BOOST YOUR TOWN.

An ideal citizen is one who sees
something good in his town and
spreads the good news abroad that
others may benefit therefrom
Of conrse there are other side lights
to the ideal citizen, but the quality OF
loyalty is one which produces tangi-
BILE results.
There are three distinct attitudes
which a person may assume toward
the community which houses and feeds
him-to boost, to remain quiescent,
or to knock.
The booster pushes his town along.
the quiescent citizen lulls it to sleep,
and the knocker helps to put it out OF
business.
Which are you?
Perhaps you have never given it q
thought. you may not realize your
self which you are-but your neigh
pors all know. They have you &C
curateIy catalogued according to your
deserts.
If YOU are booster, they admire
you; if you are quiesceut, they wond u
when you will emerge from your slum
Der; and if you are a knocker, they
yearn for the day when you will fold
your tent and silently fade away.
Boost the home town, and it's citi
zens will boost you
KNOCK it and you knock yourself
infinitely more.

and forgiving Antoninus Plus, and when he
neard of the Imprisonment of Peregrinus
and the reason for it, he ordered him to be
released. The authorities however, deemed
it for the best interest of the city to expel
him the moment he was released.
He next appeared in Greece, where he
taught philosophy at Athens and gathered
a great number of students, among whom
was the famous Aulus Gallius, who has left
US a highly favorable account of Peregrinus.
But again the itch to thrust himself into
public notice got him into trouble. His
attacks upon some of the most prominent and
best-liked men, both Athenian and Roman,
brought him so much unpopularity instead
of the applause which he had expected, that
he decided to take unheard- of means to re
cover popularity. He announced that, on the
occasion of the celebration Of the Olympian
games, in the year 165, he would incinerate
himself on pyre, in full view of the public.
In addition to the many thousands of
persons who had come from every part or
Greece to take part in or to attend the
Olympic sports, many other thousands came
from other countries, drawn by Peregrinus's
announcement.
He did not disappoint them. Lucian. the
famous author of Dialogues of the Dead"
was present and has leftsa description of
the gruesome event.

TT WAS, on another. first night, at the
=. Adelphis Theatre in the. Strand, when
a play failed to please, that the already es-
tablished playwright, now Sir Arthur Pinero,
whose wife, Myra Holme (who had charmed
in ''The Colonel" presented at the Prince
Of Wales Theatre with Charles Coghlan as
the hero) was subjected to jeering, arose in
the stalls and declared to those near him he
could no longer endure the sight of his wife
agonized before the footlights, Despite her
talent, she retired from the stage.
But it was on the occasion of the London
production of Maurice Barrymore's play Of
"Nadjezda, written for and successfully
produced by Madam Modjeska in this coun-
try-a thrilling drama which the author de-
clared furnished Sardou with suggestions for
LA Tosca," afterward written for Sarah
Bernhardt by the master French drama
tist-that the hooligans ofsthe gallery let
themselves 70 with a vengeance. That

was i'll advised, as that act should take place
in shadows illuminated only by candles.
A storm of derision broke forth from the
gallery over the antagonistic lower parts Of
the house as this act proceeded, and before
its conclusion the unnerved actress had COM
pletely broken down. A desperate call for
the author disclosed Emily Rigl convulsed
with sobs, with head bowed before the in
sensate storm Of ridicule.
''Is this the way they treat women on the
London stage when they fail to please or the
play goes wrong? Me for home," said a
young American actress, who, however, re-
manned to charm at the Criterion Theatre.
In this case a cabal against the imported
actress, not the play, ruined the per-
formance. There was nothing the matter
with ''Nadjezda" nor was there anything
the matter with Emily Rigl, except, alas the
stage fright into which her sensitive nature
had been plunged by the hostility of the
audience. Driven into hysteria and literally
carried from the theatre, she was the victim
Of cruel women and still more brutal men.

the temper of the people so hostile that he
concluded that it would be wisest to make
a virtue of necessity. Accordingly, he gave
his inheritance to the municipality of Parium
and went away to renew his career of wan
dering.
Once more he sought to attain distinction
among the Christians. but was detected in
an act of proclamation of the rites of the
church, and was put under the ban of ex
communication.
He reached Egypt after a while and there

The Cynics, whose name is derived from
the Greek word which means dog" were
so-called on account of their homeless, dog
like life and the snarling manner which they
displayed toward every foible, failing or
vice in whomsoever they found it. Agathob-
ulus evidently discerned the true reason for
Peregrinus's wish to become a Cynic-.
namely an urge to get into the limelight; and
accordingly gave him no encourasement at
all. On the contrary, he "snarled' at Pere-
grinus so yiciously that the latter quit Egypt
and went to Rome, designing to put the
Cynic manners into practice there.
One of the first persons whom he singled
out for his invective was the emperor, and

him the emperor was the mild, kind hearted

NNE Of the most amazing-perhaps the
" most amazing-instance of vanity in all
history is that Of Peregrinus Proteus, cynic
philosopher Of the second century of the
Christian era who, in order to be in the
''limelight, had himself burned to death
in public square.
Peregrinus had spent an eventful life,
in which crime was believed to have played
n, less a part than religious fanaticism. He
was born at Parium in Mysia, and, when
still a boy, was suspected of having muir
dered his own father. To escape arrest
h. went to Palestine, where he ingratiated
himself with the Christians and in time be-
came the virtual head of their community.
So inordinate was his creving for' being

II. he went to extremes of fanaticisn in his
conduct, and was locked up by order of
the governor Of Syria.
The governor, finding that imprisonment
only seemed to whet the. mans fanaticism,
concluded that he best thing, after all. was
to allow him to 90 free, as he might other
wise come to be regarded as martyr.
He now returned to Parium and claimed
his fathers estate; but the suspicion which
had rested upon him in regard to his fathers
death had not yet sabsided aaa he found

The manifestation against the expensively
arrayed Nine. Sorel at the Comedie Fran
caise recently is nothing compared to the
scene at the old Opera Comique on the night
when poor little Marie Van Zandt was
hooted when it was perceived that she had
evidently been dining out" not wisely,
but too well-as a matter Of fact, had been
30 indiscreet as to take q little champagne
on an empty stomach. Certainly the scene
at the Gymnase Theatre, when q drama
tization of Daudet's ''Sapho" was produced
there, was very boisterous indeed and when
Madame Jane Hading as the heroine threw
out the lovers trunk and told Jean, played
by Damala, sfterward the husband Of the
divine Sarah B., that he could follow it.
this realistic infraction Of the traditions Of
"Our Ladies' Theatre" as the Gymnase
was known, provoked storm of hisses
These were not duplicated in this coun-
try when Olga Nethersole savored the story
dedicated by Daudet to his sons when they
attained their majority with kiss that on
the stage of Paris would have been debarred
from leading theatre and confined to the
merry Palais Royal and the Varieties buf-
foonery, if even allowed there at that period,
even in Paris. A kiss on the lips on the
French stage was not introduced till George
Obnet's Serge Famine" appeared as the
successor of the chaste ''Maitre de FORCES"
OF course, the days when Marie Seebach
excelled in German tragedy plays, ranging
from Mary Stuart" to Love and In
tfigue," and Wachtel sang '"The Position
Of Lonjumeau'' in German are not likely to
be duplicated for long time to come. In
general, with the exception of the French
theatre, our public is relying on either our
own actors or those who are American by
adoption. The stage has seldom been so rich
in talent as of recent years, and our Ameri-
can stars and our English visitors cultivate
the gentle art of reciprocity.
