as is necessary for

ETHEL BARRYUOltB
Miss Ethel Harrymore
was disturbed in the
midst of one ot her
most serious aud
moving scenes by a
commotion iu one of
the boxes People
were talking loudly
a n d excitedly in
French and appar
ently with an inso
lent disregard of the
performance As
soon as she could
leave the stage she
sent her manager to
the box to
It transpired that Clement the Met
ropolitan operatic tenor and a party ot
French friends none of whom under-
some slips printed stood English were in alarm over a
New York woman who was also In the
party and who had been so moved by
Miss Barry mores actiug that she had
broken into a flood of tears which her
French friends not understanding the
play could not for They
thought that she had been seized with
hysteria or some more serious illness
When Miss Barrymore learned the
at work until noon and he does not cause of the disturbance her indigua
work in the afternoon or evening He tion was changed to amusement
never dictates his work often he type
writes Gnding that it is easier to do
this than to use the pen He thinks
too that there is an easier flow of
thought by this method
In From the Bottom Dp the auto
biography of Alexander Irvine a lay
minister of the Church of the Asceu
sion in New York city one gets an ex
traordinary recital of a career that
few men care to tell the whole truth
about The opening words of the text
seem fully to justi
fy the title which
Mr Irviue has be
stowed upon his
book
The world iu
which I first found
myself he writes
was a world of
hungry people My
earliest sufferings
were the sufferings
of hunger physical

William Norris the actor manager
might write a most amusing book en

he has had so many experiences in
this direction In speaking of them
recently he said
Troubles never come singly to the

in that he was too aoiciMS as adonis
ill to appear We had no understudy
no one ready to replace him
At the end of the third week of re
hearsals we thought we would try out
our goat a most important factor in
the cast so the actors would become
used to Billy aud he would hesitate
to butt them without due and just
cause Mr Goat was led to rehearsals
by a cullud gemmen from New Jer
sey Both of them appeared thorough

how it happened and he said Oh the
goat and me had a few drinks
My next roundup of goats came
from Central park Mr Goat called on

UNIQUE IN SPORT
Romarkablo Feat of That Heroic Old
Walker Edward Payoon Weston
The feat of walking from Los An
geles to New York which Edward
Payson Weston recently brought to a
happy conclusion Is unique lu the an
mils of sport The original program
laid out by the dauntless pedestrian
called for the covering of the distance
from the Atlantic to the Pacific ap
proximately sfS0 miles in ninety
walking days In the race of rains
and sioriie in defiance of heat and
cold undeterred by numerous minor
incidents and in Hie last stages of
the jiniey trudging along lu spite of
a sprained ankle the heroic old walker
has made it lu sevent seven days
Glorious as Is this iiuplisliment
from the point of view f sport pure
and simple it assumes the character
of greatness when it is considered

old and second that no tempting
monetary prize was held out to the
old man as a reward for his heart
breaking feat
The transcontinental walk was made
by the aged philosopher and athlete
not for mouey nor yet for fame but
as an object lesson to the youth of
America of the beneficial results to
be attained through walking Weston
has crossed the continent as the apos
tle of the gospel of walking
This achievement would tax the
physical resources of a young man
and is nothing short of wonderful
when we realize that it is the work of
one who has exceeded the Biblical al
lotment of years Weston is some
thing more than the mere performer
of a pedestrian stunt He is one of
the finest examples iu the whole world
of what orderly living sensible diet
and judicious exercise will do to pre
serve a good constitution to the enjoy
ment of a rugged old age
The aged pedestrian at seventy two
tramping sixty and seventy miles a
day without serious fatigue Is worth
more as an example to the rising gen
eration than all the Marathon runners
that ever abused the priceless possi
bilities of human legs

Follow this advice
Quaker Oats is the best of all foods
ft is also the cheapest When such
men as Prof Fisher of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne
LLD FRS of London spend the
best parts of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods it is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe to follow
Professor Fisher found in his ex
periments for testiifg the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
caters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats The jiowcrs of endur
ance of the non meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters
