Ancient Stage to Be Used.

A more than usually interesting dra-
matte revival is announced for April
16, when the "Agamemnon" of Aes-
chylus will be performed in the an
Gent Greek theater of Syracuse.
Nearly "a centuries have passed
since Hero embellished his city with
the theater which tradition attributes
to the architect Democopor Myrilla.
Aeschylus must have taken refuge
in the court of Hero very soon after
it's completion, and it may be conJec-
tured that the great trilogy, which be-
gan with the "Agamemnon," was
often performed on its stage; It is
known that the "Persae" was per-
formed there and work written for
Hero by Aeschylus. entitled the ct
neae," of which no trace remains

Broadway was as proud OF Wallace
as he had been of himself what DO

startled Pembroke. :,
Pembroke smiled. He had well

Lromptly. Il know what you spend
better than you do yourself, And my
name is not Mr.. Wilson, and I'm not
Mr.. Jones secretary" He pulled
card out of his pocket Here's my
name and here's my business.
Pembroke took the card, looked at
il. and was really affected. AS far as
he was capable of showing real uneasi-
ness he showed it then.
you mean the Empire Advertising
company is behind this business!
The Empire Advertising company II
must be remembered. was the largest
in the world.
Wallace had not thought OF that. he
had not meant to say the Empire was
actually behind Jones Pepsin gum.
But now that Pembroke had suggesteu
it. it seemed to him to be a good ldea'
and. without taking into consideration
the important fact that his father, not
himself, was president of the Empire
Advertising company. he took the
plunge.
That's Just what mean, and we're
going to do five times as much adVer-
| Using as you ever did. and at one
| tenth the cost"
"Then my people do no more bust
ness with the Empire"
"All right" Wallace positively
sneered, then let's see how much out
door advertising you get this side OF
the Rocky mountains"
Pembroke rose. He was not happy
Int he did his level best to hide his
worry.
VERY well, I'll take the 11:4O back

then. to Broadway, and spoke omln-

Jackson looked at him with mourn
full eyes, recollecting all the bills ne
had left behind in New York CITY

after this. They owe you great

Jackson passed the compliment, but
WINGED. please don't talk about debts!
Let's get on a cheerful subject" With
a sickly effort to relieve his mind he
turned to Wallace. 'How's the bar
ber?"
The Judge seized this opportunity
to extol local genius. Amt he q

Yes" said Wallace dryly, he cut
Taft's hair once"
81 shouldn't be surprise" the judge
assented heartily. Hes from Hart

His remarkable appreciation OF the
dignity and glories Of the little cities
was a continual joy to the two friends
who smiled across his nodding head az
one another.
Wallace looked around appreciative
" "The old gentleman had pretty
nice offices here
YES" the judge agreed. He nod
ded toward the desk at which Broad
wav had carelessly taken his position
"Seems strange not to see him sit
ting at that desk" He sighed. First
old Oscar Jones sat there, and he
died: then John sat there, and he died
then Andrew sat there. and he died
now"
Broadway, who had listened to tbs
brief but tragical recital with expand
ing orbs, got up, and as he edged
away from the too fatal piece OF Office
furniture, eyed it with suspicion ant
distaste. That's the last time I'll 81

But Judge Spotswood had not seei

PERSON ALIT[ES.

Keep clear of personalities in gener-
al conversation. Talk of things, OBJ
iects, thoughts. The smallest minds
occupy themselves with personalities.
Personalities must sometimes be talk
ed, because we have to learn and find
out mems characteristics for legitimate
objects: but it is to be with confidential
persons. Do not needlessly report i'll
of others. There are family boards
where constant process of depreciat-
ing, Ass igning motives, and cutting up
of character goes forward. They are
no pleasant places. One who is heal
thy does not wish to dine at a dSsecting
table. There is evil enough in man,
God knows: but it is not the mission of
every young nan or woman to detail
and report Of it. Keep the atmosphere
as pure as possible, and fragrant with
gentleness and charity.
