The interviewer had come to ask Mr.
Robert Drouet something entirely differ
ent, but she was so struck with the apt
ness Of the expression that she imme-
diately wrote it down sureptitiously on
her cuff. Besides, she thought the St
Paul girls ought to know. Already not a

discarded past favorites in the photo

of the GibsOnesque leading man of the
Criterion Stock company.

company work superindUces insanity"
Quite fifteen minutes had elapsed be-
tween Mr. Drouet's vigorous remark and
the question put to him, so the latter
was not so irrelevant as 1t seems.
Mr.. Drouet first looked astonished, then
he laughed, such a hearty, unaffected,

had to pinch herself to remember that

toned concerning it, he absolutely re-

Mrs. Drouet laughed at the question
also, and aided her husband IN dispelling

another of those little fairy tales that
imaginative individuals love to make up
concerning the life behind the footlights.

frequent change of role that Is supposed
to bring on the insanity. Well, so far as
my own experience is concerned, I do
not think that is true. If man takes
care of his health and systematizes his
work, he will find stock work no more

Herr Anton Dvorak, formerly conductor
of the New York Conservatory of Music
and now professor at Prague, was recent
ly raised to the Austrian house of lords
b. the emperor. He is the first composer
to receive this rare distinction in Aus
tria.
Anton Dvo-ak was born at Mulhausen,
in the district of Prague, Bohemia, in
1874. The son of a butcher and innkeeper,
he early showed signs of musical services
and, on making his way to Prague, re-
ceived musical education in the gov
eminent schools. His compositions soon
gave him rank among the national COM
pcsers of Bohemia. His "Stabat Mater
was greatly appreciated, and made his
European reputation. In 1891 he came
to America, having been engaged as di-
rector of the National Conservatory of
Music in New York, and remained over
here for three years during which period
he wrote his symphony Prom the New
World and his cantata, 1.-THE American
Flag"
l ne personality or this great composer
is rerna- kable. When we consider the
difficulties he had to encounter in his
fight for recognition and for the express
sion of the life within him, it is not to
be wondered that a man of his forceful-
ness of character should feel a pride in
attaining such a position as to win the
recognition accorded him by tire emperor
of Austria. Dvorak is distinguished from
many other conductors, not unknown to
US, who now would be highly indignant
It reminded of the early phases of their
professional life, although they contained
nothing to be ashamed of. But then the
truly great have time for the cultivation
of vanity.

CHAMPION JEFFRIES INVESTS
FORTUNE IN GOLD MINE

ProDeTtv

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 15.-James JEFF
fries. champion heavyweight of the world,
has invested more than 100000 in mining
property near Ward and probably will
take up his residence in Denver during
the winter to look after his interests.
He is interested with James Craig, for
mer mining man of British Columbia,
who induced the champion to invest after
his fight with Rubin.
Jeffries previously followed the counsel
of Craig by investing in some mining
property in Canada, which is now paying
the champion a good income, and since
that time the two have been close friends.
Jeffries has practically turned over all
his interests to Craig's care.

opponent in the finals Harry Routh, the
park champion. All matches except the
finals consisted of two sets out of three,
and were not vantage sets. The finals
were three out of five. Dunlap was
strong favorite and won without much
In the first round L. c. Bozart won

easily. The score was 6-1, 6-2. In the
other half of the semi-finals Routh beat
Walker. 6-2, 6-5.
The finals brought Dunlap and Routh
together 1t was thought Dunlap would
beat Routh without the loss OF a set. The
spectators were surprised when the latter
took the first set. Dunlap was slow to
start, but after the first set everything
went his way. The complete score, in
Dunlap,s favor, was 46, 50, o. Ga;
