This small white cloud hung there
some twenty or Thirty seconds Then
II began mixing up, rolling and tumb-
Ing, so to speak, i for about half n min
Ute In this short space Of time it
grew from; the small white cloud to the
size of an ordinary dwelling house.
ihen 1t assumed O rotary motion and
moved off toward the northeast, rising
and falling alternately, Dut not COM
Ing nearer than thirty or forty feet to
the grougd. Still, it made the corn
stalks fly around in the air beneath IT..
AT the northeast of US, about half q
mile away, was dense black cloud that
reached to the groS,ld, but had no mo
tion so far rs we noticed. This cloud
should think, reached up in the air
about quarter of u mile The moving
cloud gradually turned from milk white
10 hlack as 1t approached to the stations
airy one and finally went into the black
mass. We did not see 1t again, rs the
black cloud INSTRUCTED our view. When
the moving cloud passed into the black
one 1t was about the size Of q triangular
acre OF land and stood on end with the
small end down. We then got our team
and drove home
The following morning we got the
news of the destruction Of ST. Cloud,
Mimi, by 4 cyclone, which followed the
nlsht' pefore our experience above mar
rated. We then thought and still think
mat It was our cyclone that did the
mischief, and us it started in that direc-
ton and was seen by farmers after it
cinerSed from the black cloud that shut
Out our view still going to the northeast
high in the air. 1t naturally would have
covered the distance from it's starting
place to st. Cloud by or O'clock on the
following morning."

woman glanced at the empty cage and
then back into the store. Then she
wiped away tear with The back of her
hand. Slowly she moved away, and the
tears kept coming. and once or twice she
stopped and was on the point of retra cling
her steps. But she kept on and few of
the busy pedestrians novicod her.
A few minutes later the woman and
the empty cage appeared in small back
room on the top floor of a miserable ten
ement. Cleanliness there was, but the
floor and walls were bare, and want
paraded itself on the projecting cup
board shelves. Tenderly the cage, a
cheap, tiny affair, was hung in its ac-
customed place, and the woman sank
down upon a wooden chair, as visi or
entered.

tainment. The dancing was good and
unconventional. the girls were pretty

costumes reached, and they did not
reach too far-what more can one ask?
Frederick Warde appeared in the
afternoon OF Saturday as Shy lock. in
the evening in the title role Of king
Lear with his usual success; a success
which is little disappointing because
il smacks of the routinier-the man
who has the technique OF his art at bis
fingers ends but has failed OF the more
intellectual heights.
Ten years ago hoped to see Warde in
the very front ranks Of the interpreters
Of the classical repertory instead OF oc'
cupying the respectable but mediocre
position filed by him at present. Henry
Irving aud our own Richard Mansfield
are instances OF actors in whom the in
tellectual grasp Of the character out
strips the power OF expression-Freder-
lick Warde and mary OF the clever women
Of the stage surpass in Interpretation
without apparently reaching the depths
it is rare, as in the case OF Edwin
Booth and in lesser degree with
Sarah Bernhardt. that intellectual
grasp and virtuosity in technique go
hand in hand. / am glad that clever
actor Clay Clement pays us visit next
week, for although he is in danger OF
becoming lone part actor" combining
himself ms he does to THE New Domin-
ion," one recognizes in his face and ex-
preston the intellectual life behind the
mask.
But to return to Frederick Warde.
His Lear" especially in the delineation
OF the old mans growing madness was
iatelligent aud faithful. The ShyIock
OF the afternoon comedy did not appeal
to me 80 much. although it was CON-
petent and the lines were delivered with
the actors usual careful fidelity to his
conception Of the part.
The support as a whole was respecta-
BILE snd at times very good indeed. The
wolfish cruelty of "Goneril" in king
Lear" was we'll conceived and imperson-
ated by a clever actress WHO in the
afternoon played "Portia" with eonsid-
cradle strength. especially in The court
scene. The "Cordelia" OF Lear" was
not badly done. but was somewhat
inadequate t. the demands OF a role
which is especially difficult because tie
actress is permitted TO say little with
word or gesture, while il it is to be
,ithful and full impersonation the
st ength, dignity and nobility Of the
character must be made manifest by
the mere presence. The Fool in this
play deserves special word OF CON-
His was the task to bubble
with wit that sprang from a breaking
heart. heart torn with infinite pity.
This difficult thing he seemed t. do.
The scenic effects were, perhaps, as
&c cd as may be in a production of this
kind. Yet when all is said that can be
said to the credit Of this performance.
any lover OF Shakespeare must feel the
inadequscy of any stage performance to
express the terror and pity OF this play.
il no splendor Of stage and
adequately represent king
Lear" on the other hand no weakness
d Interpretation can mar its intellectual
grandeur. and I am grateful for every
opportunity to hear SO capable per-
ormance.
