was successful in such rather cheap
comedies as "Cinder Ellen Up to
Date" and High Life Below Stairs"
which, however, gave ample oppor-
tunity for the display Of her remark
able ability as q comedienne.
Ellen Farren's acting was charac-
teTized by an almost unbounded fund
of high spirits and good humor. She
possessed natural drollery which
was spontaneous in her acting. Be-
sides this, her sympathy with human
weaknesses added to the appeal of
her acting.
But Ellen Farren was, as her crit-
les put 1t. neither tall nor beautiful
nor gifted with q pleasing voice,
either In song or speech" II was
simply the force of her individuality
and her natural ability at the por-
trayal of comedy that made her gain
success.

MANY NEW SEASONAL LAWS.

The Governor has thus far signed more bills than
the entire number enacted by the Legislature last
year. Nearly all these enactments made in the
last half of the session. AS the Legislature is ad-
journ next Tuesday at p. m, there is yet time to
pass from fifty to hundred bills unless the majority
leaders put the lid
With these and the bills now in the hands of the
Governor the record of the session may equal or
exceed that of the Legislature of 1913, which was
367. Last year the enactments 274. In 1913
there were two special sessions from May to 26,
and from August to 12 and twenty-four additional
laws were passed.

One OF the most successful of all
women condolences, Ellen Farren,
was born in England, April 16, 1s4s.
She was the daughter OF poor actor,
and was usually known as Nellie.
That she would one day go on the
stage was undoubted, but that she
should become one of the most brill
liant of all condolences was un-
dreamed of. 1t must have been good
omen that the first role In which she
appeared was that of one of the
young dukes in Shakespeare's "Rich-
ard Ill.," for that seems to have been
the first rung on the ladder Of sue
cess for scores of successful ac-
tresses.
At the age of nine abe made a
decided hit with a song In a light
comedy In which her father appeared,
and 1t was actually from this tender
age that her stage career began. She

Lincoln and Reconstruction.

Lincoln and Reconstruction.
From the Boston Transcript.
Lincoln was the first President of
the United States to fall at tho
hands of an assassin. Like Garfield
and Mckinley, he perished in the
acme hour of his popularity. Unlike
them, he was inundated to the en-
piring passions of the great Civil
War Viewed from the standpoint
Of his achievements, he may be said
to have died in the hour of the con-
summate triumph of his cause, but
when the success of his policy yet
remained to be determined. A SYM
pathetic golden strand runs through
Lincoln's policy. During his lifetime
he never forgot to endeavor to asso-
ciate reconciliation with the suprem-
acy of the Union. He did not want
to see the Southern Confederacy
treated as so many conquered prov
inces, but as so many reconciled
States. His kindness and his states
manship went together. The asso>
citation of the generous heart and
wise head. which Carlyle pronounced
indissoluble, was emphasized In Lin
coin. He would have paid the South
for the enfranchised slaves to give 1t
capital with which to begin it's new
career as section wholly dependent
on hired labor.

Eddie Foy Says His Daughter, Child
Actress, just Can't Help Singing.

NEW YORK, Auril 16. - Eddie
Foy. the actor, explained to JUS
tices O'Keefe, Collins and McIner-
ney in Special Sessions yesterday how
it was that his fourteen-yea ar-old
daughter. Mary, just couldn't help
singing when she came on the stage
for the Foy family's act, which was
billed as 1.-The Seven Foys." Foy was
in court on a complaint by Assistant
superintendent Moore of the Chill
dren's Society that Mary Foy's ap-
pearance was a violation Of Section
4S6 of the penal law.
1.-THE children are permitted to sing
in every other city in the country, !"
Foy told the justices. Here have a
permit from the mayor which allows
them to speak their lines but not to
sing. Sometimes, however, their ar
tistic temperament gets the better Of
them and they break loose. I have
them under control usually so that
they only speak their lines. I do not
sing-all the world knows that. The
singing is done by the two older boys
and by two women behind the
scenes"
Foy was found guilty, but sentence
was suspended.

churches were needed.
He advocated more ball teams and
places where dances and plays could

Municipal Saloon Proves Hugo Success
In South Dakota Town.


In South Dakota Town.
LENNON, S. ID, April 16.-If busl-
ness keeps up for the next two months
as 1t has since last July Lemmon's
municipal saloon will have contributed
approximately $4,000 toward the
schools and municipal improvements.
The monthly profit of Lemmon's one
saloon is 81 900 a month.
Before the last law limiting the
number OF saloons per capita
throughout the State, Lennon, with
a population of 1,225 inhabitants, had
eight saloons. Competition was keen,
and to make their respective saloons
attractive" some of them became
the lowest manner Of dives. When
the per capita law was passed Lem
mon was allowed two saloons. There
was intense rivalry for the two Ii
censes. A proposition that the city
go into the saloon business was put
to a vote and failed.
"Since the saloon started last July"
said Mayor Watt, "it has given
satisfactory results from every point
Of view. When we had eight saloons
here you can readily imagine What
element dominated our politics. we
have eliminated nearly all OF the fac
tional fighting and are all now work.

BY SQUARE DEAL


Dunkhorst Should Worry.
"If some writer should come out
with a boost for me l would drop dead
from heart disease" said big Ed Dunk
horst. the human freight ear recently.
81 have been before the public for
twenty years as a boxer and actor.
and | can remember but few press
notices that spoke favorably of me as
a fighter. AS to my qualifications for
the stage, / will leave that to the pub
lie. | have been sending home a nice
wad Of coin every week right along. so
there must be something in my baby
act on the stage that makes me a win
ner.
A good laugh was brought out when
Dunk got on the scales and 1t was
found that there was not enough
weights to weigh him. The beam was
at 45O pounds when this happened. SO
there is no official report as to Dunk's
weight. but it Is something like 4SO
pounds.
Dunkhorst says that he Is sorry that
he is not young enough to go back In
the ring, as he Is sure he could beat
all the white hopes before the public
today. Dunk was in his prime In the
day when the heavyweight division
contained the best bunch Of boxers on
record, such as Jim Jeffries, Bob F1tz-
simmons, Kid Mccoy, Tom Sharkey.
Gus Rubin, Jim Hall, Joe Choynski
and others. He acted as sparring part
ner to Fitz and JEFF.
JEFF got what he deserved when
Johnson whipped him." said Dunk.
"He hasn't a friend In the world
among the boxers. On the other hand.
Johnson, despite his black skin. Is real
ly n good fellow ut heart. Once | loan
ed him a dollar to get a place to sleep.
He was down and out. The next time
l met him he handed me 800. turn

me for the address of a Russian tailor
who had befriended him. He not only
paid back all the money he owed, but
staked the tailor to enough coin to take
his family back to Russia"

year, and Christmas day is likely to
be chosen.
Nearly every country which has a
season of snow and ice has its national
winter sport. In one country 1t Is
skiing. in another tobogganing, in a
third curling and in another coasting.
Apparently every modern country
has discovered some way of getting
pleasure out of the slipperiness Of
snow and ice.
The Christmas snow sports are even
greater in variety, for the opportunity
is broadened by the unevenness of the
earth's surface.
In Canada snowshoeing, tobogganing
and sleighing are sports whose MEN,
cries color the feelings of every son
and daughter of the north country who
wanders from home toward the south.
Norway is the home of the ski.
Coasting with on ones feet Is
a sport which taxes nerve and muscle.
for it calls for quick decisions and ac-
ton at times. especially when an abyss
Unexpectedly looms up in front.
To the uninitiated and, for that
matter, a great many of the initiated
the ability of the masters to turn SOM
ersaults on skis is n of the accom-
plishments of the sport to be viewed
with admiration and wonder, but 1t is
a feat attempted by the few only.
The fascination of the ski has cap
tured the sport loving persons of other
countries.

But the palate is not the only thing,
nor indeed chief. Winter sports are
at their apogee on Christmas day.
Play in the open is at its maddest and
merriest.
The country hillsides are alive with
gleeful coasters of both X and OF
all ages, and the small rivers and
wooded streams are fields of joyous
activity.
Fortified with the Christmas good
cheer, which has been dispensed so
literally, the bracing air has no sting
for this jubilant humanity. and every
body and his friend appear in the open.
Not alone in the heaven made coun-
try, but even in the man made town,
is the spell of the open in full develop
ment on Christmas day.
The artificial ponds and lakes are
aglow with brightly arrayed moving
figures, and every mound and elevation
on which the snow is lodged is peopled
with those who. bravely indeed, are
making the most of it.
1t is but sorry substitute for the
wealth of opportunity which nature
has poured out upon the country. but
it is accepted cheerfully, especially on
Christmas day.
