A police of- ficial informed him that the staff was absent and that the Museum was not open to the public, that was no sort of excuse for him. Where are the mem bers of the staff, anyhow? demanded the irate taxpayer. At last the official, in despair, said: One of the mummies in the Museum is dead and as a mark of respect the Curators have gone to the funeral"
 The taxpayer departed perfectly sat- isfied.
 Blanche Walsh used to say. and it Is quite possible she has not yet changed her opinion. Tt has long been my desire to play male characters. I have an idea that I can so deport myself that the audience will forget l am woman and regard me as a youth of about 20. Those actresses who assume the role of Rosalind and Viola in 'As You Like It." and Twelfth Night" do not at- tempt to deceive the audiencel as to their sex, but, on the contrary, they strive to keep in view the fact that they are women masquerading as young men. I have devoted a great deal of time to the study of Shakespeare, and of all his characters I love Romeo the best.

Won the Mormon's wife.

Salt Lake City, Feb. 13.-Bishop
Joseph d. Paul, high Mormon off,
cial, will never try to conve1s another
Englishman to Mormoniem. He in.
duoed Percy Bunger to become
Mormon. That was while she bishop
was proselyting in England, g year
ago. Enthusiastic over his convert,
Paul brought him to Utah, set him up
in business and made him o member
OF the Paul household. Recently he
heard rumors that the relations ex-
listing between the convert and Mrs.
Paul we're improper. II drove Bun
ger from my house." the bishop de-
clared. "My wife confessed that she
loved him more than she did me.
Then before could recover my senses
both she and Bunger disappeared"
Detectives who are at work on the
case say that Bunger and Mrs. Paul
have gone to the Pacific coast. Mrs.
Paul took with her the bishops little
daughter. Even the polygamists are
highly incensed over the theft Of the
bishop wife. She is his only wife.
Bunger had professed to be an en-
thusiastic believer in the faith.

and Edward Cooper, the hero, sank to
the ground by his gun, dead.
While these men who thought they

also to inculcatc the lesson Of discip-

One Of the greatest benefits that
the boys derive from the military
drill, next to the physical advantages,
is that it trains them to obey the com.
mand OF central authority. While
training them individually is neces-
sity, and, in some cases, the only pos
sible way of making the boy learn, yet
1t is drilling in body that does the
most good.
The erect attitudes, firm step and
self-reliant demeanor of the boys come
from the drill they get in this brigade,
when, shoulder to shoulder, they
move forward or backward, feeling
that they are, in this respect, at least,
as other boys; that they can go through

Defends WheeIer's Cavalry.

70 the Editor Of the News and Cou-
ricr: II have just road with regrc.
your slanderous allusion to Whceler's s
cavalry in your issue of the 3rd, and
as survivor of that gallant, true and
devoted bard of patriots who served
their country faithfully to the end of
the war, began to impugn the truth
fulness of your assertion. That there
were few bad men in our command
| do not deny, but to stigmatize all
as such and say that as command
they were as bad as the Yankees in
foraging expeditions in the South is
infamously false. This command was
composed of some of the best material
in the armies of the Confederacy and
commanded by ono of the most gal
liant, loyal and patriotic generals, who
was aptly called by Mrs. Davis the
Murat of the Confederacy. No CON.
mander in our army had greater re-
spect for private property than Gen.
Wheeler or did more to protect the
citizens. also beg to call your atten-
tion to tho fact that in following Sher-
man through Georgia and the Caro-
lina's our wagon trains could not keep
up with US, which neccssitatcd our
having to live off The country and take
whatever we could get to eat. The
writer himself lived for days on parch-
ed corn and sweet potatoes, hastily
gathered wherever we chanced to stop
at night. While as command We
were regarded with disfavor by some
of the citizens, it was largely caused
by our having to destroy private prop
erty to keep it from falling into the
hands of the enemy. This was most
painful and disagrecable duty for SOL
diers to perform and naturally made
US disdainful to those who suffered.
Then, too. there was organized regu-
lar band Of marauders who plundered
the people and called themselves
Wheeler's men, which were composed
of deserters, renegades and. strag slers
from every command, all of which did
much to injure US. / remcm Der once
in Georgia a citizen reported to one of
our officers that some Of Wheelcr's
men had just robbed him and rode off.
This officer at onoe set out with a
squad Of men after the scoundrels,
overlook and captured the entire party,
and not one belonged to our command.
This was only ono of many similar
case j. There was no command in the
Confederate army about which there
existed as great misapprehension as
the one commanded by Gen. Wheeler,
and none that achieved moro for the
cause. \
