Billy Arlington. the tramp with the
Golden Crook Burlesquers. appearing at
the Gayety Theater during q. A. R.
week. is the highest paid man on the
burlesque stage. And he was tripped into
his good fortune.
Usually a trip-up means a reverse in
fortune, but such was not the case with
the inimitable knight Of the road appear
ing with the Golden Crook troupe. It
happened in this wise: As a youngster
he ran away from his home in Smith
field. Va. and had the usual runaway's
the time. When fate picked him out as
he was dispensing viands and seeing that
the water, glasses were filed in a res
taurant, eking out a precarious existence
with the tips that the patrons of the
esta tablishment donated.
As he was threading his way among
lthe diners one day he tripped. Instantly
men and women started from their seats
expecting TO witness a bad fall and
ready to rush to the assistance of the
young waiter. What was their surprise
to see him gracefully turn a complete
somersault and land lightly on his feet
as coolly as though 1t was part of his
business to turn fiip-hops-
The audience Of diners applauded the
youth. and when they had subsided his
employer came to him. asking why he
had done such stunt. Young Arlington
replied that 1t was purely accidental.

batic stunts. which he had seen done in
theaters. Music, for which he had
natural ear. also became his delight. and
he spent many hours trying to play an
old violin and to beat the piano in the
music hall.
The comedian after leaving his waters

Primrose, after hearing Arlington sing.

largest circuses in the country.

enthusiast, and when he Is not making

about the parks and going from city to
city with his company.
Billy Arlington believes that burlesque
is capable of much greater heights than
II has yet reached, and 1t Is his constant
endeavor to raise its standard. Lewd-
ness and profanity are not funny and
have no place in theatricals. burlesque or
otherwise. The average theatergoer does
not laugh at vulgarity: he appreciates

Our PrOneness To Condemn

Are not most Of us too hasty in
our criticism Of our fellow men,
and too ready to impugE wrong mo-
tives to public officials, before we
have done the objects our criticism
the justice to make careful, de-
liberate investigation Of those things
upon which our insinuations or ac-
cusations are based?
These questions have been asked
by thousands of preachers and in
thousands Of volumes, and they be-
long to that class Of questions which
answer themselves.
The inquiry is not suggested any
more by local than by general inei-
dents, as it is not at all uncommon
to pick up d newspaper and read Of
such and such an official being ac-
cnsed Of wrondoing, and later in an
insignificant corner Of the same
paper Noticing that the official (,
aftes full investigation, was exoner-
ated Of every charge made against
him.
The character of a man, if it be
a good one and has been earned hy
years Of faithful, honest attention
to those little things that go to
make up honor and integrity, is as
priceless a gift as virtue is to wo-
man. 1t is hard to build up, but
it is extremely easy to tear down.
A whisper, a rumor, a significant
word or look, will sometimes blast
a mans whole life, Just as it will
degrade a woman from her pedestal
Of purity and chastity to the dirt
they were capable and with which
they would have been entrusted.
We cannot be too careful in what
we say or what we do when the
character Of one Of our fellow cit-
zens is at stake. A little time and
full investigation will not leopard
ize the interests Of society, and it
may be that what has appeared to
be wrong or even criminal will de-
velop into merely mistake not in
volving loss to any one and inno-
cent Of any evil intent.
Surely those who profess to follow
Him who made no compromises
with sin, but who was patient and
long suffering with those who ex-
hibited only the frailities Of human
nature, should be more charitable
to their fellow men until they are
sure of their ground. -Ex.

The Consumer
There you have it--both ends
and the middIeand tie three
working 10 harmony should make
any ocmmanity prospe oas.
The one cannot prosper without
the other, and neither can meet
with success without the co-opcra-
ton Of tire other two.
Therefore, to achieve prosperity
for this country it becomes the
paramount duty Of all concerned to
work il harmony-to labor to one
common cnd-to protect the homes
that give rs shelter and to conserve
the interests Of the people who con-
stitute the community.
We may make Of this community
a hive Of industry and realm Of
pence, prosperity and happiness--or
we may just drift along with Tie
tide and pick up the crumbs that
are thrown our way, and grum5ie
because the Lord provides for others
and apparently forgets our existen-
ce.
It win be as We make it-no other
way
The Lord has provided Us with
intelligence and health, and energy
and the power to accomplish things.
With this His work is done, and
the rest is up to us.
If we make the best Of that which
He has given us we will soon be-
como prosperous, and happy and
contented--a people enjoying % the
fullest Of life's blessings.
But if we neglect the gifts with
which he has endowed US the PEN
atty Of failure will fall upon our
own shoulders-the responsibility
will be ours alone-the commercial
stagnation ofscommon community
will be. but the natural sequence Of
our own short-siehtedness.
No community will prosper with
ut the presence Of a variety Of
stores, shops and marts Of COM
merce and trade. They are as nee
essary as the ground we till and
the sun and rain that produce the
crops.
No store or shop can survive
without the loyal support Of the
communicable whole commune
ity.
The interest oil the retailer ana
the consumer are one in common
the SUCCESS OF the one depends upon
the cooperation Of the other
But these two interests that
should be working in harmony are
often TOO wide apart-separat by
yawning gulf Of Indifference and
neglect
And the body polite, the conn
munity as a whole, suffers, and
stagnates, and withers and dies.
But there is a remedy.
And herein comes the province.
