: The Story of Lost Pig and q Tramp's
Downfall.

, Tbs Story of n Lost Pig and q Tramp's
Downfall.
At the western hay market the other day
several farmers and others were talking
about lost articles, and q farmer finally
said:
81 never lost anything on the road COM
Ing or going except once. About Is years
ago, coming in one night, lost a dressed
hog Weighing 200 pounds of my wagon,
and though I made a grand hunt for it I
never could trace it,
There was an old tramp standing around
with hungry look and yearning expression.
When the brief story was finished, he step
ped forward and said:
''Was it IS years ago this month you lost
that porkerf"
Eyes, 1 think it was"
''Was it a dark, rainy night?''

''You had six dressed hogs on the wag-

"And suddenly one of them was miss

"Well I didn't miss it until I drove into
the hotel barn. Do you know what be-
came of that hog?'
81 do, sir. 1t is singular how things
come about. On that night you passed
me. I was penniless and desperate. The
thought came to me to steal hog off your
wagon, and 1t was no sooner conceived
than carried out. I sold that pork to a
man for 81, and with the money began a
new career, and it has made me what 1
am. Yes, sir, 1 owe my present position
to you"
"But you-you look hard upl'' said the
farmer.
"And 1 am, sir

''I ANA dead broke and hungry old
tramp, and it's all owing to you"

fWell, do. I took them 81 went to
Chicago and patronized a bucket shop and
was cleaned out in an hour, and from that
time I have had no ambition. Yes, 16
years ago-dark, rainy night-six dressed
hogs-farmer on a wagon-it all comes
back to me as plain as day. am not
blaming you, but yet you did me a great
wrong, and you will probably be willing
to right it as far as you can. I think you
ought to give me dollar
f'But where's my dressed hog?'' shouted
the farmer.
"And where are my hopes and ambi-

''Not a blamed cent? You stole my

"And you ruined ayoung mans lifer'
"You pork thief!''
"You wrecker of human lifel''
And then a policeman had to separate
them and tell the old tramp to move on.
He moved, but he went grudgingly, and
when he was 80 feet away he turned and
gestured and cried out:
"'No home-no hopes-no money! May
heaven forgive you for bringing that pork

A Classic Performance in the Old The
alter at Orange.

A Classic Performance In the Old The
alter at Orange.
OF scenery, in the ordinary sense of
the word, there was none at all. What
we saw was the real thing. In the
opening scene of "OEdipus." the King
coming forward through the royal
portal, and across the raised platform
in the rear of the stage-did literally
"enter from the palace" and did de
scend the palace steps" to the public
place where Creon and the priests
awaited him. It was a direct reversal
Of the ordinary effect in the ordinary
theater, where the play loses in real
ism because a current Of necessarily
appreciated, but purposely rejected, an
togonistic fact underruns the conven-
tional Illusion, and compeIs US to per
ceive that the palace is but painted
canvas, and. even on the largest stage,
only four or five times as high as the
prince. The palace at Orange-toWer-
ing up as though it would touch the
heavens, and obviously of veritable
stone-Was a most pe~emptory reality.
The fortU'tous accessory of the trees
growing close beside the stage added to
the outdoor effect still another very
vivid touch of realism; and this was
heightened by the swaying of the
branches, and by the gracious motion
of the draperies, under the htful pres
sure Of the strong gusts of wind. In
deed, the mistral took a very telling
part in the performance. Players less
perfect in their art would have been
disconnected by it; but these of the
Coincide Franchise were quick to per-
ceive and to utilize its artistic posi-
bilities. In the very midst of the SOL
emn denunciation of OEdipus by Tire
sias, the long white beard of the blind
prophet suddenly was blown upward
so that his face was hidden and his
utterance choked by it: and the momen-
tary pause, while he raised his hand
slowly, and slowly freed his face from
this chance covering, made q dramatic
break in his discourse, and added to it
naturalnesS which wildly intensified
its solemn import. In like manner the
final entry of OEpidus, coming from the
palace after binding himself, was made
thrillingly real. For a moment, as he
came upon the stage, the horror which
he had wrought upon himself-his
CHASTITY eye-socketS, his blood-stained
face-was visible; and then a gust OF
wind lifted his mantle and flung it
about his head so that all was con-
cealed; and an exquisite pity for him
was aroused-whi1e he staggered pain
/ fully to rid himself of the CIRCUMFERENCE
by the imposition of this petty annoy
ance upon his mortal agony of body
and of soul-''The Coincide Franchise
! at Orange" by Thomas A. Janvier, in
the Century for June.
