LAY UP YOUR TREASURES.
No Man should spend the whole of
HIS Income.

HIS Income.
Is anyone too poor to save is an I'm
portant problem which the readers Of
London daily are at present attempting to
solve. The question is not by any means
a new one; 1t is one which has troubled
past generations, Just as, in all probability.
It will affect the generations yet to come.
We cannot say that this latest discussion
of the subject 10 throwing much, II any,
fresh light upon Il. In the hrst place,
there is a diversity Of opinion regarding
the team poor" One man, who derives
an income OF 1850 a year from private
property, fancies he comes under the cate
CORY, while another does not consider any
one poor who has an income Of $500 a
year, says a writer in Leslie's Weekly.
II is manifestly impossible to TX any limit
in a matter like this. Very much depends
upon the locality and the conditions and
surroundings OF the individual. An in
come that would be amply sufficient to
insure a family a comfortable home, ex-
eeilent social advantages and a good living
in a country village would mean many
privations and sore discomforts In any
large city. on the whole however, We are
inclined to believe that Max o'Rells views
on the point under discussion come nearer
the safe and common sense rule than any
thing we have seen. II do not care" he
says, "hoW small the income Of a man is,
he should never spend the whole Of IL,
especially il he has wife and children.
He should at least save enough to pay
every year the premium on a good life
policy. No man is worthy of the name
who does not do this, at least, at the price
OF whatever privations he has TO submit
10. Some pleasure may be derived from
high living, but certainly no happiness

Amusements.
At the Boyd.

In treating Of way Down East" which
is here on its annual round, II Is probably
enough to say that the play tells the same
story in the same way, and the parts are
mainly interpreted by the same people who
have made us familiar with Miss Parker's
play as well as Mr.. Joseph Grsmer's elabo-
ration Of the same. Having in mind some
Of the plays that have drawn people to
the Boyd on Sunday night, It is no par
ucular compliment to the present company
to say that It was watched and listened to
by an audience that filled the theater. Yet
Il must be admitted that attendance on a
night like last is an evidence OF interest
In the entertainment afforded Way Down
East is advertised as inculcating a moral
lesson, but, in the language Of Captain
Cutie, "the moral OF this lies in the ap-
plication OF It," Whatever OF strength
there is in the tale is fully brought out
by the capable cast, and the setting OF
homely pictures that surrounds the action
of the play makes It deubly enjoyable.
Miss Grace Hopkins brings to the diflcult
part OF Anna Moore ability Of an unusual
order, and, while she naturally has the
sympathy Of all on account OF the misfor-
tunes that overwhelm her. she dominates
her scenes by her quiet, forceful acting
Charles Riegel as Squire Bartlett and Phil
lip Yale Drew as David Bartlett afford ex-
oellent support to Miss Hopkins. The
others in the cast are acceptable. The
staging of the piece is decidedly natural
and effective. 1t will be repeated this
evening.

To the younger generation the name OF
Mast is hardly a memory, but to the older
ones Il recalls a man who was probably
Americas greatest cartoonist. In recent
years he has done little work along this
line and even that little seemed TO have
lost the peculiar touch OF his palmy days.
His first work was done for Leslie's, but
he later went to harper's and 1t was while
with this publication that he became IA
NOUS When the fight was commenced
against the corrupt Tweed ring in New
York, Mast entered the Held and nothing
In the shape of cartoons has ever had so
much influence in this country as his draw
ings Of Tweed and the other Tamtnany
bosses and they had much to do with
rousing public sentiment to crush the cor
rupt combine. Those who remember the
pictures of Tweed, drawn as a hog and pre-
serving the features Of both the hog and
the Tammany boss, can scarcely repress a
smile, even to this day, when those IA
nous pictures are called to memory.
The Tweed riugsters were by no means
the only subjects for his pencil, and his
style was as varied as the themes he
treated. His most famous and fetching
cartoons, however, we're those in which
he combined the features of the object Of
his attack with those Of animals, which
best suited his purpose and 1t required
no diagram to explain the point of his car
toons.
He worked rapidly and those who were
familiar with him state that when he
conceived an idea the drawing Of the car
toon was the work OF only a few minutes.
Those who have heard him lecture and
seen him illustrate his lecture with crayon
drawings done before the audience can
easily believe this. An incident Of the lee
ture would suggest an idea and a few
sweeps OF the crayon produced the pic
ture.
A disagreement with the publishers of
Harper's practically retired him. The COM
psny would not permit him to draw what
he wished, neither would they release him,
and as he would not draw what was wanted
he practically retired for several years on
salary. When he was ready to re-enter
the field others had occupied It and in fact
advancing years appeared to have robbed
him Of his virility.
He was born In Bavaria in 1910 and
came with his parents to the United States
at the age Of 8. He was appointed to the
] post he was holding at the time Of his
death in July OF the present year.

At the CreightOn-Orphcum.

1t would not be fair to tell Just how
many years Eddie Girard has been playing
the funny little stage policeman, but he
began before some Of the young men who
now sit in the front rows and laugh at
him knew what the inside of a theater
looked like. Despite the fact that Mr.
Girard's characterization is now creating
merriment for a second generation, It re-
tains all its power with the comparative
old-timers. No matter how many years or
how frequently one has seen this unique
comedian, there is never a time when one
cannot thoroughly enjoy his work. In pre-
senting THE Soubrette and the Cop" at
the Orpheum this week, Mr.. Girard has the
assistance of Miss Jessie Gardner, who has
a good voice and a pleasing personality
to add to the attractiveness OF the sketch.
And with an act like that presented by
Girard and Gardner on the bill It seems
strange that the management should fea-
ture one so absolutely devoid OF merit as
that given by person Of the name of
Sparrow. so-called comic juggler. 1t is
true that Sparrow breaks enough chinaware
to stock a cupboard. as he is advertised
to do but II the management feels an ire
sstible impulse to break dishes, why not
hire messenger boy to carry on the work
Of destruction out in the alley? With
Sparrow cut out Of the bill, the show OF
the week would be good from curtain to
curtain. The Standard Quartet's turn is
one Of the best in that line ever given
at the orpheum, all the voices being of
rare quality and the selections being out
OF the ordinary. George H. Wood, who is
not a stranger in Omaha, has some new
fun, and Leo and Chapman. who have also
been here before, do not adhere to their

Washington, Dec. 17.-President
Roosevelt and his cabinet had one of
the most extended an: important meet
ings that has been held this year. For.
eign affairs practically consumed the
entire time of the session. The Vene-
its phases, but no conclusion was
reached different from that which has
actuated the president and his advis-
ers throughout the consideration of the
troubles between Venezuela on the
one side and Germany and England on
the other. From an authoritative
source the information is obtained
that there will be no recession on the
part of this government with respect
to questions involving Venezuela or
any other of the governments of South
or Central America as laid down by
the president in his message to con-
gress. Every detail of the develop
ment in the Venezuelan situation is be-
ing scrutinzed with the utmost care.
1t can be said authortatively that
no apprehension exists in the minds of
any of the administration officials that
serious trouble growing out of it will
accrue to this country. 1t is believed
that both Great Britain and Germany
will act within the arrangement which
originally was presented to this gov
ernment and to which the United
States passively asSented.

Puerto Cabello. Saturday, Dec. 13.-
The British cruiser Charybdis and the
German cruiser Vineta bombarded the
fortress here at o'clock this after
noon and quickly silenced it. The
bombardment lasted for forty-five min
utes. The fortress is composed of
Fort Solano and the Castle Libertador.
After the firing ceased the Charybdis
sent marines to occupy the castle.
The fortress was almost demolished.
It is probable that only few persons
were injured by the shelling. The
commander of the Castle Libertador
has been taken prisoner. The cruisers
are still here.
A German resident and two serv-
ants at San Estoban, three miles from
Puerto Cabello, were killed in the she'll
ing Of the fort.
At Z o'clock this morning the
Charybdis and the Vineta arrived here
searching for Venezuelan gunboats.
The two cruisers sent their boats into
the inner port. but finding no gunboats,
the boats returned. The captain of
SAA0 OAAtAoA ASA0AI otC0uucT 4O-
Pare, which was seized by the mob
here last Wednesday, then visited the
British commodore on board the
Charybdis and lodged protest against
the violation Of mis- ship. The British
captain returned an hour later with
detachment of fifty marines, who
took charge of the Topaze. The pop
ulace was greatly excited at this in
cident and raised the cry ITO arms!"
but there was no disorder.
American consuI's Efforts Useless.
The British commodore then sent
message to the authorities at Puerto
Cabello demanding immediate satis-
faction for the action of the mob in
having hauled down the British flag
from the Topaze, saying that if this
satisfaction was not forthcoming in
two hours, at o'clock the fortress and
the custom house would be lombard
ed. On receipt of this demand the
authorities sent message to Presi-
dent Castro asking for instructions.
A committee Of merchants from Puer-
to Cabello then approached the Amer
lean consul here, petitioning him to
intervene. The consul accepted this
mission and visited the cruisers, but
he could obtain no alteration in the de-
cision of the allies.
At a quarter before reply was
received from President Castro, who
authorized the chief official here to
Hye the British commodore ample
satiSfa action. Before this answer
could be communicated to the Amer
lean consul the hour stipulated for its
receipt had arrived; the cruisers i'm
mediately opened fire on the fortress.
The IRE was returned from Fort So
lano and Castle Libertador, but the
Venezuelan guns we're soon silenced
While the firing continued there was
intense excitement in this port
Every house in town was closed.
The people of Puerto Cabello can
not account for this precipitate &C.
tion on the part of the allies. which
they consider to be proof that Great
Britain and Germany intend forcing
war upon Venezuela.
The British marines purpose to make
use of the cannon In Castle Libertador
No damage was done to the town. The
excitement Of the people is subsiding.
