The Dickens passion in Paris
reached a climax with the perfor-
nance of Monsieur Pickwick" at the
Athenee. This little theatre was
packed with notabilities at the invita-
ton first night, and, judging from the
applause which followed the fall of
the curtain, the new piece should have
a long and prosperous run.
The adaptation of Nm. Duval and
Charvay will be less likely, in the
opinion of critics, to appeal to genuine
Dickens lovers, armed with pagelong
quotations, than to the fashionable
French Anglophile who is ready to
accept whatever Is offered by the land
OF Shakespeare. But while Of neces-
sity many liberties have been taken
with the original scheme. it would be
idle to deny the ingenuity with which
the various incidents have been chos-
en- and grouped together. In an enter
tainment lasting TIRES hours it would
be utterly impossible to exepct more
than glimpse at the most important
figures in Dickens masterpiece.
The scenery, to which special study
has ben given, is unusual and ex-
tremely artistic the black outlines and
nat tones producing an astonishing
effect of realism. 1t was as if a
series Of old popular English prints
had come to life. The quaint costumes
completed this unique and very
charming effect.

The plain people, the despised

dregs and the scum of humanity. So

GOOD COOKING HIS OBITUARY.
The Distinguished Funeral of an Old
Darby at Jefferson. Mo.


When William Tile, a negro TO
years old, died at Jefferson City, Mo-,
he had distinguished funeral. The
governor, state officers, bankers, pro-
fessional men joined the long pro-
cession to the grave 1t is stated
that Titles claim to honor was his
good cooking and good nature.
Please notice the association, We
grOuchy cOOks-there's the matter
with you; why the tea kettle does
not boil, why you burn your hands,
why you burn the bread, why the
pudding is undone, why the piecrust
is sOggy, why things generally go
wrong is because you are soggy
yourself, and mad at the stove, the
dough, the tea kettle and all about
you.
This is the lesson of this little
item. The Hottest human natures
like to warm themselves in the
bright smiles of a cook, and it was
this that brought out the public and
private dignitaries to celebrate the
fame of the old darby cook, to whom
a kindly humor and an appetizine
dish were always associated togeth
err. When a cook gets mad and re
sentful shut the kitchen and live OF

IN REMEMBRANCE
OF Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ. Faust and Son,
Sam Faust.

Sam Faust.
My dear friends, this is a bright
and beautiful world, fragrant with
the odor of flowers, tuneful with the
songs of birds, respondent with the
glories of earth and sea and sky;
and yet it's attractions now are no
doubt unnoticed by you, for grim
merciless death has appeared in your
midst and snatched from your home
three of your loved ones. Your sky
is hung with black and sombre and
cloudy curtains. Your vision is over
cast with the gloom OF sorrow, and
every sound that strikes your ears
has in it cadence of despair. With
out the presence of those dear one
who have gone before the world
seems empty and cherries to YOU
and in your heart there is a dismal
aching void The only consolation
that is vOuchsafed you is the sweet
realization that your loved ones are
at rest. The ones upon whom you
lavished your affection are now in
that land where the wicked cease
from troubling, and the weary are
at rest" AS you were bending over
the open collins looking at the fold
ed hands which will never again
clasp yours in this world, gazing up
on the closed eyes in which you will
never again behold your image re-
hected on earth, your scalding tears
fall as you realize that your earth
ly companionship with your loved
ones is at an end. You are cOnsoled
by the thought that your hearts
idols have heard the words from the
Fathers lips We'll done, thou good
and faithful servants; enter thou in
to the joys of the Lord" Your con-
ISOLATION is found in the consideration
of the fact that your treasures are
in heaven. Their bodies will never
more be racked with the agonies of
pain; suffering is at an end And
it will only be a little while until
you will cross the dark river and
join father and mother and brother
among the saved on the other shore.
Oh, God! how strange and mystic
rious are thy ways to take from US
those precious jewels in the best of
their days. If | were to sum up all
| have said and write many more
pages l could not say more than
when with a prayerful heart I tell
you to look to Jesus. A FRIEND.

THE CZAR's LUXURIOUS TRAIN
His Simple Taste Is Shown by Use OF
Dining Car for His Work Room.


The new Russian imperial railway
train, in which the car and czarina
travel, is said to be the most luxuri-
Gus in the world, eclipsing even the
kaiser's elaborate train de luxe.
The cars train consists of eleven
carriages. 1t is entirely on the cor
ridor system, is fitted with electric
bells and lighted with electricity
The carriages of the emperor and
empress are in the middle of the
train.
The empress drawing room has
the walls covered with pale rose silk
and her bed chamber is hung with
light blue satin, the furniture being
covered with English cretonne of the
same color Each sleeping saloon
has a bathroom and dressing-room
The emperor's simple
tastes are shown by the fact that
he uses the dining saloon as a study,
and it is there he transacts all his
business with the help of his two
secretaries.

IN MEMORIAM.
A Tribute to the Memory of the Late
Mrs. George A. Geise.


Sorrowingly but submissively we
bow to the Providence that removed
our dear one, Mrs. G. A Geise, from
the community, the home and the
church where she seemed so necessa-
ry. She loved her church. Her
prayers, her tears, her mercy, her
years of faithful attendance upon all
its ordinances manifested her fidelity
and devotion to its interests. For
years she has endured the loneliness
of separation from her dear husband
ard has spent her time in unswerV-
ing devotion to the best interests OF
her children. her home and her
friends. AS we look back through
the years her life seems an unbroken
round of ministTation to those who
needed help in times of sickness,
sorrow and distress. To the chill
dren and grandchildren was her life
devoted For several months she
had been very feeble, and the tired
body, worn and weary with waiting,
gradually weakened, until the loving
Father, in watchful tenderness, babe
His weary child come home" Our
heart shall ever be filled with tender
memories of this gentle spirit, whose
life has gone out from us, but whose
influence will abide forever. Her
loved ones have been stricken with
an irreparable loss. May their bruis-
ed and bleeding hearts be touched
by His healing hand; may they see
the cleaning stars of precious mem
cries and glorious hopes. Death was
but the gateway to a larger and
sweeter life. She is now united with
her brother, who recently preceded
her to the better world, and other
loved ones. May the dear children
follow the reckoning hands and be
an unbroken band in Gods own
home. M. H. H.

A WHITE CARNATTON FOR
MOTHERS SAKE ON MAY IA
MOTHERS DAY OBSERVED OVER LAND THROUGH SOME
DISTINCT ACT OF KINDNESS. VISIT TRIBUTE LETTER.

When Anna Jarvis of Philadel-
phia started the movement to have
one day in the year devoted to the
honoring of mother" she little
dreamed of the scope of the move
ment. or the instantaneous success
in all parts of the country that was
coming to her plan.
Officially endorsed by every gov
ernor in the United States, by the
president and by the press through
out the land, and meeting a warm
response in the heart of every Amer
lean citizen to whom the word moth
er has a magic thrill, the movement
swept over the nation, and on the
first day for the observance OF the
memorial there were millions OF
white flowers worn in the coats OF
men from the youth to he gray-hair-
ed veteran whose mother had many
years before passed from this earth
to the land beyond.
The day approaches again when
everyone is asked to remember VINO
bore him. The day has become one
of the great days in the calendar,
and on that day millions will again
wear the white flower in memory OF
mother.
The second Sunday in May is the
day for the observance of Feast OF
Mothers" A galaxy of saints before
whom all the saints else in the cate
CORY of the faithful pale into inBig-
nificance.
Not alone the dead mother is this
feast kept for, but for her who still
lives is it especially intended. Some
especial deed of kindness to her
showing of filial love which is hid in
your heart perhaps, let it come out
into the sunlight on that day and
help gladden. and brighten her while
she lives.
In her name, where she has gone
before to another land, give happi- |
ness to some other mother, or to |
some one needing a few of the pleas
ant greetings of a cheerful heart to |
help tighten the burdens they are
bearing. Let some sacrifice be made |
in memory of her who sacrificed so
much for you, and let the day be one
of universal observance by the sons
of those mothers who gave the land
the leaders of today.
Governors have issued prOclama-
tions concerning the keeping of the
day, mayors of the cities of the land
have urged the observance of the
day.
The proclamation of Governor
Harmon of Ohio is given in full:
of Governor of Ohio.
NO element in either national or
domestic life is more important toan
the mothers of our country. Home i,
virtues are the safeguard Of our
existence. Our mothers are their
highest exemplification.
How better realize this and how
better renew the early influences Of
either a departed or living mother
than by setting apart a day for her
whose life was full Of denial and
for her sons and daugl-
tiers?
No memorial day can be richer in
personal experience than one in
which we hear again a mothers
voice, that is stilled, and feel the
touch of her vanished hand; or, if
she be living, give her the day with
your presence in loving reunion-One
day for the many she gave you; or
send her a line of greeting warmer
than you have been wont to do.
