THE RED AND BLACK. I Work is the Thing. (Lionel Hoi) Ingcrsoll Mid to a young man the other day: “Any man can be a fair lawyer, if lie has an ordinary amount of brains, and is willing to work.” Thin remark applies to almoxt, every profession and induxtry. Ap plication - -contracted energy per aixtent work will make a ru.-iti suc cessful ami cause him to be regarded ax a genius. Dickens summed up the whole business in one word, “attention.” J Me used to tell young men that tin- secret of good writing was atten tion. “fiive the matter your alteu lion,” he said, “and you will suc ceed." This is what Ingcrsoll means j when lie speaks of tile results of work. There is no very great dif ference in the natural m> utal ca pacity ofthemaxKof mankind. The average man who has success al ways in view, and works untiringly for it, will get there, unless extraor dinary obstacles or misfortunes stand in his way. The most successful financiers, merchants, artisans, farmers and professional men started at the bot tom of the ladder and worked their way up. It is true in the highest sense that worth makes the man, but it is equal ly true, in a strictly business sense, that work makes the man. Work is the thing, ami, when you In gin it, follow the advice of Dick ens, and give it your attention. m • - THE LADIES WILL GO- Tn*y Always Uo to Sss Clara Morris Everywhere. The audiences that generally greet Clara Morris throughout the country j are very largely composed of women. I She of all the actresses seems the only one who oan touoh every oherd of feel ing known to her sex. Certain it is that her greatest ad mi ers are women and she is more than grateful that it is so. This being the osae, Miss Morris has recently translated and adapted s play from the Carman, entitled Claire, and upon its ttrst production and al most constantly thereafter, the critic* chose to term it a woman's play. It i* a strong, forcible and powerful argu ment agstnst the abuse ef the already too narrow ei oial laws that condemn in women what is condoned in men. It affords Miss Morris end her superb company many opportunities for good acting and they never fail to embrace them. On Wrdneeday nlgl t for the first time here MUe Morris will appear at the opera houte in Claire, end should be the occasion of an overflowing house >• it doubtless will be. it ATLANTA * SPECIAL.’’ VO EXTRA CHARGE FOR RIDING ON THE “ATLANTA SPECIAL' •»»>Sr a boa a i> -A ir-Lixe.<««- NEW AND DIRECT ROUTE BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH.

My next month's allowance is not yet at hand; What excuse can I give when I state my requirements, Wliat excuse for my extra demand? Shall I state it is caused by a foot-ball assessment, Or exceedingly large fraternity dues? I’m sure I don't know where my money lias gone to, I tried to keep track but my book got confused. I might say I went to a theatre party, (The truth by the way I freely confess) | But I think that the safest reason ex tant is, “The Y. M. C. A. dues have reached an excess.” A GREAT EVENT- Clt rn Morris at Opera House on Jan uary 24th. In all the plays that Clara Morris presents there are strong dramatic scenes, scenes of conscience and great mental suffering and m all these Clara Morris ban to rival on the stage. Her sciing is still far beyond that of any other woman attempting them. On Wednesday evening next Miss Morris will appear at the opera house in the lutes 1 ; addition to her repertoire, Claire, being an original adaptation from the German This play, on ac count of its dire, t appeal to members of her own sex has been termed a “wom an’s play,” and it is fitting that it should be presented by a woman who has no < qual in the portrayal of their wrongs. Claire is a powerful play,well suited to Miss Morris’ pronounced abil ity. The company eupporting her is a particular strong one including only well known members of the theatrical profession.
