 Youua Andrews was senior ln the Oxford High school, but was so dlin dent that he did not wish to take part in the graduation exercises, especially as he was the only boy.

dictive, inflexible, crafty and un-
scrupulOus man, whose subtle inven-
lions, irrespective of the result, were
always conceived either to crafty his
vaulted ambition or advance his die
torial political aspirations; while up
on the other hand, he was one OF the
most devoted statesmen and patriots
that have graced French history, who
irrespective of condition, state or
creed, always selected his lieutenants
from the ablest aspirants. Mr.. James
presents Richelieu, subtle, shrewd,
vindictive, tower of ecclesiastical
strength and political distinction,
whose greatest ambition is to see
France mistress of the world, and
Richelieu her sponsor. In represent
ing this complex character to follow
Virginus Louis James displays his
wonderful versatility, as the stride
from one to the other is great one,
yet so consummate is the art Of this
excellent actor, that, like colossus,
he strides the gap and offers two
transformations absolutely different,
yet, each a cameo cut delineatiOn.
His "Ingomar" is too we'll known
to necessitate any lengthy introduce
ton as it has stood the test of crit
ical analysis for thirty years and has
at all times been accepted as the
greatest in America.

James has placed his destiny this
year has given fine cast of we'll
known actors to support his star.

in the morning and quit at seven in the
evening. In winter the day was from

They laughed. And you had no Sat-

happen in forty years..
That Saturday afternoon found me in
a particularly busy neighborhood down
town where at the rush hours, the
crowds Of workers Fastening to and
from their shops made the streets fair

deserted in fact. Coming over 1 had

1t was Mr.. Gompers who was in
strumental in enforcing the law, estab-
fishing it upon financial New York;
much to its disgust. 1t protested loud
ly to the legislature that business would
desert the metropolis and move to Jer
sey and Connecticut where it was not
so hampered. Instead the half holiday
has invaded those states and all others,
as Mr.. Gompers predicted it would.
And from month or two months, it
has stretched over the whole summer,
and the winter, too, in the trades.

The nation is his debtor. The old

taking time to think, finding leisure
to live Only at the top and at the
bottom does the waste go on. The get

hurry as ever. Perhaps feeling that
it won't last makes him go at even
a harder pace. In Poverty Row, where
children work, the day is as long as
ever, and in the tenement houses that
thread mill grinds by day as by night.
But in the war upon these evils out
ragged humanity is joining hands with
organized labor, and the fight will be
won, for the social conscience is
