in both countries firmly believe that

the fatigue of the boat race scene in

genuine stage criticism is, and my
answer invariably is: Genuine criti-
cism is that which points out the bad

such acting is bad, and why such AMI
such acting is genuinely good. 1t goes
further. and by telling how the bad
may be made good and the good bet

it was Beaconsfield who called a critic
one who had made failure in the art
he was TO criticise, and even Balzac
had the same definition for those who
made him suffer. But | am not one of
those who think it necessary for the
critic to be better than the man he
criticises. The two processes are en-
tirely dissimilar - Numerically oppo.

Watches for the Hats.-St. Patrick's

Watches for the Hats.-St. Patrick S
day is always a busy one for Ezra Ken
dali. If there is to be a parade, Ken
dali will be found standing on the curb
long before the march begins so that
he may not allow anything to escape
him. He's looking for hats. The tall
tile affair of odd shape and ancient
pattern has always been affected by
him. and he declares that a ST. Pat
rick's day parade will bring out more
of these oddities than he could find in
stores in years. When he sees hat
that strikes his fancy he tries 10 make
"a purchase. and in this way he declares
that he has walked in more ST. Patrick
day parades, for short distance, at
least than any other comedian on the
stage. The hat which Mr.. Kendall
wears in Swell Elegant Jones' the

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish i'll curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
YOU should have the best. Sold by drug

 How many million shares you got, Tom?' was asked.

When Banks dropped into . New York brokers ofice to talk about Texas oil stocks he didn't mean to believe a word the broker said. They talked for an hour. and still he didn't believe.
 Then Banks silently folded his tent and hied him for Texas. He wanted to see the oil wells. He wanted to feel of the oil He wanted to know that 1t wasn't water or cough syrup. He wanted to be sure that 1t would leave grease spot if dropped upon~ his coat tails.
 An oil-well man dropped in to see Banks.
 He took him out and showed him i've acre claim.
 He showed him an oil well.
 He showed him derrick and pump.
 The pump was pumping oil.
 The oil was being barreled and shipped.
 They couldn't fool MT. Banks. He was right there on the spot. He was seeing with his own eyes. He wasn't asleep and dreaming. He was offered ten thou sand of the preferred stock at 15 cents on the dollar to help develop more wells. Non-assessable and bound to go to 15o in three months.

was up in Northern Wisconsin looking after lumber interest and had to solicit lodging with a settler. He hadn't much room to spare and not much to eat. and when through with supper we lighted our pipes and had a smoke and tnlk. He had only one child and he was boy of 15. He sat in the chimney corner for an hour and never said a word, and finally the father remarked:
 Well, Jim, it's time you had your les son and went to bed. Come up here"
 The boy advanced and stood before him and the father opened on him as if terribly indignant. He called him ioafer, liar, robber, swindler and 40 other things. He threatened to knock his teeth out--to bat his eyes, to knock his eyebrows off, and finally to break every bone in his body. To my surprise the boy stood and took 1t as if he had heard the same things every day for a month, and when the father had ended he began. He went over the same ground repeating almost every word and shaking his fist and throwing his arms about, and finally finished and said goodnight and went to bed.

 But why? It's plain case.''
