STAGE LIFE TEN YEARS.


New Crop of Minor 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 a new epoch in theatrical his
tory.
This fact does not apply so APPLY to
stars and stage people who dominate
in the profession, for the life of these,
- far as the public is concerned, 10
usually somewhat longer. But with the
rank and fIe--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
the actor or actress, as rule, passes
away in so far as the profession Is
concerned, and Il new crop is harvest
ed among the many anxious recruits
on the waiting list to ill the depleted
ranks.
Men who deal in the talents of stage
people to the extent Of rcaping tinan-
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, so 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 "Onee IN actor always an
actor" is easily disproved.-Chicago

A FOHgY Story.


In London an American, Boosting Of
the superiority Of his country, was in
terrupted by an Englishman, who said:
"rhere's one thing in which this coun-
try SURPRISES America. You never saw
on the other side Of the Atlantic any
fog that could match the one which
hangs over London tonight"
"Fog! Fogr' came the unhesitating
reply of the irate American. "Why,
this is nothing compared with some Of
the fogs we have around New York
harbor. Sometimes the fog is so thick
around there that it's common thing
for the captains Of the ferryboats to
put on extra crews simply to pump the
fog out Of the cabins. Why, there's q
corporation organizing in New Jersey
right now to can American fog and
supply the British people with the real
thing "-Argonaut.

Hartford Democratic Caucus.

A caucus of the Democrats of the
town Of Hartford was held Thurs
day evening, August VI, to nomi=
nate a candidate for town repre-
sentative. f. ii. O'NeiIl was chosen
chairman, and W. &. Renehan,
secretary. Israel Sprague, of Hart
ford village, and George w. Smith,
of the Junction, were each named as
a candidate for the nomination.
The ballot showed 10 votes TOR the
former and 10 for the latter, and
MIR. Sprague's nomination was after
ward made unanimous. He is a
farmer, an old line Democrat, and
belongs to one of the old families of
town.

evil Mr.. Clement show his
books?" asks the Burlington Free
Press, and Mr.. Clement replies
promptly that he would be only too
pleased to compare notes with Gen.
Mccullough on the interesting sub
ject OF campaign expenses. And
Mr.. Clement further says in an open
letter:
81 am anxious to know who paid
the $500 to the fire companies of
Middlebury, who furnished the
money which was paid to voters in
that town at the time the republican
caucus was held there. iwish to
know who paid voters at New
Haven Junction to support McCul-
Tough delegates in the republican
caucus, who redeemed the brass
checks which were issued to voters in
Bristol and how much such redemp-
ton cost, who cashed the checks
which were issued to supporters OF
Mccullough in Vergennes, who paid
for the beer which was furnished at
heMcCullough clubs in Burlington,
who furnished the corruption FUND
which was used in support Of Nc
Cullough in that city, St. Adams
and other towns in the state"
1t is not probable that either gen.
tleman will show his books, but al
the jealous Burlington paper free
interrogation as sort of challenge
of course Mr.. Clement would do NJ
less than answer it, and the answe
is quite satisfactory and comprehen'
Sive.

1t is very significant that in Massa-
chusetts, which confessedly has
about the best license regulations of
any State, the no-license sentiment
is constantly gaining ground, the
leading cities as well as the smaller
towns, are more constantly and con-
stantly voting no-license, and the
cause is that license promotes crime,
poverty, taxation and misery.-Ver
mont Standard.
This is very misleading state
ment, though no doubt made in the
best of faith, and it is the more mis-
leading in that the bare statement is
correct. Massachusetts does go
more and more no-license, but did
you ever try to buy liquor in a
Massachusetts no-license" town
If you ever have and were not a
"drunk" you got what you asked for
and went your way, but if you
abused the privilege you got no
more. Is that the kind of "no-
license" the Standard wishes us to
think is growing more and more
prevalent in Massachusetts,? Scarce.
ly! The Standard, like all other
ring workers, wishes us to believe
that no-license in Massachusetts is
the same as the present no-license in

Miracles Of Warfare.

Until war ceases, which will be the
greatest miracle Of all, it will always
be the exhibition ground Of miracles.
How can n bullet puncture mans
coat behind and before or piece his
boot and sock and be gravely shaken
out Of both without wounding him
And what mysterious channel does this
human body contain which leads a
bullet dexterously around the heart, q
hairs breadth from the seat of life, yet
never rending tia phenomenon vouch-
ed for by more than one army surgeon
Shells have burst thunderously be-
tween the very legs Of soldiers and lef,
them still soldiers. Pompom shells OF
two inches diameter have passed
through legs and arms without shatter-
ing the bone or bursting at the impact,
though there appears to be literally no
room for such a merciful performance.
In fact, history of the escapes in war
would be wild reading even after a
course of Nunchausen.

Country Inns In England.

A noted traveller says he has sam
pied a large number Of hotels in his
tfme-even in Greece-but for bare
faced dishonesty in the making OF
bills the bluff British landlord takes
first place. "After charging twice
what his food and rooms are worth he
tacks on further charge for service,
another for lights, another fox bath,
another for fire. In short, my expert
ence of country inns in England-and
l can speak with some authority-is
that pay as much day at shabby
little country inn Of England, where
the food is poor and i'll cooked, the at
tendance inferior and the beds poor, as
1 would at good hotel in such towns
as Springfield, Mass, or the very best
in Switzerland or Germany. Indeed, it
must have struck the average Ameri-
can that the incompatible Baedeker
hardly ever finds It possible to recon-
mend an English hotel"

Grewsome Football Legend.

GrewsOme FOOTBALL Legend
Where did football originate? Some
people give anc,ert Chester, in Eng
land, credit for bringing the great
winter pastime into existence. There
is record Of football playing in that
city in the year 1910. but Chestrians
believe in a legend OF much earlier
date.
In the tenth century, II is said, a
Dane was captured and beheaded by
the citizens. Some one began kicking
the head about the streets, others
followed, and It was discovered that
this formed new and decidedly fas-
chatting sport. This was repeated
whenever possible, but as enemies
heads became schrcer and the enter
tainment Of kicking them more diff
cult to procure it was at last arranged
''for the shoemakers yearly on Shroye
Tuesday to deliver to the draper, In
the presence Of the mayor of Chester,
one ball Of leather. called football,
Of the value of 3s. i'd. or above"
There is evidently fine precedent
for those concerned in the game clos
Ing their heads"
