Dying I'm Disgust.

New York Cor Chicago Journal
Poor Camille was dying for 10 cents on the
stage OF Bowery theatre. She was dis
posed to te conscientious about it, notwith-
standing the dime low price of admission.
Neither gasp nor moan did she mean to omit
from the role. She had tottered across the
room to the mirror and yelled at her emacia-
ted reflection, in strict imitation of Clara
Morris; and she had just fallen exhausted
and hopeless on the couch, at the juncture of
the play where the arrival of Armand is an
nounced. Tears were flowing copiously from
the feminine eyes in the audience, and the
masculine vision was considerably moist, too.
Camille was sobbing convulsively, and pin
couldn't have dropped without being caught
at it, so still was the listening.
Then came family the distant notes of
sweet Violets." Was the dramatic lover
approaching to sentimental musica IL
sounded so. The tune increased in distinct
ness, and it seemed evident that Armand
was marching to the death-bed of his sweet
heart with a full band. The volume of
sound disclosed the squeak of flies, the blars
of bugles and the beat of drums. There
was momentary expectation of q process
sion Of Armands on the stage,
with spectacular effects; and then
the hurrahs and other hubbub
of political torchlight parade came un-
mistakably from the street. The strife for
exit couldn't have been much greater il an
alarm OF fre had melted it.
Armand is here!" sbriekei the actress.
So was the procession. Ten thousand men
and boys were not deferred by the idea of
losing portion of their 10 cents worth. No
stress OF dramatic interest could stop the
stampede. The women joined In it. The
dying heroine sat upright with unseemly
strength, and gazed angrily at the disap-
pearing audience. Afterward she died in
disgust tefore less than 100 persons.

OF those among my readers who are inclined
TO despair Of making themselves presentabIe
1t Is said that Lotta was conducting re-
hearsals of new play at one of our theatres
afternoons while spectacular piece was
being presented evenings. In the latter a large
nnmber o. girls were employed as dancers
and hgurantss, and, according to usage in
such matters, they were under the charge of
costume mistress who presided autocratic-
ally in the wardrobe-room. Thi, official was
very direct and un:entimental in her treat
ment OF the human material sent in 10 her
by the stage manager. She was known as
Marin Jones, and she wasn't handsome, but
she could judge expsrtly as to the beauty
which came under her scrutiny-or rather
she could size it up accurately for stage
uses. She would say to girl whose face had
the delightful bloom OF a milkmaid, but
whose features were irregular: @Complexion
don't amount to nothing; Just as good as
your'n can be painted on Then sallow or
pimply creature, but with perfectly
shaped face, would hesitatingly pre-
sent herself "You'll do well enough Mrs.
Jones would remark: "rn fix you up for
the first row." Considerable latitude was
given her, because she could estimate al
almost unfailingiy what the result of adorn-
ment would be when set behind the foot
lights. Well, Lotta came up to the theatre
for her rehearsal She doesn't dress elabor-
ately in private life, and on this occasion had
the aspect of shrimpy and rather unprls-
porous woman. She ran across to Marin
Jones, who mistook her for a newly-hircd

Lotta mischievously followed her into the
wardrobe-room.

ONE DOG TO THOUSANDS OF SHEEP
walking n Drove from Missouri TO
Philadelphia.
New York Sun.


An immense drove of sheep went stpm-
bling, tumbling and trotting out of Newark
the other day on their way to Philadelphia.
They seemed to walk all over one another,
bumped together, and crowded until it
seemod as though some must have been
trodden under the feet of the others. A
rouehlooking countryman trudged ahead in
The middle Of the road and the sheep followed
cloely He seemed as dusty, ill-humored and
ont of sorts as the sheep themselves. In the
ear tall and gaunt farmer traInped along
With long hickory stick in bis hand At
every lew steps he uttered a peculiar cry,
am whenever the sheep Jagged behind he
touched them up with his hickory stick. At
his heels, and bringing up the tail-end of the
procession, was long boiled, lean and
Scared shepherds dog He ran with his
nose close to the ground, ami apparently
paid litte attention to the drove But when
two OF tie sheep got astray, and trotted into
garden the dog jumped over the fence and
chased them back IN line in no time As he
forced them into the herd the sheep swerved
away from him. The dog trotted around
tho drove, making 1t still more compact in
form, and returned to his MASTER who by
this time was walking on the sidewalk be-
side the writer
"How many sheep are there therep
Guess"
"Well, about S00."
YOU'RE way off," said the man, with
good-natured grin. There's 3,32S."
"Where do you take them tor
"We drive them from here to Philadelphia,
selling them on the way to butchers or who
ever wants to buy them, and getting rid of
what remains in the City CT Brotherly Love"
"Ihey are owned in Philadelphia, are
they!"
NO, they amt" said the man, politely.
"Ihey are owned by A. B. Matthews, of
Kansas City, Mo-, and they travel about
fifteen miles day, and they're an Internal
nuisance"
After this he walked along in silence some
time, and then made general remark that
in nlicated that his life was not one of un-
a. oye h1ppinas.
"lf it wasn't fer that dorg," he said, kick
ing the rute alfectionately as he passed him,
my mate and me could never get this cat
tie through on time, but that animal is worth
ten men. Good sheep dorgs, you know, are
scarce now in this part of the country |
wouldn't take anything ON earth for mine
He's as fault!c IS as can be, and he knows
as much as any man, don't care who he is
Ii should tell you some Of the things the
dorg has done you'd call me liar, and as l
don't wish no such reputation I'll keep quiet"
Reflection caused by this thought over
came him, and he trudgei along in absolute
silence for some time. At last he raised his
head and continued: "When we get at the
end of days march, if we fad that three
or four Of the sheep are missing, l can send
that dorg back after them if they are ten
miles away, and it don't make no differ
ence where the shoep are or who's got them
that dorg will get them to me, or I'll eat the
whole drove, hoofs, bones, and wool"
