The stage Manager. Problem.

There are some problems for the stage
manager In "Andrucles and the Lion"
since u Is really the animal which is the
dominating novelty OF the play. Its three
acts. with -four scenes, pass IN a forest In
= square In Rome and behind the En-
reror's box IN the Coliseum, where the
Christians. the gladiatOrs and the other
performers IN the fashionable hippcdromes
OF those days were accustomed to take
part, and then in the arena There is some
paraphrase OF the old legend IN the play,
and IN the first act the hero. who is a
Christian and a tailor. Is moved through
MS love OF beasts to remove a thorn from
the paw NJ the suffering creature The act
closes with the two clasped In one an
others arms doing some sort OF a tango,
while the indignant wife. who had fallen
into a swoon at the sight OF the beast. re-
proachfully exclsims:
"Oh, sou coward You haven't danced
Win me for years, and now you go of
dancing with great brute beast ehat you
haven't known for ten minutes and that
wants 10 eat your own wife 2"
This extravaganza OF fun is highly char
soierstic OF the rest Of the play. The
second act shows a gathering OF the Chris
tiar prisoners az Rome. There is Ldvinta
rather pdtrician giant convert who
hnles the young aristocrat then she

'hc playwright, although there - less that
Is distinctly his own IN this drama than
In some OF the others. The views OF the
Roman captain as opposed TO those OF the
Christians, especially the principles OF
Louintn, are amusingly contrasted dur
ing this act which ends with the progress
"i the Christians toward the Coliseum,
where they are 10 be sacrificed. But the

OF the Christians by their victory over

REMoRSE IS A MISTAKE

Remorseful dwelling on what is
done forever is mistake Of fools.
The common sense of the situation
resides only in casting out of mind
the regretable act of circumstance
and turning to the present with a
determined spirit that Will fight for
its own-for the right to happiness
now and here. in this tangible iu-
stant we call time present?
All past things are past and over,
and each day is the world made
new. Yesterdays things let yester-
day cover"
We have nothing to do with
them. Even remOrse is a mistake.
If you have done deeds that meet
for remorse, the very fact that you
suffer remorse argues repentance,
there can be no remorse for the re-
lentant sinner, because repentance
must inevitably perform the Office
of exculpation.-Sherlock.

HUMANE TREATMENT BEST

One of the addresses that made a
distinct impression during the re-
cent meeting of the National Con-
ference Of Charities and Correction
in Baltimore was delivered by John
T. Gilmour, superintendent of the
Ontario Reformatory, at Guelph,
Ont. Mr.. Gilmour has under his
supervision 900 men and boys, and
his address was based on the ex-
perience he gained from handling
this small army of delinquents. The
first thing to do. he said, was to
give prisoners plenty of outdoor
work, to abolish the iron animal
cages and take firearms away from
the prison guards. It was his con-

In their half of the inning, the
M.S.P. secured the lead that proved
to be the necessary run to clinch the
game. Wood led off but his hit
was of the sky-high order and was
cared for by Dahl at second. Saxo,
the next man up, howerer. got away
with nice single and stole second.
Bergie was unfortunate and was re-
tired via the tanning route. Billie,
our next man to face the box, was
walked, and then Laff went up and
smashed out a clean three-sacker,
scoring the two runners. Lew, the
next man. fiped out a safe double
scoring Laff. Pat, the next man,
got away on one of the ground or
der but failed to reach first. -Four
hits-Three runs.
Both teams were quickly over
their agony in the seventh, the first
two visitors were famed and, while
the next man connected, he failed
to reach first. 90.

TROUBLE OFTEN A MIRAGE
By Sherlock

Now there you are, with a clean
slate on which you can write the
number two variety of trouble. But
even the trouble of the moment is
often such only in the crooked men,
tai and moral vision of the sufferer.
To draw on fact in nature as an
illustration that is to the point: The
nettle is armed with the most pen
etrating of needle-pointed thorns,
but they are formidable to the timid
and hesitating."
Approach the plant without ap-
prehensiveness of trouble" seize it
boldly and defantly, with a strong
clutch, and the prickers that draw
blood or the weakened or weak
handed will take on velvety caress.
All their danger is nulifed by the
vigorous grasp of courage.
The lesson is obvious. The troI-
BILE that is now trying to swamp
you will loosen it's hold on your
spirit and take to it's heels if you
but turn on it. THE eye OF child
hood ever fears a painted devil -
This very devil himself cunningly
contrives not to materialize.
The trouble you are looking for
need not dismay you. Ifyou go out
resolved on finding it. even if you
have a scramble for it, the chances
are that sometime dnring the day it
will assume form that you will
recognize.
Trouble isn't hard to find. This
rests largely on your own lookout.
There are people. you will find, who
resent insult before it is offered.
7 Ou Will metaphOnlcally see them
suspiciously peeking around a cor
ner TO discover who it is that is
presently to come along and offer
some indignity.
An over developed sence of per-
sonal injury has them; tho if you
appeal to them by reason. or for a
fact or an act in support Of their in
dictment of somebody-anybody-
they are necessarily dumb. The
whole thing is but a monstrous
birth of their inauguration.
The fact is, most of us are too
busy chasing the phantom of hap
piness, and getting into a healthy
and healthful glow with the exer-
else, to care much whether you
have or have not troubles.

THE HUMAN ENGINE

An engine cannot run continuous
ly. 1t must be stopped regularly to
be oiled and cleaned. 1t must be
given an occasional rest so that it's
bearings do not become heated thru
constant friction, thus wearing out
entirely. Unless an engine gets it's
rest and unless it is cleaned and oil
ed the engine will have to undergo
repairs or be thrown on the scrap
heap.
The same thing applies to the hu-
man engine. both physically and
mentally. To preserve ones health
man must rest regularly. He can
not work all day long and all night
long. He must stop. He must end
the friction upon his muscles. He
must cool off, just as the engine,
then he will be ready to rum again.
And the brain. too, is like an engine.
1t is the great thinking" engine
that produces thought and these
thoughts are power that makes the
world move on and on.
You can't force the mind to pro-
duce power" all day long and all
night long. You must rest yonr mind.
You must stop thinking about seri-
GUS matters every once in awhile
and give your brain a rest. The fric-
tion must come to an end. The brain
engine must be allowed to cool off. "
1t must recuperate. Otherwise, like
the iron engine, it will give out en-
tirely and will either have to be re-
paired through a long course of
treatment in some sanatorium for
nervous breakdowns," or go to the
scrap heap" namely. the insane
asylum.
The question of work, therefore,
is as vital to the well being and hap
piness of every man as the question
Of prosperity, or the question of &C
cumulated wealth and providing for
the future. It is well to work indus
triously during work hours, like the
engine that continues hour after
hour to run smoothly grind out pow
er to turn the wheels of the manu-
featuring plant until shut down time
comes. And it is we'll also to employ
time beyond work hours in study,
self-improvement and the cultiva-
ton of your fellows. But a mans
life should not be lived within four
walls.
The capacity for work, for study
and for improvement, after all is
largely a physical capacity-like the
engine that can do 80 much and no
more-and to stand the strain there
must be let-ups and natural restora-
ton of spent energy.
Recreation constantly is necess-
ity-not luxury, as some seem to
believe, tired muscle must be rest
ed; tagged brain must be rested;
stagnant blood corpusles, like the dry
bearing of an engine needing oil
must be made to stir and brighten;
worn brain cell must be overhauled.

A sure enough weather prophet
would be a great and general bles-
sing to the residents of our silent
city" He would be able to raise
great load of anxiety from our
minds, particularly. on such day
as last Saturday. However, we had
our worry for nothing, for we had
our ball game and were all safely
back in our apartments before it
opened up; whew! but it did rain
then.
But 1 must not digress from my
purpose in this manner for it's the
ball game [ am covering, not the
weather, or how the crops needed
rain-but not hail.
Saturdays contest was between
the South Saltwater Baseball team.
an aggregation of amateurs of no
mean ability. and the M. S. P. nine.
This was our third game and after a
decidedly heated contest we had the
pleasure of seeing our home talent
annex their second victory.
The visitors put over some excel
ent ball and at one time it looked
as though they were going to put
it all over the prison team, but
change in the home battery saved
the day.
The "Emespe's'' proved, one
heretofore much disputed point,
they have a good array of box
men in case of need. Van led off
and pitched three innings in splen-
did form. but weakened in the fourth
and was replaced by Red. Appar-
emily our "Mathewson" hadn't re-
covered from the over strain of
pitching two games the previous
week, for the visitors got to him for
six hits and three runs in single
inning, and then we fell back on our
old veteran Pat, and needless to
say South Saltwater scored no more.
Carlson headed the batting order
for the visitors, but Vans delivery
was to much for him. Next to face
the boxman was Underwood, and
while he did manage to connect with
the sphere it proved of no value as
Saxo at second pulled it down. Dab
lin, the next man to try his luck,
repeated the formers lead and pop
ped fly to third that was cared for
by Fanny. No hits-No runs.
In their turn the home team met
a much similar fate. Lovely, the
first man at the plate. rolled out a
grounder but failed to reach first.
Harry followed and after waiting
the limit knocked out a three sacker
that was really beaut. Fanny, who
on previous occasions has proved a
handy man with the club, came up
next, but apparently was off color.
as he was struck out. Wood, the
next man to face the music, hit the
first ball pitched but failed to beat
it to the initial sack. One hit-No
runs.
The second inning again proved
fruitless. The first man was famed
and the next made nice single, but
was tagged trying to reach second;
the third man up failed to hit hard
enough, for Harry was waiting for
him on his arrival. One hit-No
runs.
Saxo led off for the M.S.P. with a
nice safe single. and was advanced
TO second on Bergie's sacrifice, but
was caught when he tried to steal
third. Billy. the next man up, fail
ed to connect. One hit-No runs.
The third proved to be another
blank for the Stillwaters. Dahl,

Unyielding courage establishes
one of the most essential elements
of success in this world. Courage
is the word we should hear whisper
ing in our ears at the very moment
encouragement arises, when we are
exhausting and sinking in the river
of failure. Then should we hear its
call of have courage! I'll pull you
out" We will be more apt to sue
ceed. Did you ever know it to fail
when a man says. "Oh well there
never was any thing in this world
but hard luck for me, / can't hold a
job. The boss doesn't seem to take
to me,'' that this man is either a
shiftless, II should worry" kind of
fellow, or rather a man who does
not take any interest in his BOSSES
work. Now this kind of man you
will find in the down and outs'' of
our cities or on the CO."
1t doesn't fall to the lot of the
average man to have more hard
knocks than he can stand. If he
has plenty of courage and sound
heart, there is always open to him
an avenue of escape, by which he
can avoid the knock out blow" that
would put him down and out for
good.
Robert Collyer, in his famous
lecture touching upon this subject,
says, Clear grit is the power to
say no" to what seems to be a
of angles, when they
would consel you away from down
right loyalty to your instant duty.
Simply determine once for all time
that any torment for being a true
man is to be preferred to any bliss
for falling" If we could only salts
fy our minds with the small things
at first and start at the bottom of
the ladder of success and be content
with the rise of one round at time
until we reach the top, more of us
would be a success than a failure.
The journey over the fimsy path
way of this life is not unlike a ride
in a farm wagon over a roadway
strewn with boulders in a mount
ainous country. There is a con-
slant jolting and danger of being
thrown off the seat, the axels squeak
and groan as you rattle over the
rocks, now and then in a hasty
plunge into one of natures bitches
causes shiver to run through the
stanch vehicle from stem to stern
but all is well until sharp turn in
the road brings you face to face
with large rock in your path, be-
fore you can reign up snap goes the
axel. You climb out to examine
the break, and with an exclamation
of dismay you wonder what you
are going TO do next, then looking
about in your perplexity you see a
small shop and in the doorway
stands blacksmith whom you re-
cognize as success you call him
and he comes to your assistance,
he repairs your damage and sends
you on rejoicing, telling you to
drive more careful. Everything
goes alright for time, but the
journey soon grows tifesome and
you relapse into carelessnes, with al
light grip on the reins, at seeing a
smooth strip in the road ahead, you
whip up at reckless pace unmind-
full of the deep gully just beyond,
until. snap, goes something else, this
time the break is more serious. In
despair the realization is forced up
on you that you are long way from
