There is on exhibition in the window of George A. Davis’ store, on Broad- way, an oll painting of a sheep scene in Old Mystic that is attracting con- siderable attention, because it is so true to nature. Artist Loweth was in that place on business when he acci- dentaly saw the flock, and, being im- pressed with the idea that it would make an exceptionally good subjegt for a picture, he went to Old Mystic and sketched it and the surroundings. The work is so well executed that it is no wonder so many stop to look at it. THE AUDITORIUM, For the holiday week this popular layhouse is showing a dill which is cound to attract large audiences and send them away much pleased. The sketeh entitled The College Hero is a very well chosen one for Kelso, Leigh- ton & Co. and always wins much ap- plause. Brown & Brown, Indian sing- ing cartoonists, do very ciever work with the erayon and accompany their artistic handicraft with appropriate songs. This act is a very.novel one and is well appreciated. The rah! rah! boys, Coulter & Wilson, make things lively .during their turn with catchy songs and accomplished piano playing which always catches the crowd. A comedy bicycle tct is something that has not been seen here for a long time until this week, when Joe Dale, one of the world’'s greatest trick bicycle rid- ers, appeared, and is taking his audi- ences by storm. For the remainder of the week, including Christmas day, an extra feature will be given in the ap- pearance of the Misses Morrelle, who will sing hoth catthy and classical duets. The programme on Christmas day will be continuous from 1 to § and Tto 10.30 p. m. . BREED THEATER. “The Pine Ridge Feud,” Unrivllle.d Feature Picture. 12, —l;y Artist ~ ‘With the change of programme at the Breed theater today, comes a new and sensational picture entitled The Pine Ridge Feud, a picture of the true melodramatic type, and carrying a story that is as brilliant as it is thrilling. The feud of many years’ duration that has existed between two fami- Hes of the extreme west Is the cause of the plot, and there is not ‘a dull moment in it, there being a thrill for every minute, The tremendous hate born of the savagery of primeval man is well contrasted with the tenacity of their love, that knows no law of God or man. The bill for the latter half of the week contains a beautiful Christmas motion picture that will remain until after Christmas day. Master Harry Noonan, the juvenile favorite, will sing for the balance of the week the exquisite Christmas song, The New Born King, appearing in his choir boy’s costume. This number is one of his star numbers, and the beautiful finale is embellished by the careful use of church chimes. He will also sing Have a Drink to Yankee Land, a splendid illustrated song. On Christmas day, the performances will run from 1.30 to 6§ p. m,, and from 7 to 10.30 p. m. Springfield’s River Front. The Springfield Union complains of the slowness of the movement to im- prove the river front of that city. The plan is to take out the railroad tracks south of the city along the Connecti- cut, and have green grass and old can- non on the bank for a mile or so, where there are now hen coops made out of old tin roofs, and other evi- dences of European and Asiatic thrift. Two and a half years ago everything seemed settled. President Mellen eseemed to be tickled at the prospect of doing something to show his good will toward the city, and when you listened to him it looked as if he would go ahead and do something be- fore the old home folks really got their minds made up on just what they wanted. But nothing has been done and there is no more prospect of actual accomplishment than there has been for two and a half years. Mellen is still anxious to do something, as friéndly as ever, and as fertile in sug- gestions as he*is sterile In deeds. Mellen is a slick article, and he has a chance to show what he is made of in Springfield. The city seems to be set on a very ambitious scheme for betterment, too ambitious for the city and the railroad, and Mellen probably hopes that time will bring enough peo- ple to a realization of the situation to enable him to get out with less ex- penditure than has heretofore seemed possible. - Of course Springfield is looking out for itself only, but Mellen has to look out for his side of the matter, and it's no easy job he has to keep expenses down so that he can earn hig eight per cent. dividends. The New Haven railroad is in no position to spend a dollar that will not directly and speedily earn its way, and until there is an improvement in its earn- ings Springfield may expect to be held ofl"by the company.—Northampton Ga- zette, Home Rule. Mr. Asquith’s promise to Ireland, al- though it was forced by a political sit- uation, hevertheless expresses the logic of the situation and the probabilities of the future. While the British em- pire retains its strength, Ireland will never be entirely independent. She will not have a separate army, nor will she make her own tariff regula- tions or her own foreign treaties, Short of such actual Independence, however, there is no excuse for Eng- land permanently to refuse her self- government. For her to be entirely responsible for her internal regulation would be the best discipline she could undergo. There might be. trouble for a while. The power of taxation might be used for revenge. An Irish police might not be used wholly for purposes of justice. Those are the two results most feared by English home rulers—the two considerations which have led them to go slowly. Another motlve has been ecclesiasti- cal, the blished English church “step which might enable |« church to exercise in- sure to increase until Ireland has no more just ground for complaint than exists in the relation of an c state toward our central government. —Collier's Weekly. : ‘James A. Herne. o The accident which _destroy: “Herne O-x:"n on Long Island, did more than bring a misfortune to one family. It put out of existence two of the most significant plays yet written on this contin “Margaret Flem- ing” was the first sincere, intelligent, and intimate study of life, in the mod- ern realistic method, ‘portrayed in the drama of the United States. Mrs. Herne is so saturated with this play that she may be able almost exactly to reproduce it. “The Rev. Griffith Davenport” is gone forever, and gone withont being widely seen. The cir- cumstances of its production were not altogether fortunate, and although a considerable number of observers re- cognized in it perhaps the most dis- tinguished and original of all Ameri- can plays, it was to the general publl’c practically unknown. ‘Mr. Herne's talent, taste, and spirit were never better represented. Had the fire not blotted it from the world, the play was one especially which it would have been the duty of the New theater to reproduce. Today we have in Moody, Macintyre, Sheldon, Walter, Mitchell, Miss Crothers, and a number of others a rapidly increasing group of dramatists worthy of their art. Mr. Herne was a pioneer. Standing alone, he pointed the way, a solitary and noble figure. The disaster which has fallen upon his family is a calami- ty for us all. When the serious his- tory of the American stage comes to be properly written, one. of the places of highest honor will be devoted to Mr. Herne. It would be a pity also if there were not written before it is too late a biography of the man who was one of our finest actors as well as our most progressive playwright. Already it has been made more difficult for one tragic aspect of the fire was that much of Mr. Herne's private correspondence was destroyed.—Collier'’s Weekly. The Voice is the Voice of Theadore. There was more than a touch of Roosevelt in the remarks of President Taft to eighty-five newly appointed supervisors of the census who called upon him. W'thout mincing matters and without any notable caution in his selection of words, the president in- formed the appointees that they would be “fired” without delay if caught in even the smallest act.of politics. They were given distinctly to understand that their positions are not of a po- litical nature and that a misapprehen- sion on their part will result in the in- stantaneous vanishing of their jobs. Such talk from the president is dis- tinctly pleasing, especially when it is borne in ming that some of the most important positions in the census tak- ing service have been given to known politicians. The jobs may be rewards for political service, but they are not to be used for political pirposes. Mr. Taft would have done better to avoid all political appointments, but, failing that, he has done the next best thing by eliminating ‘politics after appoint- ment. “Many of you—most of you—have been recommended by congressmen,” said the president to his visitors, “and it may be that some of those congress- men will come to you and expect be- caise they did recommend you that you owe them something in the way of selecting the men as enumerators who will help them in their congressional elections. “You have got to select the men who you think will do the work, and if you catch them doing political work I wish you to remove them, just as I wil] remove you if I catch you doing po- litical work. It is business.” One might shut his eyes and imagine that it was Colonel Roosevelt talking. —Cleveland Plain Dealer.
