How Edwin Booth Game to Play Richard
HI. for the First Time.
Edwin Booths first engagement was
with Thad Barton to play utilities at
50 week. His father wanted him to be a
lawyer but consented reluctantly to allow
hlm to go upon the stage He advanced
rapidly. At the end of the season.
the elder Booth played an engage
ment at the Front and on the last night
lie played "BrutuS: or the Fall of Tar
quin.' Edwin essayed the character of
Titus. 1t was dire failure. After this
he Travelled with his father-was his con-
slant attendant. His first appearance in
a prominent part was at the Boston mus
cum. on the 10th of September. 1919 The
company being short, he undertook at
short notice, the part of Tressel, with the
el der Booth as Richard Ill, and did we'll.
His next appearance Of note was at the
Chatham, New York in 1851 His father
was announced as Richard H., and this
led indirectly to Edwin attempting that
character. On this particular night as he
and his son were preparing to go to the
theater, he suddenly changed his mood
and refused to start, saying he was i'll and
unable to perform.
Edwin suggested that he rouse himself
to the effort, at least presenting himself
at the theater thinking that when within
the building he would forego his strange
resolve. He reminded his father how we'll
he had rehearsed and how well in health
he mad been all day. but no argument
coull move him.
What will they do without you, fa-
ther?" the son said. Who can they sub
stitute at the last moment?'
Go on and act it yourself, y was the
curt reply.
There was great dismay at the old man S

CHAPTER xxvu.-EIILEl

After that ever thing fell out very much
as Mrs. Stephen had intended. The fol-
lowing morning Stephen went up to town,
and when Julia came down the morning
after that for breakfast, she brought with
her the news that he had an appointment
with Sir Fergus Tiffany for that morning
at one O'clock.
And about three o'clock in the after
noon, just as they were going out for a
drive. she received a telegram which said.
Il saw Fergus Tiffany this morn ing.

once Come back as soon as you conven-

looking doubtfully at Miss Theodosa.
''My dear" said the old lady. "God for

Pray go at once, nv dear, and your maid
shall follow with your things by the six
o'clock train If she can get ready to catch it.
II not she shall come by the first train in
the morning If you go to the station now
you will just get across in time to eaten
the next train up 30 town"
Thus hurried, Julia ran mp to her room,
asked her maid for her jewel and dress
ing-case, took travelng-clo,k aud ono
on her journey and was down stairs again
before the carriage was at the door.
Il am so sorry to leave YOU like this"
she said to Miss Theodosia, as they bowlsd

You may imagine the state of poor
Julia's feelings, how she writhed and
grOaned within herself, how her cheeks
burnt aud her eyes seemed afraid to look
up and encounter the kind orbs of the
sweet old lady who had been wronged 50
fearrully by that dreadful society.

expected to say something.

A FEMALE GU sTOMs BROKER.
A Lady ofTwenty-One Years who Conducts
Prosperous business.

A modest appearing young lady came
into the office of Appraiser of Customs
Burdsall, says the Pittsburg Dispatch,
said something to that official in a low
voice, received her answer. smiled her re-
ply and went quietly away. Beyond an
attractive face and pretty ways her coming
would call for no comment, especially by
any one bent on business. She Miss H. r.
Groser, Cincinnati S female custom house
broker, probably the only lady in the world
engaged In that business. She is great
success and has the largest business in that
line in the city, and is another example of
what women can do when given an equal
chance with men.
The business Is a most difficult one, and
is about the last one that young lady
would think of engaging in. Miss Groser
is decidedly young and pretty and celebrat-
ed her twenty-hrSt birthday in July. 1t is
an extraordinary business in It's numerous
details in which she is engaged. She must
know the different ratings and figures, the
duties on every manner of goods from every
country under the sun. The bills are made
out in the coins of the country from which
they come and she must reduce that to
United States currency. She must be
posted on the tariff laws and regulations.
Miss Groser has the patronage and con-
tidence of the largest importing firms in
Cincinnati. Their goods are consigned
direct to her. She figures up the duties,
pays it, and delivers up the goods She
can handle drayman to perfection, de-
spite her Occurrences. Miss GrOser's
father was formerly u customs house brol-
er. He died and her sister took up the
business and after two years gave 1t up.
Miss Grocer was too young then but
several years later determined to earn
her own living and soon received the
patronage of her fathers old CUSTOMERS.
Her sharp business methods soon brought
additional customers and to-day she is
the leading custom house broker in the

What Dynamite Can Do.

Shooting a candle through two inch

is being outdone by dynamite, which is SO
quick II its action that tender green leaf
can be compressed into the hardest steel
before it has time to fatten. One of the
experiments of the United States torpedo
works was to place leaves between heavy,
pieces of iron, set them on a firm founda-
ton and see what gun-cotton would do IN
forcing the iron pieces together. The re-
action was so great from just being ex-
ploded In the open air that one Of the iron
pieces was driven down upon the other
quick enough to catch an exact and COM
plete impression of the leaves before the
leaves could escape. 1t Is also q singular
fact that the gun-cotton itself could sink
deep into the iron when 1t explodes, show

cartridge.

4 Jnpanese Niwht Ride.

From An Artists Letters from
Japan" 10y John La Fargo, in the Octo-
Der Century, we quote the following:
I'VE had now to take a long night ride,
and at length we rushed out into the
moonlight, our fourteen runners appear
ing and disappearing as we came in and
out of the shadows in the long procession
of our train.
I'VE wnirled past the houses of the
small town, indiscreetly close to the paper
screens, lighted from within, against
which were prohied the shadows of faces.
sometimes with pipes or cups lifted to
their lips or the outlines of coiffures
piled ups to the bead-all pictures more
Japanese than their very originals; then
between rounded hills on which stood
masses of maple trees; then near to empty
spaces of water; then sank into dark hol-
lows, at the bottom of which a river ran
as fast the other way.
Il watched and looked as long as
fatigue allowed, but fell asleep in the un-
comfortable kuruma, walked every now
and then 10y sudden jolt to my extended
arm and head

Japanese poet would have said that it was
the spray from of the oars of some heaven
ly boat which sailed that night across the
starry stream Of the Milky Way.

of the castle OF the city of Osaka, and ran
acros its many bridges, all silent in the
morning

The Nam moths.

The great Siberian mammoth. species
of elephant Of this period was from six
teen to eighteen feet high and twice as
heavy rs any elephant existing to-day. Its
tusks were from ten to fifteen feet long and
curved upward with great sweep. We
know all about this animal, for at least
two specimens retaining the skin and the
hair have been found preserved in the ice
in such perfect condition that dogs and
wolves have fed on the meat when it had
been dug out of the ice. Its body was
covered with long black hair and red wool
Its trunk was like the elephants, but its
legs were shorter. The further north
naturaitS go. the more remains of this
animal are found in the ice. There must
have been a temperate climate in the place
over which they roamed; for the hair.
while it shows TIE animal could resist some
cold, Is not heavy enough to ward off the
cold that exists at present in Arctic regions.
Nor if the present low temperature had
prevailed there. would there have been food
for these vast herds. 1t is inferred that
the cold came suddenly, and killed them:
if they had been dead any length of time
before the ice enveloped them there would
have been some decay.-St Nicholas
