Loubet and the St. Louis Fair

The st. Louis Globe Democrat thinks
that 1t ought to be easy for the officials
OF the Louisiana Purchase Exposition

He walked through the room, out
into the hall to the door. He put his
hand on the knob and looked back at
her. Though her face had paled to the
whiteness Of her gown. she made no eff
fort to recall him. He turned the knob
and went out. The door shut on him.
She started forward with sharp
quick cry as if she would have opened
the door. Then, clasping one hand to
her heart, she caught up the seashell
and held 1t close to her ear, listening.
The group at the piano, rushing
laughingly in, found her standing mo-

Why "ROmeo and Juliet" Ia Ponular

Why "Romeo and Juliet" Is Popular.
1t Is natural that Romeo and Juliet"
should always have been favorite
with actors. 1t is full of pictures; it
appeals to the most popular of the emo
lions; Its poetry Is only too well fitted
for recitation. There never was an
actress under fifty who did not feel
herself Juliet or an actor under sixty
who did not see himself as Romeo.
For once Shakespeare wrote great poet
ry which the mob could not but love.
could not but find itself at home with.
Juliet is the Englishmans symbol for
Helen, and Shakespeare has made her
the name for virtue in love, fatal in
deed to herself and to Romeo, but in
nocently fatal. We are far from "the
couple of unfortunate lovers" of
Brooke's "Tragicall History of Romeus
and Juliet" written first in Italian by
Bandell and MOVIE in Englishe by Ar.
b. one of Shakespeare's sources
whom Brooke hastily shows us FINALLY,
by all means Of unhonest life hasting
to most unhappy death" "The two
hours traffic of our stage" was to
concerned with "the mis-
adventured piteous overthrows" of "a
pair of star crossed lovers" He laws
the blame on no one, not even on fate,
giving us the story as 1t happened:
For never was story of more woe
Than this Of Juliet and her Romeo.

He drew up his chair nearer, and.

he caressed them.
Somewhere or other in Grimm's

sort OF story. Isn't there a girl who
goes down in the cellar and sits there
weeping because some day she might
marry and the storks might bring her
a little child and the little child might
fall down the steps TO that cellar way
and break its leg?"
1T is only when you love a man."

Duty Of Parents to Dauphters.

A unique case lately arose in the
orphans court in Bucks county. Pa,
and was disposed Of by the presiding
Judge in unique and altogether sensi-
BILE way. 1t appears that William Kiss
thller and Mary Lorah of the town of
blandon had been lovers several years
ana were sincerely attached to each 9th.
er. Miss Lorah is but twenty years of
age ana, her parents contend, "too young
and not sufficiently acquainted with
household duties to marry" though she
has incurred an obligation to do so.

Allen Lorah, the girls father. refused
to sign the application for marrige II.
cense and petition was presented to
the Judge of the orphans court to an
point guardian who could give the
necessary consent. This was done and
the young couple were married in due
legal form despite the objections of the
obdurate parents. In his opinion ON the
case the judge said:
Some parents seem to think that the
whole circle of their duty to their chno
dren embraces nothing but the supplv of
their physical needs and that If they
ciothe them, feed them and house them
lney nave performed their whole DUTY. |
Ihey seem to be unaware of the fact that |
all the value and beauty Of life have their
seat and source In the soul and that while
the supply of the physical wants of chill
uren ID necessary to the maintenance of
their bodies the nurture Of true cultiva-
ton OF their spiritual life and character ia
the highest duty and most sacred func-
ton of the parent.
Inere 10 significant statement of the
answer filed by the father in this case
ana strongly persuasive as evidence that
the petitioner has not received that home
training to which she was entitled. The
answer says that she lis too young and

NEW AND EXPANDING HAVANA. Since the American occupation, and especially within the last year, a new
 and constantly expanding Havana has
 suddenly sprung into existence. The
 old Malecon or sea wall at the entrance to the harbor has been strengthened and thoroughly renovated; quaint. me- dieval little Spanish forts no longer ex1 ist, and round about the historic Punta
 Battery. where horses used to be
 washed in the salt water, there extends a beautiful maritime park, with, stately
 approaches and avenues.
 Those who sigh for the good old
 Spanish days are indeed having hard time, as the city engineers in charge of municipal improvements show scant re- gard for sentimental considerations, an instance of this being the leve1ing of
 the picturesque relics of the original city walls, overhung by vines. Every where in Havana these engineers are supervising the work of tearing up the plhlClpdI SIlOEUuSHldTtS, ldyillS Il6W mains and pipes, and inaugurating al completely modern system of sewerage. Ill this upheaval there need be no fear of sickness from foul odors, as the san- itary department has its army of intel ligently directed employees ready at a moments notice to pour disinfectants into any spot likeely to breed disease.
 Turn where one may in Havana, ane perceives the old rapidly giving way to the new. The statue of Ferdinand VII, the imbecile George III of Spain, still graees the center of the Plaza de Ar mas park in front of the beautiful pal ace, but his serene image, destined, ac- eording to the Latin inscription, to re- main there forever, is contemptuously tolerated in the ever faithful Isle of Cuba" The common people freely throng through the covered arehway of the palace (now the Presidential House) over a new cement pavement a marked contrast to the days of the naughty captain-generals when only the viceregal body-guard of cavalry might chatter over the cobblestones of I that same archway.
