musical novelty are an exceptionally
strong team. At Morgantown where
they recently played they made the
hit of the season. Their work on
stringed instruments is wonderful.
Dainty Elizabeth Miller, the girl who
sings the old time songs, has a turn.
which appeals to lovers OF the best
In vocal music. Miss Miller sings
only those old time songs which have
made n place for themselves in the
lives and hearts Of humanity. "the
songs that mother used TO sing" For.
Der, the Marvel, in his slack wire
walking and juggling. Is said to well
deserve his title of the Marvel"
The Morgantown Chronicle says that
his work Is the best seer there for
many years. New moving pictures
and a new song will also be presented
at the Theatorlum tonight.

A Hint Illustrated.

From the September Bohemian.
 Mss Isabel Irving, the delightful com edienne. was annoyed last season by a member of her company who persisted In occupying the center of the stage at every conceivable opportunity; this as everyone knows is the inalienable right of the star. The man who in other res poets was a most excellent gentleman, had received hints which would have been sufficient, but he seemed unable to grasp them. Miss Irving finally hit upon "a plan, and proceeded to put it into execution.
 That evening she went to the actor and said: "Nr - I wish you would come ito the theatre tomorrow morning at eleven l have bit of business which I would like to go over with you"

New York, September H.-Including sev- eral now being built, twelve villages have been established within the vicinity of New York during the past few years to serve as homes for children. The New York Juvenile Asylum was the first of the reformatory institutions in this city to move out into the open country where its young charges could live in pretty cottage homes surrounded by gardens, farm lands and playgrounds. The success of this change from the old time bar racks life was so marked that eleven other reformatories have followed the example set by the Juvenile Asylum. l. all these village colonies, childen from the slums and the tenements are taught farming and various trades in addition to receiving common school education and learning how to play-the street boy is pathetically lacking in all knowledge of healthy pastimes. The young villagers in their rural surroundings are brought into contact with Mother Nature who browns their cheeks, builds up impov- erished bodies, and straightens out men tai and moral kinks.
 The new order of things is vast im provements on old time methods of help ing the street boy. And, apart from the change in his surroundings, the asylum boy of today also benefits from better understanding of his case by those who have him in charge. Time was when 1t was thought that any ruffian was fit to be the keeper of juvenile offenders, but happily better counsel now prevails and it is recognized that special knowl- edge and training are required in deal- ing with the boys if the work of reform is to succeed Such knowledge and eX- perience are needed to gain the confidence of the typical street boy at the start. If any one doubts this, it would be made clear to him should he attempt to learn anything at first hand about one of the army of New York gamins who have been called the princes of the streets"
 The novice Is immediately "up against it." as the boy himself puts it, since only the merest baby of the slum, too young to talk intelligently, Is unable to size up' the stranger. Older children are so wise" that they instantly discern lack of experience on the part of the question: CT with disastrous results to him. Sup pose that with a desire to show kindness and sympathy, you should ask How old are you little boy?' or Do you go to school?" of some precocious infant of seven engaged in the paper vending busi- ness The imp, covered with a degree of accumulated dirt which caused Owen Mister to exclaim of a London street boy on similar occasion. How is it possible in the short span of seven years?' very likely would answer your inquiry with "Aw, go on you Joisey, watcher tlnk 1 am?"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-09-22

But the novice should not feel the re- buff too keenly because even in the pres ence of the one he calls the wise guy, the man who knows all about the street boy and the way to his heart, the gamln Is not abashed, though to be sure his impertinence is then a mark of faVor rather than derision. A little story Tn point Is that told by MT. Charles D. Hilles, superintendent of the New York Juvenile Asylum, who devotes all ms time and energy to saving street boys from shpwreck upon the rocks Of crime everywhere present in the slum life of the greater cities. Each boy sent to the Children's Village of the Asylum is taken before Mir Hlles to be questioned as means of learning his individual traits ans as a method of establishing amicable relations. This particular boy had come into collision with the law upon numerous occasions but the cleverness of his Kind had long eluded attempts to bring him before the Children's Court When asked by MT Hilles with what offence he was charged he replied:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-09-22

q was playin' game of checkers wid de cop, and 1t was my turn to move and I didn't move and so he jumped me, see!" His address he said was 2S Lemon street.
 If not according to the ethics of good behavior and manners, these answers were at least friendly and only uncon- sciously impudent from the specialists point of view In fact the boy specialist who sets himself the task of dealing with delinuuent children of the citys manu- facture must realize first of all that the gamin is in all ways abnormal having liven an abnormal life, and that he is to be judged and weighed by no common standards.
 Even with the most modern sort of plant for making good citizens, such as that of the Juvenile Asylum--with it's widely spaced cottages built to accom- modate no more than twenty boys each, it's hospitals farm, school, trade-teachng shops, merit system of marking which incites to personal endeavor because it provides personal rewards, it's huge play ground and it's many acres of woodland the whole, to be effective. must be vi- talized by the personal touch,' by the knowledge of the boy specialist. Accord ing to MT. Hiles-and experience will doubtless convince each of us of the correctness of his statement-no two boys are by any chance exactly alike in mind or body Opportunity is given the boy specialist by the cottage type of reform atory to study each boy, so that each may be treated as an individual.
 "We regard each of our charges as separate problem" says MT. Hilles, and from the very first use every endeavor to merit not the boys fear which might easily be achieved through strictly en- forced arbitrary rules and accompanying punisnments meted out by keepers, but his love and confidence
 Something is almost invariably accomp- lished during the first interview between the delinquent and the boy specialist though often not without difficulty. boy recently admitted to the Childre1s Village had not only been deprived or the guidance of both mother and father in his fight with the world, but had also suffered the loss of one leg in a ride stealing episode upon freight train. He had lived by begging, mad was so success ful because of his affliction, that lie earned much more than enough for his needs The surplus which he had ac- cumuated had drawn him into evil sur soundings His home had been Tn house of unsavory reputation and his com panlons criminals of both sexes. Upon his arrival at the Children's Village he was called into the superintendent's of- fee Tn no very amiable frame Of mind. ,ro a long list of persuasive questions lie answered only with surly monosyllablcs until MT. Hilles had almost despaired or making a friend of him.
