Almost from the cradle of the Ameri-
can theatre is this historic parent
house in the old colonial house in An
napolis there has been a Jefferson high
up on the role. In the middle of the
nineteenth century William e. Burton
was at his zenith.
Then there came forward the fam
Gus trinity of our fathers delight, vii
liam Warren. John E. Owens and his
immortal "Solon Shingle;" and RIP
Van Wrinkle" Jefferson. John T. Ray
mond and William J. Florence were
their younger brothers. The last years
of the century were the days of Sol
Smith Russell and Nat Goodwin The
only comedian who has since appeared
to challenge a place in this historic
galaxy is Tim Murphy.
This actor came TO the stage with
an ideal He determined to study at
the feet of Raymond, Warren, Flor

to be a comedian instead OF a clown;
an actor who has mastered the magic

hearts of the people.
There are two kinds of laugh max
ing. One springs from the lines which
are jokes and the action which is in
evitable. No one can fail with these
tools but they employ the artisans not
the artists of the craft The other kind
is developed from the searching of the
heart and character of role, it is
founded on human nature, it is far
more enduring and it is the measure of
an artist.
In the comedies of Jefferson, Good
win and Murphy there are no jokes.
The layman would find few funny
lines in the manuscript. How is it,
then, that these comedians keep an au-
dience in an unfagging good humor
rouse them TO hearty laughter, send
them away from the theatre to dwell
endearingly on the memories of an ev-
ening 1t is all the way they say
line. the very way they are silent In
deed though they talk all evening, it
is often not in the least what they say
that delights their audience it is what
they are, what they make 10 live and
be in the character set upon the stage.
Tim Murphy has had an uncommon
number Of successful roles. He bound
ed to fame as the Hon. Maverick
Brander il a Texas Steer" He ce-
mented his position with "Old limo
cence;" the governor of Mississippi in
The Carpet Basger." and delightful
Joel Gay in a Capitol Comedy" They
are remembered, all of them, but who
can recall a funny line or joke from
the entire list? The comedian peoples
our memories with dear quaint, fascin-
ating friends who are friends in per
petuity.
Comedy is in this sense half an en-
dowment of nature, half the sincerity /
of an artist Human nature Is fuller /
of fun than the part imagination of all
the writer's of jokes who ever lived But /
there is no task so severe, none chal- /

perience as of human nature. Mr.. !

JOBS FOR LAME DUCKS Commissions to Provide Places for De
 feated Members

Washington Cor. New York Tribune.
 The leaders of the two houses of con gress are making energetic efforts to care for the ''lame ducks,'' the term given those members who failed of re. election. The most effective means of accomplishing this end will be the ere ation of commissions on which those members who fell outside the breast works can serve. The monetary com mission will be used to care for Senator Teller and Representative Overstreet. MT. Teller has done excellent work on this commission, and the members are anxious to retain his services. MT. Ov- erstreet will be retained on the ground that he is an expert on postal affairs, and that therefore his services will be valuable in connection with such phases of the work as may have to do with postal savings banks, funds, Sc.
 Senator Hemenway, will be made the head of a commission to investigate fur ther the secret service and to report to congress such changes as it may be ad- visable to make in the statute to pro- vide for an adequate government de tective force. This has been the pur- pose of the senate leaders all along, and the reports that Mir Hemenway was considered for the Taft cabinet and rejected at the behest of President Roos- evelt are wholly without foundation. The proposition to add two members to the interstate commerce commission provides places for Representative "Pete' Hepburn, author of the rail- way rate law, and for some other mem Der of the house.
 A prohibition commission which it is proposed to create will probably provide places for Senator Hansbrough, and a number of representatives who failed of reelection. It is proposed to con fide to this commission a thorough in vestigation of the extent of the power of congress to control the traffic in liquor through the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution, an inves. tigaticn of the effects of the sale of liquors as related to crime, financial prosperity, Sc.

INCOMING OF TAFT.

The termination of the Roosevelt ad- ministration and the incoming of Will. jam H. Taft as chief executive of the United States will doubtless be viewed by the people with varying emotions, determined to great degree by the in- dividual's political bias, business inter oSts, education and interpretation of the correlative powers of the admins trative, legislative and judicial branches of our government. We belive, how ever, that the prevailing sentiment will be one of satisfaction that the country is to enjoy period of rest and freedom from the political turmoil with which it has been afflicted during the greater part of MT. Roosevelt's seven years incumbency of the office of president. We would not detract from President Roosevelt's achievements as an admin iStrative statesman, but rather deplore his autocratic demeanor, his disregard of the rights and feelings of others, his egot.sm and his attempted usurpa. tion of the powers of the coordinate branches of government.
 MT. Taft is in many respects the an- tithesis Of Mir. Roosevelt. The difference between the two men, as a writer has recently pointed out, is difference in training and in temperament. Mir. Taft is a lawyer, man of most methodical intellectual habits. He has been a judge. He weighs evidence carefully. He does not do things in spectacular way. Yet he will be as insistent upon the enforcement of the laws, but there will be less noise, and more consistency in the performance of his official acts. The country looks forward to four years of peace. progress and prosperity, under wise and conservative administration of the government by President Taft and his advisers.

STOPPING SMOKE WASTE
Pennsylvania Railroad Successful In its
 Experiments

From the Chicago Record Herald. The Pennsylvania achievements in the way of operating locomotives with. out smoke have attracted the attention of the National Civic Federation, and this organization has invited a discus sion of the roads methods from A. w. Gibbs, the general superintendent of motive power of the road.
 MT. Gibbs reply forms very impor- tant contribution to the whole subject of smoke suppression in one of it's most difficult felds-that, namely, of the To- comotive engine.
 A railroad knows that smoke is a pub lie nuisance, but it has very important financial reason in addition for striy- ing after smoke suppression, since from 8 to II per cent of it's total operating cost is for fuel, and much of the fuel is wasted by imperfect combustion. Bi- luminous coal, the hardest to burn with out smoke is, however, a necessity in the engines of most roads. The solu- tion of the problem is found in methods of stoking and in mechanical appliances.
 MT. Gibbs says that his roads exper- iments show that bituminous coal can be burned practically without smoke; that some appliances are helpful, but that even with the best of them the personal factor cannot be ignored and that, therefore, in the last analysis the solution of the problem lies in teaching the firemen how to stoke properly and in compelling them to use their knowl- edge.
 What can be done by one road can be done by others, and what railroads can do can much more easily be done in factories. If the proprietors of en- zines and power plants cannot learn they should be punished until they find 1t profitable to learn.

OUT OF SIGHT aALLANrRY

Every day in the street cars in the cities we see men leap out of thei, seats, and lowing gracefully, presen, them to women.
 Fine, but VII the same man speak kindly to the telephone central when she gives him the wrong number?
 At the church, the theater, on the street, we witness gallantry of our men
 stepping aside while the lady passes, gently assisting his companion with her cloak, taking the arm of the timid woman among the tearing autos, the rattling trucks and the changing cars.
 Beautiful, but if central fails to an- swer promptly, will these same gentle men be tolerant of her lack of activity or will they scold her and report tho delay to the manager?
 Out of sight gallantry, the courtesy that is not seen by the world, is the real gallantry. There is plenty of gal lantry on display, but is there much of it under cover?
 Dr. Robert Dwyer of the University of Toronto, an expert in nervous diseases, says that the work of the tele- phone girl is one of the most terrible occupations known to American work ing women. He says: After these girls have served the company four or five years and have got married and left the service. they turn out badly in their domestic relations. They break down 'nervously, and have nervous ch.l. dren, and it is a loss to the community. thing it is the duty of the state to icgislate in matters of this kind. It is this sort of thing that is laying the foundations of the asylums.
 Dr. James M. Anderson, another nerve specialist, is quoted as saying: 1T have treated a number of telephone girls, most for eye troubles, headache and nervous strain. After service O. three

or four years would expect to find an exhausted womanhood.
 Many people will claim that the tes- timony of the doctors quoted above is an argument for debarring all women from industry. But the telephone girl is working because she has to live, and that knocks that argument flat As the social system will not be changed in a day, it might be well for us to think of plans for changing the industrial syytem-devtsing laws that will force employers to deal fairly with their woman workers.
 Exhausted womanhood after "three or four years,'' and for three or four dollars per week-bread moncy-it is unthinkable.
 Patrons of the telephone, until TO- form comes, can help the girl at the other end of the wire by refraining from abuse and venting anger for poor service upon the real cause of the trou- ble.

 Dyspepsia If you can help it Kodol prevents Dyspepsia, by effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion. But don't trifle with Indigestion.

A great many people who have trified with indigestion, have been sorry for it-when nervous or chronic dyspepsia resulted, and they have not been able to cure it.
 Use Kodol and prevent having Dyspepsia.
 Everyone is subject to indiges. tion. Stomach Arrangement follows stomach abuse, just as naturally and just as surely as a sound and healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol.
 When you experience sourness of stomach. belching of gas and nauseating fluid, bloated sensation, gnawing pain in the pit of the stomach, heart burn (so-called), diarrhoea, headaches, dullness or chronic tired feeling-you need Ko- dol. And then the quicker you take Kodol--the better. Eat what you want, let Kodol digest it.
