tory which deals with him consists only
Of an account of his birth, recitals of
the incidents in which he displayed his
prodigious strength and valor, the tale
Cf his amours, and, at the end, his
tragic destruction, brought about by
the weak element in his character.
Commentators have been sorely per-
picked by the tale. irrespective of the
adornments which it has received at
the hands of the Talmudists. Is Sam
son a Hebrew form Of the conception
personified by the Greek Herakles? Is
he a mythical creature, born in the
human imagination of primitive nature
wCrship-a variant of the Tyrian sun
god Shemesh, whose name his so Curl
ously resembles? (In Hebrew he is
called ShimShon, and the sun She
MESH Was he something more than
man of extraordinary physical
strength and extraordinary moral
weakness, whose patriotic virtues and
pathetic end have kept his memory
alive through the ages? Have a hun
bred generations of men TO whom the
story of Herakles has appeared to be
cnly fanciful romance. the product Of
that Imagination heightened by re-
lieion which led the Greeks to exalt
their supreme heroes to the extent OF
dedication, persisted in hearing and
telling the story of Samson with a SYM
pathetic interest which betrays at least
a sub-conscious belief in its verify? Is
the story only parable enforcing
moral lesson which is as old as hu-
mainly? If so, how got it into the
oanonical Book of Judges, which, with
all its mythical and legendary material,
seems yet to contain large substratum
of unquestionable history?
There was nothing of the divine es-
sence in Samson as the Hebrews con-
ceived him, except that spirit of God
with which he was directly endowed
in supreme crises. There is little evil
dence of his possession of great Wis
dom, but strong proof Of his moral and
religious laxity. He sinned against the
laws Of Israel's God when he took
Philistine woman, an idolater, to wife;
he sinned against the moral law when
he visited the harlot at GAIA. He was
wofully weak in character when he
yielded to the Establishments of Delilah
and wrought his own undoing, as well
as that Of his people. The disgraceful
slavery into which Herakles fell was
not caused by the hero's incontinence
or nervousness, but a punishment for
crime, in that he had in fit of mad

being Mr.. Walter Damrosch and the
principal singers being Frau Marie Rit-
ter-Goetze, Sebastian Montsriol, II. E.
Distelhurst, Homer Moore, Emil Fischer
and Purdon Robinson. London had
heard the work twice as an oratorio be-
fore it had stage representation there
on April &c, 1909, but this performance
was fourteen years later than the first
at the Metropolitan Opera House
on February 8, 1895. The New York
performance was scenically inadequate,
but the integrity of the record demands
that the cast be given here: Samson,
Signor Tamagno; DdliIa, Nine. Man

Abimelech and An Old Hebrew, NJ.
Plancon; First Philistine, Signor Ri
naldini; Second Phitstine, Signor de

The Metropolitan management did not
venture upon a repetition until the
opening night Of the season 19l5-16,
when it's success was such that 1t be-
came an active factor in the repertory
of the establishment; but by that time
il had been made fairly familiar to the
New York public by performances at
the Manhattan Opera House under the
management Of Mr.. Oscar Hammer

November 10, 1908. Signor Campanini
conducted and the cast embraced Nine.

LAST CHAPTER IN ANARCHIST
FAIRY TALE


A sweet but quiet end to the an
archist story which the Chicago pO-
lice department press agents used to
cover up their failures to capture
Jean Crones came yesterday when
John AIlegrini was freed in the South
Clark street court.
With their pretty anarchist tale
shattered and in ruins, the police pre-
sented the evidence against AIlegrini,
which was nothing, and confessed
their inability to cope with the mys-
terry of the poisoned soup.
Just after the arsenic had sickened
a hundred guests at the Mundelein
banquet and Jean Crones had skip
ped, the police arrested AIlegrini and
announced that they had an accom-
plice of the anarchist who tried to
kill the diners. One story after an
other dealing with the mysteries Of

''The dots in the diagram, repre-

is starting at H. My plan is to get
on the other side of him at x and
move in his direction at the same
pace he sets. Suppose he goes ex-
actly so miles each day; then our
boys from K would go toward him at
the same speed. The Iettered dots
represent the stopping places of both
parties.
Don't forget from H to x the two
expeditions depart simultaneously,
march the same number of miles
each day and the dots are the stop

Mercerized thread or silk may be
used.
Another attractive cushion Is
that with the more formal design
OF knotted wild roses. The flower
design is virtually the same as the
other but the color changes the
whole appearance. Each OF the five
petals is composed OF single
French-knot of pale pink silk. The
centers are single yellow French
knots and the foliage is a deep green
made in the lazy-daisy stitch. Out
line stitch is used for the stems.
The design is very quickly
worked. Pale pink ribbon laces the
two oblongs of the pillow together,
running through white embroidered
eyelets. The ribbon used is wider
than baby ribbon and it is twisted
before it is run through the eye
lets. Many looped bows of the rib
bon ornament each OF the four cor
ners. The ribbon should be pink but
not so vivid as TO overpower the
shade of pink in the embroidery"

The muscles which operate the
