"Gentleman Jim."
"Gentleman Jim" Corbett, nt one
time muster of the gloves, will appear
at The Keith next Monday evening in
that funnv comedy, "Facing the
Music." The admirers of Mr. Corbett
will be pleased to see him in legitjmate
comedy. Ho has come to bo recognized
ns a capital comedian nnd in his new
venture has a part that is particularly
suited to him. His gentlemanly and
polished benring, his ease on th stage,
coupled with a natural physical attrac

in the front rank. The supporting com
pany is said to be of more than ordinary
merit, including Joseph Sullivan nnd
Miss Eleanor Montell.
Have to Memorize their Music
The "Roney Boys" who appear in
this city next Tuesday evening, aro not
allowed to tako their notes upon tho

new. Every one of their concert selec
tions, many of them intricnte and diffi
cult, has to bo memorized. This is not
only good training for their memories,
but adds greatly to tho artistic effect
of tho boys' work. Noted educators say
it is a liberal education in music, and a
valuable object lesson- to every young
person, to hear "Roney's Boys" sing
such standard music. And it sets both
children and parents to thinking, and
suggests the vocal possibi'ities that lie
in the throats of boys everywhere.

"Too Late, Too Late!"
You remember. I'm sure, tho storv
of the seven wise and soven foolish vir
gins who wero waiting for tho bridal
party, intending to accompany it to the
wedding least. iou remember how
tho wise virgins kei t their lamDB filled
and burning, and wore prepared when
the timo came, while tho foolish ones,
letting their lamps burn out, were met
with tho cry ''too late, too latol"
There's u somowhat similar note of
despair in life insurance. Forty-four
hundred and fifty-one persons applied
to the New loric liiie in l'jua tor over
thirteen millions of life insurance, forty-four
hundred and fifty-ono peoplo
whom, for ono reason or another, the
Company could not accept.
l huso applicants wero declined, anu
met with the metaphorical cry "too
late, too lato, yo cannot enter hero."
These 4,451 peoplo had fritted awny
their chances, wasted their many oppor
tunities, and found at last when they
did appiy for life insuranco that, alas,
thov couldn't got it.
Most peoplo think they can get life
insurance any timo thoy wan it. All
they havo to do is to ask for it. All
they havo to do is to let some ono tako
their applications. Not so. Hero wero
over four thousand bona fide applica
tions that didn't bring insuranco. Prnh-
' ably tho vast majority of these lag
gards might have oeen insured, it on v
they had applied in timo i. o before
they becamo uninsurable. But they
didn't, tnoy united along in tanctcd se
curity and with what dread result!
Don't you bo liko ono of tho foolish
virgins, drop us a card that you aro in
terested or call at our ofllco. and wo
will explain tho many good features of
tho New York Life Policies.

central ofllco for all these men, a vast
amount of red tapo will bo eliminated
and tho division omcials will bo per
mitted to spond more time on tho road
and thus como in closer touch and
friendlior relations with the traveling

Plans 01 consolidation which the Harrl
man officials have been working out for
some timo and it will be given a thor
ough trial on tho Nebraska division of
tho Union Pacific Umnha iiec.
Park's Position May be Permanent.
Tho temporary assignment of duty ,
for W. L. Park with tho Harriman
lines, seems probable to becomo a per-,
manent thing. Mr. Park has been
working for a timo as assistant to
Julius Kruttschnitt, director of main
tenance and rlght-of way of tho Harri
man lines, it is stated that W. is,
Scott, who formerly held tho position
now occupied by Mr. Park, has been
slated for promotion to tho position of
president of tho Erie road. Should this
promotion bo made, Mr. Park would bo
retained in the position ho is temporari
ly filling, and tho change would causo a
general shifting of all the officials on
tho U. P. It is said in railroad circles
that it is more than probable thechango
will bo mado with within a fow days.
