Carelessness in Every Sphere Hurts So While Our Country Is At War We Should Refrain From the
 Carelessness of Idle Gossip and It's Consequences?

One species of carelessness which is very reprehensible is in our speech; you know the old saying to the effect that God gave us two eyes, and two ears, that we might look and listen, but only one tongue that we might speak, because the tongue is an unruly member and hard to control and we don't need but one to govern the tongue, to keep from indulging in careless gossip about people
 the men who have gone to the front, the atrocities that are committed abroad, the war and rumors of war-these we should refrain from, because we never know where an idle word spoken may find root and what the dire consequences may be-

Al tIn lyric
 A high-class bill of Keith vaudeville en- tertained capacity audiences at the Lyric Monday evening and the programme can be classed with the highly pleasing bills that have been previously presented. l About as much comedy as possible is crammed in the delightful sketch Rock ing the Boat" presented by Eva Tay- Tor and company. Eva Taylor is a clev- CT actress and she Is ably supported | by capable company. This sketch keeps the audience in continuous uproar of laughter and is one of the best sketches seen at the Lyric in long time. The comedy of the piece revoives around life insurance policy and a husband of few weeks. There is plenty of oppor- tunity for comedy and Lawrence Grat- tan, author of the piece. overlooked noth- ing to make the plot attractive Grat- tan. in addition to being the author of the comedy, proves an able co-star with Miss Taylor.
 A pretty little titian haired woman, Helen Eley, proves one of the features of the bill and she is ably assisted by Jack Nesbitt at the plano. Both are cev- CT entertainers and they render pro- gramme of popular selecions. Miss Eley possesses an excellent voice and by her winning personality becomes an imme- diate favorite. This act s clever and is followed by showers or applause. Miss Eley is one of the bright spots of the bill.
 Asahi and his company of wonder workers mystify the audience with their clever illusions and they perform, some of the most amazing fears ever presented here. The performance reaches 1t cli- max in the human fountain trick. Every point to which Asahi points his finger immediately becomes bubbling spring of water

 A somewhat powerful indictment it would seem of fault that is practically universal and almost inevitably regarded as of very little consequences; it seems such very little thing in it's individual manifestations, but from time to time when it's consequences are brought home to us we realize with a kind of panic what it really involves, and then we re- solve to watch; to take care, butYas the shock wears off, we slip back again into the old carelessness.
 At all times, carelessness is responsi- ble, but just now, during the stressfuI days of the war, 1t is almost criminal and there could be no more patriotic service which we could render to our country than keeping a sharp lookout and checking at least our own share in the universal failing.
 It may occur to us at the first blush that our little pecadilloes are not going to destroy any men, to say nothing of more men than all the wars of the world" but how can we tell?
 Was it not the carelessness of one woman in setting a lanter at the heels of COW that caused the Chicago fire with it's consequent loss of life and property? She probably didn't foresee any harm which could ensue from such

 was decidedly worth while. Duffy made great getaway with his auditors His jokes were greatly enjoyed and his com edy was spontaneous and clean. The four Martells presented one of the greatest cycling acts ever seen in Bir-

 The Parshleys, two exceptionally we'll versed xylophonists, entertained the large audience with several selections that were warmly applauded.
