This dash to her matri-
monial hopes, which in
volved the loss of her
financial hacker, did not
affect the spirits or ambi-
ton of the intrepid young
woman. Her star. though
momentarily clouded, was
still on the rise. Obtain
ing a theatrical engage
ment in London, she drew
the attention of the critics
to her remarkable render
ing of Hester Prynne in
a stage version of Haw-
thorne's" Scarlet Letter.
This led to an introduce
ton to a we'll known
English baronet, whose
interest in the fair aspi-
rants art career led him,
on her declaration that
the French stage was her
true vocation, to provide
her with two thousand
pounds to enable her to
continue her studies in
Paris.
Wanted to Succeed
in Paris
THE ambition to act for
1 a Paris public was
characteristic of Miss Cal
houn's soaring character.
She proceeded to the
French capital, where,
making her home with
an impoverished countess
living on Rue Logllbach,
for three years and a half
she labored under the in
struction of her distin-
guished teacher to ac-
quire a faultless command
of the French language,
an absolute requisite
in the case of an actress
aiming to appear at any
of the Paris Government
theaters. And Miss Cal

young actress at length
had the JOY of beholding
the portals of the Odeon
open to her.
The Debut at the Odeon
TT was in 1So4-when
i Miss Calhoun was
twenty-nine years old
that she made her debut
on the historic stage of
the Odeon as star in the
play called "L'Argent
d'Autrie" ("Other Peo-
pies Money }.
1t was in more than one
sense a critical moment.
Not alone was success a
question of her histrionic
ability. She had likewise
to face the hostility of the
company with which she
acted, some of whom were
naturally envious of the
Importance vouchsafed to
a foreigner. The critics,
too, were against her; and
before the curtain had
lifted on the first act con-
demnatory notices were
already taking shape in
the heads of some of
them.
Yet by sheer genius Miss
Calhoun overcame herprej-

is carried to an eminence that will make her OBJ
ject of envy to many of her countrywomen her
good fortune will doubtless 60 far to compensate
her for disappointed career actress. Eleanor
Calhoun is name almost erased from the
annals of theatrical life. She has represented
of the many instances of light that failed. For
moment this remarkable young woman took high
place thr ugh her histrionc genius only to fall back
into hopeless darkness.
Her Daring Ambition
IT was something more than decade ago that Miss
Calhoun then in her prime, left America with the
determination to make her way the French stage.
The ambition in itself unusual as it daring.
She possessed only the ordinary linguistic equipment
that American boarding school offers. Yet Miss
Calhoun by dint of application mastered the diff
cultes of French pronunciation, and appeared
where few of her countrywomen had before or have
sinee-behnd the footlights of one of the great
state theaters of Paris, in a leading role.
Fortune seemed to a special smile for Eleanor
Calhoun. Success of high order in her young
hands Paris had applauded her genius. She had
her choice of several flattering engagements. Why
then has the world heard nothing more of Miss
Calhoun the actress! The answer contains striking
lesson of talent quenched by its own fault. Eleanor
Calhoun blew out her light by the folles of tenn
perament,-the little less or little more of which is
half the of art,-and since then the actress
life has been futile effort recapture the prestige
that was once hers.
Such in brief is the story of the brilliant young
woman one day star of the Paris footlghts, who
now after ten years absence has returned to this
country to confer with Secretary of State Root on
the subject OF her investments in the troubous land
of Servia which she hopes day reign the
spouse of King Lazar Lazarovitch.

GET INTO POLITICS.

Very occasionally one hears the
pessimistic snarl that the country Is
being ruined by politics and politi-
clans. Those who complain that
their local, state or national govern
ment is not what it should be are
advised to get busy in making 1t
better. For we are the people, and
what the country is or what it may
be is to some extent in the hands
of every individual. who has no just
cause to be a carping critic until
he has exhausted all means in his
power to make things better and to
convince others that he has good
specific plan for the remedy.
In a recent address to young men
one Of the foremost of American
statesmen advised his hearers to
Get into politics" BY this he did
not mean that all the young men
before him should undertake to
make politics their life work or
hope to secure good offices. What
he did mean was that 1t was the
duty of every American boy to in
terest himself in the affairs of his
country. his state and his city. BY
getting into politics he meant that
every young American should study
our form of government until he
became thoroughly familiar with It..
Until he knows how the govern
ment is run. and by whom. Until
he knows the machinery of politics
and his and other individual
strength in the component parts OF
that machinery.
Under our form Of government
the people rule. II they do not do
so. the professional politicians may
rule, as they have the right to do,
but II the people neglect their du-
ties and things 70 wrong. they have
no one to blame but themselves. For
this reason. every citizen should in
terest himself In political affairs. He
should Join some political organiza-
tion. for It is only through political
parties that things are accomplish
ed In this country. He should study
the principles It stands for. and as
sist in formulating its policies.
This much he can do and this
much II Is his duty to do. for no
one has the right to accent the hem
ef,ts OF a free government without
doing his share toward the success
OF specific policies. This Is repre-
sentative government. but the men
who do the most Of the kicking are
those who are content to sit on the
fence and see the procession 60 by.

THE NATIONS RESOURCES.

The really good results of the re-
cent White House conference on the
conservation of our natural re-
sources will not appear until the adj
dresses delivered at that time are
all collected, printed and distribu-
ted. The publication of these adj
dresses will reveal a shocking con-
dition, reckless waste of the mag
nificent possessions of this cOun-
try The speeches heard in the
East room at that notable gathering
Of governors, economists and others
will. it is said. be given a liberal
circulation, 80 that all who are in
terested in our lumber, coal. iron.
water and other supplies may know
the real conditions that confront
the nation.
The conference, therefore, will
serve good end as warning to the
people. 1t will teach them that
they have no coal or lumber to
throw away; that the period OF
waste must end; that our forests
and mines and streams must be con-
served and used to the best possible
advantage.
Even the soil of the country Is
wasted. Not only do we permit a
thousand million tons of it to be
swept into the sea every year, but
the average production per acre in
hn Unit cd tot nc X.
whereas it ought to be at least $50.
Mr.. Mitchell and Mr. Carnegie
agree that our coal supply will be
exhausted in 200 years. James j.
Hill says. we have less than 1000
billion feet of merchantable timber
left, and our annual cut is about 40
million feet. Once in seven years
the draft upon our supply of iron
ore in the mine is doubled. The
present rate of consumption is
about so million tons year, and in
40 years we shall at that rate ap-
proach the end of all the high grade
ore in large deposits now in sight.
Free homes will soon be a thing
Of the past, for Uncle Sam has
given away or sold the greater por-
ton Of his lands. In brief, we are
approaching the time-have arrived
at the time, in fact-when every
thing the country has, immense as
It is, must be conserved and guard
ed For wears we stumbled along In
the belief that our resources coulo
not be exhausted. Now We know
the truth and the warning given by
experts and those in authority must
be needed before 1t is too late.
