as his prison is still shown-ln 1872
and 1913. Finally, for Nemesis would

Whoever Loves Ia Never Old.

When life has been well spent age is
loss Of what 1t can well spare-mus-
cular strength, organic instincts, gross
bulk and works that belong to these.
But the central wisdom which was
old in infancy was young in fourscore
years and, dropping off distractions,
leaves in happy subjects the mind pu-
rified and wise. / have heard that
whoever loves is In no condition old.
1 have heard that whenever the name
Of man is spoken the doctrine Of i'm
mortality is announced. 1t cleaves to
his constitution. The mode Of 1t baf-
fes our wit, and no whisper comes to
us from the other side. But the In
ference from the working Of intellect,
having knowledge, having skill-at the
end of life just ready to be born-af-
firms the inspiration Of affection and
of the moral sentiment-Ralph Waldo
Emerson.

OLD TIME ENGLISH.
Words as They Were Pronounced In
Shakespeare's Day.


The innovation Of pronouncing
Shakespeares words as they were
probably pronounced in his own day
was carried out at fete arranged at
University college, London. The ex-
pertinent inspired this comment by the
Manchester Guardian:
For zone touch Of nature" Shake
speare probably said "own tooch Of
natter" and, very much like a modern
Irishman, he would say, "a haste that
wants discoorse of rayson." 1t would
be "Loov's Labber's Lost and the
"Midsoommer Neechts Drame." Scraps
Of Hamlet" would sound thus:
"a haste that wants discoorse Of rayson
Would have moorned longer"
"Be they as pure French VI as grass
[gracel."
"a broken vooice and his whole foonction
shooting lsuitingl
With forms to his consayt."
ITO take arms against say OF troobles"
Our ancestors Of even some $50
years ago said Room for Rome,
"cheer" for chair, "obleeged" for
obliged, greet boul" the lou" as in
"out) for great bowl" and, further
back, Milton would say billing water"

ST. Louis, the oldest OF the great cities
OF the middle West, is about TO celebrate
its centennial with historical, military,
industrial and municipal pageantS, illumi-
nations, music and a great centennial bail.
An interesting feature Of the week will be
provided by the races for balloons and
air-ships-aeroplanes, dirigibles and
spherical balloons are to be represented;
and an effort will be made to have on ex-
hibition the monoplane in which Louis
Bleriot crossed the English Channel.
The centennial is that the incorporation
of the town, for the first settlement at
this point was made by the French under
Chouteau as early as l764.

A seasons work in the establishment
of a government horse pasture near Front
Royal, Va, by Capt. c. H. Conrad, Ir.,
of the Third Cavalry, has confirmed
QuartermaSter General Aleshire's belief
that animals suitable for the military SER
vice could be obtained in that section.
The department purchased only few
animals this year, but Captain Conrad
will resume his work in Virginia next
year, when greater number will be Sc
cured. The prices are reasonable and,
indeed, lower than those paid for animals
in the West.

The Value of Tact.

A tactful person can make a whole
roomful of people feel happy by con-
veying to them individually a tacit
recognition of their individual accom-
plishments. To tell shy girl that she
is charming Is to transform her and
make her exercise her charm. To tell
a dispirited man that he IS courageous
and clever is to put into him such an
infusion of strength that he will be on
the highroad to success.-WOman's

BURMA CIGARETTES.

One Will Last Smoker, or Maybe an
Entire Family, Day.
The American engineer home for a
visit from Burma accepted profered
cigarette and rolled it gently between
his fingers.
"At the risk Of seeming ungrateful,"
he said, Il rise to remark that the
specimen you have so kindly rendered
me strikes my acquired sense of the
fitness Of such things as highly made
quate. Merely as to size, l mean.
"The cigarette of Burma is a re-
markable contfivaONce, ranging IN
length from foot to a foot and a
half. an inch in diameter and not un-
like a giant firecracker in general
shape. If composed wholly OF tobacco
1t would be deadly. AS q matter or
fact, 1t contains very little tobacco.
1t is made of cornhusk or leaves OF
innocuous plants rolled tight and with
shreds Of the divine weed between the
layers. One will last smoker for
day, frequently an entire family for
day.
"The women Of Burma, the most
handsome and intelligent Of their sex
In the east, smoke these cigarettes ha-
bitually. 1t Is something Of q shock
when the visitor first sees a pretty
woman putting at one Of these enor-
nous cylinders. 1t is still more OF
shock If she Is carrying O youngster
astride her hip In approved native
fashion. Between puffs she offers her
cigarette to the child, who never re-
fuses the invitation.
"As to effect, the Burmese cigarettes
are practically harmless. AS to flavor,
they are insipid and unpleasant. New

PLANS NEW THEATER
FOR LOS ANGELES
SULLIVAN & C0NSIDINE MAN
HERE TO SCAN OUTLOOK
Manager Lincoln Declares He Does
Not Credit Reports of William
Morris Coup in Coast
Situation

Yesterday afternoon Fred Lincoln
general manager of the Sullivan & Con-
sidine circuit of vaudeville theaters,
operating throughout the west, stopped
quietly into Los Angeles to look over
the local vaudeville situation, and I'M
mediately initiated many improvements
which will benefit the Los Angeles
theater, the local Sullivan g. ConSidine
house. He expressed himself as greatly
pleased with the outlook for Vaude-
will in this city.
Tuesday Mr.. Lincoln closed a trans
action in San Francisco whereby the
National theater, which heretofore he
has booked, will become the sole prop
erty of Sullivan & Considine. 1t is the
intention of the firm to purchase many
theaters which they are now only book
ing and to build new theaters in many
cities.
With the completion of the new $135,-
coo Belle theater in Cincinnati, the new
Grand theater in Milwaukee, new
theater in Salt Lake City and the pur-
chase of the National in San Francisco,
Mr.. Lincoln stated that Sullivan &
Considne will have absolute control of
thirty-four theaters in the west and
will be able to offer performers thirty
four consecutive weeks.
Regarding the local situation, Mr..
Lincoln said ut will only be a ques-
ton of a few months before we will be
unable to accommodate the patrons of
our vaudeville in the Los Angeles thea
ter, and then we propose to build one of
the finest theaters in the entire west
here"
When asked concerning the rumors
of William Morris coming to the coast
Mr.. Lincoln said: Il have looked over
the situation on the coast very thor
oughly and [ cannot see where there is
theater in any of the larger coast
cities that he can possibly get with the
exception of the Valencia in San Fran
cisco, and | do not think he wants that
house. If he comes at all it will mean
the expenditure of Il world of money
and the building of a new theater in
every one of the larger coast cities
Mr.. Lincoln will remain in Los An
gees for a few days and will then visit
the Sullivan & Considine houses in San
Diego, Salt Lake City and Denver, re-
turning to the main office in Seattle.

Plans for the harvest home picnic
of the Illinois association of Southern
California, to be held at Playa del Rey
Admission day, September 8, in com
memoration of the anniversary of Cal
ifornia's admission into the federation
of states, are being considered by the
general officers and members of the
board of directors. Members Of the
executive committee which planned
the successful first annual picnic of the
Illinois society will go to Playa del Rey
Sunday as guests of the Los Angeles
Pacific Railway company, and s. b.
Cooper of the beach resort, to look
the ground over.
This special visit to the resort is
made for the purpose of mapping a
plan for laying out divisional lines,
permitting each county represented in
the association to hold its individual
reunion at Del Rey Admission day. The
lack of county reunions and the de-
mand for them was experienced at the
state picnic. A tedious program OF
speech making and musical numbers
will be omitted at the harvest home
picnic.

LIFE SAVED BY
DESERT SIGNS
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL
URGE ACTION
WILL APPEAL TO SUPERVISORS
TO POST GUIDES TO WATER
Lon w. Beck Reports on Conditions
Near Banning, Where Good Work
in That Direction Has
Been Done

To aid the traveller on the hot desert
by way of placing desert sign posts at
frequent intervals was the object of
the meeting of the board of directors
of the chamber of commerce Wednes
day. A report was given by Lon
Westcott Beck, who recently returned
from placing desert sign posts. The
secretary was instructed to communi-
cate with the board of supervisors of
Southern California counties, urging
that all desert roads be supplied with
signs showing the way and distance to
water and to the various towns, and
that the newspapers be asked to place
before the public facts regarding the
proposed development of these outly-
ing sections of Southern California.
The report of Mr.. Beck, addressed to
George w. Parsons, chairman of the
desert sign post committee, Is in part
as follows
"On the desert, through what is
known as the Banning Dale route, is
well defined road, Travelled consider
ably during the early spring, but there
are many dangerous stretches for one
to be caught without supply of water
and a knowledge of the country
''The board signs I put out should be
replaced with iron signs before an
other summer. The country south and
east of Twenty-nine Palms on the
road from Mecca to Ehrenberg, has
been well posted, but many of the
signs are blown down and need re-
painting The country in all directions
from Parker is without signs but this
is a new district. There will be many
prospectors in there this winter and
next spring. Water is very scarce and
roads very heavy. Where signs have
been posted many have been badly shot
up. There should be a way of handling
persons who will deface a desert sign.
IT desire to call your attention to
the fact that, up to this date last
year, three men had lost their lives,
and there had been many cases of in
tense suffering in one district. But so
far this year no loss of life and very
little hardship has been reported, and
I give the signs the credit. The loss of
life and suffering on the desert can be
greatly reduced by the only remedy,
the sign posts. This seems like a
small matter, but only to those who
have not been through this desert
country and know not what it is to
have an empty canteen. miles from
water"
