one Of the leading figures on the stage
for nearly 10 years. Joseph Jefferson
has decided absolutely to retire and
VIII never resume his theatrical ca.
reer. He will spend this winter In
Florida recuperating his lost strength.
The famous comedian Is In very
delicate health and his friends today
thought he would not live very long.
He has been acting nearly seventy
years and Is now the most honored
and beloved member of the dramatic
profession
He was born In Philadelphia. Feb
ruary 20. 1929. and made his first
appearance as child In Pizzarro He
married Margaret Lockyer in 1S4S. Mr..
Jefferson made his first regular stoch
engagement in Texas In 1s43. and in
October 1914 he played a presumably
minor part in "Our American Couis-
in" but made the part the feature OF
the play and 1t ran 150 nights.
Later he became famous as Rip
Van Wrinkle playing this character
in America, England and Australia
for over thirty years Mr.. Jefferson's
hobbies are fishing and painting. His
most intimate friend is Grover Cleve-
land, He Is very rich man. three OF
his sons are now connected with the

game and II was even n better expo
sition Of ball than the previous day.
The visitors scored In four innings,
making . in the first. one In the 4th,
In the Sth. aud l in the 9th, while
Durango scored In three innings, one
each time. There were quite number
of exciting plays and at times It look
ed exceedingly good for Durango, but
luck always sided with the visitors
when Wilson didn't make tumble.
or course local fans wanted Duran
go to win. But no one need be sore.
All witnessed good ball playing And
1t is only right to concede that both
Silvcrton and the Gold King teams
were hooked up strong. When Glaze
can strike out iS men in one game
there is nothing to II and Baker was
also In good fettle.
Goodbye TO Durango ball playing
this season, but we desire to announce
right here that Durango will be In the
swim next year If 1t costs all the
profits of Durango newspapers.

SHINE WHEREVER YOU ARE.


Don't waste your time In longing
For bright, impossible things;
Don't sit supinely yearning
For the swiftness OF angel wings.
Don't spurn to be rushlight
Because you are not star;
But brighten som bit Of darkness
BY shining just where you are.
There is need Of the tiniest candle
AS well as the garish sun:
The humblest deed il ennobled
When 1t is worthily done.
You may never be called to brighten
The darkened regions afar.
So fill. for the day. your mission
BY shining just where you are.
Just where you are, my brother,
Just where God bids you stand.
Though down In the deepest shadow
Instead of the sunlit land.
You can carry brightness with you
That no gloom or darkness can mar
For the light OF Christian spirit
VIII be shining wherever you are
