peare. Dramatic literature and art has as
irrevocable a standard Of value and

arts or sciences. The immutable law
that governs the problems of arithme-

1.-THE acknowledged standard of dra-
matte literature is Shakespeare and as
is the case with all students of the
higher things in art and science, who
aim to thoroughly perfect themselves
in the exemplifying and sustaining of
this standard, every actor who has his
art and profession at heart, aims for
recognition in that field of labor which
is accepted as the highest standard in
his profession, and an actor who can

great distinction, for the study and in

LOUIS JAMES HERE TONIGHT.
He Explains Why All Actors Want TO
Play Shakespeare.

"Why do all actors want to play
Shakespeare" was asked Louis James
the eminent actor, and his reply was:
1.-The big majority of actors love to act
that is, in the general acceptance of the
word, and where have they greater
opportunity to crafty that desire than
in the portrayal of the great Bard S
creations? Again where is the author
who has SO literally distributed so
many good parts into each play as
Shakespeare? And that is a very
pointed reason why so many actors love
to play Shakespeare, he has given them
all good parts; something dear to the
latter day actors heart, parts. But
best reason of all 1 think, Is the fact
that the actor who is really in love
with his art is always anxious to give
to the public all that is beautiful and
poetic, something staple for a founda-
ton, something upon which his repu-
tation can always stand, and there is
no surer foundation upon which any
actor can stand than upon Shakes

New York Jan 2.-Rose, mother or

BOUGHT LESS DIAMONDS.
United States Outlay $11,OOO,OOO Be-
low That of 1906.

New York, Jan. 2--Americans spent
100000 less for precious stones and
pearls during 1907 than they did during
1905. according to the figures given out
by the collector of customs. In 1905 the
importations amounted to s43,573,4ss
The boom in the diamond trade of the
United States, now temporarily check
ed, began ten years ago, the valuation
of the precious stones imports having
been down, in 1897, nearly to 81. O00. GOO
and increasing steadily until the high
est total was reached in 1906.
The price of diamonds, importers say,
is sustained and the reduced imports
are said to be due in part at least. to
the diamond trusts efforts to uphold
the market by curtailing supplies :
One of the largest importers has COM
piled figures indicating that since 1865
when the first diamond was found in
South Africa, that country has yielded
upward of sixty million karats while

five million karats.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi-
q good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and L hardly think
there was an organ in his tbdy that
was not affected.
II told him L felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
TT was a struggle, because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try It
and then it was easy to leave off
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until a. last
result of leaving off coffee and taking
up Postum. Then 1 began to drink it
too.
altogether I was never as bad off
as my husband, 1 was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong only weighing 95 pounds be-
fore I began to use Postum Now I
weight lis pounds and can do az much
work as anyone my size, think.
MANY do not use Postum because
they have not taken the trouble to
make 1t right. I have successfully
fooled a great many persons who have
drank it at my table They would re-
mark, You must buy a high grade of
coffee One young man who clerked
in a grocery store was very enthusi-
astie about my coffee Wl,enI told
him what IT was. he said, Why I've

CAUGHT MAN EATING SHARK.
Maine Fishermen Land One Weighing
More Than 500 Pounds.

Harpswell, Me-, Jan 2.-Fishermen on
the fishing schooner Maude E. Hamilton
have just brought into Portland the first
man-eating shark landed on the Atlantic
coast in some time. The big fish was
caught on an ordinary trawl and was ap
parentfy in a sluggish condition when
drawn to the surface. The fishermen who
hauled the shark to the surface lost no
time in putting two gaffs into him, and
then began a battle which lasted fully 20
minutes. The shark came to life in a
surprising fashion and several times the
men, thought they must let him go, as he
came near upsetting their dory. He was
finally landed with a tackle. He weighed
a little more than 800 pounds.
