WYE are told from childhood up
w that we must learn from our
elders.
Heaven help us If we conf1ne our les
sons in life to instructions from those
whose years are more, for we will miss

Notice the little children in their
play. One has dolls go-cart: if it
has three wheels or four makes no diff
ference to the happiness of the owner.
Another has a battered doll. another
the remnants of a china toy tea set,
and another drags a discarded starch
box, which is to be the banquet table.
They do not throw these precious be-
lodgings away and stare sourly and
enviously at child who has been ia
vored with more. The knowledge that
the child in the next yard has a new
doll that cries and winks, a real little
table and chairs, and a complete set of
dishes, makes their joy none the less.
They play like" their crippled dol,

cream pitcher their powers of magma

Given powers of imagery poet may
well envy, they behold with the eye of

A Valuable Lesson.
They play like" the kitchen aprons
! they drape around their waists are
i long velvet trains; they play like" the
crackers they serve on their broken
dishes are Ice cream and cake, and they
! play like" everything broken and old is
whole and new. and their ability to
play like" this from morning to night

could learn from the Oldest and wisest
seer.
We must learn from childhood to
cover defects with the beauties OF
ina gination.
We must learn when compelled 10

possessions but in the possession of an
optimistic Imagination.

On its first night the Lon don "booers" attended by hundreds and attempted to hoot to death the new Pinero drama, but they miserably Tailed.
 The eminent dramatist was the son of a London barrister, John Daniel Pinero. and his early education was desiRned to fit him to follow in his fathers footsteps. Parents propose, however, and children do as they please. which is one of the happiest provisions of nature. Sir Arthur would probably have made an indif- ferent solicitor. After leaving school he spent some time in his fathers of- flee and was articled as lawyer, but ell the time his mind was busted with nfnairs of the mimic world. In short, he was stage struck, and at the age of nineteen he definitely abandoned a iexal career and secured a place as genera! utility at the Theatre Royal 6n Edinburgh. His salary was one pound, or about five dollars, a week. and for this sum he spoke such inn eEr." or, His lordship has arrived, air"

pound, six shillings tuppence on which to support himself and wife. His merit soon won recognition, and short ly after reaching his twenty-first birthday he became a member of Henry Irving's company at the Iy- ceum Theatre. 'Two Hundred Pounds a Year." a one-act farce which was his first attempt as a playwright, was written when he was twenty-two, and was produced at the Globe. but did not set the theatrical world on fire. Later two other playlets were used as curtain-raisers by MT. Irving. In 1880 a real play from Pineros pen, "The Money Spinner" was staged at the St. James Theatre by John Hare and ists reputation was all but made In 1881 Sir Arthur left Irving's company to devote himself entirely to the writ ing of plays.
 Since then Sir Arthur's record has been one of almost continuous suc- cesses, and his dramas have won the praise of critics and the applause of in the United States, Canada, Aus tralia and, in fact, the whole Eng lish- speaking world. His pre-emi- hence as a playwright was recognized by royalty and he was honored by knfghthOod. Among his most notable works are 'The Gay Lord Quex," in which Sir John Hare made his great est hit; His House in Order, in which John Drew appeared in New York; "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray'' ''Trelawny of the Wells, Lords and Commons, Sweet Lavender, Dandy Dick, and Iris
 Being English, Sir Arthur is fond of outdoor sports. and golf and cricket are his favorite pastimes.
