Thinking hack for the origin of nny theatrical performance, our minds nat urally revert first to Shakespeare ami his Olobo theater. Some of us would go bnek n Uttlo further; and many of us would choose Mollurc, the plays ho wrote and staged, often In the open, for the vuln Louis and then, In his own theater, where, while he was the fa vorite of the king, ho was the ruge of France. Hut these were only steps In the evolution of the theater and the play. For the origin of nil dramatic repre sentations we must go hack to the days or Idol worship, when many gods were thought to rule the destinies of man. Two brothers, Dannus and Aegyptus, sons of Bolus, shared the throne of Egypt. After a particularly heated quarrel, Dannus, with his followers, set sail In search of a new land where he could rule alone. They lnndcd near the Greek city of Argus, of which he shortly became king. Here, lo celebrate his good fortune, ho Instituted festivals In honor of the god Bacchus, who was supposed to have helped to make his undertaking successful. These festivals consisted of nothing more than riotous revelry, Interspersed with songs, which, after the manner of the day, were most primitive and often coarse. But the festivals soon became very popular and were held periodically all over Greece. From this beginning, In the form of a kind of public worship, which was the first entertainment or performance known, evolved the tlie utrlcal projects of later ages which de veloped Into the Institution of the theater ns we know It today. Hoover .Hay Ittin Herbert Hoover absolutely refuses to permit his name bolng used by either of tho two standard and recog nized political parties, according to latost word from his headquarters. He contends If he is forced Into tho race for president, which honor he states is not coveted, that he will run as an Independent progressive. Frlonds of Hoover state that "once a republican alway a republican" and they oxpoct to seo him making tho nice on that ticket. Hoover wrh n republican boforo tho war, but claims lo liavo been non-partlsnn during t) conlllct. HO has boon mentioned re peatedly us a presidential possibility and lately as a democratic choice. The former food administrator Is re luctant In making a flat declaration, although ho has Intimated previously in public that he might bo a candidate. vOo Stensvad Poultry NORTH PLATTE, NEB.

Between Syracuse and Rochester, N. Y lies a country of hills, known as drumllns, which Is one of tho most beautiful bits of scenery In the eastern United States. The term dmmlln is an Irish one, and Is applied to low, rolling hills of glacial origin which ex ist in that country, and also In parts of New York and New England. This section between Syracuse and Roches ter Is the very heart of tho American drumllns. Most American mountains and hills were formed by violent disturbances of the earth's surface, and their rude origin Is reflected In their ruggedness. But the drumllns were built by tho great Ice sheet which once covered all of North America. Tho materials of which they are made were pushed to gether slowly by tho crawling glnclers, molded and tnmped and smoothed by tho grent Ice fingers ns a child makes mud pics. Tho drumllns look ns though they had been designed by some great Intel ligence with n sense of beauty, for they rise in smootli, gentle curves. They aro remarkably uniform In height, usually a llttlo less than 200 feet, and so smooth and lenient are their slopes that many of them nro cul tivated to their summits. Some of them nro ns round as half an apple, and others are long welts or rolls. Scattorcd among tho hills are a number of small lakes and ponds, clear and pretty, and there Is good Ashing In many of them. The drumlins are a favorite playground ot the people in Syracuse, Rochester and other nearby towns, but they nro little known be yond the counties In which they He. Improved Stereoptlcon.

A close friendship sprang up be tween the sultan and an English dentist, and as often as not, bridge took tho place of dentistry. The dentist would arrive with his timid lady assistant, nnd nil his Implements of torture, only to be Invited to sit down nt the table and piny cards. The lady-assistant was very young nnd very shy, and was more accustomed to piny children's card games than bridge. A fourth player would bo found nnd the Ill-assorted party com pleted. The ex-sultan enjoyed himself immensely, lie generally won, per haps by never permitting the trembling lady assistant to be his pnrtnor. The points were one franc a hundred, so no very serious dnmage could be done; but rich ns the sultan was, he re joiced more in his humblo winnings at bridge than over his many thousnnds in tho banks. Not a little of his en joyment was owing to the fact that ho felt that he was "doing" tho dentist. "He comes," the ex-sultan would say, "to mend my teeth and to tako my gold, and In the end I win his francs." But one day the cllmnx came. Tho teeth were excellently repaired the work was of the best there was no more to be done but to pay the bill and the bill very naturally and rightly Included all tho bridge hours, nt so much per hour. It was the most ex pensive bridge Mulnl Hand ever played. How the Impression of the Youth of Twenty-One Is Properly Resented by His Elders. That reporting is n young man's business Is Illustrated in some news paper every dny by some news Item telling about something, usually un fortunate, that happened to an old mnn or an nged womnn, the Ohio State Journal observes. Often the nged person, It develops somewhere in the story, Is fifty-throe, we will sny, or somewhere betwwn fifty and six ty. As every editor has reason to know, this youthful point of view of the reporters not Infrequently Is re sented by the aged person referred to. To be run ovor by the motorcar was bad enough, but to be called aged is adding Insult to injury. Nobody un der seventy seems old to himself, and many between seventy-live nnd eighty would rather not be considered nged. We talk hopefully of a man's being only as old as he feels, but no mntter how ho feels n mnn of lifty Impresses tho youth of twenty-one ns verging upon the sore and yellow, If not nl ready there. Our memory goes back to the time when n womnn of thirty- five looked almost hopelessly aged to us, nnd now we know vivacious girls of forty. And Daisy Ashford opened her Immortal work by remnrklng: "Mr. Snlteena was an elderly mnn of forty-two." Wo don't know nt what ngo .cldorllness begins for Daisy now, but If she lives long enough she will rench the point where her wny of classifying Mr. Salteona would be to sny that ho was a young mnn of forty-two. Remembered Father. Stnnton understands thnt his father Is n traveling man, nnd tries to count tho days until tho two or three weeks' trip has been mnde, and a few hours' romp begins. At the end of two weeks recently ho received a card from fa ther explaining It would be a few dnys longer before he came home. Shortly nfter receipt of tho card ho wns heard talking to his bnby broth er and quiet peeping enabled us to ob serve him holding tho enrd over tho bnby's crib while he kept repenting. "This curd Is from father; don't you remember father?" Mongolians Great Meat Eaters. Inhabitants of Mongolia aro great meat eaters, living In some cases en tlrely on mutton. It Is not uncommon for a Mongol to consume ten pounds of this meat at one sitting. Ho nlso comnares other foods by asking If they are as good as mutton. The Mon gol puts mutton fat In his tea, which Is prepared with milk from tho poor est grade of tea, pressed Into bricks, Ho drinks enormous quantities of this, 30 cups n dny being no uncommon amount for nr. adult. Tho natives cat whenever opportunity comes, there being no regulnr meal hours. Water Is scarce In Mongollu, few wells along the caravan route furnishing the entire supply. During tho winter nnd spring tho enmel is tho only nnlmnl that can cross tho desert and subsist on tho dried up grasses. At this season of tho year blocks of lco aro carried for water supply, and In other seasons two largo tubs aro carried on ench camel, ono tub on each side. Seeing With the Soul. What you seo with your soul helps determine what vou arc. Tho mind cannot contemplate visions without re actions. The deeper the vision tno more potent the reacting Influence. Only surfnee men. men of the non thinking type go through, life without moments of sober sitting nt the shrlno of conscience and there weighing the problems of life. When mnn sees his power nnd appreciates that every un used vestige detracts In multiples he seeks to turn It to nccount. And It blesses In proportion to the enthusi asm with which It Is ndvnnced. Tho good we do returns with grenter power when It is done without Uiougnt or re ward. We nre In the world to make tho most of It. We must see the soul If we are to gather tho full reward of our possibilities. This is every man's right. Grit. Swiss "Mourning Urn."
