The Florida agriculturist., 1889-03-06

Tom bod worked himself up into a
violent rage, and the manager tried to
calm him.
Don't be fool, Johnson, he said;
''think it o yer and come down to my
house. Smith (that was the leading
man) will lie there and Robinson (the
stage manager), and we'll talk it over
quietly. / must go now. must call on
Miss Blank and see If she can play Mary
Walters tomorrow night"
''Miss Blank? Why, Miss Dash is going
to play it."
"What, haven't you heard? She was
thrown out of her cab going home from
the rehearsal last night, and won't be.
able to play for month"
Tom groaned and flung himself back
on the pillow.
Everything in the play depends upon
Mary Walters" he said, land you are
going to have it played at twelve hours
notice by girl who's never seen a line
Of the part yet"
"What are we to do?'
81 don't know, groaned johnson, "Tll
come round presently. believe this
play will drive me mad"
An hour later Tom was going down
stairs growing and groaning to himself,
when Rose came out Of her boudoir.
"Going out, Tom? Why, you haven't
had your breakfast.
''I can't eat morsel," said Tom. I'm
done up, Rose. | wish I'd been at Jeri-
cho before became dramatic author"
\ x
Monday night came, and Tom,, in a
state Of high fever brought on by over
work and anxiety and late hours, walked
up and down outside the theatre, trying
to sum up courage to go in. He had cut
out the last act; he had given Miss Black
one hurried rehearsal; he had quarreled,
with the leading villain, who had told
him before the whole company that the
play was rot; he had gone home in a vile
temper, and made Rose cry her eyes out,
and now, in a state bordering on delir-
ious fever, he was awaiting the verdict
on q play which had cost him months Of
anxious thought, and on which the man
agement had expended thousands of
pounds.
eff it's failure I'll never write again,
gfOanoQ .1Om.
Just then a man came hurriedly out of
the stage door.
Curtain up YETI" asked Tom, nerv-
ously.
e'No, sir; there's something gone wrong
with the scene in the first act, and the
mechanical change won't work through
it. I'm just going out to see if | can
find Mr.. -. They say it'll be half an
hour before it will be put right"
Tom rushed into the theatre. AS he
went upon the stage he could hear the
audience stamping and shouting. 1t was
then five minutes past the time the cur
tain should have gone up.
Everybody was bustling about, and
there was evidently something wrong.
''It's all right" said the stage man
ager, coming up to Tom and trying to
ease his mind. Its not SO bad as we
thought. Well ring up directly. We
can get it right dare say, while the
first scene is playing. If not, l must
come on and explain there's been an ac-
cident.
Tom groaned and rushed out into the
street again. "Oh my poor play, my
poor play" he cried, sits damned before
it's begun:
An hour and half later Tom, pale,
shivering, clutching his hands together
in nervous excitement, crept into the
back of the pit The third act was just

how I've been longing for 10 o'clock to
be able to thank you"
''I'm sure we're very pleased" !" STAN
mered Rose, "but of course it's very odd.
I don't like to ask you, but-er-would
you like anything to eat?"
The fairy laughed silvery laugh.
"Oh, no." she said, 'fairies are never
hungry. Besides, / want you to be kind
enough to open the window for me and
let me fly away. If can get back to
fairyland before dawn, may find my
protectress, who will take away the spell
that has been put upon me-.
''Oh, certainly" said Tom, with pleas
ure;" and he was proceeding to open the
window when he recollected the fairy
had cost him 10 shillings, and that the
transaction would be dead loss to him.
The fairy evidently guessed what was
passing in Toms mind, for she flew
gracefully off the mantelpiece and came
and stood on the table beside him.
81 will not be ungrateful, she said;
''as a reward for your kindness can
grant you one wish, whatever it is"
"Oh Toni" exclaimed Rose, who had
gradually shaken off her nervousness.
"Wish to be dramatic author"
Tom was always an obedient husband
(that was why he was SO happy, and SO
he said at once, 81 wish to be dramatic
author
Certainly" said the fairy. go to
bed, and tomorrow when you wake up
you will be one. Now, thank you very
much, and good night" The fairy kissed
her little hand to the young couple,
spread her wings and flew away into the
moonlight. Tom and Rose watched her
as far as they could see her, then closed
the window and retired to rest.
The next morning when Tom woke up
he had splitting headache, and he felt
so awfully seedy he could hardly sit up
to look at his watch.s
'By Jove!" he exclaimed, ''it's 12
o'clock?"
Then he looked round for Rose and
found she wasn't there.
''Rose! Rose!" he called out, ''where
are your"
Rose came running in from the next
room.
''Oh, you are awake at last, Tom,"
she said. "Will you have cup of tear
81 think SO; L By Jove! I'm aw-
fully i'll, and can hardly open my eyes,"
ST don't wonder at it," said Rose; sit
was 6 o'clock this morning when you
came home"
'Oh, ah, yes! remember said Tom,
sitting up and looking round the large,
elegantly furnished bedroom. ga beastly
all night dress rehearsal. And I've got
to go down to the theatre again today
and see that scene. I have to alter the
situation at the last minnie to suit the
scene, because the scene itself can't be
altered in time"
"Was Mr.. Smith any better tempered
last night"
emo; he swears its the worst part he
ever played, and he's sure that it will be
a frost; and Miss Brown won't have that
speech cut out; she says it's the only
good one she has, and I'm sure that it
will be goosed, and it comes just at a
critical point"
Tom was just going to lie down again
till the tea came, when a servant come up.
"Please, sir, Mr.. Jones has called, and
he says he must see you at once"
"Oh, bother!ns said Tom. Whats the
matter now? Ask him to come up"
Rose went down, and presently Mr..
Jones, the manager Of the theatre where
Johnson's drama was to be produced on
Monday evening, came in.

About Sleeping Alone.

1t is very much healthier to sleep alone.
The unhealthfulness Of two persons occupy
ing the same bed very much depends on the
physical condition of either or both. If one
is diseased, injury to the other is sure to re-
suit. The practice is unhealthful because the
exhalatons from the body OF one come in con-
tact with and are absorbed by the skin of the
other, and because each ono must, of neces-
sity, breathe some of the air which has been
brcathod by the other, and consequently
rendered impure

check on him and his expenses.
| After this prelude he is to tell the con.
dition Of the ventilation Of the car, whether
the hand ratings are wiped, the platforms
swept, and the stepping box put out at i'm.
poltant stations. The agent must observe
whether the porter uses the stepping box
and wears his jacket in making berths and
III putting them up again, and whether the
conductor assists the porter when the pas
sengers are in hurry to go to bed. The
technical expression of the report is: eff
Conductor assists Porter in making up and
down bcrths when passengers are in hurry
to retire. Conductor and Porter in the re-
port arc spelled with capital letters, as be-
comes men of Importance. The agent is to
watch If soilcd linen is exposed unneces-
sarily, and if the conductor or porter drink,
played cards, smoke, or take maps when
they ought to be awake. If the conductor
or porter pays visits to other cars or leave
their own car for a moment, the special
agent is to report them. They are also to
be reported If they are unduly familiar.
The porter is to be reported if he does not
occupy a position commanding view of
the berths while he blacks shoes, and the
conductor is to be reported if he allows
train employees to remain in the body of the
car Trainmen must stay in the ends of the
car 49,
One side Of the folded report is to tell
these things. On the other side is blank
for detailed statement of every berth in
the car, both upper and lower The
berths occupied blythe conductor and porter
are to be marked specially The occupant
of each berth is to be given and the dis.
lance he travels. At the foot is marking
space for the manner and efficiency of the
conductor and the porter. When the blank
is filed out it is turned in at the company's
office. 1t is not likely that the special agent
can get much sleep if the train makes many
stops. He would have to be watching the
passengers to see who got on and off.

1t may not be known to every one that
there is a law regulating the making of the
American flag. The law Of 1918 requires
that on the Fourth of July following the adj
mission Of State new star shall be added
to the blue field of the flag. There are now
thirty eight States in the Union, and there
should be thirty eight stars in the field of
the flag. Many of the cheap flags have not
the requisite number of stars, because it is
much easier to have stars in rows, with an
even number each way, which can not be
secured with thirty-eight.

Santa Fc, the city of the Holy Faith of
ct. Francis, is the capital OF New Mexico,
trade center, sanitary, archepiscopal
see, and district military headquarters.
1t is the oldest seat of civil and religious
government on American soil. When
Cabeza de Baca penetrated the valley OF
the Rio Grande in 1888 he found Santa
Fe a hourishing pueblo village. The his.
tory of its first European settlement was
lost, with most of the early records of the
territory, by the destruction of all the
archives in 1850; but the earliest men.
ton of it shows it then to have been the
capital and the center of commerce

To Theater Owners. Managers and Whom it
May Concern
This is to certify that have equipped the
Windsor theater in this city with the Lind
gren stationary chemical fire engines. After
examining all other systems Of fire protection,
and after repeated tests Of the Lindgren sta
tiOnary chemical fire engine, and upon the re-
of the insurance under-writ-
ers, have no hesitation in pronouncing it
the cheapest and most powerful, as well as
perfect, fire protection for theaters ever in
vented, In my opinion every theater ard
opera house in the United States, as well as
Europe, should be equipped with these chem
ical fire engines. and thus save the loss of life
and thousands of dollars in property,
