Father will not be appeased, says
Prince Kropotkin in The Atlantic. He
calls in Makar, the piano tuner and
subhutler. and reminds him Of all his
recent sins He was drunk last week
and must have been drunk yesterday,
for he broke half IA dozen plates. In
fact, the breaking of these plates was
the real cause of all the disturbance.
Stepmother had reported the fact to ia

Uliana was received with more scold-

verification of the hay was undertaken

"this progeny of Ham" deserved all the

All of sudden there is lull in the

To Edmond Rostand:
"What strange and apt affinities to vex
Our souls do terms Of trades diverse disclose,
II Archer won the Derby by two necks,
Certes you've won the laurel by a nose."
George Seibel.
Richard Mansfield has been with ue
in Cyrano de Bergerac, the play Of the
end-of.the-century. A while ago the
world on this side of the water knew
very little Of the play; two years ago
few OF US had ever heard Nj. RostaLde
name. Today his name and play are on
every ones lips. He found his welcome
ready for him. The world had waited
long time for M. Rostand. 60 long that
many people declared that he would not
come at all, that the rhymed play was
thing Of the past, that poetry and the
stage we're forever divorced, and that
the romantic drama was dead in France
as elsewhere. 1t seemed for time as
though the shadow of Therese Raquin
would forever brood over the French
theatre, as though Dumas mepage a
trois would furnish themes for the plays
Of all time, and that in the woman with a
past lay tho future OF the drama. 1t
took but poet and play to change all
this. M. Rostand did more than write
a great acting play, he aroused dor.
mant sentiment, turned the tide Of popu.
lar taste, made the world some years
younger and little happier.
Certainly NJ. Rostand was most oppor.
tune in the day of bis coming. The
literature Of unbelief had fortified itself
behind the footlights, Its chieftape
bore down upon us from the south and
from the north: Dumas and lola in
France. Ibsen, Sudermann. Hauptman
and Maeterlinck in the north, and
Pinero in England. With what gloomy
company had they peopled the stage
with what consummate art had they
diagnosed the diseases OF the human
soul and laid bare the wounds of the
heart! When by any chance Romance
crept into any Of these grim dramas, il
was an imprisoned spirit. like the wild
ducks in lbsen's play, shut up in dark
garnet where the sun never shown and
the winds never blew, wounded and q
captive among the dry, dusty pine trees
and the stupid hens. II the note OF
poetry ever sounded at all, it was the
terrible music Of Hauptmann's supken
bell, sunk deep in the morass OF wretch
edness and crime and doubt. The stage
had become more forbidding than the
pulpit of the Reformation. 1t wac the
Iron Age OF the theatre. Then one fine
morning when the larks were 10 tune
over came this 10y rano" from France
with the invincible sword in his hand
and wonderful song on his lips and a
chivarous passion on his heart. But to
us his name was Romance, come back
from the fabulous fields after half cen
fury, and we turned to him with one &C.
cord and cried like Roxane that we
could love him ugly, dsfigured, gro
tesque,' that the whole tired world was
listening for that song, hungry for that
passion. Strange, too, that the noblest
ard purest aud most hopeful play OF the
century should come from France from
Paris. A very just rebuke to Anglo
Saxon bigotry. No wonder that Sar.
cey, after watching whole lifetime for
this play, wrote:
What Joy! At last we are going to

Thomas Edwin Smith, former
resident of Lincoln, has written book
entitled, Political Truth. The 194
pages are devided into twenty three
chapters and the chapters are COM
posed of epigramatic paragraphs con.
tanning much in little. Under the
heading "Politicians" Mr. Smith says,
among other things: Few political
schemers of ability, scheme for the
welfare Of the masses. Nothing, not
even conscience, will stand in the
path Of the experienced and ambitious
manipulation. The person having the
faculty to outwit the majority can
tiaunt defiance in the face of corporate
power. Most maDipulatOrs are as
blind to individual personality as JUS
tice Is supposed to be. However they
have keener eye to money. A politi.
cal idol invariably permits himself to
be spoiled. An expert wire puller's
support usually comes high, but it IS
worth any reasonable price. All pnb.
lie dictatOr's will soon or late be
known as dead uns,' and there is no
escape. Some people in politics have
become great through no fault of their
own. When a man in politics is the
most powerful he Is in the greatest
danger"
The shrewdness and truth of the
epigrams are apparent to the pOliti.
clan and TO those acquainted with the
politician and his ways.
Mr.. Smith collected the experiences
which he has crystallized in Political
Truth in Lincoln. To the practical
and the actual politician the book is
OF great value in supplementing and
confirming experience. AS com.
mentary on human nature it Is not
what may be termed stimulating and
encouraging. The chapters are headed,
AS To Politicians, Candidates, Office
Holders, Courts and Lawyers, The
People in Politics, Corporations in
Politics, Saloon Men in Politics,
Women in Politics, Police in Politics,
AS to Churches, Taxpayers, Newspa.
pers in Politics, In Relation to Labor,
Concerning Stump Speeches, Concern.
ing Conventions, Primaries, Party
Boilers, Assessors, Corporation Tools,
Appointive Officers, Concerning the
Lobby, and the Blessed in Politics.
1t is too late to call Mr.. Bryan's at.

OF you shall betray me, Then

Mr.. Bryan said: what the Lords
