PopuIaritY of Shakes .eare.

Thc popularity of the Shakespeare an drama needs no defense when i, fl portrayed by an actor of eenuine fitness for the task he has undertaken. The plays written by Shakespeare, and those which because of their su- rerior quality nay be generally clas- enthusiast and multitudnous follC.W- ing whcn they are adequately prCscnt ed There has been demonstrated many q time an oft by Charles E iianford's presentations. Mr. Han ford has won each year an increased rcpularity until now ii is the eHcap- ten when his audience is not as large a ene as it is possible for the theater tG accommodate. Mr. Hanford has studied the public even as cG4sely as the public has observed NIr. Hanford. Convinced that his best work was done in the great legitimate roles, and iinl=I inc this conviction approved by those nest eminent of alk players With whom in his carly professional life he WIS 90 fortunate as to h5 as40e a'ae, Nr l5anlcrd applied himself Vi" Il determination that know no dls@0nr- Q 2eement and an industry that yielded to no fatigue tG carving GGt the ti- tFre which he is now so brilliantly realizing. The world Is always &N0I3- tical regarding an actor who Is her aided as competent to play those char. acters who are held as cherished friends in the popular infasnation, but once the sllepticism is removed 1t is replaced by complete ani un- sWerving loyalty, such as Charles B. Hanford finds awaiting him wherever he appears This loyalty Nr. tan ford has never abused by is.different performances or inadequate produc- tions. "Othello" is to be Mr. lian- ford's play at the Elks theater on Friday, Dec. 29.

KITCHEN HELPS.

The dirtiest frying pan will become clean if soaked five minutes In am- 9onia and water.
 Discolored saucepans of enamel can often be made to look like new by boil ing little chloride of lime in the water with which they are filled.
 Copper pans. etc., should be cleaned by securing with cut lemon dipped m salt. Then rinse thoroughly in pure water, dry and polish with soft cloth.
 Save all baking powder tins; they al- ways come in handy as molds, either for steamed pudding, jellies or frozen desserts, and these dishes will always be served most attractively on your table.

Mildred Holland

The management of the Elks the ater takes pleasure in announcing the appearance of the favorite emotional actress, Mildred Holland at the Elks theater On this occasion, Miss Hol- land will present her remarkably strong and beautiful imperscnatlon o1 Angela in Carina Jordan's romantic drama, "The Lily and the Prince, which is one of the most interesting romantic dreams ever staged. It is play of intense high lights and delicate shades. Between the sum- shine and rippling fountain with it's pretty love scene in the first act, and the dark and somber inquisition cham ber. with it's accompaniment of super emotion in the third act, there IS wide divergence of dramatic treat ment, giving Miss Holland ample op pcrtunity to display the histr1on1c powers with which she is so singularly gifted. MT. Edward c. White has given "The Lily and the Prince massive and beautiful production. The play has been lavish1y staged anc the coloring and ensemble effects are marked by the delicacy of treatment which discloses the true artistic m stinct. That Miss Hollands acting il "The Lily and the Prince is appre ciated is evidenced by the enthusl asm with which she is received wher ever she appears.

Plays and Office BuiIaiacs.

More tine is required to build d great play than is consumed in the erection of a modern office building. lE the month of September, 1901, con- tractors began work on q modern of ice structure near the offices of Geo il. Brennan, under whose direction lhos Dixon, Jl's.. powerful play, rho Cla1sman,' will be presented. At the same time work was started or the play. The building was finished in July, 1905, but The Clansman" was not ready for the boards until the following September. The compari- son gives son-e idea of the time de- voted by careful and capable mana2 CTS to the presentation of a great play. In offering d work of national importance like that of Mir DiXon DO detail can he overlooked. The scenery must net only be attractive to the eye, but accurate accessories and properties must be correct. Over three months was occupied i'll select ing the cast, during which period Mr. Brennan saw nearly a thousand actors before he found just the ones that he required. Five rehearsals were given in order that even the opening performance should be per feet. ."The Clansman'' will be seen at the Elks theater soon.

 Grease in the sink is a very prolific cause of disease. It necessarily accll- mulates from dishes and utensils, and 1t clings to both wooden and metallic waste pipes, although more readily and tenaciously to the former. V .tll it usually adhere very small bits of yege table matter which while Gecayiflg shelter and nourish misehevous bae- teria and, besides, the grease will clog the drain after time and, being im- previous to cold water. will become boSa menace and an inconvenience. Indeed, kitchen drain is sure to be- come stopped unless it is frequently washed out with some powerful solvent that will liquefy. combine with or alter the grease and ct the same time de- stroy all vegetable or animal particles that cling with it to the inner surface Of the pipe. This purfication should take place at least once week in sum- mer and winter. The surest and sim plest cleansing agent for wooden or Iron drains is strong solution of pot ash or washing soda made with boiling water The sink should first be scrub bed with soapsuds and then tEe solu- tion should be dashed while very hot over the entire surface. After the liquid has run of, rapidly pour a generous quantity, also very hot, directly into the drainpipe, which is sure to need purifcation most.-Boston Herald.

"The School Girl. "

The American members of "The
 School Girl" company which will be seen here soon, are betting on Miss
 Carrie Reynolds; the English mem- hers are positive that Barrie Maxwell
 will win his wager w tn the star. The
 time limit will be up soon, and the supper that is the forfeit will be given
 IF this city. During the second scene "The School Girl,'' Miss Reynolds, is mistaken by sget-rich-quick" stock broker for the new typist, and she dis covers that he is going to ruin her ia ther and Gen. Marchmont (Maxwell), the father of her chum. While SUD- posedly taking dictation from the gen. eral she is dictating (cccording to the librettists), letter of warning against the stock deal. Miss Reynolds is no make believe typewriter. She "pounds \ the keys" like an expert, but, instead of typing off the warning she began several weeks ago to write funny stories in the hope of some night sur prising Maxwell out of his boast ot stage self-possession. At the very first attmept she almost succeeded in jolting the comedian, but after the first surprise he quickly recovered himself and deliberately read off the warming while digesting joke. Since

eyes to shut out all things else we think of them abstractly, 50 is the mer- cy of God in Jesus Christ more to me than when 1t rested in the bosom of the
 Father, or only as an abstraction In my own mind. What does mere desarip-
 ton of bsneyolence amount to. if the
 grace itself in this world of need be
 wanting? What does a mere descrlp-
 ton of zeal amount to, if never prac-
 ticed; or, of holiness, if never experi-
 enced? So with graoa and truth. We
 want no theories simply, that gossaner
 like float out across our vision, really a
 pest and an annoyance to our Christian
 life, but these embodied. And hence the
 superiority of Christ over nature, the law and the Bible. In the one he is faintly and imperfectly seen, and in the other described, but in the flesh he is grace and truth alive and in motion. ] He lives them, breathes them, acts them. His life was filled with deeds of 1 mercy and all his utterances were true. In this we areto initiate him, pattern after him and incarnate in us the same l virtues, that from us as from him their
 glorious effulgence may ever shine.

joice, we are told, when we repent, but we are not told that they weep when we fall. They think we are foll- ish. and we are; that we ought to have more sense, and we ought that God would be just in damHfng us, and he would. What the world needed was some heavenly iphabitant farther re- moved than we, with all such thoughts as angels possibly indulge, to put him. self in the same arena, to trudge along the same thorny pathway, to encounter the. same heat, the same cold, the same storms, the same prosecutions and be- setmens, In fact to bare his breast and uncover his head to everything that beats upon ours.
