A SOCIETY EVENT
OCCURS TOMORROW NIGHT.

Miss Alberta Gallatin, who appears
Cousin Kate has had a career of
which she may well be proud. Since
the day of her first performance on the
stage her rise to the top rungs of the
ladder has been gradual and very ap-
preciable. In the earlier years of her
life on the stage she demonstrated to
the best actors of the day that she was
possessed of wonderful talent and abil-
ity and she had been a member of the
profession but a short year until she
began playing the leads with such peo-
pie as Booth and Barrett, Joseph Jeffer-
son, Mrs. Fiske, E. H. Sothern, Rich
ard Mansfield and Thomas Keene. She
was the leading lady for each n of
the latter three gentlemen, an honor
for which thousands of actresses have
striyen without success. Feeling that
her experience with actors of such
magnitude and her natural ability had
fitted her for greater things thar leads,
Miss Gallatin was persuaded by ener.
getic managers to star on her own &C
cord n for the past four seasons has
been seen in Nell Gwynn," Ibsen's
Ghosts" "As You Like It." and "a
Clean Slate" This season she has
been very fortunate in picking out a
play exceptionally well suited to her
natural temperament. cousin Kate"
is one of the most charming society
comedies ever staged and met with al
most unprecedented success at the Hud-
son theater, New York. for an entire
season and also for a seasoning in Lon

A Lowell Anecdote.

The birthday of James Russell Low
ell, which, you know, comes February
22, the same as Washington's re-
minds us of an anecdote the poet used
to relate. Somewhere up in the White
mountains there is certain spot
from which one may look at the face
of cliff and see the features of a
giant man. 1t is well called THE Old
Man of the Mountains" When Mr.
Lowell went there for the first time
he stopped at a saw mill to ask a
workman from what point the "Old
Man" could be seen.
Dunno" answered the workman,
never saw him."
Mr.. Lowell expressed surprise that
the man had never stepped out of his
way to see such a sight which many
people Travelled long way to see
Presently the workman asked: Live
in Boston?"
Yes" answered Mr.. Lowell.
Good deal to see in Boston?"
"Oh, yes," was the reply.
We'll, / should like to stand on
Bunker hill," said the workman.
You've stood there often, reckon"
Mr.. Lowell had to confess that he
had not.
Well, then, you see, mister" re-
marked the countryman, that what
folks can see almost any day they
don't seem to care about seeing at
all."-Milwaukee Star.

Dear Sir:-I suppose you
will be surprised to receive this letter.
| sold out in Manila the first of Octo-
Der. | made about eight hundred dol
lars while was in the restaurant busi-
ness, that is with what made on the
sale; got four hundred dollars more
than the place cost me.
1 am going to Macas tomorrow by
steamer, that is Portuguese settlement
and if don't find anything there that
suits me am going to Canton, China,
that is about eighty miles up the Chu-
kiany river, and is about the largest
city in China. I have not sold my
house yet in Manila but think / will
turn it over to some lawyer to sell for
me. l ought to get about thousand
dollars for it, for it is worth every cent
of that.
Well, Hong Kong is great city. I
arrived here this morning at daylight
and have been going all day. l had a
very rough passage across the China
Sea and was sick all the way.
There are no horses here in the city,
at least have not seen one yet. They
carry you around the city in chairs,
two Chinese to each chair. 1t only
costs seven and one-half cents an hour.
They also have small two-wheeled
cart they haul you around in and a
Chinese cooley takes the place of a
horse. l will be in Canton, China, by
day after tomorrow.
Well, | will bring my letter to a
close as it is supper time.

HIS PIPE-HITTING ACT.
Feat Which Most Flat DwelIers Per.
form at Times.

1T will soon be the season for me
to hit the pipe said Dobson as he
came out of the theater into the cool
night air, to New York Press writer.
You don't mean dope!" said his
companion in alarm.
Worse than that. l mean the
steam pipe. The one that runs from
floor to ceiling in the bathrooms Of
the average fiat. If my pipe-hitting
specially could be dramatized I'd
make fortune, for l am an expert.
The performance generally takes
place in the early morning hours, fol-
lowing the bath. At first the act con-
sisted merely of leaning against the
superheated conveyor of steam while
i swabbed my Apollo-like form. This
was followed by a quick forward
movement, a howl of pain and a hand
picked assortment of cuss words. But
after a time / began to introduce vari-
ations, the most difficult of which was
to step on the soap, slip and grasp at
the pipe to preserve my balance. 1
got SO that after few trials l could
catch that pipe equally well with
either hand. That act always appeals
to my wife, and she sheds real tears
as she knocks at the door and asks
me to remember that the children can
hear me.
There's neat bit of comedy work
in my bending act. 1t consists of
backing up within range of the pipe,
then STOPPING over to pick up the
towel which has fallen to the floor.
The result is that plunge forward
and swat the wall with my
head. I'm going to paint tar
get on the wall and keep rec
ord of the bulIs-eyes I make. An
other neat variation of this feat is in
drawing on my trousers and letting
the bare foot shoot through the proper
orifice and land on the pipe. That,
however, is not so difficult as the one
in which my foot gets caught when
half through the trousers leg. / hop
around on the disengaged foot few
times and usually wind up by clasping
the pipe in fervent embrace.
Once my wife tried to spoil my fun
by hanging some pad arrangement in
front Of the pipe. That was all right
for time and the pad was SO thicl
could lean against it while dressing
and not feel the heated pipe. Some
one took the pad down one day.
didn't know it and leaned as usual
A few minutes later one of the neigh
bors sent out for policeman.

little amusement come around my
| way. You don't have to go into the
house. Just stand on the corner and
