Having lived in the South for a

of representatives, he acquainted him.
self with the customs and manners OF
the South, and studied the chief char
acteristics of the people. Like Mark
Twain, when a boy he became fasci-
mated with steamboating on the Ohio
and many times ran the river from
Pittsburg to New Orleans touring a
fleet of coal barges. During these trips
he used to write descriptive stories for
the illustrated weeklies and it followed
that he came to know every bar and
channel as we'll as every bend in the
two rivers.
These Impressions he stored away,
together with all historic data, and in
after years, and at time when he oc-
cupied the first place among Ameri-
can dramatists, he began to develop
the plot of a drama which was to out
live all his other work.
1.-THE White Slavea was written and
produced early in 1882 in New York
city. The original company included
such players as Georgia Cayvan, Marie
Bates, Emmie Wilmot, William J. Scan
Ian, M. G. Daily and Gustavus Levick,
and when Eugene Tompkins produced
it at the Boston theater the important
parts were taken by William Redmund,

TROUBLED LIGHTS OF HoME.n

The Lights of Home" a thriller OF
purest ray serene, was produced at the
Fourteenth Street theater last MONDAY la
night, says the New York Sun. The thrllis
followed each other in such rapid mutt
plication that even the gallery became
irreverent, and the numerous matte
situations provoked derisive rems.- KS IN
one of the most thrilling scenes the arch-
villain was advised by voice from the
gallery to "go beat it. old man..
There is a great shifting of scenery. In
three out of the five acts the scene
changes three times. The Road to-
Smuggler's Bluff the Hut on the Blur
and 1.-THE North River at Night We're
all illuminated by numerous and v1vld
flashes of lightning and shaken by loud
rolling peals of thunder.
From the first to the fourth act the
Lights of Home are turned dismaily
low all through the Vaccinations of the
first villain and the second villain, but In
the fifth act they shine cheerily forth
again, thanks to the courage of the twice
murdered hero, the devotion of his much
abused wife and the faithfulness of their
two friends, Dutch policeman and an
Irish cook. A little light-haired, high
voiced child is also tangled up in the
plot; he Is kidnapped, drugged, strangled
and finally tossed into the North river;
but before the curtain falls on the fifth
act he is restored to his happy parents.

Edith's Ride,

Edith was a little girl about four years
old, with long golden curls and sunny blue
eyes. She was going on a visit to her
grandma's, who lived on farm in New
Jersey and had three horses, two cows
and lots of chickens. Grandma had also
nine large black CATS and grandma's pride
was a small fat calf Edith thought he
was lovely and often used to go to the
meadow and feed him apples. as she was
very fond Of them. One day Edith was
out in the pasture, when she saw the calf
lying down asleep. She went over to him
and got on his back and put her arms
round his neck. That woke him up. and
he got up and ran to the barn, right into
his own little stall. with Edith still cling
ing to his neck. The stall was only two
and one-half feet wide and was not very
comfortable, and Edith began to cry.
Grandpa came and got her out and took
her into the house. Soon afterward the
calf was sold, and Edith only saw him
once again. and she did not know him, be-
cause he was large cow. Edith is big
girl now, but she has never forgotten her
ride
