Almost a Tragedy.

A company of local talent started out
to do few one night stands as a flier
with the hope that enough would be in
it to justify the manager III etfecting a
permanent organization for the winter
After the first night the company re-
turned.
Whats the natter" asked a friend
of the manager
"Oh, Thought l would lay the COM
pany off for awhile "
Didn't you open to a good business?"
"Well, not eXactly-that is, we
didn't have much of an audience when
the curtain went up, but there was a
full house in the last act. "
"How did that happen? People catch
on to what good show it was?"
"Not exactly. You see everybody had
got out before the last act except one
fellow, and he was so full that he
couldn't and we played the piece out
on him. detroit Free Press.

was determined to secure a good cduca
ton, and he did so despite many obstacles.
He attended the Lyons lyceum, and by
diligcnt study carried off many prizes, and
had just been admitted to the Superior
normal school, which furnishes the high
est professors, when France and Germany
let slip the dogs of war in 1870.
Young Burdcau was one of the first
volunteers to spring to the defense of
France, and he soon demonstrated that
he was as thoroughly at home with a bay
onct as he had previously been with a
book. He fought with great bravery and
was severely wounded and taken prisoner
by the Germans in 1871. He was carried
off to Germany, but managed to escape.
After the war he became professor of
philosophy at st. Etienne, and later
filled the same chair in the famous Lv-
ceum Louise lie Grand in Paris NJ Bur
dcau had thus far proved an excellent
iron foundry apprentice, diligcnt and
brainy student brave soldier and an
erudite and capable professor. Enter
ing the field of literature, he soon be-
came well known as contributor to The
Revue DIES Deux Mondcs and The Revue
Philosophique, as the founder of a period
ical called Correspondence Univcrsitaire,
Us all u1lt W IIltI VII plllIO9vpllN anu III W
and as translator OF the works of Schopen-
hauer and Herbert spencer.
He next turned his versatile band to
politics In 1881 NJ. Paul Bert, minister
of public instruction, appointed NJ. Bur
dcau chief of his bureau. In 1855 the de-
partmcnt of the Rhone elected him a
member Of the chamber of deputies, where
he displayed his sterling rcpublicanism by
voting for the exile from Franco of the
heads Of former ruling families He was
reelected to the chamber at Lyons in 1885
and was one of the four commissioners
sent by France to attend the international
conference which Emperor William called
in Berlin for the purpose of considering
the labor problem
He was minister of marine in the Loubct
and Ribot cabinets and minister Of finance
under Premier Casimir Perer. Whcr
Casimir- Perier was elected president o
France, he asked NJ. Burdeau to ofiiciat,
as his premier, but NJ. Burdeau preferred
the presidency Of the chamber. An at
tempt was made to blacken his character
during the Panama canal exposures, bu
it failed signally.

Land Tenure In England.

The facts with regard to land tenure in
: the United Kingdom are such, one would
fancy, as should rivet the attention of ev
cry thinking man. "Of the ~ 600, 000
acres in this country" says The Financial
Reform Almanack for 1892, 80 600, OO0

and of these 10000 600 no less than 80,
90, 900 are owned by ZOO persons" 1t is
estimated that, leaving out blocks of un-
der an acre in extent, some $50, 524 per

Nothing Original About Him.

One Of the greatest SORROWS of famous
personages is that it is impossible to
live up to the ideal opinion which the
people whom they meet in the ordinary
affairs of life have formed of them.
1t is recorded that certain literary
man of high reputation had occasion to
remark to a waiter in the restaurant
where he sometimes lunches:
Waiter, this beefsteak is tough"
The waiter looked at him with sor-
rowful expression and sighed deeply.
Perhaps you will tell me, " said the
literary man, why you sigh in that
fashion.
"Ah, sir, said the waiter, II took
you for a man who always said original
things, and here you come and say just

Romantic Love Story of Novelist Barrie and
Miss Mary Amsell, the Actress.

james NJ. Barrie, the famous author who
wrote Tho Little Minister" may well be
called a latter day Pygmalion. Every one
remembers how the great sculptor of Cy-
prus carved such IA surprisingly beautiful
ivory statue that he lost his heart to it,
In answer to his prayers Venus breathed
the breath of life into the cold ivory, and
the lovely woman thus formed became the
wife of the happy sculptor Not long ago
Mr.. Barrie wrote play which he called
Walker, London, and in which he por-
traycd his ideal young English girl, free
as the air, modest as the violet full of
life and spirits, and a bit of a romp. it IS
true, but pure as the limuid waters of a
spring
After he had created her it does not az
pear that Mr. Barrie prayed to Thespi- to
breathe life into the veins Of his charming
English heroine, but Thespis took the
matter into his own hands, and when the
curtain fell on the first night of Walker
London" Pygmalion Barrie had seen his
living Galatea in the person of Miss Mary
Ansell, the charming English actress who
impersonated his ideal in the play. Mr..
Barrie was too great n lover of a good
dramatic situation to allow the incident
to end there He promptly fell in love witt

1t is an odd coincidence that the oppos-
ing leaders in the great Pullman boycott
both began life at the bottom of the ladder
and in much the same way. Eugene V.
Debs, president of the American Railway
union, who started the boycott was a
painter in the Nandalia shops at Terre
Haute. John NJ. Egan, chairman of the
general managers strike committee and
leader in the railroads great fight against
the boycott, was originally an apprentice
in the machine shops of the Illinois Cen
trail at Amboy, Ills. From these modest
beginnings both men have climbed To the
top rounds of the respective ladders that
stretched above thcm-Egan as railroad
manager, Debs as leader of railroad en-
