OF one of New York's exclusive clubs.
The stewards were going TO throw him
out. but one OF the members, whom a
good meal and cigar had made good
natured. stopped them.
What do you want. kid" he asked.
Just job. SIR the boy answered.

There was none OF the assertive'
ness, none of the alert smart conf
dence OF the city boy in the answer.
Just pathos and fear and hunger.
The clubman had been a frightened
boy from the country himself once.
He felt a protective instinct toward
the youngster. He found that the boy
had ridden in from the west In a box
car.
The clubman got the boy uniform
and a Job as bell boy in the hotel.
Beyond his name-Leon Wesley
the club men never learned anything
OF the boys past. But they all liked
him He was so thin and pitiful and

TEMPLE.
An exceptionally well.balanced bill
is presented TO Temple patrons this
week. There is an excellent char
acter acting. girl show" nimble
dancing, good music and novel bicy-

ments OF variety performance are
there. and just properly blended, with
no one sort OF entertainment FREEDOM

Ralph c. Herr carries away the
principal honors. In three mono
logue parts, he exemplifies as many
widely different types OF character,
each done with sympathy and fidelity

OF the three is the best First we are
shown an aged fop. fighting hard
against his infirmities, refusing TO ac-
knowledge the victory OF the years
and dying with gallant toast upon
his lips. An old-school actor, showed
aside by the new fashions in acting
but still clinging pathetically TO the
play-bill in which his name appears
as one OF the cast supporting Booth.
Is the second character, while the
third is fiippant lawyer, testing
about his divorce practice and singing
a song which is rather risQue.
The Six Blonde Typewriters," con-
stitute the girl act OF the week, and
six very winsome little maids are
they. They have five songs, two of
which are accompanied by the click
of the keys. Hazel Robinson and Ruby
Norton sing School Mates" as duet
during this act. Percy Chapmen is a
song to sing. Gus Edwards staged
this act and 1t has earned favorable
mention all along the circuit.
II one enjoys cycle acts, that pre-
sented by the Klein family should be
very satisfying, There are seven in
this troupe and they have about all
there Is in the cycle line. including
some comedy work that is not at all
