A pramatist,s saperstition.

NJ. Pierre Wolf, the French drama
tfst has written new play. As to its
title, you may ask NJ. Wolf, and he
will not tell you, for the good reason
that It does not exist
There may be one eventually, but
the author will certainly have nothing
to do with it. M. Wolff, like many
theatrical people, is superstitious. To
name play is to ruin play, in his
opinion. Accordingly his manuscript
never bears title, and he carefully
avoids thinking of a title all the time
he is writing the play. When it has
been read, rehearsed and is ready to
be played-in fact, when the author
has ceased to have anything to do
with ft-then the leading lady, the lover,
the walking gentleman, the prompt
er, the call boy or any one else may
think of titles to his hearts con-
tent, and five minutes before the bills
are set up M. Wolff will choose one of
the names thus suggested TO him But
he would rather cross dozens of
knives, spill pecks of salt and live
day and night with three candles
aight in his room than himself think
OF name for play of his.

THE BAD BOY.

A teacher in one of the schools of a
big city made great effort to keep in
order a boy eleven years Of ages son
of a wealthy society woman.
She sent him home after a series of
misdemeanors, instructing him to tell
his mother why he had been dismissed.
The next day the lad was asked if he
had told his mother.
No. he replied.
seWhy?'' he was sharply asked.
.Well, teacher" he replied, 81 haven't
seen my mother for two weeks, and
then she was just going out. When I
start to school in the morning she is
asleep, and they won't let me wake
her. When I go home In the evening
she goes out to dinner, and when she
comes home I'm asleep, so / don't Of
ten see her.
In the school this boy is known as
"the bad boy"
But who is really bad-this boy or
his mother? It may seem cruel to say
it, but
The woman is criminal!
In the sight Of God she is guilty
of breaking down the sacred tradi-
lions of the home, of exposing her own
flesh and blood, Of allowing the soul OF
her boy to be twisted by failing to put
around him the moral atmosphere Of a
mothers influence
Driven By some mad passion for
pleasure or by some Unsuitable spirit
of restlessness, she is forever on the
wing, leaving her boy to his own de
vices.

not fraise anything but rocks"
When Seeds moved to the place the
neighbors snickered.
And Bob Seeds wife sat down on
the doorstep of the farmhouse and
cried.
She read the big advertisements
about RoseEille down south or Boom
town out west, where you could get
rich quick on an acre or so, and she
wanted Bob to emigrate.
Meantime Seeds scratched away in
the rocky place lust for his health,
but ne did a lot of reading about soils
and a lot Of thinking for himself. And
he got so busy making things grow
that ne forgot about his health-which
Is a good way to get it.
To the surprise of the neighbours Bob
Seeds made that farm one Of the most
fertile spots in Pennsylvania.
People rubbed their eyes when they
went past his farm. And then every
body wanted to know how it was
DONE
Letters came requesting information.
They kept coming, and Bob Seeds had
to charge fee for telling how He
hired a stenographer, but she couldn't
keep up. Bob raised his fee.
Finally he had to go on the lecture
platform, so insistent was the call.
And when he delivered his lectures
the farmers wanted to know more
about his system. So he had to write
a book, entitled 'How God Made the
Soil Fertile

is the most restless. Every muscle
calls for an impulse Of activity. Is it
strange that he should blunder into
evil ways?
The boy cannot be blamed.
Put under proper surroundings he
might be different. Send this boy to
the country, give him a chance to work
off his surplus vitality, give him whole
some interests and kindly care and he
would grow into a good man.
But now he bids fair to grow into a
rich hoodlum, a creature without NOR
al, mental or physical stamina;
ruined boy, the wages of whose sins is
likely to be early disgrace or early
death.
Some day dart shall pierce the soul
Of this boys mother for having thus
brought a man-child into the world and
abandoned him.

THE PULL THAT PULLS.

But have no pull"
So said young man who was ad-
vised to apply at certain place for
job.
Such expressions-all too common in
our day-show that the habit of look
ing for special favors has become in
wrought into the fabric of society.
looking for pull is not only wrong
in principle, but in most cases is fatal
to success. .
The clerk who presumes on the
friendship Of the department head to
enjoy liberties denied to others or to
excuse lapses for which others are
disciplined will sooner or later come
to the end Of his rope.
The politician who fancies that be-
cause the populace throws up it's hat
for him today he can be forgetful of
his responsibility tomorrow will be
rudeiy disabused.
am thinking now Of an actress
who was petted until she was spoiled.
By and By she depended too much on
her pull with the public and was sent
to the foot Of the class.
Behind the pull is the pullback.
The merchant who thinks he is so
solid with his bank that he can per-
sistentiy overdraw his account or
''kfte checks will soon see his finish.
The whole system of special privi-
lege is wrong.
Equality is of the very substance of
righteousness. No one has a right to
ask more than an open field and fair
chance
And, besides
There is a real force in the manly
attitude that asks no favors He who
succeeds of himself, by himself and
for himself has sense Of self respect
that can never come by counting the
smiles Of another
Young man, beware the special IA
vor!
Nine times IN ten there is a string
tied to such a preference.
You are expected to return the ia
vor.
And when 1t comes to trading IA
vors, one for another, what guaranty
have you that you will receive more
than you givef The man who grants
you your concession is likely to ask of
your civility two in return.
You say you have no pull?
oh, yes. you have! You have pull
on your own strength and self will,
on your own patience and persistence,
on your own pluck and push.
And when you pull that string the
other end of it is not found in the
hands of some other man.
That is the pull that pulls.

LONG DISTANCE CRIME.


It is easy to sin by long distance
telephone.
To commit crime by telegraph is not
only easier but safer than to be on
the ground where the crime is COM
mitted
What do l mean?
Well, say a switchman is killed in
in the yards at indianapolis because
Of lack of equipment or a brakeman
is crippled for life at Cheyenne be-
cause there is no safety coupler pro-
vided according to law.
Who commits the crime?
Is it the division superintendent?
He has perhaps often called the at
tention of the general manager to the
need Of the appliances the law re-
Quires, and the general manager has
urged the directory board.
Who is guilty?
Manifestly the directors who sit
about the mahogany table in the Wall
street office or the capitalist who
manipulates the directory. And the
crime is committed for the basest mo-
tive-money.
1t has been done by long distance
methods. The men on the ground
must make dividends or resign. The
stockholders must have their money
even if it be wrung from quivering
human flesh.
Or
Here are mere infants sorting coal
over chute and being slowly choked
to death, or for lack of timbers a
mass Of slate falls from the mine roof
and kills the head of a family, or for
lack Of ventilation men die Of fire.
damp, or a fire breaks out in room
for lack Of proper inspection, and there
are no cutoff doors, and half a hun
dred miners die In the tunnels.
Who commits the crime?
The pit boss? He has done his best.
He has reported conditions to the man
ager and the manager to the owner
and has been answered that more
economies must be used in operation
Who is guilty? The coal baron hun
dreds of miles away from the place of
the crime.
Or
Here are hundreds Of children I'M
der legal age working in a big cot
ton factory. There is a law on the
statute books of the state against child
labor, but it is not enforced.
Who is guilty? Somebody miles
away who is sending his family to
Newport or to Europe for the sum-
mer.
Criminals7 Think you they are the
thieves who SLOUGH through back al
leys or the pickpockets and women of

TWO WOMEN.

't0h, John and I and the children
have been very happy. We have all
been quite well, and we enjoy life"
And she looked it.
Here is Cavalier, young, in the flush
at health, called by some the most
beautiful woman in the world, talent

And here is my milkman's wife, also
young, healthy, good to look at, work

Has it ever occurred to her that pos

happiness?
There may be something vitality
wrong within CavaIieri's self that has
Aapt her from happiness.
What is It? I do not know l

ssHa
Sometimes we who are neither tai

Anyway, 1t is certain that the old
look is right when 1t says that "a
