stage Makeup.

A noted comedian, who is noted for
his skill in the art Of makeup, says:
Lines will never help an actor to play
a part If he has not made study of
the character itself. The true artist
looks to his voice as much as to his
wigs He wants a large box of voices
as well as Of makeup. 1t is absurd
for man to go into character business
unless he can disguise his voice and
speak several dialects to start with.
Character work is no plum duff for any
one. I've seen men who seemed to
fancy that Lancashire dialect would
do first rate for Scotchman and that
any old thing was good enough for a
heather Chinee. A character actor
must disguise face, walk, voice, man
nerisms; in short, he must take his OWE
personality and bury it Deep

AN Incident which Explained Mrs.
McKinley's Luck at Cribbage.
When the late President Mckinley
and party went west not many months
before he was shot, Mrs. Mckinley
went too. While talking with Mr.. Scott
one day, the man whose firm built the
Oregon, Mrs. Mckinley said, "Oh, do
you play cribbage, Mr.. Scott?"
Yes" was the great shipbuilder's
answer.
''WeIl, so do IT, said Mrs. Mckinley.
II wish you would play a game with
me-"
'I should be delighted to do so,'' was
the reply.
Later, as President Mckinley and
Mr.. Scott were looking over the latter's
big plant, Mrs. Mckinley not being
present, the president said, "Oh, by
the way. Mr. Scott, didn't l hear you
and Mrs. Mckinley arranging to play
cribbage some timer
YES" said Mr. Scott, I'VE are going
to play"
"Well, what kind of a player are
you p asked the president.
"Oh, pretty fair, guess. 1 play a
pretty good game"
"Well, SO do l." said Mr.. Mckinley.
''But do you know, It may seem
strange, but it is fact, that have
never been able to play well enough to
beat Mrs. Mckinley" AS he said this

That pen held the hogs for a long
six weeks, but hogpens have their
weak points, and patience and perse-
verance will seek them out The hot
sun warped board and made an open
ing, and the industrious swine enlarged
it until one night they all passed out
and headed straight for the next farm.
They fetched up among the cabbages,
pumpkins, squashes, melons and car
rots, and during the long hours Of
darkness they ran riot. They were
missed from the pen early next morn
ing, and the widow sat down on the
doorstep and cried She cried because
she was vexed, and she cried because
she was a woman. Every minute she
expected to hear the crack &C CHS

any further appeal to the law would
be wasted. She was vexed at the
hogs, at Josh and at Chisholm Her
tears were still falling when the new
neighbor stood before her and bowed
and said:

PAST HIS FIRST YOUTH.


A Fowl That Was Hardly to Blame
For Proving Tough.
The swan is said to be excellent eat
ing when young, but as it is one of the
longest lived of all creatures it is well
to learn if possible how old your bird
is before you cook it.
A gentleman in Lincolnshire, Eng.
land, sent a dead swan to the Athena
UNI club, addressed to the secretary. A
special dinner was to occur that week
and the committee without question
turned the bird over to the cook.
At the dinner the swan, resting on a
great silver dish, was delight to the
eye, but when it came to carving and
eating the bird no knife seemed SHARP
enough to cut 1t, and of course eating
it was out of the question.
A few days later the donor met the
secretary and said, II hope you got my
swan all right"
'rThat was nice joke you played on
u.s. returned the secretary.
"Joke? What do you meanT
''Why, we had the thing boiled fol
thirteen hours, and even then we
might as well have tried to cut through
the rock of Gibraltar"
"You don't mean to say you had the
swan cookedw
why, of course"
"Man alivei sent it to be stuffed
and preserved as curiosity in the
club. That swan has been in my fami
ly for 280 years. 1t was one of the
Identical birds fed by the children Of
Charles 1. You've seen the picture OF
it. My ancestor held the post of mas
ter of the swans and keeper of the
kings cygnets.' Well, have no doubt
it was bit tough"
