Albert sydney Burleson. went with
her husband and her daughters on the
"hrst night" of the play. and called up
the authors OF the play next morning
al the Shoreham To tell them what a
great drama ii was. Not only that.
but Mrs. Burleson. who has written
one or two plays herself, talked about
"Polygamy" everywhere. reinforced by
her friend Mrs. Gregory. the pretty
wife or the new Attorney General. and
finally gave tea fop Miss Harriet

play opened in New York. Mr.. O'Hig-

his life before, talked to the 600 press
women and thereby created 500 press

"Polygamy" had scarcely opened in
New York when little Jean Webster.

 TUPPER TRIBUTE


 OTTOWA. Nov B. Sir Robert Borden, premier Of Canada paid Che following tribute to the memory of the late Sir Charles Tupper:
 "In Sir Charles Tupper passed aw. ay the greatest living Canadian and the sole survivor of the Fathers of Confederation. For nearly fifty years he was in the very forefront of pub lie affairs. whether in his native pro. vince or iD the Dominion. Premier of his native province, minister of fi nance. minister of railways and can als. high commissioner Of Canada in London Prime Minister of Canada no Canadian has had a more distinguish. ed public career
 'His remarkable resolution and courage in the face Of any difficulty, however appalling. was sufficient to inspire the most doubtful follower. His wonderful vision enabled him to foretel the splendid possibilities Of Western Canada at Q time when his prophecies were derided as airy va- porings. He lived to see an such prophecies doubly fulfilled
 He always placed the interests Of the country above those of party On one occasion when he was leader Of the Opposition in the Federal Parlia- ment was present when news came to him that the government Of the day intended to propose a certain measure which would stimulate the iron and steel industry in Canada He said with emphasis
 " T am glad of it even if it gives them another four years of power.
 'In August. last called upon him at his residence. Bexley Heath. near London Physically he was very fec ble but his mlnd was as clear and active as when ] first knew him. and his interest, in all that concerns the welfare Of the Dominion and the Em- pire was never more active
 "He leaves behind him Q noble rec ord and great name of which Can ada will ever be proud"
