From the Chicago Tribune Sir Charlos Wyndham tells us roundly that '"a national theater cannot be made a success either in this country or in England for some time to come," because "actors and actresses great and proficient enough to play in such a theater can make far better arrangements through individuals, and are better off for so doing." This utterance of one of the most distinguished members of the English speaking stage of today fairly may be taken as representative. The light this judgment throws upon the spirit and ideals of the players is not very flattering. It is true the laborer is worthy of his hire, but many of us are old-fashioned enough to cling to the notion that in certain high matters, among which we would fain include the fine art of acting, the decisive factor in success is not the dollar. And one turns with something of relief from the satisfied practicality of this laureled modest engineer, who, on the salary of an army colonel, If we are not mistaken, is achieving one of the great feats of our day. Sidewalks Should Be Cleaned. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. There Is much dereliction of duty somewhere in the administration or there would not be so much snow on the pavements. The laws in respect to cleaning off snow are explicit. The property owner or tenant is allowed a few hours' grace after a snowfall and if by that time he has not opened a passageway he is liable to a fine. The police are supposed to attend to this matter. They are required to report delinquencies and warrants of summonses are then sent to offenders and hearings are held before magistrates. We have not heard of a single person being fined for dereliction of duty in this respect, although violators of the law must amount to many thousands, and the pedestrians have been put to much inconvenience. The truth is we are entirely too lenient in this as in other matters. It is a discredit to the city and the cause of great hardship to many. There is no good reason why all pavements in front of residences in the built-up districts should not have been cleaned by noon on Sunday. The Revolver Abuse. From the Chicago Record-Herald. Some statistics from Kansas City tend to add another bit of evidence to that already accumulated in favor of rigorous suppression of the "guntoting" habit. Missouri is one of the states which have recently passed stringent laws to reduce the abuse, th? Missouri method being to declare the carrying of concealed weapons a felony. This law took effect in August, and for the four months since then the number of homicides in Kansas City has been elevan as against eighteen in the similar period of the preceding year. This is not proof that it is a good thing to prohibit the pistol habit. It is just one more hint, but considering the neglect which has been the fate of other hints of the same kind, it is all the more needed. Strangely enough in the South, where a local sense of honor attaches to exploints with revolvers, the legislatures are now most active to suppress their use, while in the North, where the revolver is theoretically good for the honest citizen's defense, but actually good for little except the criminal's aggression, the laws are comparatively veak. Reform of the Stock Exchange. From the New York World. The Rock Island flurry brings further disrepute upon the New York Stock Exchange. If it was due to deliberate manipulation it shows how easily reckless gamblers can seize control of the machinery for evil ends. If it was the result of accident, as many charitably try to explain, it only makes Wall street's methods of doing business appear the more ridiculous. In, either case the public sees once nire for Itself that it Is without protection, and that as gamblers paradise ihe stock exchange offers unparalleled opportunities. Either theory reflects upon the sincerity of Wall street in pretending that legitimate in-

And now the year has run its pace and we are confronting the same old problem. That problem is a mystery and it is not known to have been solved by mortal man. This has led to the formation of all the creeds and all the sorry tangle of what we call the world. It has to do with such minor things as political parties and has even intruded into love affairs, (which both, as every one knows, have made us cherk up and use the whip and spur since the Beginning of Things.)

The problem is the came in this little inland town which forms our temporary abiding place as it is in Timbuctoo. Marco Polo, that great traveler amid all the riches of the Indies, never found a people in the Orient, of golden memory, who did not buck up against the same proposition. Fleeting and evanescent, that wi! o' the wisp ever eludes us. The pretty soap bubble with its irridescent sheen evaporates as it meets our grasp. And so one of us is moved to say with a cynicism that is at such times our only comfort, "What's the use?"

Those, who in their pride of worldly wisdom take joy and comfort in that phrase do not rest easily in their beds o night. It is an answer without a meaning unless that meaning be defeat. In that wonderful prayer of Robert Louis Stevenson, the prayer of a man stricken with an incurable disease, the answer to that threadbare 'what's the use' stands out as it were written in flaming gold. "Help us to play the man!"

There will be nothing particularly novel in the things which we hope for in the next year for this good little piece of God's Own Country. The last year has been fuller of success and kindly feeling for all of us though there has been bitter too. And so we believe that the next year will have the same things in store for us all, in just the proportion that we are willing to work for them.

The square deal i3 a pretty good working proposition. Just apply it now and then to some of these things right here around you and see how it all frames up. The Rights of Other People. The Wellfare of the Whole Community. The little matter of Honesty. Whether it be franchises, or Cannonism; the tariff, or the destitute in your own town; conservation, or the way you say good morning; the way you work for a better town, or the hours of working girls oh you can fill in the rest of them it all comes back! And so when this time of year comes again with God in his Heaven let it be all well with this happy, sorry, wisely foolish little world, so that we can then, as now wish you: A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

vestment and honest dealing are its first care. New England Spirit. From the Springfield Union. One thing we New Englanders like about is is our all-around superiority to the people of the rest of this great and glorious country. Plenty of Reformers. From the New York Tribune. If foot ball is not reformed it will not be for lack: of reformers. PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS PAZO OINTMENT is guaranteed to cure any case of Itching, filind. Bleeding or Protruding Piles in 6 to 14 days or money refunded. 50c. TWINKLES (BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.) Too Enterprising. "The old custom of hanging up the children's stockings on Christmas eve has almost disappeared." "Yes," answered Mr. Bliggins; "my youngsters are too progressive in their ideas for me to keep up with them. They wanted to sit up all night and wait for Santa Claus." "So as to wish him a merry Christmas?" "No. They have been reading about train robbers and thought it would be a good idea to hold up the sleigh." The Time for Flying. When snow and slush come into sight And roads are in a sorry state, Ah, then you envy Mr. Wright And wish that you could aviate! Overzealous. "That speaker tries to be accurate." "Yes," answered Senator Sorghum. Hp rllv overexerts himself After saying 'there is little liore to be said on this subject he will talk for an hour to prove it." How it Might be Arranged. "If 1 were a king," said the weary manager. "I'd have a theater of my own and have the first man who ask ed for a pass hanged." "Good idea," replied the treasurer. 'In that case we could truthfully say, free list entirely suspended." " Impaired Dignity. "Why is a man never a hero to his valet?" ' Probably because his valet sees him in the slippers, smoking cap and lounging jacket that he got for Christ mas." 1909. Go ahead old Nineteen Nine Send the snowdrifts down the line!

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye THE' WORLD IS KIN. Little Ruth Marks of Chicago, aged three years, while playing upset a bucket of boiling water over herself. She was badly burned. The little girl was taken to a hospital, where for awhile her life was despaired of, but she gradually improved, and finally it was decided she was strong enough to permit a skin grafting operation. The father put an advertisement in the papers offering $3 an inch for good healthy skin. More than fifty persons offered their cuticle. The applicants represented every class, from the workingman without a job, who needed the money to feed a hungry family, to the wealthy clubman, who offered to make the sacrifice In order to save the child's life. Only four were taken. About an inch and a quarter of cuticle was taken from the right arm of each of the men selected, following a rigid examination by the doctors. One of the men said be had two little sisters at home who reminded blm of Ruth and that he would have gladly contributed the full amount of the skin out of pity for-the child. Another successful candidate declared he had walked four milet. 'hrougb the rain in his desire to be of service. Not one of tbe men would accept a cent of money not even car fare. WellThese occurrences are not uncommon, we are told, by hospital surgeons. An appeal for cuticle or for blood to be used for transfusion into tbe veins of the weak is always responded to. And only when the person making tbe offering is in dire need is money accepted for the sacrifice. The fact is , The more you see of people aid the more you think about them the more do you become amazed at the IXHEIiEXT GOODNESS OF MEN AND WOMEN. It is a slander on tbe race to say that men. women and children are naturally depraved. They are not. They are NATURALLY GOOD. They may be hardened by association or surroundings, but inherently tbey are disposed to goodness. And a touch of nature does not make the whole world kin. It IS kin. The occasion merely brings it out. People are not angels, by any means, but "God's in his heaven, and all's well with the world." The only coin in use In China until recently was the copper cash of which there are about 1.2ik to the Mexican dollar, or J.S.'V to the American dollar, but these are fast disappearing except in the more or less remote interior A new coin or "ten-cash piece," has been made at the provincial mints, and it is rapidly displacing the old topper cash. The relative value between these and silver dollars or taels is fluctuating. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercury. as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completelv derange the whole system when entering It through the mucous surfaces.

T EVENTS III nil OVER 1 A Brief, But Complete History Day by Day, From First of Last January to Last Day Of December. NOTABLE HAPPENINGS FOR EVENTFUL YEAR North Pole Discovered, Many Prominent Men Died and Year Was Marked by a Wholesale Loss of Life. The record breaking year 1909, which saw the discovery of the north pole, was comparatively free from great disasters so far as the United States is concerned. Outside of the Cherry mine horror, the sinking of the steamship Republic and tbe usual fires and floods, nature dealt leniently with this country, but in the world at large added the earthquake in Fersia, the flood at Monterey, Mexico, and some minor catastrophes to her book of death. By far the greatest event of the last twelve months was the discovery of the north pole. On Sept. 1 Dr. Frederick A. Cook came out of the north aud announced that he bad reached the goal on April 21, 1908. Six days later Commander Robert E. Peary emerged with the news that be had made the discovery on April 6, 1909. Peary's papers were approved by the National Geographic society, but doubt was expressed as to Cook's claims. Several months before the coming of Peary and Cook Lieutenant Shackleton returned to tell of a dash to within 111 miles of tbe south pole. Other Important events of the year were the inauguration of President Taft, the departure of Theodore Roosevelt on a hunting trip in Africa, the passage of tbe Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, the 13,000 mile tour of Mr. Taft over the country, the most romantic feature of which was the meeting with President Diaz on the borders of Mexico; tbe return to Hampton Roads of tbe sixteen American battleships after their cruise around the world and the decision of tbe United States circuit court dissolving tbe Standard Oil trust. In foreign lands the occurrences of chief historic interest were the deposing of Abdul llamid II., the triumph of progressive government in Turkey and a new ruler in Belgium. The year saw the flying age fairly ushered in, the notable aeronautic feats having been the crossing of the English channel, the triumphs of Count Zeppelin with his dirigible, in which he made various long flights and once carried twenty -seven passengers, and tbe flights of the Wright brothers, including the rounding of the statue of Liberty and Grant's tomb at New York and the high ascension of 1.G00 feet in Germany. As a memorial year 1909 eclipsed all others owing to the galaxy of great men born 100 years before. Centenaries widely observed included Lincoln, Darwin, Tennyson, Poe, Gladstone, Fitzgerald, Holmes, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Samuel Johnson (two hundredth) and John Calvin (four hundredth). Tbe one hundredth anniversary of the death of Thomas Paine was also observed. In addition, several great celebrations were held, including the Hudson-Fulton in New York, the tercentenary of the discovery of Lake Champlain and the Portola festival at San Francisco. The year's deaths were notable, including in the world of letters such names as Algernon Charles Swinburne, Edward Everett Hale, George Meredith, F. Marion Crawfoid and Richard Watson Gilder; in public life. Ethan Allen Hitchcock, David A. De Armond, Governor John A.
