Smith O'Brien appears in the title role
of 1.-The Gamekeeper'' this evening at
Polls and the performance is said to be
one of absorbing interest and attrac-
tiveness. Its author, Con e. Murphy,

Fairies Well and Killarney" and this
latest product of his genius is said, to.
be another signal success. All types
Of society are portrayed in the play,
high and low, rich and poor, and the.
action carries the characters through
some of the most picturesque and ro-
mantle scenes, for which Ireland is
famous. Mr. O'Brien. who
Is gifted singer, has some
beautiful ballads, among them,
molly Bawn,' "a Daughter of Ire
1and,'' ''Noreen, Ny Noreen'' and ''The
City of Rest" the latter said to be
more beautiful than The Holy City"

The Hand In Health.

Let us shake hands with man and
we will tell you something about his
health, says the London Doctor. The
firm, hearty handShake of a sincere
man may be rather rough, so that one
is taught he has a grip. but it indicates
stamina. While denoting absence of
tact and refinement, it points to phys
1cal strength. The flabby hand that
retains no pressure belongs to the per-
son who has no great strength of body
or mind. The quick, nervous handshake
of an eXcitab,e, nervous temperament
and it's opposite, the nerveless, passive
one, belong to persons in i'll health.
The hand that threatens to collapse or
give means fear The feel Of the hand
called magnetic indicates health and
Kindness and desire to help Others.
In many ways we may decide charac.
ter by the hand as we'll as the brain.

HnmOr at St. Peters.

You would not look in st. Peters for
a practical joke, but one was perpetrat-
ed by the unknown artist that carved
the tomb of Pope Innocent NIL, who
reigned from 1861 to 100. His family
name was pigmatella, which is the
Italian for small jug, and the artist
has introduced tiny jugs at every op-
portunty among the embellishments.
The toe Of the famous bronze statue
of St. Peter has been worn away by
the kisses of the faithful, which prac-
tice has given rise to the absurd but
widely believed idea that pilgrims kiss
the actual toe of the living pope. 1t is
the ugliest thing in st. Peters. The
figure is of rude workmanship and one
is ready to believe the story that it was
never intended for st. Peter at all, but
is an old statue of Jupiter Capitolinus
unearthed in excavations of the six
tenth century. The church authorities
admit that it was cast from the bronze
of a pagan statue but claim that it was
always intended for st. peter.-ROme

A GENEROUS EDITOR.
Cheated by a Fake story In His Own
Newspaper.


The following true story of New
York reporter Is told by correspond
ent:
"As reporter my friend had not won
the regard of his city editor He fire.
quently failed to return from an as
signment with a good story So when
he was told to draw $40 from the Of
flee, go out and give it to a man genu-
inely in need of it and then write, as a
social study, the needy mans valuation

he had a task that was easy, but or
ganized charity would not, because of
principle. encourage such 'indiscrimi-
nate giving and refused to tell of any
one who was in extremity. Going
down to the Bowery the reporter
questioned policeman and was di-
rected to a certain tenement. When
he got there, the man had been dispos-
sessed and had taken his family out of
the neighborhood. After no success
with two other devices for discovering
man really in want it looked as
though the reporter would once more
have to 90 back to the Office and re-
port failure.
"But what so prepOsterous as to say
to the city editor that man who was
badly Off for the lack of $40 and who
had views on the subject of prosperity

press time was near. Some plan of
action had to be decided on. Meeting
a friend who. though earning n good
deal. always spent more. the reporter
said, For heavens sake, don't you
need So? With excellent presence OF
mind the man answered in the proper
way. and the reporter dashed back to
his desk to write his little social study.
He imagined poor man who had a
pitiful need and told an imaginary tale
about him.
ut was charming. but very sad.
The city editor next afternoon praised
him; it was the finest story of the
day. He added: Already several men
have stopped in to leave checks, and

take all the money to him and write
something about the relief it will af-
ford to him. Wait moment; here's
another $50. Why, it's from the chief
again; you see what an impression
you've made" Taking the money, the
young reporter hesitated. fumbled it.
We'll? inquired the city editor.
"Then the young reporter had to
give the account of the hunt for
needy man as here set forth. After
looking out the window a long time
the city editor said:
"'Of course you are indefinitely sus-
pended. l ought to devise some tor
ture for you also. You might he con-
