work. In Philadelphia positions have been
obtained at Wanamaker's and other large
stores for proteges of the society, and the
daughters there, as well as throughout the
south, pledge themselves to deal as far as
possible, with these establishments. So
much custom came to one of these firms on
this account that they wrote to the chap

Lawrence Barrett's Helping Hand.

By way of getting experience great
many students in the schools of acting do

and 1t is in this way some of them get
their first engagements During Miss
Ffscher's student year Lawrence Barrett
was playing Julius Caesar" and he sent to
the schools of acting for people to go in
the mob scene. Miss Fischer volunteered,
and when she marched up to the great star
with all her magnificent Romanesque
beauty he exclaimed: "Ha! she Is the
noblest Roman of them all!' and placed
her where she would dress the scene" to
the best possible advantage. After the re-
hearsai he asked another student who the
tall girl was, and she answered, I'VE call
her the tall sycamore from the Wabash"
This caught Mr.. Barrett's fancy and he
began to take a personal interest in her, SO
much so, in fact, that through him she re-
ceived her f1rst engagement and counted
him a warm friend to the end Of his life.

ing disposition among the republic
ans of both houses to let the presi-
dent know that they are not disposed
to take orders from him as to legisla-
tive policy.
No doubt he is less bigoted protec-
zionist than the most of them, and
they may be actuated largely by a de-
sire to punish him for his more liberal
leanings.
But there is reason to believe they
are actuated in a much greater de-
gree by resentment aroused by his mil
itary style of laying his commands on
the legislative branch of the govern
ment and his threats of punishment in
case of disobedience of orders.
Mr.. Roosevelt has developed the
qualities of military dictator rather
than those of political leader under
a republican government, and pretty
strong expression of resentment is no
more than natural, and is likely to pro
duce a rather wholesome effect.

Besides. the general superintendent
Of schools is giving his entire atten-
ton to the establishment of high
schools.
3. The civil service consists at the
present time of 5000 employees. of
which 5000. including the 1850 teach
ers, are Americans and the remaining
5000 Filipinos. The civil service I'd
has held 81 examinations since it's
creation in May, 1900, which were at
tended by 5000 adults
We may deduce therefrom that
while the department of public in
struction is occupying itself with the
instruction of the young, the civil
service is encouraging study by
means of the competitive examina-
tons to fill public offices.

President.

There is a manifest disposition
among the republicans at the national
capital to rebel against the leader
ship of Mr.. Roosevelt, who, under our.
political system, is eX-officio leader of
the party to which he is indebted fo1
his election.
In the matter of Cuban reciprocity,
as to which he was especially en-
phatic and peremptory, his party in
the house accepted his leadership only
with the greatest reluctance, and
then with such reservations as to make
it little better than no leadership at
all, says the Chicago Chronicle.
In the senate, where the republicans
are in great hurry to get home be-
fore more exposures of the necessary
effects of the imperial policy make
their party prospects more dismal, it
appears to be the case that in selecting
the measures which must be put
through in order to save the credit of
the party the Cuban bill has been left
out.
This is the more significant, because
the strenuous leader in the white
house has proclaimed his purpose to
reconyene congress Immediately in eX-
ira session in case it shall be so con-
tumacious as to adjourn without sat-

crops, which ought to open the eyes
of people m1sled by the unfortunate
remark of year or SO ago by Secre-
tary Wilson that Kansas crops are
uncertain. The crops of wheat for
five year periods show from TT to
81 an average annual yield of 49,
100000 bushels; from 'S2 to SO a yield
of 2s,OOO,OOO bushels; from ST to 81
yield of 100000 bushels; from 'e2
to '96 a yield of 100000 bushels.
and from '97 to 1901 yield of 65,-
100000 bushels. In the last five years
the wheat crops have exceeded by
100000 bushels the crops of the
ten years preceding.
