QUEER ANTICS OF A CAR.
Left the Train While Running and
Afterward Resumed Its Place.


From the st. Louis Republic.
Conductor M. l.. DeHaven of Sedalia,
who runs a freight train on the Kansas
City division of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, was called to headquarters recent
ly 10 make an explanation about an acci-
dent to mis- train, which he was unaware
had happened.
Conductor DeHaVen was asked why he
had not reported the fact that certain
car in his train had jumped che track at
West Line, on the night of Jan. 10. De-
Haven replied that he had no report OF
that kind to make; that he had brought
the car through safely, and 1t had never
left the rails.
The officials told him that he was mis-
taken, and showed him the report OF the
section boss, which had been officially in
vestigated and found correct. The report
showed that the car had left the track and
run along on the ties for distance of four
telegraph poles to the switch at West
Line, where the wheels went onto the
rails OF the sidetrack. The car kept on
the sidetrack for quite a distance, when II
became lonesome and longed for the COM
panionship Of the rest of the train. Then 1t
simply leaped back to the main track and
its proper place In the train. The evil
dence of the mishap was shown in the
ties that had been cut off and splintered,
the wheel tracks on the roadbed and
wrecked switch
Conductor DeHaven read the report the
second time and seemed puzzled. but could
give no explanation regarding the queer
antics Of the car. He, however, remem-
bered that on the night in question the
train had been stopped a short distance
east OF West Line on account of a
brakebeam falling down, and reference
to his report showed that the brskebeam
belonged to the car that had performed
the hurdle act without disturbing the train
crew.

Mr.. Haney appeared with the company
Tor the FIRST time last Monday night in
MISS Arthur'S production of More Than
Queen"
There is a touch of sentiment in the
fact that Miss Arthur and Mr.. Hanley are
playing together Back in the eighties, in
the good old days of the Fords-as the
Old members of this organization are wont
TO say-when Larry Hanley was but a
promising amateur actor and Miss Arthur
young and struggling aspirant for the
honors of the fOOtights, they played to-
gether in Savannah. 1t was the custom
OF the Fords every season to bring sew
eTal young actresses from the North to
play the principal female parts, and Miss
Arthur appeared for a season. She was
unknown in the theatrical and dramatic
world then, but her industry and intelli-
gence have been rewarded and now she is
looked upon as one of the leading Amer
lean stars.
Mr.. Hanley, too, is well known, and his
talents and powers are unquestioned. He
made a mistake in venturing to play trag-
edy, and for several years he has not oc-
cupied a place fitting his abilities, but
if he sticks TO his work he is in fair
way now TO come into his own. Miss Ar
thurs company is one of the best in the
country, she has ample backing. and if
Mr.. Hanley minds himself he ought to
be among the best leading men on the
stage in a few years.

EXTRACTED A BULLET AFTER
FOuR YEARS.

VIM. Singleton had the misfortune TO
shoot himself in the foot with a 22-calibre
cartridge on Christmas day four years
ago. The physician who attended the
wound made several attempts to extract
the bullet, but without success and other
physicians at different times made incis-
ions in the foot but were unable to locate
the ball. A few weeks ago the foot began
to swell and the pain was so intense that
the sufferer decided that either the bullet
had TO be extracted or the foot taken off
and his ideas we're expressed plainly when
he came into the quaker Doctors Office
The amputation of the foot. however was
not found necessary, as the Quaker Doc
tor quickly located the bullet by means
of the X ray ana the little lump of lead
that had lain snugly hid in the foot for
four years within ten minutes after was
lying upon the Quakers operating table.
These are but few instances Of the
many wonderful cures that have resulted
from the assistance Of the X ray, and
much of the marvelous-tures that have
been performed by the Quaker Doctor he
readily attributes to his ability TO dag
nose accurately the true nature Of the
disease, and which can only be accom-
plished by his X ray machine.

The influence once exercised by the
works of Byron had to certain extent
waned but various signs may be discern
ed which seem TO point to a revival of
the old interest, not. indeed, in the fer
vor, hardly admitting of calm and thought
full appreciation. which greeted the ap-
pearance of "Childe Harold" but in a
more c11astened and intelligent fashion,
which will lead US, after all attachments
are made to see in Byron the most Wig
orous, the most original, poetical genius
which England has produced since Mil
ton.
The attempts to darken the shadows
that lay on some portions of his life may
perhaps, have contributed to produce this
revulsion of feeling, but, even apart from
this, it would have been an i'll sign of the
vgor and manliness of our minds If the
fire. the force, the passion, the intense
vitality of Byron's poetry should have re-
manned for any long period of time I'M
known and unrecognized.

1t is interesting to note the views of the
master dramatist of day and the
Grand Old Man of the stage upon eX-
isting conditions. Victorien Sardou, the
famous French dramatist, compliments the
stage of the nineteenth century upon what
it has given TO the world. Joseph Jeffer-
son says that, barring a few coarse en-
tertainments. the stage is in excellent con-
dtion These are authorities that are well
nigh beyond cavil 1t is true, in America
at least, that the theater is to-day enjoy
ing the greatest prosperity ii has ever
known Still, 1t is doubtful if one can
conscientiously say that the stage is in its
most healthy condition. The past two or
three seasons have given the theater-go-
ing public a rather scandalous shock. Dis
robng scenes that are introduced merely
because of their suggestive value cannot
be said TO enhance the art of the stage.
and Of the bed-chamber and feminine "un-
dressedness" scenes that have been prom
inent recently it would be difficult to be-
lieve that any are necessary to the dra-
matte value of the play.
Besides Shakespeare's Henry "" In
which he will impersonate the dashing
hero of Agincourt, and Herman Meriyales
version Of Don Juan" Richard Mansfield
intends 10 produce the new play upon
which Stephen Phillips, the young Eng
fish poet, is now al work This has no
title as yet Its subject is historical and
the action passes in the Middle Ages.
Likely this drama will be acted in New
York before 1t is seen in London.
There seems to be no extremity to which
the French playwright will not go in seek
ing for nsational morbid effects. One OF
the latest plays produced in Antoines
Theater in Paris Is the EN- Paix" OF
louis Bruyerre, which, practically, is n
representation of all kinds of horrors, real
and imaginary, in a private Iunatic asy-
lum. These are said to have been ex-
hibited by Antoine and his associates with
every detail of CHASTITY realism and to
have been thoroughly enjoyed by the stated
frst-night audience, although doubts are
expressed as TO whether the general pub
lie win find them entertaining.

The Turkey as He Lives.

The turkey, which furnishes us with
such a toothsome feast at Christmas.
is found in various parts of the world
where it has been known to flourish for
about five hundred years.
John and Sebastian Cabot, early voy-
ayers to this country from England.
brought large ship loads of turkeys to
the early settlers here. These breeds
were the Norfolk and Cambridgeshire.
The former were black and the latter
bronze in color. These two breeds have
been carefully cultivated in England
up to the present time.
From Yucatan and Honduras come
the gay plumaged fowls, whose feath-
ers are more like those of the peacock
than what are ordinarily seen on the
turkey. being bronze, green. blue. red
and gold and having a number of
jewel-like tubercles on the head.
The domestjcated turkey is to be
found in northern and western Europe
and on this side of the world from
Canada to Vera Cruz.
The life of the wild turkey is occu-
pied largely in wandering from place
to place in search of food. In these
Journeys the focks move in two
masses, one of the males and the other
of the females and young birds. The
male birds. being wild and destructive,
will kill and eat the young rather than
search for food otherwise.
On two occasions the fOckS unite.
One is when there is plenty to eat for
all. without danger of having to eat
each other, and the other is when
river is to be crossed. Then from the
top of the highest hill or treetops they
all survey the situation. Turkeys do
not fly very well. and it takes con-
siderable mutual encoura cement to get
their nerve up to fly across a river.
But when all are ready they make a
flying swoop for the opposite side of the
river. The signal for the start is
whistle given by the hens. Most OF
them land safely. but the weaker ones
and many of the chicks drop in the wa
ter and either drown or get the rest OF
the way by difficult swimming.
In their weak and exhausted state
after landing hunters find them an
easy prey. Two devices are used to
trap the fowl. One is to call them with
a whistle made of the wing bone of the
female turkey, which makes a sound
very near the same as the natural whis-
tie of the hen. BY means of this dis
sembling great numbers Of them are
caught. The other device is a trap.
into which the turkey knows how TO
get, but does not know how to get out
again. The trap is open at the sides.
bue closed allover the top. AT the sud
den alarm of captivity he turkey flies
upward to escape, but cannot get
out except the way it got in which
it doesn't nderstand.-Philadelph
