Sir Henry as a Witness.

The late Sir Henry Irving was at

robbery. He had seen a sneak thief
make off with girls pocketbook, and
he consented to appear as a witness

that roars and rants at witnesses and
attempts to break them down. He

PLEASURE FOR THE INVALID.
Little Things That Add t. the Com
fort of Shut-lns.

A magnet attached to ribbon is a
boon to an invalid able to do needle
work. Dropped to the floor. it will
find and return the lost scissors,
needle or thimble.
A call-bell or small hand-bell should
be a part of every invalid's equipment,
insuring prompt attendance upon her
wants, and likewise relieving busy
caretaker of anxiety while engaged in
other duties.
Brushing the invalid's hair and bath
ing her hands and face are services
that can scarcely be performed too
frequently, giving. as they do, such
large returns in comfort, and often in
ducing sleep.
A field-glass and a graphophone are
happy gifts. One reveals interesting
objects that without it are mere dots
on the landscape. and the other means
for her what going to concert does
TO you.

WHY HE DIDN'T WAIT.
Office Boy Thought Note on Door

A group of actors sat waiting for

turned to the subject of smart boys.

office boy who was the greatest sue

MAKING OF PONY BALLETS.
No Trouble in Finding Girls to Meet
All Demands.

Girls for stage shows are now made
in quantities, it would seem, beyond
the demands, says Franklin Fyles, in
his New York letter to the Chicago
Tribune. One trainer has 20 differ
ent dozens ready for next winter. III
you need something in the pony ballet
way he will take you to hall where
he exercises and exhibits his girls
privately. Each set has it's own
songs, dances, costumes and scenery,
and is to have a figurehead; but for
these trade displays the trainer him
self serves as a leader, While they
go through with their performance
without emitting so much as nod
or a smile. 1t will make you feel
foolish, though, If you are not
Snowman, to have them go through
their tricks of witchery for you alone.
Some of these dozens have been put
into the roof gardens already. A
fair example is called Rain Bears"
and it's girls are smallish of stature,
timber of limb and fair faced, al
though none is a beauty. Neva Ay-
mar is the soubrette who sets the
rapid pace tor them. At first they are
hidden down to their waists in enor-
nous false heads, while their hips
serve as shoulders to bogus arms, so
that for the time being they are hid
eous dwarfs ina demoniac orgy. Sud
denly the big heads turn inside out
and drop down behind the skirts of
neat rustic maidens, the scene changes
to a corn field, and they dance around
shocks of the grain. A second shift
is to an arctic view. and the heaps
of corn become snow, behind which
the girls alter their dress to that of
Eskimos for polar song and dance.
Finally, there is a rain storm, with
a thin frontage of actually wet water,
in which the rain dears gambol under
tarpaulin hats and rubber overcoats
like idealized fishermen.

WAGES AND COST OF LIVING
Good-Times Incomes and Hard-Times
Prices Never Come Together.

The question is: Has the average
man been better off in the last six or
seven years than he was In the six or
seven years preceding 1S99-1900? Is
he better able now to have the things
he wants than he was 10 or IL years
ago?
He is. Beyond the shadow of a
shade of doubt he is. We have but to
look about us to see the proofs on
every hand. We have but to think
back to find these proofs in our own
knowledge.
The average man Is able to live in
a better house. better furnished, and
wear better clothes now than then.
He has more money in the bank, he
fails less frequently In business, he
has fewer debts which he cannot pay
when due. These are undeniable
facts.
Then why this wild cutlery from
Iowa? 1t is true that prices are high
er. but so are incomes. The average
man has to pay out more, but he also
gets in more and is able to save more
III ne CHOOSES.
What these Iowa Democrats really
call for is hard-times prices with good
times incomes. No way has ever
been found of having these two
things at once. We can have one or
the other-hard times with low prices
or prosperity with high prices-but
not both.
We tried in 1892 the remedy for
high prices which the Iowa Democrats
now again propose. We let the Dem
ocratic party break down the tariff 20
get lower prices.
Well, we got low prices-and we
also got low incomes. We got rid of
high prices-and we also got rid Of
prosperity. We swore we would no
longer be robbed under the shelter
of the tariff'-and we were soon
luxuriating in the pleasing sensation
that we were entirely safe from rob-
berry, having nothing left to be robbed
Of

prices now think back and remember

he better off then than he is now?

"Mizpah" as History.

It is an interesting coincidence that
Luscombe Searelle and Ella Wheeler
Wilcox's poetical drama, "Mizpah,"
should be brought forward for pro-
duction at a time when the attention
of the civilized world is turned upon
the Jewish massacres in Russia. The
story of "Mizpah" is that of Esther,
as related in the Old Testament book
of that name, the Jewish maiden who
became queen of Persia by her mar
riage to King Ahasuerus, and saved
her people from slaughter by interces-
sion with the monarch.
Curiously enough, another Jewess,
Esther, also by name, attracted the
love of a gentle king, Cassimir the
Great of Poland. who reigned from
1888 to 1870, and though he did not
make Esther his queen, history re-
lates that she was able to protect
her people in time of persecution. She
has been made the subject of several
historical novels, and her memory is
preserved by her tomb at Lozbow,
near Cracow, once her residence.

THE TICKING OF THE CLOCK.
Soothing Company to Some Sleepera

like the ticking Of clock; it is
pleasant sound to most people, but
not to ALL
Some people, clock lovers these,
couldn't sleep without clock in the
same room. IT'S ticking Is company
and it scares away the spooks. Such
people would wake up If the clock
should stop IN the middle of the
night.
But there are other people who
can't sleep with a clock in the same
room and who, if they found them
selves in strange place anywhere
with a clock in their sleeping apart
ment, would stop the clock before
they went to bed.
"Of course there Is much of habit
in this; but We have our fancies about
clocks, as we do about all things
else"

SAVE LABOR IN KITCHEN.
Poaching Cups the Latest Utensil to
Find Favor.

Poaching cups that hold eggs so
they will not have to be dropped into
the water to cook are among the
useful new fall utensils that all
housewives who do their own work
will appreciate as being economical
and labor savers"
These poaching cups, in which the
eggs are cooked by steam, are shall
low and round, and fit into metal lid
perforated SO the steam can come
through. The pan on which this lid
fits Is round and about two inches
deep, plenty large enough to be used
as a cooker for cereals. 1t Is filled
when in use with boiling water, and
wnen the eggs are dropped into the
cups that have already been heated a
tight fitting top is placed over the
poachers to prevent the steam and
heat from escaping.
1t takes two minutes to poach eggs
in this way, and the trouble OF drop
ping them into the water and fishing
them out with ladle is done away
with. Besides it is less trouble to
prepare eggs in this fashion, and
when served they look so much more
inviting than when the edges are
ragged, for when cooked in a cup
they are always well rounded and the
yolk is invariably in the center. They
really taste better, too, for there is
no possibility of being water soaked,
a fault that many find with poached
eggs. Then. too, they may be turned
out of cups onto plates or toast, and
look SO dainty and tempting that
even an invalid person with jaded
appetite would be hungry after seeing
them. The price is not more than so
cents for the pan and half dozen
poachers.

Jellied Chicken.

Select for this a fowl rather than a
.hicken, as the long cooking will make
it tender. SINCE, clean. and cut il u,
as for fricasse, put in kettle with
one-half of a small onion, stuck with
a Glove, and one stalk of celery. cover
with boiling water and simmer until
the meat falls from the bones, adding
one teaspoonful of salt when hall
done. Take out the chicken and cool,
down the liquor to three-quarters of o
cupful, then strain it and skim off the
fat. Lightly butter mold and deco
rate the bottom and sides with slices
of hard boiled eggs and stoned olives.
Free the meat from the skin, bone and
fat, and pack it in the mold, sprinkling
with salt, add the liquor and set aside
to cool.

Brilliant Revisionists.

Our tariff revision friends have
been revising their platform, as per
announcement. They now favor
placing lumber. coal and nearly all
trust controlled goods on the free
list reducing the duty on necessities
OF life and on American-madc goods
sold cheaper abroad than at home
After placing all trust controlled
goods on the free list We see no ne
cessity for reducing the duty on ne
cessities of life or on goods sold
cheaper abroad than at home. for
there wouldn't be any duty left to re-
duce. According to the statements
made by the advocates for revision,
all commodities are controlled by
trusts, especially the goods that are
sold cheaper abroad than at home.
Then it follows that if nearly all
these goods are placed on, the free list
there will be little use for further re-
vision or for custom houses We will
not have even the Democratic tariff
for revenue only" We would like to
have Eb. Huntington or Bert Miller
explain what he proposes to do to
raise revenue with which to run
the government. He might also tell
just what few trusts are going to be
favored, the ones that do not come

are to be exempt because OF a hand
