What the Bishop Thought.

Sometimes profanity is prOfane, and
then there are deliverances of that sort
that do not sound profane. 1t depends
a good deal upon the lips whence the
words flow. Not long ago a bishop Of
the Episcopal church from northern
state-a cleric with a well developed
sense of humOr-made a flying visit to
Washington, stopping at the home here
of gentleman who used to be one of
his parishioners. This gentleman is adj
dicted to sulphuric speech He has
prayerfully resisted for many years his
natural impulse to wither up the air
upon the slightest occasion. but cuss he
will, and he can't help it. One day.
while the bishop was at his house, the
most found that something had gene
wrong in his stable, and he let ont on
the coachman in his customary lurid
style. After he had singed the atmOs-
phere in the neighborhood of the stable
for five minutes he started back fer the
house, and he was somewhat chagrined
to see the bishop standing in the yard,
looking at sCme flower beds. The gen
tleman knew that the bishop had heard
him.

America In Old World Ewes

Last year, says the Chicago
Times Herald 1.-the United States oc-
cupied only A pages of the space in the
worlds great annual. The Statesman s
Year Book, and these followed Turkey
in the alphabetical arrangement of its
contents. This year 2S2 pages and four
maps are devoted to what amounts to a
comprehensive register and review of
our government, politics, commerce,
industry, social condition, resources
and progress. And as if to emphasize
the new departure the new data pre-.
cede all the rest and have a special in.
dex of their own. Such is the revolu.
tion wrought in the old world attention
to American affairs by the remarkable
year of stress and expansion through
which we have just passed. 4"

If one were to choose between the
two daughters of Jay Gould-Miss
Helen, the elder or the Countess Cas-
tellane, the younger-there is no
doubt of the choice. The one has
proven herself a noble hearted young
woman, giving of her substance and
her time and personal services to the
cause of her country. The other led a
crowd of titled persons around the pad
dock of a race course on a Sunday,
shouting insults to the president of
the French republic and making a
most unseemly exhibition of her.
self. One is the true-hearted Ameri-
can, the other is poor imitation of a
foreigner, whose American blood has
become tainted and whose money alone
has bought her a place which she
seemed to covet.

m THE LIBRARY.
The fire Is dim, the light is low,

The fire Is dim, the light is low,
And silent i'll my easy chair
sit and dream, and fancies flow
About me i'll the dariling air.
The walls with books are covered we'll;
Quite TO the ceiling high they rise,
And i'll the darkness l can tell
Where each beloved volume lies.
Blu now they seem to live and move,
And faces from their bindings stare,
And all the authors that / love
And their creations fill the air.
They never speak; their eager eyes
Look for companions never found,
As each into the darkness dies
In turn and makes no sound.
And groups float by, but never gaze
Upon each other; all intent
On unknown errand go their ways
Or stand in mute Dewilderment.
What are ye-real or feigncd thingsP
And will We live some grander life,
When we who breathe have lost our wings
And fallen, silent, in the strife?
And who are greatest-those who found
A city grand palace high
Or those who till the spirit ground
OF fancy that can never die?
For men may live and do and dare,
Yet fade away, by all forgot,
But these creations, foul and fair,
Live on and perish not.

Marc the magician, whose personality is
much more suggestive Of prosperous young

his Satanic majesty" as one Of his admirers
has styled him, had a curious experience on q
train in Nebraska one day this fall. A nice
looking old lady sat in one Of the seats Of a
day coach with basket Of eggs beside her.
In passing through the car Marc saw a
chance for little harmless fun. Lifting his
hat to her he asked II the eggs were for sale,
and il she would sell him a single one. She
declined to sell. but said she would give him
one. He thanked her took the egg and
placing it TO his ear said he thought he heard
something inside She declared that i'm
possible as the eggs we're strictly fresh
Marc tapped the shell with the end of his
pocket knife and as it cracked open a perky
young canary ruilled its feathers and gave a
cheerful peep of freedom. And with the
bulging eyes Of the startled passenger fixed
upon him he tossed the tiny creature into the
air where it completely vanished. Then,
turning to a long-bearded man, who had
been an open.mouthed spectator of the in.
cident, he deity extracted an egg from his
luxuriant whiskers and passed II back to the
old lady. She refused to touch it, however,
and squeezed up against the window TO get as
far away as possible from the uncanny man.
II was an hour before she was able to ap-
preciate that the whole affair was only a
clever bit Of necromancy.

Suly is the best Irsh-American comedian on
the stage to-day, and his humor is of the
wholesome, pleasing sort, far different from
the prevailing idea of Irish fun in the usual
run of Irish plays of the day. The play car
ries a good plot, thread of love running
through it, and contains several thrilling sit
uatiOns. There is a strike and some realistic
explosions. and the rescue of little tot by

Airline. She is only years of age, but plays
her part very steadily and with the dignity
of an experienced actress. The greater part
of the comedy is furnished by Mr.. Sully him
self and the remainder by Geo. Rareshide as
a German baron on the lookout for an Amer
lean heiress. The entire company is very clever
and includes quartette of singers of more
than usual ability. The play is a sterling
drama, giving good idea of labor situations
in this country, and it is deserving of large
audience tomorrow evening.

the Present Business Activity.
To the casual observer it is plainly seen
that the merchants who ad ertse regularly
and Systematically in a reputable newspaper
with large circulation, are the ones who
share the largest in the present activity OF
business.
II is an incontrovertible fact that news
paper advertising we'll done is the most ef-
fective and inexpensive power in the mer-
camille world. Our shrewd, up-to-date busi-

and appreciate that Shenandoah is a fertile
field, and the HERALD compensating
medium for advertising. In this community,
where the competition for business is always
active and aggressive, the business man who
hopes for success without advertising, is like
a primitive warrior who drifted into the
battle line in the Philippines, armed with a
bow and arrow, to cope with Gatling guns.
The HERALD, with its increased circula-
tion, offers exceptional opportunities to the
