SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS As wholesome and refreshing as a mountain breeze on a spring day is the story unfolded in the picturization of Harold Bell! Wright’s celebrated novel of) “The Shepherd of the Hills,” which comes to the Orpheum Theatre December the 13th. Through it all runs a senti-| ment of buoyant optimism and a | sturdy faith in the finner quali- ties of human nature that is| splendidly inspiring in its effect. | So simple in outline, yet so true! to the rugged but sincere human nature it portrays is, “The Shep-| herd of the Hills,” that its po- | pularity is readily explained. It deals intimately with the homely lives of the Ozark dwellers when luxury was unknown and when the rough hard work of pioneer existence was met with fortitude and industry. In its heart warm- | ing fashion it tells of the stran- | ger who comes to the little com- munity from a more pretentious | life and how from a simple tend- | er of sheep, he becomes a shep- herd of men. With such a splen- | did subject matter as this, the | scenes follow each other in kalet- | doscovic variety, forming a pic- ture drama which is being view- | ed by thousands of theatre-goers | with wonder and intense inter- | est.

MUCH DEPENDS ON ONESELF Good Hard Sense as Applied to An- cient Superstitions Concerning “Blue Monday.” Seetentetonteny I happened to find a most entertain- ing old book in the free library—a dic- tionary of superstitions. It has three big volumes, all crammed with the fears and beliefs of the human race. Just to sample some of them that ap- ply to Monday, here are a few: “If things commence to go wrong on Monday they will go wrong all the week, but if you have good luck on Monday you will keep it up.” “Pay no bills on Monday if you can help it.” (This is congenial advice and easily followed.) “If you meet a cross-eyed person on | Monday you will not have good luck till Thursday.” “If the sun sets clear Friday night it will rain before Monday night.” “It Is a bad sign to lose a tooth on Monday.” (Yes, or a hand or a leg either, I should say.) “If you lose your temper three times on Monday you will have a great fam- | ily quarrel.” | (This bit of gsagacity has an excel- | lent chance of being true, one would | think, Still, there may be some men | who could get away with three blow- outs and have no comeback.)

The rest of the fine old mansion is closed, Willlam Allen White writes In Collier’s, The servants needed to ren the house are no longer available, Money will not hire them. Their men have been commissioned in the army because the earl’s son—who had a right to sit at the foot of the throne and who had also the blessed privilege of hearing the king by ancient right address him as cousin—the earl’s son Ughted one cigarette too many on the Parapet, and when he and his kind from Eton and Harrow went out, com- missions in the army fell to the cook’s son and the housekeeper’s son and the parlormald’s brother and chamber- maid's sweetheart, who, being com- missioned, promptly took their women- kind out of service. They are feeling what they never felt before, these do- mestic servants of the nobility—the spur of ambition, So they have left the castle, and such of the servants as stay have be- gun to assert their rights, to manifest their self-respect. “Whatever you do,” sald her ladyship to her guest, “don't ting a bell!” To the question In the visitor’s face the hostess replied: “If you ring a bell the servants will leave. 1 have only three. They have an- nounced that they will do their work, but they forbid Interruptions by bells!” The hot water appeared on schedule; the service flowed into the guestroom in its regular channel, ex- cept that fires were so low that the visitors’ feet were frostbitten; the meals were served on time and were well cooked. But the servants were efficient shop assistants, no longer feudal serfs. And the earl chopped the trees {n his own forest with his own hands for bis own fires, The meager household allowance of coal that the fuel controller gave to the earl from the mines under the earl's own lands was barely enough to heat the servants’ rooms. And as for the broad estate over which the earl ruled as an agricultural overlord six years ago—an agricul- tural overlord and Industrial entrepre- neur through his coal mines—the es- tate is all crumbling. The land Is pass- ing tnto the hands of small farmers; the old yeoman farmer, fairly well-to- do, of good old yeoman stock, going back to the Conqueror—he and his kind are taking the ownership of the land of the belted earl in 100-acre lots, and the nation, having taken charge of the earl’s coal mines, may now re- Neve him of the burden of mine own- ership as well. For the parliamentary committee by a large majority has re- ported in favor of the government ownership of all mines of every de- scription, ‘ And because the earl’s son sleeps under the popples of Flanders and his daughters are married and gone, the earl Is a weary, confused old man, chopping wood in the forest to keep his old wife warm. He cannot fight the new order. No leadership is call- ing him, He knows that the end is coming for him and his kind. He real- izes quite definitely that In a few years the castle of the Plantagenets, who were royal in the last Henry’s days, probably will fall into the hands of a brewer or a Graper or a stock broker, who will put in a central heating plant to defile it, debase the privacy of every bedroom with hot and cold water, and degrade the place with a wilderness of bathrooms, so that four servants can run the place on two eight-hour shifts where 100 retainers once served the baron under Elizabeth, The millions the old earl received from the yeoman farmers for his land have been divided with the state in yearly Income taxes; and now on the horizon he sees a pariiamentary Dill gradually approach which provides that capital as well as income shall be heavily taxed. So the old man In the forest sees even his capital unsafe, and he wonders curiously how the lit- tle gray man at Windsor feels about the prospects of succession for the genial young prince of Wales. Dish Rune Away With Spoon. A chain of restaurants in this city has to purchase more than a million spoons, forks and knives every year. Others tell the same story. Some of the help, according to the management of a Wall street restaurant, must be reckoned on as furnishing their homes with “borrowed” tableware and many patrons take it for souvenirs as un- blushingly as they would appropriate an umbrella on a rainy day. A Wall street man was invited to a dinner at the house of a rich client not long ago and during the evening his hostess proudly showed him hundreds of spoons, forks and knives bearing the names of hotels and restaurants both of this country and Europe, “It took me ten years to get this collection together,” sald the lady, “and I didn’t pay for one of them.” “And the dish ran away with the spoon.” Yes, in the days of Old Mother Hubbard, but in modern times the pa- trons and the belp. And the cost? The regulations,| Ob, that’s passed on to the hungry however, do not affect ship-| patrons who go to the restaurant vot te putiela, but to eat.—Wall Street ae ____ aang int
