could draw and paint we'll she turned her
talent to account by giving instructions to
classes She did quite well for a time, but
of course the fad was short lived, and when
it died out the plucky little mother hardly
knew which way to turn.
1t was at this depressing period of her
career that one of her babies died of scar
let fever, while diphtheria carried off an
other. Miss Robson was discouraged. She
didn't know what to do She had not
even recited in public, but in sheer des-
peraticn she determined to get ON the
stage in some capacity. Meanwhile she
had been eking out precarious existence
by painting and designing dinner cards.
ornamental plaques, ETC., for Tiffany and
other like firms.
When Miss Robson went to apply for a
place on the stage she met with many dis
couragements, but finally got an engage
ment in a melodrama, in which She
enacted two characters One of these was
dialect part and in that Miss Robson
made hit. Her work since then has been
almost entirely confined to character and
dialect, and in this line she is probably the
superior Of any woman on the American
stage. LUCY LAWN.

THE MASTERY OF LOVE.

Love was stranger,
without lock or key
He unlocked my bosom
And took my heart from me.
Now my heart is subject -
Everywhere go.
Be a gentle master, Love,
To one who loves you SO.
In few days and weeks. ~
In q few months or years,
Love brought me sorrow.
And the salt, salt tears. "
oh, Love. come with laughter.
Or Love, come with woe.
Deal but gently with the heart
That leans upon you so.
The bees wing is fragile. ~
The lark's egg Is small.
s. That you took was little,
But IL was my all.
Bear the captive where you will,
To high estate or low,
But be gentle master. Love,
To one who loves you so.

Fatal Amateur Contest.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 29.-Charles Volka.
the well known prize fighter, and Bob
Brown, two young men who have fought
in professional rings before, met last
night. 1t will probably prove fatal to
Brown. One hundred and fifty Cincin-
matt sports boarded the ferry boat with
the contestants and went down the river.
When ten miles down, ring was formed
on the lower deck and the fight begaAl.
For thirteen rounds it was bruising
contest, honors being even. In the
fourteenth round VOlks gave Brown a
full length upper cut which met him
full on the jaw. He staggered and tried
to keep his feet, but in vain. Time was
called for the fifteenth round and Brown,
more dead than alive, tried to stagger in.
Volks hit him again and he fell in a
heap. Browns father who was a spec
tator, then rushed in and stopped the
fight. The contest was given to Volks.
Brown was unconscious, and on the trip
back to the city every effort was made
to restore him, but in vain. Arriving in
Cincinnati after midnight Brown was
carried away on a stretcher, apparently
in q dying condition.
