A Very Obstinate Bridegroom.

Clara Belle in Cincinnati Enquirer.
Well, we are accorded the privilege
of crankiness. On my way home from
Lennox / stayed oyer night in an Al
bany hotel. | heard some chamber
maids laughing fit to kill, and ! made
them tell me the cause of their merri-
ment. A bridegroom and bride had
been stopping several days in the
house. Every morning the pillows
indicated that the wife had slept with
her head at the foot Of the bed, and
now the servants had solved the rid
die by asking her to explain. She re-
piled that, as shehad been told, it was
far healthier to lie always with the
bead northward. The head-board of
this bedstead was in the wrong direc-
ton. Now. mark the obstinacy of this
husband, and think of the amount
that he has yet to learn before he can
get along comfortably in wedlock.
He didn't care a continental whether
his noddle pointed to the north pole
or the south, or turned to Ill points
of compass during the night like the
shadow of d dial in moonlight. But
he was too mulish to say: "Ali right,
darling; + will turn the bedstead the
opposite way" No, sir; he maintain
ed that the dear creatures onsense
wasn't sensible, and persistently lay
with his piggy head to the south. So
the bride had to reverse herself; and
think OF what a ridiculous sight they
would have made if there had been a
fire and ~unfeeling men had broken in
ito rescue them?

A Gamblers Family.

New York Letter to Philadelphia News.
Some of the tragedies of real life in
the metropolis are stranger than any
fiction Ihavee ever read. know OF Zone
which has not yet got into the local
papers, but probably will some day.
More than q generation ago q man,
who was known as q banker in Louis
vile, KY, married s. beautiful woman
in that city, by whom he hadin a few
years six or the most beautiful daugh-
ters. He was inJulgent to them In o.
degree which was the marvel of the
city in which he lived; he brought
them up in comparative ignorance;
though all were unusually bright. One
day during the war he was suddenly
compelled to leave Louisville and fly
to Canada. Then it came out that he
robbed a. United States Paymaster
named Cook OF 1896, 900 at cards, and
his wife learned for the first time that
his business of banking involved SIM
ply the keeping of a faro bank.
She concealed this factfrom her chill
dren and fed to New York with them
to hide in this great metropolis. She
succeeded. She reared these girls In
an exemplary way, notwithstanding
she was compelled TO receive from her
dishonest husband the fruits of his
swindling at cards. She bore it for
years until she had married of oil her
six daughters; then she refused further
aid from her husband. All this time
the children remained in ignorance of
their fathers character and business
and were proud of him. Suddenly, a
few years ago, he died, and the New
York papers : I'D the true story of his
criminal life, and the daughters learned
what thei. father had been. One
died from the shock. The Others with
drew themselves from all acquaint-
ance with old friends. One, whose
husband was equally fond and proud
OF her, refused to let her hide her head
in secrecy and pine away. The other,
her father s favorite, and who hadmore
than her share offamily pride and who
hadnot infrequently twitted her hand
some husband with the fact that he
was Sin trade while herfather was a
barker, in the first shock of the w
lation of the real character Of her faith
er abandoned her home, turned to dis
sipation in drink to some extent and
to gambling desperately, and finally,
in the course of only two years of
| shame, has descended to the low leyel
Of the mistress Of a faro banker.

"In character representation" said
the actor, "a good makeup is es-
sential. In many cases it will pull q
bit of bad actingthrough. Until with
in the past few years the English actors
excelled the native-born Americans in
this regarl, but the latter have picked
up and now average second to none in
the art of making up. Butts q great
study. OF couIse the actors face
should correspond with his conception
of the character to be portrayed. A
picture must be drawn in the mind or
the character to be represented, and
then transferred to the face of the ac-
tor. This maintains consistency with
the lines he speaks. Careful artists
study this in the mirror before apply
inga line to thefeatures. Twill demon
strate to YOU"
The actor had adjusted his tights
and approached the glass in a corner
of the little dressing-room. The re-
porter looked over his shoulder, and
the customary handsome features
were contracted out OF shape. His
brows were elevated in an extrava-
CANT way. and irregular burrows ran
longitudinally over his forehead.
Grows feet" were in the corners Of
his eyes, and by a dropping OF the
lower jaw the deep lines were made
down from the base of the lose on
either side, the mouth assuming q
crescent shape. Theface In an instant
had been transformed from yonth to
enfeebled age.
"Now, that's an expression I'll
maintain on my facefor the next two
hours and a half while I'm on the
stage. Painful? No.not particularly.
SO tractable that, like other exercise,
it has no wearying results. But that's
not enough. Itwould be sufficient for
those with opera-glasses, but even then
we must ~exaggerate nature bit"
He then proceeded to lay founda-
ton of pulverized chalk, applying it
with a piece of channels skin. This he
evidently distributed, making a sur
face, as a painter would prepare his
canvas. This completed, his face as
sumed the expression of the old man
described. From the makeup box"
he produced several little sticks of
grease Iaint of many colors and COM
binstioi,s of shades, and proceeded to
accurately follow the lines indicated.
He blended these with a camel's hair
pencil until they expressed the desired
effect. A, touch of rouge here, and a
little India inkand yellow ochre there,
and the picture was completes
wrinkled, old man, hollow-cheeked
and eccentric looking.
"Wait q bit. Ihave not finished"
he said. "Now, this would be suffi-
GENTLY strong for the naked eye, but /
must make up for the opera-glass and
strike a medium"
The channels skin was again brought
into use, and a perfect transparent
surface was formed, showing the deep
lines beneath. The transormation
was completed.
"As | said in the beginning" he re-
marked, turning from the glass, "a
good make up goes a great distance in
this business, and some men, although
born between acts, as n might say,
never learn the art. Tina villainously
bad actor. / know it. But | believe
this is what / draw my little old $50a
week salary for"

The faculty of the Ohio Wesleyan

attended a production of Richard
