One of the most humorous incl
tents of her career occurred during
The late Mrs. Gilbert's earlier days,
when she was a member of a com.
pany presenting an intensely emo
sional drama. Proof was furnished
The family of the hero that apparent

pleasant kind. Naturally there was
much weeping or the stage, accom-
panied by wringing of hands and
other demonstrations. On n occa-
sion the strained cen was complete
y spoiled by a man in the gallery,
who yelled: "Cheer up, cheer up. 1t
may not be true"

Not long since some Harvard stu
dents ambitiously undertook to play
Hamlet" for the benefit of a char
!ty. The man who was to act the part
Of Horatio was extremely timid, and
when the night of the performance
came, he was badly overcome by
stage-fright. During the scene De-
tween Horatio, Marcellus, and Ham
let, Horatia managed to sputter out
his line, while N with moderate
haste might tell a hundred" His
fright confused Marcellus, who for
got his cue, and instead of rejoining
Longer, longer" stood staring at
Horatio. The prompter, with a view
to helping out Marcellus, began to
whisper from the wings, Longer,
longer" Unfortunately Horatio, hav-
ing lost all control of himself, was in
spired with the idea that the man
playing Marcellus was looking at him
because he had made an error, and
that the words from the wings were
addressed to him. With a great eff
fort he Strengthened himself up, clear
ed his burning throat, and said loud
ly: while one with moderate haste
might tell two hundred. then"

On one occasion, when a change in
the cast had been made at the Savoy
Theatre, Sir Arthur Sullivan, who
happened to be dining at the Savoy
Hotel, slipped away for a few min
utes from the table, and went into the
theatre to the upper circle, there to
hear and judge for himself the capa-
bilities of the new artists. AS the
play proceeded and a favorite score
in the opera vas taken, the talented
composer unconsciously commenced
to hum the refrain as he desired it to
be rendered. This considerably an
noyed his next-door neighbor, who abb
ruptly remarked: Excuse me, sir, if
! mention the fact that | have paid MY
money to hear Sir Arthur Sullivan's
charming opera given by the COM
pany, and not your COMPOUNDED hum
ming!" Sir Arthur returned to his
dinner and related the incident with
great gusto. .

Fuel for PUMPING Water.

In these columns at various
times We have noted the
great progress being made at
the New Mexico station in its in
vestigations of irrigation by pumped
water. The cost of fuel per acre has
been shown to be very small, whether
wood or coal has been used. The sta
ton now reports that it finds a still
cheaper fuel in crude oil. A 22-horse
power gasoline engine was used and
the cost of the ten-hour run was as
follows: Crude oil. $3.05; kerosene,
S6,57; gasoline, $685.. This will be of
great interest to those who are put.
ting in plants to irrigate their gar
dens and plats by means of pumps.

But strange to say the good woman

Exhibit at the Poultry Shows.

Interest in poultry raising can be
stimulated in nc better way than by
making an exhibit at some of the
numerous poultry shows. Every year
we have a very large number Of these
shows, both in connection with county
and state fairs and under the auspices
of poultry associations. The farmer
that wants to get his boys interested
in poultry can do no better than to
encourage them to show the best
fowls they have at the nearest poultry
show. II they have no birds, he
should buy a few. The rules of most
poultry shows do not require that the
birds shall be raised by the exhibitor,
0 do they require that the exhibitor
shall be a member of any poultry as

One Icy night, Charlotte Cushman
and Lawrence Barrett came out of the
theatre together. The steps were
dangerously slippery. and 1t was with
difficulty that they kept their feet at

manner: flake a good grip on my
arm, Lawrence. and if / slip, hold on
like grim death; but if you slip, in

Private SLAUGHTER Houses.

There is a movement on foot
in Germany to do away with private
slaughter houses. 1t is proposed to
allow only public slaughter houses,

direction of obtaining for the people

DRIVEN TO DEATH
BY LOSS OF WIFE
GRIEF CAUSED SUICIDE OF R.
LINDINGER
CARED 0THING FOR LIFE
Left a Note for His Son in Which He
Says Death of Loved One Made
Him Die by His Own
CARED 0THING FOR LIFE

Grief over the recent loss of his wife
and i'll health caused R. Lindinger TO
commit suicide yesterday morning by
shooting himself in the right temple
with revolver. A shot from the
Lindinger residence, 27OS Temple street,
attracted the attention of c.. D. Ridder
about II o'clock in the morning and he
entered the house to investigate.
He found Lindinger lying dead on the
bed in his room with a revolver clasped
in his right rand. A note on the table
near by, directed to his son Charles,
explained that Lindinger had taken
his own life because he was suffering
from an incurable disease and cared
to live no longer without his wife, who
died a short time ago. In the note he
gave directions how his funeral should
be prepared and asked that he be
buried in a gray suit of clothes.
The dead man had 5000 in the bank
and owned the property on which he
was living.
