A SPRINT BETWEEN THE RAILS

"Hi there! Get out of the way! Get off! Hey! and as many other express sions of warning as there were men on the sripcar of cable train which rounded the curve to the north at Ninth and Grand avenue yesterday afternoon were shouted to a man who had stepped in front of the cars. Added to the lusty shouts, all given simul- taneously, were violent clangs from the bell, and the combined hubbub caused people a block away to stop and look around.
 As for the man in danger, he may be able to testify to the truth of the old law that it is better to be killed than scared to death. He took one hurried, bug-eyed look at the car which was bearing down upon bin, and from the expression on his face it looked as big as Convention hall on wheels Had he jumped to the right or left he would have cleared either track by at least fifteen feet but instead he lit out down the track ahead of the modern Jugger- naut, the crowd on the cars and side walks cheering him for his sprinting ability. Past the government building sped the frightened man, and instead of turning with the track at Eighth street, he shot over the hill and down tle brick pavement nearly half Q block farther. In front of the Midland hotel he paused and looked back for the first time Seeing that he was undoubtedly out of harms way, he walked sheepish- ly over to the sidewalk and sat down.
 Say, boss" asked negro who had been watching the great one-man race from the corner of Eighth street, "how fur down tn street did y all think dat car was going t foller? Huh?'
 The man did not reply to the ques- tion nor appear to notice the roar of laughter from the amused crowd. He seemed content to know that he had escaped with his life.-Kansas City Journal.

FINAL MEMBERS NIGHT
AT PROVIDENCE ART CLUB

The thirty-ninth and last members

in attendance.
Not only tho gallery, but the sketch

a fashionable throng and even the stair

out the entire program wherever room
was available
The reason for the exceptionally large
attendance lay not so much perhaps In
the fact that IL was the final members

Miss Ethel Henry was the attraction of
the evening. Indeed that Miss Henry has

reception given her last evening. There
was seemingly no stint of applause and
encores were frequent
Miss Henry was assisted by Mr. Gus

abundant and well merited applause.
Miss Fanny GIN Berry. as is well
known, was all that could be desired as
an accompanist.
The evenings program was as follows:
Alt Heidelberg du feine," Jensen, Mr..
Saacke; A Lesson with the Fan, The
Story OF Perriot. The Broken Heart, Aus

Miss Henry's work showed wide variety,
including, as Il did, selections from the
grave 20 the gay and giving her ample
opportunity 20 reveal her versatility In
her chosen art.
Her delIncation Of "The Frenchwoman's
Story" was especially clever as was also

One OF the absolutely necessary requi-
sites OF a successful stock actor Is the
complete mastery OF the art of makeup.
When an actor gains thoroughly intel
iigent conception OF the character he Is
TO portray. and succeeds in "making-up"
i'm accordance with that conception. so as
to have the desired effect, half the battle
is won. Ever since William Humphrey
opened his season with the Albee COM
pany at keith's, he has been adding sue
cess after success TO his already enviable
reputation, but the feature OF his per-
formances which has created the greatest
sensation has been his wonderful make
ups.
Providence theatregoers never award
favor 20 an actor or actress unless II is
earned by true merit and genuine ability,
and the hearty demonstra ti0ns or appre-
citation given Mr. Humphrey al every
possession OF these qualities The unani-
nous verdict OF the discriminating
theatregoer who patronizes keith's is
that Mr.. Humphrey IS one OF the very
few truly clever artists local playgoers
