"The one paramount horror in the life
of an actor" says Sol Smith Russell is
the one night stand. AS all will truly
testify who have had the experience

body and nerves as transforming where
daily jumps from one locality to another
are involved Yet there are many people
who really fancy that the life Of the
strolling player is enc of ease and
luxury"

in Indiana. We had been playing one
night stands for ten days or more, and
our company was in very demoralized
condition. Early one morning we
boarded a freight train with rickety
old passenger coach attached) in order
to reach the point where we were billed
to perform the following evening. 1t
was impossible to even try to sleep. for
the roadbed was rough and the car was
as wretched an old box car as could be
conceived of. However, ! cured and
twisted myself on one Of the seats and
shut my eyes through sheer exhaustion,
while other members of the company
distributed themselves about the car and
sought to beguile the tedum OF the Jour
ney by story telling, Presently be-
came interested in the chat of two farm
ers who sat across the aisle. The two
old worthless were discussing the crops,
weather and similar subjects OF concern
to the average tlIer of the soil. By aud

Miles Tower of Pownal, who resides
near what is called Florida Mountains,
had quite a sight Friday afternoon while
moving grass in field. He noticed
some strange animal, apparently un-

that one of his colts had got there.
Closer examination showed that there
were two smaller companions of the
larger one and he soon discovered that
it was a doe and two lawns that were
playing in the lot. They frisked and
played about, and the mother deer tried
to get the little ones over stone wall,
