Once, it is related, some promoters came
to Richard Mansfield for the purpose of
enlisting him in some scheme or other.
They painted the prospect, as they wanted
the actor to see it, in most glowing col
ors. Mansfield listened. then asked with
delicious sang frod: do you know why
the Lord said to Anauias. Stand forth?'
Upon receiving a negative reply, he said
well, 1 don't either, unless it was that
you three could stand first, second and
third
Another story is told to the effect that
Mr.. and Mrs. Mansfield were entertaining
a distinguished company at their dinner
table There happened to be present, how
ever. one who was rather a bore. He
made. much of his refusal to partake Of
any wines "You may take an ass to the
water, but you can't make him drink" he
said. "As you please" replied Mansfield
graciously, "then l won't press you any
more"

from the New York press, is still drawing

in New York that supreme distinction ac-
corded TO her elsewhere sseasons ago.

Cnblcd by Mayor of San Francisco
Asking Manila Hero to Change

Mayor Phelan of San Francisco has

said, will not restrict the hero of Ma

When the announcement was MADE that
the admiral would come home by way OF

Pheian started the movement to have The
admiral change his plans. Mayor .Phelan
asked all of the mayors Of the principal
cities of the west for permission to use
their names in cabling the admiral urg~
ing him to begin his triumphal tour at
the golden gate and advancing eastward
through the western states. Among the
mayors that have been asked to for per-
mission to use their names to the cable
gram is Mayor Truelsen of Duluth. The
mayor has given his consent and so have
all of the other mayors asked.

fighter to come home by way of San Fran
cisco are slim as the government desire.
to have the flagship Olympia in which Ad'
miral Dewey will return, overhauled al
the Brooklyn navy yard.
On the other hand, it is argued that the
west has the right to see Admiral Dewey
first as the western troops are the on1s
that have been furnished to fight the
Filipinos and their service should receive
some recognition.
Regarding the effort to have Admiral
Dewey change his plans and greet the
western part of his native land, Mayor
Truelsen said yesterday:
admiral Dewey, of course, knows Whal
he is about and knows which way hi
! should return. But if he comes by way
Of the west feel safe in saying that the
west will lay itself out in celebrating the
return of the nations greatest hero in {
| way that will make the east look sick.
'If Admiral Dewey comes by way of tht
west and goes to St. Paul as it is pro
posed, I can see no reason why he should
not come to Duluth. I am sure that Mr.
, Hill would be very glad to provide one o.
: his lake greyhounds to carry the nava
hero to Chicago from here and am equal
ly sure that while. here Admiral Dewey
would receive more than grateful vel

further power to the monopolistic
