Why Hold Back?
Who is it does not when he feels
Himself was meant for better

Who is it does not when he feels
Himself was meant for better
things
In all his better nature yield
Unto his souls deep whisperings?
His soul aspires, but human-like
He wishes that conditions were
More favored and his will holds back.
Almost, but not a conqueror.
Almost, and these conditions are
What he would wish of other men.
He waits, they wait, each with desire,
Each that the other would not sin.
And so you might keep on waiting
If somebody didn't give you a push
Why not count three and all make off
-. Now, there you are with your
eyes on the other fellow again. Wake
up!
There is rainbow of promise
across every cloud of our life. But
some of US are still so childish as
to see only the promise with it's ever
shifting pot of gold. 1t is only when
we out-grow such fallacies that we
turn and recognize the real source of
our blessings.
The question of ones happiness
should be placed first by all means,
but be sure that you accept only that
which is genuine. Genuine happi-
ness comes only with genuine love,
and he does not love who makes no
sacrifice.

Much Owed to Pratt.

Charles Pratt, the Standard Oil
millionaire who died ten or fifteen
years ago, probably did more than any
one else to make popular this splen-
did region in northern Nassau county
Some twenty-five or thirty years ago
he bought large estate at Glen Cove
and spent a great deal Of time and
money in beautifying and adding to
it. He was the first really large buy
er of land in this region. Later some
other rich men, appreciative of the
delights of country life, on Long
Island, bought other hundreds of
acres. Year after year the colony of
congenial people Of wealth increased,
but it received it's greatest impetus
and has had it's largest growth since
the motor car became practicable as
a means of sure and swift locomo-
ton. Indeed, the automobile is the
principal thing that has, made this
placed it within easy reach of similar
communities in other parts of the
island. The Pratt estate is still one
of the show places of that part of
Long Island. The six sons of Charles
Pratt have built six magnificent coun-
try houses on the great property
that their father bought and have
still further developed its beauties.
Among the finest places in this re-
gion are Henry Davison's, at Peacock
Point Glen Cove: Howard GouId's
Harvey Ladew's, H. Bramhall Gil

The Confederate army under Lee
was in full retreat from Maryland,
having been stopped effectually at
Antietam. For nearly two days the
armies had lain watching each other,
Mcclellan too timid to move, and Lee

Lee began slowly to withdraw.
General Mcclellan, from his head
quarters near Antietam, sent the fol-
lowing reports to the war department
at Washington: $500 "But little oc-

Last night the enemy abandoned his

TIE EIRST NIGHT PEZZLE.

Until n few years ago the first per
Torrance Of a new play I'm first class
theatre in Few York was an event.
Now frs, night is merely an incident.
With the multiplicity Of theatres there
has come a multiplicity of first perform
ances on a single night, bringing with
them increasing difficulties of choice on
the part of public and critics alike.
Last week three leading theatres gave
first performances on the same evening.
For next Monday night at least five first
performances are announced, including
the opening Of new theatre. IL mana
gers are Indifferent 10 one another's
claims on a date. they might at least be
little sensitive TO the convenience OF
the public OF course. II is not expected
that they will Systematically consider
the convenience of the critics who have
not yet discovered how to be In five. or
even in two places at the same instant.
If the managers cannot settle these lit
tie differences for themselves, n clear
ing house might he established by, or
for. them, distributing first night dates
among the numerous playhouses, and
thus bringing about a solution of what
has become vexatious theatrical puz-
zle. The theatres themselves suffer most
of all, for no new performance can now
get adequate attention from a distracted
public. The diffusion OF the theatre
goers' interest IL harmful TO all.
Three years ago there were twenty
four theatres Of the class alluded to.
This week there are thirty. Next week
there will be thirty-one. Next season
there will he thirty-eight. The count
does not include the leading stock,
variety or one-week theatres, or 1t would
bring the total to thirty-nine for three
seasons ago, forty-seven for the present
season and flfty-seven for next season.
Considering, however, only the produc
ing theatres, 1t Is clear that something
is necessary to change the present
plague Of first performances into the
reasonable enjoyment Of a premier
