Clyde Fitch has taken occasion to deny
that he writes a new play every other
day, and points out that several Of the
many plays at present before the public,
and apparently new, were in reality writ
ten by him a number Of years ago, and
are now brought forth because Of the
vogue of the playwright. II is said that
Fitch has other plays in reserve, but that
he is unwilling to dispose of them be-
cause they were written at time when
he elaborated with others.
It is interesting to note, in this con-
nectiOn, that Leo Ditrichstein, author OF
The Last Appeal" was once a collabor-
atOr with Fitch. Their joint work was
Gossip, written for Mrs. Langtry, and
produced at the Fifth Avenue theatre,
where IL was well received, although it
did not gain popularity, possibly through
inefectiveness of the leading player.
Fitch and Ditrichstein next presented "a
Superiuous Husband" and later Will
lam H. Crane produced an adaptation Of
theirs, The Head of the Family" After
this the ways Of these playwrights sep
arated and the prolific Fitch has been
much in evidence,
Edward NJ. Alfriend's "RecolIections of
John Wilkes Booth" is a particularly
timely article contributed to the October
Era. Concerning the mans ability we
read: Edwin Booth once said to me:
John Wilkes had the genius Of my
father, and was far more gifted than 1.
Many Old actors who saw him in his last
years before his terrible and insane deed
at Washington, have told me that they
never saw so great a performance as he
gave Of Richard III" and other great
parts. In Richmond, as I have said. he
played under the name of John Wilkes
and never used his own name until his
brother Edwin came to the city to play
Hamlet" He then played "Horatio' to
his brothers Hamlet" and his name
was given in the bills as John Wilkes
Booth. At the close of the play, when
the usual call came for Edwin Booth. the
curtain was run I'd and he came down
the stage leading John Wilkes by the
hand, pointed to him, and said, 81 think
he has done welt, don't your" The re-
Spouse from the audience was cries Of
"Yesi yes" and thundeTs of applause.

Edward Box, the editor of the

George c. McClusky, of Clinton
Iowa, was recently relieved of "A
lizard 81 inches in length that had
inhabited his stomach for eight
years. For three years McClusky
has been an invalid and has SUI
fered greatly. When taken sick he
weighed about 10 pounds, and Il
few weeks ago when he was taken
to St. Louis to be operated upon he
weighed about los pounds and
could not walk without help. His
complaint was diagnosed as
stomach tumor, and he went to St.
Louis to have it removed. He was
kept without food for three days,
during which time the lizard be-
came so restless that its movements
could be observed on the outside
of the body. On third day a piece
of poisonous bread was forced down
McClusky's stomach. This the
lizard ate and soon died. A strong
cathartic relieved the patient and
the lizard was cast out, but for
three or four days McClusky's con-
dition was considered hopeless.
The lizard was carefully examined
by naturalists, and they say it is
at least eight years old. Mr.. Nc
Clusky says that about eight years
ago, when fishing, he lay down on
the bank of the river and drank
from among "A pile of stones. He
swallowed something, but did not
know what it was, but supposed it
was some vegetable substance.-Ex.

girls" who concurred in the idea to
take n trip way, way off from home.
The friends and relatives for six

with its precious cargo of "we

Colorado Springs was reached.
The individual who roams at will

there first. :" We girls" had never
read of him in those delightful,
confidential chats. When "we

inventory, it was found that they
were minus credit, money, "pie

those accessories which tend to
comfort in travelling. 1t is in the
land of effete civilization where
these confidential heart to heart"
talks are so eagerly read and
selfishly cherished. The ladies
west of the Rocky mountains read
from an entirely different cause.
All know the legend of Pandora's
casket. Some may think the cause
probably was born there. Yet it
goes on back, even to, and probably
beyond her creation in her present
divine CD sphere.
Women love a mystery. Man
may to- n degree. but the fact Is
undeniable that n woman does. To
drive n woman, just call her atten-
ton to something mysterious, and
then tell her to let it alone, and all
the forces in creation cannot stop
her. She Is a complex creation.
There's no half way work in any of
her proceedings. If the opposition

worship the mystery and find glory
in her martyrdom. Not so with n
man. His patience and loyalty are
of disgracefully low order when
compared with that of his help
mate. Darwin's theories of the
evolution of man are admirable
from many standpoints of reason
ing, yet it il doubtful that he was
not mistaken when he selected the
monkey as mans ancestor. Judg-
ing from their facial expression,
and after watching the majority of
them operate, one il almost COM
PEELED to believe that mans ancestor
instead of being a monkey must
have been a hog. A great many of
them look alike and the similarity
of actions of more of them is un-
deniable. But,
This is a slight divergence from
the original subject. The ladies
west of the mountains from a ma
tural inherited love of a mystery,
the possessing of which they are
noways responsible, delight in read
ing those heart to heart talks for
the very mystery they contain.
The mystery of why any one at all
acquainted with practical life could
follow the most of the advice con-
tanned therein, and the great mys-
terry of how the writer could have
the courage to publicly express
such woeful ignorance of real life.
Such advice is undoubtedly enter
tanning reading to the woman OF
limited experience, but to the aver
age western woman the advice is
nauseating. Yet she buys and
reads the great journal for the
amusement it affords and the mys-
tifying pleasure in trying to calcu-
late Just how much of the reading
her less experienced sister finds
pleasant and profitable.
Yet the world of women Is all
akin, and that Ed. dared to write
so truthfully entities him To the
plaudits of an admiring audience
of male towards and brothers.
