THUS IT BEFALLS.

The stified heart-beats of the poor
 May never reach the calous ears Of worldlings who are given OCT
 To pleasures bought with others tears. And anguished sighs may never pierce The gilded trappings of the rich, While bangs of hunger render fierce
 The homeless outeast in the ditch. But, well-a-day, Why moralize
 On mans forgetfulness of man? No doubt, most of us could devise
 A far more beatific plan; And we who talk might do great things Toward making sordid lives sublime, But for that curse of slaves and kings Good people all, we haven't time.'

MATINEE TO-DAY.

In 'The Lottery Man, Rider John- son Young has seized upon a preva- lent custom of certain newspapers to increase their circulation by various schemes. Mrs. Young has made the central figure in her now famous Bijou theater successful comedy, "The Lottery Man," a newspaper reporter, Jack Wright owes his employer a sum of money and to square the &C., count he agrees to turn in one of the most sensational scoops the paper has ever known
 His idea is for the sheet to con- duct lotter with himself as the prize. The proprietor explains that lotteries are against the law. The promoter says that this point can be evaded on account of the fact that the law says "prizes shall not be given away As the prize is to be a. person who will give Il 'mself away a clear case of evasion is establish ed. The lotter is announced Thou sands of old maids-all sorts and cond tions-buy coupons at one dol lar each. Meantime Wright falls in love with a charming girl. Natur- ally he fears that he may be won by someone else and he starts a cru sade to get possession of as many tickets as his limited means will permit Even his devoted mother pawns some family trinklets in or- der that she may helD her son.
 Finally the last day is announced. The winning number is 1323 and it is held by Lizzie, an old maid, and a very old one, in the household of the newspaper owner. Lizzie refuses to give up. She has waited many years for such an opportunity. It is discovered, however, that she has stolen the ticket from the cook. With this clue the reporter threatens her with arrest. Of course the coupon is surrendered and Jack Wright gets the girl of his choice
 The bare outline of the plot gives little idea as to the genuine fun and the xA olesomeness of the comedy. Alan Dale, the critic of the Amer ican,'' declares that he laughed even after he had got to bed. The Times said, ''The Lottery Man" is the win ,ner of the season. The long run of the piece would indicate this
