Soon after midnight, with . south

known to Laro and his followers as
the "Barra de Hero"
The day was coming, gray and
heavy looking, with a misty cloud
bank in the east promising fog later
on. Overhead, the pale dawn was ex-
tinguishing the stars above the sea
that stretched, a dull green floor, in
every direction.
Lafitte, asleep in his cabin, was
aroused by knocking upon the door;
and, to his instant query, Garonne's
voice replied, with suggestion of sat

When We Were Twen:y-Ene.

An advance notice says: At the
opera house next Wednesday night,
Henry V. Esmond's master piece,
When We We're Twenty-One," is
to be presented by II of the strong
est casts ever seen in this piece. In
all Mr.. Goodwin's career he has new
er attempted anything that has met
with such renowned success as
When We Were Twenty-One.' In
looking over all the criticisms of Mr..
GoodWin's recent productions, in
nearly every instance, regret has been
expressed that his new plays were
not to be compared with when We
Were Twenty-One." Now that re-
Of the great plays seem to

ton could be offered than this ever

should indeed prove the most not

season.

COURT HOUSE FAILURES.

Commenting on the regrettable
beaumont tragedy, in which a Graz
ed father lost his life, the Houston
rost says: The people of Texas
are becoming extremely weary of the
court house failures. 1t is a rule
rather than the exception, that Grim
mails either escape or are inadeuuate-
ly punished" This is a strong state
ment. Unfortunately it is a correct
one. The impotency of the law to
punish offenders is every where
markedly apparent. The criminal
either goes free or is lightly punish
ed. What with the absurd technical
points in our code of criminal pro-
cedure, coupled with the smart work
OF shrewd attorneys, life is coming

TWO WRITERS OF slooRApuy

 Different Schools.

It Is an interesting fact in the his. tory Of literary genres that two of the great examples of b',graphjcal writing occur almost side by side. Less than a decade separates the com pleton of Johnsons Lives of the Poets'-happily honored in the new edition Of the late Dr. Birkbeck Hill from the publication of his own life cy Boswell. Yet with the latter book new type of biography came into being. Johnson. In the main, had. Ske most of his predecessors. fol lowed simple narrative and exposi. tory method. prefixing a plain story or the poets life to systematic ac- count of his character and a critical estimate of his works; he gathered his facts and impressions together and spoke for the author and for him. selt. Boswell, on the other hand. making use of moro dramatic method, succeeded in his attempt to let the author reveal himself, and. in. stead of an exposition of character, painted a picture of personality. to which his own comments were sub ordnate. What We see as a type of mind and character in Johnson's work, We see as living man in Boswell.- The Forum

REST THAT RESTA

Rest means rest.
 Cut out" worrying.
 Rest with capital R.
 Few persons know how to rest. Rushing for trains and boats isn't resting.
 Being elbowed by a vulgar mob isn't resting.
 Neither is staying home and being annoyed by endless details.
 overdressing, overeating and too much excitement are not restful. 0Ver Sunday rest is best accom- pnshed by trip to some restful place. The idea Is to discover what best agrees with one and then to follow 1t 1 we'll as possible.
