Ray stannard Bakers Plea For

THE HAPPIEST.

Inhappiness there are far more re-
sions unknown than there are in mis-
fortune. The voice Of misfortune is
ever the same; happiness becomes
more silent as it penetrates deeper.
HE'S happiest who best understands
his happiness. for he is Of all men
most fully aware that it is only the
lofty idea. the untirins. courageous
human idea. that separates gladness

There have been no imitators Of the
great French actress. Jane HadinG. who
n for . while regarded as a rival in

~Bernhardt's. She was wholly different
in method. The personal note in Sarah
Bernhard was so strong that the flu
fifty OF imitation was always obvious.
OF course. there were actresses TO
adopt her most patent manncrisms and
10 attempt her most hysterical emo
tonal fits. But they never progressed
beyond the externals OF her style.
What has made her great for so many
years keeps her Incompatible to-day.
Sic Is a tragcdiennc Of the most ex-
