house last night IN the border drama, 1.-The Scouts

tual scenes In the life Of the principal actor, whs
rather rehearses Incidents OF his past adventurous
career than stimulates passions. In this he has an
immense advantage over the ordinary actor who
attempts to give sketches OF life t0
which he is stranger. The result wan
at once visible, for, while the ordinary
