DANIEL WEBSTER FIRST SPEECH.

John Bach MoMaster In the Century
AS the boy grew In years and stature
his life was powerfully affected by the
fact that he was the youngest son and
ninth child In family of ten; that his
health was far from good that he showed
tastes and mental traits that stood out in
marked contrast with those OF his BROTH
ers and sisters and that he was, from in
fancy, the pet OF the family. Such daily
work as a farmers lad was then made TO
do was not for him. Yet he was expected
to do something, and might have been
seen barefooted, In frock and trousers,
astride OF the horse that dragged the pillow
between the rows of corn, raking hay, or
binding the wheat the reapers out, or
following the COWS to pasture in the
morning and home again at night, or
tending logs In his fathers saw mill.
When such work was TO be done 1t was
his custom to take book along, set thu
log, hoist the gates. and while the saw
passed slowly through the tree-trunk. an
operation which, in those days, consumed
some % minutes, he would settle him
self comfortably and read.
AS time passed, this wide reading stood
him in good stead, and for a ysar he paid
his board by aiding In editing weekly
newspaper for which he made selections
from books and contemporary publica-
tions, now and than Hrittng few para
graphs himself. Nor were his physical
characteristics less striking. College
mates never forgot his deep-set eyes, the
solemn tones of his voice, the dignity OF
his carriage, and, above all, his elo-
quenoe. The old shyness that tormented
him 80 at the academy was gone. At
last the greatest of his natural gifts was

TRAGEDIES OF THE STAGE.
Large Number Killed Wounded in
Playing Their Parts.

From the Chicago Int Ocean.
In the Grenelle Theater in Paris the other
day an actor came near killing his profess
SIGNAL friend with stage dagger whose
spring got out of order. The victim yelled
so naturally and the blood flowed so freely
that the audience was delighted and never
realized the realism until the curtain drop
ped. The accident prompted a Partisan
scribe to hunt up the record of things some
what similar upon the stage. According to
his story, Nine Benoin, at Prague, in sui
eide scene, stabbed herself seriously.
William Moritz killed his associate. Tenn

Quick Wits of the Stage.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer

VIII Ellsler. Uncle John Ellsler' s
youngest son. and one of the brightest Of
the present generation Of theatrical men,
stopped over here a few days ago on his
way to New York, where his attraction,
Broadhursts THE House That Jack Built
opens for an all-winter run.
Naturally. he drifted around to the news
paper offices, and just as naturally his talk
was of actors and things theatrical. There
are no other men who are as wrapped up in
their work as theatrical men who live in 1t
pleasurably every hour Of the day.
Some one spoke Of the terrible fiasco a
recent melodrama had made in New York,
and quoted Jim Ford's singing epgram in
the Evening Journal that the Broadway
Theater was the most fitting place for the
production of that play because 1t had
thirty-fOur exits
That reminds me-" said Ellsler. "of the
remark of Ned Thorn down at Long Branch
one day some years ago. Thorn was run
ming summer company in theater that
had been made over from a skating rink
His business had been bad all along but
this night in question it was positively
fierce. While the play was on an alarm Of
fire was sounded. and in a few minutes the
engines dashed by the thea,er and then
stopped. Naturally, there was much con-
fusion, and some of the few people even
started up in their seats as il to run. Thorn
was not on in that scene. but he ran out
from the wings and addressed the scanty
dud ence mere is no danger, he shouted.
The fire isn't here, and If II was there is a
window for each one of YOU"
Theatrical men and writers never fore
gather but what Barrymore crops out In
the conversation. He is as insistent as was

used to mean using your own language
that is. playing a part without cues OF the
proper lines, relying only upon knowledge
of the play to carry you through. Years
ago on the road there used to be some
