was easy to be good when not ex-
posed to temptation. But for those
born with the devil in them it came
hard. 1t was all matter of heredity
and influence. Ones vices as well as

in the Jefries family somewhere in the
unsavory past there had been a weak.
vicious ancestor from whom he had
inherited all the traits which barred
his way to success.
The crowds of hungry workers grew
bigger every minute Every one was
elbowing his way into neighboring
restaurants, crowding the tables and
buffets, all eating voraciously as they
talked and laughed. Howard was
rudely reminded by inward pangs that
he, too, was famished. Not a thing
had passed his lips since he had left
home in Harlem at eight o'clock that
morning and he had told Annie that
he would be home for lunch. There
was no use staying downtown any
longer. For three weary hours he had
trudged from office to office seeking
employment, answering advertise
ments. asking for work of any kind,
ready to do no matter what, but all to
no purpose. Nobody wanted him at
any price What was the good OF
man being willing to work If there
was no one to employ him? nice
lookout certainly. Hardly dollar
left and no prospect OF getting any
more. He hs~dly had the courage to
return home and face Annie. With
muttered exclamation of impatience
he spat from his mouth the halfcon-
sumed cigarette which was hanging
from his lip, and crossing Broadway

He had certainly made a mess of
things. yet at one time, not so long

maybe. everything would have been
different. But she died during his
freshman year, carried off suddenly
by heart failure. His father married
again, young woman 20 years his
junior, and that had started every
thing off wrong. The old home life
had gone forever. He had felt like
an intruder the first time he went
home and from that day his fathers
roof had been distasteful to him. Yes,
that was the beginning of his hard
luck He could trace all his misfor-
tunes back to that. He couldn't stand
for stepmother, a naughty. selfish,
supercilious, ambitious creature who
had little sympathy for her predeces-
sor's child, and no scruple in show
ing it.

Opera House March 17-Mary Man
nerino,

nering.
Miss Mary Mannering's striking per-
sonality dominates the play in which
she Is appearing this season, namely,
"A Mans World" in which she plays
a novelist, Frank Ware. This power
full play is really an arraignment OF
the dual codes of morality as applied
to mems and womens conduct. 1t is
not at all preachy. however, for the
author Rachel Crothers, has made
action take the place OF dialogue, and
the story is told in a natural and eff
fective manner and terminates with a
stirring climax in which the heroine,
true to her ideals, gives up the man
she loves rather than sacrifice her
principles.
The character of Frank Ware, as
portrayed by Miss Mannering, is a
sweet womanly creature, neverthe-
less self reliant, and most earnest in
her contention that one code Of
morals. and one only should suffice
for both men and women. Eventually
she finds herself in the position of
being in love with a man whose early
life has been irregular to say the
least. and when the truth becomes
known to her, she proves to be strong
enough to hold steadfast to her be-
liefs, and the man she loves is sent
away, never to return. While this
does not make for the usual happy
ending no one can deny but that the
woman is right in the stand she
takes, although she is called upon to
sacrifice her heart on the altar of
her ideals.
Miss Mannering brings to the expo
sition OF the role Of Frank

chas. II. Formar Over
Forty Years Ago

AT twenty minutes after ten
o'clock this morning, Mrs. Charles II.
Forman died at the family home, S02
Blondeau street after nearly three
months of patient suffering. Cancer
OF the stomach was the principal
cause OF the demise of this good wo-
man who had made this city her place
OF residence for many years.
Mrs. Forman had been ailing for
the past eleven weeks and had been
confined to her bod two months OF
that time. Last Tuesday she was re-
turned to her home from st. Joseph's
hospital where she spent several
weeks in an endeavor TO regain her
health.
Hattie s. Mills was born in South
ampton. England, September 9th,
1851 and had passed the fifty-ninth
year of her birth. She was brought to
this country when little more than a
year old by her parents. The family
located in st. Louis and about a year
later the deceased came to this city
to make her home where she has
since resided.
Obtaining her education in the pub
lie schools of this city, Mrs. Forman
had been associated with the inter
ests and happenings of keokuk for
many years.
On February 16, 1861, she was unit
ed in marriage TO Chas. H. Forman
and the union had ever been happy
one filled with content and bright
home life in the more than forty
years.
Although not member of any
church organization, Mrs. Forman
was kind, christian woman of home
loving instincts where duty found her
engrossed in those cares during a
long and useful life. Besides the hus-
band. Miss Mildred Forman, daugh-
ter of New York City and formerly
of keokuk, survives. Two sisters are
also living: Mrs. Agnes Doolittle of
Cleburn, Texas and Mrs. Julia Kirk
patrick Of Springfield, Mo.
Arrangements for the funeral will
be made later and announced, rela-
lives having been notified of the
passing Of Mrs Forman.
