individuality, the keynote of the sue

attribute that one must possess from
birth. 1t cannot be cultivated to any
perceptible degree. Which brings to
the subject in hand-Iew Kelly. the stel-
lar attraction of the "Behman Show" at
the Gayety Theater this week. He is
specialist in humor of an individual kind.
In the Dope Cure" as the dope fiend
he presents a distinctive comedy role.
Lew Kelly's first appearance as a dope
character was over ten years ago, with
Ward and Vokes. and he has been play
ing the same character ever since.
Like most of the successes. Lew Kelly
had an ambition TO shine on the stage
ever since he was knee high to a grass
hopper. but not until he was eighteen
was he given opportunity TO display
his abilities. At that mature age he be-
came associated with the Kempton
komedy Co. a repertoire organization
touring the West.
The theatrical profession was not as
lucrative as it might have been in those
days. and the future star experienced
many reverses In recounting some of
his early experiences he said:
AT the time I started in show usi-
ness 1t was hard job to get with a show
that paid salaries. In fact your board
was about all you could depend upon.

years of the above experiences a friend

piled: They're getting along fine. Lew

Stop Slavery in Papua.

Our attention is called by the Anti
Slavery and Aborigines Protection So
ciety to the fact that following the
publication of an article by our Mel
bourne correspondent in the Daily
Chronicle which declared that slavery
was flourishing in Papua British
New Guinea), an investigation was
made by the Australian government
and severe action has now been taken
to bring an end to the conditions we
described.
Among the allegations made were
that native police threatened men
with the destruction of their villages
if they refused to sign on for term
of years; that many boys" in one
division were actually handcuffed for
declining to come away at the bidding
of certain professional recruiters, and
that all of the able bodied males of one
village had been captured.-London

Coal From the Arctic.

A few years ago, the idea of getting
coal from Spitzbergen, one of the most
desolate islands of the Arctic ocean,
was topic for romancers Of the Sun
day supplement type. Now 1t is fact
of considerable moment in many of the
worlds markets. A single company,
financed chiefly by American capital,
mined nearly 10000 tons of coal from
Spitzbergen last year. The deposit
of fuel in the far North is said to be
singularly easy to work. 1t comes in
single seam about four feet thick,
stretching along the. coast for 30 miles.
The surrounding rock is SO solid that
timbering is not needed. The temper
ature is always below the freezing
point in the present workings, which
does away with the need of pumps.
In fact the only real difficulty Is that OF
getting men-and motion pictures have
gone far to solve that problem. Yet
for every ton of coal in Spitzbergen
there are ten in Alaska of at least
equal quality, closer to a hungry mar.
ket The arctic zone won't make a
real dent in the fuel market till our
big northwest territory gets in action

With the return of fancy needlework
to fashion in the belongings of grown
people, it is sure to appear on chill

are used.

With the Essayists.

OF all the displays of art the essay
Is the most indefnable, the most sub
tie, because it has no scheme, no pro-
gram.
1t does not set out to narrate or to
prove; it has no dramatic purpose, no
imaginative theme; it's essence is a
sympathetic self-revelation, just as in
talk a man may speak frankly of his
own experiences and feelings, and yet
avoid any suspicion of egotism, if his
condolences are designed to illustrate
the thoughts of others rather than to
provide a contrast and self-glorifca-
ton.
The essayist gives rather than
claims; he compares rather than pa
rades. He is led by his interest in
others to be interested in himself, and
it is as man rather than as an indi-
yidual that he takes the stage.
He must be surprised at the discov-
cries he makes about himself rather
than complacent; he must condone his
own discrepancies rather than exult
in them.

Center of Population.

For more than a century a careful
calculation has been made every ten
years to fix the exact center of popu-
lation. When the census was taken
in 1880 the center of population was
found to be near Annapolis, Md, well
east of Chesapeake bay. A decade
later the center had moved to point
just above the city OF Washington
Throughout the history of the country
the population center has moved
steadily westward at the rate of about
100 miles every ten years. The cen
ter of population of our 1o0,0o0,0oC
lies in Illinois near its western boun
dairy. In another decade it will prob
ably cross the Mississippi river

LIKE THE EGYPT OF OLD
Country Has Seen Little Change
While the Rest Of the World
Has Been Advancing.

In journeying to Assouan from
rhebes the traveller cannot fail to be
impressed by the two beautiful TEN.
pies of Edfu and Kom Ombo. The
former, situated almost midway in
the journey is of special interest be
cause it is the best preserved of all the
Egyptian temples. 1t w2S center OF
the cult OF Osiris, whose death and
rising again WAS celebrated every
spring within it's close. The festival
began with deep mourning. Process
sions of priests marched around the
walls deploring the death of their god
In the contest with the evil one. In
the sanctuary lay the mummy, person
flied by priest, while priestess who
represented Isis wept over her dead
lord and begged for his return. Al
last the resurrection morning came,
the mummy arose, and JOY reigned
among the worshipers. Again process
sions formed upon the walls and,
marching with banners and musical
instruments. proclaimed the risen lord
to those who stood about.
A few miles away is kom Ombo, the
beautiful temple of Sebek, the crocn-
die god, whose devotees hated the
worshipers of Osiris as fiercely as in
later times the followers of the prophet
hated the Coptic monks whom they
found before them in this very valley.
Like Edfu, it dates from the days af
the Ptolemies, who built both build
ings on ancient sites. The rulers of
that time were Hellenists, but their
architecture was that of ancient
Egypt, SO firmly rooted in the land
were the old dynastic traditions. Per-
sian, Greek and Roman came and
carved their names upon the temples,
but left no mark upon the unchanging
spirit of Egypt. Not even today is
there any alteration, for still the
houses in the villages are built as OF
old, and over them rise the pigeon
towers, veritable pylons, exactly like
the lowered gateways of the ancient
temples.-"Royal Temples of the

as good soldiers as men? Look how
