Barrie's ShyneSs.
1t Broke Up Lunch Party With Prom
ising Young Actress.

ising Young Actress.
]. VI. Barrie's shyness is responsible
for disappointment mingled with amuse-
ment on the part OF a. promising young
English actress. The girl. who is un-
usually comedy. was engaged recently to
understudy the leading part in one Of
Barr;e's plays, and has been rehea-sing
under the dramatist's own eye. Her
work seemed to please Barrie, and at
the end of a rehearsal not so long ago,
so the story goes, he came UP and ask
ed for the pleasure of her company at
luncheon. Unfortuns tely. however the
young actress had an engagement. she
could not forego and was obliged TO re-
fuse
A few days later Barrie again ap-
preached her in his quiet. rather ner-
vous way, and repeated the invitation.
Again. TO her immense chagrln. the girl
had an important appointment Shortly
afterward the invitation was extended
once more. This time the young actress
accepted and was in high glee over the
prospect OF a pleasant tete-a-totc with
Barrie and revelins in advance over tha
good things she expected him 10 say.
At the appointed time the pair Left the
theater and went 10 a nearby restaur-
ant where a quiet corner was secure ed.
with some obvious difiidence Barrie or
dered lunch. Then there was silence.
The fair guest. rather surprised. hazard
ed some remarks, which were answered
in monosyllables. Silence again, broken
after little by another desperate at
tempt on the part Of the girl 10 make
conversation. But her companion an
swered hardly a word. and so the lunch
con went on N mute solemnity. At the
end Of Il Barrie inquired gTavely. Shall
We return to the theater?" And they did.

MORE STEEL STOCK.
Corporation Employees Can Have
More Shares.

As has been customary since 1902,
the United States Steel corporation
will this year make distribution of
preferred stock to employees and the
rate at which the corporations work.
ers may secure it is about par or some
what below the market price.
The stock is distributed to the en-
ployes according to the size of their
salaries, but those receiving the small
est are given the preference so that If
the demand for the stock is greater
than the supply, the needs Of the
humber workers will be supplied
first. The Recipients of the stock
are permitted to pay for it during the
year, at times when it is most con-
venient and every January they are
given rebate of S. for every share
they hold. This continues for five
years so that S25 is returned for every
man for every share he holds provid-
ing he remains an employe of the
company.
George w. Perkins, who is so much
in the public eye at present, conceived
this idea of distributing the stock
and devotes his personal attention to
it. 1t Is one of his hobbies. Judge
e. III. Gary ia another officer who
takes great interest in it. The dis
tribution will be made on the first day
of January.
The employees of the following COM
panies doing business in Minnesota
will share in the distributions: The
Oliver Iron Mining company the Pitts
burg Steamship company. the Duluth,
Missabe & Northern Railroad com.
pany and the Duluth & Iron Range
Railroad company.

DEADLY ENGLISH SPORTS.
Natives of South Africa Try Rowing
with Results Somewhat
Disastrous.

Wherever an Englishman finds his
way he leaves traces behind in the
form of his favorite sport or pastime.
Civilization Of this kind has just
touched the Zambesi, and the natives
are reported to have taken kindly to a
regatta, says Stray Stories.
Some Of the events were interfered
with by what might be termed local
elements. or example the eight-oar
boat race was scarcely conspicuous
success. owing to a stampede of ele-
plants into the water at the start.
AS a result, only one boat was left
to complete the course, and that one
was bitten in half by a hippopotamus
when about half distance.
In the crocodile race a protest was
lodged in consequence of the winning
reptile arriving home with his jockey
inside, having accidentally swallowed
him for safety during collision.
The natives engaged in, the sailing
match fell in with an unfriendly tribe
half way down the river, and landed
to settle outstanding differences. This
happened two months ago. and II none
Of the boats put in appearance before
the close of the year the time limit
clause will enable the committee to
cancel the race.
If the rate of mortality maintained
by the last regatta is upheld, statis'
ticians estimate that three more OF
these riverside festivals may be held
before the tribe becomes extinct.

How 1t Was Done.

w. T. Stead, editor of the Review
of Reviews describes Finland's blood
less revolution for freedom in part as
follows:
Never was there more ideal revo.
luton than that which has just been
accomplished in Finland. Perfect as
awhole, it was complete in all its
pats. 1t began and ended in week.
All the power was transferred with
out blow. 1t is difficult to say which
side won the brighter laurel, the Rus
slams who ceded or the Finlanders
who seized supreme authority.
"The night before the overturn, !
dined with Prince Obolenski, the gov.
ernor general of the grand duchy OF
Finland. None of US had any idea as
we sat at the table Of the storm which
was to burst the next day. That the
| old autocrat system introduced by
General Bobrikoff six years ago was
doomed no one admitted more frankly
than my host. He was a dictator who
was appointed to bury the dictator
ship decently. He had been engaged
fifteen months in digging its grave.
The funeral of the Bobrikoff regime
was precipitated by the proclamation
of the Russian constitution that very
night. And no one shed fewer tears
among its mourners than Prince Obo.

Korean Curiosity.

Oriental gardeners are adopts at
plant tricks, but one of the unique
productions of the Korean gardener Is
a natural armchair, in which the re-
quired shape was attained during the
growth of the vine Almost from the
time the first tiny shoot appeared the
vine had been carefully treated in an
ticipation of the use to which it was
to be put. BY the time it attained its
growth it was formed into a perfect
rustic arm chair, studded with the
seeds of the ginko tree, which had
grown into the fibres of the wood, as
ornaments. All of the joints were made
by grating, so that the chair is prac-
tically in one solid piece, and after 1t
had attained a growth of some three
feet it was cut and dried. When thor
oughly seasoned it was polished, the
wood taking finish like mahogany,
and it forms the only complete chair
grown upon the plant.
