Heretofore the head and front of the Standard Oil com

The Spirit of Envy

"Why did you steal those rubber boots?" asked the
judge.
Because they better than mine, replied the boy.
1t was envy that induced this boy to steal. He was
we'll enough satisfied with his boots until he the
other boy with better pair. He yielded to the spirit
of envy at the sacrifice of his honesty.
And so have many others. They have given up the
priceless possession of clean conscience for the salts
faction of a covetous desire.
But envy need not lead to crime to leave its blghtng
effect upon the soul of the woman who yields
to it. The JOY of living may be killed without overstep
ping the legal rights of others.
The man with envy in his heart can not be happy He
may hide his envy but he cannot get out of life the joy
that is righfuiy his. Happiness is not for him. Happi-
ness implies peace of mind There can be peace Of
mind where envy is.
Keep the heart free from envy 1t dwarfs the soul and
makes like mockery.
If your neighbours boots better than yours do not
begrudge him his good fortune Dig in and get better
pair for yourself

Why?

George W. Perkins is a millionaire and minister of
high finance.
He is the wicked partner of j. Perpont Morgan.
He is also the vice president of the New York Life Insur
company.
December 81 1903, the insurance company had on hand
100000 worth of international Merchant Marine stock
too much of that kind The officers of the company did
report the fact either to the state commits
sioner Of insurance the policy holders The report must
be made as of Dec 81. What should be done?
Here is where Mr.. Perkins played his dual role.
AS DR.. Jeky, Dec 81, 1903 he sold the 100000 Of
the stock to his firm Morgan Co. On the next business
day. JAN 2 1904 Mr. Hyde he sold the 100000 back to
his insurance company.
The insurance company made up its annual report IN
the interval showing that it had but 100000 of the
Merchant Marine stock.
That is to say, Mr.. Perkins helped his insurance
pany deliberately lie to its assets report soemny

On the statute books of the state of New York is law

Hogan Rice's two stories, one Of
the same name, and the other call
ed Lovely Mary"
To describe at length the quaint
and droll characters concerned in
the play seems quite unnecessary
in view of the fact that to the ma
jority of American readers Mrs.
Wigs and her associates are al
ready as well known figures Of fic-
ton as are Old Scrooge and Mi
cawber. Tom Sawyer and Huckle-
berry Finn. All of the important
personages of Mrs. Rice's two
stories appear in the stage version,
and in the migration from book to
boards they have not in the least
changed in personality. Atmosphere
and Characterization, rather than
plot, give value to the play. Mrs.
Flexner's handling of the original
material has been most sympa-
thetic, and, moreover, she has sue
ceeded in making a play that is as
enjoyable to those who have not
read the stories as to those who
know them by heart.

BY CHAs GRANT MILLER.

Amelia Bingham's husband is 60
ing to work. it is said.
All the world knows that Amelia
Bingham is a famous and high sal
aired actress. Possibly few besides
her personal friends knew that she
has a husband. 1t appears that she
has, but that he has never done any
thing but just hold on to his job as
husband.
Now, he--Lord Bingham--is going
upon the stage in a play especially
written for himself. He is going to
try to do something besides a mere
Observation-Disclosures he succeeds en-
inently or not, it Is worth good
deal to have honestly tried.
Luck to him. But he is heavily
handicapped.
The husband of a talented and
famous woman Is at a pitiful dis
advantage, unless he is fitted for the
part.
The world hears little Of the hus-
bands of famous women. But, of
course, 1t hears almost as little OF
the wives of famous men.
1t Is rather too much to expect of
one family that 1t embrace a dou-
BILE share of greatness.
1t happens sometimes. There were
the Brownlings, equally eminent in
poetry. There are the Cures, who
jointly discovered radium. And
there are a few others--not many.
One of the most difficult things
in the world to do Is for a woman
to live up to great husband. There
| Is only one thing more difncult-for
| a man to live up to a great wife.
The genially satirical Ben King
confdentially told the world what a
| bully good, easy time he might have
| If only his wife taught school. But
| she wouldn't. And so he had to do
the hustling, and in the process
| fashioned himself into famous
| character. "'~
| The poor washwoman who feeds
and clothes her houseful of little
ones, sends them through school and
sees them in pleasant places in life
before she lies down to her long rest
naturally overshadows in her true
grea tness the husband who holds
| work to be an evil.
