about four years ago at George Ed

Immediately scored "a tremendous hit.
When the news Of this success reached
New York, all the American manages
who make Il practice of bringing Eng

their emissaries 10 see The Quaker

American show. one and all these
dramatic scouts reported that the
piece. while dainty and entertaining
and exceedingly tuneful, was far and
away too quiet for American audien-
ces. accustomed as they are To rag
time music, chorus girls in tights ana
general burlesque entertainment. -
in spite of the London success OF TINS
play. the American rights were not
sought until the late Henry b. Harris
who had never produced musica
show took chance and bought th'
rights. The estimated profits from tho
American rights for this production
are over $500 100000, so IL can he seer

the NJ y. g.. during the recent strike
at Calumet, may not receive compen-
sation from the state, which he has
made application for. The state in
dstrial accident bureau asked the at

case and has been informed that such
cases do not come under the WORKING
mans compensation law. If there :
any redress for Dr Roberts, 1t would
have To come under an old law, and
the fact that he was not permanently

him recovering compensation from the

Him:
The healing Of the seamless dress

I'VE touch Him in lifc's throug and

Christ is better understood today
than when lie toiied healed and SUI

lie is better known today To- the
millions than He was to that litu"

in His journeyings through Palestine.

is not a vanishing tradition, but a con-

that sets one thinking:
I'm q study OF the past II is
convenient TO have some definite
point from which to date. To
the original settlers on these
shores Noah's flood was very
real catastrophe, In which every
thing on the earth was washed

Bibles OF so years ago, one may
learn that this food occurred
2,s+s years before Christ. To our
forefathers the time that had
elapsed since the Hood was a long
period TO contemplate; but now
adsys we are oontented to look
upon the $4,000 years, moro or
less. since the last glacier left

Then He Wooed with Fire,
But How Is It with the
Modern Girl.

Probably our grandmothers
were just as anxious to get mar
ried as any girl Is now, but they
had the gumption 10 affect coy
and reluctant attitude, and be-
cause a man believed that 1t was
diff1cult TO capture the citadel Of
a maiden's affection, he wooed her
with fire, and passion, and energy
Because she appeared indiffer-
ent to his visits, he kept the path
20 her door hot with footsteps.
Because the most that he hoped
to win from her hand IN the shape
OF letter was a line or two Of
sweet, copy book, maidenly reply
TO his numerous missives. he
weighted down the mails with
burning love letters.
How Is It now? The modern
girl has left him in no doubt as 10
the state of her affections. She'll
say yes. and thank you. too
whenever he asks her. so he feels
that any old love making will do.

goes when there's nothing more

her attractions and accomplish
ments the modern girl lacks one
art In which her grandmother ex-
celled-the art OF catching hus-
band.
And the secret Of this art was
the art of allure-of tolling a man
along-in word, of making
eourtship difficult instead Of too
easy, as II is now.
The chief reason that men
show Discrimination to marry
may be largely accounted for by
the freedom OF companionship
that prevails between the sexes.
In the olden times when the only
way man could enjoy a wom-
ans society WAS by marrying her.
he was in q rush TO hustle with
her to the altar.
But when custom permits him
TO monopolize a woman's even
iags; when they may spend long
Gays together on the golf links.
when they may attend theaters
and parties together. and tea and
, dine in company unchaperoned In
restaurants, the man is In no hur-
~ TO wed. He has as much OF
the lady's society as he desires
without the necessity OF assuming
her bills Or giving her a right to
lecture him.
The long engagement is a mod
ern invention OF mans, not wom-
ans, and IL is a handicap that our
grandmothers never knew. Moth
ing that the new status OF woman
has brought her is so delightful
as piatonic friendship with man,
but we get nothing in this world
without paying for II. and the
price that women pay for com
radeship with men IS too often
spinsterhood when It was a case
Of either lover or nothing. 1t was
generally lover.
Another reason why men are
less eager about marrying now
