HIGHER CRITICISM STARTS A
PEAR BOOM.

There is a suggestion of a new pear
boom in the address made at Hart
ford by the secretary Of the Connecti-
cut Horticultural Society. In the sec
retary's opinion, it was not an apple
but a pear that Adam took so inno-
Gently but unfortunately from Eve.
"The lecturer described the climate Of
the Garden of Eden as tropical" Hence
his skepticism regarding the apple
story.
But why he should substitute the
pear for the apple is beyond grasping,
except that in the campaign for hor-
ticultural improvement which the East
is enjoying the pear has been neglected
We guess something is wrong when a
modest looking and turnip tasting pear
fetches the exorbitant price of fifteen
cents in Boston today. Some of these
products of the irrigation belt are no
better than Dead Sea fruit.
We shall be surprised indeed if Del
aware and Georgia do not fly to the
front with resolutions in favor of the
toothsome peach. And will Florida,
with its orange, be content to accept
this arbitrary pronunciamento in
favor of the pearH Not unless the
boards of trades are sated with the
glory and profit of entertaining
Northern politicians and foreign auto
mobilists. The issue is wide open and
the pear will not win without sub

CAPTAINS WHO LOSE THEIR
SHIPS.

Some years ago one of che trans
Pacific steamers was lost Just as she
was entering the Golden Gate. There
was no immediate danger of loss of
life. As matter of fact, all the pas
sengers and crew were safely taken
off. But it was apparent the ship was
lost. The captain stuck to the bridge.
When the last man was over the side,
while the crew of the last boat was
shouting to him to follow, he whipped
a pistol from his pocket and fell dead
at his post.
That captain knew the old, hard and

Her opportunity to direct a company

she is at present starring has met.

Sears, who, while directing the details
of staging, employed an actress at a
not inconsiderable salary to learn the

Good World to
Live and Work In.
After what she laughingly calls years
and years" of acting, Zelda Sears Is
still as stage struck" as a girl Of fif-
teen. No disappointments, no deferred
hopes, have been sufficient to diminish
her enthusiasm. Framed by soft white
hair, a youthful face with humorous
eyes and color coming and going like
school girls looks out upon a world
which she declares is good to live and
work in.
II 20 to my work every day." she told
me, very much in the same frame OF
mind that a school girl starts out for
a party. Each performance Is going to
be the quite most wonderful pleasure
have had. The zest for the environ
ment of the theater, the stage, the foot
lights, the laughing. upturned faces, has
never failed me yet.
Don't you get weary of playing one
role over and over? ask some OF my
unprofessional friends who wonder how
any man or woman of temperament can
tolerate the ceaseless repetition OF a
part. And I always answer:
The fun of it lies In trying 1t on q
new audience each time
A Good Life,
A Great Life.
II certainly should advise any girl
know who has reasonable talent to
choose the profession Of actress. II she
has energy, and talent she will get on.
She will have the association Of great
people in her work, as she could have 1t
in no other profession. To me 1t has
been a good life-a great life.
But then. you know, quite believe
that ones faith in happiness and the
good things of life brings them to US.
So you see, at last I have my oppor-
tunity to star"
And as looked back at her just as
she was about to appear to her waiting
audience, she whispered happily:
That may not be a bad thing to re-
member, child. Ones faith will make
a star Of one. whatever work one hap
pens to love the best"

Joy to Make

I'D rather be a comedienne So long
as I live" declared Miss Sears today.
Then the fun flashed out from her hu-
morous brown eyes again. Why, don't
you think 1t is nobler thing to make
a man forget the rent is due, or that
Mary has an abscess on her tooth, than
to lead him to the brink and let him
look in the grave? Well, believe me,
that is the difference, in Just so many
words, between comedy and tragedy.

make people see the fun in the common
things of life. I'd rather give them
a hundred laughs for every tear, than
to wiring their hearts and their hand
kerchiefs."
