A Homespun Heart.

The next attraction at Theatre
Thanksgiving night is from the
pen OF Hal Reid, who has faculty
for putting together stage scenes
that impress with singular effect
lveness, primitive and homcly
truths OF life coupled with remark
able dramatic power,
Mr.. Reid is one OF the few
dramatic authors that know how
to treat what may be called sacred
incidents without becoming maui
din or suggesting blasphemy or
some kindred ofense. For ex-
ample, he has introduced in "a
Homespun Heart" scene of
family worship and SO managed it
as to arouse in the mind of the
spectator feeling of reverence,
and sense of personal and deep
sympathy with the simple minded
participants in the Office. There
are a number of strong Character
studies in the play, notably the
halfwitted Markoe who holds the
place of hero, capitally played by
Mr.. Page Spencer.
One of the most fetching charac-
tiers in the group is a baby girl,
not yet old enough to speak, but
'cuter" than any merely imagined
figure that ever appeared in a
theatre from the days of the Athen-
ian goat song to the newest glories
of the Brady "Uncle Tom" Every
woman within reach of the opera
house must become acquainted
with that baby.

Train Engineer Bags Deer.

Early Sunday morning Erie train
No. "a had just crossed the Delaware
river bridge into Pennsylvania, short
distance east of Tusten. N. Y. when
the engineer discovered a magnificent
two-pronged buck deer running down
the track directly in the path of the
locomotive.
The deer kept ahead of the engine
for some distance, but in turning aside
to enter runway beside the track it
was struck by the engine and hurled
over a bank with broken leg and a
broken antler. The conductor jumped
from the train and plunged knife in
the animals throat, and the caracss
was placed on the pilot of the engine
and the train continued it's course to-
ward Port Jarvis.
Four miles west of here the Erie re-
crosses the Delaware, re-entering New
York state. 1t is now unlawful 10

the train was stopped at the 9th r

Before the boy could reply there

Two Cashiers Who Arranged to Rob
Two Banks simultaneously.

mo system of checks can prevent

said veteran business man and bank
director of this city, "and the best de-
terrent l know of is an occasional
overhauling of accounts by an outside
actuary. If all hands feel that this is
liable to happen at any moment, they
are very apt to keep straight. The
strong point about such examinations
should be their uneXpectedness. I
don't believe in the rotation Of book
keepers or other trusted employees
as a check on one another. Good men
in the same establishment always have
an aversion to tale-bearing, and, in
nine cases out of ten, they will fail tc
report little things that would at once
excite their suspicion in ledger kept
by stranger. They don't want to
run the risk of making a mistake and
securing the everlasting enmity of a
fellow employee. The man who makes
the inspection should be brought, if
possible, from another city
THAT reminds me, by the way, of
remarkable story of collision which
was related to me lately by a national
bank examiner of my acquaintance,
One day he was going through the
usual inspection of affairs at a solid
old bank in northeastern city, when
the cashier suddenly toppled over in
an apoplectic fit, and died almost in
stantly. His cash and accounts were
found to be absolutely correct Some
months later the inspector dropped in
to make an examination of another
bank only a few doors away, and the
cashier promptly slipped out side
entrance and disappeared. 1t de-
Veloped that he was short a large
amount, and, when subsequently
caught curious story leaked out. It
seemed that both cashiers were de.
faulters, and had been in the habit of
helping each other out with cash to
make good when the examiner ap.
peared At the time the first man
dropped dead he had about $500 900 of
the other banks money. which he had
intended to return next day. The
tragedy left his friend in terrible
hole, as he had to shoulder both
shortages, and when the examiner
next arrived there was nothing to do
but run. His statement was CON.

HEALTHY OCCUPATIONS.
Work About Petroleum Tanks Said to
be Very Wholesome.

While the health of workingmen is
no doubt undermined by their occupa-
lions, such, for instance, as match
making, and the various trades in
which lead is used, there are other
trades which tend to porlong life. It
has often been remarked that the men
who lay the asphalt streets seldom
have a days illness, and those en-
ployed inelectric light works and
places where large quantities of cleo
tricity are generated enjoy quite an
extraordinary amount of vitality. A
visit to the gasworks, too, is quite fire.

Although some workmen, and work.
women for that matter are killed by
the quality of their work and some by
the quantity of it, the most killing
thing of all is the condit'bn where
there is a lack of work for willing
hands and needy bodies. In other
words, the saddest sight on earth at
this dawning of the Goth century is
the man who wants work, has family
to support, perhaps and yet can get no
work to do. And the big cities swarm
with them.

From the grand stand it may easily
be seen that the man in charge of the
stand has two assistants to help him
in his work. Sometimes one of these
assistants hangs up the big numbers,
sometimes the man himself puts them
out. But very few of the spectators
in the grand stand know that the man
is blind.
Shorty Powers is the name of the
man in charge of the stand. and he
has been in that stand for the last
fifteen years. He has permanent
position, and Sin tbs Apysuit of his
work he visits yearly ali of the big
tracks north of Washington, stays the
meet out and when the season is
over returns to his home to await the
beginning of the races the next year.
Fifteen years ago Mr.. Powers was a
sheet writer. following the races and
carrying everywhere he went repu-
tation for truth and honesty.
One day at the Coney Island track
Powers was standing at the fence
watching the start OF race. After
several trials the horses got off and
Powers with the rest of the crowd on
the green, poked his head over the
fence to watch the horse around the
track
Suddenly all went black before his
eyes. The horses and the field disap-
peared from sight. Physicians said
that vein in the eyes had burst and
that Powers would be totally blind for
the rest of his life.
In this terrible situation Powers
reputation stood him in good stead.
AS soon as his condition became
known the bookmakers got together,
talked the matter over with the mana
gers of the various tracks, and the
result was that the former sheet
writer was given the place he holds
today.
Powers is married, has a home near
Woodhaven and growing family of
boys and girls. Sometimes his wife
comes to the track with him More
often the boy employed for the pur-
pose brings him down to the races.
But the important thing is that
Powers is sure OF his position as long
as he cares to fill it.-Brooklyn Eagle.

HANDY WITH SHOOTING IRON.
Missouri Woman Puts five Bullets
Into Man Who Slandered Her.

Mrs. Henry Willis of Marysville,
Mo-, demonstrated the other day that
she was an expert marksman with a
pistol. She hit Lawrence Growney
five times out of possible six, while
the young man was running away
from her at the top of his speed. The
cause leading up to the shooting was
a quarrel that Henry Willis had with
a young man named Doran day be-
fore.
Mrs. Willis is the second wife OF Mr..
Willis, and he has a daughter by his
former wife who has been keeping
company with Doran against her
fathers wishes. Doran and Willis
had met and were quarre ling about
the girl, when Doran cast some as
pensions on the character of Mrs.
Willis. Doran, it is aid, gave Grow
ney as his authority ;or the state
ments he made. This so enraged Mrs
Willis when her husband told her of
it that she armed herself, and the
next day. meeting Growney on the
streets of Clyde, drew her revolver

for Merrigan's store. Mrs. Willis fol-
lowing. AS he entered the door Mrs.
Willis was close behind him and
opened fire upon him. Before he had
got half way through the store Mrs
Willis had fired five more shots, and
all except the last hit the mark
Robert Merrigan caught her hand
just as she pulled the trigger the last
time and the bullet went into the
ceiling.
Mrs, Willis is pleasant little wo-
man and no one would think by her
looks she would have the courage to

talk about the affair. and when
