A CELERY CAMELIA.
The Flower Was Missing and the
Vegetable Was Made to
Serve Instead,

While speaking of the serio-comic side of
stage lie recently, relates the New York
Times, Miss Clara Morris told the following
story as an experience of her own:
Somewhere IN the wide world she said
there is an actor-and good one-who
never eats celery without thinking of me. 1t
was years ago when | was playing Camille.
In the first scene, you viii remember. the
unfortunate Almond takes a rose from Ca
mile as a token of love.
eve had almost reached that point when
as | glanced down, saw that the flower
was missing from it's accustomed place on
my breast.
what could I do? On the flower hung
the strength of the scene. However, / con,
tinued my lines in an distracted fashion
an1 began a still hunt for that rose or a
substitute. My gaze wandered around the
stage On the dinner table was some celery
Moving slowly toward it, I grasped the
celery and twisted the tops into rose form
Then | began the fateful lines:
Take this flower; the life of camelia
is short-if held and caressed it will fade in
a morning or an evening
Hardly able to control himself, he spoke
his lines, which ran: 1t is cold, scentless
flower. 1t is strange flower
Il agreed with him"

multitude, Mr.. George Hsgar of East
Des Moines and Miss Belle Long of

being performed by Judge w. II. Nc
Henry on the Jabour stage at the
EIks' carnival. The public wedding
drew thousands of spectators to the
Oriental circus and was the feature
of Iowa day of the festival.
In but one particular did the mar
riage ceremony fall short of expecta-
tions. This was the failure of Judge
McHenry to live up to the schedule
and kiss the blushing bride. 1t was
a deep disappointment to the on
lockers, but the judges nerve failed
him in spite of the clamor of the
crowd and the attractive force of
bewitching pair of ruby lips.
