A WOMAN OF RESOURCE.
Actress Had Her Way in Spite OF
MANAGERIAL Rules.


A story is going the rounds about
how a prominent actress satisfied her
post-season thirst while playing in
special production after her winters
engagement was over. The young
artist is very well known to theater-
goers, and for this reason her name
will be omitted.
A special production in which she
appeared made It necessary for her
to wear high topped cavalry boots
as a part of her costume. During the
week which the show ran the weather
happened to be quite warm. The
management CT the theater supplied
the actors with ice water. but prohib-
tied any of the members Of the cast
from taking stronger refreshments
into the place.
This actress is quite resourceful.
and soon hit upon 4 scheme that was
most ingenious. She was stopping
at a hotel within 4 square Of the the
alter, and this enabled her to work
out her plan successfully.

them from the camp-fires. Suddenly

His laughter vanishing, the King
came to earth in both senses Of the

you mean by that" he said. "You
were with me on the island. You

we made peace together to last the
whole of our lives. Did you not hear
that?"
Rothgar kicked a stone out Of his
way with impatient emphasis. "Oh,
yes, l heard it. l heard also how you
said that you would rather have the
Englishmans friendship than his
kingdom"

In the vault overhead blue had
doepened into purple, and all the Sill

their flames trembling increasingly in
the playing winds. BY the soft light,
the Jotun. who was striding across
the Danish camp, saw graceful boy

Kings fire and join group of mount

"Ho there, Fridtjof!" ne roared
wrathfully.
The figure turned, and he had a
fleeing glimpse of hand waved in
hooking farewell. Then the boy
sprang into the saddle Of horse
that one of the warriors was holding.
and the whole band moved forward
at swinging pace.
"If you had waited little, you
would be less light on your feet" the
Jotup growled as he strobe on, strik-
ing his heels savagely upon the frosty
ground.
Where is the King?" he demanded.
Jas soon as he had reached the ring

toward the waited hut beneath the

A Telling RebuIxe.

The privilege of the family OF De
Courcy, barons of Kinsale, to wear
hats in the presence of the English
kings was well established, though not
always exercised. Soon after the ac-
cession Of George II. to the throne the
then Lord Kinsale, who had just come
to his title, was introduced ut court
with the usual ceremonies. Whether
from mistake in etiquette or from pride,
instead of just putting on his hat and
Immediately taking it off again, Lord
Kinsale walked about the drawing
room for considerable time with his
hat on. The courtiers all stared, and
the whole assembly was thrown into
some embarrassment. When the king,
noticing the circumstance, very polite
ly went up to his lordship and told
him that he believed he was under
some trivial mistake for, though he
had an undoubted right to wear his
hat before him, yet his lordship ap-
peared to have forgotten that there
were ladies In the room, Lord Kinsale
instantly felt the rebuke, bowed and
took off his hat.

Fatal Etiquette.

The rigid etiquette of courts has
more than once come near making a
martyr of the person whom the rules
prevented from aiding offhand. In
Spain these notions of etiquette were
carried to such an extent that Philip
III. met his death in direct conse-
Quence of them. The king was one
day gravely seated by chimney,
where the fire maker Of the court had
kindled so great q quantity of wood
that the monarch was suffOcating with
heat. His grandeur would not suffer
him to rise from the chair to call for
help, the officers in waiting were not
within call, and the domestics could
not presume to enter the apartment
because it was against the etiquette.
At last the Marquis de Polat appeared,
and the king ordered him to damp the
fire, but he excused himself alleging
that he was forbidden by the etiquette
to perform such q function, for which
the Duke d'Usseda ought to be called
upon, as 1t was his business. The duke
was gone out, the fire burned flercer,
and the king endured it rather than
derogate from his dignity, but his blood
was heated to such degree that cry
sipelas broke out in his head the next
day, which, being succeeded by vio-
lent fever, carried him off.

READY FOR DEFENSE.
Prosecutions Testimony In Smoot
Case Is All In.
MoRMoNs ARE NOT PROSECUTED
Witness Owen Makes Startling Dis.
closures Of Alleged Partially Shown
In Western Courts Toward Mormons
Whom He Charged With PoIygamy.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The Senator
Reed Smoot Investigation Tuesday
reached that period where counsel for
the protestants have concluded the ex-
animation OF all persons who could be
reached by the subpenes issued by the
senate committee. Attorney Taylor an
nounced that he was ready to rest his
case. The case Of the respondent will
be opened Jan. 10, to which date the
hearings have been adjourned.
The principal witness Tuesday was
Charles M. Owen, who has been en-
ployed In gathering data to be used
against the Mormon church in the
Smoot inquiry. He testified in regard
to bringing actions against prominent
church officials and as to the attitude
of courts and prosecuting attorneys in
such cases He declared that such
prosecutions are unavailing, as when
convictions were obtained small fines
we're imposed and in most cases these
were paid by popular subscription
Cases Against Snow.
MIR. Owen said cases were instituted
against the late Lorenzo Snow, presi-
dent of the Mormon church.; Joseph F.
Smith, now president Of the church,
and Brigham H. Roberts, wins was
elected member Of congress but de-
MED his seat on account of his having
plural wives. A warrant was denied
in the first case and Roberts secured
an acquittal by appealing his case af-
ter conviction. Many instances Of
Mormon officials refusing to recognize
informations charging polygamy were
reported to the committee by the wit
ness.
Mr.. Owen said that this past sum-
mer he learned Of challenge made
by Senator Smoot as counsel, that if
any sworn informations were filed
with him charging Idaho Mormons
with being polygamists, he would pros
ecute to conviction. The witness said
he filed sworn informations in twenty
cases, including the name of Bulge,
Parkinson and other prominent Idaho
Mormons, but that the prosecutor
would not act
Wanted Case Withdrawn.
The witness said he was approached
when the Lorenzo Snow case was in
stituted, before Judge Bartch, men,
Der Of the supreme bench of Utah,
and urged to withdraw the prosecution
On the ground that it was ill-advised,
President Snow being very old man
and one whose prosecution would
arouse a great disturbance.

Congress allowed $7s,329 to the

Thrcneed Probate Office.
Week after week motley bands of
Indians tbronged the probate office,
ranging from heavy-visaged bucks to
wizened old men, from sleepy papooses
to pipo-sucking old squaws. The re-
suit was the appointment OF guardians
in legion and seventy-eight Indians OF
all ages were found entitled to share
of the $7S,329.
Special Indian Agent S. L. Taggart
of Dubuque, Ia, had the distribution
of the funds, and only three Indians
were absent, these being the only ones
who have not recovered from recent
epidemic of smallpox in the reserva-
tons. After Expenses had been paid
each of the Indians was given $210.9S.
Some have been induced to bank the
new fortunes; others will continue to
pay it into Battle Creeks treasury for
overindu]gence in firewater.

They Graced the Banquet Boards OF
Greece In Homer's Time.

Greece In hOmer's time.
The origin Of sausage is indeed pre-
historic, since, II we are to believe our
Homer, sausages were not unknown to
the heroes of ancient Greece. Besides,
Aristophanes, than whom none has Civ
en- us a more faithful picture of his
own time, makes mention of the sue
culent sausage as popular and estab-
lished article of Athenian diet.
But If the fastidious Greeks knew
and appreciated its worth 1t was Rome
that raised its status to one of dignity
and Importance and imbued the sau-
sage with true artistic significance.
Has not Juvenal left 1t on record as
his unbiased opinion that ''the pig is
an animal created for the banquet
hallT while Varro AYERS 1--WE quote
from memory that the beast destined
after life to be known and appreciated
as pork is natures good gift to the
gourmet" Nay, has not Horace, too,
sung its praises, and Apicius devoted
whole pages to recipes on sausage
making" in his classic cookery book?
While, lastly, was 1t not Roman
culinary artist who introduced that "set
piece" the Trojan hog lin touching
memory Of the horse so named), which
pig appeared at table whole Of body

simulated wrath on the part Of the
master Of the feast, "Why had the pig
not been carved, by Jupiter?" A slave
would be sent flying for the cook, and
the cook would come trembling, as one
who opined he'd done with life. Then
indignant reproaches, responded to by
abject apologies, when, hey, presto, the
cook takes the knife, inserts 1t in the
monumental pig, and out tumble roast
ed birds and tiny sausages galore, and
the delighted guests set to again with
knives and fingers, since forks they
had none.
So much for the sausage Of classic
antiquity. AS to it's present home, the
wurst, or rather the pig, which, after
all, is the embryonic wurst had its
first habitat amid those dark forests
where dwelt the old Germanic war
riors. Clearly, then, it must have been
the Latin race that, finding so much
