feeling among the natives, famed by
the demagogues, concerning the cruel
ties OF Molokai, where men and wom-
en-, not alone bonished from friends
and family, were compelled to live in
perpetual imprisonment until they
died. There we're no reprieves, no
combinations OF sentences. "Aban-

Compliments For Mr.. Shepherd. O

MIR. r. d. Shepherd (R. d. MacLean) ,
who has been appearing as "Shylock"
with the Jewett Players, stock company,
made a splendid success in Boston, says
the Dramatic Mirror. Hecompletely won
both the critics and the public, and his
Interpretation is described as showing
such attention to detail in word and in act
as TO make tone ofthe greatest Shylocks
Boston has ever seen. Mr.. Shepherd is
taking on limited number OF special en-
gagements as a star with sjrst-class stock
companies, playing in Shakesperean
roles.
A writer in the latest number OF the
Dramatic Mirror says this:
81 think r. D. MacLean will have to
confess that he has changed his opinion
about there being no demand for Shakes
peare this season. After several weeks
with the Jewett Players, at the beautiful
Boston Opera House, he is obliged to ad-
nit that Boston still likes Shakespeare
and is ready 10 patronze II, too. Mr..
MacLean appeared ina numberof Shakes
pearean roles and at the last matinee OF
his engagement the big auditorium was
packed and jammed with people anxious
to see him in "The Merchant OF Venice"
which the critics had said was excelled
by none OF the famous actors they could
recall. Mr. MacLean has always ex-
pressed the belief that Shylock is his
best Interpretation and il must be gratlfy-
ing TO have critical Boston agree with
him. His Brutus OF last February with
Faversham was one OF the most perfect
performances | have ever seen. He was
Brutus, in every respect the noblest-act-
ing Roman have ever seen. To imagine
the gentle Brutus as Shylock required
some thinking. but New York critic
who happened TO be present at Boston
performance told me that the learned and
particular city was right in its opinion.
He added that he wished New York
might see the MacLean ShYlock."

Kitchener, The Strategist.

One OF the most characteristic stories oi
Lord Kitchener, says Pearson's Weekly,
is told Of his campaign in the Sudan. II
appears that snipers had been shooting
his messengers, and he ordered that tel
ephone wire should be carried across a
certain stretch OF the desert.
AS Kitchener Ihad ordered it, OF course
it had to be done but there was much
Struggling of shoulders, for it was believ-
ed that after the enemy had got over their
awe for this new contrivance they would
be sure TO cut the wire.
This is what happened time and again.
Kitchener never complained; he simply
ordered the wires 10 be repaired.
Later on, the shoulder ShruggerS learn
ed TO their intense surprise and admira-
lion that the overhead wire was only a
decoy. Kitchener had caused the real
wire to be laid underground.

The Splendid Spur.

"The strength OF love-" says Beatrice
Forbes Robertson Hale, "lies in height
ened power to serve. One sees this truth
exemplified every day. Love the most
stimulating emotion human beings know.
Fear paralyzes, hate perverts or destroys,
avarice narrows, ambition warps. Only
love is creative, only love stimulates and
expands the whole being until weakness
becomes strength and maniiests itself by
heightened power to serve.
The man who loves his country will
find thousand avenues for patriotic
work. He will follow the flag with JOY,
guard il at risk of life and limb, hold its
honor as his own, and his love will dis
cover TO him still greater opportunity to
prove his devotion when to the indiffer-
ent heart every possible service will seem
10 have been rendered. There is no fall
ing back TO the soldier who truly loves
his country's fluttering ensign, because
mind and body are in accord. The heart
commands service, the body eagerly re-
spends to the command. There is in
tensified power to serve because no spirit
of rebellion retardS heroic effort.
The man who loves woman suddenly
finds himself endowed with the strength
OF two men. He longs so ardently to
achieve for her dear sake that he rises
above and beyond his normal ability.
Tasks he would not essay ior himself he
voluntarily grasps and grapples with be-
cause Of her, and the laurelS that crown
his successes were won because OF her
and have value only as they give her Joy.
The man who loves a child tolls cheer
lily through monotonous days. He bears
his share OF burdens, beneath which other
men lament, and deems them light be-
cause chiId's silvery laughter and fra
grant kisses glorify the close OF day.
The weakest thing in the world, cooling
baby, nestles against his heart at night
and his strength as father is greater than
the strength OF the childless man.
How often do we hear of the will to
live because oflove, queringthe weak
ness OF those upon the verge OF death.
Love rising above the feeblenesS OF the
body and rallying the sinking faculties
Until health is restored. There is almost
no limit 10 the endurance OF man or wom-
an if only sufficient spur be found 10
urge the mind and body on. When no
other motive in the world will move,
when no power can compel, when no
promised reward will incite TO action, love
can easily influence. Inspired by it man
becomes superman and woman but little
lower than the angels. Neither are thus
strong without this great incentive, but
in the race OF love they are as runners
that cast aside all handicapS and with
every nerve strained to attain the goal,
they win it, through strength beyond
their own.
