Dan palx as John Henry,

Klaw & Erlanger's spring production
this season will be George V. Hobart amt
Edward e. Roses now American farce,
John Henry" in which Dan DAILY Will
play the title role. 1t will receive its pre-
miere in Philadelphia May IL, and, after
two weeks in that cisy, will be presented
OF the Herald Square Theatre IN New York
for a run. opening Monday evening, May
25th
The foundation of the story of the new
laugh maker is comic incidents from Mr.
Hobart's humorous sketches of the same
title, which, published In four small vol
umes, have made the record. breaking sale
of 265, 00o copies.
The character of John Henry in these
books Is unique and enc entirely new in
light literature. His philosophy Is that cf
the vigorous young man OF the period he
always expresses himself IN original slang,
remarkable for expressiveness and colo
quail piquancy," possessing the merit or
the unexpected In his humor, and diff
fering materially from any funny type OF
American life heretofore created by the
comic writer, in that he represents high
social plane and Is surrounded by such
people in the experiences which he so face
tiously describes in language mainly un-
authorized by the photographers, but with
out being course or repellent.
Mr. Hobart and Mr.. Rose have translat-
ed John Henry - with all his strong indl-
viduality and merry revel in original ex-
-travagance of speech to the stage in an at
tractiye story, into which they have inter
woven his most comic adventures and the
characters which have most interested thu
hundreds of thousands of readers who have
laughed to the limit of human endurance
in their perusal of these sketches This
role is one peculiarly suited TO Mr. DAILY,
who will make his first appearance in years
In comedy part outside a musical pro-
duction. In personality. natural drollery
of speech and stage methods he is exactly
suited to 1t.
The stage story of John Henry" will be
told in three acts; the scenes representing
the rotunda of the Manhattan Hotel in
New York city. Doves Nest Villa in Ru-
raliene, and the railroad station In this
New York suburb. In scenic equipment
and costuming this production will be ex-
ceptionally elaborate. One of the scenes
will be distinct novelty, and will repre-
sent a most advanced evidence of the pro-
gress of American stagecraft.

EDWIN ]. HILL AND RICHARD W. RIRDEL
jackies are covertly if not openly ac-
knowledged to be without peers behind
the gun.
The names of the two sailors who
made the wonderful record of eight
consecutive hits at 1000 yards with Is
inch guns while their ship was bowl
ing along at a speed of ten knots an
hour are Edwin j. Hill and Richard W.
Riedel. Both were brought up far
from salt water. More remarkable still
is the fact that neither of the marks
men had ever fired Is inch gun be-
fore.
AS conclusive proof that the marks
manship was no fiuke, but an assur-
ance Of deadly aim, Is the fact that the
holes in the target were clean cut cir
cles and that the entire eight of them
were made one after another in rapid
succession. Two of the shots were fred
in two minutes and twenty seconds.
1t was on April 2 that the record was
made. The Indiana was out for target
practice off Pensacola, Fla. Hill and
Riedel had shown proficiency with the
smaller guns, and Captain Emory de-
cided to give them chance with the
biggest cannon aboard ship.
Richard w. Riedel is cockswain
and Edwin J. Hill boatswain, second
class. Hill is native of Bellefonte,
Pa, and has been in the navy FIVE
years. Riedel is a Chicagoan and has
been in the service only since 1900.
Both these sharp eyed jackies are
slated for early promotion.

SMALLEST LOCOMOTIVE.
Cranberry Lake Will have Miniature
Railroad this Summer as One
of it's Attractions.

A miniature locomotive was placed
on exhibition few days ago in the
Hoboken Ferry Station of the Lacka-
wanna Railroad which is one of the
best lilliputian representations OF the
great railroads of the country. The
engine has just been turned out OF the
Kingsland shops of that road, and is a
standard eight-wheel, American type,
with four coupled drivers. 1t is five
feet four inches in length; Is inches
wide and 2S inches from rail to top of
smokestack. The cylinders are two
inches in diameter with a stroke OF
four inches. The boiler is built OF steel
and has stood a test of 400 pounds to
the square inch. The engine complete
weighs 900 pounds. 1t will be taken
to Cranberry Lake, the Companys Ex-
cursion Resort, where a track 1000 feet
long is being constructed, and it will
haul train of ten cars during the
summer months. 1t attracts consid-
cradle attention from the thousands
of commuters who pass through the
Hoboken terminal daily, and is espe-
cially pleasing to the young folks, it
being the smallest locomotive in the
world

ITO boil water would seem to be a
very simple thing" says a writer in
the Boston Cooking School Magazine,
land yet the late Charles Delmonico
used to say that very few people know
how to do it. The secret is,' he said,
in putting good fresh water into a
kettle, already quite warm, setting the
water to boiling quickly and then tax
ing it right off for use in tea, coffee or
other drinks before 1t is spoiled. To
let it steam and simmer and evaporate
until the good water is in the atmos-
phere and only the lime and iron and
dregs left in the kettle is what makes
great many people sick, and it is
worse than no water at ALL For wa
ter boiled like this and favored with
few drops of lemon juice Mr.. Delmon-
leo used to charge as much as for his
best liquors, and he often recommend
ed it to his customers and friends who
complained Of loss of appetite. It is
worth irving"

Some ships had in the long ago,
And beautiful ships were they,
But over the wide and bounding deep
My ships have sailed away.
Never, no, never, will they return,
My beautiful ships, to me,
For all are wrecked on a distant shore
Or sunk in the sounding sea.
The one named YOUTH in its ardent pride,
With its flags and pennants gay,
AS it sailed along so brave and strong,
Has silently sped away.
Fast DER the deep like a bird it flew,
With banners and sails SO free,
Till lost from view and forever gone
Far over the deep blue sea.
And one called Fame, a gilded bark,
And priced by conquering kings,
AS on it sailed like blissful dream
AS light as Zephyrus' wings.
1t left no wake as it sailed along,
Nor bays of the hero for me.
| saw it fade as it spread it's sails
Far out on the bounding sea.
And one was Wealth; twas a gorgeous
craft,
With its masts and spars of gold,
And decks aglow with glittering gems
Whose value could ne'er be told
And then away Ger the waves it sailed
More treasure to bring for me-
IT'S buried now in the rolling deep;
It sank In the bounding sea.
And Pleasure one, and fairer ship
Meier sailed on the ocean blue,
The shrouds and masts with flowers en-
twined
And garlands of brilliant hue.
The tables with luscious fruits were
spread,
And richest of sweets for me,
But it sailed away; it left no trace;
1t sank in the rolling sea.
Now far away on the pillows crest
A light of the purest ray
Shines bright as the Star of Bethlehem
That shone on the magi's way
TITS Hope, tits Hope, my beautiful ship,
Returning once more to me
And bringing me balm and peace and joy
From over the raging sea.

How to Make Sealing wax

Six ounces of resin, four of red lead
two of vermilion and two of powdered
shellac melted together will make the
best red sealing wax. For black wax
the best ivory black is substituted for
the red lead and vermilion, for green
verdigris is used, for blue the coloring
matter is verditer or smalt, for yellow
chrome and for purple mixture of
vermilion and smalt. Sealing wax is
often scented with little balsam Of

Be careful not to confound politeness
with the automatic following of social
rules, says the Chicago Record Herald.
Do not seek to do only as others do,
even if 1t is the very makers Of the So
cial laws. Preserve your originality.
No one may move wholly according to
rules and be natural. Remember that
a bit of the milk of human kindness, a
few grains Of good common sense,
mixed well with desire to do unto
Others" is a splendid recipe for success
in most walks OF life.

Brother Bill was Teller so skeered of
mistakes
That he didn't do nothin' at all
He criticised others fur maxim small
breaks.
But he didn't do nothin' at all.
He'd stand by the hour with his hand on
his heart
An talk about taxes, religion or art,
An we all said that Bill was uncommonly
smart,
But he didn't do nothin' at all.
Us boys went ahead, an we worked with
will,
But he didn't do nothin' at all,
An some of 'em turned up their noses at
Bill
Cause he didn't do nothin' at ALL
But Bill is the pride of the family today;
They put him in congress. well out of the
way,
An he's takin' life easy an DRAWN his
pay,
An he doesn't do nothln' at all.

He Did Am He Could.

He did all he could to be hearty and
strong;
The trouble he took was surprising,
But nothing he tried seemed to help him
along;
His weakness was past all Disgusting.
He took iron tablets and essence of steel
And tonics whose taste was as bad as
their smell
And pepsin before. also after each meal,
Yet he seldom felt well.
He never fed rashly; his diet he'd choose
BY formulse quite scientific;
steak or a chop he would sternly refuse,
But the way he ate oats was terrific.
He gorged on chopped feed and on millet
and bran
And such stuffs sanitariums sell,
But in spite of it all it's fact that the
man
Hardly ever felt well.
He slept in draft on a pillowless bed
That was hard as Gehenna's gate
hinges.
He bathed in ice water, thing that he
said
Ought to help his rheumatical twfnges
Also Indian clubs and dumbbells would he
swing
Until with exhaustion he fell:
So it seems-does it not?-a remarkable
thing
That he seldom felt well.

Letter to Mr.. c. Glover,
Oskaloosa, Iowa.

Dear Sir: You buy your horse.
shoes and nails; your grandfather,
if he was a blacksmith, made 'em.
You can't afford to hammer them out
by hand, when you can buy as good,
or better perhaps, ready made to
your hand, for a little more than the
cost Of the iron.
What do you think of a painter
who goes on buying his linseed oil
and whitehead, and mixing, and
tinting by hand, and charging his
time for work that is far better-done
than he can do it; done by machin,
cry; done as lyour horseshoes ano
nails are made.
Mistake isn't it?
He is wasting his chance in the
world. There Is no better stuff to dc
business with than good horssshoes
and paint; and no better work thar
putting them on. Good horseshoet
well put N: It's the putting 'em OF
that makes you q blacksmith; nc
matter who makes 'em.
Who wants to go back to old times
and make his own horseshoes?
Between us two, that painter don't
know how to make good paint-he
used to; but paint has u away from
him.
