Patient Women Best Wives.

Patience is the supreme quality Of
a good wife, says the New York
American.
When humanity shall have evolved
a perfect race Of me7 there will be
less need Of this virtue in women.
Now it is chief Of the indispensable
qualities. For the notwithstanding
wife must inevitably learn that she
has married an imperfect creature de-
eress below the god Of her girlisll
fancy. And for the facing of this
unweIcome fact she requires aibun-
dant patience.
Woman's most Blessed work in the
world is the LONG. long task Of foster,
inc the blossoms and ripenin" th>
fruit of character III the Young.
For this there is need Of a patience
half divine.

The Heir to the Hoorah.

Many of our theatre-goens will re-
member with pleasure Helene Lack
aye, who has appeared here in sever
al important productions and who
made such an indelible impression by
her clever portrayal of the dasl1ing
widow, Kate Brandon, il, the popular
Paul Armstrong comedy, "The Heir
to the Hoorah. . Miss Lackaye comes
honestly by her histrionic talent, for
she is the youngest sister of the
great character actor and reconter,
Wilton Lackaye, also of James Lack
aye, familiar through his Simon Peter
Martin in "York State Folks.' Miss
Laekaye is Washingtoaian, born in
the capital city and educated at the
Notre Dame Convent and Holy Cross
Academy. AT ten years of age anil
from that time until she made her pro-
fessional debut, Miss Laekaye reeit-
ed at local functions, and played lead
ing roles in amatuer theatricals il
Washington.
Her parents and brothers were Bit
tedy opposed to her adopting the
stage, but she was determined and
ran away from home, and without as
sistanee secured aer first professional
engagement, which was with "The
Ninety and Nine' during its run at
the Academy of Music, New York
City.
Since then, Miss Lackaye appeared
with Amelia Bingham in "The
Climbers,' "The Friskey Mrs. John
son." "a Modern Magdalen," the
title role in Paul Armstrong; "Tha
Superstition of Sue;" with Nat &C..
Goodwin in "a Midsummer Night s
Dream,' playing Hippolyta, with
Raymond Hitchcock in "The Gallo
per-" in ''The Virginian,'' during
its New York run, "Blue Grass"
and with Alice Fischer in "What' S
the Matter with Susan?'
Miss Lackaye is blessed with al
excellent stage presence, being tall,
graceful and Of statuesque proper
tions, and especially adapted to the
portrayal Of the big-hearted, lovable
young widow in "The Heir to tue
Hoorah' in which she will be seen
when the al,ve cleve' GOMEZ; is
presented l:eie.

The young men at the university
have been having much trouble OF
late with thief, or thieves, who
have entered the rooms Of the stu
dents and taken away cldthdng.
This is a repetition Of the stealing
taat went On at the university two
years ago, the guilty party finally
being caught. It is supposed that
tine thief enters the rooms while the
boys are at supper and takes the
suits Of clothes then. No less tAan
% suits have been thus lost in the
past two weeks. Several Of the
boys had all their clothes stolen.
Thursday a suspicious negro was

marshal started toward the negro he
fled. Later some of the students
went in search Of the negro. H
was not found and in the mean
time every night or two some one
else misses one or more suits from
his room.
A thief in broad daylight walked
upon the porch Of a residence facing
the college golf links and stole sew
eral rugs. He was seen going away
but the thief's self possession was
such that he alla;yed all suspicion

BRYAN WILL NOT REFUSE.
Not aVolunteer for Nomination, But
If He is Drafted he Will
Serve.

Atlanta. Ca, Jan. William
Jennings Bryan was asked in this
city today if he would accept the De-
mocratic nomination for president in
1908 if it was offered. His reply
was:
II am not volunteer for the
place; if I am drafted, however, !
will not DESERT -
Mr.. Bryan arrived here with Jud-
son Harmon Of Ohio late this after
moon. They came from Birmingham.
where both made speeches last night.
Mr.. Bryan missed his connection for
Washington in this city and remain
ed mere until about 9 o'clock as the
guest Of the Young Mems Democratic
league.
In an interview regarding the De-
mocratic possibilities for success in
the next presidential election he
said:
II think the Democratic party has
the best opportunity it mas had in
many years. I feel that we will win
at the next election. -
He was asked about the probable
candidate Of the Republicans, parti-
cularly with regard to Nj. Taft and
Mr.. Hughes, and replied:
IT do not care to hurt either Mr..
Taft's or Mr.. Hughes opinion by
expressing mine,'' saying this with a
laugh.
In reply to a question regarding a
dispatch from Washington in rela-
tion to an effort said to have been
made by William F. Sheehan Of New
York and Former Senator James
Smith Of New Jersey to have some
other candidate named for the head
of the Democratic ticket in the next
presidential campaign, Mr.. Bryan
said:
"I have heard nothing official in
regard to this move. When it comes
to me from the guardian Of the De-
mocratic party I will then give my
,answer.'
Mr. Bryan declined to comment on
Judge Alton B. Parker's recently
published charge tnat Mr.. Bryan had
not acted in good faith toward him
prior to his nomination for the pres
idency.
"I have not read the statement Of
Judge Parker" ne said, "and the
mere fact that it appears in news
paper would not warrant the assump-
tion that Judge Parker said it or was
correctly quoted. I would not, in
any event, however, care to discuss
the matter.''

Al NATIVE OF UTICA N. Y.
His Political Start Came in 1884 When
He Was Elected Mayor Of That
city--Known as Conservative
Party Man.

James s. Sherman Is regarded as ono
of the ablest in the present Congress.
He is rather modest, but Is CHEEKY
and has the valuable faculty Of MAX
ing and holding friendships. This was
evidenced by the fact that most Of Che
congressman who have known him for
two or three terms past were all N
Chicago urging him for the vice-pres
idcncy.
Down IN Utica, ~ Y, they think
great things of their member for he
was born Ia town and has lived there
sill his life So years. In That time he
has accomplished much He began 10
practice law In Utica In 1850, two years
after he was graduated from Hamilton
college, and ii regarded as one of the
cleyerest lawyers in that part OF the
country.
Sherinan's political start came IN
1854 when he was elected mayor. At
the end Of his term they sent him to
Congress. During that time be has
represented three different congression-
al districts but be hasn't bad 10 move
out of Utica To do III He IL chairman
'cf the Republican congressional cam
paiqn committee, and he has been spok
sn Of often fer the Uncle Joe Cannon
succession.
Besides politics and his law practice
Sherman alis iii his spare time with
finance and business. He ii president
pf the Utica Trust n Deposit company
and he owns the Hartford Canning
company Politically, be il accounted
couserva4fee party man Of the sort
reclcoued as 4safFss by the organization
His friends say he cannot make a
speech that sounds like anything more
than few pages torn from d volume
of busineas reportss tat the heart to-
heart sort III thing AK III considered
really eloquent.
When he left Congress In 1899, on
his appointment to the office of general
appraiser Of merchandise, Sherman's
fellow members expressed great regret.
They said 1t would be long time be-
fore his like would be seen on the floor
Of the House. AS d resourceful and
practical politician he was said to he
without peer and as paTliamentarian
he had few equals.
Speaker Reed had marked confidence
in Sherman. When any important par
liamentary question was to be decided
in committee of the whole. he was in
vaxiablY called to the chair. He was
then and still il a worker Of indefatig
able energy He never gives mp task
