THE CURTAIN PEEPAOLE.
Every Theater Has One, and 1t Plays an
Important Part With Actors.

# you are In the habit of sitting well
down in front at the opera house on even
ings when dramatic entertainments arc be-
ing given there, you have doubtless noticed
about 5]4 feet from the floor and about mid
way of the curtain a little absence Of any
thing" This can be found in every opera
house In the country almost, and no well
regulated opera house can get along with
out one.
1t is what is known Us the curtain peep
hole.
1t is a place at which the actors look out
to sec how largo the audience Is to see how
they are taking" piece, and to "sizo
up" some one they saw while they were
playing ard want better look at Be
tween the acts the curtain peephole is moro
in demand than the only knotholo in a
baseball fence, and you can often sec half
d dozen different sorts of eyes in quick sue
,oSsion there when the curtain is down.
That brown eye belongs to the leading
woman. You can see her train and her
high hceled shoes beneath the curtain
when it Is raised few inches to let the
carpet out or in. She walks away and the
stage carpenter takes her place for u mo-
ment. He is looking at tho footlights and
the lights out in front, to see if he can't
see something to kick about that he has
been so stupid as to overlook before. His
shoes aren't bl0ckcd and his trousers are
rolled up. He screws his eye around until
it has rested on all parts of the house it
can reach, and then he retircs.
That Is the gentleman heavy. His shng-
gy, grease paint eyebrows give him away,
and his highly polished but heavy boots
help him to do 1t. 1t doesn't take him
long to make up his mind that it isn't a
cultured audience and "don't cotton to
good acting worth n copper"
There she Is. You know her as soon as
her high hoelod whitc-or red--shoes trip
across the stage and stop in the middle.
You know it Is going to he q blue eye with
a smile in it, and it is a pretty white finger
that appears in the edge of the peepholo rs
though to help her as she stands on tiptoc.
1t is the soubrctte, and somehow you can't
help nudging your neighbor and telling
him to look there. Topeka Journal

TO SPARE HIS DOG THE TASK.

at will by no mean do to assume" said
Mr. Goslington, "that because dumb crca-
lures do net respond promptly to our
kindness they are inscnsible to It, This
truth was brought home strikingly to me
once in the case Of a dog that 1 once own
cd. That this dog was not impcrvious to
gentle treatment was clearly shown by the
fact that when you pattcd it on the
head it would wag its tail, thereby show
ing not only that 1t understood the kind
treatment, but that it was pleased with 1t
all through. But / observed that when /
spoke to the dog when it was not looking
Mt nc it paid no attention. This was sur
prising and at first rather disturbing, but
the dog seemed in other respects so kindly
that did nothing about it.
lone day when German friend of
mine was visiting me, and when | had
called the dog with the usual result l ask
ed my friend to call him to see IL he would
mind him any better. He did call and
naturally enough, being German, he call
ed in German. To our great surpA.;e the
dog turned and came joyously bounding
toward u.s. The simple fact was that the
dog understood the universal kindness of
touch and eye, but the only spoken Ian
gllagc he knew was German, from which
country, as | subsequently learned, he had
been imported only about ten days before 1
bought him.

should teach the dog English or whether
l should learn German. Thought II would
be castor for me to learn a new language

To have your hair singcd off by electric

operation consists of a platinum wire
stretched over comb. BY pressing but

THE BIMETALIsTs.-- Two thou
sand delegates, representing all the
States of the South and West, at
tended the great Convention of free
silver men held at Memphis, Tenn,
last week. Senator Turpie, of Indi-
ana, presided, and among the dele
gates were many of the leading pub
lie men of the South and West, in
Guiding Senators Harris, George,
Jones, Stewart, Butler, Tilman, and
a number of Congressman and Gov
ernors. There was great enthusiasm
and many speeches. Strong resolu-
tions were passed, demanding both
gold and silver as standard money.
The gist OF the resolutions is found
in the following: Resolved, that
we favor the immediate restoration
of silver to its former place as a full
legal tender, standard money, equal
with gold, and the free and unlim-
tied coinage of both silver and gold
at the ratio Of 16 to | and upon
terms of exact equality.
That while we should welcome the
cooperation of other nations, we
believe that the United States should
not wait upon the pleasure of for
eign governments or the consent of
foreign creditors, but should them
selves proceed to reverse the "grind-
ing process" that is destroying the
prosperity Of the people and should
lead by their example the nations of
the earth.
