LAWRENCE sARRETTs TRIBUTE
What the Great Actor Said OF Mrs
LeMoyne.

What the Great Actor Said OF Mrs.
LeMoyne.
Mrs. LeMoyne, who comes to~the
opera house on Tuesday Dec. so is
considered by many eIocutionists and
critics the best exponent of good En-
glish on the stage. Lawrence Barrett,
the classical actor, whose association
with Edwin Booth is well remem-
bered, once said; ''Mrs. Lee
Moyne, your accent is neither New
York, Boston or London but cosmo.
politan. 1t surprises me that every
word you speak, even in a low tone,
can be heard in the farthest part Of the
house. When so many of our promi-
nent actors humble and chew their
words, your perfect mastery of the art
of enunciatlon is indeed remarkable. "
The actress owes her purity of speech
largely to the fact that for many years
she studiously avoided work in dialect
and the use of foreign languages. En-
gllsh, she sfatee, requires the utmost
fexibility of the lips and this is in
iured by speaking foreign tongue.

Themselves to spank us so;
I guess II only hurts their hands,
They spank so hard, you know.
Now spankin' has gone out of style,

HE DIDN'T KNOW THE LINGO.

New York Tribune: A Harvard grad
uate tells this story on himself. Says
he: THE summer after graduation |
was travelling alone through Germany.
Before landing in the country | had
thought that l knew considerable about
the language, having spent two years
in the study of it, with a finish of
Goethe and Schiller. But | SOC found
that a reading of the poets or the Nieb-
elungen Lied did not help me when |
wanted to order a beefsteak at a hotel
or was inquiring the distance to the
next town. Indeed, as l went further
up the Rhine | found myself more and
more confused by what | heard, and had
finally made up my mind that an Amer
lean cannot learn the German language
out of the textbooks, or ever by a
weeks %sojourn among the German peo-
pie themselves.
II had reached this sober conclusion
when entered one evening a small inn,
or 'gasthaus," just outside the town of
Heidelberg. Thirsty from the hot sun
and dusty road. | managed to order a
glass of beer. While the heavy German
innkeper was drawing another | put
my feet on the table to better ease my
legs. At the other end of the table sat
a number of German soldiers drinking
and smoking together. A few moments
later one of the soldiers arose hastily,
and, taking off his cap, addressed me
at some length. Not knowing a word
that was said, | concluded that yes
would be a proper answer, and so | said
politely: Yah, yahi'
There was a moments pause, and
then a second soldier sprang to his feet.
He repeated ove the speech of the first
soldier, and Their all the group in uni
form started at me. By a natural in
ference | now decided that If yah was
wrong a negative answer must fit the
question, so I smiled pleasantly and
taking off my hat, answered, 'Nein,
nein, nimmer.'
"All the soldiers now sprang to their
feet, and there might have been inter-
national complications at the present
time between the United States and
Germany if the hotelkeeper who knew
a bit of English, had not said:
"'Young man, they have asked you
twice to take your feet off the table,
and threaten II you do not hat they
will throw you out of the house.
"At this the stars and stripes were
pulled down before | realized that had
beaten q retreat"

WASHINGTON IN THE NURSERY
Forgot His Dinner to Play With the
Children.

OnllOTen.
Children's Visitor: | read a very
pretty story the other day, which l
must tell you, because you all like
stories; and it is about one whom you
love. 1t occurred more than a hundred
years ago. One winter night a large
house in a Northern state was brilliant
ly Illuminated; the table was spread
with all the silver and glass and bright
decorations, while a number of good
things were provided for eating. A
guest was expected, and the dinner vas
spelling. The domestic said that the
guest had arrived an hour before, and
had been shown to a room so that he
could rest and wash before dinner. AS
he did not ONE down, the host excused
himself to the other guests and went
upstairs. On his way he passed the
nusery and there sat the missing guest,
a baby astride his foot. He was riding
the child to Boston and singing quite
Justify, How the Derby Was Won," to
the delight of another child close by.
When he say his host he was a little
confused, but finished the song, then
rose and babe the children goodnight.
Say Goodnight, and thank you, Gen
eral George Washington" said the
father. Goodnight, and thank you,
General George Washington" the chill
dren called after him. How happy those
children must have been through life
to remember the time when Washing
ton forgot his dinner to play with them.

SOME COUNTERFEIT COINS.
Have Regular Market Quotations Ac-
cording to Glass.

II, Notwithstanding the vigilance of
the federal secret service, this wide
awake country is occasionally flooded
with counterfeit money, it is natural to
expect that less watchful nations would
sometimes get into very serious diff
culties through the counterfeiting of
the currency. A case in point is Corea,
which apparently is the counterfeiter's
paradise. Part of the trouble arises
from the attempt of the government to
establish a nickel coinage, the intrinsic
value of which is only about one-
eighteenth its face value. Consequently
nickel is being imported in immense
quantities. The British vice consul at
Chemulpo is authority for the state
ment that there are regular market
quotations on counterfeits. For in
stance, the official coinage Is quoted as
first class, the best co~unterfeits as third
class, and the poorest limitations as
fourth class.-New Orleans Picayune.

Human Desires Make Civilization.

Civilization indeed consists in the at
tempt to minimize the evils, while con
serving the benefits of the hitherto
inevitable conflict between material re-
sources and human desires. AS long,
however, as this conflict endures, the
primary explanation of human life
must continue to be the economic ex-
planation-the explanation of the adj
justment of material resources to hui
man desires. This adjustment may be
modified by aesthetic, religious and
moral, in short, by intellectual and
spiritual, forces; but in last resort 1t
still remains an adjustment Of life to
