Bernard Shaw has written of Forbes-R Robertson, who makes his farewell appearance at the Park Theatre on Tuesday, May Is, in "The Light that Failed and Wednesday night in Passing of the Third Floor Back Forbes Robertson is the c1as- sic actor of our day. He stands completely aloof in simplicity, dignity, grace and musical speech from the world of the motor car and the Carl ton hotel. Forbes Robertson is the only actor I know who can find out the meaning of a speech from it's ca dence His art meets the dramatist's art directly, picking it up for compile ton and expression without explana- tions or limitations, even when he fol- lows up the fact by asking what the prosaic meaning of the sentence is, only to find the author as much in doubt as himself on that point. Not for a moment is he solemnIy con scious of Shakespeare's reputation, or of HamIet's momentousnessi in liter ary history; on the contrary he de- flyers us from all these boredoms instead of heaping them upon us.

Cheer Without Risk of Fire.
Nearly every 26th day Of December
we read In the morning papers the pa
thetic stories of Christmas play that

Of the Christmas tree candle. Every
city has dozens of such cases each year.
The candle flame sets fire to the tinsel
trimming. u curtain blazes up. and the
day of festivity ends in sorrow or some
member of the family is badly burned.
The little electric tree lights are dec.
oratlve and pleasing to children, and
they are safe and convenient. Tiny
lamps, fruits, roses, dogs. birds, snow
men and grotesque little figures are
all strung together on fine, silk covered
wire and may be readily connected to
any lamp socket behind the tree.
The little lamps sparkle and glow.
They are the most effective Christmas
tree ornaments ever devised, and there
is far more fun for the kiddies, because
the lamps can burn as long as they are
wanted. They do not have to be watch
ed, and the little lamps can be used
year after year. They are suitable for
any festivity and add gayety to every
gathering Of children.

gloOmily indeed. writes Mary
Il. Bryan in Uncle Remus'
Magazine. A number of the negroes
still inhabited the old quarter" but
they were too denoralized and un.
settled in mind to work
The cotton crop had been a failure,
and old debts had swallowed up the
proceeds. No boxes and barrels con-
tanning good things for Christmas had
been rolled from the steamboats, out
upon the plantation landing. as in bet
ter times. But Christmas morning
there was the old chorus, merry
Chris'mus," under the window.
The master of the house flung open
the window impatiently and called
out. There's no Christmas for you
here; you viii have to make your own
Christmas now" An old patriarch Of
the tribe stepped forward and barred
his gray herd. "Wes brought lrr
4Chris'mus 'membrance for master and
mistis. please. sab" he said. They
went in then. Each had a gift and
laid 1t on the table in silence.
One brought q dressed chicken, an.
other dozen eggs. and the patriarch
brought a baked .pOssum. A pair Of
home knit socks, bag Of hickory nuts
and basket of walnuts were among
the offerings.
When their gifts had been deposited
they started to file out. when the man
OF the house, affected almost to tears,
called them back and thanked them.
The children poured out the contents
OF their Santa Claus stockings to share
with the visitors. and the house mother
brought out a jug Of homemade wine.
There was a little Christmas cheer
after all. The hard feeling melted
away. Every heart responded to the
prayer uttered BY the negro leader
when he was departing

territory over which the Israelitcs
wandered, and Hebron, where Abra-

the place where archaeologists claim
