~ like the way Gilbert and Sulli-
van have of writing their operas
in two acts" he said last night,
"but / didn't like the way this same
piece, the 'Pirates,' was billed when
/ played in it in San Francisco
some years ago." said George Froth-
ingham, the noted singer.
"The opera was new there, and
no one knew anything about it, so
when the printer made a mistake
and put on the programs, "Comic
Opera in Three Acts instead OF
two, the audience never knew
that there was anything
wrong. We gave the per-
formance all right, and it went
beautifully. There was a big cur
tain call after the first act, and
every one of us had to come out
and bow. The people could not get
enough of it, it seemed.
"Well, we did just as well in the
second act, and everything was
encored time and time again, till
our Threats were pretty well worn
out. But we had to respond to a
call, no matter how tired we got.
"Finally the curtain went down
on the last act-the green curtain
and we thought it was all over,
though we waited for a call which
came with a vengeance.T curtain
was raised again, and we stood
there and bowed, and then dropped
it. But the audience were still in
their seats. There was no getting
up for them. The musicians climb
ed,down under The stage, and were
getting ready to go home, when
the gasman rushed back and said
that the people wouldn't let him
put the lights out. They thought
there was another act-the pro-
gramme said so--and they were
going to stay and see it. They
wouldn't be buncoed by a lot Of
Boston people. Well, we were
afraid of a riot, and didn't know
what to do, till there began to be
cries of Manager and we sent the
stage manager out to make an ex-
PLANTATION. He did it well as he
could, and the people gradually
got up, grumbling, and went home.
But they were not satisfied, and
wanted more of it, even if the
plot was all worked up and every
one married off happily. It's a
pretty good opera, though, and l
don't know that l blame them for
wanting another act"

wanted Wife.

A certain university graduate,
who might properly be called
Green, finds himself in a terrible
quandary because Of a contract re-
Gently made with school district
in northern Minnesota, for the di-
rection of that school during the
coming year. The price was agreed
upon, and as the young man was
highly recommended the board
was glad to accept his services,
and would now be 10th to lose so
great a prize. But the contract in
accordance with the rule of that
institution, contained stipula-
ton that the principal was to be
a married man, and the special
clause was inserted that said grad
uate was to be married before Sep
TENDER /. That was apparently a
small objection to the contract,
and so he begins his game, and
not caring much for the society Of
the gentler sex during his
course, found that it was rather
uphill business after all. Well,
the long and short of the story is
the young man completed his col
lege course without having taken
the step contracted for, and now
the question before him is how to
get out of the trouble. The school
board refused to release him from
his contract, but will not allow him
to begin work until the special
stipulation is complied with. All
the girls at the university, on the
other hand, are shy and apparent
ly unwilling to give HIM the nec-
essary encouragement. III he de-
cides to break his contract he will
be liable in damages, as it is no
excuse that he is unable to get a
wife. The law says he must carry
out the contract made, and only
acts OF God or of the public enemy
can serve to release him. The
young man expresses himself as
having hope, however, and will de-
vote his vacation to the accom-
plishment of his desired object.

ditiOn that Lincoln contributed liberal
ly. He liked neighborly chat and dis
cussion, and his fOndness for political
debate and his gifts in tale and Jest made
him the most popular man in every store
that he entered.
1T is commonly believed that this IA
miliarity with coarse talk did not after
ward disappear, so that he never became
fastidious in language or in story. But
apOlogists of this habit are doubtless cor
rect in saying that vulgarity in itself
had no attraction for him. 1t simply
did not repel him when with it there
was flavor of humor or a useful point.
Apparently it simply meant nothing to
him-a mental attitude which is not
difficult of comprehension in view of its
origin"
Placed against such a background,
Lincoln the young man stands in vivid
relief, although in close sympathy with
the community amid which he lived. As
he grew in mental stature and his hori-
zon became wider his power to keep in
touch with his background, so to speak,
grew proportionately. The same quality
that made him not much superior when
a young man to his almost vulgar en-
vironments expanded with the broaden
ing circle of his influence and made him
what he was in his later years. The
biographer quoted above says in speak
ing of this quality of Lincoln:
1T is through this that we get con-
tinuity in him; without it we cannot
evade the insoluble problem of two men
two lives-one following the other with
no visible link of connection between
them; without it we have physically one
creature, morally and mentally two be-
ings. If we reject this trait, we throw
away the only key which unlocks the
problem of the most singular life, taken
from end to end which has been wit
messed among men, life which many
have been content to regard as an I'M
solved enigma. But if we admit and
really perceive and feel the full force
of this trait, developed in him to a de-
gree probably unequaled in the annals of
men, then, besides the enlightenment
which it brings, we have the great salts
faction of eliminating much of the disa-
greeableness attendant upon his youth

expressions become actually an exponent
Of his chief and browning quality, his
receptiveness and his expression of hu-
manity--that is to say, of all the human
ity he then knew. At first he expressed
what he could discern with the limited.
inexperienced vision of the ignorant son
Of a wretched vagrant pioneer. Later
he gave expression to the humanity of a
people engaged in a purpose physically
and morally as vast and as grand as any
enterprise the world has ever SEEN"
Mr.. Morse considers Lincoln to have
been 1.-THE most individual man who ever
lived, with humaneness of nature as his
greatest, most distinctive and abiding
trait"

HOW HE DEVELOPED
LINCOLN WAS NOTABLY SUSCEPTIBLE
TO HIS ENVIRONMENT.

This Trait Was What Enabled Him to Grow
as His Horizon Expanded THE Most
Individual Man who Ever Lived" Says
Biographer Morse.
Every person who has read more than
one Of the many biographies of Lincoln
must have been struck, l fancy, by the
diverse methods adopted by the writers
in treating Of his family and his early
surroundings. Some have spoken of his
mother as q sort of Madonna in the will
derness and his father as a brave from
tiersman endowed with many admirable
characteristics. Others have striven to
avoid all semblance of identity and have
painted q picture in which the common
place has been portrayed with what has
been described as ''repulsive nakedness. !"
There is no doubt that the then new
west i'll which the emancipators early
life was passed was rough, coarse and
poverty stricken, as the east was also
when it was new, and as all freshly set
tied regions must be. An important
trait of all such communities is the close
ness of personal intercourse that prevails
and the entire lack of social barriers of
any sort. I'm those early days." says
Biographer John T. Morse, Jr., there
was almost no money among the people.
Sometimes barter was resorted to. One
lover paid for his marriage license with
maple sugar; another with wolf scalps,
more often "A promise sufficed. Credit
was system well understood, and prom
issOry notes constituted an unquestioned
and popular method of payment that
would have made millennium for Mr..
Micawber.
But however scant might be cash and
houses. each town had its grocery, and
these famous stores were by far the
chief influence in shaping the ideas of
the westerner. There all congregated-
the idlers al day long, the busy men in
the evening-and there, stimulated by
the whisky of the proprietor, they Cos
siped about everybody's affairs, talked
about business and the prospects of the
neighborhood and argued about the pol.
itics of the county, the state and even of
the nation. Jokes and stories, often

one evening to be allowed to attend the

give him great pleasure to have her pres

following day Bulow caught sight of
her in the theater as he took his baton
in hand. He stopped the music, held a
hurried conversation with one of the
members of the orchestra, and then as
cended TO his place again. He fourished
his baton, and one instrument began to
sound. He continued to beat the air,
and the instrument continued to play
only three different notes. For five min
utes this was kept up, the other must

became half crazy in the course of time,
and in disgust at Bulow and Wagner
left the room. The rehearsal was then
