 He couldn't understand it, he said. The young women of society go to fin- ishing schools, they have in sequence nurses goverhesses, tutors and personal maids. They ride, drive, swim, play violent games and pet in moderation. They acquire a line of mechanical pratt tie which sounds lively but isn't.

 Will Rogers had a similar experience. His monologue depends on the intelli- gence of his auditors, and to very great extent on their acquaintance with current events. If they do not read the days newspapers he's bust.
 "I made my talk before dinner given by a real leader of New York so- ,ciety," said he, "and it flattened like spilled mush. I thought that either the monologue or my manner of deliver ing it was wrong. But the next night I did the same thing, in the same way, before the convicts at Sing Sing, and it went with roar. Up at Sing Sing they read the papers"

 The go-see-um guides yowl that every night beside their buses on Broadway They always catch crowd, too. If you happen to be on Mott of Pell street about midnight you'll see a crowd of earnest seekers stepping on each others heels while Chinatown grins. Not one of them gets to see the real show. Of course, there isn't any real show in Chinatown: now, any more than there is in San Francisco's Barbray Coast. Progress and prohibition have spilled the beans of spectacle.
 But if, you're wise you'll visit Min CTS theatre on the Bowery. The great men and women of day before yesterday played there. A little later it became the home of the real. roaring melo- drama. Then it had intervals of expe- riment, and some of the theatrical finds of the present generation were made upon it's dingy boards.

st. Patrick, Ireland's patron saint
was born March II. 396 and exactly
144O years later along came Martin
Carroll and his twin brother Patrick,
both sons of the old Sod.
OF the saint, of Ireland and of the
twin Patrick. this tale has little to do.
It's of Martin himself we would be
telling you of, and by the same token
it's no fairy story either. Many Au-
gusta people know him by name and
to many, many more his is familiar
figure on the streets of the Capital
City.
Yesterday, Martin Carroll attained
the age of four score and eight and
it's wishing chin many more, his
friends are saying. Truth be, he
looks a score of years younger and
his CHEEKY, ruddy countenance sans
wrinkles, sans beard. bellies the scroll
of time. Silvered though be his locks
yet erect is his figure and the cane
that he carries is more of a swagger
stick than an aid to walking.
Martin now rubs elbows with land
lubbers, but for over 60 years he was
n tar of the bounding main and holds
a love of the sea that is touching.
There is pathos n"his voice and a
longing in his eye when he warns to
the subject nearest his heart.
The parents of Martin and Patrick
emigrated to this country in 1S43,
settling in the town Of Damariscotta
and later moving to East PittSton,
When lads Of Ii the twins ran away
to sea and were shipmates for many
years. They voyaged to all parts Of
the globe, turning the Horn several
times and meeting with adventures of
all sorts.
Loss of the ship they We're sailing
in was the means of separatin them
Both narrowly escaped death and
they were forced to seek berths in
other ships. They were unable to
ship together and went their separate
ways. During the CIVIL War both
were on ships Of the Merchant Ma
rine engaged in carving food and
supplies for the Northern army, and
seldom saw each other. Soon after
the war Martin abandoned the sail-
ing vessel for a berth on a steamer
and later entered the service of the
steamboat company operating be-
tween Kennebec river points and Bos-
ton. Patrick went to the Pacific
coast where he became owner in a
towboat company. He died in Seat
tie about three years ago.
Those who are familiar with
steamhoating on the Kennebec river
recall Martin as he was on that run
for over 35 years holding the posi-
ton of bow watch. a post requiring
reliability and alertness as well as 4
knowledge of t river and conditions
on the ocean course. Praise he re-
reived aplenty dur ~ his long SER
vice and loath indeed was he when

OF natural Irish wit Martin has an
ample fund and added to this Is the
ability to spin yarns of the sea a
combination that is both amusing and
instructive to the listener. For he has
been In many ports and mingled with
many nationalities. He knows OF

they played in the days of old. Like

comes a twinkle in his eye when tales
of buccaneer days are in order.
At the home of his son, Martin, Jr..
