A POOR REHEARSAL.
Wherein William Collier Bluffed His
 Wife Out of Raise in Salary.
From the Kansas City star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 John E. Iogarty. manager of the "Dar- ling of the Gods" company, which Is play ing at Convention hall, tells story about William Collier and his wife, Louise Allen, that bears all the earmarks of having actually happened. This explanation is oftentimes necessary In relating the ut terances of those who live and have their being in the imaginative theatrical world, but MT. Hogartys veracity has been proven in the matter of his own age for he acknowledges being under sixty years-and this test would lend positive credence to anything he might feel called upon to say.
 His story is thus
 T was the business manager of the Collier tour one season under the direc- ton of MT. Smythe, Golfers former man ager, Smythe was a close business man, and he was not wasting any money on fabulous salaries. Among those who were not burdened with heavy envelopes each week was Louise Allen, Collier s wife.
 Willie, she said to the comedian one day, I don't think I'm getting money enough. I'm making good, and I think I'm worth hundred dollars week
 !" Why don't you see Smythe about it. Willie suggested. You know he han dies all my business affairs
 T couldn't Mrs. Collier pouted I wouldn't know how to approach him '' Well. let's rehearse it,, Collier vouch- safed. You go outside and knock on the door-and I'll be Smythe'
 Mrs Collier went out into the hall, took a long breath, and knocked
 What Is 1t? Come in.' Collier growled
 Mrs. Collier became embarrassed as she entered and stammered:
 ' Is this MT. Smythe?'
 Collier screwed his face into terrible sternness and busied himself writing.
 Is this Mir. Smythe?' Mrs Collier tried again.
 Yes growled Collier, and what do you want?'
 He gave perfect imitation of Smythes voice and manner when he was expecting touch. and Mrs. Collier was quite naturally frightened
 Why, MT. Smythe.' she began, I came-that is-I-wel---'
 :" What is it. madame?' Collier shouted gruffiy.
 Why. nothing-sir-nothing at all-- good morning.
 Collier laughed at her and said, that's a bum rehearsal, but 1t might develop into a good performance
 CT can't play the part Mrs. Collier sighed Even you frightened me-
 And the truth is, she never did get a raise so long as Smythe was managing them"

| count. anyhow So far as 1t goes 1t either | can be counted all wasted or all used. ! The fact remains that in fifty years that should have been used l wasted absolute ly 3136 days and 2f hours-over eight and half years that might have been used | advantageously.
 That Is. wasted nearly one-ffth of all my time since l was 10 years old | slept sixteen years our of those fifty, SO thev were unavailable for profitable work.
 I was forced to eat for 1l40 days and 15 hours. or about three years. during those fifty so there is nineteen out necessarily, and adding eight and half years that I wasted there are twenty-seven of the fifty years gone. When you deduct the time man spends going and coming to his work. the time he spends with his family. and in legitimate work. and rec reation outside Of business, from the re- maining twenty-three il becomes appar- ent that a man who is going to be suc- cess must do 1t in hurry If he wastes time as I have.
 And yet I am not an extraordinary case. know hundreds Sf men who waste infinitely more time than l do. Just as in my case. they might have been if they had not wasted so much time.
 It is just like gambling-and the waste time represents the .percentage' In favor of the winner The person who avais himself of that percentage wins and the others lose.
 There is just one other feature of this wasted time which I strove to impress upon my son, and which I would like
 to impress upon others. That Is that
 1t costs more to loaf than to work. A man who works all day spends little money, but he cannot loaf without spend ing at all times. I have figured that
 I cannot loaf over a billiard table in q barroom or at cards under 75 cents an hour It is impossible, l know, to fig
 ure TOW how much money I spent in my useless loafing, but 1t is possible to make a rouch calculation. Counting only the | time in barrooms. over cards, billiards and pool. in excessive smoking, and half of the time marked ''plain loafing," as be- ing expensive 1oafing, and figuring it at
 50 cents an hour. that loaang cost me
 about S16S00 cash in 50 years. That | sounds high but I can see no flaw in the reasoning, and those who loter with ! the gang in barrooms, who play bill 1 lizards and pool and cards, will not dis
 pute that 50 cents an hour expense is ! not high
 ! That figure represents about two years l profits on my business now.

throng through the streets. Children were seen carrying their parents. the strong the weak; while thousands more were staggering under the loads of plumber they had snatched from the flames. This, too would frequently take fire in the falling shower, and the miserable erea- lures would be compelled to drop it and flee for their lives Oh, 1t was a scene of woe and fear inconceivable and inde- scribablel mighty and elose-paclSed city of houses. and churches, and palaces. wrapped from limit to limit in flames, which are feu by a whirling hurricane, IS a sight this world will seldom see.
 But this was within the city. To Ma poleon, without the spectacle was still more sublime and terrific. When the flames had overcome all obstacles and had wrapped everything in their red man tie, that great city looked like a sea Of rolling pillows. Huge domes and towers throwing off sparks like blazing fire brands, now disappeared in their mad dening flow, as they rushed and broke high over their tops, scattering their spray of fire against the clouds. The heavens themselves seemed 10 have caught the conhagration. and the angry masses that swept It rolled over a bosom of fire.
 Columns of flame would rise and sink along the surface of this sea, and huge volumes of black smoke suddenly shoot into the air. as if volcanoes were work ing below. The black form of the Krem- lin alone forwarded above the chaos now wrapped in flame and smoke, again emerg- ing into view, standing amid the scene of desolation and terror, like Virtue in the midst of a burning world, enveloped but unscathed by the devouring clements. Ma poleon stood and gazed on the scene in , silent awe. Though nearly three miles distant, the windows and walls of his apartment were so hot that he could scarcely bear his hand against them Said he years afterwards
 'It was the spectacle of Q sea and bil- lows of fire. Ia sky and clouds of flame. mountains of red rolling flames, like im- mense waves of the sea, alternately burst ing forth and elevating themselves to skies of flame below. O. 1t was the most grand, the most sublime, the most terrific sight the world ever behefdn

WHY HE FAILED.

 Hours In Fifty Years.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 I am 60 years old.
 have been at work, more or less regu- larly, since I was 20, and part of the time between 10 and 20 years of age.
 I am failure, a mediocrty rather, which probably is as bad, If not worse, than an utter failure
 Sometimes, years ago, used to kick and blame others because l was not a brilliant success. In fact, without boast ing I should have been a success. l am quite clever, l know my business, I can sell snuff, and can hustle as hard as any one. l am a fairly faithful worker and have the experience and have had the backing. Yet I have failed
 The day I was GO years old I made some calculations based on solid sober fact, simply to show them to my boy, who Is growing up, 1 hope, at least, to be bit different from his father. I had found ont several years before why I failed. and made these calculations to make it plainer to him. Perhaps the figures may help some other young fellow.
 Plainly. as l found out after blaming everything else I was not fairly sue cessful man because I wasted too much time. Tn fact, I wasted over eight years of time out of fifty available for work in which should have been doing something to advance or improve myself. l was ana am moderately well fixed. If had avail ed myself of that time which ] wasted carelessly and added the results to the small things that l have achieved. my family would have had little more than my life insurance to depend on.

the ham salad at a colored missionary supper last week.
 She was trinmphantly vindicated by sei- enee no later than yester eve. And. further. we are willing to swear | in all gallantfy. that she really did not intend to move the whole colored -four l hundred but did it quite by accident
 As luck would have it, this missionary suFper-slightly marred by this mishap- was the gee string of all the swell eol- l pred society doings of the winter. There have been others, but this missionary supper Was the goods.
 As is the well known custom in such cases, eaeh Of the ladies of the black four hundnedf took to the supper the dish for which she is most famous
 One lady took the angel cake. another the lamb sandwiches, another preserved watermelon; nineteen other ladies took chicken in various guises and disguises. It was reserved for one sister to make the ham salad
 Ii was in a certain sense peace offering made 10 her. She had been the stampeder ii the last church TOW.
 One of the elders thought the ham salad tasted queer, but his innate courtesy re- strained his comments.
 Observing the sister who was the author of it's being standing near. he snacked his i lips unctuously and remarked: De ha-am salad ce tainly was fine
 But he didn't take any more. Others were observed to also refuse the second helping. Raging in her heart, the sister attributed it to the dregs of the recent jealousy.
 But if there were indeed dregs left there was soon general clearing out.
 In the midst of the festivities, in the very height of the soiree, a most peculiar look suddenly came into the deacons face.
 In the midst of one of the gallant speeches for which he is justly ce1ebra ted, the deacon stopped and looked about him in frantic despair. He tried to stutter an apology, but broke off in the middle of word and tucked for the door-wildly
 Several members of the congregation | looked seandalized at the deacon's uneere- monious exit; but presently they too, be- gan edging away. To cut this painful re- cital as short as possible the colored mis- i sionary supper broke up on a dead run there was no time for quiet sneaking. l Afterward the matter was discussed 1 somewhat bitterly among such of the con- l gregation as had not partaken of the ham salad. Those who had almost unanimously remained at home yesterday. Many un- ! kind suspicious were breathed against the unfortunate sister who made the salad.
 It was finally decided that the sister, in her jealous bitterness had actually ] poisoned the salad
 1 deputation, with gravity written in l their faces, took the remains of the salad to the city chemist yesterday for exami- nation. They held the dish gingerly and tragically before them and waited out side the door while the analysis was made
 No poison was found, but the result of the analysis was almost equally distress | ing and startling.
 In her excitement the good sister had mixed up her lotions. When it got to the | place where the sister meant to have put In the sweet extract of olive she had most unh ppily put in castor oil.
 Some of the brethren who are very fond of ham salad are reported still in the running.

 Headache

We want you to know that Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills pre- vent as well as relieve head ache, and that they leave no bad after-effects. We assure you that if taken when you first discover indications of an attack, they will drive it away, and thus not only save you the misery and distress, but the weakening influence, of pain upon your system. Used in this way the attacks become less frequent, and eventually entirely disappear. They re- lieve pain by strengthening the nerves and overcoming the turbulent, excited condition, which is the cause of pain.
 we used Dr. Miles Anti Pain Pills in our family for five years, and I would not like to do without them. Before I found this remedy I would have spells of sick headache so severe that 1 would be prostrated for as many as 4s hours at a time The Anti Pain Pills stop the pain in 8 few minutes. I have a great deal of neuralgia around the heart, and the Pain Pills also relieve that. I now take them when I think I will have an attack, and they stop it right then. l also notice that l do not have these spells nearly so frequently as formerly"

From the Omaha Examiner.
 An Irishman and a Swede were caught red-handed in the act of cattle-stealing put west, and the usual court of Judge Lynch had arrived at the usual verdict. Whereupon the court adjourned to the bridge across the Niobrara and prepared to execute it's unanimous sentence. The Ewede was given the honor of being thrown off the bridge-with a rope around bis neck-first. But by some mistake the knot united just as the Swede hit the water and he swan to the bank and hit khe trail.
