of good and bad acting. Too much stress
not be laid the necessity of reading. One
should study diction, gracefuness of speech
shown in the great authors. Familiarity with the
classics is also an important part of her educa
ton. Elocution is good for purposes of articu-
lation, the of the voice, and the like; but
apart from these essentials one may derive more
benefit from good books than from the profess
sonal eocutionst. The great danger in taking
lessons from such is that the pupil becomes
stilted that she acquires declamatory style,
which, if she does not wholly discard, will impede
her progress the stage.

Silence More Effective Than Words

A PROPOS of this, the girl must learn to simulate
self repression, much more effective form of
expression than speech. She must learn that the
deep emotions better shown by silence than by
a burst of words For instance, observe the differ
ence between the woman who, under bereavement
rarely refers to it, and another who is constantly
talking of the dear departed his many good quail
ties, and bemoaning the fact that she has been de-
prived of them The act of the latter is due to self
love; and, knowing this, is annoyed, bored by
it. while we attribute the silence of the other to the
tragedy that still going within, repressed. OBJ

other for the qualification of vanity. :
The woman prompted wholly by vanity is
not to be thought of seriously factor in
the profession but she who is earnestly ambitious,
provided she is reasonably equipped for the work,
is entitled to all consideration.
The futility of warning the stagestruck young
woman against attempting the drama is we'll known;
therefore | will not do l will simply suggest
few points for consideration Let her reflect that
the of the the of all
careers adopted by women,-the most taxing on her
brain and the most exhausting to her nerves and
body. Let her reflect that the reward at the be-
ginning is small, and that the glamour of the foot
lights may not compensate for the humiliation which
lack of proficiency may incur.
All this has been said many, many times. do
not urge these disheartening facts from the lofty
point of the oracle. Obviously it is my business
to discourage asprants to the stage. But goodness
only knows how many misunderstanding, pro-
fessional nursing, stenography, and the Gke-have
been robbed of actual stars by the drama, which
reward has relegated them to obscure corners in
the chorus Still the prizes offered by the stage
vastly greater than those of any other calling affected

Therefore do not urge the girl I" with ambitions
not to go the STAGE but to study herself seriously
and we'll before she makes the attempt Let her de-
tach herself, as it were, and study her own person

does this honestly, promise her that she will

she will put herself in plastic, pliable condl

taking a sudden jump from obscurity to fame
Please to remember that the fame acquired
night almost never lasts unless it is deep rooted in
experience. Also remember that sudden fame is the

Preliminary Requirements

TO begin, the woman who would take up the stage
profession should have youth temperament,
feeling, impulse, since these denote individuality.
Even caprice is better than passivity Beauty is
important, but not essential The most talented
women of the stage-Rachel, Bernhardt Duse,
Clara Morris, and others-were not beautiful but
their genius made the audience forget the fact. A
passion for the stage, while prime essential is not
of itself adequate to
A woman should be sound physically and
tally. Let it be understood that am not referring
to genius,-since genius transcends all Obstacles
but to the woman who would look for reasonable
the stage l shall not refer to the over
hackneyed phase of morality, since morality is
morality, on the stage, in the department store,
in the church. The aspirant should be stagestruck
first last and all the time. Long before she applies
to manager she should indulge her passion for the
mimic to the full. The soul of the theater must
surge and throb in her blood Also she must study
to interpret human agonies and joys. While waiting
for opportunity she best spend her time read
ing, mlnutely observing everything that transpires
about her. She should study nature and the nat
uralness of things; particularly animals, since these
void of self consciousness the great obstacle to
dramatic art.
She should read stage literature and study
the great artists of the theater. Curiously,
much may be learned from the bad actor or Z
inferior performance, since the defects in
such acting play glaring, ludicrous.
Also, having visited the better class of per-
fOrmanCeS, she compare the methods

ON COUNTRY LIFE
Commission Created By Reose.
 welt Is Being Looked Up.

Washington, Oct. S-President these days with letters concerning the commission on country life. which he recently created, and the number of communications on the subject is growing greater daily. A rather strange feature of this cor respondence, considering the far reaching significance of the com mission, Is that SO far 1t has con- tained no word of adverse comment from any quarter. The suggestions are all constructive, and many of them will prove of great help to the commission when 1t formulates It's plans of campaign.
 Many of the letters to the presi- dent are from men whose names are known everywhere, but the bulk of them are from the men who are most vitally interested-the farmers themselves. The general tenor of the farmers letters show that not only are they deeply concerned in the work of the commission, but that they have clear-headed ideas of the presidents purpose in starting the inquiry and of what the outcome may be. The writers get down to the business and set forth their ideas with a hard-headed logic and clearness of statement that makes it seem a little doubtful if the be- lief of some persons that rural schools ought to be improved is we'll founded. The farmers themselves however, agree that the educational facilities in the country districts ought to be made over so as to fit country conditions and needs more closely. A number of writers urge the need of introducing some sort of elementary agriculture into the schools. Not all are of this opinion, however Some maintain that there is danger of trying to make agri- cultural instruction too academic.
 The one point in which all ths farmers without exception agree with the president is that the great est trouble with agricultural life Is it's isolation. The remedy for this that is most frequently proposed Is better roads. Another solution that is advocated by a large proportion of the writers is that a means De sought to prevent the holding of large farms by persons or corpora- tions who do not work them tnem- selves. The argument is advanced that such action would attract set tiers to the country and that the wide spaces between farms would be broken up, and that further if the big tracts which are now worked by absentee owners or held for specu- lation were split up among inde- pendent owners, there would be greater opportunity for small farm CTS to come in and gain profitable livelihoods.
 A number of the presidents cor respondents urge revival in some sort of the old lyceum which pro- vided social center for rural com munities. Several writers tell of ex- cellent results that have been ob- tained in their own neighborhoods by literary societies, not so much in their educational capacity as in pro- viding a community bond.
 Many suggestions are made con- corning the post office service.
 All these letters are being filed and the gist of their contents will be brought before the commission for its consideration,

Curiosity held Jessica until the evan gelist closed his melodeon preparatory to descent upon the dance hall, Then, thinking of the growing dark with some trepidation, she started toward the mountain.
 Ahead of her muffled puff-puR sounded, and the dark bulk of an auto- mobile was moving slowly in the same direction, and she quickened her pace, glad of this quasi company.
 A little way up the ascent cum- brous shadow startled her She saw in moment that it was the automobile, halted at the side of the road, Her footsteps made no sound, and she was close upon 1t when she saw the three men 1t had carried standing near by. She made to pass them and had cross ed half the intervening space, when some instinct sent her to the shade of the trees. They had stopped opposite the hydraulic concession, where side path left the main road It was the same path by which she and August Prendergast had taken their uncon- scious burden on night long ago, leading along the hillside, overlooking the snakelike Hume and forming a sleeper short cut to the cabin above. They were conversing in low tones, and as they talked they pointed, she thought, toward it.
 Jessica had never in her life been an eavesdropper, but her excited senses

box she is quite sure to settle down and begin feeding.
 < When she does, put the box on a stake few feet high for the purpose and slip off the cover and stand back few paces. In few moments the bee will slowly rise, make a few spiral flights to get its bearings, then start on a bee line" for it's hive. If it goes towards civilization 1t is usu- ally safe to assume that 1t Is a do- mestic bee and it Is best to try an other. When one starts toward the mountain it is equally sure to be d wild bee. If the swarm is not more than two miles away 1t will return in the course of ten or fifteen min utes, and after making a few trips others will usually come with it.
 AS soon as there is well estab- lished line running 1t is usually we'll to "cross line them" This is done by shutting up few in the box and taking them quarter of mile or so aside to another cleared spot and there setting up again. In little while there will be another line at  work, and where the two lines inter- sect of course the swarm may be found
 But to find the particular bee however. is the most difficult part of the whole thing, for there is not much use of trying to follow line through the woods, and the opening where the little creatures enter their homes is frequently only little hole high up among the branches. But success is pretty sure to reward per severance. The matter of securing the honey is not such a hazardous undertaking as most people imagine, although it often involves considers ble hard work to cut the tree. When the improvised hive crashes to the ground the bees at once fill them selves so full of their treasure that they cannot, or at least rarely do, sting one.-Amherst Correspondence Springfield Republican.

DO THE PEOPLE RuIE9
Recent Publications Convince Voters That Trusts Control Legislation.

After all the excitement over the publication of the Standard Oil let ters, showing that trusts control leg islation, has reached the stage where the voters sift the wheat from the chaff of sensational publications, what will be the logical conclusion in the minds of the voters. It will be:
 1. That the people do not rule, because the national lawmakers leg islate to suit the trusts More trusts exist to-day than ever, the people suf- fer more from them, and they prac- tice more extortion.
 2. That the party in power is the party through which the trusts rule. The republican party is now in pow CT. Itwrites all the national laws. Tn speech in the last congress, MT Sherman Candidate for vice-presi- dent) declared that the republican party assumed full responsibility for everything that has been done and for what has not been done. That is right. The trusts write the tariff laws passed by republican votes. If the magnates are not punished criminally 1t is because republican officials fail in their duties. For eleven years the democrats have had no power to frame federal laws or to execute a federal statute. If everything in America is all right, as to federal laws, for eleven years, the republican party deserves the credit. If "evils have crept in" the republicans are responsible. The only hope for change lies in the election of Bryan.
 Suppose some individual democrat has been employed by a trust. He could not get law passed, he could not give "an immunity bath," he could do nothing effectively for the trusts unless a majority of the re- publican congressman favored the trust measures. The republican ora. tors cannot escape responsibility by trying to pick out some democrat who has been employed by a trust: Re- cent disclosures prove that the people do not rule, but that the trusts owe their existence and~fatness to republi- can laws and republican officials.
