Glen Echo.

With the annual Mardi Gras and Con-
fettI Carnival starting with the Labor
Day celebration tomorrow, Glen Echo
Park enters the final week of the sea-
son of 1912, the most successful in the
history of the resort.
This week has been designated as
"Good-by Week. and the management
proposes to make the closing event more
suspicious than was the opening.
Beginning with the $500 fireworks dis
play tomorrow night special events
have been arranged for every night, and
new records for attendance are expect
ed to be hung up. Extra illumination
has been provided for and colored lights
are scattered among the myriad of in
candescents, making the park even more
attractive than usual. Every night the
confetti will fly, and the carnival spirit
will pervade the thousands of visitors
In addition to the special events that
are billed for the week, all of the amuse-
ment devices will be running. and the

proverbial dollar. with most of the
claims that are essential to the producing
Of hearty. spontaneous laughter and
frivolity, The Rose Buds will hold
the boards of the Lyceum Theater this
week.
The farce to be presented is called "A
Circus Day." 1t has a plot. although not
a very strong one, which serves its
purpose of holding the story together
and gives the performers a rhyme and
reason for their entrances and exits. The
story, what little there is, deals with
circus lfe, principally that portion that
goes on behind the scenes. which is
usually more interesting to the ordinary
layman than the performers in the ring.
All the claims of the three-ring circus
are put forth by the management, the
animals, the freaks, and the fakes, from
the CRATER to the dispenser, of red
lemonade.
Several prime favorites in the burlesque
field are members of this clever organiza-
ton, prominent among them are Joe
Adams, Helen Van Buren,, Gruet and
Gruet. Laura Houston. Clayton Frye,
Mabel Hazelton, the Livingston family,
Armada the dancing vioiinist. Pat C.
Maher, and others. There are a number
of other people in the list of principals
and twenty-five charming young women

pleasing in the extreme.

1t offers Edward Abeles, the forcer star
of "Brewster's Millions in waiting at
the Church." written for him by Mr.. Col
lier and Edgar Selwyn, the author of
THE Arab" The comedy is said to pro-
coed alcng irresistibly laughable lines,

accessories, and details not surpassed by
any current hit on Broadway. Supporting
him are Charlotte Lander, Elizabeth Good
all, Thomas C. Hamilton, and John B.
Adam, acknowledged players of metro
politan rank. James NJ. Allison directs

re-enter vaudeville here, is said to be

The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-02-02

If there IS anything that is irritating
it is the way that some people talk Of
their troubles. as If they were a kind
of treat-not cheerfully but with
kind of gloomy joy; in a word, they
are resigned, 1t iG only mighty big
humbugS that will say they are thank
full for troubles. We may eventually
best for us, but at the time it is sheer
hypocrisy to waEglc our heads solemn
ly and say. Happiness is snare any
how; it is foolish for any one to eX-
pect happiness in this grizzly old
world
People who talk that way don't de-
serve happiness. We weren't put here
to be miserable. The idea that life is
for suffering and not enjoyment is fast
being shelved. II the Lord approves
of lamentation and tears he would not
have put so much in the world to make
us hopeful and happy.
There is nothing more common than
trouble We all have our troubles, but
1t is the wise ones of earth that keep
their burdens in the background. 1t
is so common and cheap and selfish to
be continually parading ones griefs
and disappsintments. Whatever our
lot, we should all learn the wisdom of
that helpful little prayer, Help me to
win, if win | may, but II l may not
win make me good loser"

Queen Olga of Greece has a confes
sion album. II contains the names of
most of the crowned heads OF Europe
who have been induced to answer more
or less personal questions propounded
by the queen. Edward VII. of Eng
land has written after the question.
"What is the most Objectionable man
you know?" the answer. "The man
who points an umbrella at you and

"lf hen and a half lay an egg

That question was not answered
at the regular monthly meeting of

try association which was convened
Wednesday evening in the basement
Of the Allen House, President L. +.

ed at the special request of the

lets hatched early enough; get them
all they want to eat; and make them
scratch for 1t, and you're all right"
