In my opinion there are two prin.

First, resentment OF unaccustomed
limitations and restrictions felt by
men returning from the field OF ser

abolition OF the oanteen feature Of the

The manager, who feared scene.
handed over one OF his cards and told
the men he was responsible and quite
willing to take the consequences OF re-

Despite the apparent sway of farce

the old-fashioned .melodrama still

which has greeted WINS Granger dur

Jack" Not only is Manager Edward
Q. White highly pleased with the re-

A GENEROUS MILLIONAIRE.
John Mackay's Christmas Iiberaiity &c
Ills Old Associates.

heard some delightful stories about
John Mackay the other day. which
bring out his generosity and simplicity
very well. When Christmas time
comes. he always begins to think of
all his old associates who have not
done well In the world. and who look
forward to his helping them always at
this period Of the year. And he then
goes over the list with one Of his con-
fidants, and this is something like the
conversation: Poor Bill Adamsl Put
him down for $780, BIZ Is a good fell
low" A pause. Say, wonder II
Bill is still as fond of a drop OF whis'
ky? Yes. | dare say he is; and he'll
certainly get rid OF that $500 on a
bit OF spree. and then he'll have
nothing. Put him down for another
$500" "Then Jack Hynes; Jack is a
good fellow; he ought TO have done
better; put Jack down for $500" A
pause. Eyes, $500; think that's
enough" Another pause. But Jacks
dreadfully weak about the girls; he's
sure to spend the $500 on some petit
coat that has caught his fancy. Yes
put him down for another $500.
And so on through a list until the
benefactions amount to 'something that
many would consider a handsome in
come for a year. Which is all very
touching and very Irish. With all his
life in America. John Mackay retains
the spirit OF the country he left when
he was but s years OF age.-London
