After years of domination by his shrewish wife, Leander enters into a Irritation with former actress. He is discovered by his wife and has to resort to sleep walking in order to escape her wrath.

RAYMOND HITCHCOCK.

Raymond Hitchcock in the latest reyel, a"The Merry-Go-Round." will be one of the biggest musical attrac- tions of the season at Polls this evening. The performances has been the most talked of entertainment in New York during the past summer months and has been famous through its Bohemian nights which have been the merriest sessions of fun ever held in the metropolis. "The Merry-Go- Round" is gaiety which has created Ia standard for itself, not alone in its cleverness of construction, witty repartee, smart lines and delightful music, but as beauty show for 1t Is Ia perfect cluster of charming bits of femininity that for shapeliness, CO., quetry and grace are unequalled. They form kaleidoscopic back ground for the unctuous humor of Hitchcock who Is said to be at his best in the part of stage-struck rube. In the support are number of clever farcical comedians whose specialties are already famous. The orchestra will be largely increased for this engagement. Prices 25c to $1.50. s

SUCCESSFUL START

The Brooklyn Athletic club was more than repaid for all its efforts in preparing for its fair last evening. The hall was crowded to the doors and all went home satisfied with an evening of enjoyment. Miss Ger trude Reed sang and was heartily received. Eddie Keefe was handi- capped with a severe cold so was unable to appear. All are assured however that he will sing tonight. His place was taken by Carl Snow man, late of the New Haven Stock Go, who sang very we'll. Something new is slated for this evening.

JACQUES ]
THE MAN ON THEsBox.

One of the cleverest American comedies of the day is "The Man on the Box" by Grace Livingston Fur miss, which Is the production at the Jacques this week by the Poli stock company. The company has seldom been seen to better advantage. The plot has to do with the complications which arise from a daredevil esca- pade of young army lieutenant who poses as a footman for the girl he loves, later becomes her servant and
 finally her servant for life. David M. Hartford plays the fellow and carries off lots of the honors. Miss Frances Nordstrom plays the girl in the story and makes a decided hit in the role which is we'll adapted to her talents. One thousand seats for ladies every afternoon for ten cents.

KNEW HIMSELF TO BE 4 POET.
Whittier Came Early to Recognition
Of His Genius.


John Greenleaf Whittier used to de-
clare that at very early age he knew
himself to be real poet, and would
often relate. writes Mrs. Abbey J.
Woodman in her "Reminiscences OF
Whittier's Life at Oak Knoll" an
amusing experience when he was .
student at the Haverhill academy.
Mrs. Woodman gives 1t In Mr.. Whit
tiers own words:
There IL but little doubt that at
the age Of 20 felt myself to be .
real poet, somewhat unknown to fame.
but sufficiently acknowledged as such
by the committee directing the dedi-
cation of the new academy for them
to invite me to read an original poem
on that occasion.
Robert Dinsmore, an old Scotch
farmer In Windham. and writer OF
rhyme and doggerel verse. was also
invited to do the same. The honor Of
leading the procession which marched
through the streets Of HaverhiIl to
the new academy was given to the
two poets.

Jack Robinson" has long been a
favorite synonym for rapidity Of
speech or action. but possibly few peo-
pie who use the phrase are aware that
Jack Robinson" was real, live per-
son.
AS a politician John Robinson was a
great favorite with George III. His
political career was long one. for he
was member for Harwich during 26
years, being on one occasion bitterly
attacked by Sheridan. who. denounc.
ing bribery and its instigators. replied
to the cries of Name. name" by
pointing to Robinson on the treasury
bench. exclaiming at the same time:

originated the saying still current al
the present day.

which has this distinction is the parish
church at Wolferton. Norfolk. the

An English paper gives an old story
q new setting by saying that on one
occasion when Justice Warrington
was listening to a case In which an
Irishman was called as witness, his
ignorance was painfully evident a.
soon az he stepped into the box. A
young lawyer in his cross-examina-
ton, tried his best to obtain some in
formation from the witness which
might prove helpful. but all to no pur-

The Widow Pension Law.

In writing to the editors of
the Washington Gazette, con-
gresham Clancy gives the fol-
lowing explanation of the new
pension law.
Now that the widows pension
bill has become a law, wi. h you
would make it known to your
readers that the rate of pension
to all widows, minors, and help
less children, now on the pension
rolls at a less rate, will be in
creased to twelve dollars a month.
under the act of April -, 1908.
from the date of the act No
application is required to obtain
the increased rate, but it will
be paid by the United States
pension agent at the next
quarterly payment, upon receipt
of the voucher properly executed,
which is now in the possession
of the pensioner. The present
pension of certificate should be
retained until its return shall
have been requested by the pen
sion agent from whom the pension
is received.
In all cases where widows have
been denied a pension of eight
dollars a month. on account of
the property qualifications, the
widows thus rejected must make
application to the pension bureau
for their pensions. In this latter
case, an application executed be-
fore a notary public is required,
upon which the pension bureau
many take action. 1t is the only
instance under this late law
where a new application must be
made.
Very truly yours,
JOHN G. CLANCY.

Smile Keep Affection.

No matter what the novelists
say against her, the smiling wife
is an improvement on her stern
proved sister, and the smiling
mother is the one who gathers
her babies most tenderly in her
arms. Children read more in
looks than in speech.
"She talked kind, but she
looked cross. ".said little boy of
a new teacher as a reason for
his refusal to go to school. And
big people are affected much more
than they relize by the express
sions of the faces that meet in
street. She was so pleasant"
is the inscription on a moss mot
tied stone in a country church
yard. she was so pleasant" is
not a bad epitaph for any one
when the book of life is finished.
The smile is as much the sign
Of good humor as an open fire is
a sign of warmth and cheer.
