GIRLS AND THE STAGE.
Good Advice to Those Who Would Be
Actresses.

Good Advice to Those Who Would Be
Actresses.
From the Ladies' Home Journal
have had great many letters from among
my girls asking me my opinion of their going on
the stage. 1t becomes one of the most difficult
to answer. There are good, honest, noble, God
fearing people on the stage; the theatre may be
to the mass of people great school for morals;
but to the one girl standing in the ranks waiting
to work her way forward it is working ground
where temptation is on every side. If she is
strong enough to resist this, then let her go
ahead. If she be one of the weaker sisters, then
let her think many times before she puts herself
in position that will certainly entail great
deal of watchfulness and hard work The life
of the actress is as full of hard work as is that
of the girl who stands behind the counter or the
one who is mistress of the telegraph key. Do
not imagine that the gold glittering on the gown
of the beautiful adventures is symbol of the
golden life she leads, and do not believe that the
life of the simpering ngenue who wonders with
a smile show anybody ever does any workn is
not just as full of study and absolute physical
work as is that of most other women. She works
till late at night, consequently she must sleep
little in the morning She gets up then and goes
to long and tlresome rehearsal, then only has
time to get bite and half an hours sleep or
reading before she starts again for the theatre.
But YOU think there are others who do not work
in this way. Yes, yes But they are the ones
that you do not want to initiate. Mrs. Kendall
has said that for the woman who has some talent
and who is willing to work and wait there is
success on the stage, and it pays better than al
most any other profession, but during the wait
ing years there must be constant watch kept, so
that scandal does not touch with its burning
tongue the woman who is working for success
So think it out well for yourself; conclude
whether you not only have heart to resolve a
head to contrive, and hand to execute, but
whether you really have the talent that must be-
long to the actress. The world is all stage
and the men and women merely players, but
you may be cast for the happy wife and mother.
So don't make the mistake, if you are round
peg, of getting into a square hole.

SANTA FE, IN. NJ, Jan. 3.-Advices
from San Juan county, New Mexico,
are that Sunday, as John and Ike Cox
and jack Smith were riding. across the
mesa east Of Henry Kifilin's ranch they
were fred upon by a band Of Navajo
Indians. Monday the men, accompanied
by Henry Wood and six others, making
party OF ten, returned to the place and
were again fired upon by the Indians.
About forty shots were exchanged and
one Indian Iwasrikilled.r q The Indians
fired from ambush on the second day
and forced the cowboys to retreat The
trouble grew out OF the fact that the Cox
brothers found an Indian in possession
OF freshly butcnered steer and when
accused of killing the animal he did not
deny it, but replied in a string Of abusive
language, and as the party turned to
leave fired shot, after them. Much
feeling is manifested toward the Indian
agent for allowing bis wards OF the res.
ervation. Further. serious trouble is
anticipated. L u 1850, Il /

Il The Witness II think there can be
hardly any question but that 1t would

think that the effect OF free, wool would

aud the moment We begin 10 take from

and public show by which there was an

fually agreed by opposing counael and
Mayor Brashear to accept a plea oil
guilty, for the company, by the manager.
This was done and fine of $40, which
included costs, was assessed. ,i5: -ii,
