THE WHITE HOUSE.
President Madison's Part In Thu,
Naming the Executive Mansion.

President Madison's Part In Thus
Naming the Executive Mansion.
Just how the White House came to
be SO designated Is question on which
historians differ. A local historian in
Washington thinks that the burden Of
proof tends to give credit for the name
to President Madison.
The structure was made Of Potomac
river freestone. and the capitol proper
was built of the same stone At the
time the British burned the executive
mansion they did lot of other dam
age, and the country was pressed for
money to repair the same. The walls
of the mansion were only slightly dam
aged, other than being blackened by
smoke. Money was scarce. and con-
gress made an appropriation to have
the outside Of the house painted, White
was selected as the best color Madison
in letter to a personal friend wrote:
"Come in and see me at any time. You
will always find me in at the White
Houses"
The executive mansion may have
been called the White House before
that time. but this investigator says
that he has never been able to find any
record Of 1t, II Madison did not off,
ciate at the christening 1t has been
emphatically stated by the historian
that he took prominent part In pub
fishing the fact that the White House
was to be the name of the mansion.
Up to the time Of President Madison
the executive mansion. which Ia the
legal name for It, was generally spo-
ken of as the presidents house. but
since then 1t has been known by its
permanent name of White House.

Baron Roth.child,. Pun.

Owen Wister. the novelist, was talk
ing about puns. 81 detest puns," he
said, "but Fanny Kemble, who was my
grandmother, used to tell one made by
a certain Baron Rothschild that was
good of its kind. The baron was din

son. IT, said the baron, never eats
venishon. think it ish not SO coot ash

The baron laughed, overcome by the

1.-The Shepherd King. f"

witch of Endor. Wright Lorimer, who
is part author of the piece and plays the
role of David, is sincere and skilled
actor of artistic ability. He has sprung
into great public notice with bound;
at one leap he has gone up many rungs
of the glittering ladder of fame. Prac-
tically unknown, even in the large
eastern cities, year ago, today his rep
utation is only less than that of the
greatest American stars. In a company
numbering two hundred it is only posi-
BILE to name those who have leading roles
and who have naturally had most oppor
tunity to distinguish themselves. These
include Charles Kent, who is seen as
King Saul; Edward Mackey as Jonathan,
his son; Percival Lennon as Phalti;
O'Kane Hilles as Jesse, the father of
David; Henry Marlowe as Samuel the
prophet; May Buckley and Nellette Reed
as Michal and Merab, daughters of Saul;
Margaret Hayward as the Witch of
Endor, and Benjamin Williams as Co.
Hath, the giant of Gath. There are i'm
mense choruses of singers, dancers. SOL
diers, slaves and Nubians, besides the
others in the cast.
The drama is given in four acts and
five scenes. Act l shows the home of
David, the shepherd boy. near Bethle-
hem; Act IL, the camp OF Saul in the vale
of Elah; Act III, the palace of Saul at
Gibeah, and Act w, the cave OF the Witch
of Endor and the court adjoining the
palace of Gibeah. The action consumes
three years
In production of this size every essen
tial had to be especially prepared, even
down to the wigs and sandals, and the
piece is expected to produce sensation
in Baltimore, such as no spectacle of its
kind has ever produced.

Wright Lorimer's great production OF
''The Shepherd King" comes to the
Academy of Music, Baltimore, for two
weeks visit, November 18th. In New
York and Boston, where it has already
enjoyed extended runs, it proved reve-
lation, and from the first night the
demand for seats was so great that many
orders had to be returned untitled. The
beauty of the play and its moral teaching
have been commended by the majority
of prominent ministers in the East, while
its dramatic value is theme upon which
critical reviewers have exhausted them
selves. The size of the production has
proved a source of amazement not only
to theatergoers but to managers as we'll.
1t is without doubt the greatest spectacle
ever presented on an American stage,
being what might be termed size larger
than "Ben Hur," which has heretofore
enjoyed that distinction. The present
ing company numbers over two hundred,

charge of the mechanical and other
arrangements are an even hundred IN
number. When compressed as greatly
as possible there was not to be found in
Boston or New York stage large
enough to store the settings. and while
one act was in progress express wagons
were kept hurrying between theater and
various store houses, carrying scenery
for the acts to follow. The scenes are
noted for their artistic value; each is a
triumph of harmonious color and mag
nifcent effects, and the costumes rival
them in gorgeousness. The play itsel
is powerfully appealing in its intensity.

WATER CLOCKS.
Curious Little Instruments That Are
Used In Sahara Desert.

Used In sahara Desert.
A mans wealth in the Sahara is cal
culated almost entirely by the number
of camels or palm trees which he owns
and by the amount of water to which
he is entitled Water in the desert is
SO scarce that the ownership of it is
most jealousy guarded. In "A Search
For the Masked Tawareks" the author
says that in buying a palm grove it is
always necessary to stipulate for so
many sa'as per day or week. sa'a.
literally IAN hour" is the amount of
water which will flow in an hour
through an opening the width Of a
mans fist in the side of segia.
The main segias, or channels, as a
rule follow the roads Of the oasis,
forming a sort of ditch at the side. A
regular time table is kept, showing the
hours at which the owners Of the diff
ferent plantations are entitled to draw
water.
The time is measured by very curl
GUS little water clock, consisting Of q
metal cup, made usually of brass or
copper, with small hole pierced in
the bottom. At the commencement of
each hour this is placed in basin of
water. The water gradually runs
through the hole until at the expiration
Of the hour the cup sinks to the bottom
Of the basin. 1t is then taken out,
empded and set again to measure off
the next sa'a, and so the process is
continued throughout the twenty-four
hours.
This instrument Is usually kept in
the village mosque. In order to pre-
vent all interference with it watch
man L set over it, who notifies the ex-
piration of each hour from the minaret
Of the mosque.
At the end Of the sa'a the opening in
the side Of the segia through which the
water flows is closed with clay. and the
water is cut off and allowed to flow
down the main channel to the next
plantation.

SHE FORCED HER WAY.
The Ruse Annie Russell Used to Get
ON the Stage.


William Gillette was seeking young
girl with a southern accent to play
Esmeralda. Annie Russell answered
an advertisement. She was in short
dresses, with her hair down her back
and sixteen years old.
Nov, my little girl, run back to
your good mother and your Sunday
school lesson" said the dramatist kind
ly. ''The stage is not for such as you.
Run along, my dear"
The little girl obeyed dutifully, but
with no intent of accepting the dis
missal as final. At the place where
she was boarding was an actress who
starred in the small towns in EAST
Lynne" and from her Annie Russell
borrowed an elaborate stage gown
with long train which she plastered
with jewelry, also borrowed. She put
on high heeled shoes and piled her
hair on the top of her head. Thus ar
rayed she again applied to Mr.. Gillette
for the position. He talked with her
without suspicion that he had seen
her before. and later he said to the
manager:
"Well, I think that girl might do.
OF course we can easily make her look
younger, and some good fairy will have
to teach her how to dress. But she
is certainly the most intelligent look
ing applicant we have had"
And that is how Annie Russell Sc

fame.-Everybody's Magazine.

Proverbs

Wher the butter won't
come p;s.-- a penny in the
churn,' is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphltes
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
Is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
