II is not difficult for a farmer to
train himself to be good shepherd,
though there are important details that
must be observed in breeding and feed
ing sheep. says Epitomist A flock OF
sheep will not take care OF itself, at
least not profitably. There is an axiom
that the EYE of the master fattens
the sheep" The meaning OF that is
that the flockmaster has every animal
constantly under his eye; he knows at
once that something is wrong, II any
thing is wrong, and Immediately pro-
ceeds to correct it. II single animal
is of its feed or shows symptoms of
disease the shepherd detects 1t. TO
che inexperienced it would seem I'M
possible for a man to become ac-
auainted with each indi~idual member
of the flock. but each animal has its
characteristics and they are sufficiently
marked to give it distinct character
in the eve of the fiockmaster. Inc
very first thing that must be assured
in the management OF flock is quiet
ness of surroundings. The sheep is a
timid animal and is bundle of nerves
An hour of excitement will do more
harm TO the flock than can we'll DO
imagined. The work of sheep-killing
dogs is not nearly so damaging in the
slaughter that they do. as 1t is in the
excitement that they cause In the
flock. In feeding sheep variety
should be provided. but whatever is

Gales voice is beautifully modulated
in a low key, and to make matters
worse she came to the theater on the
first night of the production with a
beastly cold in tow. She could scarcely
speak.
However, the terrible cold with
which she was suffering just fitted into
the particular role she was playing,
and Sally Woods comical bass voice
that night brought down the house,
everybody thinking it was the art OF
Miss Gale and not a beautifully devel-
oped cold that made possible voice
such as had never before been heard.
On the Saturday night of the week just
as l was going on the stage | saw Miss
Gale in the wings. 'How's the cold?'

and said Almost better, thanks-but

Hilary Bell tells the story of how
Edith Kingdom, now the wife Of the
millionaire George Gould, sprang into
popularity when she was member of
Augustin Days dramatic company.
Miss kingdom was SO impressed by
the unusually dignity of her surround
ings on the first night of Love on
Clutches" that she failed to realize
how great hit she had made. A roar
OF applause followed her exit after the
second act. but Miss Kingdom, think
ing that the plaudits were of course
intended for the leading lady, fastened
to her dressing room to make a change
of custom. In answer to the tumult-
uous hand clapping Miss Rehan came
out, Mr.. Drew came out and MIR. Daily
came out.
"Kingdoa!" "Kingdon!" was the
cry.
Finally the surprised debutante YVES
summoned from her room, whence she
emerged in confusion and astonish-
ment so hurriedly that she had not
time to finish dressing, but was COM
PEELED to throw a shawl over her bare
shoulders. AS she peeped out in front
of the curtain Edith Kingdom looked
so fascinating in this hastily improvis-
ed costume and her bushes of embar-
rassment that George Gould immedi-
ately lost his heart to her, and now she
is the richest woman that any stage
has ever graduated.

The play at the Knickerbocker is
called "The Kings Musketeer," and
that at the Broadway has been named
The Musketeers." The former title
would seem to indicate that everything
is subordinated to the principal role,
while in the latter the name would
imply that D'Artagnan is merely one
of the jolly band Of four roisterers.
The facts, however, are exactly the re-
verse. In ''The Kings Musketeer"
Sothern, as D'Artagnan, is never I'M
duly prominent, and when he is on
the stage with the daredevil trio, whose
friend and compatriot he has become,

THE WRIT REFUSED.
Supreme Court Holds That State
Printer Cannot Compel State Boards
10 PatronjzeHim.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, W. Va, April 1.-The SUI
preme Court handed down a number OF
cases to-day, the most important OF
which was the one involving the duty
of State officials. 1t was an applica-
ton by ]. Miller, State printer, for a
writ of mandamus to compel the State
Board of Agriculture to have its print
ing done by the State printer. The writ
was refused, the opinion being handed
down by Judge Brannon. Following is
the syllabus: 1, mere private contract
will not be enforced by mandamus; 2,
as the State cannot be sued, mandamus
or other judicial process will not lie
against State officers or boards, to COM
pei them to execute an existing contract
between an individual and the State.
Though the State is not in name par
ty, such suit is against it. within the
meaning of the provision of the prohi-
bition suit against the State.
Opinions in other decisions rendered
were as follows:
Justice VS.. Lawson, from Logan coun-
ty; opinion by McWhorter, affirmed.

he is indistinguishable from the others
as regards his position on the stage.
In other words, Mr.. Sothern never I'M
duly obtrudes his personality upon the
picture, whereas in the production at
the Broadway there is never mo-
ment while Mr. O'Neill is on the stage
that the auditor is allowed to lose sight
of the act that D'Artagnan is, in the
opinion O the management, at least,
the thing of things. If this ere simply
a matter of good or bad taste, it would
perhaps be outside Of the province of
criticism, but when it seriously mars
the eff~st of an entire production the
case is different. Neither the character
of D'Artagnan nor Mr.. O'Neill's inter
probation of it warrants the undue

and almost offensive prominence given
to this part, in the face of the fact that
the lines allotted to the character are
not strong and that the best speeches
in the play for making points" fall
TO Blanche Bates. Incidentally it may
again be said that if any one happens
to be laboring under the impression
that this young lady, who a short time
ago made Ada Rehan appear apparent
ly insipid in THE Great Ruby" does
not take advantage to the full of the
dramtic drmaticiv
dramatic opportunities her single
visit to the Broadway theater will
speedily undeceive him.
Of the two plays the version used by
Sothern is much the better one.

OPERA HOUSE-Saturday night. "The
Telephone Girl"
No matter how good a farce-comedy
may be, it cannot receive an adequate
presentation unless the actors are
bright and the girls beautiful. That
is admitted by everyone that has given
the subject moments consideration.
Naturally, the theatrical manager
knows all about this, and he is not
likely to allow his entertainment to
be spoiled by poor actors. On the con-
trary, he will take care to engage only
those he knows are talented, quick
witted and naturally funny This is
particularly the case with the re-writ-
ten farce-comedy, Town Topics" At
the head of the cast are three star
comedians whose names are a guaran-
tee of excellence anywhere in the
United States. They are John w.
World, Robert Garnella and William
II. Mack Each of these clever come
dams is noted for his original methods
and spontaneous humor. While the
author of the comedy can do a great
deal in giving foundation for the en-
joyment of the whole performance,
much depends upon the actors. 1t is
their ability to get the best out of the
lines and situations that make a farce
comedy throw off sparks of mirth from
the prism of humor The people on
the stage and those in the auditorium
are en- rapport from the beginning, and
when one leaves the theatre at last

an evening with "a party of personal

NJ. F. Holland. Supervisor of Indian
Schools, with his office in the city OF Los
Angeles. has called the attention OF the
Federal authorities to a violation OF the
law alleged 10 exist in Tamaha School
District, between Pine Ridge and indie
pendence, Inyo County. He says that the
Trustees OF that district have been in the
habit Of enrolling in their school census
the names OF all the Indian children in
the district between the ages of and 81
years, and collecting from the State the
pro rata OF school money for them. while
debarring them from the benefits OF the
education for which the State has made
the apportionment
The state school law provides that when
separate schools are established for Mon
gollans and Indians. such Mongolians or
Indians shall not be admitted to the pub
lie schools. and that where such separ-
ate schools have not been established
such Mongolians or Indians shall be adj
mitted Mr.. Holland says that there are
no separate schools in that district for
MongCllans or Indians, and that the chill
dren Of those races are debarred from
education. He proposes 10 lay the matter
before the proper State authorities. in
order that the Indian children OF that dis
trict may be received into the public
schools; or, in lieu thereof, that the APP
preparation be stopped.
