the old Drury Lane Theatre in London,

On the stage the chief character in the
interesting story of The Royal Box"
supposed to be an actor at Drury Lane
Theatre, while appearing in scene
from Romeo and Juliet" will approach
the footlights in jealous rage and
denounce the Prince. The curtain
will be rung down, the stage manager
will apologize to the audience, and the
orchestra will cover the seeming con-
fusion byplaying God Save the King"
All this is part of the play, but it Is
all so real. so well done, that one i'm
agines for Just second that he has
actually witnessed a public quarrel be-
tween royalty and an actor. The
scene is said to be powerfully acted by

Truth needs no flower of speech.
The mere announcement that Lewis
Morrison : "FNaust" will be here tonight
on more elaborate scale than ever be-
fore Is sufficient to assure to our the
a.re goers a performance worthy of
their utmost attention. Morrison is
always thorough in all that he does
and he gives brilliancy to all his pro-
ductions distinctly "Morrisonian." No
illusion of mawkish sentimentality is
needed, but Morrison's Faust" is of
absorbing interest, obtained and held
by the intellectually of a master mind
with the ear mark of genius and a
creative brain. This is the reason of
the enormous popularity of Morrison S
Faust" and it will ever be so.

an Interpretation of Aria which should
establish her in the front rank of the
country's stellar exponents of the dra-

quite remarkable in so light, so 1.-THE,

this line she is in reality quite as
strong as Leslie Carter. But in addi-
ton to this strength as an emotional
actress her work is embellished with
the finesse of Mrs. Fiske. and the
combination of these two qualifications
at once put Miss Holland in a fcrmost

THE HORSE IS UNFRAMED.
Only Referred Its Con-
ditIOn.

Ten years ago, when electric trolley
cars began to be generally introduced
into the cities, SO many draught horses
that had been used in the street car
service were put on the market that
the price of horses fell to figure that
left no profit to horse breeders. Many
stopped breeding horses altogether.
Others, more far seeing, began to
breed better ones, believing that only
the common plug" horse was to dis
appear from the market. This has
proved true, says a well posted author
ity. The electric elevated railroad
has been introduced since that time,
and the automobile, both doing much
of the work that used to be done by
horses. Yet the price of horses is
higher now than it was ten years ago,
because only good ones are in demand
and there are not enough of a high
grade offered for sale.
The plug" that used to sell for S25,
has largely disappeared from the mar
ket, and with it has gone the cruelty
of drivers. A mans pocketboolS usual
ly appeals to him more strongly than
a humane society, and when he has
paid $3.50 for horse he has a personal
interest in seeing that it is not abused.

real glimpse Of the meaning bf iserv-
ice. She did catch something of it
now. She opened her New Testament,
and it was not by chance that she
turned to the passage in Luke, twenty
second chapter:
And there arose also a contention
among them which of them is account
ed to be the greatest. And He said
unto them, The kings of the Gentiles
have lordship over them; and they that
have authority over them are called
benefactors. But We shall not be so;
but he that is greater among you, let
him become as the younger, and he
that is chief as he that doth serve. For
which is greater, he that stitch at
meat or he that serveth? Is not he
that sittsth- at meat? But I am in the
midst Of you as he that serveth. But
We are they which have continued with
me in my temptations. And 1 appoint
unto you kingdom even a my Father
appointed unto me, that We may eat
and drink at my table in my kingdom"
duke 22:24-2e.)
Then she kneeled and prayed:
Dear Lord, make me fit to serve
use me to the glory of Thy kingdom in
the new life before me. Make me
worthy to be servant, to be like my
Master. Amen"
So Barbara Clark began her new ex-
perience, which profoundly affected
not only her own life for all time to
come, but the lives of very many other
souls in the world. And that night she
slept the sleep which belongs to all
the children of the kingdom, whose
earthly peace is as the peace of God.
