bluffs on record furnished Captain Ed
gar Russell, chief signal officer in the
philippines during the instruction
with a story which he told as an exam
pie of western nerve.
Eve were outside Of Manila In some
little scrap" said the captain, ANA
about seventy-five natives were lying
kn a trench ahead Of us, shooting away
merrily, but not hitting anybody. BY
and by noticed little disturbance In
our front. Presently four Montana
troopers trotted out Of our lines ana
started straight for the Filipinos. EV-
erybody looked at them with wonder
and waited to see them all killed. Bull
lets whistled all around them, but they
never halted. Slowly, just at rot,
they logged on toward the enemy. Ihe
natives fired and 1red, but for some
unknown reason did not hit. On and
on went the quartet. disdaining cover.
at last there was shout, and to our
inter establishment we beheld the sew
enty-ive FilpinOs suddenly jump out
of their trenches and take to their
heels in mad flight. The nerve of the
Montana troopers was too much for
them. When they had all fed. throw
ing their rifles away as they ran. the
troopers came back, their arms full or
guns. That is what the army called a
Montana bluff It's the sort of nerve
that lets a man open jackpot on

COST OF PLAYS
YEARS AGO

In these days of extravagant theatre
cal expenditure it is interesting to study
the cost of performances given years
ago. An industrious deliver has found
the record of some eighteenth century
performances that are in marked con-
trast to the amounts spent to-day.
A performance of Hamlet" given in
September 1875, in London cost $780,
and the expenses of the night were $S5.
The orchestra cost ST.. so. the adver-
tisements in a newspaper "a. and for
the service OF the two soldiers who
stood at either side of the 2roscenium
arch to keep order the sum of SO. so
was paid. The candles that illumI-
mated the theater cost SIS.
Sometimes in those economical days
there were expenditures unknown now
When the Prince and Princess of
Wales, for instance, attended a per-
Torrance of Jane Shore" the manager
was compelled to tip an the f1unkeys
that came in the royal retinue and the
cost of that was $50.
Although some elaborate pantomimes
were produced in those days, the scene
painters received small salaries. The
best known of these, an Italian import
ed to London on account of his skill
in constructing scenery, was the high
est paid of the scene painters. He was
able to get only $25 a week.
Some of the expenditures for cos
tunes seemed extravagant to that age,
although the prices would be rather
moderate now. Much emphasis was
laid on the cost of a gown and cane
made for a popular actor of the day
for which $120 was paid. A crown for
King Lear, on the other hand, cost only
$1.75, while for $125 the costumes for all
the dancers in the opera of "Diocle-
tian" were obtained.
In those days $500 was looked upon
as an uncommonly good house. Sala-
ries were low, for the highest recorded
is $50 week. That was much above
the average. which was about $35 for
the principal actors.
