word in the copy at points where special
action was required The particulars were
given at the rehearSalS. Nowadays the au-
thor is more explicit in his manuscript He
prescribeS the movements that each char-
acter shall make. Nothing is left to chance,
nor to the actors choice. When he Is to sit
and when to stand, where he is to go and
how long to stay, what feeling he is to show
when silent, what degree Of emotion he Is
10 express when speaking-all these dlrec-
tons are set down. Some authors tell, also
how the personages should look. a para
graph describes each individual much as a
novelist does it, though very briefly and
concisely. This is frequently extended TO
the color of woman's eyes and hair. she
must be tall or short, slim or stout, pretty
or ugly, as best serves the purpose. In
short, the writer of stage fiction tries hard
to have his characters look aud behave eX-
actIy as he wishes them to. His design
may be carried out. That depends. He may
be eminent and obdurate enough to have
stipuate that not so much as a word snail
be changed without his consent. The man
ner of the acting, also must be obedlent TO
his orders He also may be able to dictate
the time when the play shall be presented,
and the theater, too. The selection of &C
tors may require his approval and his au-
thority may extend to rehearsals. But as a
rule it is not so. Sometimes the buyer of
the manuscript is free TO do just as he
pleases with It. He has the right to adapt
1t to any purpose and to any extent. Pays
written quite seriously have before now
been turned into hilarious farces merely by
exaggerating them. The longest lived of
the frivOlousiy gay spectacular pieces in
this country, the very name of which be-
comes a trademark for q gaudy show. was

Face to Face With Kruger.

Allen Sangree in AEsiee's.
Here was Paul Kruger just as every
newspaper reader has often seen him de-
picted whether in portrait or caricature.
The peculiar Kruger beard, sparse, close
and long enough to conceal perfectly a
thick, short neck; the narrow grayish eyes,
large ears with heavy lobes. a prominent
nose that suggests spatulation, wide
mouth, firm chin and body so thick that
it makes the legs look short and slender
in comparison. Kruger's head and fea-
lures are massive. They give the idea of
sluggishness rather than acuteness and
strength. This impIe ssion, however, is off
set by the eyes, which are topped with
heavy brows. and have underneath puffs of
flesh which help to conceal them. These
eyes, during conversation, narrow to a
mere CLINT, and give one the idea OF shift
ness. His skin Is brownish-yelloW, and the
countenance shows many a furrow The
teeth are strong, irregular and not white
His arms are rather long. the hands mus
cular, and the fingers short
His left thumb is missing. He lost this
when out hunting elephants one day. An
old rifle exploded in his hand and the
thumb was torn in shreds. His friends said
Let us hurry to surgeon and have 1t
aTnputated" Kruger said, "Ikona. / will
cut it off myself" With that he whipped
out rusty hunting knife, and, placing the
thumb on the stock of gun, amputated it
You notice this stump Immediately, for he
is holding his short, crooked briar pipe in
his four fingers. You know, therefore, that
this man is brave. That he can cope with
the most able statesmen of Europe how
ever, seems absurd. You feel that he has
been greatly overestimated. He must be
travelling on false reputation. He is
masquerading. His very appearance is gro
tesque. His coat does not fit him and his
trousers are too tight and short. They dis
play odd-looking gray socks above rough
black shoes. You cannot even see whether
he wears necktie and collar This man
must be merely a shrewd hunter like Coop
er's "Deersayer," whose religious bigotry
has made him seem to the Beers as APP
sententiousness has been interpreted as
wisdom.

Religious Services.

Last Sunday and today we had religious
services aboard. Our chaplain is a Pres
byterian minister. There is a representa-
tive of the Y. NJ. C. A. on board, and he
has organized q branch among the men,
An Estey organ was presented to US, so We
are not without music. There are some fine
voices in our company, and 1 am going
to organize a glee club. The chaplain must
have learned that l sang in st. Patrick 8
choir when in Washington. l was asked to
sing The Holy City but did not have the
words, SO reluctantly refused.
There are two other Washington boys
besides Duffy and myself in this company
Michael j. MOhun and Frank Lochboehler
The two last named will be made non
CONS. before long.
I'VE are now slowly steaming toward the
rock of Gibraltar. The sky looks threaten
ing and it is drizz!ing. Eight privates two
corporals and two sergeants from each
company will be given shore leave.
If any good things can be bought here
GibrautaD for our Thanksgiving dinner
We will have them. Our quartermaster ser
geant has a company fund of nearly 500
with which to purchase dinner
