Pastor Chambers Surprised.

Last evening, while in attendance
upon the New Year reception Mt the
Y. Nj. G. A., Pastor j. H. Chambers,
of the Olivet Baptist Church, was
called up by phone, but owing to the
prefusion of sweet sounds that per
vaded all portions of the building, he
could not make out positively whence
the call proceeded. Assuming that it
originated from his own home, he
turned his steps III that direction.
He learned later that the message
was something like "a young couple
want You" Upon his arrival he found
a little couple awaiting him in the re-
ception hall, and the little girl timid :
ly inquired if he could marry them.
The manner of the children made him
suspicious TINT they would not be
grisyed if he should ask them To wait
for u few years. However, he re-
quested them 10 stand up before him
that he might proceed with the cere
mony. There was an immediate col
lapse on the part of the children, and
the pastors attention was diverted
toward the darksned parlors by
sounds of suppressed merriment III

the lights, and, presto what II trans
formation greeted his visionl He
found the rooms filed with members
of the church and congregation their
faces wreathed with smiles, they hav.

As soon as the pastor could compose
himself he received the tender greet

At n seasonable hour refreshments
were served. after which there was n

Townsend, who then, in n felicitous
address, presented the pastor with n

assurance that the gift was but token

The Shirt of Winter

The Spirit of Winter is with us,
making it's presence known in many
different ways sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and ghstening SHOWS, and
sometimes by driving winds and
binding itorms. To many people it
seems to take delight in making bad
things worse, for rheumatism twists
harder, twinges sharper, catarrh be-
comes more annoying, and the many
symptoms Of scrofula are developed
and aggravated. There is not much
poetry in this but there is truth, and
it is a wonder that more people don't
get rid of these ailments. This med
lcine that cures them Hoods Sarsa-
parilla-is easily obtained and there
is abundant proof that cures are radi-
cal aud permanent

MRS. CARTER IN ADREA

Adrea" seems an opera Iibretto,
with Mrs. Carter's acting to replace
the music. Nearly everything that it
contains suggests something to be ex-
pressed in another and a more i'm
portant medium, and to be set about
with decorations, says the New York
Globe. Belasco has chosen an imagin-
ary island in the Adriatic for his
scene. The time is the vague cen
turies when the old Roman world was
dying of its luxury and vices, and
when yellow-haired barbarians stalked
through it and made it their prey and
their plaything. French librettists
have experimental with the same
epoch The rhythmic prose, as 1t
seemed, of the text with the archaic
commonplaces of cloths" and ''thous"
that sprinkled it, and the lack of any
high imagination or warmth of ex-
preston in it equally suggests an opera
book. The plet,s again,s@in soperatic
fashion, was reduced to the lowest and
the baldest terms. Its development
was confined to few characters in
transparent situations.
Adrea cannot rule her land, because
she is blind. Her sister Julia, the
wanton, is to reign. Julia has won the
ambitious barbarian chief Kaeso, who
once loved Adrea. Together they wed
the Sightless Adrea to the court fool.
She suspects, prays for sight, receives
1T in thunderbolt, and knows. She
seeks death in a tower of forgetful-
ness. Her fathers shade, the trum-
pets proclaiming Julia's bridal, her
own sense Of outrage recall her to her
throne. She makes Kaeso captive and
takes vengeance on him. At the final
moment her love for him rekindles.
She has condemned him to be torn by
wild horses. Instead she strikes him
down with her fathers sword An
epilogue Of renunciation to Kaeso's lit
tie son, an appeal for the old happy
again the sun god grants it
bring the end.
The characters have no definite
traits in themselves. They become
what the players put into them. The
situations are diagrams waiting to be
filled by the same players. AS you
look and listen you have little sense Of
the characters as human beings or of
the situations as crises in human for
tunes. The play seems largely an ar
tlficial contrivance that the acting Of
Mrs. Carter and the rest is to make
alive, persuasive, even moving, until
you may forget its artificialfty, and
that Belasco is to decorate until he
mas hidden nearly all the laborious
contrivance behind.

COMEDIANS HAVE THE HARDER
TASK

In a symposium Of brief interviews
with leading players published in the
Chicago Record-Herald, Annie Rus
sell gives expression to the following
opinion concerning the comparative
dif1cuitles encountered in essaying
comedy and tragic or emotional roles.
Miss Russell says:
L sincerely believe that more thought.
more. concentration and a closer ap-
plfcation are necessary in the study OF
a comedy role than in portraying the
deeper emotions which come in real
life. 1t is easier to be tragic, easier to
depict the sorrows and deeper feelings
or humanity than to show natures
brighter side. I can saw this con
fidently, because in my own life I have
mad enough of pathos through illness
and the hundred of other things that
come to all of us to make it easier for
me to realize the seriousness of life

PAUL JONES' LOG IS FOUND
IN THE SELKIRK FAMILY


~ APT. STOCKTON, the naval at
lJU tache Of the United States enl-
bassy in London. has informed
the secretary Of the navy that the log
books of Capt. Paul Jones, 1.-The father
of the American navy" are in the
chartroom at Douglas castle, ST Mary's
island, Scotland. How they came there
!. nobody knows except SO far as may be
learned from the Inscriptions, which
read:
Original Log Books of the Ranger
and Bonne Honme Richard, given to
Lady Isabella Douglas by Lord Napier
of Ettriek, in $780, Purchased by
Captain Boyd, of Greenock, from per-
son by the name of Harding, a baker in
New York, 1924"
This inscription Is signed "G. w"
Douglas is the family name of the Earl
OF Selkirk, says w. E. Curtis in the
Chicago Record-Herald. His seat on
st. Mary's isle is sometimes called
Castle Selkirk and often Castle Doug
las. Lady Isabella Douglas, to whom
the log books were presented in 1880.
was granddaughter of the Lord and
Lady Selkirk, whose house was raided
and whose silver plate was carried off
by Capt. John Paul Jones in 177S. ]
told the story recently and quoted from
the bombastic letter which Capt Jones
wrote to Lady Selkirk, explaining his
motives for the raid and promising to
restore the plate, which he did after
SIX years Of trouble and LITIGATION. at
large expense. Lady Douglas was
the daughter of Thomas Douglas. their
youngest son, who succeeded to the
title of the Earl Of Selkirk in 1779 and
/ died in 1870. Lady Isabella died in her
girlhood the same year that the log
books were given to her.
Sir Charles Napier was a famous
British sailor. born in 1856 and died in
1860. In 1880 he was serving in the
cnannel fleet, and could have been at
st. Mary's, where he probably made
the acquaintance of the family, heard
their story of the raid and gave the
young woman the log book. This, how
ever, is only conjecture.
How Lord Napier obtained the log
DOCKS is mystery, and there Is no
knowledge of Capt. Boyd. or Hard
ing, the baker in New York, from whom
the books were purchased. Lord Sell
kirk, with whom John Paul Jones had
his remarkable correspondence. and to
whom he returned the plate taken from
the castle, died in f799 Helen. his
wife, Countess Of Selkirk, died in 1902,
long before the log books came into the
possession of the family. The raid was
the most notable event in the family
history, and, therefore, it was natural
that the record of the voyages Of the
Ranger and everything that related to
Capt. Jones was of particular interest
to all the Selkirks.
The records in the log books are not
literary compositions. They are writ
ten by plain sailor men who knew how
to handle a cutlass better than pen,
