TENDER is without slgnltlcance.
Usually, you can look for q let.
down after q BAN club has won
its pennant and has nothing on its
mind except the rop Of Its head,
This outfit, however, has gone
about the matter so Thoroughly
that a. lot OF people are beginning
TO wonder whether the let-down will
let no In time for the series. The
Cubs have stopped hitting.
They couldn't get any pitching
back around September 10 when
the pennsnt was theirs FIR the
asking They couldn't get the
Dodgers and Giants out at that
time and in consequence. they
weren't able to win the decisive
game of the race. The Pirates had
to lose 1t. Since then. the pitch
ing has come back only to have
the teams punch falter.
IN admit that the silly hook
ing schedule hasn't given the
Cubs much nOurishment during
the last two weeks. They have
played only eight games since
September 10 and none OF fhese
were of the slightest tmpOr-
"
champion should have wen
more than two Of them.
The Athletics, for example, have
been equally carefree In the matter
of responsibility and have won
seven out Of IL during the same
period, They haven't been burst
ing a collective bosom but the win
ming habit still Is there and 1t Is
thing You can't laugh off In a
high falsetto. They have had their
punchless moments. too. Crowder
gave them two hits In the middle
of last month and Ruffing and
CASTOR shut them out the other
day. But mostly the punch mas
held up nicely.
ON the other hand, the last time
the Cubs looked like the Cubs was
In that double header they blew to
the Dodgers on September IT,. They
hit like lot of crack men that
day but the pitchers failed them.
Two DAYS before, they made Is
runs and Is hits against half OF
the Dodger staff.
On the eighteenth, Hubbel, q
left handler, beat them. Fitzsim-
mons and Scott stopped them with
Z hits on the twenty.second and
the other day a. kid by the name
Of Frey, with the assistance OF
Jake May. held them to a single
run.

Wilson In there leveling every
time out In the hope OF getting
somewhere in the home run
race. ,...
Anyhow, ! notice that the club
that happens to be going we'll, as
1t approaches the series, is the
club that usually wins the gum
Arabic. The 1914 Braves were an
excellent example. They had to
race right up to the line in order
TO keep the Giants away. whereas
the Athletics couldn't win q ball
game in September and, as far as
that series is concerned, they
haven't won one yet.
The case Is typical Study the
pre-series pace Of the various con-
tenders of other years and, with
few xceptions---notably the Yankees
OF last year-the club that can win
Its ball games in the last two
weeks is the one that forgets to

PAGEANTRY OF SHAKESPEAREAN
DRAMA COLORFULLY INTERPRETED
BY TEN THOUSAND CLUE PLAYERS

Mrs. Hugh Osborne read a small part
well and Mrs. \. A. Contos as Crom-
well, servant to Cardinal Wolsey ac-
quilted herself with credit.
Mrs. Jessie 7. Hatch was rever-
end scribe in the trial scene.
Of a different cast were charac-
tcrs in the "Twelfth Night scenes,
clevcrly introduced as a play within
the play. Explanatory material was
introduced in a prologue, written in
the Shakespearean manner by Mrs.
HickcoX, and presented with light
some humor by Mrs. \. y. Contos,
who. in the parti-colored garb of a
fool, commanded the players, set the
stage and conducted the perform
ancc.
Striking and beautiful was Mrs.
J.W. Glassford as Olivia, who, in
gown and veil of black, mourncd for
her brother, and would not hear her
suitor.
Mrs. f. j. Mack, as Orsino,
Duke of Illyria was the romantic
lover, reading her poetic lines with
gratifying fervor.
\ dainty maid was the shipwrcck-
ed Viola, played by Mrs. \. B.
Hanson, and in her boy's attire as
page to the Duke Orsino was de-
lightful figure of romantic comedy.
Feste, a clown, was most amusing
ly interpreted by Mrs. Hugh T. Os-
borne and with Mrs. NJ. J. Dowd, the
pert Maria, contributed a sparkle of
sprightly comedy.
Incidental songs, sung in both
Henry VIII and "Twelfth Night
by Mrs. Osborne added much to the
effectiveness of the performance.
Trumpet laufarcs were played by
Addison Carter.
Mrs. Hickcox, who is teacher of
the Shakespeare classes as well as
director of the performance, gave
brief explanatory remarks concern
ing the historic background of the
play preceding the performance. Al
the close of the production, after
the actors had assembled upon the
stage for a final curtain, the per
formers brought Mrs. HickcoX from
the wings to receive a basket of
roses, as a slight tribute to the es-
tecm in which she is held by her
pupils.
Coffee and cake served by bevy
of Young girls, completed the even
ing's entertainment Mrs. Arthur
Edgar was in charge of refresh
ments, assisted by Mrs. Ray Edgar
and Mrs. Z. NJ. Maurer. The young
ladies who served were Misses Ro-
maine Richmond, Sue Pope, Maurine
Mastick, Bertha Fyock, Violet Mad
dux and Doris Worley.

One of the most delightful of the
Shakespeare sections s dramatic pro
grams took place last night before
members and friends of Woman 5
Ten Thousand club, when scenes
from Henry VIII pna "Twelfth
Night" were presented under the di-
rection of Mrs. Ross T. HickcoN.
Due to the careful training by
Mrs. Hickcox, the play moved off in
the measured Shakespearean rhythm,
smoothly, with each picture careful
ly composed and without the usual
shifting and restless movement of
amateur work. Characters were well
east and costuming was unusually
effective, developed in the spirit of
the famous Holbein portraits of
Henry VIII and his contemporaries.
A simply arranged stage, hung
with Turkish rugs and tapestries
was set, for the most part, by the
characters in the play, the curtain
being lowered but once, for the trial
scene. This simple treatment added
dignity to the performance and was
in keeping with Shakespearean
drama.
Mrs. +. d. Jacobs, playing the
part of Cardinal Wolsey showed sur
prising power and grasp of the Graf
ty, ambitious priest she portrayed.
Her reading of the lines rose to a
genuine emotional climax in the
final scene where Wolsey S downfall
is accomplished.
A beautiful and tortured queen
was Mrs. ID. B. Roberts and ncr art
full blending of pride, righteous
anger and humble supplication made
of Queen katherine a noble and ap-
pealing figure.
AS foil for these characters the
bluff King Hal, portrayed by Mrs.
w. c. Costello, was properly pom
pous and choleric, and proved fat
and mirth-provoking figure.
Demonstrating considerable versa
tility in dual role, Mrs. c. T..
Sones played first, Sir Thomas
Lowell, a gallant lord of the king S
court and conspirator against VOL
sey, and was again seen as Cardinal
Campeius, cmmissary from the Pope
to Henry's court, interpreting both
parts effectively.
An important member of the east
was Mrs. c. l.. Childers, who, in the
part of the Lord Cham berlain, tied
the play together, engineering Cardi-
nal Wolsey s entertainment, bring
ing messages, introducing characters
and acting as court crier and later
as conspirator to the downfall of
Wolsey. All these functions she per-
formed with brisk case.
A fresh and fair Anne Bullcn was
Mrs. C. g. Mousseau, a dainty and
wistful figure in her gown of white
and orange, an unwilling object OF
the amours of king.
Clever IN her Interpretation of the
character part of an old woman,
friend of Anne Bullen, Mrs. {. ".
Maitland gave her spicy lines with

More or Less True

Her husband is the only mistake many married woman ever ad- mits she has made.
 Just offhand our guess is that the happiest homes are those where the family wouldn't recognize a social error if they met it.
 The actual chemical value of the human body may be only 94 cents as claimed, but the reason we have poorhouses, booby matches and jails is because when it is decorated with clothes it so often has cost small fortune-though even then it often looks more like 30 cents than a million dollars.
 Now and then you see a man and his wife together and your i'm pulse is to address her, instead of him, as MT.
 After he has become all fed up on married restraint it gets mans goat to have to put up with a wife who is as clinging as a wet hair.

NO RACE IN LITERATURE.

Perhaps there is no country where race of author ship locale of books counts for less in literature than in the United States. No matter how high the standard of American authorship may become it always has to meet the competition of foreign writ CTS for popularity That may account in part for the fine grade Of books that being turned out by American writers and publshers-a grade that is so high that American literature was recently put at the head of the list by the Prime Minister of England
 Illustrating the disposition or the omnivorous American readers to choose books regardless of the of the author the best seller in fiction in the United States right is "Peder Victorious" by Dr. O. E. Rolvaag and in non-fiction books it is Elizabeth and Essex by Lytton Strachey While Dr. Rovaag is American citizen he lived in Norway until he twenty and went back there to take his advanced college degrees after being gradu ated as Bachelor of Arts at St. Olaf College, St Olaf, Minn. He is professor of Norwegian literature at St. Olaf. He writes his books in the Norwegian language and then assists in trans lating them into English. He is really master of both English and Norwegian.
 "Peder Victorious" is the story of American born children of Norwegian immigrants It is sequel of Giants in the Earth" by the same author the tale of Norwegian settlers on a Dakota prairie Both are wonderful books It is easy to predict that they will remain with and become classics
 Elizabeth and Essex" by Lytton Strachey fa- nous author of the life of Queen Victoria and other historical books is of course thoroughly Eng fish and discusses the Elizabethan period in a manner that makes Strachey's books enduring con- tributions to the classics
 Old Pybus," by Warwick Deepng, which ranks as the second best seller among novels in the United States, is English story by an English man It, like Dr Rolvaags books is real literature DxrI, c,rt114 acters in fiction
 Among the ten best fiction sellers we have four American writers, four English, one Norwegian and one German-the latter, Arnold zweg, author of the German-Russian story, "The Case of Sergeant Grscha,' one of the best of all the war yarns.

What have learned is that there is tremendous sweep of Alaska lying far outside the polar regions, with temperatures and cli- mate as inviting as elsewhere on the Pacific Coast
 MT Average Citizen of the Unit ed States knows but little of Alas ka except her fisheries and her mines. and they gain the idea that Alaska is fit only for exploitation at the hands of outside capital, which is constantly taking toll. l have found that that is not entire ly true.

People of Country Need to Know Facts About Real
 Alaska, Says Hunt
5ftlfENN

Educate the people of the Unit ed States about the real Alaska, is the advice of c. B. Hunt, Spokane newspaper man, who is visiting Ju- neau for few days. He has re- gently visited points as far west as Kodiak and into the Matanuska Valley.
 MT. Hunt is enjoying his trip immensely and satisfying a desire of 50 years standing.
 Not As Painted
 "On one brief trip along your shores" MT Hunt said, my eye has been dazzled by as many en- chanting views as there are facets cut by the accomplished lapidary upon the face of a precious stone. And because each facet has its own individual luster, it seems fool ish for one-tripper to try to make any sensible comment upon Alaska
 My original conception of Alas ka was that of a cold, majestic monument, whose draperies were gelid with Arctic waters which somehow had escaped being frozen solid. It is an idea quite generally shared even by people on the At lantic seaboard who ought to know better. They are not to be blam- ed. however, if Alaskans load up your tourists with art trophies set ~---a .~4.n dog teams speeding over snowy wastes, men and women clothed from toetip to topknot with gleaming furs, mountains thrusting themselves skyward from unknown depths of snow.
