guides the ship.
All the great steamers are sreered
nowadays by the AL OF steam or cleo

men ut times would struggle with the

been killed by the rapid revolving Of

pleasantness. l thought of the good

condemnation what he had to say and
why sentence should not be pronounced
upon him, entreated the 'ourt to have

A PATERNAL CRITICISM.
Sir Henry IrvinG's Comment ON His
Sons Early Hamlet.

Sir Henry IrvinG's Comment on His
Sons Early Hamlet.
II. b. Irving, son of Sir Henry Irv-
ing, was not educated primarily for the
stage Studying for the profession of
barrister, while he was still in college
he took part in amateur theatricals.
An amusing story is told of one of his
earlier interpretations of the difficult
role Of Hamlet. On this particular and
early occasion, however, Sir Henry
was "out in front" and after the per-
formance several, including his son,
crowded about him for an expression
of opinion.
"What do you think of Smith as Po-
lonius?" asked one.
Good, very good" murmured Sir
Henry in his quiet. kindly way.
"And Miss Blank as Ophelia ?"
"Good, very good" again murmured
Sir Henry.
"And Jones as the king?"
"Good, very good" repeated Sir
Henry.
"And Thomas as Horatio?"
Good, very good" came the answer.
So the entire cast was gone through
with the exception Of the principal
character, and each received the same
precise, neat criticism, good, very
good" Then there was a slight pause,
an awkward pause, after which the
son, who had been waiting eagerly and
anyiOusly for his fathers opiniOn about
his acting, managed to pluck up
enough courage to stammer, "But, ia
ther-what did you think of-the rest
of the cast?"
Sir Henry looked blandly at his son
and then remarked dryly, "Are you
lure that you want to be an actor, my
son ?"-Bohemian Magazine.

MAN AND MONEY.
The Change That Often Comes With
the Acquisition of Wealth.

The Change That often Comes with
the Acquisition of Wealth.
The Transforming power Of money
the moment it gets into mans pos
session Is one Of the unsolved mys-
teries of the universe. OF course we
know that the poison of avarice and
greed Is in the character and not in
the money, but 1t is unfortunate that
the possession Of money seems to de-
velop, to bring out, some of the worst
human qualities, qualities which never
develop In poverty or show themselves
under ordinary circumstances.
Before we get possession of money
we feel sure that we will not allow it
to warp and twist our ideals. We are
going to show the world sane use of
money. We are going to help every
body. We are going to help struggling
merit, assist poor boys and girls to get
an education and to get start In the
world. We are going to be helpful and
useful in the largest possible way.
But 1t Is strange trait In human
aature that, no matter how humble or
democratic or helpful and companion
able people may be while poor, just as
soon as the average man gets more
than his fellows he begins to domineer
over them and to use the very wealth
which he was so anxious to get to en-
able him to help his fellow men to
oppress and keep them down.---O. S.

Now, Mrs. Brown, / want
to impress on you the neces-

nothing but food which you
know to be pure.
What do you care most
about in the way of meats?
Oysters? Well, that's all
right, provided they are
Sealshipt, but l should not
advise you to risk any other
kind. But the Sealshipt
oysters are protected from
contamination. They are
packed at the beds in a seal
ed enamel case, with the ice
outside. That keeps them
free from dirt and germs.
The ice we use is not always
above suspicion, and | should
not risk letting it touch any
food.
'It's better to be sure than
sorry" and with Sealshipt
oysters you may be sure that
you are getting absolutely
pure food. They are easily
digested, so let the children
have them as they like.
But, remember, nothing
but Sealshipt-you mustn't
take chances with children's
stomachs.

Ruef and Phillips have in common at

The action of Phillips in visiting
Ruef is not without precedent. Other
witnesses in the graft investigation
have been in conference with Ruef or
his attorneys. Shortridge, who is
Ruef's lawyer in the French restaurant
cases, has been particularly attentive
to Eddie Graney of late.
The name of Ruef had not been pre-

that ii was one of the few cases in
which members of the Board of Su-
pervisors had taken action without con-
