when I can show that 1t ds possible for me to do something besides the Belle"
 To say that I have achieved this sue cess without struggle would not be true. No girl can come from small city like Syracuse and find an opening in the New York theatrical world without making a fight for the position. had to fight for it every step of the way, but now that l havc made a little success l am glad that I have had so much experience.
 Of course do not mind all gae talk that thero has been about my rise from the chorus but now that have risen I might as well set things right. As matter of fact, l have never been a member of 'ehe chorus in my life. I know that this spells much of the romance in my life, but it is, nevertheless, a cold, hard fact.
 When I first came to New York I could not get a chance to become a member of the chorus, and when had my first open- ing 1t was to take a small part in Hammer stein's Santa Marie" In that play I was programmed as Edna May Petite. When I met Mir. Lederer he said that he would be willing to give me a part dn the Belle" which he was then getting ready to pro- duce I said to hdm. No chorus, if you please" and he laughed.
 We'll in spite of this, sat among the chorus girls, and he told me that I should understudy my present part, as the actress who had been engaged to sing 1t would not appear until the latest rehcarsals. I never knew that he really meant me to sing 1t until the last moment. l had sung "The Lost Chord' for him, and he liked my voice. He told me so, but even then did not look for much start at the foot of the ladder. You may imagine my surprise when I was given my great chance.
 GOOD FORTUNE.
 If I should describe the various stages of my success in the United States and my greater success in London, it would ap- pear as if I was nothing more than bun de of egotism when nothing is further from my thought. Chance, good fortune, call 1t what you will, has been kind to me, and have nothing to complain of in re- been before the footlights a few years, and yet I could not live without them.
 As to my methods of work, there is little that I can say. They tell me that my vctce has improved and has increased in volume but if this is a fact it Is but an- other instance in which fate has been kind. I have taken no lessons in either singing or elccutton since I left New York, and I do not believe in what is called the Conserva- toire system
 My experience with it has been that in drilling by set rule certain results may be accomplished but the individual is always lost sight of. That ds what I have tried 10 impress upon my work-individuality. I try to put myself into my lines. to be the person that I am playing, and l believe that that is the best way-to succeed. l have always tried to do the best that is in me, to do justice to myself and to please the public, and if have succeeded that is the only secret of my success. Given my chances, any bright American girl who fol- lowed these rules could do the same thing. EDNA MAY.

the question. What Would Jesus Do?" That is the challenge every piece of news, every editorial every advertisement will have to meet
 The suggestion for this experiment took form in a question with which MT. Shel- don startled the great Christian Endeavor convention in Detroit last July. He asked
 "In this day when philanthropy munifi- gently endows our institutions of learning, Is there here man who, recognizing the potency of the public press to make or mar our civilization. will give $1 900 to estaS- fish Christian newspaper?"
 As to what MT Sheldon's Christian daily will give to its readers and what it will w.thho!d from them one is definitely in- formed. Mir. Sheldon himself says that he is busy working out the details of his jour nalistic plans, but that he Is not in a posi- ton to give specific information as to what they will be. He is in daily conference with the entire repotorial and telegraphic news staffs of the Capital In order that 1t may be trained to handle news as@ MT. Sheldon thinks it should be handled.
 Some light may possibly be thrown on this remarkable newspaper venture by the ex- perien~e of Edward Norman" editor of the Raymond Daily News.' it is nar- rated in a dramatic chapter of "In His Steps," The morning after Norman" had taken a pledge in good faith to do every thing after asking "What Would JesrG Dor" he is represented coming to his office and beginning his work. when Clark. the managing editor, fired this question at him:

FROM THE CHORUS
 TO PRIMA DONA
Edna Mays Struggle to Win Public Approval Crowned by
 Success in England.

Now that 1 am back in America I can truly say that I am glad to be at home. Of course, l love dear old London-how could I help it; 1t has been so dear to me. and I have met such nice people there; but still America is my home and l love 1t more than any country nave ever seen. I suppose that is but natural. One can appreciate kindness and public approval without being compelled to the adoption Of the country which it first came.
 Of course l do not mean to imply that I was failure in the United States. I was fortunate enough to make pretty good hit in New York, and I was delighted with my success, but when I arrived in England suddenly discovered that I had never known the meaning of pAe word. l had been praised in New York, but was idol ized in London. Everyone praised me. Real lords and ladies, the highest in society, treated me with the greatest consideration. They came to hear me every night, and they overwhelmed me with attentions. As the result, I saw English life al its best, and I can't help loving the land of my first real triumph.
 hope, however, that with all my success, the "swelled head" I know that I have done pretty we'll for little American girl who had practically no one to help her.

KILLINGS POEM.

Almost everybody within the last few
 weeks has read Kpling's latest poem, "The Absent-Minded Beggar," published in aid of the fund for the widows and orphans of the British soldiers in South Africa. It may not be generally known, however, that the poem up to date has made more
 money than any other poem in the same space of time.
 It Is said that Milton received only $500 for Paradise Lost" and on equally good authority that Hub Smith disposed of "The Little Green Peach" for s10. Harris, the author of After the Ball" Is credited with having cleared over $100,001 first and last on that famous waltz song, which first charmed and then afflicted the American | public for a couple of years. while Sousa has received big money for several of his marches, some with and some without
 words. But the latest advces from Eng land state that up to December 2, only about three weeks after its first publica- tion, '"The Absent-Minded Beggar' had cleared $117,745 for the widows, and orphans fund.
 This remarkable record is due to num- her of causes, says the New York Tele- graph. In the first place, Kipling, who Is one of the few literary men who combine large Business ability with artistic genius, sold the poem to the editor of the London Daily Mail for $1 250. Then the right to
 simultaneous publication was sold to nearly
 
 and to good many in this country for S25 ner paper and with this broadcast ad- vertiscment for a starter Kiplfng and
 Harms worth, the millionaire proprietor of the Mail, put their heads together and launched the boom for the fund In real earnest.
 Be it understood that all the proceeds of the poem go to the fund, so that there is
 nothing reprehenssble in Kipling and
 Harmsworth getting all out of it they canf1
 The first move was to get the poem up in
 artistic shape. The original manuscript ia
 Ktpling's Handwriting was reproduced fin an artistic folder with Collins famous DOT trait of KipEng on the outside, and cen
 ter page illustration by R. Caton Wood- vflle cue of England's greatest war artists, of "The Gentleman in Khaki" who is the hero of the poem.

 Clark gasped in astonishment. Finally he replied
 "No don't suppose he woud.'
 "Well, that is my only reason for shut ting this account out of the News. have decided not to do thing in connection with the paper for a whole year that I honestly believe Jesus would not do."
 Clark could not have looked more amazed if tine chief had suddenly gone crazy.
 In Sheldon's Christian daily will the prize fight. the horse race and every other sort of sporting event be comple tely ignored?
 What, too will be the policy of the new manager With reference to tobacco, liquor, and in fact to all kinds of advertising? The questions that will be aimed at the Christi ian daily w.ll assuredly be legion. What it's ans w'er to them will be will not be divulged till 1t comes from the press.
 As if apprecfative Of some of the serious business difficulties to be met. it seems to be MT Sheldon's view that a Christian daily paper should be endowed institution. That was behind his question asking a mill lion dollars at Detroit last summer. Ed ward Norman, moreover, in "In Ills Steps" strong endowment. and the author says of it: 1.-The News created new foice in jour nalism that in time was recognized as one of the real factors of the nation. moulding its principles and actually shaping its poli- cy a dadly Illustration of the might of Christian press, and the first of a series of discip e's who had also taken the pledge"

A DUKES LITTLE AFFAIR
Adventure of an Heir to a Throne With
 Soldiers Best Girl

From the New York Sunday Telegraph
 Luxe Albrecht, heir apparent to the throne Of Wurtemberg, who is living tenn porarily at Potsdam with his family is one oi the most popular princes of Germany A story told about him at Stuttgart has followed him to the Prussian residence cstv.
 When the duke was still single and living at Stuttgart officer he was invited to dinner one evening by the commanding general. Upon his arrival at the house he found he was some minutes too soon and as the strictest punct tuality Is observed in such cases, he decided to take short walk
 Readers of the comic papers all know that almost every ordinary German soldier bestows his affections upon some servant girl, and almost every servant girl is att tracted by brass buttons At night before 10 o'clock, at which time the soldiers have to be at the barracks one often sees such couples standing in dark corners or near the garden gate of the house where the maid is working.
 The duke, who was walking peacefully along, was not little surprised at being suddenly embraced and kissed and having two warm sausages and 50 pfennigs (about 12 cents) thrust into his hand with the words. "I have time tonight. but shall come tomorrow at 7."
 The duke who immediately understood the mistake, took the necessary steps to- ward finding the rightful owner of the things which he had received in such an extraordinary manner. This was com- paratively easy task, as, knowing that the misunderstanding was caused by the uni form, he had only to look among the men of his own regiment.
 After finding the right man he had him called before him, gave him his sausages and money, and said: "She could not come last night, but she says she will have time this evening at T. You will have to take the other things for granted"

When the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were children, relates the Chicago Times Herald they were taken by their parents to Paris on visit to the French Emperor. They enjoyed their stay so much. that at the end of it the Prince of Wales asked the Empress whether she could not persuade the Queen to let then stay a little longer.
 'T am afraid the Queen could not dc without you," said the Empress.
 Not do without us?" promptly replied the Prince; don't fancy, that. for there are six more at home, and they don't want us!"
