Columbia.

That remarkable family Of fun
makers, the Four Cohans, provoked
more hilarity in the Columbia Theater
last evening than the oldest habitue
Of the house had ever heard at a single
sitting. The middle act of their mu-
sical comedy, Running for Office" left
the big and fashionable audience so
fatigued with laughing that an imme-
date repetition would certainly have
proved homicidaL Men and women
fairly screamed while the curtain was
up, and when it fell they just lay back
Imply in their seats and silently jol-
lied as they thought II over.
Saying that is not insinuating that
either the first or final act was bar
rem of fun. Indeed the entire piece
fairly bristled with snappy lines, hu-
morously quaint Characterization and
side-splitting situations. But the
clean and keen wit of the initial act
was merely a sort of gradual prepara-
ton for the uproarious jollity of the
second section and the third was a
merciful tapering off to a giggling
finish.
The book was written by George M.
Cohan, and the whimsical spirit of his
authorship was reflected in his acting
of the leading part. To describe his
method would be no less difficult a task
than to review the marvellous compli-
cations in which he plunged his char
acters and then deftly disentangled
them. His comedy style is absolutely
distinctive and the quiet naturalness
of his parents and sister contribute
nightly toward its effectiveness. The
quartet work together as no equal
number of player folk ever harmonized.
Young Mr.. Cohan composed the mu-

1t is his construction and logical dis
solution of complicated situations that
constitute his greatest worth as a pro-
ducer of entertainment.
Aside from the Cohans, there is a
big company of people who evidently
were enlisted with a particular view
to their fitness for the roles respect

large and pretty and .vocally clever
chorus The plot as a whole is rather
impossible, but the sub-plots are so
numerous and clever as to make one
cease attempting to find Conference in

AS a show for laughing purposes,

Two Whistler Stories.

Anecdotes of the late Jimmy
Whistler, the painter, have abound
ed of late. Here is a new one: When
an intimate friend of his was to be
married he promised to attend. The
bridal party reached the church, but
Whistler was nowhere to be seen.
A telegram was handed to the
groom when about to proceed to
the altar which read:
Gam detained. Don't wait; can't
reach the church in time-get mar
ried. Blessings all the same"
The caustic little artist used to
say that one of the smartest things
he ever heard was said by a friend,
Howard Paul, who was about to ca
ress a huge dog, the glare of whose
eye suggested ferocity.
Don't be afraid" said Whistler
encouragingly. Look at his tail
how it wags. When dog wags his
tail he's in a good humor."
"That may be-" replied Paul, 'Gbut
observe the wild glitter in his eye.

ceived by the pupils from their par
ents and guardians upon their i'm
lprovement in this respect.
The pupils are especially good in
concert recitations and in declama
ton. Some are excellent readers !;
Others take great pains with their
problems in arithmetic. The inn
provement in their department has
been very great. and short talks Of
the teacher upon practical themes
has had a very beneficial result.
Nothing has been left unsaid or
undone or untried that could be Of
profit to them.
With all of this she has also done
the work of an evangelist, giving
them instruction out of the word,
and praying for and with them.
Numbers have been converted dur
ing this session OF school, and near
ly if not quite all of the girls are
trying to live a Christian life. Ev-
cry evening a short service is held
in which the girls take part, and
sometimes lead the service. Even
the little ones who have services in
their dornitory, lead in prayer, and
make very definite, intelligent pc
titions for themselves and friends,
or some person for whom prayer has
been requested.
We praise the Lord for all He has
done for us here, for He has proved
Himself hearer and answerer of be-
lieving prayer, and we are looking
for still greater and better things in
the future.
There is a great need of better
equipments for the school room. A
new globe aad maps and physiolgi-
cal charts should be provided before
the commencement of another
school term. These would greatly
help in the explanations, and sim
pliiy the methods of instruction.
forgot to mention that the teacher
beautitied the school with pictures
and plants and even cleaned and
alabastined (if may use the word)
the walls in order to make the room
more attractive for the girls. The
piano was moved in and is used in
the opening exercises. Next year
she expects to be preaching the word
in China, a definite call having
been given her to work in that far
off land. We praise the Lord that
he lent her to us for few months
before calling her out into this lar
ger field of labor.

Hadley lndust'I School for Girls.

he six months term of school at
the Hadley Industrial School and
Home for Girls, is nearly finished.
To say that the very best efforts OF
the teacher have been put forth to
make it success, and to inspire
within the mind of each girl desire
to do her best in her studies and IN
everything which builds good foun-
dation for future education, habits,
character and usefulness, fails to
express the energy OF her endeavors
to make this in every respect the
most successful term OF school ever
taught in the Home.
Her teaching and her life have
been an exemplification OF Christian
teaching and a Christian life, de-
monstrating the efficiency OF the
mower of God when the Holy Spirit
has the right of way in person.
The school consists OF the same
grades of any public school in the
country. The examinations are as
carefully conducted, written exam
nations being required, and one
who passes in the Sth grade OF the
school is entitled to county diplo-
ma. =,
The school is a district by itself,
and the teacher is required to obtain
a county certificate in order to draw
the state money to which it is enti-
tied. The teaching has been most
thorough, and up to date methods
are followed and the teacher has
succeeded in enthusing her pupils
with an ambition to express their
ideas upon paper to that extent that
a marked Improvement has been
made in composition and letter writ
ing.

Necessity Invents New Spelling.

In a certain newspaper Office the
editor was driven nearly frantic by
one of his staff who persisted in sub
mitting typewriter copy with the
letters If" and *" omitted where
they should have appeared. A sharp
letter of remonstrance elected the
following reply:

as follows: How few Of US are really
our own boss The married men
are subject to their wives, the bach
slors obey their landlady, the old
maids cater to their cats and poodles,
while all of us bow to that weak
thing called public opinion. We
come into this world without our
consent, we leave it against protest,
and while here kick at everything
that crosses our path, but all to no
purpose. The old world goes on,
not caring whether we live or die,
laugh or cry, shout or sigh, not car
ing farthing why, till we kick up
our heels and die and then maybe
we freeze or fry.

The Philosophy Of the Nom. Smoker.

There have been great and good
men who smoked there are great
men today who smoke. But have
found out that the greater the man
the stronger his aversion for the
abominable habit and a great many
sensible men are fighting with all
their power to give il up.
The pet excuse OF the smokers is
that smoking "invites thoughts y
Imagine yourself just rescued from
"a watery grave, standing on the
beach, shivering with cold. Are
you in a position to admire the
grandeaur of the ocean or the sub
Unity of sunset? OF course not.
1t makes no difference even if
you're of very high poetic temper
ament and may be, unconsciously,
slightly impressed with the beauty
surrounding you. You cannot ex-
press yourself because you are
physically incapacitated.
So with the smoker. He may
dream by watching the Impressions
on the grey matter, but ne is de-
stroying those channels through
which thought is expressed.
What good is the dreaming in
such case? The next time you
envelop yourself in cloud ofsmoke,
to set the thinking apparatus in mo-
ton, this is what you ought to me-
ditate on.
Every time that bios d brings up
a cargo of venous blood to discharge
into that wonderful laboratory, the
atmosphere, if you are sitting in a
cloud of smoke, how does the blood
get the oxygen necessary for its
renovation?
No wonder you feel a assitude
every time you smoke. You are
destroying the tone OF your system.
The blood returning in just as poor
a condition as when it came to be
oxygenized, puts the liver to extra
work extracting the poison, thus de-.
stroying the usefulness of this won
derful organ, impairing digestion,
and inviting that dreadful malady,
nervous dyspepsia.
And if, while you are engaged in
contemplating the advice given, you
should happen to think of some rel
ative or friend who smoked and
lived to a good old age, | want you
to remember this.
Some say they are too far gone to
be aole to give up smoking, on ac-
count of the benefit they derive
from it, in steadying their nerves.
Their hands tremble, so they think
"a hair from the dog that bit them
will be the only remedy.
Do they know that the healthier
a being is the faster lie vibrates?
The more rapid the vibration the
steadier and more composed he is?
And when the vibration becomes
visible he is approaching a condition
like the hywheel when you can not
count the spokes.
The remedy they are using will
do them no more good than the man
who shut the steam of could do the
hywheel ii he tried to keep up its
speed by hand.
They ought to join clubs Of phys
icsl culture.
