HENRY ALIENS LAMENT
God must love the people who stay
at home and work in vacation time;
he made so many of them The week
day headlines and the Sunday maya
zine supplements are fun with the
news OF the lake resort and the place
up on the mountain where women
ana children are frisking among the
clouds There are no headlines and
no Sunday supplement features for
the plodder at home, unless he-and
the use of the word "he" is consider
ed fltting-vfolates the ten command
ments and wins fame by collision with
the city ordinance. But the stay-at-
home can forego pity. Virtue is its
own reward. The plug" life has its
ompensations=an these, being
mentioned in the same breath with
virtue do not, of course, take in the
compensations that come when a man
has his say for a little while about
what goes on in his home. The idea
IS that happiness was never run down
IN the mountains, or hshed out of
the lake, nor yet corralled and COM
PEELED to surrender at the edge of the
sea Much less is happiness bought in
tWo-by-four hotel apartments or Pull
man berths that differ from the Turk
ism bath only in the way it is admins
tered. Happiness and red hair are
produced from within; time-ta bleS
and booklets bearing pictures of ca
noes won't yield them The country
IS run by the men@and some women
VINO stay at home in the summer time.
The hot weather reports are compiled
by man in wilted collar who sits by
his post of duty for the information of
the world. The lawns are trimmed by
men who forego the vacation habit.
The town disputes are kept alive by
people who stand on the burning deck
-beckon field and forest never so
winsomely. The newspaper philoso-
phies on the useIessness of vacations
are written by men who stay at work
through the stress of the summer.
Humanity in the summer time is di-
vided into two classes: Those who can
take vacations and those who can't
and what more splendid cheer can the
man on the job have. than in knowing
he had as well make the best of a
situation that no amount of lament
will cure? This comfort, and the fact
that he won't have to come back to
work again, strengthen and sustain
the man in the shirt sleeves, who bolts
his meals 1t the lunch counter, and
eats his longing and ambition in the
sweat of his brow.@Ottawa Herald.

Where did they ever get the idea
that man sprang from monkey? If
from the goat, there would be some

The Devils Auction at the Temple
theater last night gave the best satis-
faction of any production seen in Lew
iston for some time. 1t was on the
Temple theater stage as spectacular,
startling and wonderful, as II on the
large stages Of theaters in metropoli-
tan cities. No part was sighted or
neglected.
The Devils Auction has been on the
road so long that few who witnessed
it last night had not seen it before,
but they were agreeably surprised
last night to find that the production
was better than ever seen on the coast
before, and that It was produced in its
entirety on the Lewiston stage.
The production has gained It's rec
ord by its fine scenery. All Of the
wierd effects were produced last night
as good az they can be given.
