kind-hearted girl and hated to hurt
anyone's feelings.
If johnson resented the ridicule and
covert sarcasm of which he was the
object he made no sign, but went blind
ly on, not doing the things he should
have done, and doing with effusion
those which he ought not to have
done; standing on his dignity when
common sense should have taught
him to unbend, and, because of his
lack of insight into the true inward
ness Of things theatrical, becoming
familiar when it would have been to
his advantage to have remained dig
nified.
To further complicate his relations
with his fellow players, johnson had
fallen head over heels in love with
Helen Marvelle and showed it, regard
ing her with dog-like devotion in his
ewes that proclaimed his secret, which
redoubled the witticisms at his ex-
pense-

IN A sort Of veiled way Johnson was
the butt of the ''By Force of Arms
company. Why Crandall had taken
him on was a question concerning
which that reticent person offered no
information, but it was generally con-
ceded-with a possible exception
that as the new member showed very
little talent as an actor, the nearly
ended season and the minor part to
be filled accounted for it.
The leading man treated him with
lofty condescension; the soubrette
poked open fun at his staid ways and
labored efforts in acquiring the "busi-
ness" of his part, and Ransom, the
comedian, remarked facetiously one
afternoon after johnson had failed
twice to respond to cues: '"That fell
low ought to be with Joe Jefferson as
understudy; he could do the 20 years
sleep in Rip out of sight" Miss Mar
velle, the leading lady, alone failed to
remark on any of Johnson's shortcom-

the thickness of an ordinary biscuit

much larger than silver dollar. The

press it over the first. Lay close to-

plishment of certain domestic duties.

There Is no doubt in the minds Of
experienced educators of the effect
of this double struggle for existence
and education upon the character of
a poor young man. It can be but
for the best, in every instance. This
is one rule to which there seems to
be no exception. For, no matter how
hard the struggle, he is independent.
He feels his independence and soon
becomes self-reliant. Sometimes he
is extensively self-conceited, but
that's all right. His self-reliancc and
his self-conceit are parts of the de-
velopment of ambition, and at the
end of four years he is better able
to face the world than some of those
who have not been through poor
young mans experiences. Moreover,

WONDERFUL BOY B1LL1ARDIsT
II Among the Very Best Cue Artists
and Ii Only Twelve
Years Old.

There are probably 10000 persons
in this city who play billiards every
day and many of them are well
advanced in life and have played the
game from youth up and yet with all
their practice and study combined
with the power of maturity there are
not more than half dozen in the en-
tire lot who can play the game as
well as little 12- -year-old Willie
Hoppe.
Willie is child in every sense OF
T the word until he comes to the bill
lard table, when he at once becomes
man full grown and great genius.
Recently he made 200 points in three
innings at the very difficult game OF
1S inch balk line with run Of 176,
performance that is seldom equaled
by the greatest experts of the world.
There is probably no billiard player
living to-day who has so easy, natur-
al and perfect az stroke as Willie
Hoppe. There is no player that
shows better judgment or is more re-
sourceful, there is no player who
plays more scientific game or ono
there is more pleasure to look at;
there is no one who can get the balls
under control quicker or keep them
much longer. The only drawback to
Willie's play is lack of strength to
make around-the-table shots or to
endure the strain of a long run.
In addition he is one of the most
loyable of children, a perfect little
gentleman, quiet, unassuming, good
natured, good-hearted, has lots OF
nerve and seldom gets ratified. One
of the most wonderful things about
him is his indifference to disturbing
conditions. Nearly all billiard play
ers have to have certain cue or
certain set of balls or certain table
or they cannot play, not so with Will
lie. He takes any cue and any set of
balls and any old table and goes
right ahead as though everything
was just as he would ike to have it.
He was never known to kick.
Willie's health has not been very
good lately and he does not eat
much. Mr.. Bensinger thought he
might be homesick, so he asked him
if he did not want to go home for
awhile ooh, I'm not homesick," he
replied, 'but I'd like to see my mann

Tutoring" that is, private teach

sively carried on than ever before,

ment it provides, if for no other rea-
son. does considerable good. Then
i, ere are all sorts of things many
young men can do which will bring
them in money. Some have worked
regularly few hours every day.
Possibly this is satisfactory way.
A number turn to writing as an aid,
and contribute to magazines and pa
pers. There is no doubt of success.
Year after year classes are turned
out in which, ever-present, we find
the poor young man who has had .

struggle is not always an unpleas-
