isolated island is yt. Kilda, some three I

FUN IN "mOF SIXES"
Clever Farce Is Capably Played "in Ma

Earlier in Season
A company of capable actors yester
day presented the farce, "A Pair of
Sixes," for two performances in the
Majestic theatre. It was au excellent
holiday attraction and many Harris
burgers took advantage of the oppor
tunity of seeing it the second time. It
was a return engagement anil t'he rnem
'bers of t'he company wore the same with
one exception, as those who appeared
here earlier in the season.
That exception was Miss Elizalbeth
Irving, who made 'ber first appearand
in the play yesterday iu the part of
Mrs. Nettleson. Her work went smooth
ly and heh.ed carry the action Oi the
play along without r hitch.
"A Pair of Sixes'' is an excellent
farce, with many funny, situations and
some sad ones, too. Thomas Walsh and
Paul Nicholson,'business partners in t'iie
pill business, decide, through a pair of
sixes in a game of "show down," that
the latter shall be t'he former's butler
during one year. This arrangement is
put iii io eft'e.t by mutual agreement and
a laughable period follows. These men
nre clever actors of good stage presence

No - 811 - Resignation -
By 3t. George Tucker **
Days of my youth,
Ye have glided away;
Hair of my youth,
Ye are frosted and gray;
Eyes of ray youth,
Your keeu sight is DO more;
Cheeks of my youth,
Ye are furrowed all o'er;
Strength of my youth,
All your vigor is gone;
Thoughts of my youth.
Your Vy visions are flown.
Days of my youth,
I wish not your recall;
Hairs of my youth,
I'm content ye should fall;
Eyes of my youth,
You much evil have, seen;
"When the Tide Is Low"
Some time at eve when the tide is low,
I shall slip my mooring and sail away,
With no response to a friendly hail
Of kindred craft in a busy bay.
In the silent hush of the twilight pale,
When the nignt stoops down to embrace
the day,
And the voices call in the waters' flow,
Some time at eve when the tide is low<
I shall slip my mooring and sail away.
Through purple shadows that darkly
trail
O'er the ebbing tide of Jhe unknown
sea,
I shall fare me away with a dip of sail.
And a ripple of x 'water to tell the tale
I Of a lonely voyager sailing away
shore.
POWEE OF SILENCE
Shown in the Art of the Painter and
the Orator
Tn painting the sacrifice of Iphigenia
the artist, it has been said, exhausted I
the emotions of grief and horror in the j
faces of the bystanders.
"He has left nothing unsaid. iHow j
can he depict her father's sorrow "
was the anxious query of those friends
Who were watching the development of
thfi picture. The artist threw a man
tlejiver Agamemnon's face. The blank
silence was more effective than any:
pictured woe.
One of the most extraordinary eft
fects produced by absolute silence is!
recorded in the reports of a convention .
in which the foremost mea of Virginia j
took pari. .Tolni Randolph had a meas- I
ure to carry in which he looked for j
the opposition of Alexander Campbell, j
a man then noted for his scholarship j
and power in debate.
Randolph had never seen the Scotch j
logician, but he hail heard enough of j
him to make him and his partisans un- i
easy. When, therefore, the gaunt j
stranger first rose to speak in the con
vention Randolph looked at him with I
such an air of alarm as to attract the j
attention of the whole convention, and j
as he glanced around seemed to toe nsk-1
ing for sympathy in his coming defeat, j
He then composed himself to listen with I
close attention.
Campbell, aware of this byplay, hesi
tated and lost the thread of his argu
ment. Randolph's face by turns as lie
listened expressed weariness, indiffer
ence and finally contempt. He leaned
back and yawned. Campbell sat down
hastily, He had lost the whole force
of his speech. Xot a word had 'been
spoken, but he was defeated. —Wash-
ington Star.
Thoughtf ulness
"Lady," said Plodding Pete, "would

heart running seventy-two to the min
ute. In battle it falls to sixty. That is

"But there are many sluggish heart
ed men. They seem strong enough.,
stalwart enough, but their hearts run
at the best of times only sixty or so
a minute. Subtract twelve in battle-
Result, forty-eight. And pallor and
weakness follow pallor and -weak
ness, I might say, of mind no less than
of body. It is not surprising if this
soldier runs away.
"There's another class, a class in
creasing in these stressful modern
j times—namely, the nervous class. The
I heart of the nervous class in time of
I danger is the worst of all. It goes
I speeding up, up, up—it actually reaches
| 120 beats. Its owner can then do noth
ing. He can't fight, he can't advance,
|he can't retreat. He sinks down on
I the ground. He shakes and cowers. A
J pitiable spectacle. But he can't help
