SITS OF GOSSIP FROM
DRAMAS TEMPLES.

A Chicago aspirant to place in the
dramatists' hall of fame advertises his
own works in the following communi-
cation, which is so unique that 1t de-
serves to be given to the public: N
Dramatic Editor: Dear Sir-I have Just
copyrighted three dramas-to wit. Mar

of thought and study / claim them to be
Of superior merit because OF my constant
application and because Of the truth Of
this little, article on my thoughts.
Great thoughts cannot be made to order
by any process known to the human will,
but loom up spontaneously on the intel
lectual horizon of soul stirred and
quickened and are but the oracles by
which some message from an ever radt-
,ating intelligence is cast upon the sea Of
human light. These thoughts have their
radius and their periphery. since all
thought comes to us linked by hetelo-
geneous past, and as they flow on In
times uneeasing current they. as though
FURNISHED by Gods own hands. add In.
creased brilliancy and lustre and stand
out in bold relief in the accumulated Mt
erature of the world.
These gems that eclipse everything 80
much are the treasred heirlooms of COM
mon humanity; nor do they adhere to-
lineage or climate but bear the birth
mark of every age and station and Often--f,
yes, most often-spring up In some obs
scured breast of lowly birth. He who
adds light and increases wisdom's mighty
torch, be he scion of mammon's fettered
votaries or only twig of poverty's
humble multitude becomes luminary In
the radiant canopy of immortals.
1t is not often that the dramatic ed
itor's daily task is cheered by such q
message from an ever radiating intel!
ligence."

George Cohan is tireless worker
both as actor and author. He sends
word that "The Maid and the Million
aire." which he has just finished for
Fay Templeton, is the best Of all his
conceptions and that he is hopeful Of
it meeting with general popularity. 1t
need hardly be said that Miss Temple
ton is praying that Mr.. Cohan is not
deceived as to the quality of his lines
and his plotting.

Odd. to say the least. isn't 1t?
The real reason for Murphy's dissat-
isfaction with Yale is more likely to be
founded on the salary question than on
any other. Professional trailiers are
rot in the habit Of Jumping from one
college to another simply because one
of their favorite proteges fail! to win
invitations to dances and expensive
clubs.
Mike Murphy has turned out more
winning athletic teams OF every de-
scription than has any other man In
America. He seems, to have some PEE
culiar means of persuasion and devel-
opment that makes len win. He is of
reserved disposition, never using an UNI
necessary word. Some of his friends
call him silent Mike" others term
him Mike the Fox because CT his as

One Of Murphy,s Tricks.

On many occasions athletes at Yale
have been surprised at Mikes discov-.
cry of breaches of training rules and Of
attempts to evade various restrictions
imposed for their own good on the uni
versitys representatives. The mystery
deepened until not for many a long day
was 1t discovered that, although Silent
Mike" was, as generally supposed,
deaf, the affection was so very slight
as not to prevent him from hearing
many of the remarks made by the ath-
letes. 1t was characteristic of MUIR
ply to encourage the belief that he
was very deaf and thus break down the
caution of the lads who prided them
selves en- their ability to outwit the

Race Was Lipton's Idea.

the holding OF a transatlantic race and
offered u cup, but When he heard OF
Kaiser Williams intention to inaugu-
rate Il similar event he gracefully with
drew his own gift. The kaiser cabled
Upton his personal thanks. Considera-
BILE embarrassment resulted from the
kaiser's offer, for the Atlantic Yacht
club of New York had already accepted
Lipton's cup and was preparing the
conditions of the contest. Several
months We're consumed in adjusting
various difficulties which arose. and the
kaiser's race, originally intended to be
held in 1904. was postponed until this
year.
