freckles was written by a prominent
physician and Is usually so successful
in removing freckles and giving a
clear, beautiful complexion that it is
sold by G. R. Fogg under guarantee
to refund the money IL 1t fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few ap-
plications should show a wonderful
improvement, some of the lighter
freckles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; 1t Is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee. 3

the sensitiveness of the Irish is duo
 to their humility. They have not
 such good opinion of themselves as the Englishman, who assumes that when he is travestied on the stage it could not possibly be serious. Anyone who charicatured him seriously he would look on as fool and beneath contempt.
 If this is true, then Irishmen should proceed forthwith to enlarge their ego. They seem to be the only people with the single exception of the Jews who take caricature of themselves seriously. The very fact that the stage Irishrnan wears such flaming hair shows an intentional exaggeration. Nobody believes that all Irishmen have violent red hair any more than they believe the average Irishman to be anything like his stage prototype. Whats become of the Irish sense of numor, anyhow? It is really case of much ado about nothing.

.LIFnRv AND ~rRusTYy

From the Louisville Courier-J Journal
 Bert Wings return to the penitentiary will recall a noted case of murder. which took place in Louisville more than 20 years ago, while 1t casts flash light on the system of prison management under which he escaped from prison.
 Ills escape was easy. and although he made use of his freedom to continue in career of crime, he was never heard of again by the state authorities until he blundered into the arms of the Gin cinnati police.
 Wings murder of his wife was cold blooded. and should have landed him on the gallows instead of in the-penitentiary But whatever may have been the opinion as to the degree of his guilt. he was serving life sentence when, in 1908, he walked out of prison and was heard of no more. Notwithstanding his life sen tence. he had been made .trusty." and according to his story had charge of the keys when he elected to take his de- parture.
 That was six years ago. when the prison management was openely the puppet of politics and when its shortcomings. how ever fragrant, surprised nobody. Since then we have had some improvement. But how much? Are "lifers still rasds trusttes and keepers of the ksyo5

 A charge of "beaning the players" at the Lyric theatre during the matinee led to the arrest of O. l..

Pruiett is ac- cused of placing No. birdshot be- tween his teeth and throwing them with a toothpick. beanshooter fashion, at the players on the stage His aim, the chorus girls admit. was excellent.
 This method of throwing shot is said to be a favorite amusement in baseball training camps. The stinging projec- tiles, however, had an unusual effect on the lightly clad chorus girls.
 Some of the pretty victims declared that they had pot exactly been 'beaned," in the baseball acceptance of the term, for to be "beaned" is to be struck on the head with thrown ball. Really, the girls explained they would have been better off if 1t had been so, for their hair might have af- forded some protection against the hurtling missiles.

The Stage Irishman'

The Rev. J. o. Hannay, who is wide ly known as novelist and playwright under the pseudonym of George A. Birmingham" has been lecturing re- gently on the Stage Irishman." Be- ing an Irishman himself, and a very clever one, MT. Hannay declares that his countrymen are caricatured by second rate writers, statement which should give pause to ambitious play wrights and writers of books who have formed good opinion of themselves. Mr. Hannay says he has lived long time in the west of Ireland but has never had an Irishman wish him the top of the morning or more power to his elbow. No one has ever called him a "broth of bhoy," even though he is conceded to be popular.
 Another interesting pefutation made by MT. Hannay is that Irishmen do not drink with "careless bonhomie," with . laughing eye and jest on their lips, but with certain shame faced delib- eration," and on those rare occasions when drunken Irishman opens his mouth he discusses either politics or religion. He acknowledges that Irish men sometimes borrow money, but not with "the genial air of conferring a favor"
 It has always seemed rather puz- z!ing to .theatregoers that Irish peo- pie should think it worth while to pro- test against what is known as the "stage Irishman," when all other races, with the exception of the Jews perhaps, seem to take vast delight in seeing their peculiarities exagger- ated on the stage. Mir. Hannay says

cHINA's CONSTITUTION

l From the New York Times.
 | So enormous Is the power intrusted
 to the President of the Chinese republic by the constitution just promulgated
 that from our point of view he will be
 less like President than military dictator or head of an unlimited mon-
 archy, and the government will be re- publican in name alone, even the form being absent
 While explicit authority to promul- gate laws at his discretion is not given to the President by this remarkable document, his veto in all cases is ab solute, except for the single provision that he must have with him three fourths of his administrative council. This, in connection with his right to propose such legislation as he chooses, will In effect make him, if a strong man, seemingly complete master of the legislative bodies, and those bodies the mere recorders of his will. Should they prove recalcitrant he can dissolve the
 Pariment or Congress and have more docile one elected.
 Very obviously, this is not a constitu- tion to suit us or any people with long training under institutions more or less free. Before condemning, however, the production of the Chinese constitution builders it would be well to remember that the wide departure from our ideas of republican government may be. not the establishment of a new despotism in essence indistinguishabl from it's predecessor, but wise recognition of the real and great differences between the political efficiency of Chinas mill lions and of our own. One need not go that constitutions modelled on that of the United States do not produce the results we, get from ours for peoples unlike ourselves, and therefore are not necessarily best for everybody.
 The Chinese President, for all his power, will not be another Emperor, sequested in semi-divinity and issuing from a sacred city commands inspired by concubines and eunuchs. He will be a man of his time, as well as of his place, unenslaved by ancient precedent or custom, but with restraints and re- responsibilities hitherto unknown to the rulers of China. It can safely be as- sumed that the Chinese. who are not a dull people, know a good deal about their own country, it's needs and its possibilities. and probably their great Iexperiment begins with more of prom ise than it would have done had they tried to initiate the western democ- racies more closely in the formulation of their organic law.
