Some Things About the Mole Which You
Have Not Known Before.
What funny animal a mole is, is it
not? It looks as if it were always
asleep. I suppose you know that the
mole lives underground.
1t makes a long burrow under the
earth, finishing up by'making mound.
You may frequently see these mounds
in the country fields. The mole makes
these underground passages in search
of food. It devours all the worms and
grubs it comes across.
Many farmers believe that the mole
eats the roots of plants, ETC., and there
fore kill 1t.
Poor molel it does nothing Of The
kind. 1t does just the opposite. It eats
the grubs and worms that eat roots.
Another silly thing people used to be-
ieve about moles was that they had no
eyesl 1t has got eyes, but they are
hidden by its hair. Truly enough,
these eyes are not very good ones, but,
anyhow, the mole can see.--N. Y. Ad-

MARRY IN THE PROFESSION.
Janauschek Thinks Marriage ID All Rigl
h,,f. -fuI


Jsnauschek Thinks Marriage Is All Right
but Jealousy Awful
Should actors marry? Why notf Actors
are like other people; they have affection,
desires. pleasure, passion; have noble senti.
ments, morals, companionship-in fact, all
the attributes of people in other walks of
life, and to consign them to celibscy would
be unnatural and contrary to the command
of the Lord when he took part in the mar
riaze at Cana. It must be admitted that
marriage is honorable among all men, and
the Scripture especially enjoins that the
husband shall be the head of the wife, as
Christ is the head of the Church. I regard
marriage as condition not to be entered
upon without due consideration, and then
not unless the parties entertain the, strongest
and most endearing affection one for the
other. These considerations being observed.
there is no reason to think such union will
not be happy one, even among actors, and
l say actors because the nature of their rela-
tions to the mimic stage is frequently of
such character as to cause ungenerous and
unjust criticism from those who lose sight of
the artist, only seeing the man and woman
before them.
And this being the case, II would prob
ably be better, as a rule, for actors to marry
within the profession, as the outside partner,
unless possessed of more good sense and
judgment than we usually find in humanity,
will be apt to develop to large degree the
green-eyed monster, and make home val
ley of unrest and misery, and in that case
marriage, to that particular couple, would
be failure, il not crime.

MARRIAGES ON SPEC.

Isabelle Urquhart Has Some Fault to Find
With Stage Alliances.
Why is it that am asked for an opinion
on marriage? can only give vague reasons
for having any opinion on the matter what
soever. From observation should say that
there are marriages. and, then, there are
marriages. In our profession, as a rule,
they are made as contracts are, signed
hurriedly, without thought, and totally "on
spec" And sometimes, alasi the usual two
weeks notice on either side is an unwritten
part of the agreement.
Where there is true love between man and
woman there is nothing left them but mar
riage. Where there is not there should be
no marriage. I think about one man out of
a thousand to one woman in q hundred "a
ratio of one-tenth man to one woman) can
love sincerely and faithfully; consequently,
marriage should occur in about that propor.
tion. l don't mean bv this that one man
should marry ten women, or that all women
should marry ten times. Marriage, to me.
is like politics and religion-there is no
argument that will shake ones firm eonyic-
tions on these matters, and my firm COP
viction is that marriage is a very, very good
institution, when you are quite sure of it
being a success. The worst of it is, YOU
never can be surel
see no reason why actors and actresses
may not marry. They are separated con-
stantly, and all that, you say. That is no
excuse whatever. A true marriage of hearts
and souls will stand very much more trying
ordeals than separations.

90 OUTSIDE THE RANKS.

Senator Crane Gives an Interesting Leai
From his Experience
shall have to give you leaf from my
own personal experience. My married life
has been very happy one, and my wife has
always been my best friend and right-hand
man, so to speak. In fact, she is treasurer
of our company. My bank book bears the
name of E. G. Crane. She laughingly as
sures me many times that cannot draw
any money nor make out any checks with
out her signature; and it's the truth. She
6rst began to take care of the money more
from amusement than anything else; then,
when she realized what help it was to me,
she took complete charge. One season in
Boston, when we were playing at the Hollis
Street Theater, our business manager, in a
spirit of fun,- put her name on the bills as
E. C. Crane, Treasurer, and it has remained
so ever since.
don't see why actors and actresses should
not marry end be happy. if they marry out
of the profession, as it il very
hard and very unsatisfactory to be
separated and obliged to play in diff
ferent companies. II husband and wife could
be placed in the same company always, then
everything would arrange itself nicely; but
very few managers nowadays care to have
both man and wife, as it causes trouble. and
the anager has two to contend with then
instead of one only.
If an actor or actress Is desirous OF mar
riage, then let them endeavor to seek their
lite companion outside the ranks.

HARD TO GET 4 WIFE

Women Who Are Actors Equals Are Kept
Away From Them.
Mr.. Richard Mansfield, when asked for
an opinion on this subject, said: factors
are able to support their wives, why. there
fore, should they not have wives to support
do not think, however, that they are apt
to marry, for the reason that it is so difficult
for them TO secure wives-I mean wives who
would be their equals. am speaking now
of an actor in the best sense Of the word
that is, of gentleman who has adopted the
stage as means of livelihood, and who re-
tains with his profession his breeding and
gentle characteristIcs Such men rarely
marry, despite their ability to do so, for the
reason, as have said. that it is difficult
for them to secure women who are intellect
ually and socially their equals. They have
not many opportunities for knowing such
women, though they will be afforded
almost endless opportunities for meeting
them. An actor of the rank and standing
am describing fnds the door of almost any
home open to him; he Is asked to dine, per-
haps even to visit with most desirable
hosts, and allowed to become 'chummy'
with the sons; but the line is distinctly
drawn with a close hand when he attempts
TO make love TO the daughters. The feeling
which prompted the passing of a law in
Queen Eliz ibeth's time making an actor "a
vagabond and an outcast' exists in but
slightly modified form to this day.
"An acquaintance of at least a short
duration is primary to a falling In love,
and with the possibilities for such an &C.
quaintance prevented bv vigilant circum-
stance, and with the diffic ulties increased
by the nomadic nature of the actors life,
the opportunity is, indeed, lacking. But
provided an actor can find woman who
will be real wife to him, there can surely
be no good reasons to urge ior his celibacy."

LYDIA THOMPSON SAYS YES.
She Thinks Actors as a Glass Have q Perfect
Right to Get Married.

She Thinks Actors as a Glass Have Perfect
Right to Get Married.
G I do not think any particular profession
should be so jealous of its members as to
prevent marrying and giving in marriage.
Actors should certainly marry. but, to my
mind, it is question whether they should
marry in the profession if they intend to
keep their wives on the stage. Where the
actor-husband and the actress-wife have to
act from season to season in different COM
panies, then decidedly. think the actor
should not marry. This separation natur-
ally leads to legal separation. To my
mind, much of the divorce scandal pre-
valent in the profession is due primarily
to husband and wife playing in different
companies.
Where the actor keeps his wife off the
stage, then l can see no reason why he
shoulc not marry. Even if he plays in the
same company with his wife, he is wise in
marrying. If the question is asked, should
actors, as class, marry? I would certainly
answer in the Affirmative. From a moral
standpoint, marriage would not injure an
actor, and I do not think that counubial
bliss is inimical to success upon the stage.
History tells that the great tragedian, Ed
mund Kean, was married and had three or
more children when he made his great hit
in London. Perhaps the thought that his
wife and children would starve unless he
succeeded gave him the courage and the
ambition necessary to electrify his critical
audience the first night of his appearance
Marriage oitentimes puts a man on his
mettle. arouses him from his lethargy, and
makes him push forward with an energy
and courage that means success.
Actors should marry with discrimination.
A hasty and i'll advised match oftentimes
proves fatal to the success of an actor.

st. LOUIS Globe Democrat, whose wife could
not sleep in the same bed with him because
he was liable at any time to strike her in the
face while he was asleep. It was the worst
case of resilessuess iE sleep 1 ever saw. He
was sleep walker who didn't walk, but
used his hands in his dream-ideas just AZ if
they were real. He had fairly beaten the
plastering from the wall on that side OF the
bed. The case wasso strange that sat by
his bedside one night to watch him.
His sleep was quiet for some time, and
then he commenced to murmur unintel-
ligibly and draw his arms up and down.
Suddenly he clinehed his fists and struck
out with his right as hard as he could. He
was lying on his left side. facing me, so that
his blow was wasted on the empty air. 1
awakened him, and he told me after q while
that he remembered dreaming of being at

Owned by o Ds&con's Wife and Dropped

Boston Herald.1
At every meeting Of the Congregational
Sunday school superintendents someone tells
good story in illustration Of some point
which he wishes to bring out. The meeting
last night in Berkeley Temple took up
again the topic that was left unfinished at
the last monthly meeting, "Whst Can the
Sunday School Learn From the Public
School?'' This subject gradually led up to
the "Choice, Tenure and Change Of Teach
ers in the sunday School," In which Mr..
G. W. Carter spoke at length. His re-
marks led to . very funny story By Mr.. e. o.
Bullock.
Mr.. Carter spoke Of the necessity Of having
good teachers as something which everyone
admitted, but he recognised the fact that to
get the best tokchers was an exceedingly diff
ficult thing. To change teachers often was
a great injury to school. and he thought,
therefore, that 1t was often better to keep q
teacher who was not strictly frst-class
rather than risk the alternative and hurt the
teachers feelings deeply, besides.
AThen Mr.. Bullock arose.
'There was once country parish" he
said, "where the choir was led for very
long time by the wife of one Of the deacons.
For ten years she sang accepta5lY to the
people, and for several years more she did
not sing acceptsbly. Then it was made
worse by her getting Q set of false teeth.
These teeth came out one day when she was
singing, and the deacon's wife didn't likeit.
"The minister and the congregation
didn't like it, either. But the former was
like Brother Carter, and said, we will wait
a while. 1t would be too bad to hurt the
feelings of the deacon's wife, So he waited.
The teeth came out good many times dur
ing next year or 80, but the deasOn's wife
still sang. When her teeth came out. of
course, some of the congregation laughed.
Finally the minister was obliged to do
something He deereed that if the deaeon's
wife was to sing in the choir the congrega-
ton should stand back to the choir.
'Some of the congregation complied, some
didn't. That created o division in the
church. Neither side would yield an inch,
and to-day there are two churches where
there was then only one, all because the
minister was afraid of hurting the feelings
of the deacon's wife"

that registry OF her birth. Extraordinary
preservation of youth and health has been
the feature of the race. Her daughter, Mrs.
