Get busy early!

A fan in the, Treasury Department has
picked, the following team which he
thinks is the best nine In the American
League: Collins, second base; Chase.
first base; Cobb. left field; Lajoie. right
field; Speaker, center field; Lord, third
base; Knight. shortstop; Sweeney,
catcher; Johnson, pitcher extra catch
ers, Carrigan and Thomas; pitchers
Walsh, Coombs Bender, and Ford; sub
stitutes. Milan. outf1eId. and Baker, in
field.
Pretty good selection at that, although
there may be some who believe that
Sweeney is not the best backstop in
the league. However, that's a matter
of opinion.

Faithful Where We Are

The thought comes TO me so often;
Why is IL that we sometimes seem TO
get so little satisfaction ont Of life as
the days 90 by? We have the habit
of looking too far ahead into the
future, striving for something that. is
Just beyond our reach and overlooking
the many opportunities lying all
around.
have always had great desire to
be of service 10 my fellOwmen, but
have never had the health to do the
things which seemed 10 be most worth
while. Lately, have begun to real
ize that what the world needs as
much as any one thing is thisI A
class of people who are willing to oc
cupy humble positions in life and
there look around them with loving,
willing spirits, doing their best TO be
| helpful TO others.
No service, however humble, IL rem
dered in the right spirits ever
refused by the Great Father. He
understands our hearts and always
sees our motive. To be OF practical
service we do not need TO go out into
the world and battle with the forces
of evil. God Is preparing workers for
those fields of labor and we weaker
ones may accomplish much for the
good OF humanity by being faithful
where we are. God never expects us
TO do things which are beyond our
liabilities.
| have found in manv places that
there is a sad lack Of even such triv-
ial things as smiles, kind words and
plain, Old fashioned sympathy. Often
when some one is sadly in need of
just these things we give them criti-
cism and advice instead. l know
from experience that they make poor
substitutes.
The International Sunshine society,
which has its headquarters in New
York City, has "One Kindness
clue" whose mem oers pay their dues
by doing one kindness TO somebody
once each month. | think that we
eau improve even on that good rule,
for it seems to me that every day
brings some opportunity for doing u
kindness. While it may appear in
significant TO us, we cannot tell how
far-reaching It's results NAV be. If we
would each put this rule into practice,
what d tferent world we would soon
be living in. kememher. 1T is the
little things you think; the little
words you speak; the little tempta.
lions which you yield TO or overcome;
the little things of every day which
are making or marriug your future
life,"
| am determined to try always to be
| faithful in little things. Perhaps
these will some day pave the way to
greater ones.
Our own homes are the best places
to begin To PRACTICE in. THE light
shines the farthest, shines the bright
est near at home"

Always a River to Cross

There is always river to cross;
Always an effort TO make
If there's anything good to win,
Any rich prize TO take.
Yonder's the fruit we crave,
Yonder the charming scenes
But deep and wide, with troubled tide,
Is the river that lies between.
For the treasures Of precious worth
We must patiently dig and dive;
For the places we long to fiji
We must push and struggle and
strive.
And always and everywhere
Well find. on our Onward course,
Thorns for the feet and trials TO meet
And di fiicult river to cross.
For the rougher the way that we take,
The stouter the heart aud the nerve;
The stones in our path we break,
Nor cen from our impulsive swerve.
For the glory we hope TO win
Our lahors we count no loss:
IT'S folly 10 pause aud murmur be-
cause
OF the river we have to cross
So, ready to do and to dare,
Should we in our places stand,
Fulfilling the Masters will,
Fulfilling the souls demand;
For tho as the mountain high
The pillows may war and toss,
They'll not overwhelm If the Lord S at
the helm
When the difficult river we cross.

"Pathe's Weekly" to Be Seen ut
Chase'r.

Chases will take another important
stride ahead next week, so Manager De
Witt states. Negotiations covering a
considerable length of time and involv-
ing a trip to Europe have been con-
summated with the firm of Pathe Freres,
of Paris. one of the most widely known
and most enterprising producers of mo-
ton picture films, by which Chase's will
be enabled, through the firms American
agency, to present every week, beginning
September 4, a new series of subjects
1t is called in the trade 'Pathe's Week
1y,' and 1t is said to represent the most
advanced position yet taken by motion
picture creators. 1t is in brief a weekly
panorama illustrating current events at
home and abroad.
These weekly presentations will enable
the vaudeville public to see what they
read of in the news columns of the daily
papers, and 1t will give them a clearer
conception of the meaning of passing
events. Chase's has the exclusive privi-
lege of their exhibition in Washington,
and they are expected to contribute
much more than the usual comedy pic
lures to the pleasure and profit of polite
vaudeville patrons. Shown by the
''photoplane," which gives the wonderful
daylight method of presentation, the new
series could not be seen to better advan-
tage.

AT THE CASINO.
audeviIIe.

The Casino means business under its
new management. After the unpre-
cedentedly busy start it has made, 1t
must be clear to Washington that some
thing more than an average popular
priced entertainment may be expected
there this season. 1t has been elevated
to the big time" atmosphere with a
suddenness that has sent every theater-
goer its way in the first two weeks.
As big as last weeks colossal bill Is,
with Mr.. Conroy and Miss Morecroft,
the high divers, next weeks combina-
ton of vaudeville features Is going to
go 1t some better" There may be
mentioned Texico, the European impor-
tation, who will present a dancing act
positively without parallel in the his
tory of local vaudeville. The opening
number will be Carmen's dance. La
Espanol" and the second and principal
one will be ''Lysia's Dance to the Ser
pent.'
The Harmony Quintet is a big offer
ing for a theater charging only 10 and
20 cents kresko and Fox need no
introduction in this city. When the ex-
preston "Prattling Pals is applied,
everybody will recall their identity.
Thomas Potter Dunno. the Beau Brum-
mel of vaudeville, will be a hit. Then
there will be Zallande with his comedy
clay models. New photo plays, first
run at the Casino always, will be seen
in the largest pictures projected in
Washington. To-nights concert at the
Casino will contain half a dozen brand
new features.

agement grasped the opportunity of Sc
curing one of the biggest and best laugh
ing comedy acts in this country, THE
Laughing Horse
This act comes from England, and in
a revised form has been one of the big
novelties of the vaudeville world. The
opportunity of presenting this feature act
to Washington comes only through the
early closing of a big metropolitan sum-
mer park.
The company is composed of five peo-
pie, four of whom were members of the
original cast. The act is built for
laughing purposes only; merry and in
fectious humor runs rlotously through the
entire dialogue and action of the piece.
The New York and Philadelphia dailies
have been highly commendatory of the
act, characterizing 1t as The laughing
hit of the season."
A strong supporting bill has been ar
ranged, headed by King and Arnold, in
their tabloid musical comedy, THE Man
icure Maid" which is a light, frothy
singing and dancing turn, full of orig
inalities. Dixie" Christy, the girl from
Georgia, will present her exceptional mu-
sical act, featuring old Southern melo-
dies on harp and violin, with a quaint,
characteristic portrayal from the land
of cotton" The Shrier boys, Don and
Quincy, eight and nine years old, will
give a spirited four-round boxing contest

AT CHASE'S.
Polite Vaudeville.

Another manifestly irresistible bill of
international stars and novelties, with
melody and mirth dominating, will dis
tinguish the second week Of the polite
vaudeville season at Chases. and those
fun lovers who have not already provided
themselves with seats are counseled by
he management to secure their locations
for Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday as
the advance demand is always heaviest
for the latter part of the week.
The most noticeable feature about the
forthcoming programme is the fact that
every attraction is absolutely new and
represents the very latest London, Paris
and New York hits in the respective
lines.
The demand at this period of the sea-
son is largely for brilliant visual and
tunef"lly mirthful offerings, and Manager
De Witt, with customary forethought and
enterprise, has provided a programme
which should more than meet public ex-
pectation, especially as the pre-eminent
novelty will be the famous French
beauty, Mile. Simone D'Beryl, "Star of
Midnight and Queen of Light" in the
latest Partisan sensation, a series of su-
premtly artistic reproductions ot the
masterpieces of ancient and modern
painters.
These "tableaux sole" as they may be
described, are wonderfully enhanced by
light effects Of bewildering beauty. The
extra added attraction will be Billy
Montgomery and Florence Moore heralded
as the best comedy duo in America, who
will present their new musical arrange
ment of catchy songs, fantastic dances,
and laughable diversions. An especially
engaged number will be that of Middle
ton, Spcllmyer and company, including
Wounded Buffalo, the only full l-blooded
Indian actor in vaudeville, in "A Texas
Wooing," a Lone Star State dramatic
sketch with which they made an ex-
ceptional hit in London during the coro-
nation.
Bert Fitzgibbon, the "Daffy Dill'' COM
edian, will give his funny eccentric songs
and stories Arnold and Ethel Grazer are
an anticipated success in their musical
and terpsichorean novelty. Rice, Sully
and Scott, with a comedy trampolin
farcicality. are among the humorous
events. Belle Hathaway's Simian Play
mates will add their jungle antics and

splendid comedy subject, THE Strategy

and in many instances descriptive lines
of the poem supplement the pictures on
the screen, as noted lecturer co-operates

AT THE COLUMBIA.
GA Bachelors Honeymoon"


AS the date for the closing, Of the
phenomenal season of the Columbia
Players approaches, interest in this re-
markable organization seems to become
greater and greater. With only one
week after the present one remaining,
before the company is transferred to
Albaugh's 'Lyceum Theater in Baltimore.
the sale for the current offering of "A
Bachelors Honeymoon" has reached
the high-water mark.
"A Bachelors Honeymoon" is re-
garded by many as one Of the best
farces the country has seen for many
years. 1t was one Of the biggest sue
cesses of that home of successes, Hoyt's
Theater, New York, where 1t attained an
unprecedentedly long run.
The play is described as a farce in
three acts from the pen OF John Staple
ton. 1t is possessed of a sparkle of
dialogue and briskness of action that
coupled with the well-known cleverness
of the interpreting company, will more
than insure an amusing evenings enter
tainment. The bachelor in the play is
not a bachelor at all, but a widower,
who has Just become the husband of an
actress He lives with a maiden sister
by his deceased father. The will cover
ing the beQuest provides that the income
shall cease if he marries without the
consent of his sister, and complications
arise out of the efforts that are made to
win her approval.
The laughter starts at the very rise
of the curtin and continues uninter-
ruptedly throughout the three acts. The
first act sets the rapid pace for the
second which brings the audience up to
a crisis that is usually attained In
such farces only when the clearing up
of complications is about to begin. The
difficulties continue throughout the three
acts. and are not solved satisfactorily
until within few seconds of the drop

to the stage as Juno Joyce.
In the original production these parts

most amusing roles ever created by that
master of Characterization. w. J. Fergu-

ellie Melville reappears in the cast this
week as the maiden sister, Aurora,
while Nina Melville and Jessie Glendin-

been cast for the part of Barbara.
