Ellen Terry's Toe.

When Ellen Terry was a little gir
about ten years old she played Puck II
"a Midsummer Nights Dream" and
had to make her appearance through
the stage floor on a trapdoor. The trap
door was shut too soon, and one of the
chlld's feet was caught. She screamed
with pain. and Mrs. Charles Kean
whispered to her: BE brave girl
Nellie, Finish your part, and you shall
play Arthur in King john" The
trapdoor by this time was opened, but
the child's toe was broken. She, how
ever, pluckily pulled herself together
and finished her speech.

A clever Escape.


Prince Louis Napoleon, afterward Ma
poleon III, effected his escape from
Ham in 1S46 In a singular manner. He
was imprisoned for his attempts
against the French government, made
at Boulogne In 1910. At Z O'Clock one
morning the prince, having shaved his
mustache and thrown blouse and
workingman's trousers over his own
clothes and wearing wooden shoes,
quietly walked out of the prison, carry
ing a bookshelf over his shoulder to
complete his disguise. He was taken
to be one of the painters then at work
in the prison and was passed by sew
eral persons. A carriage was waiting
in the neighborhood, and by o'clock
in the afternoon he was at Valenciennes,
where he took a train to Brussels,
and he arrived In London two days
later. Meanwhile in the prison DR..
Conneau, the princes physician, had
placed a dummy In the princes bed and
told the governor that the prince was
confined to his room by illness. This
satisfied the governor until Z O'clock in
the evening, when he insisted on seeing
the prince and discovered the fraud.
By this time. Of course, the prince was
over the frontier. DR.. Conneau got on
with three months Of prison. Within
thirty-one INnths Prince Napoleon was
the first president Of French republic,
supplanting King Louis Philippe, who
had ahdicated.

The BIG Midsummer Festival.
I'm the Good Old Summer
Time.''

1t is doubtful. if the same eff
forts have ever been put forth
for an entertainment in Sioux
City as is being done for the
midsummer festival, which
takes place from June Goth to
July 18th inclusive. Arrange
ments have been made for
special rates on all railroads en-
tering the city and each day
there will be new attractions.
The principal feature will be
the world renowned George ia
bour and his famous circus with
two hundred artists, producing
for the first time in public
some of the greatest and most
daring feats ever presented in
America.
The spectacle "a Night in
Japan" will be given with de-
corations befitting a festival
occasion in honor of a visit of
the Mikado. "A Japanese we'd
ding, some native acrobatic
performers and a ballet led by
Mile. Rose Edyth, a premiere
danseuse from the Theatre
Comique, Paris, will be intro
duced. The spectacle closes in
the afternoon with a beautiful
exhibition of Japanese daylight
fireworks and at night with a
gorgeous display of pyrotech-
MICS that are seen in the skies
for miles around.
No one can afford to miss it.
1t will be one continuous ray of
sunshine for six days and nights.
To every lady who will cut
this article out and send it to A.
B. Beall, general manager, Sioux
City, with her name and post
office address, she will receive
in return prepaid a handsome
souvenir of the coming event,
(which she will appreciate.

A Little Tos Radical!

The Ministerial Association
of the Y. M. c. A., have raised
the question of creating a COM
mission in every county in the
State, to consist of six doctors,
8 male and 3 female, the law to
read as follows:
"Be it enacted: That a license
Ito marry in every county in
Iowa shall rest in the hands of
a commission of reputable ply
sicians, 3 male and 3 female,
which commission shall exam
inc into the physical condition
of every man and every woman
applying for license to marry,
to determine the fitness or un-
fitness to enter the marriage
state; and the judgment of the
commission shall be final"
just what standard of quail
fcation will be adopted, if
enacted, is a serious question
and the mere suggestion carrie s
with it the most absurd idea.
What would be the standard
of qualification for marriage?
For six thousand years or
more man and woman have
been permitted to make their
own choice of companions, and
while it is true that mistakes
have been made, would such
mistakes have been obviated if
the parties had secured the GER
tifcate of a commission before
marriage?

The Supreme Court Of Mis-

The preacher must depend on

would be safe beats conscience
