Success.

A man there was who failed in life,
And he awoke to find
A lull in all the stir and strife,
For he was left behind
And friends, though some were stanch anc
true.
Seemed of a sudden strangely few.
Another hurried on so fast
That none could match his pace;
He toiled until he found at last
The farthest, topmost place;
And when he sought for rest and cheer
He sighed, In sooth, it's lonely herer'
And he who did from day to day
His duty as he could,
Found comradeship along the way
And life was sweet and good
Though sometimes touched by. envy grim,
He knew not how these envied him.

j. d. R.
From the Sacramento Bee.

John d. Rockefeller is from time to time
credited with large contributions tn
churches and colleges. but he never allows
piety or philanthropy to interfere with
business. Rockefeller's conscience seems
to have much of the same elasticity as
that of Peer Gynt in the Danish play of
that name. who each spring sent consign-
ment OF ldols 10 De sold In China, but fol-
lowed 1t up In the fall with a band of mis-
sionaries. his aim being to make one con-
vert to Christianity for each idol that he
sold at a round profit. Besides, he made
money on the supplies of rum and rice"
sent to the missionaries

Don't Condemn Aeroplane.
From the New York Tribune.

After all. the principle of the aeropIane
was not fairly tested in either the October
or the December experiments over the Po-
tomac. Confidence in the fundamental idea
had been excited by Prof. Langley's earlier
ventures with models, by Chanute's and
Lilienthafs numerous short flights from
housetops or sandbanks, and by Maxfm's
unfinished work in England eight or ten
years ago In fact. every boys kite which
is balfasted so as to keep right side up and
is flown in. an ordinary breeze reveals the
lifting power of the air. 1t Is too soon.
therefore, to condemn the aeroplane utterly.

Vacancy.

There's Christmas smiling in the sky,
There's Christmas in the trees
There's Christmas in the streets nearby,
There's Christmas in the breeze
It's Christmas, Christmas everywhere,
No matter where you look,
Save when you gaze with mild despair
Into your pocket book.

Those women who begin to squirm around

ears and put on their hats before the cur

 Judge Simeon E. Baldwin spoke last evening at United church before the Mems club on Cotton Mather's Chron- icles of Early Connecticut" His dis course was interesting to degree, as giving a clear idea of the earlier cus- toms and principles of the first settlers. Many incidents were enumerated, most of which were taken from Cotton Math- CTS book
 Magnolia" by Mather, was well rec commended as being valuable criterion of early thought and tenets. An incl dent of interest was the voyage of an early emigrant ship to the colonies. During the last five weeks the suffer- ings from famine were beyond descrip- ton. There were but seven on board, and efforts were made to catch sea- fish. But one fish could be caught each day, and none could be caught on Sum day in spite of the greatest efforts. On Saturday, however, two fish were al- ways caught When the ship encoun- tered the, gulf stream the halibut grounds were left behind, but in rec ompense twenty-seven large fish were caught in one day-enough to last the voyagers to their journeys end. Some of the fish were preserved as a memo rial of the goodness of Divine PFopi- dence

Ora Opera fEouSe

Hanlon's "Superba," which is to be at the Grand opera house tonight, Tues- day and Wednesday night, with daily matinee commencing to-day, Is general ly remarked as purely a spectacular pantomime. It is that, and of the purest type, the best the stage has ever known, even of the invention of the fer tile minds of the Hanlons. But it is more than that, too. Its story is pret- ty romance. and 1t is literally running over with the eleanest cut and most wholesome of comedy. Outside of the spectacular and the pantomime it would
 be a success as a romantic comedy, so
 that in reality 1t, is two plays in one. The book, or at4ier the story, is an en-
 tirely new one and was written during
 the summer by Herbert Hall Winslow, from suggestions made by the Hanlons. At the same time they were at work in their big workshop in Cohasset, per- fecting the new inventions to which the new situations gave place. As result
 a perfect whole was made. The romance
 is that of two lovers, who are searching
 for lasting and undreamed of happiness,
 They are assisted by the good Queen
 cNPSA oo' ittSu dSdiuoL ueE IS the
 queen of evil Wallalia, and through her
 all sorts, of trying situations are
 brought about to make the lives of the
 lovers miserable. The good queen final ly prevails. The story is divided into three acts. each one concluding with
 the most brilliant and puzzIing trans formations the Hanlons have ever pro- ! duced. The attraction at the Grand opera house Thursday, Friday, Saturday this week with matinee Saturday will be Sol Smith Russells grand play "A Poor Relation
 Horace Lewis, comedian who is very
 popular throughout the eastern cities, l especially in Boston, has been secured
 to appear in MT. Russells famous part l of Noah Vale" In this, it is said,, Mir. | Lewis has made 8 tremendous success and the company has been greeted with l succession of crowded houses wher- ever they have appeared so far the
 present season. All the scenery, prop ! critics and 9 number Of Mir. Russell s | former supporting company have been retained and will be seen with this att traction.
 "A Poor Relation" is more an idyl of true love than a drama. It is beautiful and perfectly natural in conception,

Dr. Phillips urged young men. who had not already done so, to decide for the rights in life as against the wrong. His address was intensely in teresting, and many were deeply touched.

 Proper food brought woman and her child out of sickness into health. A lady living in Madison Wis, relates her experiences, which certainly is interest ing.
 She says, For about 15 months I was an invalid and part of that time car- ing for little baby girl. Different physicians said I had heart trouble, torpid liver, nervous prostration and female trouble. Finally I was sent down to Chicago to my uncle, good old physician. He said the difficulty all came from my not being able to build up from the kind of food I had been using.
 "T had run down from 130 pounds to sS and had about made up my mind would never get well. He put me on a diet of Grape-Nuts with good cream and graham crackers, a little stale bread when I wanted 1t, and butter, but no meat and no medicine. t
 stIn two, months I got so I could sleep sound where before I used to walk the floor all night My sick feelings left me and I began to get we'll. I weaned the baby but she was very sickly and puny. The doctor said it would be a wonder if we ever raised her. Grape Nuts had done so much for me con- cluded to put her on the food. and got a coffee mill to grind it in. and gave it to her with good cream. She picked up very quickly and began to. gain flesh and strength. Now she has round ruddy face. is perfectly healthy. out doors all day and hungry all the time I am grateful. to the makers of the food that has. saved my life and given strength and health to my little girl" Name given by Postum O..
