Servant h the Houa..

There might be some criticism of rhe
Servant in the House because Of the
sacrilege in attempting to delineate
Christ on the stage and objections
from opponents of socialistic ideas
through the propagation of those
theories in the production. D ,spitc
these, II is a great plov It's expos.
of the hypocricy Of the church-as in
fiicted under the guise of religion by
such men as the bishop of Lancashire,
is vivid and strong. The lessons
taught in the great bond of love be-
tween mankind-the general leveling
of all classes was uplifting. The play
is optimistic in the main. It is up
building to higher degree than most
productions.
The production was given here with
a strong cast Wilfred Roger as Man
son, the butler, and Charles Dalton as
Robert Smith, the drain man, rivaled
with each other for stellar honors.
The dramatist and Mr.. Roger evil
IDENTIFY intended the character of Man
son to represent Christ It was shown
in the fore-knowledge OF everything
by Manson, In his commanding atti-
tude to Vicar and Mrs. Smith, in his
reference to the crucifxion and in
other places. This idea was not made
extensively prominent but was evident
as an undercurrent through the entire
performance. Mr.. Roger has quiet
dramatic force, a magnificent stage
presence, forceful man YER ana a be.
nign bearing.
AS Robert Smith, the drain man ana
brother of the vicar, Charles Dalton
gave the audience a splendid character
sketch He was best in the third act
where he suddensy confronted his
daughter whom he had not seen in If
teen years.
George w. Wilson was grand in the
character of the world y bishop. His
is an unpleasant part but done in an
artistic manner.
Milton Sills was only fairly accept
able as the vicar. His tendsncy TO be
STACEY" rather marred his WORK.
Ben Fields as Rogers, tho page hoy,
was most satisfactory.
Miss Collier. the Wears wifs was
well cast
Gladys Wynne. as Mary, the niece,
has childish appearance and voice,
remarkable talent and but for a ten
dency to speak too low, there is no
criticism of her work.

This Is a new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valuable as
a cure for chronic and muscular rheu-
matism, and for the relief from pain
which 1t affords in acute infiammatory
rheumatism. Those who have used 1t
have invariably spoken OF 1t In the
highest terms of praise. Lame back
lame shoulder and stiff neck are due
to rheumatism OF the muscles, usually
brought on by exposure TO
cold or damp. ana are quick

1t was In IS47 that Hicks frst made
county name as a witty raconteur
In that year Sir Samuel Spry, who had
been member for Bodmin since the
great reform blu, lost his seat and in
petulant mood took legal proceedings
against Hicks on the ground that he
had abused his official position to In.
nuence voters at the poll. In the
course of the trial Hicks was called
upon to state what he had to say in
bis defense. In the course OF his state,
ment he asked leave of the court to
illustrate his position by a story. His
request being assented to, he related
how a few days previously he had
been TO see lad whom he knew well
who was laid up from a fall from a
Vicious donkey, which had kicked out
all bis front teeth. The lad. said
Hicks, had taken the matter in the
aost kindly way and had said to him
'Tisn't the fall, Mr.. Hicks. and tisn't
he vally Of the teeth what annoys
me. but it's the nashty, ghastly
wishous disposition Of the jackass."
Sir Samuel Spry sprang up in the
wen OF the court in a fury and ex.
claimed, He has called me lack.
asst" The court was convuised with
laughter, and Hicks was promptly and
fnlly acquitted of the trumpery charge
brought against him.-Cornhill Maga-
kline.

TAFT AND THE TARIFF.

Much concern seems 70 be felt in
washington on account OF the appar-
entity non-committal attitude of Presi-
dent Taft regarding the pending tariff
bill which is under discussion. Bx-
actly what those who feel this concern
had to expect OF him is not clear. Tt
is not his business 70 NEEDLE with leg
islative proceedings while they are in
progress or exert his influence for or
against pending measures, and presi-
dents who have done so have been sub
sect to serious criticism. 1t Is said that
his genersl position on the subject of
tariff revision is well known, and his
failure to interfere by word or act dur
ing the progress OF debate IL variously
interpreted in the light OF that sup
posed position. But his position was
made known before the calling of the
special session OF congress only IN
very general terms in campaign
speeches and IN his inaugural address.
He recognized the demand for re-
vision and the party pledge for re-
vision. and expressed his own belies
that this meant general reduction OF
rates ard correction Of inequalities
BY applying the principle OF difference
between the cost Of production at horne
ana abroad. There was never anything
definite In thissay The New York
Journal OF Commerce. In his briei
message to congress after the ccnven-
ing OF the present session he said thai
conditions affectjng production man.

The Gingerbread Man has a fantastic
little story which concerns creatures
with which every one is familiar, but
IT puts such dialogue In their mouths
and is served in such an irresistible
way that one is irresistibly entertained
IN it's development. The characters
are unusual and their methods totally
unlike anything that we can recall in
comic opera, therefore its novelty is
appealing, and even II the play were
not such good entertainment, a night
spent In listening to Sloan's music is
always well spent. Mr.. Sloane is re-
sponsible for such compositions as:
Coming Thro' the Rye, Lady Teazle.
The Mocking Bird, Jack and the Bean
Stalk, Broadway to Tokyo. and Sargent
Kitty; all tuneful operas, many of
which succeeded on the strength of the
score alone.
The principal numbers in the Gin
gerbread Man are: John Dough, the
Evil Eye, Do You Believe in Santa
CLAUSE, Every Little Something, Old
Rameses, the Beautiful Land of Bon
Bon. and Moon, Moon. The latter
song is enhanced by the appearance Of
a little girl sitting on the crescent Of
the new moon and floating dreamily
through clouded sky. The suns re-
fiection brightens up her face while
she sings this sweet refrain.

Kenmare, N. D.. May 24.--A home
steadef named Sibonius Swanson, liv-
ing on a claim in the hills country,
made a deliberate attempt to kill him
self, A brother who lives a few
miles distant, happened to go over to
the shack belonging to Swanson, and
on opening the door q horrible sight
met his gaze. Lying on a bed was the
form of man literally covered with
blood. his throat cut almost from ear
to ear. and the left arm slashed open
near the wrist penetrating to the
bone.
On approaching the bed the visitor,
to his establishment. saw the man
move. He attempted to get up but
was too weak.
Summons Assistance.
Hurriedly the brother left the house
to summond assistance. and as soon as
the telephone could be reached, medi-
cal aid was called, two physicians go
ing out from Kenmare In an auto.
Swanson returned with a neighbor
to the shack, where they were again
confronted with a most unusual and
CHASTITY sight, the would-be suicide
having gotten out of bed and meeting
them at the door. He tried to make
them understand that he intended to
die. 1t being found that he had cut
into the wind pipe, which made ar
ticulation almost impossible.
The physicians arrived about an
hour after the alarm was given, and
the man was temporarily bandaged
and quickly hurried to Kenmare being
placed in st. Johns hospital, where
the physicians and nurses did every
thing possible to save the mans life.
The man was given every attention.
and 1t is thought he will recover from
the effects Of his rash act, although

razor penetrated through the flesh

Worry Caused Act.
Swanson was induced to make q
statement regarding his attempt to
kill himself. and while II was with diff
f1culty that he speaks, II was learned
that he had been In some trouble and
worried over 1t, so decided TO kill him
SELF He said: 'T took my razor that

amendment in the house. With
practically a full attendance. mem

The entire day particularly was con-
sumed in discussing the lumber and

Of Minnesota, the advocates of free
lumber in the house went down to
defeat by the narrow margin OF six
votes, following the striking out of
the countervailing duty on lumber.
An overwhelming majority was mus
Scott of Kansas, taking hides from
the free list and fixing a duty upon
them of 10 per cent ad valorem. The
barley schedule came ia tor 4 lively
discussion, and when the bill was
laid aside for the day there were
pending two amendments, one raising
the rate in tn Payn bill from Is
cents to 25 a hushel. and the other
fixing the rate at 10 per cent ad
yalorem. The sum total OF the days
work, with the exception Of the elm
ination of the countervailing duty Cd
lumber was to leave the bill in den

committee reported it. This grants
