For a woman to be a real power in
the social world requires a more COM

most any other field. She must be a

her powers, is stretching out eager

her talents, that they may be bur-

ever-new luster. She brings to her
work a ripened knowledge of life and
of the emotions and passions upon the
character which could only have been
gained after years of observation and
close study of men and women.

CLYDE FITCH AND HIS WORK.
Some Characteristics of the Famous
Author and Dramatist.

Fitch had no desire to daily in the
comparatively safe and easy shoals of
dramatic criticism-that sea of glory
in which little wanton boys have dab
bled these many summers-but set sail
at once for the deep and uncertain
waters of bodybuilding, eagerly seiz-
ing upon the first opportunity that
presented itself. Fortunately for him,
Richard Mansfield, who was anxious
mel, wished to engage some clever
young man of pronounced dramatic
instincts who would travel with him
and put the old Beau into a suitable
dramtic setting. This work Fitch
undertook to do, and in 1889 the play
of Beau Brummel," which still has
place in Mr. Mansfield's repertory
was produced in New York. Its sue
cess gave rise to a controversy re-
garding it's authorship-there is never
any question as to who wrote the plays
that fail-which at least served to
make the name of Clyde Fitch known
to the theatrical profession as we'll as
with interest the affairs of the stage.
During the present season New York
has seen four new plays from the pen
of it's most prolific dramatist. One of
these, THE Stubbornness of Gerald
ine," has added greatly to the fame of
Miss Mary Mannering, while 1.-THE Girl
with the Green Eyes" has transformed
the clever and interesting but mex
perienced Clara Bloodgood into a
theatrical star. Another, an adapta-
ton called THE Bird in the Cage" has
presented Sandol Miliken to New York
audiences.
1t is the custom to blame Mr.. Fitch
for writing too many plays and to as
sert that he should limit his output to
one play year, and devote all his
time to rewriting and polishing and
building up that one play. Those who
say this are not familiar with the play
wrights working habits, and those
who know him best say that if he were
to limit himself to a play a year he
would finish it within few weeks and
devote the remainder of the twelve
months to worrying about its details.
In conclusion it may be said that the
remarkably successful career of this
young playwright has not served to
render him extensively bumptious and
conceited, but has left him even
simpler and more modest in his man.

Successful With City DwelIer.
SIS about time that some of those
fellows who tell so much about wild

prairies took look at some OF the
things that arc to be found right here
in New York." said the man who

He could get plenty of material If

plentifully here. They're as smart as
any of the coyotes or other things you
see in the story books now and then.
| know for I've had experience IN
running a hotel in New York, and
one of the biggest problems we have
is to keep down the population OF
rats.
I'VE had pest of them once in our
kitchen, which was in the basement.
They'd run up and own the pipes and
sometimes when they got ravenous
they'd steal food right out from under
the noses of men in the kitchen. or
course as soon as they touched any
thing that had to go to waste. Well
we tried traps and we tried poison
and we had the rat-catcher man
,, around, and we put in cats. dogs and
weasels. but the population kept in
creasing and there didn't seem to be
any way of getting rid of them.
Then l thought I'd go hunting.

morning I'd lie and watch for them
for an hour or two at time. IL was
great sport The first two or three
nights l bagged about three dozen.
Then the number got less. Finally
all l could get a shot at was the tip
of a nose or a tail or two bright eyes
that would disappear as soon as
raised the gun.

was no use. Then | hit on another
idea | swung a lid on barrel with
a swivel filled the barrel half full Of
water and put lump of cheese in the
center of the lid. Of course as soon
as rat would alight on the other side
of the lid down. he would go into the
barrel. That worked famously. We
bagged them by the dozens for a
while.
Then l guess they held rat coun-
ell. Suddenly the number of victims
got smaller. ometimes there would
be two or three in the barrel but no
more. l watched and saw they were
trying to figure out how to get the
cheese. Two rats would get on the
edge of the barrel opposite each other
and balance onthe lid as they went up.
They generally got so greedy, how
ever, that both would go over.
Then some old rat figured the game
all out. He must have found that
when he stood in the center over the
swivel he was safe. Several nights
the cheese disappeared and there was
no rat in the morning to show for it.

from some of the pipes right on the
center of the lid, balanced himself for
a moment and then went after the
cheese. Another dropped on the other
side. I don't know what the rest o,
them did but those two gobbled up
that cheese and then carefully moved
off along the swivel and dropped of
on to the floor.
