HOW Ladies' Enjoy Shopping.

Now is the time that the ladies of
the community are looking for attract
i've displays, holiday wares and the
things which they think will please
their dear ones and friends. Nobody
is doing so much for them just now as
the store manager who displays the
finest wares to the best advantage.
This fact is nowhere more noticeable
lust now than at the Yokahoma Tea
Store. There the crowd is surging all
the time. To start with they hear ex-
cellent Cecilian concert in an almost
continuous program. Then there is the
beautiful decoration of the place with
wares that are not only handsome, but
magnifieently displayed.
Mr.. Bredemier has found it neees-
sary to employ many additional clerks,
as we'll as three persons to pack goods
that have been sold to be shipped or
laid aside. A wonderful room devoted
to cut glass and statutory, illumlned
with electric lights, reminds the Gus
toner of some fairy chamber, such as
one reads about. The impression is
lasting, and it is quite evident from the
number of sales in that department
that the public appreciates this won
derful manner of displaying the wares.
Aside from this, there are endless va
rieties of fancy goods, china, deeOrat-
cd and otherwise. Art lamps, ,bric'a-
brae, imported and of the most mag
nifieent designs, and a thousand and
one other things 10 attract attention

Every person is made welcome by

tention is shown shoppers.

CELEBRATED ENGLISH
ACTORS OF THE PAST.

Practically the first English actor of
whose work there is any concrete rec
ord was Richard TarIeton, 1530-Ss.
He was an actor at the Bull in Bishop
gate street, London, and first appeared
in Henry w." from which Shakespeare
probably collected the materials for his
own Henry "" He appeared in the
company at Films, known as THE
Grooms of the Chamber which Queen
Elizabeth appointed at the suggestion
of Sir Francis Walsingham, and an old
author says that for the clowns part
he never had his equal"
Even Ben Jonson, who libeled actors,
applauded Tarleton. 1.-THE selfsame
words spoken by another" says one old
writer, would hardly move a merry
man to a smile, which uttered by him
would force a sad soul to laughter" It
is likely that some of his jests still in
fest our musical comedies, for it is said
that many of his witticisms were print
ed in different jest books.
Edward Alleynes name frequently
occurs in old reviews and criticisms.
In those days-Alleyne lived from 1865
to 1626-every noted actor was COM
pared with Roscius, and Ben Jonson
has a tribute in rhyme to this old actor,
Alleyne is described by Fuller as "a
youth of excellent capacity, a cheerful
temper. a tenacious memory, a sweet
elocution, and in his person of a stately
port and aspect" Actors in the early
days of the English drama often ac-
quired wealth as well as fame, and Al-
leyne was noted for his charities.

Its features stand the Olympian games
held at the St. Louis exposition.
The games at St. Louis were the
fourth revival of the ancient Greek
pastimes. in which the greatest ath-
letes of the period competed, and there
is no doubt that the series at the Lou
isiana Purchase exposition was the
most notable in every way ever held.
President Roosevelt as honorary
president gave unusual eclat to the
meet. it being the first time in the his
tory of this country that the chief ex-
ecutive took so important a part in an
athletic function. President Francis of
the exposition, active president of the
Olympian games, was another of the
notables associated with Director
James E. Sullivan.
The games themselves attracted en-
trants from practically every portion
of the globe. The contests were con-

longs the credit for the unqualified
success Of the Olympic revival, which
touched heights that future renewals

The games at st. Louis were of great
value to the world at large. They were
a striking indication of the universal
interest manifested in athletics and did
much to increase the popularity and
Importance of track athletics in this
country. They also gave Americans an
opportunity to study the methods of
the foreign stars, and vice versa. One
nation was thus enabled to learn the
good points of another, although the
results of a majority of the contests
showed that Americans had less to
learn than their rivals.

Olympic Game History.

The history of the Olympian games
is replete with interesting details.
George Grote in his History of
Greece" published in England, speaks
of the ancient contests in part as fol-
lows:
1.-THE Olympic festival which was held
on the banks of the Alpheius in Pelo-
ponnesus, near the old oracular temple
of the Olympian Zeus, not only grew
up uninterruptedly from small begin
nings to the maximum of Pan-Hellenic
Importance, but even preserved its
crowds of visitors and its celebrity for
many centuries after the extinction of
Greek freedom, and only received its
final abolition after more than HOO
years of continuance from the decree
of the Christian Emperor Theodosius

Olympic games presented originally
nothing more than a match of runners
in the measured course called the sta

better training methods than their
