The other day, was talking with a man,
when another person broke into the con-
versation, with something entirely !r-
relevant, and my friend, the man. turned
around upon the person, and said to me,
forsooth, when was the roll called? Did
you hear this persons name read out? II
not, what right has he to be butting in?"
And that gave me an idea, We hear a
great deal about people ''butting in," and
we hear very little about the gentle art
of "butting out"
We have been told by the Preacher" in
the book of Ecclesiastes, that there is a
time to do everything, or in his own words,
''To everything there is a season, and a
time TO every purpose under the heaven"
"A time to keep silence and a time to
speak"
Now, we are all very ready to take notice
of this last part of the text, but how about
the first part?
There is time to keep silence"
Omaha daily bee., 1903-06-21

This is the season of the year for the
press agent He is just now at work as
he never has worked before, and every
mail that comes brings to the dramatic
editors desk a bunch of letters detailing
the plans arranged for next season. Most
OF this information concerns the minor
stars, or persons who have never starred
and is therefore of little or no benefit to
anyone save the Individual referred to. It
is recognized by the managers that they
must have newspaper assistance or they
cannot succeed, and 20 this end they adopt
every known device to secure attention
for their stars during the time between the
closing of one season and TIE opening OF
the next. OF course this Is legitimate
move on the part of the managers, for they
are entitled 10 all the free advertising they
can get, and no one gets more free adver-
tising than the actor. not even the base
ball player. The conscientious newspaper
h often put to in its efforts to dis
criminate between the deserving and the
undeserving' though, and not infrequently,
both are made TO suffer together. Il sn't
difficult TO decide in matters OF legitimate
news, but to choose between the unmiti-
gated puffs that are asked is a task too
delicate for an ordinary mortal TO attempt.
For this reason, II for no other, The Bee
has long held 20 the rule OF dealing with
actors as 1t does with all others, waiting
until they come to Omaha before passing
judgment on them. This rule is stated for
the Information OF some people who wonder
why they do not get more information
about the plans for the coming seasons
campaign. The Bee is never backward in
giving legitimate news, but its advertising
space is for sale

When pupil of a piano teacher is sur
rounded by crowd of people who are
hostile to that teacher, and when the pupil
feels that his, or her, teacher is being
abused, vilihed, and criticised, and the pupil
knows that the gossiping tongues of the
people are uttering falsehood, then is
good time to keep quiet-to let the teachers
worth and ability stand for itself--to ignore
the jealous criticism and remember the
gentle are of butting out"
There is more harm done "butting in"
in such case, than there is good ac-
complished. As a general thing, beware
of entrance TO quarrel" especially when
you see that TO convince some men against

you can. 1t will be serving your teachers

Are you a violinist? Well. when they talk
to you about your teacher and say that he
lacks temperament, and that his tone is
scrubby, and that you ought to be with
someone else, remember that by their
fruits ye shall know them" and If he s
getting good results with other pupils,
which of course you have seen, II you have
carefully selected your teacher, you should
defend your teacher by a simple statement
that you are satisfied. and that they, the
friends" have no more right to discuss
your teacher, than they have to abuse your
tailor: and then "butt out" just as quickly
as you can.

And then there is another thought in
this direction.
When you hear a person sing or play do
not find fault with some detail of the
performance. Be convinced OF whatever
good there may be there, and let 1t go at
that!
Do not, I beg of you. do not say, Yes
that was very good, in many ways,
but"
There is a good time to leave the But"
out But me no butts" said a celebrated
writer,
And herein is a good philosophy. Do not
praise thing with a but at the end of
1t.
If It is good enough to merit your praise
see If 1t is not good enough for you to
leave that Rpoogetic and cowardly but"
out of 1t,
Think only of the good in the perform

thought returns to you an hundred fold

Truth is always self-affirmative, and it
needs no argument, but 1t does need a
condition of preparedness for its reception.
If you are working with a single eye to
the best development, learning here and
there, and everywhere whatsoever you can,
you will find that in your composition
there is no room for slander of other
persons who are also doing their best

Parks remind one Of chorus girls-just
why It isn't really necessary to state-and
this calls to mind the fact that very
decided change has come over managerial
methods during the last year or two. II
is a distinct advance, too. one of the OBJ
jects Of the manager not the least either,
Is to attract people to his theater. He Is
willing to adopt almost any legitimate ex-
pedlent to do this. And Just now he is
batting with lovely femininIty. Last year
The Bee called attention to the Punishment
OF the tights and the substitution Of
ohoruses dressed in attractive street or
house gowns. and commented at the time
on the decided Improvement of the innova-
tion And now the correctly gowned chorus

radiantly beautiful SHOW girl" What is a
"show girl?" Just that and nothing more.
She Is hired to show TO look pretty, to
make the picture" and when she has done
that her usefulness to the piece is fulfilled.
1t is not at all essential that the show
girl be a singer. She is merely on the stage
to look swell charming, chic. dashing or
whatever her particular line may be. on
the stage she is a perambulating adver-
tisement. She is expected TO be seen in

the manager. One of her trials Is 20 stand
for whatever the press agent in his wisdom
chooses to publish concerning her. Miss So
and-So is in her dressing room, when a
tap is heard at the door. 1t is the press
agent OF the show, and he says; Miss So.

RUSHING THE TREATY.
Special Train Will Garry 1t to and
From Panama.

A cablegran from Colon last night says:
II is proposed, when the messenger bear
ing the Panama canal treaty reaches Colon
December / to have a special train ready
TO transport him quickly across the isthmus
to Panama, where the treaty will be i'm
nediately signed by the members of the
junta.
The train meantime will be kept waiting.
and when the treaty has been signed its
bearer will be promptly brought back to
Colon.
The steamer Yucatan. due to sail Decem-
ber / for New York, will be delayed until
the messenger arrives, when he VIII en-
bark on the Yucatan, thus starting for
New York on the same day that he arrives.
This proposal is meeting with some op-
posit on those desiring to discuss the treaty
at length fearing that it's terms will be too
favorable to the United States. 1t is prob
able. however. that this opposition will be
overcome.

years American consul at Annoy, but now

Consul Goodnow does not look for war
in the orient, but believes that the exist

between the contending nations. He ex-
presses himself highly pleased with the
new Chinese treaty, which he declares is
of great Importance to the United States.
Dr BedlOe says the Japanese are eager
for war with Russia and that the former
have no fear OF the result He claims that
the japanese are stronger as a naval force
in the east than Russia and steadily
strengthening their fleet by converting a
number of mail steamers. recently pur-
chased, into armOred cruisers.
The alliance between Great Britain, Ger

here was the biggest since 1874. The in

the homeless and the dwellers in cellars.

have been driven into the streets. many of
them losing their all. The authorities are
doing everything in their power to relieve
the sufferers. and there have been few ia

rying home at the sound of warning guns
who found their children drowned. The
destruction of property was heavy, espe-
cially at Cronstadt. The RATS and barges
in the river were smashed and the live
stock in the environS were drowned
