Is -, ->.r'-sa'.
! ON THE LOCAL STAGE
Arthur Donaldson to Head the Cast in.
{ a Production Of August Blanche
Great Play. -t7 = z7aa-!.

's'Engelbrekt and his Dalecartians,,'
the patriotic Swedish drama to be per-
formed by the Swedish Dramatic seeie-
ty at the Auditorium Thursday night,
May IL, with Arthur Donaldson in. the
leading role, is the masterpiece Of Au-.
gust Blanche. Engelbrekt Engelbrekts-
son is the earliest and greatest Of the
patriotic heroes Of Swedish history.
Himself nobleman, he sympathized
with the oppressed men of the people,
and at the head Of his sturdy Dalecar.
tians brought all Sweden in arms to
throw up the protectorate of Denmark:
King Eric. XII 5G had, by his his. grand ID
united Kingdoms of Sweden, Norway
and Denmark of the needs Of which
he, a German prince, understood little.
His foreign .bailiffs in Sweden, mostly
Danes, were still less in sympathy with
his Swedish subjects. Twice Engel-
brekt appeared as a spokesman for his
people at the court of Copenhagen but
in vain. Then he gathered his sturdy
Dalecartians and marching from prov
,ince to province expelled the Danes.
He refused the crown and died mar
tyr's death at the hand of an assassin,
in. the year of 1896. -,
The drama. of Engelbrekt's life is by
+ August Blanche interviewer with love
story between Engelbrekt' s daughter
Ingelbarg and :Akilzard, the son Of the
cruel governor Of Dalecartia and West
mourland, Joesse Ericsson. The ele-
ments Of humor are richly. furnished
by, the coarse but intelligent men Of
Dalecartia, who speak as frankly. to the
king and queen as to the members of
their own humble families.
The patriotic songs of the drama will
be sang by the Orphens club while the
be performed according to the instrue'
tions of Mr.. Herman Curtson Of the
| Skarvsen National Dancers.

CALL OF "DlE FE7NE."
Josiah Flynt Describes the Fesilng that
 Led Him Away from Hone.

From Success Magazine.
 This call of Die Ferne," as the Ger
 mans name it, this almost unexplainable
 sympathy with the slightest appeal or
 temptation to project myself into the be-
 yond-the world outside of my narrow vll-
 lage world-was my trouble from almost
 babyhood until comparatively few years ago. The longing to go would come upon
 me without any warning in the dead of
 night sometimes, stealing into my con-
 sciousness under varying disguses as the
 years went by and the passion required
 fresh incentives to become active and
 alert. In the beginning a sudden turn of the imagination sufflced to send me world-
 wards, and I would be off, without let or leave, for a week at least, usually bring
 ing up at the home of relatives in north ern Wisconsin. They would entertain me
 for time, and then I would be shipped back to the village to await another seiz-
 ure. On one of these return trips trav- eled on one of the most unconventional railroad passes I have ever known. The relative who generally superintended the return to the village was an editor well known in his locality and to railroad men on the road. On one of the last visits paid to his home he determined not to trust me with the necessary money for the ticket, but to give me a personal note to the conductor, which he did. It read: 'Thls is a runaway boy. Please pass him to - and collect fare from me on your return." It was as serviceable at the time as any bona fide pass, annual or oth- erwlse, that l have had and used in later years.

Best Christmas Gift.
Harden, in Success Magazine.

O. S. Marden, in Success Magazine.
 A great many people think that because they are not able to give Christmas gifts. because they cannot give money or what it will buy, they can give nothing. How little we realize that the best thing any body can give in this world is not money. not clothing, fuel or provisions, but him. self.
 I know a lady who is very poor. She has no money to give to the poor at Christmas But she goes around for days before Christmas, visiting every person she hears of being sick or crippled or un- fortunate, everyone who has any trouble, whether she knows him or not. And she gives out such wealth of love- of sym- pathy, of encouragement, good cheer and sunshine, that these people feel enriched for whole year. The material things they receive are cold and unsympat thetic in comparison with what this poor woman gives them. On the other hand I know a man, wealthy but selfish, whose con- science begins to trouble him just be- fore Christmas, and he sends out checks, coal, clothing and provisions to poor peo- pie. Then he feels sort of relief; he has eased his conscience, which prodded him. But he rarely, if ever, goes to see these poor people-never gives them anything of himself, his encouragement or good cheer.
 This is not the spirit of Christmas. The spirit of Christmas is the Christ spirit. the helpful spirit It is the giving of what Christ gave. He had no money to give-He was the poorest of the poor-but did ever any Croesus have so much to give? Did any millionaire ever radiate so much power and hope to the discouraged, so much good cheer to the disheartened, or so much comfort to the sick and the sorrowing?

resents less than 5000. One is made out for $30,O00. The total amount of money represented in one room is more than $SOO0,000. In another room that was deco rated in this way is a small panel of about 40 checks that represent quarter of a million dollars.
 The cheeks are so much alike and are matched so evenly upon the walls that the extraordinary design is not noticed upon first entering the room. The panels look as if papered with ordinary wall paper of an oblong pattern On every check appears the signature of Frank F. Stoller, one of the firm. "I never thought" |" he said, 'of how much money I had signed away until had the walls papered with these checks. Some of these checks tell stories Here's one that was given to Kirk Armour for the last bunch of cattle that he produced on his farm at Waldo, Mo, and this one for $12,OO0 was drawn to pay for the first shipload of cattle that we shipped to Cuba after the war;
 More than 2000 checks were used in pa pering one of the rooms.

AGE LIMIT FOR RAILWAY MEN.
Rule Against Employing New Men
 Past 35 a Dead Letter.

Some railroads Oslerized Osler not long ago by adopting rule forbidding the employment of new men past 35 years of age.
 It is gratifying, says the Railway Car mems Journal to learn that the absurdity of limiting the age at which railway man is eligible for employment is passing away more rapidly than the promoters of such measure expected.
 Already the principal roads in America where the experiment has been tried have abandoned the regulation. The Boston and Maine, the Alton, the St. Paul and the Burlington are virtually Ignoring the age limit regulation. and, guided by com mon sense, are hiring men more with a view to their qualifications than to the exact number of years which they may have lived.
 Experience and capability are the real tests of mans fitness for any position, and if railway official makes the mis- take of hiring an incompetent man there is no law compelling the company to con- tinue to employ him. Years in themselves are no criterion
 Some men are old at 40 Others are young at 60. In any event it is safe to assume that a lack of the suppleness of youth is often more than made up for by the wider experience of added years.

but my idea was to catch her alive. I often got within rushing distance of her.. and then made my rush; but always just as l made my final plunge and was only two or three inches from there and I brushed the tail feathers as I landed on my stomach-a very close call, but still not quite close enough; that is, not close enough for success, but just cfose enough 10 convince me that l could do it next time. She always waited for me, a little piece away, and let on to be resting and greatly fatigued; which was a lie, but l believed it, for I still thought her honest long after I ought to have begun to doubt her, suspecting that this was no way for high-minded bird to be act ing. l followed, and followed, and fol- lowed, making my periodical rushes, and getting up and brushing the dust off, and resuming the voyage with patient conf- dence.
 l did not get her at all When she got tired of the game at last, she rose from almost under my hand and flew aloft with the rush and whir of shell and lit on the highest limb of a great tree and sat down and crossed her legs and smiled down at me, and seemed gratifed to see me so astonished

Out of Prisoni

From "The Second Offense," by William Hamilton Osborre, in Success Maga- zine"
 He stepped slowly out into the warm sunshine. He was free, free He could hardly realize it. He laughed aloud for the first time in seven years. He felt as a man feels who, after a life struggle. has suddenly completed a life's work, some masterpiece some stupendous work of art. He was bewildered. He didn' know what to do.
 Free, free" he said aloud It was dusk when he came to himself. He was sitting on a fence by road side, looking about him, with the glory of the early summers growth around him. In his hand was a wild flower. He remembered vaguely that he had stopped over, times innumerable, and kissed this flower for very joy. He was hysterical he could 80 where he pleased, do what he pleased.
 With this sense of freedom there re- turned his longing for home He was a domestic man, of proper in- stincts, He would go home. Home" he whispered softly, with Molly and with Steve" Molly-his face quivered. For the first time he began to realize that she was dead. But there was Steve. And he felt the same longing for Steve and home that he had felt for liberty. He would go to Steve.
 On his way to Steve he began to patch the fragments that had to do with Steve. Steve-had married. hadn't he? Yes. Steve had married. He remembered that Mo Clenahan shivered. And Steves wife What would she think of him? What would she do? What would she say? And had he changed-Steve? Perhaps.
 For two days, with the money that he had, he kept away from Steve. He walked about New York One of the two nights he went to a roof garden--it was good. to get back again. Now and then he would hurriedly sink about a corner or dart into doorway-he had seen one whom he knew.
 On the third day he went to Steve S fiat boldly. Steve would be expecting him. He went in the daytime, while Steve was away. It was hard to do that. but not so hard as to have Steve bring him in.
 She knew him at once. Steve's wife. Grandpa" she cried with joy-ioy ap- parent. possibly real. It broke the ice.
 Grandpa" he laughed back. why" Then he remembered. Steve had 2 baby. a girl baby. Such a baby.
 McClenahan looked squarely in the eyes of his sons wife. You know all about me, I suppose" he said, curtly. Stephen has told"
 She nodded Then she came over and kissed him. She placed his granddaughter in his lap. McClenahan tried to struggle to his feet. tried to ward off this thing that gripped him. Then. suddenly, 1t caught him. and he dropped his head upon his breast and cried like men cry in the throes of unutterable remorse.

Mark Twain on Hunting Turkey.

From Harpers Magazine.
 When mamma turkey answers an in- vitation and finds she has made a mistake in accepting it, she does as mamma partridge does-remembers a previous en- gagement and goes limping and scram- bling away, pretending to be very lamc; and at the same time she is saying to her not-visible children, Lie low, keep still, cont expose yourselves; I shall be back as soon as 1 have beguiled this sha'soy swindler out of the country"
 When person is ignorant and confdirg, this immirtal device can have tiresome results. l followed an ostensibly lame turkey over a considerable part of the United States one morning, because I be- lieved in her and could not think she would deceive a mere boy, and one who was trusting her and considering her hon. est. l had the single e-barrelled shotgun,

Punishment.

From 'Lily-Ann,' by Florence Tlnsley
 Cox, in the December McClure's.
 It was very quiet in my little room af- ter she had gone. I could hear the dishes rattling downstairs, as Norah set the ta- ble with a bang of the plates and a thump of the knives. We were going to have honey for supper, and little cakes with frosted tops baked in scalloped pat ty-pans I wondered whether I should have any supper, or must lie there in the dark, while they talked about me at the supper table, I did not think that I could enjoy frosted cake baked in scalloped pat ty-pans if my little girl were alone up- stairs in the dark. When I grew up and married, for I might well marry now, l would never treat anyone so. Neverl Never!! Never,ii
 "Oh, please, God, let me hurry and grow up," I whispered to the darkness. And, oh, please, God, let me have frosted cake for my supperi'
