REACHING His wife a Lesson.

David Garrick, one Of the greatest actors
that ever lived, had one fault in the eyes of
his wife-he was too fond of playing low
characters to a common audience rather
than grand characters to a select audience.
She went one night to see him in Richard
III, and was highly pleased with the local
applause which his acting drew from all
parts Of the house. Mrs Garrick then de-
sired to go home but her husband asked her
to wait a little because he had some busi-
ness to attend to. SO she saw the next
piece-a farce in which a farmer gave his
neighbors some notions of the wonders he
had witnessed during visit to London
To Mrs Garrick's dismay this character was
greeted with applause louder, If anything,
than what had been bestowed upon Richard
III, aud she did not quite like it, Bye and
bye she noticed her little spaniel trying to
get over the balcony which separated the
box from the stage, and then the truth sud
denly dawned upon her. Garrick was the
farmer but while the dog had known its
master she had not recognized her husband.
She did not lecture him so often afterward
about his preference for vulgar characters
and vulgar audiences

While ! was in practice, said Judge
Gates Of Kansas City, u was before the
Supreme Court on one occasion. While
waiting for my case to be called 1 listened
to lawyer from the southeastern portion
Of the state arguing his case. He was at
least six feet seven inches tall and had a
voice so deep that when he spoke it seemed
like the rumbling Of Niagara. I will read
he said, from a work with which your
honors are no doubt familiar-Blackstone ,
The judges did not smile, although
there was a decided twinkle in their eyes

reference here, your hOnors, TO a footnote
by Lord Granville. would have your hon
ors pay particular attention to this note be-
cause it is by Lord Granville.
The judges waited expectantly. The
lawyer held the book in front OF him,
glanced at it two or three times and then
coughed as many times in rather an EN-
barrassed manner. Everybody waited for
several seconds. Finally he said: Youi

footnote is in Latin, so reckon I'D better

whyItIss So.
M salt Lake HeraId So

The salt Lake Herald asks:
why is it that an actress, after marry
ing, will invariably cling to her maiden
name, or assume an uuheard Of name, rather
than be known by the name of her hus-
band?"
This question was put to an old theatrical
manager by the writer one night last week
He smiled eloqueutly and replied: 1T is
because there is an old dbelief that marriage
between members of the profession bears
down the value of both players, that is, the
public loses interest in a married player and
its effect is keenly felt at the box Office"
Yes, and the worst Of it is, that old be-
lief is true as gospel here in this land of
hero-worship and romance. Who is there
that would say Miss Mary Mannering is
more perfect than Mrs. James K Hackett
None. But how many Of the dear public
would go to see Miss Mary Mannering who
would not go to see Mrs. James K. Hackett2
Thousands And the male population
would be we'll represented II is hardly
necessary here to explain why this is true.
Suffice it to know that it is true.
With woman the detraction is the crush
ing of the romance. Matinee girls fly to
the box Office with their dollars to see James
X Hackett kill four men with arapierin one
act, but we're the star heralded as husband
and father, it's a safe wager results would
be different. What romance would be left
what possibilities
And so the profession and its marriage re-
lations go happily on.

FLOOD STRIKES Train
Rio Grande Passenger Coaches
Are Knocked Forty Feet
AGAINST FARM HOUSE
CIoudbursts Have Caused
Great Damage in Colorado.
FARM HOUSE

Florence, Colo, August GA Rio
Grande special passenger train from he
east, bound to California, and carrying
800 tourists. is in the ditch just east Of
Florence, near Swallows. The wreck was
caused by the train being struck by a
wall Of water eight feet high. coming
down Peck creek, caused by the heavy
rain in the mountains south of here yes
terday afternoon. The brakeman saw
the torrent when it was only short dis
lance from the train. He rushed through
the eight coaches and told the passengers
on the two rear coaches to hurry 10 the
front of the train. Just as the last tour
list left the rear coach. the water struck
the cars, anu. breaking the coupling pins.
hurled them into the air and landed them
forty feet from the track. The trucks
were knocked off the day coach, which.
after striking the ground, went down If
teen feet into the mud The sleeper was
thrown against the farm house of J. f.
Roberts, which was occupied by himself,
wife and three children. The coach
formed a wall and turned the water
from the house. thus saing the building
from going into the river, and also the
lives Of its occupants.
The engine was badly damaged by the
water, but managed TO pull the two cars
remaining on the track some distance
from the food, and they are now occupied
by the tourists and trainmen.
Agent Mcneil of the Florence station
sent refreshments to the passengers
A wrecking train was ordered from
Salida Agent Mcneil said that three
miles Of track had been washed out be-
low Swallows.
