Alfred Sutro has yet to write another
Walls of Jericho" A good many people
thought he had done this in The Perfect
Lover, in which Lewis Waller has been ap-
pearing. but this piece is being with
drawn after a run of slightly over fifty
nights and early in January Waller Is TO
produce The Harlequin King of which
much is expected. This is an adaptation
from the German, and is rather on the lines
of IF l Were King" the hero being a
strolling player who. having Killed the heir
To the throne in fair fight, is compelled
by circumstances to take his place. The
original play. which is by Herr Lohar, was
interdcted in Germany as an overt attack
on the kaiser and the monarchy. and,
thanks tn this advertisement, no doubt, has
been played over 5000 times in the father
land. 1t is, however, described as rOusng
play. and may give Waller the chance he
has been looking for ever since London got
tired. after numberless revivaIs. of his great
trump card. the Americau-made Monsieur
Bea GCaiEc.'

Until about a week ago comparatively

that daughter of Victor Hugo was still

who was this ladys guardian. called atten-

country house, not far from Paris under the
care of two nurses. Thanks TO the royal

into Paris and taken to d matinee at one
OF the tlpaters, and there she sits in cor
ne~ of the stage box believing that the
piece she is watching is one OF her own

Occasionally she sends round little notes,

Woman County Clerk in Texas.
From the Houston Post

Mrs. Emma l.. Wooten, county and dis
trict clerk of Chambers county, il perhaps
the only woman legally elected and holding
a county office of like nature in Texas. Her
husband was the occupant of the Office until
his death which occurred two years ago.
No public official in any county OF Texas
is perhaps more successful in the discha rye
of the duties of the office than Mrs. Wooten,
and when the present term shall have ex-
pired there is doubt in the minds of the
people that if the lady wants the office
again she can get It.

The Olympic victory.

With nearly three times as many
points to her credit as her nearest
competitor, Greece, the United States
emerges an easy winner from the
greatest and latest of the international
athletic "meets" of the world. Her
athletes scored rs 1-2 points against
Greece's q 1.2. The totals Of England,
Australia and Canada amounted to So
points, somewhat exceeding the
Creeks record, and Sweden, with 96
points, was not far behind.
The superiority of the Yankee athle-
tic specialist may, therefore, be con-
sidered as rather conclusively proved
by the result of the last of these his
torid Olympic festivals, whose Off
cial records go back at least to 776 B.
c., when Coroebus' victory in the foot
race set down the date of the first
Olympiad.
Naturally enough, perhaps, some OF
our national competitors have mani
tested disposition to be somewhat
captious in criticism of American
athletic methods. "Ycu may be un-
beatable," they say, Sin specialists,
such as runners or jumpers or discus
throwers or shot-putters and the
like, but when it comes to all around
athletes, which, of course, it was the
original purpose of the Olympic games
to encourage, you really wouldn't be
in it with u.s."
Modesty is as peculiarly becoming
virtue in victor as in a Young lady,
but without any intention OF rubbing
it in" we venture to remark that this
skepticism regarding the Yankees
all-round athletic ability is not logi-
cal conclusion from the available
facts. II our soil produces men able
to win in most Of the special events,
the presumption is certainly in favor
Of the conclusion that the American
climate is also good one from the
general athletic point of view.
As matter of fact, our record in this
field pears out such belief. Regard
ing the original purpose of the Greek
games, while there seems to have
been an event called the pentathlon,
of five-fold competition, consisting of
running, jumping, wrestling, and dis
Gus and javelin throwing, most of the
contests were of special sort, calling
for special training, 30 that the winners
must have been specialists, as they are
today.
A possible reason for American
success in this as in other fields is the
fact that we are highly composite
breed. We have incorporated into
our national body representatives Of
nearly every race on earth. It is not
at all surprising, therefore, that we
do more things we'll than the purer
racial strains. Mr.. Luther Burbank's
California ranch, where new and i'm
proved species and varieties of plants
are being discovered every day, is
really microscopic picture of the
way nature and evolution are working
with the strange racial mixture which
is pouring into this country by the
million every year.
