PoIyqIot CHICAGO,

The introduction OF Polish as a
course in the public schools of Chi.
cago, by Superintendent Ella Flagg
Young, is an interesting experiment.
though some may regard It as rash
one. There Is tendency among chill
dren OF foreign parentage to drop
their native language, while II would
no doubt add to the general culture
of the rising generation In our large
cities If they would retain II along
with the prescribed studies. II the ex.
pertinent is successful, Mrs. Young
proposes to follow II up with other
languages. There are perhaps 10000
Poles In the city, but there are IA
tongues, each of which is spoken by
more than 10000 persons. Newspa.
pers appear in ten languages and
church services are neld In twenty.
In all there are forty different Ian.
guares Of dialects employed to express
the thoughts, needs and emotions OF
the population. Chicago IL the second
largest Bohemian city In the world,
the third Swedish, the fourth Norwe-
gian. the fifth Polish and the fifth
German. If all these are to be in
structed In their national language
and literature the city will eventually
need an Elihu Burritt or George
+. Marsh to direct its educational ac-
tivities.--Boston Transcript.

Getting Names Right.

The itst thing impressed upon a
cub reporters mind is the necessity
of getting names right, and simple
as this seems there are more OBJ
stacles than might be supposed, A
great many people know Mrs. Nor
decai Smith, but half Of them sus-
peet that the proper way to write it
Is Mordecay Smythe. How in-accu-
rate the average human is in noting
proper names is conclusively proved
by the following instance.
At present there is established in
New York at the Century Theater a
play which has probably been more
widely advertised than any other
production on record. Not alone in
the newspapers, but on billboards, in
programmes, magazines, and by
every other approved device 1.-THE
Garden of Allah" has been blazoned
forth to the public eye. And yet one
out of every ten people who write
for seats in some way misspell the
title. 1t is usually on the word cal
lah" that come cropper. The
heart of a Mohammedan would be
wrecked by this apparent un-
familiarity with the name of the
one God" 1t is usually a note in
feminine handwriting that encloses
a "check for SIS for two seats for the
Saturday matinee of The Garden of
Alice. f." Miss Viola Allen, who is
under the management of Liebler &
Co., the producers of this play, is
paid an indirect compliment quite
frequently when theater-gers want
to see 1.-THE Garden of Allen" 9th
ers have confused the name with
Lewis Waller, the London actor
manager who gets $4,000 week for
playing the leading role, and call
the piece "The Garden of Waller. +"
Frequent minor mis-spellings are
"Alloh," "Olla," "Lallah," "Ahlal,"
all going to prove that hand is
quicker than the eye.

Madame Sherry"

Not very much of the story of
Madame Sherry" is revealed in the
advance announcements. Mainly
the thread of musical and other in
cidents of this big musical success
concern a young New York unmar-
ried man-about-town, sowing his
wild oats on money sent him by an
uncle who believes his nephew mar
ried and the father of two children.
The uncle Unexpectedly pays visit
to the studio of his nephew, who,
to support his story of domesticity
is forced to gather unto himself a
family. He presse his very UNI
patrician housekeeper into service to
pass as his wife, and gets his own
sweetheart to pass as one of his chill
dren and an adult guest in his home
as his son.
It is from the comic embarrass-

Medical Director. While in Wash.

favorite, and was much sought in
the younger set CT Washington So
ciety. She took many parts in anna
teur theatricals, and upon one occa-
sion was prevailed upon to take on
short notice a part with a travelling
company which was playing in
Washington, and did the part 81
we'll, that David Belasco made her
an offer to appear in one of his New
York productions.
1t is written in the history OF
theatricals, that never
before the appearance of Miss DAN
iel, has society turned out en- mass
in the capitol city. Miss Daniel has
shown such marked ability in the
production of the Common Law
and in fact has made SO good in the
part that the Common Law" will
go to New York for an indefinite
run, starting the first of the year.

man whom we'll call Mullaney go into
an undertakers shop where there is
generally pinocle game in the back

waited.
After a time he sent In word by
one OF the men working In the shop
that he knew Mullaney was In there
and that he had better come back on
post, because the longer he waited
the worse the complaint against him
would read.
There was much eommotion In the
back room, and as there were mum.
Der of collins being loaded on a wagon
outside they put Mullaney in coffin
and loaded him on the wagon. They
drove him down the street couple

BEST ATTITUDE FOR SLEEP
French Physician Says Position Which
One Finds Most Comfortable
Is Best.

AS practically everyone is more or
less addicted TO the habit OF sleeping,
the question OF the best and most
healthful attitude during siumber Is OF
general Importance There Is an an
cient and widespread idea that to
sleep nthe left side interferes with
the heart action and Is consequently
Injurious and that to sleep on the
back develops the inclination to snore.
Modern authorities are not at all
agreed on the matter, however, one OF
the greatest heart specialists declar-
ing that 1t is quite immaterial whether
a person sleeps on the right or left
side, while another equally famous
doctor asserts emphatically that one
should always lie on the right side IL
heart trouble and indigestion Is to 10
avoided Eliminating the question Of
snoring-a habit quite possible to
break ones self of--there is little
doubt that the most restful position,
when once a person has become ac-
customed to 1t, Is flat upon the back,
using no pillow, and with the arms
above the head. This straightens
dropping shoulders and gives the lungs
fun play
However, this is a matter in which
one may do as one pleases, and have
gooG authority therefor, as a very dis.
tingulshed French physician has dis
missed the subject by saying that the
best position for sleeping is that which
3 pareon finds most comfortable.

ments growing out of this first sit
uatiCn that the fun of the piece be-
gins. Of course attendant misad-
ventures consequent upon the first
deception follow one another through
out the play. The main love inter-
est is introduced at the very outset
with the arrival Of the uncle, who
brings a relative with him in the
person Of Yyonne Sherry, young
maid just out Of a convent.
1t develops that the sweetheart OF
the young man-about-town turns
tickle and falls in love with the
guest passing as her brother, a
plight that opens the way for the
mischieveously scheming nephew
and the visiting convent girl to be-
come sweethearts, which they do
in what Is declared to be one Of the
oldest ways IN the world.
Incidentally, it is the love of the
convent girl and the nephew that
introduced into the play as love
theme the air Of the production
"Ev'ry Little Movement Has Mean
ing All It's Own" that is now fast
becoming popular number all over
