"The Missouri Girl” Coining Soon.

The character of “Zeke Dobson,” the country boy in 'The Missouri Girl,” is one of unique conception. Among the many impersonations of the rural types offered to the theatregoing public, there are but few limited cases where the author has even attempted to portray this interesting character as he is seen in real life. The stage character of the farmer is so thoroughly Impressed on our minds that it is almost impossible for us to imagine a rural play without the usual impossible characters, that are, in many eases, a serious drawback to an otherwise good Play. “ZekV as played by the droll comedian, Mr. Ed Mack, Is a true portrayal of an honest, bright, intelligent country boy; his dialect and actions are both peculiar and droll and he says and does what is AaturaL When in the city he makes ludicrous mistakes and his idea of “city folks” and the remarks he makes about them are extremely comical, but at the same time true to life. ‘The Missouri Girl” will be seen at the Ellis Theatre on August 5, 1913, .

GENESIS OF GENIUS.

la a paper ugfthe “Genesis of Genius’* read before the recent International Congress on Psychiatry at Amsterdam. De. G. Rabinovttah cd Nev York Called attention •0 the romarkabte fact that osuapaswttvety few gentaeee have beta the firstborn ad their parents. In a study sd seventy-four biographies of great men and women—poeta, writers, prttttotaMi palntoHi and mits*efoni "eke found bat ten firstborn. Among fuetydwo writers and posts but rtx were the eldest children; sovsntssn painters but one was the firstborn of his mother (he was a natural child; among fifteen asnrictaas thane woso only two firstNot only woso these men of genius not the firstborn, in % very largo number of oboes they were the youngest of the family. Tkub Ooleridge was the test of thirteen children. Jamas Fenlmore Oeoper was the eleventh of twelve children, Washington Irving was the last of eleven. Balzac the last of three, George Elliot the last of four, Napoison was the eighth, and probably the last; Daniel Webstar the last of seven. Benjamin Franklin was the last of seventeen and thslast born of the last born for several generations, Rembrandt was the' last of six children, Rubens the last of seven. Sir Edwin Landseer the fifth of seven children; Josuha Reynolds was the seventh child of bls parents, Cart Marta Weber the ninth, Richard Wagner the last of seven, MoBart the last of seven, Schumann the last of five, Schubert the thirteenth of fourteen. The parents, therefore, of great men were for the most part of a ripe age at the time of the conception of the latter; that is to say, the cellular potentiality of the parents was than at its maximum from the mental as well as tho physical point at view.

THE VARIETIES OF YPSILANTI.

Curious postal officers in Michigan and Washington have been keeping for yean past a record of the different ways Ypsilanti has been ■polled on mall matter, according to the Detroit Free Press, and by comparing the notes they have preserved a Hat of veritable ortographta wondon has been compiled. This list easily establishes the claim that ■sore different ways for spelling Ypsilanti have been devised than ter spelling any other geographical name In America. In all no lees than BTB distinct ways of spelling the name have been counted, and it is probable that the greater number, perhaps all, have been used in good faith by persons who actually believed that the orthographic combinations reproduced were the correct combinations for representing Ypsilanti on the written or printed page. Every letter la the alphabet except “R” has been used as the initial letter of the name, though why so obvious a combination as Rypeilanti should bo neglected when others much less obvious have been employed is difficult to explain. As a matter of fact, the variations in the spelling are chiefly confined to the first syllable, "Y" being a letter lacking or having only an indifferent standing in many foreign languages. Tipsy Lanti and Zyp Silanti are mot with, and among the spellings furthest away from the accepted and official standard are Whypsorlanter and Hipasalandder.

New York and other States have law against trapexe and tight-rope performances without the safeguard of natal says a writer in Leslie’s Weekly, hut so far as wo know there la aa yet no statute prohibiting the useless risk of Ute Involved tn parachute-drops from balloons.

Thome: LIFE. ♦ ♦ ♦ v| BY DR. ALBERT FITCH. ♦♦ ♦ v Text—Enter ye In at tho narrow gate; for wide Is the gate and broad le the way that leadeth to destruction; and many there are who enter by If How narrow Is the gate and straight Is tho way which leadeth to life, and few there are who find IL ' ,

These are the words of Jesus. They are distinguished by their impressive severity. There are always people who are per verse and discontented, and who take no interest in these words, and are in the nabit of rejecting them as absolutely inconsistent with their idea of A Christian life. You and I are the children of the twentieth century; that is to say, we are an easy-going, pleasure-loving generation, and we receive these words,' for the most part, if we receive them at all, with an inner prejudice and a definite Irrellgion. They carry with them a message that provokes a challenge from our twentieth century civilization; they seem to set forth a reflection oh the world from the point of view of the new idea, as against the admirable old Idea of a past generation, the deeply rooted institution of human nature. It is no wonder' that men balk at this idea, when it seems to be out of harmony with present day twentieth century life.

. / . ..... B, Stones don’t roll up hill. They always take th® easy path of rolling down hill; a shot does not leave the gun by the butt end, but goes right out at the mouth of the barret It takes the way of easiest resistance. So the Scripture tells us to follow the straight path which leadeth to glory. Some Christians never reach the greatest happiness, because they always follow the lines of least resistance—the lines of no resistance. They are living what they think is the perfect life. Is not that the rule of all human development; the survival of the fittest The strong man dominates the weak man, and he must give In. \ ' Read your history and see the nations and the men who have fallen because they have followed the paths of least resistance; see where they have ended. On the other hand, see the men who have succeeded because they followed the straight and narrow path. See our modern commercial life, with its one code of elthlcs for the multimillionaire and another code of ethics for the poorer man—for you and for me. You can see It in our commercial life to-day, wherever we see men getting together enormous amounts of money; wherever you see men putting pleasure before principle, desire before justice, conquest before character, self before one's neighbors, the things of the world before the glory of God. Whenever you find these things and find men following the easy, path, you find that they come to destruction. They have come to the end they set out to reach. On the other hand, true progress has come only when men have boon willing to travel along the straight and narrow path. What is the thing that sustains society to-day? It to the thing we call home. The home Is simply a group of people who have made up their minds to lead the straight life. Here the individual member sacrifices all for the sake of the group. The father sacrifices himself for his children. Wherever you see a home where there Is discord, there you will see a broken home, a disrupted home, one that ends In divorces one In which the children are moral bankrupts.

That is the whole foundation of our society; that Is whore we do good to the greatest number; whan men agree to walk In the straight and narrow path under any government whether it be that of a Republic or a monarc*. Instead of the easy path principle, Mong the linos of least resistance, more you have a sturdy people. Whan men endeavor to set forth their own ideas of government Independent of other men, such government Is nflt government at all; It sometimes means anarchy. Why do we build our hospitals today? Because we believe in the new Christian civilisation. Why do wo take care of our old people in homes for the aged and the sick instead of getting rid of them as they did in Sparta of old, by killing them? Because wp are a civilised people. Why do wo have reformatories now instead of prison. Because wo have learned that by simply turning a key on a man and locking him up apart from his follow-man, wo {astray him and ha destroys us. We do it for our own property's safety and for the reform of the individual. There are many, many men, la our own day who find tbomsetvos at the end of flour, or throe, of oven one year, not as good as they were before, to whom money and its pursuit are the ssaln objects in life. Some cannot look their own children in the foco or their neighbors, or their God, because they have last their character. But character costs a greet mi everything to saerileod to

Rockefeller's advice.

I believe that the laws are sufficient at present time to insure the conduct of corporations on an absolutely honest basis, and I believe also that most corporations are administered honestly, says John D. Rockefeller in Leslie’s Weekly. Mistakes are made, of course, but that cannot be avoided. But if more laws are needed, let them be such as are dictated by actual experience and enacted by the legislative power aiming at the best Interests of all. Specifically I believe in publicity. No honest , corporation has any escorts as regards its management to conceal from the public. The people have a right to the facts. To thewdrklngman I would say that his best interests lie in accepting the conditions which have come about through a natural process of economic evolution. Really, he will come to beam that the bulwark of his prosperity is the wisely and honestly administered corporation, which is here to stay. So firmly am I convinced of this that I look to see the day when the workingmen generally as Standard Oil employes have done and grown rich thereby, will invest their savings in the securities of the industrial combinations as they now deposit them in the savings banks. Finally, with honest administration assured on the one hand and confidence thereby compelled on the other, let those who are charged with the management of the corporations be held to a strict personal responsibility for their acts, and there will be ah' end to distressing Industrial strife.

PASSING OF THE HAWAIIANS.

In 1886 the Mawailans numbered over one hundred and eight thousand and in 1900 there were less than thirty thousand, states Mrs. 0. R Miller in Leslie’s Weekly. At present , I am told, there are less than twenty thousand. This decrease in population may be accounted for in many ways ,but their lack of regard for the common laws of health' is perhaps accountable for many deaths. They are cleanly about their persons, but often their homes, especially in the outlying districts are unsanitary and they fall an easy prey to disease. In 1848 great numbers died of measles, and several times smallpox has decimated their ranks. They are a sensitive race- kind and gentle in disposition, but indolent, improvident, and pleasure-loving; and so with "Aloha!” (greeting of lovel) on his lips and a smile of content* ment on his Sace, the Hawaiian is passing and the land of his fathers to being peopled with men and women from across the seas.

The edict that education in China must bo universal and compulsory sounds like a large undertaking; but education in China does not cost as much as in Philadelphia. George H. Gifford came from Tipton this morning, bringing with him two prospective land buyers, who will be Shown the Gifford country. N. G. Halsey also had two prospective buyers from Kankakee and all were taken out at the samrf time by T. M. Callahan. The prices prevailing in the Gifford country are very reasonable and persons who buy now will realize a good advance within the next few years.
