When an Actress Grows Old?

1t is somewhat of a tragedy, In an
article on the age of stage folk, Wal
ter Prichard Eaton says in the Febru-
airy American Magazinei
."Growing old is something of a
tragedy for all of us; Any woman,
looking in her glass and seeing the
telltale crows feet, the duplicate
chins, the maternal sag, knows that
she has lost something precious which
she can never recapture, Any man,
finding some day that the glances of
girls pass him by, that tennis is no
longer his game, that he now says to
the young and idealistic; When you
are as old as l am, you'll think diff
ferently-,' goes into secret session
with himself, and the session is not
happy one. How much more tragic,
then-how really tragic, for to u the
player charm is an essential asset and
a tools the fate of the actor or
actress who grows old, who loses that
allure of youth and beauty which is
so vital a part of stage charm. l re-
member talking once with an Amer
Jean girl who had just visited q ia
nous and now elderly foreign actress
in her country home in England. The
actress talked of her life, of her past
triumDhs, and as she talked she pick
ed up hand mirror, looked at, her
fact, and burst into tears of self-pity
She was enacting a tragedy in real
life"

Silver Bullets
(Frem the Wall Street Journal

(Brem the Wall Street JournaD
Lloyd George once spoke of the "sil-
yer bullet" winning the war, Our finan-
cial arsenals are filled with those bull
let's, gold plated at that, We can send
them to the Allies by the shipload so
long as the war lasts,
America can take upon itself a iarg-
er part of the task of feeding the
armies and civilians of the Allies, Where
Germany is hungry, we have grain.
Next spring we can increase the acre
age of cereals, potatoes and foodstuffs
in general, Governmental regulations
may even be directed to that end, We
have more than "a million dairy cows,
40, 100000 head of cattle, 4S,000,000
sheep and 100000 swine. These ami
mails mean food clothing and leather,
There are 25,000,O00 horses and mules
ready for the battlefront, or the farm
or wherever their labor is needed, War
calls for copper steel, coal and many
chemicals, In the possession of these
military necessities we are the strong
est and best prepared nation of the
world,
If the shert-sighted kaiser sees moth
ing but a mobilization of unframed men
behind our little army, he makes his last
and greatest mistake.

MARK TWAIN HID IN PTGPEN
Rather Than Ride With Henry James, the Hurnorst

By BRIGGS

of them for Il brief space while he
went to his workshop, and he con-
ceived the brilliant idea of sending
them off together in his car to see
how the town had grown since their
last visit.
If it had worked out the idea would
have been little short of genius but
it did not. Henry James was ready
for the ride, but Mark Twain suddenly
disappeared as if the earth had open
ed and swallowed him up. What had
become of Mr.. Clemens? He could
not be found upstairs or down, in the
garden or at the kennels, and Mr..
James was getting more nervous every
minute. Ten minutes passed, fifteen
minutes, and the whole place was up
set while Mr., James fretted at the
disappearance Of the gentleman who
had been wished on him for a ride
which neither of them cared to take,
at least in each others company. Hav-
ing exhausted all the possible hiding
places at the castle, further search
was made for Mr.. Clemens in the ad-
jacent grove, and one of the searching
party In passing a pigpen was almost
startled by some voice saying "S-h
s-h, s-h" Approaching the pen the
searching party found Mr.. Clemens
squatting in the corner of the pen and
sayings Ssh, s-h; don't tell anybody
you saw me-"

Rhymes From the Nursery
Nursery Land

oh, wondrously fine place is Nursery
Land,
Where everythings pleasant and
everything's grand;
The people who live there are busy as
bees,
They rest not a momenI-they build
on their knees
The longest of trains, that through
dark tunnels creep
And they hammer and plane, and
build sky-scraperS steep;
Then they're dreSsmakers fine, and
milliners, too,
Bookmakers and singers-fll venture
that you
With all of your learning and culture
so grand
Could ne'er fashion place quite like
Nursery Land!
And the languages spoken in Nursery
Land!
You never could learn them nor yet
understand
Baby talks Goo-Goo, and brother talks
slang,
The next to the baby, we'll, twingity-
His twaddle's a cross between English
and French,
The words seem to come with a sort of
q wrench!
Ana big sister pulls off new sort of
stunt,
She calls piggy language"-she says
with grunt
''Oh, don'tski do-youski d. thinkski
it's grand ~
Yet Harmony reigneth in Nursery
Land
And they're quite democratic in Nurs-
cry Land,
Though Babe tries to rule them with
heavy iron hand;
'Tis true they will bow to him once in
awhile,
And sometimes they kiss his wee feet
If he smile,
Yet the ruling of this most miraculous
place,
Is the voice of the people-the Nox
Populace.
The Presidents oft changes as one
may discern,
And whenever there's trouble Con-
gross doth adjourn
But though they may quarrel they
never disband
But live on and prosper in Nursery
Land

Were as Busy as Bees
(From the New York Mail)

One of the Oldest assertions of the
bee-keepers has been that honey could
not be adulterated with success. but
health department inspectors have
found q full blown honey plant in the
basement of private home in Manhat-
tan.
There were no bees at work in the
plant when 1t was raided, but there
were half a dozen women and a mar
as busy as bees with pots and pans
about stove. They were boiling ur
concoction, the chief ingredients Of
which were sugar and about 10 pei
cent of genuine honey. The plant was
discovered after honey purchasers haC
complained they were receiving adul.
terated honey.

CEVERAL weeks ago Col. George
y Harvey made most interesting
address at the anniversary of the
Phi Beta Kappa at William and Mary
College, says the Washington Times.
lie did not touch on politics and was
at his Best For an hour or so he
kept his brilliant audience on edge
as he told about some of the literary
lights he had known. The stories
about Henry James and Mark Twain
were particularly delicious.
According to Harvey, Mr.. Clemens
and Mr., James despised each other.
James did not know that the world
was moving on; what had been was.
He could not get it through his head
that because letter postage in the
United States was three cents when he
lived here and it was only two cents
when he came back, after he had been
living for years in England. Many
changes had been made, but he would
not admit it. His eyes could not see
them, and his mind refused to accept
other than the evidence of his eyes.
But the most amusing experience of
Harvey with these two high lights in
the literary heavens was when they
were both his guests at his country es-
tate at the same time, He had some
work to do, and thought it over to
himself how he could get rid of both

She Admits It

Germany is fighting for the freedom
of the seas and the sanctity of inter
national law. This the world knows,
because Germany admits 1t. The pres
ent situation confirms Germany's po-
sition, as anybody can see, for:
Germany orders neutral ships 10
paint themselves up like barber poles
in the best style of German art;
Germany DEGREES how many neutral
ships shall sail from and for their
home ports each week;
Germany sinks neutral merchant
ships at sight, without stopping for
warning, visit or search;
Germany orders neutral ships not to
arm themselves for protection against
pirates:
Germany amends international law
over night in time of war, as suits the
exigencies of her own cause.
Plainly, therefore, Germany is TIE
defender of freedom of the seas, fhe
guardian of international law.-TJew

The Boy Who Didn't Pass

A sad faced little fellow sits alone in

There's a lump arising in his throat
and tears stream down his face;
He wandered from his playmates. for
he doesn't want to hear
Their shouts of merry laughter since
the world has lost It's cheer.

And his heart Is fairly breaking; he's
the boy who didn't pass.
In the apple tree the robin sings a
CHEEKY little song,
But he doesn't seem to hear 1t. show
ing plainly something's wrong;
Comes his faithful Attle spaniel for a
romp and bit of play.
But the troubled little fellow sternly
bids him go away,
And alone he sits in sorrow, with his
hair a tangled mass,
And his eyes are red with WeeplnBI
he's the boy who didn't pass.
Oh, you who boast q laughing son and
speak of him as bright,
And You who love a little girl who
comes to you tonight
with smiling eyes and dancing feet,
with honors from her school,
Turn to that lonely boy who thinks he
is n fool,
And take him kindly by the hand, the
dullest in the class'
He is the one who most needs love

by highbrows." zone man power" and
similar arguments are being used
against it.
Harrisburg is heading rapidly to-
ward home rule. There is a strong
undercurrent of sentiment in that di-
rection in the Legislature. The first
steps will be taken during the pres
ent session. A few years hence we
shall be framing a new charter for this
city. The experience through which
Kansas City is now passing will be
repeated here. We would do well to
observe closely what is transpiring.
The same forces that oppose a rea-
