Theatre "Oon'ts"

Don't stand in the lobby and stare at
the women coming out.
Dont hiss the villain. He is not as
black as he paints himself.
Don't envy the kissing on the stage.
All is not gold that Cutters.
Don't think a play is bad because
you never heard of the author.
Don't stand up and survey the audi
ence through your opera glasses.
Don't think you own the theatre be :
cause you are giving a theatre party.
Don't go out to see a man between
the acts unless you have an aisle seat.
Don't hum. Your neighbor may pre-
fer to hear the music from the stage.
Don't ventilate your opinion of dra-
matte art for the benefit of your neigh
Dor.
Don't volunteer information to your
/ neighbOrs. Let them seek enlighten-
ment.
Don't blame the usher If your seat is
behind a post. He didn't build the
theatre.
Don't squeeze your girls hand all
through the play. Wait till the lights
are low
Don't tell how $50 and So" played
that part. Comparisons are odious and
tiresome.
Don't pound on the floor with a cane
or umbrella. This is considered bad
form.
Don't fall in love with the leading
man, girls. His affections are centred
in himself.
Don't fail to beg pardon of those who
rise in order to let you pass to your
seat.
Don't tell your companion the story
OF the play. He may prefer to get it
from the actors.

Brockton Enterprise: The reports

Rotation in Pastorates.
II NUN bOI u, S"CIct"rJ y.
Bangor, April 18th. 1904.

At recent conference of the Metho-
dists of the state of New York. a large
element, which, however, proved to be
in the minority, attempted to have the
gathering declare itself in favor of go
ing back to the old plan of setting
limit to the number of years which Il
minister should spend in the work Of
any one church. In many of the states,
including our own. such a time limit to
pastors is still maintained by the Meth
Odists. but a few years it was abolished
in New York. and this attempt to re-
turn to it shows that the change has
not been universally satisfactory i'll
that great religious body. A century
ago it was Il rule with the church that
every Methodist minister should move
every year. Gradually this limit OF
service was raised by various coEfer-
ences, and i'm 1858 the New York confer
encc fixed the limit there as five years.
In 1900 that conference abolished the
tllIlt llIIilt, anu has INV ttluStu Wy Al
substantial majority to make it once
more a regulation of the church.
The reason for itineracy, as this sys-
TEN of frequent changes is called, was
that it added to the zeal OF both the
pastor and his flock, and kept them
from falling into ruts, but in most
places 1t was soon discovered that such
frequent changes kept things stirred up
too much and discouraged efficient and
continuous work by pastors. who We're
forced 70 move on as soon as they had
really begun to be of some service i'll
their new field. Therefore the time
limit was gradually extended until in
some states, as in New York, it was al
together abolished. The return to it
would seem to be a step backward.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

1t is high art in n woman to learn to
blush at things there is no need to.
It's the man who won't have a boss
in politics that knuckles under to one
at home.
A wOman's idea of good husband
is one who will let her boss the man
who is making the garden, though he
really knows how to do it,
a woman's idea of rrincely fortune
would be to be able to go buy a sixty
dollar hat and give starving beggar
on the way a nickel.
A woman is very proud of herself
when she has faith enough in a man to
believe he is working ut the office when
she knows he is at the race track

The people of southeastern Maine are
justified in being alarmed at the ap-
pearance of the much dreaded brown
tail moth which has raised such havoc
in Massachusetts, and caused that state
the expenditure of vast sums of money
to protect and preserve its trees. The
authorities are justified in taking
prompt measures and there. can seem
no doubt that they will be backed up
financially. A few dollars used at this
time will save hundreds and thousands
later.

Senator Hoar, after one of the Nor
mon hearings in Washington, said:
"A Mormon once argued polygamy
with Mark Twain. The Mormon in
sisted that polygamy was moral, and he
defied Twain to cite any passage of
Scripture that forbade the practice.
:. Well said the humorist, how
about that passage that tells us no
man can serve two masters?'
Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell the writer, was
talking at her home in New York about
servants.
Il have been reading" she said,
John Forster's Life of Dickens and
the book has reminded me OF the
pompOus FOrster's body servant,
Henry. Dickens described Henry dur
ing his last visit to America.
THE man, it seems, was devoted to
his master. From one years end to the
other he never needed a reprimand.
1T was therefore surprising one
night when Forster was entertaining
several writer's at dinner to see the
scrupulous Henry make error after
Forster uttered a cry of alarm. He
and his master said, Why, Henry"
Altogether. he made the excellent din
ner seem a slovenly and poor repast.
when, at the end, he had set the
port and walnuts on the table, Henry
leaned over FOrster'S chair and said in

TO demonstrate the quality of our

one of them, to lock it, to build a great
fire around it, and to leave it in the
flames for twenty-four hours. At the
end of the twenty-four hours we open
the safe and the cat leaps out, I'M

he said, and kept it surrounded with
fire for a week. At the end of the week

was in?'
