SIDE LIGHTS ON HISTORY.
Curious Letters by n Harvard Man
Who Served Under Washington.

Curious Letters by q Harvard Man
Who Served Under Washington.
Some curious side lights on history, as
valuable in their way as the more seri-
GUS studies, are found in little collec-
ton of letters from a Revolutionary
soldier which are preserved in the Har-
ward library. They were written to
relatives and friends in New Hamp-
shire by one William Weeks, a Har-
ward graduate, who was an officer in
Washington's army.
Inconsistencies must have been severe
at times, though in one of his letters
from Valley Forge this soldier seems
to have had hard struggle between
his natural pleasure at the honors
which he was fortunate enough to be
accorded and his nostalgia. This
Day." he writes, 81 must be at Gen'l
Sulliyan's to take Dinner with him, the
other day l had as great an Honour
confer'd upon mel had the Honour
to take Glass of Wine with Gen'l
Washington &. his Lady-But at the
same time / should count as great an
k4OhOuA " nave tAC coL4o1dIL2Oh Va cSS-
ing, conversing & taking Glass Of
Wine with my-Friends at Home"
There is a curious indication of the
state of mind in the Continental army
at times during the war in another
letter, where Mr.. Weeks says, "If my
Wages were not higher than expected
when at Home, I would by no means
tarry, but as they are rais'd, and for
the Love have for the Country, I can
by no Means think of leaving the
Army"
That the manner of obtaining Her
ward degree has changed radically In
the last hundred years appears in a
paragraph written at Valley Forge in
ITS. Weeks had taken his A. B. three
years before that, but evidently was
anticipating an A. NJ. "As the cam
paign is coming on" he wrote, 81 have
but little expectation Of coming home
for my degree" But it appears that in
consideration of the $40 which his fam
fly forwarded to the college in response
to this request the desired honor was
conferred.

New Railway Opened to the
Indian Country.

1t is announced that the extension OF
the Verdigre branch of the North. West
ern Line to Bonesteel, s. D., on the edge
of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, is
now open for traffic. Part of the Rose
bud lands are to be opened for settle
ment next spring and 1t lis expected there
will be tremendous rush into this
country now that the new railway is
built. The line passes through some of
the richest grazing lands il the world.
The Rosebud lands themselves are
known for their value in this regard and
doubtless the opening of this public land
will attract large crowds from all over
the country.

STAGE LIFE TEN YEARS.
New Crop of Minon Actors Harvested
Every Decade.

New Crop of Minon Actors Harvested
Every Decade.
A new crop of stage people is har-
vested in the United States every ten
years. Each decade marks the begin
ming Of new epoch in theatrical his
tory.
This fact does not apply 80 aptly to
stars and stage people who dominate
in the profession, for the life Of these,
so far as the public is concerned, is
usually somewhat longer. But with the
rank and file-those who never rise
higher than the level of minor roles
ten years is about the limit of endur-
ance. After having served before the
public for that length of time without
doing anything sufficiently meritorious
or novel to attract unusual attention
away In so far as the profession is
concerned, and a new crop is harvest
ed among the many anxious recruits
on the waiting list to fill the depleted
ranks.
Men who deal in the talents Of stage
people to the extent of reaping finan-
cial return from their labors are better
qualified to "size up" the situation
than others, and their experience
teaches that few ordinary people of
the theatrical profession remain longer
than ten years in the business. They
either achieve Observation-Disclosures
this is the exception rather than the
rule--or else drop into other lines after
having been convinced by experience
that the stage, 30 far as they are d.
rectly concerned, offers practically no
opportunity for advancement. For this
reason the rank and file of the profess
sion is constantly changing, and the
popular idea "once an actor always an
actor" is easily disproved.- Chicago

The fact that it is the best
