COMING ATTRACTIONS.



Mr.. Robinson Locke. OF the Toledo
Times, prefaced his criticism of Francis
Wilson's performance in HIS play. When
Knights Were Bold. in these words:
In days Of old there lived a man.
whose name we all know. and whose
story has been told and retold, and viii

FOR whom the sands Of time were almost
run. but who feeling. despite the fact.

longed for the time and strength with
which 10 conquer more worlds. This
man, so the story goes. braved priva-
tions, suffered untold hardships, and all
that he might find and drink from the
fountain of perpetual youth Who knows
but what the spirit OF this indOmitable
soul has found reincarnation IN the body
Of one Francis Wilson, comedian, who
for so many years sung his lay and his
way into the hearts OF the theatergoing
public? Who knows but that he. Ike

theories, II theories they be, are merely
suppositious. We only know that there
Is an indehnable charm about Mr.. Wilson.
and that never even in his days Of comic
opera has he been more wonderfully
yOuIntul, more charming, more lauBn pro-
voking than in his present vehicle.
The central figure IN When Knights
Were Bold suits this distinguished actor
perfectly and affords him the greatest
opportunity for fun-making that he has
ever had. Charles Frohman has provided
Mr.. Wilson with an exceptionally we'll
balanced company and a very handsome
production. and will present the comedian

How to Get a Job.

Walter Ward Biller tells the
following story about hardware
store in st. Louis, which advertised
for an errand boy. AS it happened,
the boss was talking to a customer
when a boy came in. Thinking he
wanted to buy something, he excused
himself, and. going over to the boy,
asked him what he could do for him.
The boy told him that he came in
answer to his advertisement and ask
ed for the job.
Well, of course, the boss got mad
by being disturbed while he was talk
ing to a customer He said to the
boy, You go outside and walk a
block. If l call you back, why.
will hire you; if don't, why, you just
keep on walking"
The boy did as he was told, but,
going out he picked up a shovel that
was standing near the door, put it
on his back, and started down the
street
Before he had gone ten feet, the
old man was after him, yelling, Come
back! come back!'
The boy came back. took off his
coat, and asked where he wanted him
to work-downstairs or upstairs, or
where.
The man took one good look at him
and said: Il guess I'll hire you. New
err mind putting your coat on. Start
right in."-Judge.

Chosen by Spanish Crown to Receive
Fiddle Sarasate Used.
When Queen Isabella Of Spain gave
to the ten-year-old Pablo Sarasate the
famous Stradivarius on which he
played for many years 1t was on the
condition that after his death it was
to be returned to the Crown OF
Spain, which should. in turn, bestow
it on the most deserving of the
violinists of the day. The fiddle has
has duly been given back to the
Government, which is expected now
to present it to Juan Manen, the
foremost violinist of Spain. Manen
is the composer Of the opera "Acte."
recently produced with success IN
Dresden by Ernst Schuch.
Virtuosos who are constantly la
menting the rattle which fine instrl-
ments are passing into the possession
of museums will have further cause
for regret because Sarasate gave his
other Strad to the museum of the
Conservatoire in Paris. He left, a
large fortune, for he had been play
ing more than thirty years, during
the greater part of which he exercis.

In picking alum helps to make the
pickles crisp, while horseradish and

Stone jars for bread and cake boxes
should be scalded twice a week in

Lamp wicks can be prevented from

1t is ? curious fact that in the last

A Practical Example.

There is a certain naval officer OF
the United States who is very muck
opposed to the use of profanity by
the officers under his command. In
deed, he has been known severely 70
reprimand, in private, officers On his
ships heard to address their men in
profane terms.
The following story is told concern
ing this admiral's command of 4
squadron engaged in target man
oeuvres in Magdalena Bay. Lower Ca
ifornia. The commanding officer cb-
served one day that the men of his
ship, the flagship, seemed to lag be-
hind the crews of the other vessels
of the squadron, being the last to fin
ish the execution of command or to
carry out a manoeuvre. He mentioned
this fact to his captain. Just as the
latter was about to reply there came
floating over the water from the YES
sci standing by the flagship volley
of oaths. the result of which was
that there was some pretty hustling
on the part of the men addressed.
CHANGING at his superior officer with
a smile. the captain replied:

men don't get enough encouragement
