Realistic Play. -.
Last winter number of literary peo-
pie INDUCED from time to time in anna
teur theatricals. During February
they produced a comedy. One Of the
actors, says London Tid-Bits, played
the part Of a burglar and had to climb
up the outside of the house in which
the entertainment was given and en-
ter through the window, which was at
the rear of the improvised stage. He
hurried around from the dressing
rooms and valiantly commenced to
struggle up the wall, when policeman
grasped him by the neck, thinking him
a veritable burglar. He started to ex-
plain, but the minion of the law would
have none of it. The audience was won
dering in the meantime why the play
did not proceed and the young actors
and actresses on the stage were eagerly
waiting for the burglar to enter and
give them the cue, when they heard
shrieks, yells, oaths and threats from
the garden. Rushing out, they found
the amateur burglar thrashing wildly
about the grass, while a =braWny police
man sat on his shoulders hammering
his neck into the mud.

No Obstacles Exist,

Nearly everybody who is interested in
Cook county minerals seems to have
gone off into the wilds of that region,
duriug the past two weeks, and to have
stayed there, Or at least to have gone out
by some other route than those leading
to the head of the lake. Hovey and his
experts are still making scientific invest
igations of the properties of the Hovey-
Phillips syndicate, and they will not be
out of the woods for some little time.
1t is said that large party of Chicago
capitalists have chartered steam yacht
and are going to spend some considerable
time in inspecting the various harbors
along the north shore prior to the selec.
tion of a terminus for railroad. Last
month Mr.. Cuyler of Deerwood, who is
a civil engineer Of ripe experience in To-
eating railroads and examining properties
through the new regions of the west, and
who is heavily interested in Cook county
lands, went down to Grand Marais and
from there to Gunhint country, which
he travereed and examined from end to
end. In the course Of his journey Mr..
Adams made a track survey and keep a
record Of the various levels along
the roule. The upshot of his invest
igations is that he is thoroughly con-
yinced that no very great obstacles
to the building of an ore carrying rail-
road exists and he is also of opinion that
the enormous mineral deposits of that
region must some day be of great value,
however much they may have been over
looked and neglected in the past, This
opinion of Mr.. Adams is peculiarly
valuable as tits the expression Of man
who is capable of viewing the situation

the light of actual experience North

that they were really angry.

up the nearest. Pauline climbed another

''butting big trees will hurt their heads -
But the bulls heads Were hard and well
matched with hair: and they didn't go
away. They gaZed at the girls, and kept
on charging the trees After awhile the
girls grew frightp ned and screamed for help.
Philip Sneidcr, farmer Gabler's hired IN 10,
heard their cries and came To their aid. He
tried To drive OF the bulls by throwing
stones at them. But the animals paid nn
attention to him. and kept on butting the
trees. Sneider paused to think. As he
Eazed at the girls lie noticed that They wurc
red flannel skirts. He also observed that
the bulls looked up at the skirts every
time they backed AWAY from the trees. To-
his experienced mind this explained every
thing.
Let go those skirts" he cried: the
bulls see they are red. and will never go
away while they are there
What! UnGressr' cried the girls
That's it," said Sncider; Its the only

Sneider walked away, and in few mo

two hickory trees, and wo bulls. with tails
in air and heads down. caught the flutter-
ing garments on their horns, ,trampled them,
tossed them. gored them and tore them.
and finally rushed off triumphant.
The girls came down and pleaded with
Sneidcr not 10 say anything about it. But
Sneider could not keep the story. Now the
girls a re planning a trip to New York city
