Behind the Actors Mask.

The rapidly increasing number of
divorces among moving picture actors
and actresses is source of regret to the
public. The millions of people who fire.
quent the picture theatres learn TO know
and TO like the persons who appear upon
the screen, and they love TO imagine that
in real life they are as good and true as in
the characters they portray. They do not
wish the mask torn away from their favor
ties by unpleasant announcements of
domestic troubles
Whatever may be the cause Of the high
percentage of divorces among prominent
movie" stars, the fact is reacting un-
favorably upon the profession. When once
a favorite actress appears in the divorce
court. the old deception has gone. and she
loses much of her power to charm. Per-
haps there is in the life of the sectors some
thing which tends to domestic unhap-
piness, but the pubic would like TO imagine
the frequency with which they have Of
late had recourse TO the courts but a
chance condition which is not apt to con-

HE GOETH BY ME,
AND SEE HIM MOTT

Who knows His name? Himself ha ii
written it
In radiant light against an awful sky,
Where bleaching sands their changing
forces pit
Against the towering waves that swell
and die,
In crystal snow, in globes of dew and
A Name is there, but who can read it
plain?
Thunders and hghtnings pass me by; no
length
OF human wisdom fathoms their design
Seeds fall and dream themselves into the
strength,
The soaring peace, of steadfast oak and
pine.
A flash! and living light has felled their
pridel
His Sign was here, but He---where does He
hide?
When Greed and Malice wage their waste
< full war
Within the frail and foolish hearts of
men,
And, somehow, latent Good comes to the
fore,
And Truth, unconquered, mounts her
throne again,
Here, too, He passed, and made His
presence felt,
Though men had asked with tears where
Justice dweltl
His truth found voice when waking souls
emerged
From inarticulate, unthinking state;
HIS wisdom through their ignorances
surged
And led their strivings to worthy fate;
Truth Observation-Disclosures these His
Will proclaim

GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTY.

BE GREAT OF HEART.

BE great of hcartl No fairer greatness
lies
In skill's domain or any golden prize,
Fame hath no worth on mortals 70 be-
stow
Like that which true and gentle people
know.
BE great Of heart Too big for petty hate,
For narrow purpose or restricted state,
Welcome the stranger and be fan to foe,
Skill hath no greater splendor TO bestow.
Be great of heart Neiphbor and friend
TO all,
Stand by the weaker brother lest he fall,
Give TO the poorer, soothe the saddsr
breast,
This is true greatness living 10 its best.
Be great OF heart One who mems worth
exalfs
And scorns to mark their trivial sins and
faults,
There is no greater office TO life's end
With more rewards than that of just a

committee TO read the unions platform of

publican campaign this year are ominous-

when they fail The streets are
scenes of danger, where speed laws
wont stay put, and heaven help

driver will promptly climb his frame,
and will not care silver how many

Automobiles were responsible for %
OF the 66 accidents in the State last week,
and 22 of the miehaps caused by autoists
occurred in this city. While the motor
cars are responsible for more accidents
than any other cause, there are doubtless
more than three times more risks from
automobiles than from almost all other
causes combined. if the trolley cars be ex-
ccpted. As there was only one trolley
mishap, the fact may be taken as evidence
that with careful driving and at less speed
the automobile accidents here might be
greatly reduced.

Is This a "yeiled Threat"

The Sussex Republican Of Georgetown
was among the influences that opposed the
denomination of Representative Caleb r..
Layton. and therefore among those who
were deceived and defrauded when the
Sussex county delegates TO the State
convention who had been elected TO
oppose Layton abandoned their opposi-
ton and consented TO his denomination.
In its current issue it makes favorable
mention Of the respective nominees on the
Republican State ticket with the excep-
ton of Layton, whom it disposes of with
the curt announcement: Congressman
Layton was renominated."
But at the conclusion Of its editorial the
Sussex Republican refers somewhat vague
" to the address of Chairman Richards 10
the convention. in the course Of which he
warmly praised the administration OF
Governor Townsend, and said he had
placed the Republican standard high
above the political sordidness which IN
fuences some, and the Republicans should
heed his truthful and prophetic words. =
Then the Sussex Republican adds: This
is Republican year and every worthy
and deserving nominee will undoubtedly
receive the whole-hearted support Of
every Republican
From which it may naturally be in
ferred that in the opinion of this exponent
Of the majority faction of Sussex county
Republicanism. Congressman Layton is
not a worthy and deserving nominee" "
and assuredly will not receive the whole
hearted support of every Republican"
