it seemed-at every incident that went
wrong.
To be sure. an experienced theatre
cal observer like Mr.. Fry should have
known better than to put rag baby
into his heroine's arms to hold during
an emotional scene. It is true that
James "A. Herne had the wronged wo-

TO her agOnized bosom. There was a
smoker at that and a laugh when,
after she had fed from home, maid

baby away and forgotten its bottle"
From that time on it was hard for the
heroine TO hold attention closely to her
sufferings, which were acute and pitt
full. She was the daughter Of British
PRISONS warden in Tasmania and she
became the too informal wife Of an
Irish political convict, inferentially
John Boyle O'Reilley. the famous
Fenian. She aided him TO escape to
America. made a pilgrimage OF love to

. Carlotta Nilsson is enc of those
blonde Swedes with taffy hair and
cream skin who would still look clean
if they hadn't washed themselves in q
year. She is not big and brawny, how
ever, like most of her cOuntrywomen,
but small and delicate. - She had acted
several roles so tenderly and emotion
ally, with no forcing of voice or ac-
ton, that a triumph was the fOrecaste
for her as this accidental mother, in
Loves Pilgrimage" The prediction
did not come true. And the disappOint-
ment was due to herself quite as much
as to Mr. Fry. She had not subjected
herself to expert guidance, but had
been permitted to have her own way

DUTY OF SELF-RESTRAINT.


EAI referred to our duty a people
-EA Of practising seli.restraiDt 1t may
II W. be questioned il, on the whole,
a H -MA Americans are as self-mastering
d4I1fSl& as are some other peoples; and it
certainly is true that they are not as secontrOed
as they ought to be- We keeping ourselves
under pretty good control Just now; but it has on
ly been a few months since we're in the midst OF
an orgy Of reckless business speculation, were
hanging and burning negroes in various parts OF
the cOQDtry by lynch law, and stOning and
killing each other and Wrecking and burning each
Other's property because OF labor disputes. These
things indicate q lack OF individual self mastery;
and, OF course lack of individual self mastery TAX
en- collectively Is lack of national self-mastery
The great, progressive, ruling peoples OF the earth
have been selicontrOlled peoples. 1t was their
power Of individual and collective selirestraint
that enabled the Romans to conquer and bold in sub
lection all their neighhOrs. It is the same quality
that has enabled the English to found and maintain
the greatest, ireest and most extensive empire OF
modern times. It is in this particular that the
English contrast most with their nelghbOrs, the
French. The French have always been meTcural,
ehangeabe, disposed to sacrifice future power to
present glory future comfort to present ease. The
French character is reflected in the unsteady
Of their history. At times the French have been
the most powerful, at times the most depressed peO
pie Of Europe Their government has repeatedly
run the gamut from absolute despotism to absolute
n
the government Of colonies. While the mercuris
French have been pursuing this irregular course
the English have been slowly but steadily increasing
their freedom at home and their strength abroad. A
people, like man, only govern others we'll il it
can govern itself we'll.
1t will be especially necessary for some years to
come for the American people to practice the vir-
tue of self control. They never have had as many
difficult social problems to solve as they are now
confronted with. The negro question, the trust
question: the problem Of adjusting the relations be-.
tween labor and capital, the immigration question
al these will require before they are satisfactorily
disposed Of deal Of hard, clear thinking and men
don't think hard and clear when they are in pas
sion. Besides these vexatiOus problems at home
we have the almost equally delicate and difficult
ones which pertain to our political policy in the
Philippines and to our diplomatic policies in South
America and in the Far East. It is obviously the
interest and the duty Of people which has to set
tie such questions these to bring to the task dis
cipined minds and bearts. sIn all the ages of the
past, !" as President Roosevelt said at Gettysburg
men have countries lose their liberty because
their people could not restrain and order them.
Selves and thereby forfeited the right to what they
we're unable to use with wisdom" And it has
been the same lack of sefmastery that nations have
been shOrn Of their powers and glory.

An insurance campany doing business in OklahO-
ma has recently had q unique experience. Some
time since the South Methodist Episcopal church at
Hobart was badly damaged by tornado. Upon the
assessment OF an suster the church was paid the
of $1,000 by a tornado insurance company,
this being the amount Of estimated damage.
A few days ago, when the necessary repairs we're
completed, and the building restored to condition
equal to that before the storms visitation the church
found balance of $500 Of the insurance money un
expended. Then the question OF the disposition Of
the unusual balance came up. Technically, perhaps
there was doubt OF the right Of the church to do
with it as it chooses but the stewards and members
of the church, recognizing that when the building
was completely restored the moral obligation of the
company was cancelled, sent back the $780, Which
was the right thing to do. But it is hardly neces-
sary to add that this was novel experience for the
company

INSANITY.
BY ROBIN LILLARD.

A while ago, when was sane like other men,
thought like them that Madness staress night
But soft! for would whisper thee of ny new joy,
Insanity so strangely sweet, so dazzling bright
No more, more the days dull and commonplace;
My empty life is brilliant now, ablaze is grown
With gay, fantastic flashing fires when at dawn
Round lofty spires the flame ends dance by tempest blown
All glorious the wide, wide world-for am mad
My brain fountain is become, whence emanate
Those creatures vast the myriad host Of splendid Shapes
Nor can He'll boast such horid forms. so intricate
In uglness mingle with the endless throng
That crowd around in silence grand my crystal throne.
At other times have sight but only hear
From out the night the Voices low and sweet that
Or sigh or sing, whisper plantivemessages.
But an there sometimes the day of grisly Fear
When fomess Phantoms crouch and creep shadows gray
And long and deep, with gastY eyes, they py and peer
Into fhe very cisterns cool of human brains
Delirium in banquet halls of Fancy rare
Spreads gorgeous feasts of wine andeat and bids to come
To drink, to eat each his fl of grOtesque fare,
The ravng lovers of the banquet's mistress sweet.
OH who would sell such Godlike bliss for place gold
Surrender up his banquet seat to plodding go,
With cautious feet along the paths Of Reason cold.
