The truth Of the follow ing anecdotc,
which had It's origin through the well
meant zeal Of n gentleman who had
been hunting up the records Of the
Robertson family, of which Mrs. Ken
dial Is so brilliant a member, Is vouch-
ed. This gentleman in his researches
had discovered that he could trace the
Robertson descent through the female
line from Charles II. Imagining that
the knowledge OF n royal ancestry
would be gratifying information. he
conveyed his supposed discovery by
letter to one of the elder representa-.
lives of the family. This good lady in
stead of approaching the honor replied
In the following characteristic manner;
"Sir, have never before heard the fact
you have communicated 10 me. The
Robertsons have gone through many
vlcisstudes OF rank and fortune, but
they have always been considered re-
spectacle. have no desire to hear the
particulars of your discovery"

The American people arc great thea
ter goers and spend about $ll2000,0G0
annually for such amusements," said a
prominent theatrical manager TO the
writer recently. This vast sum of
money Is paid into the treasures Of
some 1000 companies, which were est.
mated to be playing In all parts of the
United States last year. THIS includes
everything that can be considered
strictly professional companies, to say
nothing Of the countless amateur or
CARNATIONS.
"Of the strictly theatrical organza
tlons 1t Is safe to say that the average
receipts per night for the 1000 compa-
MES Is $500 each. 1T seven perforn-
Rnces per week for each company the
weekly average would be 50, 800. The
average theatrical season Is 10 weeks.
The entire 1000 companies, with aver
age nightly receipts Of 800, would
produce weekly receipts at seven per
formances per week amounting TO s.
100000 This multiplied by 40, the
number Of weeks in the theatrical sea
son, will yield gross receipts amount
ing to $112 100000, which IS probably
far below what the people Of this e0un-
try really do pay every year for the.
atrical amusement. Washington Star.

IN THE MATTER OF CRYING.
While Weeping Is Quite Natural, 1t
May He "Cured" In Children.


1t comes natural to every woman to
pity child when 1t hurts itself. Be
the misadventure big or little, the
mother Immediately takes the little one
in her arms and In her most sympa-
thetlc, plying tones tries to solace it.
And of course the child concludes
something terrible has happened to 1t
and cries vigorously. A little baby if
pitied can soon be brought to a weep
ing state when nothing whatever Is the
matter with It, Just call up your most
tender, sympathetic tone; ask him that
time honored question, Did they boos
the baby" and the little lips will begin
to culver, the mouth to droop and soon
II wall breaks forth that is meant to In
dictate that they" did
OF course children will cry some
times. Crying Is an institution that
cannot be done away with. Crying,
more or less, is expected with the advent
of the little stranger, but the more or
less depends largely on the parents. A
child can be laughed into a good hui
NOR Instead of plying him at the nu-
merous little hurts he gets, those that
are really of no Importance, treat
them as good joke. Laugh at them,
and the baby will quickly laugh with
you 1t doesn't take long to chase the
tears away. Besides doing away with
n lot of unnecessary crying it teaches
him not to mind little hurts and devel-
ops brave, manly little fellow. This
does not apply to serious mishaps, but
20 those numerous little bumps which
youngsters are continually getting and
which n little pity quickly magnifes
into something of Importance In child
ish eyes.
Never giving a child anything he
| cries for Is another excellent way to
nip In the bud the crying habit. IL 1t Is
| proper for him to have, promise 1t to
him when he stops crying. Reward his
good behavior not his bad. or course
II bad habits in this direction are form
ed It is hard to correct them. But such
discipline observed from the beginning

the name 1t Is huge cliff 60 feet
high rising sheer from the bottom

THE TITLE REILLY TOOK.
He Made Himself as Mig n Man ms the
Hest of Them.

e'Nt "a
"When you mention the name of
John Reilly, you touch reminiscent
chord In the hearts of hundreds of the
older residents of Baltimore" remark
ed we'll known gentleman.
ION one occasion Reilly had to jour
ney to Philadelphia on business. 1t
was In the time of the old stagecoaches,
and he made his way lelsurely along.
Upon arriving there he registered at
one of the leading hotels. That leads up
to my story. At that time 1t was custom
airy for men to add to their signatures
such titles or evidences Of dignity as
they possessed. When Reilly looked
over the hotel register. he saw some
thing like this: John Jones, LII. D.;
William Smith. A. NJ. A. B.; Samuel
Johnson, u. o. Selling II pen. he In
scribed the following: John Reilly, Il.
II. s. Then no went about his bust
ness and spent pleasant and prodta-
Bile afternoon.
Returning to the hotel at night, he
was met by n committee OF leading and
learned citizens. They greeted him
qualification that such distinguished
man should be in their midst. He was
urgently requested TO deliver Il lecture
before some scientific body during his
stay. You see, they judged from the
mystic letters on the hotel register that
he was fellow of the Royal society.
REILLY was man of imposing per.
sonal appearance. He made himself
very agreeable to the committee, but
could not name date for the lecture.
When they left him, friend asked the
reason OF the demonstration.

letters Il. Il. $. after your name, any
