such wonderful success last season contains many bright lines and situ- ations. The following are a few ex. cerpts of the bright dialogue:
 Some day I'll have a farm, We will get married and have a lot of little pigs"
 The greatest crime of shining is in being sound out"
 You can buy anything in this world with money and some think they can buy Heaven with the amount they place in the contribution plate"
 When the devil sees you he will throw up both hands and exclaim. I'm up against the real thing now
 Jew luck is sometimes better than Christian Science"
 Some think thieving is an honora- bis profession so long as one is not caught with the goods
 If hell will be peopled with rogues of your calibre. then I will commence to go to Sunday school right now
 Honesty is the best policy, except when you need the money"

"Too PROUD TO REC. ;"

Lincoln J.. Carter's new melodrama, Too Proud to Beg is the post Thanksgiving attraction at Polls this afternoon and evening and there IS quite large audience enjoying ..s the matinee presentation. MT Garter, it IS said, has created detective. play in "Too Proud to Beg" a11d with an ease that might almost put Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes" to blush. Aside from making detection q permanent feature of the story there is a theme of love and intrigue cleverly inter woven with comedy and thrilling situ- ations, thus making an entertainment that it is safe to assert will interest and amuse the most blase theater pa tron. The cast presenting "Too Proud to Beg" is capable one and includes the clever Boylan children-Arthur and Mildred Prices are %, 35 and 50 cents. s4 .as

Few fishermen can swim. sSYou see we has enough O the water without goin' to bother wi it when we are ashore man said to writer in Les lies Magazine the other day. Yet this very mar had fallen overbroad in the open sea no less than four times, and had only been saved on one occasion by catching the line thrown him in his teeth and holding on till lie was hauled aboard. His hands were too numbed to be of any use. Still this fact does not deter them from facing the water In an open bay i'll Labrador lives one solitary settler. Tn. the spring Of the year. when the ice was just breaking up. the mans two lads were out on the bay ice after seals, when all of sud- den it gave way and the lads fell through. The father, seeing it from the shore. did not hesitate, but seizing a fishing line, hastily fastened one end round his body, and giving the other end to his daughter to hold, he ran out to the hole through which they had fallen. He. jumped into the water, actually went down and fetched up the bodies, too late, alas, however, to restore life to them after that cold water. These tales could be multiplied indefinitely.

Chance Brings Together a Brother !. and Sister After a Long Search.

$ New York. Nov 25.-After a search extending over thirty-two years, Mrs ID. Turpin of 30 Cornelia street, has found her brother. John Geogan. He is now a farmer living in EnglishtoWn. N. J. The meeting of brother and SIS. ter came about through the efforts of Daniel Leary, school teacher in the town of Swetmans, about three miles from Freehold.
 The Geogan family, composed of sew eraI brothers and two sisters, lived al PIT Monroe street thirty-two years ago. Their mother died and the family sep nrated. John Geogan was put in an institution. When he had been there short time he was taken out by a farmer and brought to Englishtown, where he has lived since.
 Mir Leary and q relative of his vis- sited Geogan 9 few weeks ago and lh the conversation between the three, Geogar mentioned that he remembered when boy living at PIT Monroe street This was the house in which MT Leary's relative lives now. When the relative came back he heard about Geogan's eldest sister, Mrs Turpin, and her search, through friends.
 Brother and sister exchanged sevs eral letters and the two met q few days ago. Mrs Turpin said Tuesday that she had given up expecting to find any of her brothers or sister. In the last thirty years she searched every place to which she thought they might have drifted, but could not fino any trace of them until she heard of her brother through Mir Leary.

On many railroads, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine, the slight est discipline, for any reason what ever, even for disregard of train orders, is habitually and consistently combat ted and resisted by labor organizations. Of course, the personal equation comes in here largely, and many locals of labor unions are in the hands of intel ligent and responsible men. But, as matter of form, committee calls a fellow unionist. If the cause is suf- 1cient, that sometimes ends it. But frequently the soundness of the reason is disputed; at other times it is reeog- nized, but the official is urged to let the man off just this time'' Tn ex- treme cases the reasons are recognized, but the official is ordered to restore the man anyway, or stand strike. The great evil of ''union'' interference is in the undermining of the moral sense 4 superintendent who knows that every attempts at discipline will involve him in. dreary discussion. with sil. ver-tongued or obstinate spokesman of committee, grows very weary, and is apt, for this reason; to disregard minor infractions of rules, where if he felt entirely free he would insist upon the maintenance os standard. A train en- ploye who knows that a committee will always act as a buffer between him. self and his superior, becomes indifrer- ent to exact obedience of rules.

ADVERTISING BY BANKS.

Does it pay for banks to advertise ? Five years ago some banks in Pitts burg, Penn, began to advertise, and recently they measured the results by comparing their business with that of banks that did not advertise. In the five years the banks that sought new business through printers ink gained 38 per cent in assets and 85 per cent in deposits; the other banks gained 27 per cent in assets and II per cent ill deposits. During the past year the former gained p per cent and the latter lost 2 per cent ill de posits. The question whether it pays to advertise may not be entirely an swered by such figures, but they are calculated to provoke thought Springfield Republican.
