The Beginning of
Mrs. Farquhar-Brucc.

She wanted a stock company engage
ment to make up for the training she
had not had in a dramatic school but
she finally accepted in sheer despera-
ton a part IL a new melodrama which
was going out through Pennsylvania
and western New York 1t was a chear
company, a wretched play and Nina
Farley was positively relieved when il

getting out of town she Joined the
Wood Philips Comedy company, q

which was in need of a character wo-

for the legitimate and she had never
conceived of herself in character roles
but she humorously admitted, with d
glance at the cracked and dimpled no

that she looked the part"

to get away from it and Nina Farley
never again had an engagement with 8
good or even passable company. She
was with the Wood-Philippses and 9th
ers of that ilk for IA dreary, hopeless
poverty-stricken years. She was by
turns leading woman, soubrette, char
acter woman, ingenue in company af-

STEALING ANOHER'S GOOD NAME.
Social prestige is often gained or lost
by the deliberate plumber of a neigh
boris opportunity or good name The
heart is full of pride which hungers for
palatable diet secured too often at an
exorbitant price. Property stealing may
be and is much condoned, but the filch-
ing of another's good name is most de-
testable, for it does not enrich the thief
and irreparably Injuries the loser.-Rev.
Z. A. Hartman, Presbyterian, Denver.
PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING.
My brother, as you begin today to
think of all your blessings I tell you
bluntly and plainly It is, a shame-a
sinful shame-for you to have post
poned so long learning a prayer of
Thanksgiving. 1t is a shame-a sinful
shame-that you have postponed so
long the day when you are willing to
get down upon your knees and thank
God for what he has done for you and
for the blessings that have enriched
your life.-Rev. DR.. Frank De Witt
Talmage, Presbyterian, Chicago.
NECESSITY OF SELF RESTRAINT.
The only moral restraint that can in
the nature of things be effective every
where and always is self restraint. And
self restraint should be fostered and
cultivated by all the training, educa-
ton and discipline of youth. The foun-
dations of reason should be put beneath
it, the sanctions of religion should be
brought to strengthen it. Authority,
too has its place, but not arbitrary
authority, only the authority of reason
when and so far as we are dealing
with reasoning beings.-Rev. David
Utter, Unitarian, Denver.
THE ELEMENTS OF TRUE
GREATNESS.
We have all longed to be great. We
have thought that greatness consisted
only in a few great deeds such as are
usually attributed to heroes, but Christ
teaches that true greatness consists in
the sum total of little acts of kindness.
No architect ever built a great cathe-
dral with one large unbroken piece of
stone, for all cathedrals are construct
ed with many bricks and many broken
pieces of stone. So you and 1 will ere
long find that the sum total of the lit
tie deeds that we have performed
through the years will constitute a
more glorious life than any of the great
deeds of the most famous heroes.-Rev-
John Lloyd Lee, Presbyterian, New
York

There are dozens of worse actresses
than Nina Farley who stay in New
York the year round and take prOvin-
cial engagements, if they take them at
all. only when they choose. There have
even been stars who had less natural
ability and less acquired skill in the
expression of their art. But this is not
saying that Nina Farley was a great
actress, or even that she had the max
ing of one. because not having the
mana gerial gift for discovering bud
ding histrionic genius 1 would hesitate
to give an opinion on this point. All
1 know is that she was surprisingly
good for companies with which she
played-too astonishingly good to be
appreciated in the kerosene circuit
where her professional career was
largely passed.
To be sure when she first went on
the stage she did have a summer stock
company engagement in Chicago,
where her work attracted attention
and at the end of which she was
offered a minor role in the SUPPORT of
a star OF some magnitude. But her
hOOdoo was working overtime Just
then. as it did in fact almost contin-
uously until she approached middle
age. She was taken very i'll with some
nervous trouble while she was still in
rehearsal with the new company, and
had to go back home, where she
wasted the winter and the following
summer in a tedious and youth
destroying illness. When she recovered
and went back to New York to seek
another engagement, although she was
Still under twenty-five and had been
on the stage less than a year, she
was a wreck of her former self and
her undeniable lack of beauty proba bly,
was largely responsible for her subse-
quent failures. Any way. she tramped
all over New York and spent all she
had brought with her from home in
her efforts to secure suitable en-
gagement But she had no reputation
and no influential friends, and she
was thin and faded and tired looking
and none too prosperous in dress and
appearance, so the managers would
have none of her.

Church 10 Be Rebuilt.

Logan, Ia, March 3. The
Christian church at Logan that
was recently destroyed by fire
is soon to be replaced by a
structure as large and beautiful
as the former building. The
insurance, amounting to $4,000,
has been paid in full by the
| North British and Mercantile
Insurance company of London.
Over $1,000 has been pledged
by private parties, and with a
salvage of $1,000, a total of
$4,000 is the amount now ready
to replace the building. The
estimated cost, when completed,
is $4,000. The new church will
be similar to the old building
in every respect, excepting
only the galleries, which will
be eliminated. Work will be
begun very promptly.
