‘‘Hather, I have been reading in 
this history of America that many 
of the men who fought in the Revo- 
lutionary War left their plows 
standing in the furrows to go and 
take up arms against the British. 
It was very brave of them to do 
that, wasn’t it?’’ ; 
““Yes my son, very brave. Still, 
it will not be hard for any one who 
has had experience in the business of 
following a plow over stumpy, stony 
ground to understand why those 
good men and true were perfectly 
willing to accept any excuse for try- 
ing something else.’’ — Chicago

Gentleness and cheerfulness, these 
come before all morality; they are 
the perfect duties. If your morals 
make you dreary, depend upon it 
they are wrong. I do not say ‘‘give 
them up,’’ for they may be all you 
have; but conceal them like a vice, 
lest they should spoil the lives of 
better and simpler people. 
B. F, Keith’s Theatre. 
The announcement that Willard 
Simms in ‘‘The New Paper Hanger’”’ 
will be one of the principal features 
at B. F. Keith’s Theatre next week is 
sufficient evidence that those visiting 
this popular resort during the com- 
ing six days will enjoy many a good 
hearty laugh. For Simms is without 
question one of the funniest comedi- 
ans that has ever been seen in vaude- 
ville, and in the character of the 
amateur paper hanger who mixes his 
numbers and papers the wrong flat, 
he keeps his audiences in a constant 
paroxysm of laughter. Only those 
who have found by actual training in 
the hard school of experience, know 
how really difficult it is to paper a 
room, can imagine the ludicrous mis- 
haps that befall the unfortunate 
Simms during the twenty minutes he 
is on the stage. Other strong attrac- 
tions engaged for the same week are 
Alexander and Seott, late of Cohan 
and Harris’ Minstrels, in ‘‘From Vir- 
giny ;’’ Keller Mack and Frank Orth, 
the song writer and the comedian in 
their musical absurdity, ‘‘The Wrong 
Hero;’’ Jewell’s Manikins, a remark- 
able troupe of miniature performers ; 
Cotter and Boulden, ‘‘The Whips in 
Bits’’ in original songs and dances; 
the Great Ploetz-Larrella Troupe of 
daring gymnasts. 
Contribution to Babies’ Hospital. 
The field secretary of the North 
Shore Babies’ Hospital, at Salem, re- 
.cently received a check from a lady 
with a note which stated that ‘‘As a 
thank offering for the beautiful rain 
now falling, I enclose this small 
check. I wish it might be larger, 
but I also wish that you might get 
many more such offerings and thus 
the small sum would swell to some- 
thing really useful in your great — 
work.’’ 
The contribution was $5 but the 
sentiment expressed in the note was 
rich indeed. If the same practical 
idea were expressed by the public 
generally, this most philanthropie in- 
stitution would be on the financial 
footing where it belongs. While 
quite a sum of money was raised by 
the tag day, that money was alone 
for improvements, not maintenance. 
There has been an average of 19 
babies treated daily at the hospital 
this summer. 
it is planned, if contributions are 
fortheoming, to continue it through 
September, one of the most trying 
infantile periods. Money alone is 
needed to carry out this extension 
of time:
