wanted to tell him how grateful she
was for all his care of her. She
thought of the thousand little things
that she might have done for him. She

ABOUT rHrnn PARTIES.

The argument put forth in some quarters that there is no room in this country for a third party is not we'll founded. The old saying that there's always room for one more' applies to party organizations Not only is there room for . third one. but for a half-a-dozen. such as they may be. If the intention is to hold that there will be only one party to contest the field with the Democrats and Republicans perhaps there is some force in it. From the present indica- tions these two great organizations will hold their own. and it is hardly likely that any independent party will set either Of them aside. That feat has been tried more than once and failed, though in one or two cases it looked for a time as if such an or- ganization was going to sweep the country and put the two old ones out of business for good and all
 hA0J NOhhC a WItu DOIH Republicanism and Democracy will go down and a party on different lines from either will supplant them. but we see little prospect of it, at least in the near future. While the princi= pIes and policies which divide, or should divide, the two great political are not always as plainly defined as might be. there are enough essential and vital difference to keep them in are questions upon which Democrats and Republicans should not disagree but there are others about which they are as widely separated as the poles, and upon which there can never be any argument if each side remains true to its convictions.
 We look on 1t as essential that there should always be two strong and vi- rile political organizations in this country. At every national election we see. new parties spring up which strut their brief hour on the stage and that settles them. at least for time. They represent no vital princi- ples that will attract the people. In some cases they are founded on vis- ionary theories and idiosyncracies which can never attain to a condition of importance or attract any great number of people to them. In some the new party is founded on spite. disappointment and envy. Such req sons for organizing party are never of much or lasting force There must be something vital and solid to sus- tain a political party,
 We are among those who are firmly rooted in the principles and beliefs of Democracy as that term was under stood in the earlier days of the re- public. It stood for something moro than q name more than the person-

Hamlet Now and AIways.

 Forbes Robertson, the English player whom many critics regard as the greatest living Hamlet. said in recent interview that. when first considering the subtIest of Shakespearean roles. he told Ellen Terry ii was impossible-"every actor had played 1t. every audience had seen 1t and must be bored to death at the very nanne."F F {
 Not so," retorted Miss Terry. The inter- pFetative artist has always somethtng fresh to cay. No great pianist would ,think of refusing to play a Beethoven concerto te- cause 1t had been often played before :' whereupon wisely. Forbes RobeFtsoi, fessayed Hamlet and achieved the success Of his life. .s.-7.2- ' s
 But this was only because Hamlet was the work of a poet mind of universal in : sight and a marvellous intuitfVe knowledre of the human soul. and because Forbes Robertson brought to it's new playing the always new illumination possible only to a great artist. It Is the combination that counts--and in this truth is found the .cer- tainty that no truly great drama will ever are players worthy to play it.
