Booth and Macbeth.

There is 10 question that Macbeth"
is a great drama, great literature and,
above all, a great acting play. But the
exactions Of the central character are
such that the play is often kept from
the stage for years at a time or else
butcnered by a tenth rate actor trading
on the magic Of Shakespeare's name.
Edwin Booth, although not a big man
physically, was the greatest of Ameri-
can Macbeths. Yet Booth was always
dissatisfied in the role, for the reason,
he said, that he never felt right in it
because he lacked a really great Lady
Macbeth. When in 1887 he and Law
renee Barrett formed their famous al
lance Barrett asked Booth to select his
ideal of Lady Macbeth. Barrett's ex-
pectation was that Booth would name
the late Nine. Janauschek. Instead he
named Helena Modjeska. Barrett, a
greater business man than actor,
promptly arranged to separate from
Booth for a season, that of 1s99-eO, and
let Booth and Modjeska tour as CO.
stars, using Macbeth" as their prin-
cipal offering. They did SO with great
success, and Booth had realized his
dream of playing vis-a-vis with a great
actress as Lady Observation-Disclosures

IN Hiss CLARISSA," said Luella
MI after a long pause, Shouldn't
Nv you think it must be nice to
have a lot Of dead folks all
your own?"
Miss C1arissa dropped the black
stocking she was knitting. pushed her
spectacles up on her smooth, iron gray
hair and stared at her newly adopted
daughter. The girl sat in the little car
pet covered rocking chair, the lamp
light shining on her abundant red hair,
her freckled face, her small, nearsight-
ed eyes. Not even her own mother
could have called her a pretty child.
but Miss Clarissa viewed her with per-
feet satisfaction.
Only six months ago Miss Clarissa
had gone to the orphan asylum in the
city and astonished the matron by ask
ing for the homeliest girl they had for
adoption.
There's always plenty Of folks to
take the good looking ones," she said.
with a contemptuous sniff.
There vas something in the appear
ance of this determined looking wo-
man, with her gray skirt above her
heavy top boots, her plain coat and hat,
her complete freedom from ornamental
ton of any kind, that impressed the
matron.
"My name is Clarissa Slade of Roy
ton," continued the visitor, land l can
refer you to the selectmen of the
town."
"Our homeliest girl! Well, l think
We ought to call up 49," said the
matron to the amused first assistant
So 49," a shrinking, red haired child.
not beautiful surely, vas brought into
the visitors parlor.
"You can leave us alone" said Miss
Clarissa, and the matron obediently
withdrew.
"Now, my DEAR" said Miss Clarissa
to the frightened child, with a sudden
softening of manner, "get up in my
lap"
The child allowed herself to be taken
up.
There, now" said Miss Clarissa.
"Why. 1 guess you amt much used to
laps. Well, We'll change all that.
Now, what's your name"
'Forty-two," lisped the little girl.
"Pshaw. You must have some other
name than 49, What is it?"
"My names Chrissy Boylston. only
it's Christmas, not just Chrissy."
"Why do they call you Christmas?"
The child remained silent.
ooh, l guess 1 know!" said Miss Cla-
rissa. "They found you IN Christmas
day on Boylston street. Have you any
relations or friends?"
"No, ma'am."
NO relations or friends? Well, We'll
change all that too
Miss Clarissa slowly and gently drew
from the child all the story she had to
tell. There was pitiably little of it.
She had been only a few weeks old
when the policeman found her. Her
mother had abandoned her on Christ
mas day. They had brought her here.
She had always had good food, clothes
and teaching. No; she had never been

A great many people imagine they
have heart trouble when the fact is that
the whole trouble lies in the stomach.
The pains in the side around the region
of the heart are not necessarily heart
trouble. We suggest that you start
with the stomach and whenever you feel
a depression after eating or whenever
your food seems to nauseate take Kodol.
1t will not be very long until all these
"heart pains will disappear. Take
Kodol now and until you know you are
right again There isn't any doubt
about what it will do and you will find
the truth of this statement verified after
| you have used kodol for a few weeks.

TWO PROBLEMS
BEFORE. COUNCIL
Universal Transfer Matter and
Water Meter Question Seem
Difficult to Settle.

Aside from the consideration of two
important matters, the Council COM
mittee meetings at the City Hall this
week will deal mostly with routine,
nothing OF special interest being on
the dockets. Tonight the Water-Com-
mittee will endeavor to settle the
troublesome meter question. Asshere-
tofore stated, the contract for Key
stone meters. amounting to about
$4,000, was awarded, but before Coun-
ell could confirm it there was a pro.
test from the unsuccessful and lowest
bidders. the result being that the re-
port was recommitted.
An effort will be made to reject all
contracts, in view OF the statement
that the city can get along another
year without an extra meter supply.
II this is not done there will. be q
warm fight before the thing is settled.

will not have smooth sailing in tho
