and one time the Teller was down here
in terrible foggy spell. and he was
figuring out to his cousin how he could
build a little portico of snch and such
dimensions. measuring out into the fog
with his rule. and so on.
"''Twas IN tire late afternoon. He

the man that lived here happened to
notice that the marks of the rule out

Those OF US who pride ourselves on
being liberal. and who cast toler-
ant eye on the foibles of their bro
thers. may find it in their hearts to
say that Jeff has a prestige that JUS
tifies his exhibition of brutal impo-
likeness; but that opinion will not
find universal acceptance.
To enjoy seeing a scrap between
two bruisers is one thing: but to
see one of these bruisers hold him
self aloof as a superior being is quite
another thing. Many men will sit

not greet the principals of the mill in

To be treated as the crowd here

to the sense of the yerities of life

II is fact not generally known
that the first Shakespearean role es-
sayed by Mr.. Mantell was that of
Romeo. Nearly 20 years ago Mr.
Mantell appeared in London, scoring
such hit that he played the role of
the ardent lover for an entire sea-
son in the English capital At that
time he was the leading Romeo OF
England
Mr.. Mantell and his company will
appear at the Park opera house in
this city, Friday, January IS.
Miss Marie Booth Russell, who is
the leading woman in the Mantell
company. is not only beautiful
woman but an accomplished linguist
and musician of ability. Miss Rus
sell first took up the study of music
as an aid to her work in the heavy
Shakespearean roles, which she has
been playing for number of years.
Such progress did she make that she
finally took up music as a serious
calling.

COMING BACK FROM CEMETERY

Almost every day, as the carriages
roll away from the gates of the cem-
etery, the men and the women inside
look back on their relations with the
life OF the man who has just been
laid away; and they are glad they
were good to him, appreciatiye OF
him, deserving of his commentator.
They look back on the, days of the
living and find comfort for the day OF
the dead.
J. w, Foley. the poet, has ex-
pressed fpmething OF that kind In
the following verses:
I'm glad l was always so good to her;
was just up there in the nursery
Picking up things-You know-that
were
d a Left strewn about as carelessly
As child will do when she's called
from plny;
| picked them up with a mist and
blur
In my eyes, and ! laid them all
away ~.
I'm glad l was always so good to.
And many's the picture that came to
That came to me DER Teddy bear
Or doll or whole tin infantry
Arrayed in a battle column there:
Picture on picture of girls and girls
Zone year and two years and
three) that were;
or pinafores and blue frocks and
curls-
I'm glad I was always so good to
her.
Dreams on dreams and they ride me
down,
Column and phalanx and voices
call,
And grasses grow green and come
sere and brown,
And leaves bud. blossom and blow
and fall;
She had been six now-and seven
and ten
So tall-and so tall-how fair they
were,
How fair they We're and would have
been.
Those lost ones-I'm so glad I was
good to her
1t is little child in that case; and
the tenderness of remembering how
tail She would have been is one OF
cent verse But the same principle
can be applied in the case of the boy:
IN the case of the woman grown: in
the case of the man.
And there is one OF the Joys of the
poet. How wise he is-to put into
words the sentiments that grip at the
heart of humanity: the thoughts that
hold counsel in the general heart of
the race. What Mr.. Foley has done
in this Eugene Field did in his Lit
tie Boy Blue" and Dickens did in
his "Dismissing the School," In less
er merit, VIII Carleton few years
ago did 1t in his Farm Ballads"
They spoke to an audience far wider
than that of the farmer. They ad-
dressed themselves to the great heart
OF the human race. And. il they are
denied the rank of poetry, they still
are loved because they give a tongue
to the throbs of the SOUL.
SO live that you can "be glad you
were good to her'-or him, or who
ever-as you come back from the
cemetery.-Salt Lake Herald-Repub
