If you were to glue q French actors

his shoulders down 50 that he couldn't

not be able to say Boo" Yvette is
worth studying for her phenomena in
pantomime.
The initial ballad in her programme,
for fair illustration of my meaning,
has six verses to tell that a rustic girl
let's a fellow kiss her, eonfesses it to
the parish priest, is advised by him to
make an expiatory pilgrimage to a vir-
gin shrine, replies that she will do so
gladly if the kissing chap may go
along. and finally. for her contumacy,
is penanced by the priest to STAY and
kiss him every day for a month. The
words indicate nothing worse than
rOguish kisses. But to a listener who
knows no French. and watches
Yvette's action, the maiden looks like
the most artful of coquettes to begin
with. the most ardent of kissers TO GO
on with, and finally the most passionate
of sinners. That is the French method
of illustrative pantomime carried to
excess

SHOULD EXERCISE DISCRETION.

The curious operation of the federal
statutes covering contests for seats in
the house of representatives is empha-
Georgia. A negro. his name is unim-
portant, was a candidate for congress
on the republican ticket four years ago.
He got less than 200 votes, but he insti-
tuted a contest. While it was pending
he had the privileges of the floor and
when, in the course Of events. his con-
test was dismissed. he got the custom
airy $1,000 allowance.
This encouraged the negro to run for
congress again. In 1904 he was again a
candidate This time his total vote was
a little more than 200 Again he in
stituted contest proceedings. Again, of
course. he will be denied a seat, but
just as surely he viii draw his $1,000
allowance, This Notwithstanding the
fact that he has just been taken back
from Washington to Georgia to serve a
sentence for theft. Isn't there some
thing foolish about the law? Should
It not be termed An act to encourage
the fling Of contest proceedings?"
There should be some way of deny
ing contestants, in cases of this char
aCter, any sum Of money for expenses.
They have no shadow of right to the
money. If it were not for the prospect
of being abUndantly rewarded many
contests would never be filed. Con-
gress should exercise some discretion
in these matters. There are times when
it is proper to allow money for ex-
penses. The case of the negro is not
one of them.

TlLLMAN AS SPOKESMAN.

The decision of the Interstate COM
merce- committee TO have Senator Till
man make its report to the senate on
the Hepburn railroad rate bill is one
OF the remarkable incidents of the
session. TiIlman is not only prominent
In the Democratic ranks, but he is a
radical Of radicals and a pet aversion
of those Republican senators who dis
like plain speech.
Although the report of the commit
tee proceedings does not go into de
tails, 1t is evident the Republicans are
so divided in opinions and so hostile in
feeling that it was impossible for them
to agree either on the report itself or
on the man who should present it. The
result is the extraordinary spectacle of
a Roosevelt measure. taken bodily
from the Democratic national platform,
presented to the senate by a Democrat
and opposed by some of the most influ-
entail members of the presidents own
party.
The one point of difference that split
the Republicans is the question wheth-
CT the law should provide for the i'm
mediste enforcement of a rate promul-
gated by the interstate commerce COM
mission, or whether a rate in COntTo-
versy should be upheld by the courts
before it becomes effective. The COM
mittee failed to sgre7, so it was finally
decided to report the Hepburn bill as
II came from the house, with the IN
derstanding that members of the COM
mittee should be free to present amend
ments in the senate.
Mr.. Aldrich proposed that Senator
Elkins should make the report. Sen
stor Dolliver, one of the administra-
ton spokesman, protested against hav-
ing the bill reported by EIkins because
he is known to be hostile to the bill.
On the final vote TilIman was chosen
by the vote of Aldrich. Kean, Foraker,
Crane and IcLaurin. four Republicans
and one Democrat. Elkins. Clapp and
NewIand voted for Deliver.
President Roosevelt has had some
bitter doses administered by his own
party. but none that could be more
dlstasteful to him than this It ex-
poses the division in party ranks. iden-
titles his pet measure as Democratic
doctrine. and places him under Obliga-
ton to the opposition such as must gall
him bitterly
Senator AldrIch, who Is chiefly re-
sponsibIe, has long been known as one
of the strongest leaders in the senate,
and this departure marks the begin
ming Of an open fight against the pres
ident which has long been expected.
If any rate legislation is accomplished
It will be due TO Democratic influence
and votes: and if it is defeated or is
unsatisfactory. the country Will place
the responsibility with the Republicans

SToPPING CRIME VIEWS.

The board of public safety of Louis
vile, Ky. has issued an. order direct
ing the discontinuance in the vaude-
vile and other houses of entertainment
of moving pictures showing scenes of
crime. methods of criminals, improper
pictures and scenes suggestive of
crime and evil. all of which tend to
appeal TO the weak, or vicious minded -
The chief of police has been instructed
to see that the order is obeyed.
Unquestionably such pictures have
a bad influence. Too many of them
are placed on view. There are Iifelike
illustrations of how to wreck a train,
how to stab a. victim with a -stiletto,
and to kill officers who are sent in pur-
suit of the criminal. how to set fire to
a house and abduct a child, how to
commit burglary, highway robbery,
and a host of other offenses impress
sionabIe boys, especially if they have
the least criminal instincts, cannot
view pictures of this character without
being harmed.
Everybody has seen them. and nearly
everybody will testify that the SYM
pathy of the audience is almost invar-
iably and almost unanimously in favor
of the criminal. There is applause
when he temporarily evades his pur-
sUers, and there is no manifestation of
joy when he is finally run down and
captured or killed, according as the
picture has been faxed"
It is surely not necessary. in order to
entertain the public. to throw crime
pictures on a screen. There are so
many subjects for pictures, so many
that teach a good lesson instead Of a
bad one, so many that appeal to the
sense Of the beautiful. And yet fully
three out of five of the moving pic
lures one sees are pictures of crime
and criminals. It is high time the
displays were stopped. They have no
place in any proper amusement enter
prise.
Boys will lean badness easily
enough. in all conscien 2. without hav-
ing it taught to them in places where
they should only be educated in better
things. If there is no local ordinance
covering the subject, and if the Amer
lean" council can spare the time from
the salary-raising and conduit-grab
bling industry, it might pass such a
law.

tacle would be most unpleasing. He
is to have an opportunity, the story
goes, to become president of Harvard
a life and career that should suit one
of his sermonizing proclivities. Then
when he longs for the strenuous he can
get out and play football with the
boys.
That would be much better than en-
tering actively into partisan politics
The notion of making life senators out
of our ex-presidents is not such a bad
one, for if a man is good enough to
be president he certainly ought to be
a first-class senator. Thus the nation
would always have the active partici-
patton of its strongest and best, and
there would hardly be enough of them
TO make a great political difference.

the subject has only to call at the White

frankly that he intends to hunt and
travel for year or so and then resume
his active interest in politics and make
the senate if possible. He declares
frankly that his ambition lies there. and
that he hopes to realize it.
John Quincy Adams went back TO
the house of representatives after serv-
ing as president. and Andrew Johnson,
though he was never elected to the
presidency, served out the unexpired
term of Abraham Lincoln and later
went back to the senate that had so
nearly removed him from the higher
Office by Impeachment proceedings.
These are, we believe, the only in
stances in which ex-presidents have
entered the political arena except as
candidates for the presidency.
The country expects some measure
Of lofty dignity from its ex-presidents.

RABBI REN-hISsAR.

Rabbi Ben-Hissar rode one day
Beyond the city gates. His way
Lay toward a spot where his swn Rand
Had buried deep within the sand
A treasure vast Of gems and gold
He dared not trust to man to hold.
But riding in the failing light,
A pallid figure met his sight
Al awful shape-he knew full we'll
Twas the great Angel Azrael.
The dreadful presence frOze his breath;
He waited tremblingly for death.
"Fear notw the Angel said: II bear
A message. Rabbi Ben Hissar,
One thing the Lord hath asked Of thee
To prove thy love and loyalty.
Therefore now l am come to bring
Thy rarest jewel to thy King"
Rabbi Ben-Hissar bowed his head.
"Au that have is his"' he said.
The Angel vanished. All that day
He rode upon his lonely way
Wondering much what precious stons
God would have chosen for His own.
But when he reached the spot. he FOUND
NO other mana Udu LOuCACu tAO 6AOuAN'
Rabbi Ben-Hissar looked and sighed.
ut was a dream" he sadly cried.
IL thought that God would deign to take
OF nv poor store for His dear sake.
But twas a dream! My brightest gem
Would have no luster meet for Him!
Slowly he turned and took his way
Back to the vale where the city lay.
The path was long. but when he came
Unto the street which bore his name
He saw his house stand dark and drear,
No voice of welcome, none OF cheer.
He entered and saw what the Lord had
done.
Lo! Death had stricken his only son!
Clay he lay, in the darkened hall,
On the stolid bier, with the funeral pail.
The pale death-angel Azrael
Had chosen a jewel that pleased him
we'll.
Rabbi Ben-Hissar bent his head.
II thank thee, Lord" was all he said.

THE BOY AND THE SHARK.

How. = Plump Little Darky Mar
rOwly Escaped.
The yellow fever was raging in the
city of Vera Cruz that year, says St.
Nicholas. and one of the large West
Indian liners which arrived ON q GER
tain day was obliged to anchor off in
the harbor A small boat, known as
a dingy, foated astern, and in this an
active young colored boy Of about Is
was busily at work washing of the
seats. The boat lurched over with a
sudden dip as the boy bore his weight
on one Of the thwarts, and Pedro
heard warning shout from the steam
er's deck just in time to give one ter
rified glance around and to hear a
noise he knew only too we'll.
Without an instant's hesitation he
jumped overheard from the opposite
side Of the boat For as he looked he
caught sight Of the Jaws Of a great
shark which, spying this tempting
morsel Of plump little darby boy:
had leaped toward the careened boat
with open mouth. So vigorous was
the sharks leap that as Pedro went
over one side Of the boat the shark
Topped in at the other. Not being
used to these surroundings, and MISS
ing his prey, he foundered around un-
til his head bore down the gunwale
and he slid from the careening boat
into the sea again before the people
on the steamer could ding q harpoon
at him. Almost as he disappeared
poor Pedro's head popped up on the
opposite side of the boat and, in a
terrible fright, he clambered into the
dingy again, as thoroughly scared q
young darby as ever had q narrow es-
cape.
Had he not thus saved himself from
the maneater, help from the steamer
would have been necessary and even
then it Is more than probable that the
boy would not have been saved. This
Is a remarkable instance Of tho feroc-
ity Of q shark seeking his prey out Of
the water.
