In speaking Of personal recollections
OF Dion Boucicault, Henry Miller dwells
upon his superb skill as II stage direc-
tor and tells of the following incident,
which occurred during his first re-
hearSal under Boucicaut:
Il went to him direct from Augustn
Days management. DAILY coached his
players to cross and recrcss the stage
during the progress Of the pay with
the idea that this continual owing
about of the actors created latte
action. During my first rehearsal !
made DAILY cross as spoke one Of
my lines.
why did you do that? Boucicault
asked in his quaint, quizzica manner
'! c-~'3ined that imagined it would
keep the scene moving.
Thanks, my boy said Boucicault
dryly, but If l cannot interest the au-
dience with my pen l don't think you
can with your feet

Whose OK Is eored?
From the Milwaukee Journa

From the Milwaukee Journal.
An Associated Press report today quotes
a representative Austrian as saying of the
note recently addressed to Austria by our
governments:
Now we have received a note couched
In terms never before addressed by one
nation to another. a note couched in terms
of open insult"
Is it possible that this gentleman has so
soon forgotten the Austrian note to Serbia
of July %. 1914. the demand which pre-
cipitated the European conflict? In that
state paper of Austria, we read such eX-
pressions as:
..The culpable tolerance of the royal
Serbian government had not ceased at the
moment when the events Of June IS last,
proved it's fatal consequences to the whole
world. 1t results from the dispositions
and confessions of the criminal perpetra-
tors of the outrage of June IS that the
Serajevo assassinations We're planned in
Belgrade, that the arms and explosives
with which the murderers We're provided
had been given. them by Serbian officers
rodna Odbrana,. and, finally, that the pas
sage into Bosnia of the criminals and
their arms was organized and effected by
the chiefs of the Serbian frontier service
Here is the direct charge that the Ser
bian government had lent itself to a plan
to assassinate members of the royal house
of Austria. Conpar this with the Lam
guage of the note recently addressed by
our government to Austria Hungary:
1.-The United States is unwilling to be-
lieve the latter alternative and to credit
the Austro-Hungarian government with
an intention to permit its submarines to
destroy the lives of helpless men. women
and Children
In one case the act. the assassination
of two persons was committed by private
individuals, but the Serbian government
is held to blame and conditions required
of it which were extremely hard for any
sovereign nation to accept. In the other,
the destruction of many lives was admit
tedly the work of an Austrian naval ves-
sci, and this country processes itself UNI
willing to believe that 1T had the sanction
of the Austrian government.
And yet this writer saws that the Ameri-
can note Is 'couched in terms never be-
fore addressed by one nation to another"
IT is Il charge at once untrue and unfair.
But among nations as among men it
makes u great difference whose ON is be.

he should set about to become in

his heart to the young woman and be-

should straightway repair to father
and mother and confess to them his
love for the daughter. asking their
