STARTED AS OFFICE BOY
AT NOTHING A WEEK.

WASHINGTON, March 24.--Be
good to the Office boy, is one moral
illustrated by the career of Congress
man William Alden Smith. Be good
to the office boy, for the day may
come when he can return the favor
with interest. 1t happened this way:
Smith had warked up from being
newsboy popcorn vendor and train
butcher, till he stood at the thresh-
old of the law That was in 1879.
He thought first of beginning in
Chicago, and he applied for place
as office boy in the firm of Walker
mer, and the heads were all out of
town. and he ended by returning to
Grand Rapids. Here he picked the
firm of Burch & Montgomery, decid-
ing to honor them with his pres
ence. He had suggested it before.
but they had not needed him, and
when he got back he was confronted
by a closed Office and a card on the
door, saying they were out of town
and would not be back for several
weeks.
But tlllS ulu not udunt oIltI'
got a pass key to the office from Mr.
Pierce, the owner of the building.
And so it happened, when Judge
Burch came home. he found his Of
flee swept and garnished, and a
brisk young clerk diligently read
ing at one of the desks. To the in
quiries of the judge, the young fell
low replied that he had come to
stay; that he was the office boy, at
nothing a week. All he wanted, he
said. was a chance to make himself
useful, and incidentally to read lit
tie law. Things looked so clean and
the young chap was so respectfully
determined to remain that Judge
Burch good-naturedly asquiesced.
In seven years Smith was a mem
Der of the firm. In seven years more
he was part owner in the principal
newspaper in the place, and propri-
etor of a branch railroad. In another
seven years he had added two more

railroads to his assets, was in con-
gress and a wealthy man. Mean
time. the wheel of fortune had been
turning; Montgomery is on the bench
of the Michigan supreme court; Judge
Burch, through the influence of his
former Office boy, had been appointed
assistant to the United States attor-
ney general and resides in Washing
ton; while Pierce, who had met with
financial reverses. was rewarded for
the pass key which he had given
Smith by an appointment as assistant
sergeant-at-arms of the United States
house of representatives.
William Alden Smith is one of the
best types of the selfmade man in
congress. He is a little more than
the successful money getter or pol
itician. He has added to these
achievements what many men sue
cussful in the other respects never
are able to master, namely. the So
called Social graces." Although ed
ucated in the common schools, Dart
mouth college has seen fit to confer
on him it's master of arts degree,
anu ne has acquired lildl hIOWltuSe
for the classification of which the
polite world has borrowed from the
French "savoir faire" and CONNIE
il fault" Which, being translated,
means that he would not eat with
his knife. use the wrong forks, or
wear a red tie with evening clothes.
William Alden, as he Is usually
called, began his political experience
as page in the Michigan Legislature
He has been eight years in congress.
He is as alert as Beveridge, has a
smooth, ot-to-be-ruffled manner, can
make very pretty speech, is a good
lawyer and business man of the mod
ern day combination and has a pleas
ant confidence in his own destiny,
witch would make the three fates
change their minds. In addition,
there is a large, healthy wife, who
believes in William, and tactfully sec
onds the motion. So he is very likely
to be United States senator.

NEW YORK, March 24.-The mat

douine family has been doing some
acrobatic stunts in the brief three
years of its domestic life. Jack, who
is known to swelldom as a dashing

final separation by his second wife,
who was formerly Miss May Alden

The couple were married August /,

As "HA6DA. !"
Young Tragedienne Makes
Decidedly Favorable
Impression.
SUPPORT IS EXCELLENT

Nance O'Neil chose wisely in Sc
lecting "Magda" as the opening bill
for her four nights engagement at
the Spokane theater. The character
of Magda is intensely strong. a char
acter that runs almost the entire
gamut of human emotions.
1t is the life story Of a woman mis-
understood, of woman who grew
tired of her cramped home surround
ings and whose soul rebelled against
the narrow views Of parental au-
thority.
In fact, the character of Magda Is
the entire play and Sudermann seems
to have exhausted so much Of his
talent in building up this part that
none was left for the lesser lights
that are grouped about her.
Except when Magda is on the
stage the play is densely stupid, dull
and tiresome. Like all modern prob
lem plays, the other characters are
mere feeders and the lines allotted
them are vapid and inane. There is a
mawkishly sentimental love affair.
for instance. which becomes dull as
dishwater compared with the suffer-
ing of Magda through love.
The love lavished upon her son,
illegitimate child as he is, brings par
don to this world-worn woman, de-
spite her confessed sin.
The droning goodness of the par
patty and the cowardly actions of
Magda's former lover, Won Keller
excite only contempt
Miss O'Neill has improved wonder
fully in her art. She is forceful
without ranting In the dramatic
scenes of the play, although slightly
stitlted in the lighter passages. Her
work in the third and fourth acts is
to be particularly commended.
This young tragedienne has youth,
looks, superb physique and a mag
nificent voice. attributes that are es-
sential to dramatic genius. What
she may lack in personal magnetism
is made up in dramatic power. Her
Magda is a creation not easily for
gotten.
That excellent old actor, Mckee
Rankin, as the father. gives a really
fine Interpretation of the only char
acter besides that of Magda which is
given any opportunity in the play.
Were it not for Mr.. Rankin's art one
would be compelled to say that the
first act should be forgotten as quick
ly as possible. The playwright's heavy
attempts at comedy are soggy-not to
say eXasperating.
l.. r. Stockwell is another fine old
actor-but he wasn't given any
chance to prove it last night.
E. j. Radcliffe gives consistent
performance of the minister and
Charles A. Millward is good as Dr.
Won Keller.
Miss Agnes Rankin makes n charm
ing Marie and Miss Ricca Allen is
clever as Aunt Franziska Mrs.
Charles w Brooke as Mrs. Schwartz
also deserves praise.
The audience last night was highly
appreciative and Miss O'Neil was
forced to respond to numerous curtain
calls.

looked roster. 1t lasted for two days.
Another quarrel. Another separation
and Jack allowed Mrs. Baudoune to
have custody of their only child, with
an allowance of $50 a week. The suit
for separation is now brought, it is
alleged by Jacks attorneys, in order
to increase this allowance and to
make the separation final and COM
plete.
Jack has the custody of the three
children by his first wife and it is
also limited that he is about to be
reconciled with her.
Jack has other troubles besides
marital woes. for it is claimed that
some of his creditors are determined
to find out how as a bankrupt he can
enjoy an income of something like
$4,000 a year.

The grain crops in this section
are looking fine. The farmers do
not give the attention to their grain
crops that they should. The land
should be welt prepared and q sufi-
cient supply Of fertilizer put Oh the
land. Our opinion is that all land
that is to be sown should be plough
ed from eight TO ten inches deep and
then the grain narrowed under. In
this way the grain is not likely to
freeze out.
Every section of farming country
should have q farmers club. The
farmers should meet and discuss sub
i7cts that would be of interest to the
farming class of people. They ehould
get supply of books and have a
library. In this way all the farmers
that were members could get nice
line of books on farming to read at a
small cost. We would be glad to
hear from other correspondents on
this subject.
The road from here to Leesville ia
in very bad condition. We can
never expect to have any better roads
until there is some permanent work
done on them.
The Ssluda chaingang was on our
road last summer and did the road
more harm than good. There could
be plenty of rock hauled from this
section to make permanent road all
the way from here to Leesville.
It seems as if there would be more
economy in building permanent
road than in always doing so much
work on the road and then it being
almost impossible every winter.
