Economic knowledge which is enjoy ed by

The test of usefulness Of the economist
is not ability to write 500 pages on value
theories that may never have more than
500 readers. There is q place for such
books. to be sure. but our economists
will never do us much good Until they
deal with facts in the vernacular, instead
of in an incomprehensible, technical lingo.

ably played. In the drama itself, however,
there As Ettye TO commend. IT As episoa-
ical, and ITS story, lacking novelty and
impoverished through the loss Of its mu-
sical .investiture, seems bare and indel-
icate. To make such woman as Carmen
tolerable, a glamour must be thrown about
the character. In the opera this is de-
lightfully supplied by Bizet's music In
the play it is lacking.
Yet, from an artistic standpoint, Car

Hayward has yet done in Minneapolis.
She has resisted every temptation to make
the woman other than she was-a wan

ture who, as she herself expresses 1t,
had been taught, from childhood that an
appetite was something to be satisfied.
Miss Hayward's Carmen possesses moth

She is a woman of animal instincts, fierce
passions and uncontrolled DESIRES. She

is that it has taken hold of the politicians.
Speaker Henderson's county chairmen

they meant the tariff plank in the repub-

John Malcolm Gordon, Jr., was alone
i'll the house. The nursemaid in charge of
him had gone to post a letter. AS the let
ter box was only few yards away she
urged that SO brief journey could not be
termed desertion. And it is not to be sup
posed that she was aware that at that
particular time Of night 10 o,clock-the
broad chested, blue uniformed guardian
Of peace would see fit to linger by that
particular letter box. ..tI
Linger, he did, however. Therefore
when Mr.. Wellington Jones put his leg
over the window sill there was none to
gainsay him save curly haired young
ster Of five. He looked at the sleeping
boy.
THE young un's too small to give much
trouble he muttered. 'I'H choke it out'n
him if he squalls''
He was just putting together the last of
the silver bureau ornaments when John
Malcolm spoke: -
''Who are you?' he said clearly, sitting
bolt upright with that capacity for sudden
and thorough walkening which he had In
herited from his soldier father.
Wellington Jones started, then he said
coolly: i't# .lE
'None of your business, kid. Go back
to Sleep"
''You can't stay in my ROOM" quith John
you are and how you got here"
"All right" said the burglar, with mock
humility. II got in on what you might
call imprompty stairs, and am a member
of the profesh-free lances.'
"Free lances!" John Malcolm sat up
straighter than ever. "Oh, I know what
they are. They fight for their own hand.
Daddy tells me about them. He never
thought thered be one in my own room.

gets back?" ~
The newcomer threw cloth over the
things he had collected and strobe over to
John Malcolm's bed. The latter lay back
on his pillows and smiled up at the free
lance" with an expression Of welcome and
good will. Mr.. Jones, moved to sudden
and unusual sensations, swore vilely under
his breath, that being his only mode OF
expression. ~. ..%
sternly. "I'll tell you the stories mother
time. I'm going to put out the gas, an
you jest keep as quiet as you kin" =
John Malcolm sighed, but in view of
future tales he yielded. The light went
out, and, with his arms full Of plunder,
Mr.. Jones slipped into the captains room
and, opening a fish net, began completing
his arrangements when John Malcolm
shifted danger. Not from the free lance
no, no-but from thin line Of smoke
that WaVered up from the kitchen and
filled his nostrils He knew what that
meant, and he tunbled out of bed. In the
hall he saw a light from his fathers room,
and he nearly frightened Mr.. Jones into a
fit by a frantic, unexpected tug at his
skirts ,".'.." - ~
"S'elp me, !" began that gentleman, drop
ping the net with a crash. But the young
voice shrilled out at him: =.
cts -fre-in the kitchen-our kitchen!
Come quick, free lance! Come qufck!'
Wellington Jones actually yielded to the
shrill command and ran downstairs with
the baby at his heels. Some part of this
