The following clipped from the

interest to many readers of the
Opinion. Mrs. Durant was born,
and lived several years in West
Newbury, in the house now occupied
by William x. Putnam. She was
a girl of rare promise, and the obit-
uary of the woman speaks of the life
her old friends would have expected
of the girl, as we knew her.
"On Wednesday, December 10, at
her home on Columbia street, Pasa-
dena. Mrs. E. ]. Durant passed to
the life beyond, Where loved ones
gone before are waiting to welcome
her to her eternal home Through
many months of pain and suffering,
she maintained that bright, hopeful
spirit so characteristic of her whole
life. Heroica1ly striving to over
come the ills of the body, but ever
wont to say, Our good Heavenly
Father knoweth what is best, I will
not complain. She was a woman

THE PASSING SHOW.

The st. Paul citizen with a keen
sense of humor doubtless grins appre-
ciatively whenever he recalls the mot
ley procession of theatrical posters
that passed through the town last sea-
son. Players in multi followed players
in costume. Actresses whose youthful
features smiled from the billboards on
the men and women of past genera
ton presented the same smiling and
youthful contenance last year-a bill
board proof that while custom may
er. Lurid scenes from lurider melo-
dramas held the small boy entranced
and forced from the fleeing citizen the
devils query, Its striking but is it
art?" Occasionally a damsel beside
whom Gunga Bin would have appear
ed sufficiently clad danced on the
board. Less often a solitary name
would be blazoned forth. the sugges-
ton of sufficiency adding to the dignity
which isolation impaired.
But mingled with all these. although
almost as infrequent as the oyster
in the stew which is sold to raise the
church debt, was to be found the real
ly good theatrical poster; one done by
conscientious craftsman. 1t invaria-
| tention. Those who recognized the ne
cessity of billboards rejoiced that one
could be made so attractive. And it is
safe to assume that the majority rea-
soned that a play advertised so arts
tically must have artistic merit of it's
own
Doubtless there are strenuous plays
that must be advertised by strenuous
scenes in strenuous colers-else they
would not attract the class of people
i for whom they are written. Yet it is
| question whether the men who order
the Autographs for such plays do not
underestimate the taste of the people
they would attract. A cleverly done
and original poster might be quite as
effective as a daubers, effort to picture
| the hero or the heroine in extremis.
Moreover-though this is not state
value of everything theatrical by the
ment that the man who estimates the
box Office receipts would consider
such posters would add to the appear
ance of any town.
The past few years have witnessed
some extravagant stage productions.
Thousands of dollars have been spent
on what. to- thes average theater goer,

A Prenosterous Claim.

mo self-respecting nation submits
to arbitration SO preposterous claim
as that which Great Britain's ward

Diary. The United States has a better
record than any other power on earth
for sincerity and zeal in promoting
international arbitration. It is a rec
ord that sufficiently attests this ma
tons love of peace, and the world
knows it by heart In consenting to
the appointment of the commission
and in naming three commissioners
who were to be depended upon, our
government has gone as far as justice
demands or public sentiment would
tolerate. 1t would have been impossi-
