Those old days of im providence are paused. We sro get ting more and more rational every year. We are getting more and more like (and possibly too much like) our friends, the business men. Not that we have anything against the business man. On the contrary we look up to the business man with jrrcat respect and admiration. But his ways arc not, or at least should not.be like our ways and our ways should not be like his. A true artist has mora or la of the Insane man about him.

"EVERYMAN." .The moat novel dramatic pjrfrm- ance ever seen on the local stage will be given ut the Academy u-morrjw evening, when "Kvcryman" is to be performed by the lien Greet rlayera. of London. "Everyman" is tha finest of all the old morality ploy which the monks used to act In th Mtddo Agea, at a time when tha I'tago waa entirely In the hands of the Church. It is an Intensely interesting play, this "Everyman," an allegory culminating in the dramatic struggle between Ev eryman and Death. So vivid Is the telling of this simple story, one which Is so pertinent to every oul In the audience, that the religious element of the play Is over-topped by Its tre mendous dramatic Interest, with the result that a play revived na a literary curiosity by the Elizabethan Stag? So ciety has become one of the moat suc cessful plays on the stage to-day. In London, New York. Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia the play "has had long run arreted by Ben Greet's fa mous English Shakespearian com pany. Ih "Everyman" the stage Is set to show the cloister yard of a cathedral In Spain. Just such a place as would be chosen In the mediaeval period, for the performance of such a work. Many of the character make their ex- Its and entrances through the audi ence. No orchestra is used, the mu sic being supplied by an organ and cello. There are a score of charac ters, the principal onea being. Adonl, Death, Everyman, Knowledge, Good Deeds, Goods. Doctor and Fellowship. In England the Deity was represent ed on the stage, but In thla country the voico only i heard, Tha Ben Oreet Company has lone; held a high rank In England aa a Bhakeapearlan company, and comes here under the personal dlrrctlon of Mr. Greet, him self. At the Academy Saturday, matinee and night, will appear one of the moat delightful of the younger actTeaees now before the American publlo In the engagement of the charming Hel en Orantly In the latest New Tork success, -The Little Oray Lady," writ ten byChannlng Pollock. Mr. Pol lock I one of the youngest authors, although his' name haa bten promi nently Identified with the theatrical world for several year. HI reputa tion aa a dramatist haa been derived from the making of stage version of several popular novels, but with "Th UtUe Gray Lady" cam hi first se rious effort as an original dramatist, and tf It reception m Mew Tork by both th critic and laymen can b taken as a criterion of future accom plishments, he will occupy a promi nent position among the native au thor. .

Ruth Jordan, the daughter of the boarding house mis tress, a shrewd, shallow, calculating, catty girl, with a certain amount of dash and brasenneaa of manner, ap peals to Carlisle's new point of view and she wins htm away from Anna Gray. Sam Mead, a secret service agent, who is devoted to Anna Gray, tells her of the discovery of his chief, that in the redemption department some one is putting together small bits of bills and passing the three fifths of the bills Into general circu lation. It Is made apparent that Car lisle is the guilty party, but not un til the second act. In the little Gray lady's room In the aecond story front of the boarding house. Mead comes to her and asks her if she ever took money which didn't belong to her. He tells her that the most recent theft Is that of a hundred dollar bill which has been marked by the secret ser vice men, which, when found by the department, will absolutely fix the guilt of the criminal. The secret ser vice men have narrowed the posslbll-i ity of the theft on four persons, of whom she Is one snd Carlisle anoth- tholr' complete reconciliation , and th beginning of what rthey regard a. dew career. i-&uwJJ "V (&Z:MX GROAT, PIANIST, v .

He was quietly swearing to him self In an abstracted sort of way, this victim of Cupid. Knowing that he was to be married within the fort night, tho reporter asked "Why the long face." "It's this boarding house proposi tion." exclaimed the fellow in a tone of disgust and resentment. "What the devil is a salaried man to do In Charlotte, If he Is married. I've hunted high and low and can't find a boarding place that half way suits me for less than $65 a month, and several places want $75 and 180. For a man working for a moderate salary that leaves little for clothes and the other necessaries of life, to say nothing of any luxuries. "The only other recourse is a cot tago and housekeeping and It Is harder to get a cottage than It is to get a wife. If a fellow wants to feel well at eaje he must build a cottage of his own before he surrenders to Cupid." There Is no doubt but that the problem of living Is beooming a se rious one. Even to those In the best circumstances, the servant aroblem Is a most worrying one and aome of Charlotte's most popular society wo men sometimes have to do all of their house work for a more or less Indefinite period. The unusually large charges for board and the scarcity of cottages and residences is due to the great Influx of people Into the city. The demand exceeds the supply and abnormal prices resalt.

There was a time when Lard was considered the only shortening To-day, the only people who use lard for shortening and frying pur poses are those who are. not familiar with the virtues of Cottolene. It pays to be abreast of the times. Cottolene (s'mot only superior to lard from a health standpoint, being a vegetable rather than an animal product, but it will make more palatable food than lard; and it is more economical than lard because, being richer, one third less is required, than of lard or cooking butter. Lard cooked food is not digestible because lard is a hog-fat product. Cottolene makes food more digestible and healthful because it is es sentially a product of nature and contains only that which is digestible, healthful, and a real means of sustaining life. If your grocer is an up-to-date, progressive man, he will have Cottolene in stock. More than that, if he has ever used it in his own family, he will recommend it in preference to lard or cooking butter. If he does not do this, it is only because be is unfamiliar with the virtues of Cottolene. Prove our claims to your own satisfaction by giving the product a fair test. Give Cottolene a good, fair test, use it according to directions, 'and note the benefit to your digestion. You'll never go back to Lard. COTTOLENE was granted a GRAND PRIZE (highest possible award) over all other cooking fats at the recent Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and food cooked with COTTOLENE another GRAND PRIZE.
