furnished by theatrical actor-man-
ager IN hard luck, and a justice of the
peace, whose knowledge of the law he
dlspenses is of the most limited char
acter, yet who does everything 'ac-
cordlng to the statoot.'' In the min
ing, camps of California in the early
hft1es there were many such charac-
ters. There were actors who travelled
from camp to camp, doing anything
from Hamlet to song and dance,
managing their own attractions and
presenting anything their patrons de-
sired-what it was made little differ
ence to them. Most of the local legal
offices were filled by the man who
could control the most votes. It was
necessary for camp to- have a cor
oner and Justice, but it made little
difference to the miners who they
were. AS long as the Offices were fill
ed, that was all that was necessary
The story of Miss" has always
been one of the most popular of Bret
Harte's tales, and as play it has been
as great a success as any native Am
erlcan drama which has ever been
written.
The production which has been
made for the revival is said to be one
of the handsomest that the play has
ever had and the company is reported
to be a very strong and we'll balanced
organization. Nellie McHenry will be
seen in the name part and Jos. Brennan
will be seen as "Yuba Bill"

Marie Peary Who Was Born In, tho. Ear
49,. sr...E. North.
On the Peary arctic relief steamer
Windward, Mrs. Peary,. wife of Lieut..
Peary, the arctic explorer, with her
little daughter, Marie,. sailed to- the
far north a few months ago in search
of her husband, who has not been
heard from in some time. She expect
ed to find him in Etah, in north Green
land. The little daughter, Marie Peary,
is only seven years old; but her life
has been full of unusual experiences.
In the first place she was born, in; lafi;-
tude II degrees 40 minutes north
many hundred miles nearer the pole
than many of us would care to venture
at Anniversary Lodge, where her
daring father and mother spent the
winter of 1893. In the second place
she saw only a few hours of the clos
ing arctic day before the, arctic. winter;
which is six months long, settled down
with its darkness. Accordingly, for the
first six months of her career She lived
In candlelight. The native EskimDs
Of that region had never seen a white
baby, and Marie was source Of won
der to them, as we'll as comfort and
cheer to her parents in: their lonely
home. When Mrs. Peary- finds her
husband the family will spend the
most of the winter at Etah. Their
home will be the queerest Kind of
building imaginable. The Erie rail-
way company has donated to Lieut.:
Peary caboose such as are used on
freight trains. This will be TAKEN by
the snip to Etah and fitted up as a
house for the Peary family. During
the cold days of the coming winter
some Of us may think; of: Marie, Pesfy
; looking out over the frozen ice fields
through the windows Of the red ca
boose, and be thankful for our spacious
and well warmed houses.

Apples for Your Brain..

If you want brains eat the right
sort of food. There is the rub! What
is the right sort of food?2 Ascore or
more of things have been recommend
ed by just as many more or less emf
nent authorities, yet there Isl not any
startling evidences of great brain
growth above the normal. After spec
ial recommendations of all sorts Of
fish, flesh and fowl-particularls the
fsh-now comes sage medical advice
to eat apples, and plenty of them, not
only for brain material, but for the
sake of the well being Of the, entire
system. It is argued that the nervous
system is crying for PHOSPHORUS, and
that apples fill the want, to the quiet
ing OF the nerves and feeding of the
brain. Then, to it's credit. it is said
that good, ripe, raw appls is COM
pletely digested in 4etghty-five minutes.

Problem Of Labor on the Farm.
Economists and students, of indus

alarm" the constant invention and
multiplication of labor-saving machin-
cry in this country will find food for
thought in the present efforts that ara
being made to coax the idlers and
hoboes from the cities to the western
wheat fields.
1t is the same old Macedonian cry
for help from the farmers Of Kansas
and Dakotas. The harvest is ripe and
the reapers are few. Vast fields of
golden grain are already overripened
and the farmers are threatened with
heavy losses through inability to Sc
cure the necessary help to harvest the
crop. Employment agencies and rail-
road companies are making the
most tempting offers to the unem-
ployed. In some instances wages az
high as SO per day and free transporta-
ton are offered. But the idlers prefer
the overcrowded city with a meager
and uncertain livelihood to good wages
and plenty to eat on the harvest fields
of the Dakotas..

of buildings for the Harvard, Medical

The buildings are to be memorial to
Mr.. Morgan's father. The, new archi-

Women Taking Elevator Cure.

In New York now women are taking
the elevator cure" as the proper
spring tonic. An elevator man in the
tall Battery Park building was trying
to explain the other day how popular
the treatment was getting to be. Three
out of every four women who ride in
this car" he said, "are taking the 'ele-
vator cure. How does it cure? And
what? Search me. The motion is sup
posed to have a beneficial effect on the
circulation of the blood or something.
Some of the men try it, too, but the
women have it the worst. Whenever a
stranger comes up to me and asks for
a fictitious person I know they are
after the ride and nothing else. Some
of the sharp ones generally pick out a
name in the directory before they en-
ter the car. They never go into an Of
flee, however, and always take the next
car down. When you consider there
are four elevators here and then count
the number Of big Office buildings
south Of the postoffice, you will see
woman can ride around all morning
and never hit the same elevator man
twice. But we know them"

vented her from falling into the hands
Of the police who wished to detain
her as a witness to runaway. When
the danger was over and she was safe
on board the steamer on which she
sailed for Germany the famous prima
donna rewarded the hero by throwing
her arms around his neck and giving
him kiss. The question is at once
raised whether the ordinary hero
would consider himself properly and
sufficiently rewarded for saving the
life Of an elderly song bird by single
kiss from her ruby lips. II the value
of prima donna's kisses is to be COM

ferred to take the equivalent Of the
kiss in cash. Such an equivalent in
the case of so famous and highly paid

might well amount to sum sufficient
to allow the humble baggagemaster to
retire from business and live there
after on the interest Of his money. At

welcome in their home. More than
