cabies are happy they do

their fat is laid up for

lPrize.1

M HEN I was about 6 years
w of age I was accused and
/ rightly, too, Of taking the mince
pie which my mother had made
one. morning. i owned up to my
mother that L had eaten the pie
and asked her not to tell my
father, who had not long before
told me that the next time s took !,
anyt thing without leave he would
have to: strap me-. 4 pleaded and
pleaded with my mother, but of
no use, because my mother had
the habit of always sticking to
her :. resolutions. When my
father came home that evening
I had my plans made for my
own defense somewhat in this
fashion: "Oh, papa, yos, know
what a temptation it is for a
little fellow like me when he
sees pie, especially mince pie,
on one of those low shelves just
where he can reach it. I am
such little fellow and since
pies are made to eat I did not
think of the wrong was doing
and I just had to have that pie;
and papa, you know I am not to
blame for having a mama who
can make such good pies, so I
don't think you should strap me
this time. Let me have one
more chance and I will try to
leave pies alone until mealtime. "
My pleading was effective, but I
did not at that time understand
the significant glances exchanged
by my father and mother. r.

hoped there will be some means pro-
vided this year for carrying for the
crowds in this respect. it is clear that
street car line for that purpose is
almost an imperative necessity.
These are matters that arise from
the demands of the attractions which
are destined to bring large crowds to
the city. They are such as to demand
careful attention from the people who
are interested in getting them here
1t may be possible that the paving
of the streets would deter the matter
of constructing an extensive system
at this time, but it is hardly good
policy to withhold important improve
ments until the city is forever fixed

ly be improved next year and by that
time the city should have system of

over; when the valiant though beaten
foe had bowed to the power of the
conqueror; when the first pact that
was to bind up the bleeding wounds
of the country had been written in
words that burned with the love OF
the brotherhood OF man, how silently
they passed into the life from which
they came. When the long line, Of
heroes has passed from the sight OF
those who watched the line of faded
blue on Pennsylvania avenue in that
last review OF the veteran army, they
left not one unworthy deed TO their
discredit
And when they passed from soldiers
to citizens, they did so without Il
ripple on the surface of the sea Of
the national life to tell where they had
disappeared from the one to become
the other.
These men were far more than sol
diers. They were more that patriots.
even They were imbued with a spirit
loftier than that which makes either.
They were contending for the principle
of human rights-not of their own, but
of race whose letters had been
rivited with sanction of law, and
against which there was only the
power of moral opposition.
They were fighting for Il principle
which concerned others. Not fire
side was endangered because of the
condition which they sought to
remedy, so far as it concerned those
who were willing to risk all for the
maintenance of what they believed
to be right 1t was those who could
not themselves throw off the tyranny
of their masters. and for the millions
yet unborn that they fought. The
unselfish motives give the soldiers Of
the union place sacred in the his
tory of the human race.

the strewing of the graves OF the dead
has taught those who will soon be

may burn anew and that the incense
may ascend unto heaven as an Offer

The Heir to the Hoorah.

1AC ~ TIC 11VUIdus
Having achieved such measure of sue
cess as finds expression in a four
months run" at a principal New York
theater, The Heir to the Hoorah",
announced as new American comedy
by Paul Armstrong, produced by the
late Kirke La Shelle, comes to the
Metropolitan Friday May II. THE
Heir to the Horrah" out ran, in New
York, last spring and summer all
dramatic offerings of contemporaneous
production and only succumbed to the
silly season when two of the Broadway
theaters, which advertised specially
made summer musical shows, had to
close their doors on account of the
insufferably hot weather. AS "The
Heir to the Hoorah" is listed by every
competent newspaper critic of New
York among the five most successful
plays of the season, its presentation
here will be a matter of considerable
interest to judicious patrons of the
theater and special interest to the
growing and enthusiastic cult which
stands for the American drama as OPP
posed to the adaptation from foreign
sources, and the direct importation of
stage fabrics made in Great Britain"
Lest the casual reader be. mislead by
the rather weird title of Mr.. Arm
strong's play. it must be explained that
the "Hoorah" is the name of a gold
mine and the Heir" male infant sup
posedly born in a chamber adjoining
the one shown on the stage in which
the action of the play takes place. The
