San Jose. Cal. is going to be the first town in the west to have com mun.ty educational theater. This pro- posed theater is not merely going to present plays for the benefit of the community, but 1t Is going to promote acting among the citizens themselves. It will afford an opportunity for every person from the tiniest tot to the old est citizen to gratify the desire to appear in the world of make-helieve. according to Miss Mabel l.. Dorsey. who started the idea.
 Miss Dorsey, graduate of leading school of music and expression. took up the question of establishing the school with members of the chamber of commerce of the city and it was enthusiastically received by them. The primary purpose of the theater is not to make actors. but to develop men and women as we'll as allow residents of the community to display their talents In singing, speaking and dancing.

YOUNG MANS OPPORTUNITY

There are from twelve to fourteen million bales of cotton raised annually. Every bale has to be classed from one to four times, seldom by the same man twice. Until the last five years, there have been no training schools in this line, consequently the supply Of men for this work is limited. Again, there are being erected in this country thou sands of warehouses, and every ware house requires two or three men to handle the cotton. The Commissioners of the Market and Warehouse Depart. ments has appointed a Board of Exam lners to examine applicants for license as pnhiic Coffon ClaS~erS Tn illS.

Mother Hubbard's Dog.

Mary's teacher one day asked her to draw a picture of Old Mother Hub bard's house, showing Old Mother Hubbard and her dog. Very quickly Mary drew the rough outlines of what was supposed to be house, placing the crude form of Old Mother Hub bard beside the door. Then, with self-satlsfied air, she handed her fln- ished product to the teacher. That Is very good, Mary" commented the teacher, as she looked at the draw ing. but where Is the dog?"
 "Oh, the dog is in the house," promptly replied Mary.

 Martha was now in her early thir. ties, and Ed was nearing middle age. They still kept company" as of old. Wheneve- there was a church social, o- . band concert, or g party, Ed vas always Martha's escort. People grew tired of nudg. ing each other, and wondering wben Ed and Martha were going to he married. The town accepted their perpetual courtship as an. other of those unexplainable things in life. I have just had a letter from there, and 1t brings me two pieces of news. The first Is that Sallie Morton. in an attack of pneu. monia, has gone to join her hus. band. The second Is that at last the wedding of Martha and Ed has been announced. My correspondent also gives me the following infor. nation, which may or may not sur prise you:
 You know I was always one of Martha's closest friends, although she was never the kind of girl to be demonstrative in her affection. Well, she has told me the reason why she and Ed were never mar ried before. When her father died, she was left with her mother, you remember. There was no place where she could be sent-no one else to look after her, or to bear with her spells of temper. Ed re. fused fiatly to have her with him, and I don't blame him, after the way Mrs. Morton had insulted him every time he came to the house. But he told Martha he would pay for her mothers support in some home, a place like the Odd Fellows have, you know. He had just in. herited a couple of thousand dol. lars from an uncle, and offered to give Martha all of 1t for her moth CTS care.
 T don't believe a girl was ever placed in such position before. Martha knew If her mother went among strangers, 1t would mean trouble and annoyance, and con. stant series of heart-aches for her until death would be welcome. And, after all. in spite of all her faults and failings, she was still her mother-the woman who had offered her own life to bring her child into the world Martha couldn't forget that Sallie Morton the nagging. fault-finding pest. as the neighbors called her-was her mother-and that as daughter her duty first was to her mother.
 "So she refused Eds offer, and for twelve years put away from her the dream of love and her own home. so that she might be near her mother and do what she could to make her last years pleasant. Ed derstood-although I don't think he ever said much, and some. how I think they are going to be all the happier now because of what Martha has done, and because of her renunciation-for 1t is what l call real renunciation, don't you? Although I know that I would never have had the strength and courage and patience to do it If had been in Martha's place!"
 I tucked the letter away in my drawer, for 1t is the kind like to keep. That is one of the many reasons why smile when l hear people talk about heroism-the heroism of the trenches and battle field. The other kind of heroism- the humble, everyday heroism, is never talked about. And. for my part, think it is the hardest kind of heroism. for 1t isn't very en- couraging to be a heroine when nobody knows you are one but yourself! Try it-and see. . (59)

THEIR LUCK HELD
Men Evidently Not Fated to Die
 on GaI|oWS.
In the One Case It Would Almost Seem as if Providence Had Intervened to Prevent hideous Case of
 Injustice.

Criminological history unfolds some interesting and curious "escapes" from the gallows. In Sussex, England, man was found guilty of murder by a jury which did not take five minutes in which to consider its verdict Twice he stood on the death-trap of the gallows, on each occasion the lever failed to release the trap. An indig nant country called for his reprieve, which was granted. It was afterward discovered that the gallows, which was made of wood in those days, had swol- len by rain that fell heavily on both the nights preceding the dates fixed by the sheriff for the execution.
 But here is the case of a man who r not only was saved from the gallows, but from hearing his death sentence passed by the judge! A man was charged at the Old Bailey with a pe- culiarly atrocious crime. The jury sent in word from their retiring room that they were unable to agree upon a verdict, and were escorted to the London coffee house on Ludgate hill, there to be locked up without food, fire or light" until they had decided upon unanimous verdict.
 Eleven out of the dozen were in fav- or of verdict of guilty" but the foreman of the jury, Mir. James Sim mer. had rooted objection to capital punishment. He did not believe in the innocence of the man, but he refused to consent to verdict which would send the man to the gallows.
 It was Saturday afternoon when the jury was locked up. By dawn next day six of the jurymen, overcome by discomfort and lack of food, were willing 10 vote Not guilty" Toward the afternoon of Sunday the foreman, act,lated by feelings of compassion, ad- dressed his fellow-sufferers as follows:
 "l asa willing to make you a sport Ing offer and leave the decision as to the gn II or innoncence of the poor wretch in Newgate to chance. Ob- serve shall balance the poker up right in front of the empty grate. l shall thrn slowly count One! two three, You will range yourselves, half your number on either side, two yards q ny. At the word three" we shall iurlp. If the poker falls to the side of the opposition I shall give In to your verdict of guilty hut if 1t comes down on my side you will join me in returning a verdict of not gull ty-One! two! three!"
 At the word three" the twelve men jumped for all they were worth. The poker fell with a chatter to the side of the foreman The warders were summoned. and the jurors we! Q escort ed back to the old Bailey, re-entered the jury box and gave their verdict.
 The judge, who had provided him. self with the ominous black cap. ap- peared completely paralyzed with astonishment on hearing the announce ment.
 Twenty years later a convict at Portland was fatally injured by the premature explosion of a cartridge. Be fore he died he confessed to being gull ty of the crime for which the inno- cent man was arraigned at the Old Bailey 20 years before, and was only saved in the manner described, by the fall of the poker toward the foreman of the iury

LEAGUE AND IRISH QUESTIONS BOTHER
Committee Working to Get Satis-
 factory Platform -

Chicago, June 9.-Final sifting of issues for the republican national platform began today in a special sub-com mittee of 13 while the re- mainder of the full resolutions com mittee of 53' continued to hold open houss to hear last minute suggcs- tions and advice.
 The league of nations question. conceded to be the hardest nut still uncracked by the platform workers, was the center of speculation every where as tho subcommittee began its deliberations and delegates scanned carefully but without final conclu- sions the makeup of the bakers dozen entrusted with the real job of writing the league plank. It in- cluded two senators irreconcilably opposed to the treaty. two senators who voted for it with reservations. and other men whose attitude has been less clearly defined.
 On the program of the hearings before the full committee were sev- eral events regarded as likely to hold the interest of the members and per haps start some new rows among them. Included in those who ware to appear during the day were Sam uel Gompers. president of the Am erican Federation of Labor who brought with him some suggested la- bor blanks and a delegation headed by Frank T.. Walsh. asking that the party declare for recognition of the Irish republic
 The subcommittee has for its chairman Senator Watson of Indiana who also is chairman Of the resolu- tions committed. He is understood to have prepared a league plank fashioned in part after that adopted by Indiana republicans. but Senator Boph of Idaho. aided by Senator McCor mick Of Illinois is expected to offer an amendment designed to make the declaration nearly coincide with the views of the treaty irreconcilables. The fourth senator at the sub-com- mittee table is Smoot of Utah who with Senator Watson voted for rati- fication of the treaty with reserva- tions.
