A Refractory Audience.

A very sad thing occurred at a late
performance given at Laramie City.
At the close Of the last act one Of the
principal performers is instantly
killed. 1t is then the duty of the
audience to rise, pick up its umbrel-
la, and walk home. Sometimes,
however, the audience is not familiar
with the play and does not go home.
1t waits for more death and carnage
before its awful thirst for blood is
glutted.
This was the case at Laramie two
weeks ago. The stage hired man,
who hauls the dead off into the dress
ing-rOom, was waiting patiently, but
the people would not go. In order
to get the full value Of their dollar

swine Breeding.

The National Lire Stock yo,TU0l
furnishes the following items con-
cerning the selection Of brood sows:
The most promising selection for
show purposes will not, as a matter
Of course, be the best pig to set apart
to use as a breeder The best show
pig may come from the smallest sow
in the herd, yet, as a rule, it is not
wise to select breeders from that
class. We want the most size in the
shortest time and as stated, there
are hardly any pigs in these days
that do not inherit ample fattening
prOclivitIes, so that we can quite
safely forego little Of the fat that
we may secure in the prospective
breeder roOminess and tendency to
growth. All litters, no matter how
well bred, show variations at wean-
ing time, and appearances indicate
that we can know the best pig for
future use, almost from the start.
These appearances, however, are de-
ceptive, as wetind a few months lat
er. The best pig at weaning time
may do as well us expected during
the next following three or four
months ; hence, it is best to watch
the development, eventually choos-
ing those having size, with greatest
width, depth and length, combined
with the finest points.
The practice with many of discard
ing the old sows, filling up from
same litters, is very unwise, pro-
vided the dams are Of equal merit
and breeding with the pigs. II, how
ever young sow be kept till she is
a year old, well fed in the meantime,
before being bred, she viii bring as
stong and growthy pigs as the older
sows. The notion that a sow should
be bred early, that she may become
a good suckler, is erroneous. Matur-
ity in growth Of the whole body is
quite necessary to the development
Of the milk glands, and, as we have
proved to our own satisfaction by
sufficient tests, the well nourished
SOW, dropping her first litter at
months, will, as stated, bring as
good pigs as the older sOws, and is
quite as likely to have an ample sup
ply Of milk.

they desired to see the post mOrtem
examination. They could not 90
home until it had been settled that
the villain was fully and thoroughly
dead.
There he lays with his ear against
a kerosene footlight, suffering, at 50
per week, and the audience absolute
~ refusing to go home and allow the
man to revive or to requicscat en-
pace. The curtain, though loaded at
the bottom with a tGlegraph-pole,
failed to COME down, and the legs Of
the avenger and other members Of
the troupe fitted past the space left
by the unruly curtain, and the dead
william lay on his back, having yield
ed up his life four times that week,
in the same manner, besides carry
ing the heavy trmksof the beauti-
full actress up two flights Of stairs for
her in three different towns.
As there were no programmes,
people looked at each Otheran Won
dercd. They knew that this man
was, undoubtedly, dead, but whether
the company had fresh one or not
was the question.
Finally two adult members Of the
troupe came forward and pulled
down the refractory curtain. Then
the manager advanced to the front
Of the stage, and, in voice choked
with emotion, said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we would
be glad to massacre some more Of our
troupe if we could, but we cannot
afford it. In a One-stand town one
man is about all we can yield up to
the cold embrace of death. Our
printing is high, and we have to pay
SIS for the hall. Therefore we re-
gret to announce that the play is now
over. You can 60 home safely and
we will attend to the remains. We
have every hope that the young man
will be able to draw his salary next
week, and that we may win him
back to joy and health again. He
has a good constitution, fair appe-
tite and we feel like trusting it all to
the future. We regret to see you go,
but as the janitor is now blowing out
the lights and it is getting pretty
well along into the shank Of the eve
ming we must say good bye to you,
hoping that during our absence the
Laramie Opera House Company will
decide to assess its stockholders,
purchase some more wicks for the
footlights, put the old piano out of
its misery, and stick another pair Of
overhalls into the broken window of
the ladies' dressing room, so that the
actresses who visit your town will
feel more segregated, as it were, and
separate from the great, vulgar
world "-BW Nye.

"DON'T SHOOT ME, FRANK

A Citizen Taken for n Burglar and
Shot by an Excited Neighbor-The
shot ArOuses the NeighbOrs md
Mucn Confusion Ensues.
= Much excitement WAS caused in the
vicinity Of Eighth and King streets Tues
day evening by the report of a revolver,
and the following facts are the absorbing
topic OF conversation in that neighbor-
hood yesterday morning:
Shortly before O'Clock some one saw a
man walking in the back yard Of the
house at No. l04 East Eighth street, occu-
pied by James L. Smith, superintendent
OF bridges for the p, W. & B. Railroad
Company. Thinking that burglar was
trying to effect an entrance, the dlsooverer
rushed to the house of franklin II. Stock
at No. S02 French street, and gave the
alarm.
Mr.. Stock, greatly excited, pockessd a
revolver and went to the place designated.
Upon arriving he saw the supposed bur-
glar, who in reality was Manlove Hazel,
aged about 30 years and a we'll. known
resident OF the vicinity, standing in the
yard. The noise made by Mr.. Stock
attacted Mr.. Hszel's attention, who
looked up Just in time to see revolver
ieveled at his breast. Throwing up a
heavy cane he held in his hand he cried,
Frank, don't shoot me; don't you know
me, Frank, am Hazel" -.,....
DO completely was Stock mastered by
excitement, however, that he gave no
heed, and scarcely had the supposed bur-
glar finished speaking when bullet
crashed through his cane aud grszsd his
right arm above the wrist.
Recognition Immediately followed the
