Perhaps Crockett Ridgeway, determin-

A headlong rush was made, Colonel
John threw himself from his horse,
determined TO risk much in order to
save the papers. One sweeping
glance he took, and then dashed into

During the four months of the shoot

Kimberley market. Those figures
were rather staggering. but it is sur
prising, perhaps, to hear that they
had more than doubled during the
present year.
The secretary of the Game Protec-

from the marketmaster which showed
that 29.119 head of game were sold on
the Kimberley market during the
period April to August 10 last. If

THE SACRIFICE OF GEN. BELL.

In sacrificing promotion to the RANK on
major general in order that friend may nave inc
coveted honor Brig Gen. j. Franklin Bell chiei
of staff the army. has done an act unparaileleu
in magnanimity and generosity in American mill
tary records.
Brig. Gen. Jesse NJ. Lee, civil war veteran:
the only left among the higher oilcers OF
the army, is to be retired by law early next Jah-
airy. There was vacancy among the major gen
erals when Lieut.. Gen. Corbin retired the other
day and Mai Gen. Macarthur was promoted to
succeed him.
Under the usual operation of the regulations
Gen. Bell would have been advanced to fill the
vacancy. thus giving him rank equal to that of
any other officer assigned to departmental duty at
Washington a condition extremely desirable.
But Bell stepped aside in favor of Gen Lee so
that the latter might retire with the higher rank
record. but has always refused to allow infuent

Despite the chivalry for which Am.
 erica is noted, an actress who essays
 Shakesperean roles must expect not generosity, but justice. Miss Marie
 Drofnah who has scored one success
 upon another in her impersonation of the leading feminie roles in Charles E.
 Hanford's productions has won the honors, now freely accorded her squarely upon her merits. She has made no ostentatious appeals to public interest; the recognition she has found is the more complete because of it's absolute spOntaneity. With scant con fidence at first in her own powers, she conscientiously essayed the task that came to hand, and became so absorbed in the realization of her own artistic ideals that she had not time to ap- prec:ate the magnitude of her own tri- umphs- An association with an actor like Chas. B. Hanford could not fail to develop her capabilities to the ut most and today she is one of the most enthusiastically admired women on the American stage. Her pOrtrayals are by the most delicate fem ininity and yet possess the certainty and repose which can only come with of popula$ opinion. She is sure of her effects because audiences have left no room for doubt as to their convincing completeness. She did not rest content with the assur.
