Harry Beresford.
Harry Beresford, the we'll known
star who is appearing this season in
The Woman Hater," tells the story
OF how he took his little niece to a
vaudeville theatre.
Nellie enjoyed the show very
much. said Mr. Beresford, although
she kept very quiet through most of
the acts. Finally, when it came time
to put on the Biograph pictures, the
lights went out and for some reason
there was some little delay. Evident
ly 1t struck Nellie's juvenile mind that
something was wrong, and her dag
nosis of the situation was as follows.
"Plucking at my coat sleeve, she
called out in her childish treble that
could be heard all over the house:
i say, Uncle Harry, somebody'll
have to put a quarter in the gas meter
Or we can't see what they are going To
do.
1T is needless to say that this re-
mark was the hit of the evening"

Madeleine Lucetta Rvley, one of the
most successful playwrights of the
present day, was born in London, Oct.
IA, 1868. Though an English woman
by girth. Mrs. Ryley has spent the
greater part of her life in America and
it Is on this side of the Atlantic that
all of her plays have been first pro-
duced. She went on the stage at the
early age of Is. and was prima donna
of several we'll known companies in
America. In 1893 she definitely gave
up the stage and took to writing short
stories and sketches for American
magazines. From this work she de-
veloped into dramatic author and
during the past decade her pen pro-
duced number of plays that met with
great success in both America and
England. Among her most successful
works have been IAN American Citi-

The Care of Shade Trees.

From the Outing Magazine
1t Will be well to look to the shade trees
early IN the season. The gypsy moth, which
infested naples in many parts of the coun-
try late last fall, may have left eggs which
escaped the application of insecticide ad-
yised at that time. / would advise going
over these trees this month with the follow
Ing preparation which I have found better
than anything else I have ever tried: Melt
pound of Ivory soap and mix with 1t,
while quite warm. one pint of kerosene.
Agitate until complete union takes place.
The mixture can then be added to twelve
quarts of water. An emulsion will readily
be formed by the operation of the sprayer
Spray the trees thoroughly among their
branches, but scrub their trunks, using for
this part of the work a stiff-bristled scrub
bling brush, with handle inserted In side IN
stead OF top. This will enable you to get
the emulsion well in among the bark. where
eggs may have been deposited. If insects
appear, repeat the application.
In fighting tree enemies, not mitch can be
accomplished In town or village where resi-
dences are close together. unless all prop
erty owners work In union with each other.
II and C viii do nothing to rout the pest
BIS efforts viii count for little Here is
where community interests should prompt
each lot owner to cooperate heartily with
his neighbor.

So reads the sign on a large card on an
ice cooler which stands In the main corrt-
dor of the second floor leading from the
office of the Secretary of the Navy to that
of the Secretary of War. The warning no.
tice was the result of a fast-groW1ng habit
on the part of excursioMsts who pass
through the building in large numbers help
ing themselves to the ice In the cooler
by simply removing the cover and insert
ing their hands or washing their hands
from the spigot. The practice became 80
common that the clerks who used the cool
err for drinking purposes were compelled to
make protest with the result that the
warning sign was displayed for the bene-
fit of those who don't know any better.

THE RUSSIAN POLICE.
Ludicrous Mistakes Made by Ignor-

From the World Today,

From the World Today.
The cars whole bureaucracy has for
years been so thoroughly detested by all
classes of Russians that now It IS mainly
filled by the least intelligent of the popu-
lation. And of these the police are the
worst. 1 myself was arrested several times
many correspondents are, and found
the police in every instance the most dense
of mortals. From my newspaper friends
l heard scores of stories about this stu
pidity. These two are typical:
Some time ago man threw a bomb at
governor, killed him and escaped. The
government sent all over the empire a pla-
card with two photographs of the assassin,
his front view and his profile. And three
weeks later a policeman In western Siberia
telegraphed:

At midnight In Petersburg an innocent,
peace-loying professor stood on a bridge
staring down into the sluggish waters OF

sis the dulest idiot in Russia"
Instantly a big policeman pounced upon
him out of the darkness. and without
word began dragging; him off. The poor
old professor shook with terror,

A Wonderful Feat of Endurance.

From Leslie's Weekly
All the automobile endurance contests
are thrown into the shade by the remark
able performance Of Emil Bouhours OF
Paris who rode bicycle S15 miles and 291
yards In twenty-four hours. at the re-
markable average rate of thirty-four miles
an hour When one considers the delay
and stops entailed in such race, 1t means
that for hours the rider must have been
pedaling his bicycle at the rate of fifty
miles an hour, and sometimes even faster
than that. The old record for the time
was 634 miles and 81 yards, or about seven
hours slower than BoUhours' record 1t is
true that Bouhours was paced by q motor
cycle. but he rode without wind shield
and for large part of the time he made
his own pace. The weather was intensely
cold and seriously affected Bouhours In
the last four hours of his riding. He says
that under better weather and pacing con-
ditions he would be able to cover 1000
miles in twenty-four hours.
