UP IN ARMS AGAINST CRITICS
London Theater Managers Resent
"Roasts" and Newspaper Nakes
Plain Talk.

One can easily sympathize with an
actor manager, and not less, as in
recent instance. with an actress-man-
agrees, who finds that personal csti-
mates Of the merits Of play are not
Endorsed either by the critics or by
that far more important section of the
community. the playgoing public. But
the growing practice on the part Of
those who control our theaters of
showing something like petulance, or
worse, when they find they have made
a mistake Is full Of awkward posi-
bilities. Gerald du Maurier's outburst
is the latest instance In point. Be.
cause those whom he invited to ex-
press opinions on his new venture
"The Dust of Egypt" told the truth
about 1t and failed to indulge Ia
paeans Of praise he writes a porten-
tous letter to ask what Is a critic?"
The best answer we have seen comes
from A. c. Benson: II suppose that
an expert critic is man with natu-
raj faculty of discrimination which
has been trained by experience" Ono
is disposed to believe, after witnessing
the sorry stuff so often put upon the
stage. that little more exercise Of
a faculty for discrimination trained
by experience would be to the gen.
eral advantage In the enterprise Of the
theater 1t would spare the critics
many dull hours, the managers much
loss OF money, and-where they cau-
not take their losses In sporting
spirit--of temper. while the public
opinion Of the stage and all Its works
would be immensely improved.-The
Globe, London.

Joseph z. Widener was showing a
Group of visitors his fathers incom-
parable picture gallery at LynwooI
Hall, the Widener residence OF white
marble near Philadelphia.
The talk turned to forged Raphaels,
and Mr., Widener said: .
There is an American who bought
a Raphael in Rome some years ago.
The Italian law prohibits the expor-
tation of masterpieces, and the Amer
lean had the happy idea of getting the
Raphael painted over. This was ac-
cordingly done. The rare old paint
ing reached New York In the guiss OF
q modern snow scene. ..-
Then restorer, under the watch
full owners eye, set to work on IT,.
With sponge dipped in turpentlne
he proceeded to rub the snow scene
off. He sponged 1t off readily, but he
sponged bit Of the Raphael off, too
and, behold, underneath the Rs-
phael portrait of Marconi was re-
vealed." A..

SENSE OF HONOR IN TR&MPS
Storekeeper Who Trusts "GentIemsn

Pay Debts Promptly.

In the north part Of New York there
Is q postmaster, who Is also owner Of

about the tramp that are different

which has been q rendezvous for
years.
Several years ago the storekeeper
began selling goodsto the hoboes foI
cash. He observed that the same
faces came in regularly, at intervals
of month. or more Soon the tramps
began to AJAX for credit, and the store
keeper extended II. He found that IN
variably the tramp came in and paid
his bill on his next return to the rem
devious, or If he were out on long
trip, money order would be sent for
the amount. He has dealt with the
shifting population for nearly ~
years. and declares he has never lost
a cent from bad account with one.
He does not know the names of his
customers. except as they are ac-
costed by their fellows by the road
names they bear, and most of the ac-
counts are kept in the storekeeper's

Georges county, Md, says he never
again will indulge In fox chase. He
always was fond Of the sport, but on

we were on trail, but 1t took us
some time to dig the fox from his

Both animals were killed and taken
to Forestville.

but you could not make a mother be
licve this. No pain is too great, nor
grief too keen to turn mothers
heart cold against her offspring. She
will defend her child with her honor
with her last drop of blood II
necessary and her only reward will
be the satisfaction of knowing that
she has done what she regards as
her duty, Children who make sac
rifices of this kind necessary do not
love their mothers.
If all children. regardless of age,
would love and honor their mothers
half as much as their mothers love
them, there would be no bad people,
There would be no penitentiaries,
no reform schools. no dens of evil.
A child that loves and honors its
mother will do no wrong,
Every day should be Mothers Day

an honest, upright life: by being

work OF construction and mainteu-

be undertaken by the Government,
He wrote
1T has needed by little attention
to make it perfectly obvious that

If undertaken at all, must be under
taken by the National Government
and cannot be compassed by States.
The river must be treated as n unit;
its control cannot be comprised I'M

administration.
t'Neither are the States especially
interested competent to combine
among themselves for necessary .opef-
ations. The work must begin far
up the river; at least as far as Cairo,
If not beyond. and must be conducted
upon consistent general plan
throughout the course of the river.
There have been several disas-
trous floods since 1882, resulting ia
the loss of many lives and millions
OF dollars worth OF property The
