TALES TOLD OF SHERIDAN.
Fashionable Eccentricities of the Great
Playwright.

"The School for Scandal ana Inc

the words, Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof" But the loss troubled
him little, for he was gay, whimsical
SOUL who loved joke as dearly as MS
versatile grandson did.
In his schooldays they called Rich
ard Sheridan IAN impenetrable Ounce.
He became the most brilliant play
wright of his age, one! OF the most
successful managers that ever catered
to London, and one OF the bravest ana
most eloquent politicians that mas
served the English people. He was an
honest man at heart, but lacked woful-
ly in a sense of responsibility. He
drank to excess, but that was an al
most universal vice among the fine
gentlemen of his day. On the night
of the original production OF The
School for Scandal which was a ire
mendous success from the first, he
was knocked down and thrown into
the watchhouse for being drunk and
uuarrelsome in the streets. Arrested
upon another occasion in the like con-
dition. he was asked his name by the
constable. When it finally dawned
upon him what was wanted he struck
an attitude of great dignity, and, Civ
ing the revered name of the most emf
nent divine in London, answered Will
berforce.
His admiration of Mrs. Siddons. the
tragic actress, amounted to idolatry,

reside in regions where the toothsome
nut grows. In this way she became
thoroughly posted in all matters per-
tanning to the present crop.
Feeling confident that pecans would
command a good price, she set to
work some weeks ago, and, aided by
her brother and a few trusted assist
ants who were sworn to secrecy, she
quietly leased every pecan grove and
forest of any value in the Colorado
valley. Whea buyers appeared in the
country, startling the ranchers by Of

Barley Crop Is Large.

The barley crop in Washington and
Oregon this season is the largest on
record. Prices in the East are too
low to admit of any such shipments as
went over the Rockies last year. Cali
fornia and Portland are the two great
export cities and send immense guam
titles of the grain to Europe from the
three Western coast states. The
steamship branch will soon leave
Portland for Europe with 5000 tons
of barley.

so far as this particular region is con-
cerned little investigation showed
that this energetic young woman is
in a fair way to make a fortune in
few months. 1t is known that she
got a great bargain in nearly all of
her leases. AS a sample of the
shrewdness that she displayed, it has
leaked out that she leased one forest
for 800 in which there are several
giant trees that will yield twenty
bushels, or $50 pounds, of pecans. At
a low estimate the profits accruing
from this single transaction will fall
little short of $4,000.
Miss Bardine has furnished employ

the country. 1t is believed that she
will clear $4,000 before the season

displayed such extraordinary fore
