when il comes to the most beautiful
handling of language.
That is one reason why Miss Maude
Adams went to Dublin. but only one.
The other reason happened just three
days after she got settled. 1t took the
form of a note to Mr.. Barrie, who was
in London. asking him to come over to
Dublin, and to which Mr.. Barrie re-
piled that he only regretted the dis
lance was not twice as far so as to
prove his willingness.
And so they met in the little cottage
among the peasants just outside his
toric Dublin. Fancy the delight in that
meeting, the first in five years, between
the author and the creator of Lady
Babbie, Phoebe Throssel and Peter
Pan; between the man with the golden
pen and the actress who has breathed
life into the best thct that pen has
produced.
But il was not all fun and mutual
admiration, that meeting. Miss Maude
Adams would not be a party to it If
some sort of work or progress did not
enter.
For several days Mr. Barrie lived in
Dublin. He heard all about the plans
and ambitions of Miss Adams She
wants a play built upon the career of
Joan of Arc
Two qualifications make ]. NJ Barrie
the one man of all men to do this work
for Miss. Adams. MIR. Barrie is a great
writer, but. better STILL Mr.. Barrie is
the object of Miss Maude Adams ut
most confidence. The perfect harmony
of ideas and of feeling that exists he
tween the two almost crowns the ef-
fort with success at the startoff
The extraordinary thing about Mr.
ri darfa Iii &c hot a
ans and he are going to all this pains
for but single performance of Joan
Of Are and that in the magnificent
million-dollar stadium of Harvard uni
versity next June.
On or about June 20 Miss Adams will
appear at Harvard university, by spe-
cial invitation of the German depart
nent of the university. and which
Charles F'rohman has accepted in her
name. Miss Adams will play the "Joan
of Arc" role that has always touched
her fancy and had for her mystical
charm. She is something of a mystic
herself so it is small wonder that the
mythical minded Joan should appeal so
strongly to her.
Mr.. Barrie's groundwork will be the
story of Joan of Arc as 1t is told in
German, and the German department
of Harvard has asked Mr.. Frohman
that the play be done in English be-
fore the students. since the whole affair
IS an effort to stimulate interest in the
German dramatic literature, and this is
where Mr.. Barrie comes in.
The event at Harvard is, / am told,
TO be a magnificent spectacle and the
first elaborate pageant ever done at an
American university.
Who could better design and execute
such a spectacle than the author If the
immortal and spectacular Peter PAM
And so 1t is all settled. 1t will be the

An Earthly Paradise.

Morocco we learn from a consular
report, has q choice climate. fine
scenery great wealth of earth and
sea and sky, vast supplies Of precious
metals, and the soil has never been
more than scratched by the crude
wooden plow OF the people-a soil
that will give three crops a year.
There are warm wind and sunshine
for 300 OF the 365 days in the year,
300. 900 square miles OF fertile farm
land, or grazing land. broken by
majestic mountains, or swept by foot
hills, crossed by rivers. and bound
ed by the sea on two sides. There
are vast forests and valuable shrubs
and the sea is generously supplied
with millions OF fish. Despite the
many centuries OF life Morocco has
not been developed-it is almost
virgin territory.

Taken Unawares.

1tis likely that the most en- bar rass-
ed man in New York could be found
last Monday in Sixth avenue store.
He was a mild, inoffensive looking
man. He stood leaning over the bal
cony that surrounds the first floor OF
the store, looking with interest at
the crowd below. Presently his eve
alighted on small boy who was be-
ing rushed from counter 70 county
in tow Of a very large woman. Just
as he looked down at the boy the boy
looked up at him. Instinctively per-
ceiving, with diabolic instinct, what
would be his own youthful propen-
sity il he occupied a similar point OF
vantage, the boy struck beseeching
attitude and called out in imploring
accents:
"Oh, mister; please. mister, don =
spit on mel"
For a man with no intention OF spit
ting on that particular boy or any
one else the situation was certainly
awkward. and the man retired in
red faced confusion.-New York

Largest Poultry Farm.

Probably one OF the largest, il not
the largest, poultry farm in the
world Is located seven miles from
Providence, r l. Il is one of the
largest farm Of Barred Plymouth
Rocks in America.
The houses are all built of the
best material, with double walls,
aiieyway in the rear. The pens
are lOxl5. with yards 12x27O feet.
Every yard is fenced in with woven
wire fencing five feet high. There
are .. 200 feet Of poultry houses (uear-
ly q mile) all built alike on solid
walls. There are twelve miles of
poultry fencing and SO gates wide
enough for team and wagon 10 pass
through for cleaning.
There are about 23O colony houses
that will accommodate fifty chicks
each. The young stock is not con-
fined in yards. bu, is allowed TO run at
will on the farm.
In the center OF the farm is a
watch tower. with a search light,
and a. night one man is kept at this
station with the light constantly
turned on every part Of the farm
to prevent the light fingered gentry
from lifting some OF the valuable
Rocks from the roost. The tower
is connected with the sleeping rooms
OF the men on the farm by telephones
and electric bells SO as TO give
the alarm.
The entire plant Is run on the
same style OF any big manufactur-
ing concern. Each man has his
particular work to do, and is com.
PEELED TO do it.
The market egg side OF this farm
amounts to a large sum, and also
there are TO be found on this farm
some OF the finest specimens OF Bar
red Rocks in the country. There
are some eight thousand birds on
this farm, and every house is kept
in first class shape. clean, well ven
tilated, with plenty OF feed and bed
ding. Some thirty pure bred dairy
COWS are kept TO supply fresh milk
and almost their total product is
consumed by the chicks. Here is q
farm where the dairy cows are on ly
an adjunct, the pure bred poultry
taking drst place for profit.

He Worked For Il.

Some years ago there lived in
Arkansas man named Reynolds,
who owned q narrow gauge railroad
from Malvern Junction to Hot
Springs. 1t was partly due to the
fact that he had put by a neat little
fortune and partly to his habit of
wearing an enormous diamond shirt
stud that he had won the nickname
OF Diamond Joe."
II was Diamond Joe's boast that
no one had ever stolen a ride on his
little twenty-five mile road, and not
content with telling this to his
friends he offered a reward OF 800
and q suit OF clothes TO the man who
could do il.
One clear moonlight night q man
came into his Office. dripping from
head to foot.

Yes" replied the owner of the
narrow gauge. involuntarily gIanc-
ing out to see il it was raining.

An Italian correspondent OF the
London Times predicts that the use
OF concrete in boat building will
largely take the place OF iron and
steel. He says: Large boats OF re-
enforced concrete have been built
already in this country, and five OF
these OF 100 tons or more, were on
commission for the Italian navy.
The first Of these boats, a 12O- ton
barge, was built 10 1906. on the plans
OF Mr.. Gabellini, an Italian, who has
given his whole attention TO re-en-
forced concrete, and who for many
years has been conducting expert
ments with this class OF material.
This boat. which was built with
double bottom end of the cellular
type, was submitted TO severe tests
In the Spezia arsenal, where q much
larger boat built Of iron and an iron
ram was directed against it without
producing any considerable damage
70 it. After some time. and In con-
sequence Of the satisfactory results
given by this first boat. four more of
these barges were ordered on account
OF the Italian navy.

Alaskan Totems Really crests.

The Alaskan natives will tell you
OF great flood that occurred ages
ago, that destroyed great numbers
OF their people. Some escaped by
their canoes, and became widely
separated. drifting in many differ
ent directions, and finding settle
ments after the water subsidized on
land far distant from each other.
But they kept their original symbols,
and followed, TO q great extent their
old customs.
The totem poles contain thes SYM
bols or crests, and il has been the
custom to erect them in front OF the
house OF q leader, member or chief
OF clan. Upon the death OF the
head of q family. q pole is erected in
front of the house OF his successor.
on which is carved, or painted, the
symbolical animals of the dead man 8
clan.
In their marriage customs these
totem emblems have a significance.
While members Of the same tribe
may marry families having the same
badge are not permitted TO inter
marry. The Thlingits have for their
totem symbols the raven, wolf, whale,
etc, but member of q family hay
ing the raven badge cannot marry
one OF another family having the
same badge, but can marry q wolf,
whale or an eagle. So on the poles
erected before the houses are seen
combinations Of the symbols intima-
ting the nature of the marriage as
sociations. Poles are met with that
rise to q height OF fifty pr sixty feet,
and carved with carvings of the an
cestral symbols. A notable one
stands in the principal square OF
Seattle, that is sixty feet high aud
five feet broad at the base-the
family tree, so TO speak, OF cele-
brated chief who lived in the neigh
borhood.
While it is generally true that the
Indian women are subordinate to
the men in the matters OF success
sion. they appear TO possess rights
the men are bound to respect. For
instance, the Indian children take
the crest of their mother, and
mans heir is not his own son, but
his sister's son, and the clan rela-
tionships thus promoted have q
great deal to do with the social ties
that prevail among the Indians in
general. A strange Indian enter
ing village is rarely at loss TO find
a hispitable greeting. He finds a
totem pole on which is one OF the
crests OF his family. and he can en-
ter the house before which il stands,
and is welcome.

A Woman Of Quick Wit.

Few lives so lend themselves to
dramatic narration as Susan B. An
thongs says the Delineator. Il ran.
ged from tragedy to comedy. with
scattered bits OF melodrama, she
ever in the center Of the stage
With her everything was al ways in
tensely realistic-not acting.
Miss Anthony had a peculiar facul.
ty of condensing whole speech into
q single sentence. For instance,
when she heard men lamenting that
the profession OF teacher was not
respected as much as the other pro-
iessions, do you not see that so
long as society says women has not
brains enough 10 be a doctor, law
yer or minister, but has plenty TO be
teacher, every man OF you who
condescends to teach tacitly admits
before all Israel and the sun that be
has no more brains than o woman P"
And when Horace Greedy said to her
at Albany. "You know the ballot
and bullet 60 together-if you vote,
are you ready to 6ght?" instantly
she retorted. YES, Mr.. Greeley,
just as you fought in the late war
at the point Of a goose quill ~
Again, when she was talking on di-
vorUe and the Rev. A. d. Mayo,
thinking TO annihilate her, said, /"
You are not married; you have no
business TO be discussing marriage. a"
Well, Mr.. Mayo" she answered,
you are not slave; suppose you
quit lecturing on slavery"

The Search for Honest Men

The search for honest men is more assiduous in these days than 1t was in the life of Diogenes, and one of the things that young men should keep in mind is that old men who have accumulated money and have it to invest are scrutinizing them, watching them all the time, and hoping to discover those that can be trusted. We are not saying that honest men are rare, but they are at least not so common that sagacious business men will trust solely to appearances. Many a young fellow cleverly evades pay ing his railroad or street car fare, thinking it proper and commend able to get the better of a corpora tion, to lose an opportunity that would mean promotion and suc- cess. Even the rich man who is none too scrupulous himself with other peoples money will not knowingly have a man in his em- ploy whose notions about property seem in the least degree loose.
 To inspire confidence men must
