all the rest and stroye TO do
The nearest service as he ought.
''Then ever shining like the sun
On them that love and them that hate,
Forgiving, loving every one.

My kingdom that ye must create.
