out that they should pay q contributory
snare not to exceed one-half, as pro-
vided for in the Brownlow bill. This
was thought to be more Just on ac-
count Of the fact that the burden az

Nearly all the fawns captured in the

A VEGETABLE PoRCUPINE.

The best hated cactus in America is the cholla, says Country Life in America" The Mexicans say that if you so near a cholla joint it will jump at you. Certainly if you touch one it will stick, and when you try to free yourself it will pierce you other hand as well. Each pendent joint seems to reach out for the passerby, and the ground beneath the broad cholla trees is streWn with fallen fragments, many of which take root and grow.
 After one has felt the sharp spine through heavy boots and seen their needle points, it is a source of continual wonder to see the wild cattle of Arizona quietly browsing on chollas. The phrase cactus fed," as applied to Arizona, is not figure of speech. Dur inG the years of trough thousands of cattle carry themselves over until the next grass by eating chollas. With their leathery tongues and lips they strip the spiny joints from the trunk and leave the wide spreading cactus 8 bare and woody skeleton. It is only the range cattle, whose months have been hardened on the therny mesquite and ironwood browse. who will under take to eat cactus, and cattlemen there fore often burn the thorns from chollas

THE COMING OF HENRY IRVING.
 Changes of fortune place people some- times in peculiar and embarrassing po- sitions. A good story is told of Sir Henry Irving, the famous English &C., tor. who will be seen here in Dante at the Hyperion theater on Saturday night. December 19, for one night only. When a young man earning his laurels and comparatively unknown, Much Ado About Nothing was about to be presented to the public by certain manager of prominence. Irving had a part assigned to him, which he diligent- ly studied. Letter-perfect in his lines, he felt assured of ultimate success, but unfortunately the manager disliked his acting of 1t, and took occasion to een- sure him before the company, much to his modification.
 Furthermore, the manager took the part away and gave him another, less prominent but more difficult. Years went by, and Irving steadily climbed to a fame that brought him knighthood, while the critical manager gradually lost ground. One day shortly after Irv- ing announced his intention of produe- Ing Much Ado About Nothing," the old manager presented himself and asked thatsa. part be assigned to him. Irving granted the request, and gave him the very part he had forced him to play years before.
 During rehearsals Irving narrowly watched the managers acting, and at

can institution-the country hotel. Nothing like it is to be found anywhere else, which Is fortunate for persons who go anywhere else. English novel, ists and occasional American travellers have made us acquainted with the Yil- lage inn Of England, and 1t comes near to being ideal. However unpretentious may be the exterior, comfort, cleanliness and courtesy make the interior cheerful. The food may be heavy, being English, and the ale heady, but the clean beds and prompt and willing service make the general impression agreeable. In France poverty is too often a char aeteristic of the country auberge-a battered hut with no floor but the bare ground in the kitchen, which is also the dining room, sitting and bed room of the landlord and his family. Yet such is the cleanliness of the place and smil- ing courtesy of the people that the ami

But at the matinee all the principals found remembrance from him in their dress ing rooms. These gifts were in the best of taste. There were unconventional rings brooches and pins for the women. and for the men, in two instances, gold watches, with articles like stick pins and cigarette cases for the others. At night after the show, all the stage hands sat down at his expense to a champagne supper at a hotel near the theater with all the men regularly at- tached to the house as their guests, The same night MT. and Mrs. Mansfield (Beatrice Cameron) entertained at their own house all the principals and the

PROLIFIC SANTA CLAUS.

How Some Theatrical Stars Celebrate
 Christmas.
 Richard Mansfield is one of the most prolific Santa Clauses of the stage. Last year in Julius Caesar" the boy Lucius, the attendant on Brutus, was played most charmingly by girl. Mansfield is man of great versatility and among his other gifts is talent for drawing, which often expresses itself in fantastic sketches, bordering on the odd or grotesaue.- Whenever in Julius Caesar" Brutus had an entrance, he always found Lucius in the wings wait ing for him. The girls simple. un- affected manner charmed the actor. Often as he passed her on his way to the stage, he pressed into her hand little sketches which he had drawn in his dressing room to amuse himself between waits. On Christmas eve, when she opened the bit of paper, it turned out to
