Simple Simon's Part i'm a Christmas Dinner

@(F ANY of old Speckle's queerly assorted brood were stepchil- O dren or only adopted she never betrayed it by even so much as an upward roll of her eye. Truth to tell, old Speckle knew as well as any one that her inclination ito set" had come at a slack egg season but the maternal instincts thrilled her. and with a touching trust in human providence she submissively turned every egg in her nest each day, and sat week longer than any other hen would have thought compatible with her dignity.
 Most of Speckle's offspring came in twins. There were two fluffy white chickens, two pert black ones, two

sensation the gesling had then. He seemed born for padding. and as he padded he kept bobbing his head down into the white substance and fetching up the most appetizing things. Evidently the world had been made for nothing except gobbling and paddling.
 By and by he began to feel tired He determined to jump out on the steps again. but strange to say all his jumps turned to paddles. He couldn't seem to get over hard, brown object next to the steps. He decided to try no more but just to sit still so he dou- bled his short legs up under him and fioated. After a while he felt himself sinking. but he padded twice or thrice and got up again. Still 1t was pleas anter to drift, so he rested once more. Lower and lower he sank. Strange odors floated up around him. Drowsi- ness besieged him. Not much except his head was now above surface, but somehow, as he rested his bill on that cool substance the gosling didn't care. Just then Mary Ann came out with a pan of peelings and dashed them in.
 Peep peepj" murmured the gos- ling, bobbing up and down.
 'La!" calculated Mary Ann. and ran for the shovel.
 When she had shoveled him out on the grass she finished her exclamation
 'Lal aint that fool goose got no more sense that to go swimmin' in the slop bucket"
 "Peep!" replied the gosling, plaeidly turning over on the grass in the warm sun with deliciously filled feeling
 Lazily the summer months drifted by. One day and another that fool goose" as every one came to designate him, figured continually before the public eye So entirely devoid of sense did his escapades seem that the hired man named him Simple Si mon," for short.
 With the coming of the snappy De cember days people began to think of Christmas feasts, and the farmers to look over their poultry with an eye to the markets. One frosty day when Mrs. Martins kitchen breathed spicy odors her husband slouched in.
 i've just been looking over the poultry" he drawled. Turkeys are

wee striped bantams, two long legged peevish turkeys, and two perpetually hungry ducks. But when it came to the twin goslings there was only one of them. Of course, the different twins associated together and told each oth- CT their trials and joys, their fears and hopes; but the gosling was the yellow sheep of the family. He knew no troubles but, his own. he wanted little, and when he found a happy hunting ground of bugs he had it all to himself He had also a little habit of wabbling in while two chickens fought over bug. quietly gobbling up the insect and calmly turning his back without even so much as a reminder that there no longer existed cause for Quarrelling. Others might have sharp bills to dig and fight, but he had a broad one to grasp and retain. In his independent, happy -go-iucky making strange friends, and having feather-breadth escapes known only to himself and the Martin family.
 May Day dawned warm and sunny. Worms had fairly wriggled themselves into the goslings mouth that morning, and he felt more than content as he squatted iu the sun on the back kitch- en step. Suddenly, in turning his head to the left. ke spied tempting red object peeping up from great, round. whitish looking surface. The gosling made a dash, and splash! he went under the shining white surface. He had that red bit, however, and as he swallowed it he instinctvely struck out with his legs. What delightfus

more difficult the work of the men who take part in the organizat tien with the real purpose of making it accomplish it's legitimate results. It tends to make an organization which does not really represent the voters of the party, and to leave the voters of the party with out any genuine representative organ ization. It results in elections in which the voters of the country have no op- portunity to express by their ballots their real choice of candidates or their real opinions upon public questions. It weakens one of the great agencies for carrying on a popular government, and introduces an injurious imperfection into the method by which alone pub lie opinion can be made effective through governmental machinery.
 The whole system is pernicious and discreditable to American citizenship. It ought to be done away with and po- litical parties ought to be brought back to the sole performance of their proper function as organizations for the pro- motion of principles and policies, free from the control of mere office trading combinations.
 It is, however, mere folly to say that the existence of such an evil furnishes a reason why educated, self-respecting Americans should not take part in the work of the political parties with which they vote. On the contrary, the exist ence of the evil presents manifest and urgent duty to the conscience and patriotism of every competent Ameri- can.

THE OTHER GIRL. !" GOOD FARCE COMEDY Thomas w. Ross, Late of Checkers" Now as
 Prize Fighter.

Thomas w. Ross and his company in Augustus Thomas play of ''The Other Girl' gave the first of their two New Haven performances at the Hyperion last night. Considering Augustus Thomas successful plays like "Alaba- ma," Arizona" and Mrs Leffing- wells Boots." all serious attempts at bona fide comedy, "The Other Girl' is a surprise. Here is a play which for the most part cannot be considered any, thing but a very clever and entertaining farce. It seems to have been written expressly for showing Thomas w. Ross in the full strength of his impersonating ability. Analysis resolves the plot to thin air but leaves Thomas W. Ross as "Kid" Garvey, champion lightweight prize fighter, very substantial figure with real accomplishment. With his excellent acting and clever lines no one will deny that the play is success. It has the fault of a halting movement: for half the first act it is impossible to find any excuse. Thomas w. Ross, Kid" Garvey, finally arrives and the play really begins.
 In the first act of 'TThe Other Girl" Catherine Fulton, rich, of high social position. is found to be not wisely but too well in love with prize fighter, Thomas w. Ross, whom she knows only as Mir. Sheldon, a boxing master They agree to elope and elude the rich MT. Fulton, who has previously picked out nice young fellow" a MT. Lum- ley for his daughter. Catherine is pre- vented from clipping by her friend Es- telle, who is carrying on love affair with a young minister. When Catherine discovers the next day that her beloved is prize fighter and keeps a saloon she turns to her nice young man." Kid Garvey survives the shock of disap- pointed love, and turns up at. the end with his real fiancee, who heads the bill at Keith's and late of "The Pleas- ure Palace" The whole play is a mod el of consistency, and does no violence the ideas of justice To have had the "kid" reform and settle down happily forever after would have been impos- sible. To have him still prize fighter with his vaudeville queen for bride is very satisfactory.
 Thomas W, Ross as the prize fighter played with the nice discrimination that made him famous as Checkers" He was able to be the sporting man with just enough of the gentleman about the role to save it from any taint of muckerism which might have ruined athe whole play. It is only when one realizes what wretched part few mistakes of Judgment might have created that the excellent qualities of the role of "Kid" Garvey, as Mr. Ross played 1t, appear in their proper light.
 MT. Ross company is of good num- her and ability. They are at the Fly perion again tonight.
