1t rains upon the just, were told,
But unjust, too, get wet;
The sun shines on the righteous ones,
And on the bad, you It;
Then what's the use, we sadly ask,
Of being just or good?
Wen get the rain and get the sun
Just as we really should.

three years ago. The day begun in the

The elevator boy was the first TO wish
me a Merry Christmas, which hack

the hotel clerk and the head waiter in a
half-hoarted way. While at breakfast

nearby store kept by man whose nd

a purely commercial one, was open. and

pensive toys that are so priceless to
little boys and girls How I enjoyed the
next half hour.
When l reached the hospital. looking

eager expectancy, but each peered long

Marlowe as LADY Macbeth.

Julia Marlowe's Lady Macbeth is the
topic on the lips Of present or prospec-
tive audiences and of actors these pre-
Christmas days. says a writer in the
New York Dramatic News. Miss Mar
lowe has with her shapely hand smashed
the traditions. And those who are bravo
enough to smash traditions always re-
cefve some degree of censure. Miss Mar
lowe has not escaped it, from tradition
lovers.
Miss Marlowe was as true to her own
conception as a magnet to the pole. She
concelves the most cruel of Shakespeare S
women to be no fiend no demon in fe-
male form, but a woman possessed with
desire for glory for her husband.
She coaxes him to do murder with the
same arts women employ when they per-
suade their lords to buy them a new
hat or a jewel She embraces him.
wheedles him. In the sleep-walking
scene she slaps the face Of tradition
again by casting off the well-worn white
robe and appearing in one of gray. In
this scene she makes no attempt at
majesty She is merely a woman being
literally frightened TO death. Her ewes
reflect a torture that cannot be borne.
Her groans are those OF mortal agony.
She has tried 10 humanize a tradi-
tionary tiend. That she has succeeded
with some who saw, / learned from an
actor OF ripe experience and hight at
tainments, who gathered up his wife's
wraps after the play with such a smile
as we see on the faces of those who
have profoundly enjoyed.
She is daring, but the best of the
Lady Macbeths for forty years" he said.
Not so noisy as some Not so noisy as
Ristori, whom l saw, but better"

plosion of a heavy charge of dynamite
at a construction camp on the x
extension of the Santa Fe railroad
near Novite, Tex, Sunday afternoon.
Only six Of the dead men have been

into shreds by the force Of the explos-

Al. Warren, foreman of the blasting
crew, is missing, and as he was in the

plosion it Is expected his body was
blown to atoms.
The accident occurred shortly after
the lunch hour at the Suderman &

railroad construction work. The men
were at work in o rocky cut. where a
heavy charge of dynamite had been
