THE plLoTBoAr.

From out my window can see
The great ships sailing, proud and frees
As to and fro they grandly CO.
Across the singing, trackless main,
Their forms majestic bear chain
Whose golden links will bind in one
All lands and peoples meath the sun.
Far out on the wide and open sea
They bound along SO fearlessly
'Twould seem that when they shoreward CONT
Their compass true would guide them home,
But near the land they need hand
To lead them through the dangerous way;
At harDor gate they lie and wait
For trusty pilot to appear
And into port their course to steer.
A little boat that seems q mote
Glides swiftly down the narrow bay.
The tiny thing on steam feeced wing
Flies gayly out with busy speed.
1t looks so wee. it seems to me,
Too weak the vessel huge to lead,
With seeming pride it HES alongside
OF the giant that looms abaft,
Whose greatness now, with shore set PROV,
In meekness follows the little craft
In the voyage Of life
Mid its strain and strife
The weak may aye help the strong,
And none SO great or high in state
But he may need helping along.

Greeting nv Smelling,

The respectful greeting of FIJI is to
take and smell the hand Of the superior
without rubbing it. In the Gambia when
the men salute the women they put the
woman's hand up to their noses and
smell twice at the back of it. In the
Friendly islands noses are Joined, adding
the ceremony of taking the hand of the
person to whom civilities are paid and
rubbing it with a degree of force upon
the saluter's own nose and mouth. The
Mariana islanders formerly smelled at
the hands of those to whom they wished
to tender homage.
Captain Beechy tells Of the Sandwich
Islanders: "The lips are drawn inward
between the teeth, the nostrils are dis
tended, and the lungs are widely inflated.
The face is then pushed forward, the
noses brought into contact, and the cere-
mony concludes with hearty rub"

THE LIMIT OF HARD LUCK.


Varied Experiences of Cheap The
atricaI Companies ON the Road.
Actor folks have some varied and pecul-
lar experiences.
"Once upon time," as all good stories
begin, there was company which strand
ed at Forth Worth, Tex. They were in
sore straits-owed a hotel bill, the
printer and the transfer man. Under the
existing circumstances some one met one
Of the actors and said:
"Old man, let me give you friendly
tip-get out of here and 60 to Little
Rock. There's the town, me boy It's
on a boom, and you can't play to less
than $500 or $500 to save your life"
This sounded well, very well, and the
actor, who, by the way, was the heavy
man." or VILLAIN" of the company, sub
mitted the proposition to a called meet
ing of the company in the parlor Of the
hotel, the result of which was an agree
ment that each one should pawn some
thing and raise the cash to pay the bills,
railroad fare, etc. This was done, and in
due time they arrived at Little Rock.
On the train it had been agreed, after
a seat to seat consultation, that the COM
pany should ride up town, put on bold
front and be particularly pleasant to ev-
erybody. So when the train pulled into
Little Rock they dismounted, and the bus
was so filed that the ''heavy man" had
to ride on the front seat with the driver.
"Fine evening" ventured the william"
'sYet," was the laconic reply.
s4That's a beautiful sunset over there"
continued the actor, pointing to a red
glow at his left.
sSunsetl Sunset, nawthin" snorted
the driver in full scorn. That's the
operay house burnin down."
While | am at it / might as well tell
of that other company, repertory COM
pany, which played IL days, opening
Monday afternoons and playing twice a
day for the entire week in towns not
usually good for zone night stand for
metropolitan organization.
This one opened on Monday after
noon at Ravenna, O., an extraordinary
bad stand, and it was raining pitch
forks" Two o'clock came and not a
single soul in the house; half past 2, and
the anxious "actor-manager," looking out
the ''peephole'' in the curtain, saw one
lone individual sitting in stately silence
In the middle of the "hall."
To close and not play meant the circu-
lation Of the report that they were strand
ed, SO the actor-manager stepped before
the curtain and said:
''Sir, Notwithstanding that you are the
only distinguished citizen Of this pro-
Rressive place who has deigned to honor
us with your presence at this, our open
ing performance, wish to state that we
shall proceed with the performance and
give just as careful production as

DIVORCES IN AMERICA.
Justice Francis Jesune in London Divorce
Court Decides Against Their Validity.
Question Arose in Robinson vs. Rob.
inson, Decroc OF Divorce Having
Been Secured IN California.

New York, Nov "A case involving
the question OF the validity Of American
divorces under the English law has Just
been heard before Sir Francis Jesune,
In the divorce court, says the Herald's
London representative. II was the case
of Robinson VS. Robinson.
Petition was made by Ethel Gertrude
Robinson otherwise Strickland. that
her marriage with Ernest Robinson
should be declared invalid.
Atty. w. A. Barnard said the petition
err went through the form Of marriage
with the respondent on May 2, 1893, in
Christ church, Westminster,
The respondent left his wife In 1898
and inquiries then made showed that he
had been married In 1878 to Miss
Hawtrey In Hampton church.
In 1879 he went 20 America and stayed
there with his wife until 1888, when he
returned to England. He remained in
England until down 10 the time when
he went through the ceremony Of mar
riage with the petitioner.
In 1887 the first marriage was dis
solved by the superior court In the state
OF California.
The Judge decided that II was clear.
according to the marriage law Of Eng
land, that the divorce granted In the
state of California was not valid. Had
1t been granted while the respondent
was domiciled in America IL would have
been binding There was no doubt that
the second marriage was not valid
marriage and the judge granted de-
cree to that effect with costs for the
judgment to the petitioner accordingly.
