The RuIinq Passion

1t is an evident fact that the body
when it has long been a slave to evil
passions finds it next to impossible to
break its chains. The mind may pas
sionately desire righteous living, but
the abused nervous system, fallen into
iron habits, refuses the souls behest.
Canon Gore wrote that he was once
present at the deathbed of pick
pocket, man who professed himself
to be sincerely penitent and who be-
lieved in the forgiveness of sins.
He had said goodby to this world,
and the clergyman sat by his side
waiting for his last moment to come.
Suddenly the sinking man exclaimed
in hoarse and painful whisper:
"Look out for your watch"
They were his last words. He had
died in their utterance, and the clergy
mans watch was found in his llfeless
hand. He had not been able to resist
the nearness of an article that could
be stolen. His enfeebled will could not
prevent the muscles from falling into
their old habits, but his mind-his soul,
shall we say?-protested to the last
London Standard.

PLIGHT OF THE ACTOR.
Behind the Scenes He Is, In Manner,
Prisoner.

Behind the Scenes He Is, In a Manner
Prisoner.
In a way, behind the scenes is pris-
on. 1t is surely one of the very few
places where intelligent men and wo-
men are locked in their place Of work
and where no message from the out
side world is allowed to reach them.
Of unusually emotional temperament,
and if therefore a telegram is received
at the stage door it is never delivered
until after the performance. The mes
sage might be an invitation to supper,
Or it might announce that the actors
favorite brother has been hanged, or it
might be an offer in stock company
to play twelve times week, or 1t
might tell the actor that he was the
father Of twins or that his wife would
die without seeing him again unless
he came at once to her bedside, but all
of this information is supposed not to
be good for the actors emotional dis
position, and the telegram is therefore
given the same distinction as the
'smash" note and kept until after the
performance is finished. 1t cannot be
said that the actors emotional dispo-
sition is very seriously considered be-
You'd the cast iron rule in regard to
kilograms His comfort and inteln-
gence have been slightly fattered in
a few theaters of very recent date, but
for the most part the condition Of
behind the scenes in most playhouses
is not calculated to breed particularly
high thoughts Of any kind. AS matter
of fact, he is treated little better than
when he was only a "strolling'' player
"a gypsy-several centuries ago.

THE SHORT NOSES.
Something to Be Said In Favor Of
Those Who Wear Them.

Those Who Wear Them.
"Physiognomists tell us that the big
nosed people do the worlds work."
said short nosed man the other day,
"and they generally add lot of rub
bish about Napoleon's big nose and
how he always selected big nosed men
to carry out daring undertakings.
'TThat Napoleon story was invented
by some one with a nose like Cyrano
de Bergerac, who wanted an excuse
for his proboscis and therefore pre-
tended that his nose was but the In
PRODUCTION to a massive, imposing
character. 1t is true that big nose is
sometimes indicative of firmness and
determination, but only when 1t is as
chin. A big nose with a retiring chin
Is almost idiotic in the expression 1t
gives to the countenarce. Every car
toonist knows this. Whenever you see
cartoon of society dude it shows
long nose and small chin.
"But there is something to be said
in favor of the short noses. The short
nose shows wit, imagination, tact,
judgment, discretion. Socrates had
snub nose, and of the lively magma
tive writer's in almost any language
a considerable proportion was short
nosed people. Long nosed men may
do their share of the worlds work,
but the short noses write the clever
books and the entertaining plays. II
Shakespeare had had nose like the
Duke Of Wellington, do you ever sup
pose that he would have written the
merry Wives of Windsor?' He
might have been a successful theater
manager, but would never have be-
come a literary artist. -St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

I, TALES AND ENDS.
BY ALLEN PAYNE.
WRITTEN FOR THE MIDLAND JOURNAL.
THE BLACK SHEEP.

THE BLACK SHEEP.
Bah, bah, black sheep,
Haven't you any sense?
Your mothers losing sleep,
Her sufferings are intense.
Her heart you're slowly breaking,
Her feelings you have crushed;
The tears are gently flowing,
Her cheeks are moist and flushed.
You've gone against her wishes.
She gave you good advice;
Your tongue gayly lashes,
You send her to--the ice.
Her life is upon your shoulders,
Her sufferings you gladly shape;
You give thorn stead of flowers,
Her very heart you scrape.
But the time is bound to come,
When you will yainly try
To fight against the evil one,
Your mortal frame shall surely die.
Ills then we SET your finish,
Your blows will backward fly;
Your skin tanned as a reddish,
So black sheep, bye, bye-bye, bye.
