A story Of Carlyle's judgment

Among the many good stories told
concerning Carlyle this is not the least
good Carlyle took friend and a
much younger man out walking with
him and in his usual way indulged
in Il monOlogue, in which, nevertheless,
his companion was much interested.
Once or twice, however, the friend ven
tured to put in word or two of OBJ
lection in regard to something said by
Carlyle. This annoyed Carlyle intense
ly. and when they reached home he
turned upon his companion and ad-
dressed to him the following warning:
Young man. I'd have ye to Know that
we've the capacity for being the great
est bore in Europe The poor man had
hardly spoken dozen words. but since
these had been critical they had made
him seem to Carlyle potential bore Of
colossal proportions"

A Battle of I,SnEuagcS

Three or four languages Strove for
mastery in ancient Gaul, which is now
France. German WAS spoken by the
1000 Frank invaders. Popular Latin
was spoken by 6,OOO,OOO Gallo Romans.
Literary Latin was the language of the
church and of literature. Low Latin
was afterward the language of the nd-
miniStration. German was the first to
succumb. In four centuries it ceased to
be understood by the soldiers, and in
seventy years more it had become an
object Of ridicule But it survives in
more than 900 words, expressing TIN,
things Of government, law and war.
and thus forms no insignificant part Of
the French language

KNOCKED OUT
Took a Clergyman from the Pulpit.

Vook clergyman from the Pulpit.
How improper food knocked out a min

from the pulpit and a simple change of

i had suffered untold misery from con-
Situation although I tried nearly every
remedy heard Of and got only temporary
relief The constipation brought on va
rious other troubles ana finally broke my
whole system down
"On the following January l entered
the hospital physical wreck after TWO
operations for constipation. Ny diet was
o source Of much worry.
zone day my wife heard something
about Grape-Nuts food and insisted on
my trying it. So she got some and | be-
san eating Grape-Nuts without even an
Idea il would cure my constipation But
that's what il did for day by day l got
better and stronger and the result is

Simply by the change Of diet alone
Grape-Nuts food completely cured the
constipation. something all the operations
and medicines and remedies couldn't do

|
1t is a matter for hearty congratula-
ton that Manager Martling has been able
to secure a visit of that most popular
of present day comedians, Harry Corson
Clarke, who will then present his own
| selected company in Rosenfields best
| comedy, His Absent Boy" Mr.. Clarke
| is comedian of world wide reputation,
| and his name at the head of a company
! is sufficient guarantee of an evenings en-
tertainment over which neither money nor
time has been spared to make it in every
way on par with the best that can be
desired both in company and production.
Mr.. Clarke has never believed in lone
| man companies, but has ever gone on
the policy that what the public wants is
an even and we'll balanced performance.
For this reason he has spared nothing in
order to srround himself with actors and
actresses who will keep up the high stand
ard he has set for himself. 1t is his pride.
too, that his productions are ever ODE
remembered for their costly mountings,
and the magnificent gowns of the ladies'
And this year he has fallen short in no
respect of his previous endeavors His
play gives him. it is said, greater oppor-
tunity than any vehicle he has yet had.
He has in it a role that fits him admra-
bly,, and that gives him a chance to ap-
pear once again In the character of a gay
old boy of about fifty years. This central
figure round whose misfortunes the story
of the play reVolves is one Pennie, whose
domestic troubles are the source of the
fun. Himself a lover of gaiety Pennie
suffers from a wife who is strong willed
and who rules the house and all that are
in it. She even allows her husband Just
so much pocket money, and he in order to
increase the amount has invented for her
benefit a story of an absent boy. the off
spring of a former marriage whom he
has to support and so has obtained an
extra hundred dollars each month The
play is taken up with the incidents that
occur when the wife BIDS him invite the
boy to come home, and he seems to he
on the verge of discovery There Is per-
haps nothing so comical as comical de-
spair. and Harry Corson Clarke is a past
master at the art Of depicting it. The
part fits him like glove. and he gets
plenty of opportunity for the display of
that fund of quaint dry humor that has
given him prominence in all parts of the
country Clever and pretty Margaret
Dale Owen heads the support as the
shrewish wife, and sustains her high po-
sition to the fullest advantage In fact
the whole production is pleasing even to
the most captious of critics, and is of an
order that is rarely seen on the road to-
day. None who enjoy hearty laughter in
any quantities can afford TO miss so ster-
ling an attraction, which will be seen here
for tonight only.
