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

A story is going the rounds about
how prominent actress satisfied her
post-season thirst while playing in a
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 part of her costume. During the
week which the show ran the weather
happened to be quite warm. The
management of 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 a scheme that was
most ingenious. She was stopping
at hotel within square OF the the
ater, and this enabled her to work
out her plan successfully.
One night she went to the theater
as usual, but after making up gave
a great imitation Of being Mortified
when she discovered that the caval-
ry boots had been left at the hotel.
Summoning one of the attaches of
the theater. she sent him after the
boots, with instructions to bring them
to her just as he found them. Her
instructions were carried out. and
after bestowing a greatful smile on
the messenger he was allowed to de-
part, after depositing the boots in her
dressing rooms.
AS soon as the door was closed be-
hind him the actress extracted from
the depths of either boot, where she
had placed them before leaving the
hotel, large, cool bottle of beer.

Chinese Belief in Pills

Though the pill habit is said by
medical journa' to couse more rs
pepsia than it cures, 1t has at any
rate the sanction of antiquity. In an
article which DR.. II. l.. Norris Brit
ish naval surgeon on the china sta
ton, contributes TO one of the medical
Journals, he remarks that doses in the
Chinese pharmacopoeia are invariably
large and the pills are taken by tEe
hundreds. The Chinese. he adds pos
sess an enormous veneration for an
tiquity. and besides powdered deer's
horns to promote longevity and tigers
bones to promote bravery, dose them

and shells, ancient SCOT and water in
