A Milder Salome.

ever witnessed at the Metropolitan,

ed its season at the Academy Of Music
in Brooklyn. The opera was Masse-
nets 'sHerodlade." given for the first
time in America. "Herodiade" Is a
milder and less erotic form Of the
"Salome" theme which stirred up such
d riot in the musical and religious
worlds few years ago. Massenets
Salome IS conventional and respectable
compared to the one created by Oscar
Wilde and Strauss, Indeed, she is al
most perfect lady. For my single

Ballet and Comic Opera.

At both the Metropolitan and the
Manhattan the ballet win be given
more prominent place than before, and
the opera comique will be introduced,
For the last MIR. Hammerstein is re-
sponsible, as he is also for the bring
Ing in of more French opera than has
previously been heard on the American
stage. This year the Metropolitan
makes 1t rule to have each compost
zion sung in the language In which II
was originally written, a plan which
requires largely increased number of
singers OF different nationalities. This
Is made possible by Its chain of opera
houses in other cities, allowing stimuli
taneous engagements. Thus while 1t
gives an Italian opera in New York it
can render one in German at PhiIadel-
phia and perhaps one In French at the
New theater. The salaries of the sing
ers have a monotonous and heart
breaking habit OF cor inuing whether
the recipients sing three times week
or once month. As some of these
salaries are up In the big figures and
none of them beggarly, 1t Is to the in
terest Of the company to use its talent
as much Of the time as possible and
thus get the worth of its money.
The chain OF opera houses is there
fore a godsend and for this reason. il
for no other, there will be every effort
to extend it. The branching out will
be done by both the Metropolitan and
Manhattan. Hammerstein has already
tried Philadelphia. Boston and Chicago,

Controlling ones Temper.

It Is about time that people under
stood the difference between losing
ones temper and controlling the pas
sions that lead to an exhibition of
undue, excitement. Often and often
has this sentence been uttered to
children when they have become
wrought up to the highest tension: /:
Don't lose your temper" 1t Is not
losing ones temper at all when he
allow his anger or rage to get the
better of him. On the contrary, he
permits 1t to gain and keep the mas
terry when he manifests any quality
that is not in keeping with his high
er nature. The girl or boy who can
keep calm and unruffled under try
ing circumstances is sure to come
out the victor. Controlling the tenn
per consists simply in guiding the
thoughts into the right channel, not
allowing them for one instant to get
the better of ones judgment and
reason, and 1t can be acquired by
young and old without much diff

May Hook Suckers Through the Ice.
A great deal of trouble was occa-
stoned in this section last year owing
to the fact that fishermen who had
hooked suckers under the Ice were
liable to be hailed before a justice
and fined.
However, there is now a remedy
made for this situation. Representa-
tive Eugene Kinney, had an amend
ment to the regular FISHING bill"
adopted by the Legislature, SO that 1t
is now lawful to hook suckers from
underneath the ice In any stream, in
cluding trout streams. The hooking
may be done with line containing
nor more than three hooks or a burr
hook may be used. In explanation of
the burr hook 1t may be said that this
Is an appliance on the end of pole
which contains three hooks. Each
pole dare not contain any more than
three hooks or the parties violating
the law in this respect, will be amen
able to it and subject to a fine.

Christmas Packages in the Mail.

The approaching holiday season
brings to mind that if it is important
to do Christmas shopping early it is
equally important to see that gifts
to be sent by mail are sent at such
a time that they will not be delayed
in the congestion of the numerous
packages usually mailed two or
three days prior to Christmas. While
extra clerks are employed on the
mail trains to handle the increased
amount of. mail yet this augmented
force cannot promptly handle the
immense accumulation when it is
suddenly dumped in the postoffice.
If you desire good service, see that
your packages are securely wrapped
anu tied, and that the full postage
is paid thereon, that the name and
address of the party to whom it is
sent is plainly written thereon in
ink, and also your own name and
address preceded by the word
from" If the package is mailed
one week or ten days before the 25th,
you can be sure that it will be
handled promptly and reach its des-
tination in good time.

Hobson Argues for Big Navy.

Washington, Dec. 15.-"War is in
evitable," declared Congressman
Richmond P. Hobson (Dem., Ala.),
the hero of Santiago, in a speech on
the philosophy of Naval Policy for
the United States," delivered in the
House to-day.
'As things are going the United
States will probably be in for defeat
in the first stages of the conflict" he
said. "Then it will have to prolong
the war for years, at fearful cost of
lives and treasure to achieve vict-
ory."
,Hobson's plan to avert this calam-
ity is to build six battleships a year.
He says that that will make war
less likely and if it does come it will
insure speedy victory for Uncle
Sam.
Congress should authorize not
less than four first class battleships,"
Hobson said. England is building
248,OOO tons of warship displace-
ment, Germany 211, 900 tons, France
$4,000 tons, Russia $4,000 and the
United States only 103, 900 tons, with
japan close behind with $4,000 tons.
When these ships are completed the
United States will yield second place
among the naval powers to Germany
and be within the tonnage of one ship
ahead of France. Four battleships
this year is the minimum that will
place.
"The standing armies and first re-
serves of the world ready for instant
war service number over 32, 900.
They are just over the oceans from
American shores and these oceans
are no longer barrier, but a means
of transportation. If America de-
sires to continue to live unharmed
she must control the water between
our shores and those armies" He
said the possession of valuable ter
ritory is the first great cause of war
and the United States should prepare
to hold the Panama zone and its
helpless possessions in the Pacific.
He spoke especially of Pearl Harbor,
near Honolulu, calling it "the pivot
of the world, the most vital spot in
the history of the world" Control
of that harbor meant control of the
Pacific, he said.
The navy should be strong enough
to win, he declared, because "if 9
war ended in defeat our people
would never be satisfied and we
would enter upon period of gigan'
tic preparations to fight the war over
again at some future day."
All modern wars, he asserted, hat
been won by the nations with super
Tor preparations for the contests ant
the United States should place itsel
in readiness by adding to the navy
six dreadnaughts year.

PLEASE REMEMBER
THESE DON'TS;
THEY MAY HELP YOU
~ ONT think that you are too
poor to keep Christmas
~ You can't be so poor as all
that

that.
Don't spend so much on Christmas
that you can't get even with the
butcher and grocer until March.
Don't give presents that are a
pleasure for ten minutes and a bur-
den and a worry for ten years.
Don't, young women, buy neckties
for your men folks; don't encourage
them in being bigger guys than neces-
sary.
Don't give a drum to the children
of your enemy who works nights. A
watchman's rattle is Just as good,
and it is cheaper.
Don't give your wife something
she doesn't care for just because you
want 1t yourself. This "don'ts"
works the other way Just as well.
Don't forget that basket of fruit
or a box of flowers Is just as nice
present in many cases as something
that will just last good deal lon
ger.
Don't try to find the price marks
on the gifts you receive. II the gifts
are worth having they mean some
thing above dollars and cents.
Don't forget the Bob Cratchits and
the Tiny Tims-that Is, unless you
are unregenerate Old Scrooge, In
which case forgetfulness can be ex-
planned.
Don't put off everything to the
last, because you had better for the
Joy Of your friends give nothing
than wear yourself out, and be as
cross as two sticks when the blessed
day comes.
Don't waste any of your pity on
the long haired youths who lie at the
bottom of the heap in football scrim-
images. You will need all your pity
for yourself in the rush at the holi-
day counter.
Don't check off each gift you re-
ceive against each present that you
gave and calculate whether you
made or lost. Christmas is not the
time to be any smaller or meaner
than you can help.
Don't oppress children who are
satiated to sadness with toys already
by giving them more. There are
other ways of making them happy,
or if there are not it is because they
are spoiled with many pleasures and
are the most pitiful beings alive. In
that case let them try doing some
thing for poor children, who are
blessed in powers of enjoyment, and
see if the capacity won't prove catch
ing.
Don't neglect, if you are woman,
to lay in a stock of some simple
things like handkerchiefs and
sachet bags for unexpected emergen-
, cies if you like to meet various peo-
pie with a reasonable token.
Don't set your own happiness up
as the chief thing to be looked out
| for at Christmas time. Try to make
other people happy and forget your
self, then you will be surprised to
see how really happy you are.
Don't give book to man with
big library or a picture to the man
who makes a specially of the fine
arts unless you know pretty well
what he wants. Ten to one he'd
rather do the buying of such things
for himself.
Don't write your name or any
body else's on cards if you send
them. No one can keep lot of such
truck, and it is often highly convent
ent just to send them on their trav-
els to carry Christmas greeting to
other people. And why not?-Buf-

Elevating Influence of Base Ball.

Baseball, the most popular Of
American games, was recently intro
duced in Cuba. At Havana, where
the first game was played, twenty
thousand people watched the sport
and enjoyed 1t. This large number
seems all the more remarkable be-
cause a bullhght had been advertis-

the ball game but had to be aban-
