Special correspondent Of the wsshingtoa Herald.
New York. March 1&-As q man
speaketh so is he, The subway ex-
press was roIHcxing along with the
home-going Manhattanese. Several
tired passengers cast their gaze upon a
youth Of some twenty odd years, clad
In robes of the highest quality. He
wore a cravat that Indicated its belief
that it should be heard as well as
seen.
On his glistening patent feathers he
wore those much insulted and MINI
licked. but still considerably in vogue
spats. There were valuable rings
adorning graceful. well shaped fin-
gers: finger nails with the appearance
Of having daily paid homage to an
expert manicurist-
His was the complete atmosphere
OF superiority, OF selectiveness. and
many OF the passengers were thrilled
to be in the presence OF this person
ality. He wore his hat jauntily. and
in one vest pocket peeped q gold Gig
arctic case and in the other a gold
match safe. Slanting across his vest
was a thin platinum chain-neat, as
they say. but not at all gaudy.
The smell of high-priced pomade
from his welI-smoothed hair gave a
pleasant relief from the Gagged subway
odors.
He turned!
He observed the admirInR gaze OF a
poorly clad young man who stood
with his mouth wide open. Then he
spoke
Then
The genealogical horror Of 1t all!
Say, fellen youse amt got no
match on youse, have youse? I'm
gittin' out at the next station and l
want to light me torch"
And the young man addressed
shuddered. passed out the match and
turned with losthing to the sport

Martin Beck, who hires actors-and
fires them, too-for vaudeville pur-
poses. believes that actors like to suf-
fer. In fact, he says they must suf-
fer. And those who enjoy seeing see
ing actors suffer can see them in the
act of suffering at any theatrical
boarding house ON Saturday night
But, anyway, Il is Mr.. Beck's theory
that suffering Is part OF the actor
life most enjoyed. To succeed means
to overcome, To overcome means to
do against odds-thus It is the actor
likes to suffer.
He has that something in him which
delights in tribulations and he Is con-
stantly thinking about them. Get a
group Of actors tosether--and have
seen them together frequently-and
the topic of conversation is always
hard luck. They seem to delight In
telling hard-luck stories. Of unpaid

Death of Mrs. J. NJ. Gross

The sad intelligence of the death of
Mrs. J. NJ. Gross was received here
early on Wednesday in a telegram
to Mr. Frank Harris from DR.. Gross.
The message stated that Mrs. Gross
had passed away at four o'clock yes
terday morning.
While the seriousness of Mrs. Gross
condition had been known here for
some time among her friends they all
hoped to the last that she might i'm
prove and be spared for many years
longer, but HE who dOeth all things
we'll ordained otherwise, and al
though every possible thing was done
to save her life it was of no avail. The
cause of Mrs Gross death was hard
ening Of the arteries.
For four years Mrs Gross lived in
Ocala while her husband was the pas
tor of the Methodist church here,
moving the latter part of December to
Miami. where her death occurred.
While living in Ocala Mrs. Gross made
a great many very dear friends to
whom her death has brought a great
deal of sorrow.
DR.. and Mrs. Gross moved to OCala
from Oklahoma, which was their
home for a number of years. For sew
eral years Mrs. Gross taught in the
Methodist college at Ardmore. Okla
homa, of which DIR. Gross was the
president, and it was while at the col
lege that she and DR.. Gross were
married about eighteen years ago.
Mrs. Gross is survived by her de.
voted husband, three daughters, Mrs.
w. M. Tyer of Ardmore, Oklahoma,
Mrs. T. H. Harris of Minnesota and
Miss Mamie Gross, the latter having
been at her mothers bedside when
she passed away. Mrs. Gross is also
survived by three brothers, one OF
whom recently visited her at Miami
and also by a great many other close
relatives. While living in this city
Mrs. Gross lost her little nephew. AL
fred Blakeney, to whom she had been
a mother since the death OF his own
mother few years ago.
In their great sorrow DR.. Gross and
his family have the great love and
sympathy of their host of warm
friends throughout this city.
Although the message did not state
it is thought here that the body of
Mrs. Gross will be taken back to her
old home in Oklahoma for burial.

WHITcoMB RILEY's TRIBUTE TO
THE FLAG
The Name Of Old Glory

and the long blended ranks OF the
gray and the blue.
Who gave you. Old Glory, the name
that you bear
With such pride everywhere,
As you cast yourself free TO the rap
turous air,
And leap out full length as We're
wanting you to?
Who gave you the name, with the ring
( Of the same,
And the honor and fame so becoming
to you
Your stripes stroked in ripples Of
white and of red,
With your stars at their glittering
/ best overhead
By day or by night,
Their delightfulest light,
Laughing down from their little
square heaven of blue!
Who gave the name of Old Glory?
Say, who?
Who gave you the name of Old Glory?
The Old Banner Lifted! And Faltering
then in Vague Lisps and Whis-
pers Fell Silent Again.
Old Glory, speak out; we're asking
about
How un11 honnooad ~ fovcv mama
SO to say
That sounds so familiar and careless
and gay,
AS we cheer it and shout in our wild
breezy way
We-the CROWD-every man of US,
calling you that
We-TOm. Dick and Harry-each
swinging his hat and hurrahing
Old Glory, like you were our
kin,
When-LORD-we all know we're all
common as sin;
And yet it just seems like you humoT
US all
And watt us your thanks, as we hail
you and fall
Into line, with you over US, waving
Where our glorifed, sanctifed betters
have gone
And this is the reason we're wanting
to know
(And we're wanting it SOL
Where our fathers went we're willing
to go
Who gave you the name of Old Glory
Ohio
Who gave you the name of Old Glory?
The Old Flag unfurled with a bill
lowy thrill,
For an instant! Then wistfully sighed
and was still.
Old Glory, the story we're wanting to
hear
Is what the plain facts of your chris
tening we're
For your name-just to hear it,
Repeat it and cheer it, is thank to
the spirit
| AS salt as a tear
) And seeing you fly,
And tie boys marching by,
There's a shout in the throat and a
blur in the eye
! And an aching to live for you always
I or die,
! IT, dying, we still keep you waving
on high
And so. by our love.
! For you, floating above,
And the scars of all wars and me sor-
rows thereof
Are we thrilled at the name Of Ola
Glory?
Then the Old Banned Leaped. Like a
sail in the blast! And fiuttered
an audible answer at last
And it spake with shake Of the
voice, and it said
BY the driven snow white and the liv-
ing blood red
OF my bars and their heaven Of stars
overhead
BY the symbol conjoined of them all,
skyward cast,
AS I float at the steeple or flap at the
mast,
Or droOp over the sod where the long
grasses nod
My name is as old as the glory of
!, God
,. So I came by the name Of Old Glory.
