 Today, the Best Theatre will pre- sent Judith of Bethulia,' in four parts. According to the apocryphal story, the Children of Israel had for tified the hill passages by which any invading army from Assyria would be obliged to enter into .Judea The principal of these fortified places was Bethulia. It is related that Nebu- chadnezzer sent Holofernes, chief captain of the army, with O,oOO men to visit vengeance on all the earth. When he came to Judea, he met an unexpected defense by the Jews of Bethulia He stormed the walls but was unable to capture the ciyt. He then sat down to starve it into submission.
 At this juncture. Judith, a devout widow of great beauty and vision from the Lord, was moved to offer herself as a. deliverer of her people. She went forth and obtained an immedi- ate interview with Holofernes. With artful cunning she played on his weakness until he invited her to an elaborate entertainment in his quar- ters. When he was overcome with wine she took down his sword and cut off his head. She escaped back to Bethulia, arriving just as the in- habitants were giving up all hope and were crying aloud for the city to surrender. The men were inspired by her act and they fell upon the As syrians who were in a panic from the loss of their leader. The result was D dnfn rf ;,,,,~ T arms. Great rejoicing followed in Bethulia and Judith was raised to the highest esteem of the people.

Mastery of Music.

The mastery of music never just "came naturally" to any human being. The world has never known a more industrious worker than the 1llustri- ous Franz Schubert. Yet, if to any one in the world music "came natural ly," 1t seemed to come 50 to him. When the school principal asked his harmony teacher how young Franz Schubert was progressing. the teacher said: "He is wonder. Whenever l explain anything new to him, he ai- ways seems already to know It. He must have received his knowledge straight from heaven" Yet, in spite of such superb gifts. there was never a harder worker than he. And don't you think that we with our lesser gifts. should follow his example? If he with all his heaven sent genius could not succeed without strenuous daily labor. how can we hope to ac- complish anything worth while with. out ceaseless, patient and conscien. tious toil?-Woman's World

INDIAN HOSPITALITY.

A Brand of Their Own, Not "stinSy
 Like the White Man."
 The early experiences of the white practitioner among reservation In dians make chapter of encounters with aboriginal prejudice not wholly finished. Even his own life was not safe if the doctor ventured too near the borderland of prejudice, ano if a death occurred at the beginning of his practice he was likely to be avoided for the rest of his sojourn. Many an In. dian came for the first dose and was never seen or heard of afterward- whether death or distaste was the re- suit of his visit the doctor might never know. Or an entire bottle of cough sirup would be consumed at once, on the theory that if teaspoonful was good bottleful would be better.
 The constant hospitality practiced by Indians, and the custom of sharing the last crumb, Is phase of the food question difficult to be appreciated by whites. As long as an Indian has any subsistence. his neighbors and friends come a-visiting. to remain as long as the food holds out To be inhospitable or ''stingy like the white man" is an opprobrium which only the hardest In- dian can socially survive. This Indian virtue bars the way to an equalization of any distribution of food, and is the cause of many of those cases of "In- dians starving. Workman.

DIED FOR HIS IDOL.

Hsroism That Led to NapoIeon's Title
 of "The Little Corporal"
 It is related that Napoleon was once badly defeated at Coblentz by the Cos sacks. After the battle he was sur rounded by enemies and would have lost his life had he not been saved by the presence of mind of one of his sol diers. Corporal Spohn.
 Realizing that Napoleon's only chance for life was in getting of the battle field unrecognized. the corporal begged the emperor to change hats and horses with him. The change was made ere the smoke of battle had cleared away, and Napoleon. with his corporal's hat and mounted on a poor steed, rode away unnoticed, the Cossacks crowd ing around the corporal. Taking him prisoner. they led him in triumph to the Russian general. There the mis- take was soon discovered, and the cor poral's brave act cost him his life.
 According to the Coblentz legend, Napoleon, In remembrance of Spohn's self sacrifice, always after this pro. ferred corporal's uniform to any oth- CT and wore it so often that his men came to speak of him familiarly as "Le Petit Caporal." ."-From "The Rhine" Translated by G. 0. T. Bartley.

Like Mukden Battle.

LONDON, Oct. 7.-The heavy ar tillery continues to play leading part in the battle of the Aisne, which has now been in progress twenty-five days. With the greatest stubbornness the opposing forces continue to hammer at each other from their weltin- trenched and strongly fortified posi- tions, but up to the present without reaching any decision.
 Almost without @ Hull great shells are being hurled across the rivers, valleys and plains stretching from the River Disc in the west to the Mouse in the East, and thence southward along the whole Franco-German bor- der, while the lighter guns play on the infantry lying in the trenches awaiting an opportunity to deliver at tacks and counter-attacks. with, as the French official communication says. alternate retirement on cer- tain points and advance on others"
 The battle has stretched out furth- CT to the westward, the French left wing having made some progress in the direction of Arras. which lies to the northwest of Noyon. The latter place few days ago was the allies extreme left. A detachment has oc- cupied Peonne. which is still further north.
 A report from German headquar- ters, dated October 5, says. however. that the efforts of the French to en- circle the German right have not had any result. The French also claim to have made an advance to the northwest of Berrytu-Bac, which is about the point where the German line crosses the Aisne, continuing southeast to Brimont. which has been the center of many vigorous attacks.
 Along the rest of the line, although there have been fierce engagements in which both sides claim victory. the situation Is unchanged. The French account of the battle compares i. with that of Mukden. In the latter case the tide of battle was turned by the arrival on the Russian right of No. gi's army from Port Arthur, which it had just captured. and the Rus sian left was also enveloped when General Kuropatkin withdrew the great bulk of his army northward, leaving the rear guard to fall into tho hands of the Japanese.
