romance of a house party, the scenes
laid at Monterey, a coast resort near
San Francisco; and the authors, Esther
and Lucia Chamberlain, are said to
write something in the style of the late
Paul Leicester Ford. Henry HUT has
made six ful-page Illustrations for the
book.

the great war now in progress in the
far east, but also, and especially. in
that vast, spectacular epoch-rnaking
siege by which the war viii be remem-

When Maurice Barrymore and
Steele Mackaye, actor, playwright
manager, got together there was in
variably clash of rapierlike wit that
relegated the other men at the tables
to voluntary silence.
One night at a dinner at the Lambs
club the versatile Mackaye, who was
an excellent actor and a splendid read
er, rendered the main scene from a
part which he had himself written and
played with immense success.
When Mackaye finished the rendi-
ton Barrymore seemed to be the most
enthusiastic man around the table.
He clanked his knife against his plate
and shouted:
"Bravol A hundred times bravo
Mackaye. you ought to be an actor!'

Every organ of the body is
directly connected with the
brain by nerves. The nerve
cells in the brain generate
nerve force-power-and send
It to the organ through these
nerves, and this nerve-force
gives life and action. The or
gans work perfectly when there
IS sufficient nerve power. Lack
OF nerve force weakens the ac-
ton of an organ and it works

THE NEFD OF THE HOUR.

There is gold in every mans life
which appears when the dross is burn
ed All that is trash in mans life
which interferes with simple and in
tellfgent faith, which Weakens and de-
bilitaties conscience, which stuitifies the
reason and which crowds religion to an
fnconseduential place in his thought
To behold clearly the high ideals of life
one must dissociate himself from the
intellectual and sentimental trash of
his day. The need of the hour is not so
much the preaching Of sermons, the
making of resolution and determine
ton Of creeds as it is the confession
and declaration OF creeds- Let a man
clear the trash from the windows Of his
soul. and he may see and comprehend
the truth q the ages that is the hope of
the world.-Rev. William Hathaway
Pound, Congregationalist, Chicago.

RELIGION FOR EVERYDAY Us

RELIGION FOR EVERYDAY USE.
The Unitarian likes the kind of faith
he can put his hand on when he needs
it. he chooses what makes for edifica-
ton; he stands by what stands by him;
he takes religion for everyday use. He
finds it in his business, reminding him
how the laws of integrity underlie all
lasting prosperity. 1t walks with him
on the street, strengthening him against
The evil he sees and opening his eyes
to the good in men which it is easy not
to see 1t is under his sorrow, bracIng

Thomas jefferson, who is starring in
"Rfp Van Winkle," tells the following
story of a pair of twins living in Buz-

of the twins went into a barber shop
and a new barber shaved him An
hour later his brother entered the
shop and sat down in another chair
The barber who had shaved the first

and went to the bass, saying: 81 guess

to how I might get shaved. Inc mn
keeper told me that there was mar

hesitation he said to me;

was toiling up the steep Eleventh

dragging his wheel. He sang a popu'

tied around his ears, a woman
warmly clad in furs, saw the lad, and
her heart was filled with pity.

Rare Old Tokay Wine.

4 visited a cellar OF Tokay last
week. said a hotelkeeper ~Tokay is
the only wine that keeps on improv-
ing indefinitely There was wine
nearly 30 years old in the cellar. It's
price on the market would be etily
$50 a quart.
THE cellar was very carefully kept
/ seemed to inhale cool, velvety whiIfs
Of rich fungus at every step. A slight
haze hung along the top g the pas
sages--a haze that seemed to be made
of the visible aroma Of rare wine.
Il was surprised to see that the bot
ties were kept upright, and that the
corks We're very loosely inserted. Old
Tokay must be kept like that to main
tain perfect condition for it, and,
thanks to the loose corks, sample,
even Of the Oldest vintage may be-
taken out and tasted at any moment.
A bottle of Tokay may be shaken
without turning turbid.
Nobody knows why old Tokay Is so
good. 1t Us no longer made-just as
genuine Madeira is no longer made.
The secret is lost, like the secrets Of
the old Persian rugmakers."

We all wondered what Mrs. DuPage
could possibly keep in that little silver
casket Of hers. don't you know. All
OF US chaps were interested in the
little widow and anything that be-
longed to her. We were interested in
the color Of her eyes, and the length
Of their lashes a goodish bit, don't you
know; and the Size Of her shoes and
the fit Of her stockings around the
ankles, and the blooms on her cheeks
We talked about all of these things.
Not that we could say anything about
them but to praise them. Her eyes
we're the color Of bunch Of vlolets
with the dew on 'em-Tenyoort said
that Tenyoort's one Of these prac-
tical duifers, don't you know. Some
of his bally poetry has been printed
in the Top Crust Journal-Gazette. He
was gone no end on Mrs. DuPage. AS
to the shoes. Cinderella would have
got corns II she had tried to wear
Mrs DuPages, and she had better
taste in the selection and display OF
hosiery than any woman ! know OF.
And If that bloom of hers ever saw
the inside OF a drug store we were all
mistaken.
But we talked more about that sil-
yer casket than anything else, be-
cause It was such a devilish odd
looking thing, don't you know. i had
four panels. One was decorated with
q heart that was split tight up the
middle, another had something that
looked like tin horn turned upside
down. the third had monogram and
the fourth motto: 'Memoria in Ae-
terna. surrounded by a wreath Of pr-
get-me-nots. On the lid there was a
bally little cupid standing tiptoe on a
grinning skull and pointing up in the
air.
Well, wherever Mrs. DuPage was
that casket was sure to be somewhere
around It was generally in her
boudoir. but sometimes saw 1t in
her parlor and once when she gave a
little luncheon It was standing on the
sldeboard. Knickerbocker Cuyver
asked her what she had in it once and
she sighed and said that it was her
little all. She told me when / asked

Well, didn't-not then. | went
around to her place. don't you know,
because she was jolly clever little
woman and ripping good locker.
Sometimes she made me feel like a
fool. because she was SO jolly clever
but she always gave me good time
and | brought her flowers and candy
and all that sort Of thing, don't you
know.
"And then the secret or the casket
came out. A woman who knew the
DuPages down South was visiting the
Kerners and she told them that the
casket held the last mortal remains
of Willie DuPage. He was crema-
tion crank and he had the casket
made before he died to hold his ashes,
and he made Eulalie promise to keep
1t with her wherever she went. That
we took for a tin horn on one Of lne
panels was a funeral torch classic,
don't you know, and the Cupid signi-
fed Love triumphing over death. The
motto meant In Eternal Remem-
brance.'
well as soon as heard that went
right over to Mrs. DuPage and ] told
her what I'd heard and how jolly sor-
ry was for her. And she looked at
me with those big eyes Of hers SO
gratefully and thanked me for my
sweet sympathy so prettily began to
wish that she hadn't been so fond OF
DuPage. She gave me her hand, too,
and couldn't help keeping It, don't
YOU know; it was so little and soft
and warm and it sent such funny little
thrills up my arm and all over me
that it was doocid pleasant. After q
while she told me how much my
friendship had been to her. And then
she remembered thatI was still hold
ing her hand and took 1t away.
