Last Dickens Lecture
Wins Speaight Ovation

Frank Speaight, the English actor
lecturer, gave the most important of
his series of Dickens character delinea-
lions In his final appearance for the sea-
son at the Belasco Theater yesterday
afternoon. "A Tale Of Two Cities" was
the title OF the performance, for 1t was
more of a performance IN a theatrical
sense than a lecture
Mr.. Speaigat combines the roles OF
lecturer. reader. and actor. He tells his
audiences about the books he selects as
the subjects Of his talks. and then en-
deavors to show what the author was
trying to express by fmpersonating as
many of the important characters as he
deems necessary. In the series OF three
recttals he has given here he has de-
lineated the most famous Dickens char
acters, and his selection for the final
appearance probably was the most i'm
portant of his repertoire.
"A Tale OF Two Cities has a wider
appeal than most of tie Dickens books
1t Is different In many respects from
anything else he wrote. The characters
of the story, therefore, gave the i'm
personator q considerably wider scope
and called for the exhibition Of consid-
erably greater versatility. Mr.. Speaight
shows all Of the characters without
makeup or other outside aids to his
work. He was given an ovation yester-
day afternoon, and It Is probable that
arrangements will be made for :lis re-
turn here with even q more extended
program next season.

ed to guess the weight of a cake Is
usually successful. A nickel a guess
is charged. and the cake goes to b
competitor who guesses the correct
weight.
A good scheme FOR the sellers is To
make a sponge cake and then ice IT.
1t looks heavier than it really is. An
other ingenious plan is to make the
cake weigh odd ounces. People usual
ly guess even pounds. This juggling
with the weight can be done by plac-
ing 1t on a pair of scales while you Ice
1t and adding a little extra icing to
make 1t. say, four pounds two and
three-quarter ounce or something like
that. People guess and guess and
guess again, and the nickels, or even
pennies, mount up wonderfully.
Guessing competitions are almost al
ways successful. There are always
people who like to guess the number
Of currants in a currant cake. the
number of dried peas in a bottle, the
number Of pins stuck in a pincushion
or the number of pages in a book. IL
you try the book test choose a book
printed on thin india paper. 1t will
deceive everybody.
A penny or nickel should be charged
for each guess and a time limit of
half a minute fixed. so that the guess
er has no chance to count the objects
one by one. A prize could be awarded
for a correct guess-the cake. pincush-
ion or book or a coupon emitting the
winner to goods at a stall.
Have a number of buns made. each
having inside a slip of paper with a
number on it. Copy one of the mum
bers on a slip of paper and seal it up
in an envelope to be kept at the STALL
Call them lucky buns and sell them
at a nickel apiece. When all have
been sold call in the slips of paper.
open the envelope and announce the
lucky number. Award a small prize to
whoever has a slip bearing the number.
One of the best schemes for making
money for a bazaar is to start some
little time before the date nf the func-
ton a bag competition" Every 0ne
who enters makes a little fancy bag
Of odd bits of material. not under any
circumstances to cost more than a
quarter. At the bazaar these bags are
hung in a line upon a string and visi-
tors are invited to put either a penny
or a nickel in the bag they like best.
At the N of the evening the bags
are opened. and the owner of the n

clear the atmosphere or a frank avowal that he would meet
the issue would be more calculated to bring a better under
standing about men who do their whole duty seldom fear to
meet their employers, but everybody is not possessed of such
a fine sense of hongr and are more willing to hold on until
they are kicked out than others. 1t takes all kind of people
tc make the world go round, we all can't see alike but its
clever when you have an open mind and can gather and CLEAN
the best out of every mind you come in contact with.
Some people have the faculty of getting the best out of
everything. just like the honey bee, are we getting the best
out of municipal affairs, are we getting a high grade of efhc
iency from our employees? Or are the functions of govern
ment being prostituted to gather together a machine for our
undoing? are questions we are called on to answer.
A wise economical government invites the stranger
within our borders; extravaganza and wilful waste not only
keeps them away but drives out those already here; its a
problem to solve, it will take the best minds in the city to
solve it, the solution of it is not wrapped up in the breast of
any one, it will take the best of many minds, ii will require
discussion, and the view point of the other fellow.
The narrow egotist who thinks and speaks in numbers
has no place in the councils of men who deal with problems
that effect the common good.
Wealth does not always give vision, some of the great
and will continue to come from hidden, obscure and often
mean sources.
Don't despise the man on account of his clothing; its
the attitude of his mind that you want to get, men may be
big or little as to stature, may be white or black as to color,
may live in a mansion or a hut, but the fellow in the hut,
his mind may radiate the greater truth; nature has; such a
peculiar way of using some times the lowliest, in order to
bring to mankind what's stored up in the womb of the flu
ture.
Don't always look at his outer garb, he may not be
.comely, forget that he is not perfect, but get the atti-
.tude Of his mind, and when you do, grab him, that's the

SOME HINTS FOR
BAZAAR CIvERS
Many Ingenious Devices For Max
ing These Entertainments Both
Profitable and Successful.

people to spend money ut IA
~ bazaar is to offer them some
thing good to eat. For this
reason the oyster supper or church din
e is a popular though Il time honored
institution. Cake sales and candy sales
have also a desirable vogue.
If you are planning a bazaar devise
little gifts that will be %seasonable.
Birthdays are always with US. and Val
entine's day. Washington and Lincoln's
birthdays and Easter come on apace.
A bazaar plan that will be found
successful is to have a sample booth.
This stand is simply a large table with
the attendants dressed daintily as
cooks. They may wear white gowns
or big white aprons. cuffs and white
caps. Samples of dainty homemade
cakes, jel.ies. jams, preserves. candy.
etc.. may be set out. The samples
should be miniature cakes, boxes of
candy and tiny jars. These should be
sold for very small sums, and not only
the price. but the novelty of the idea
will appeal to the public. 1t should
be announced that orders for larger
quantities of the stock will be taken.
The small jars in which library paste
is sold may be washed and saved for
the preserves. and the Jeilies may be
put up In dolls glasses.
Anything in which there is IN ele-
ment Of chance appeals to the patron
Of the bazaar. A novel device is to
have a large teetotum. one of those
devices which has a large hand which
may be whirled around and allowed to
stop where it chooses. A lot of at
tractive articles should be placed on
the booth. and when any asks tbs
price of one the teetotum is allowed
to decide this. He or she is told tC
whirl the hand about and pay as many
dimes or quarters or dollars as is in
dicated by the figure at which it stops.
To make this profitable the articles
on the stall should average in value
the middle figure on the teetotum.
Many persons who win not buy in the
ordinary way cannot resist this unique
method.
Another device in which chance Is
an element is the catch-as-catch-can
booth. Only light, ~unbreakable arti-
cles can be sold here, and it is advisa-
BILE to have as the sales person the
star pitcher of the local baseball club,
who has at his command novel twists
which will defeat the objects of ex-
perts in catching. The idea is that
each purchaser shall stand ten or
twelve feet away from the booth and
try to catch the article he or she
wishes to buy. If the purchaser is sue
cessful only half of the marked price
of the article is collected for 1t.
The cake booth is always popular,
but it will go with a little extra swing
If some funny competition is started.
