CHOOSING A PART.
An Actors Experience In the Days Be-
fore He Became a Star.

We supported visiting stars at the
museum. One of these stars was
Jerry Cohan, the father of George
Cohan. We played ''The Molly Ma
guires" with him. I had to play a
lawyer and had no white shirt. Con-
vention demanded that lawyer
should not wear a colored shirt.
Looking frantically about the dress
ing room I found a soiled paper
cuff. | cleaned it with breadcrumbs,
cut it into V shape and pinned it
over my colored shirt. Another star
was Frank Frayne, who was a fine
marksman. His wife and brother
and brother-in-law travelled with
him. He shot an apple off her head
and pipe out of Negroes mouth.
A member of the company was a
fierce looking bulldog that ran down
an incline and sprang upon the vii
lain Of the company, bearing him to
the earth and tearing angrily at a
red flannel chest protector worn by
the villain. The dog was good
actor, but intense. The man who
played the villain showed me his
chest covered with scars where the
dog had bitten him instead Of the
chest protector. 1t was very melo-
dramatic spectacle, and Mr.. Davidge
depended upon it to build up the
falling fortunes of his house. While
Frayne was playing there there was
some discussion in the family, and
his brotheEin-law, who played the
villain, left the company. Mr.. Da-
vidge sent for me and offered me
one of the two parts, that of the
negro who had the pipe shot from
his mouth or the villain who was
attacked by the dog.
''They are both splendid parts"
he said, "and if you will play either
Of them I will put your name on the
billboards."
I did not wait to consider. OF
course I would play one Of them
They were both dangerous, but If ]
played them 1 was to be featured
and that was worth dying for
Which part would [ choose? l had
held the dog before he made the
run down the incline and attacked
the villain. I knew his muscles
were like steel, and I remembered
how eager he was for his part in
the performance. Besides, [ never
liked dogs. I don't now. | elected
to play the negro. Frayne was 6
splendid marksman. He had never
missed aim. But I thought he
might. He never drank, but, l re
fected again, he might for the frs
| time. While l played the negro
these thoughts disturbed me. The
pipe wabbled between my unsteady
teeth. A few years later Frank
Frayne missed aim for the first
time. He shot his wife in the head
killing her instantly.-Otis Skinner

Too Well Posted.

"Woman," said he in agonized
tones, "you have broken my heart: "
She laid her ear to his manly
bosom.
"No," said she after listening in
tently, "there is not the slightest
evidence of organic lesion. There
is a slight palpitation, due perhaps
to cigarettes; that is all"
And now the young man swears
that hereafter when he makes love

WASHINGTON NOV
The History Of This Won
Imposing Structure


Imposing Structure.
Washington monument i
derful structure and very i'm
Built of white marble, abs
without ornamentation and
by an aluminium pyramid,
mense needle rises to ID
over 555 feet.
It took thirty-six years I'd
cost $1,250,O00 and weigh
upon 100000 tons. There il
enough in the interior Of The
ument to house an army Of
men, for the landings will @
modate 7,675, the stairs $50
upper and lower platforms 10
the elevator 80. There are
steps. The weight Of the cap
is 5000 pounds, while the na1l
of blocks of marble used in its
struction reached $4,000.
The cornerstone of this gigan
monument was laid on July 4, 184
and on the 9Th of December, 188
| the topmost stone Of the pyranai
was set. Two months later the
great shaft was dedicated. The
immense structure rests on a foun-|
dation bed Of fine sand two feet
| thick, which is laid on stratum Of
powders and gravel, and its stabil-
| ity is assured against all natural
causes except earthquakes and the.
washing out of the sand beds be-
meath the monument.
The Washington monument stands
on site selected by George Wash
| ington in the year 1888. It is close
by the banks of the Potomac, SUR
rounded by forty acres Of sloping
mounds and terraces, and but .frac-
tional distance from the Jefferso-
MAN meridian, which passes due
north and south through the center
of the White House and due east
and west through the center Of the
capitol.
The monument has thirty-one
landings, the first one being 90
feet from the base and the last $50
feet. On the walls of each landing
are various memorial Inscriptions
and tablets presented by different
societies, persons and countries.
The thirteenth platform is at 9
height of $50 feet, and it is here
where the government began It's
work of finishing the monument in
1878. Altogether the monument
contains 176 memorial tablets.
There is one tablet which is totally
decayed and illegible, SO that no
one knows where it came from OF
who gave it.
| Many of the blocks of marble were
| sent by foreign countries as trtb-
ute of admiration for the Father
of His Country. All Of these now
form part of the monument with
one exception. This was block
| of African marble from The temple
| of Concord, Rome, sent as a gift
from the pope. 1t bore the inscrip-
ton, "Rome to America" In
March, 1854, however, the lapidari-
UNI, where the memorial blocks
were kept, was forcibly entered, and
this stone was taken and, 1t is sup
posed, was thrown into the Poto-
mac. A reward for its return was
offered, but the stone was never re-
covered, and its hiding place re-
mains secret to this day.

ALA PIECES
OF OTHERS SKIN
kilby Would Have Died III kinsfoik
and Church Friends Had
Not Borne Pain.

New York. July 27.-More than two
thirds of his body was severely burned
by an explosion of a small alcohol lamp
nearly three months ago. but George
s. kilby, 81 years old. of Brooklyn,
upon whose body Ala pieces of skin
had been grated. has been pronounced
cured.
According to DIR. Herbert C. Allen
this is an unprecedented case in skin
grating. 1t WAS only made possible
by q great number of Kilby's friends.
who volunteered to save his life.
Among the first to offer themselves
were little Lucia B. Kilby. IL years
old. daughter of the afflicted man. and
his father. George r. Kilby. While the
child was being iiayed she smilingly
old the surgeon that she suffered nc
pain and that she was llling to stand
any torture to say" her dad. The
child was on the operating table sew
cral times.
Dr. Allen declared that the chances
Of recovery was about two in 100, and
sent the injured man to the hospital
In Sc desperate IL case. he SAID, the
only chance was in patching up the
burned space with small pieces Of skin
from others bodies.
The physician said that ut least
fifty persons must volunteer. Word
was sent to the Hanson Place Baptist
church, where the kilby family were
worshippers. and less than twelve hours
later more than 100 men and women
had offered themselves.
AZ different times in the past two
months and IL half thirty pieces of skin
has been removed from h injured
mans wife. and about the same num-
her from his daughter. Lucia. About
twenty particles were removed from
she left arm of his father. Miss
Blanche Snyder, the nurse, gave thir-
ty-three pieces from her left leg.
More Cutic!e Contributed.
The skin cut from each volunteer
measured more than ~one-quarter of an
inch in diameter.
Last week DIR. Alien discovered that
he required about two inches more and
gave it from his own arms and legs.
IF the skin Mac not been grated
kilby would be 4 dead man" said the
physician. His wife and Miss shy
der deserve great praise. In my recoi-
lection this is the first patient of the
kind to survive"
Mr.. Kilby's body is covered with
more skin belonging to others than
that of any other person in the world.

AN ANALYSIS OF SAGE.
Religious and "a Man Of Courage as
Well as Caution.

AS Russell Sage began his business ca
recr poor and died VIA an income of
s.. 600. 900 a wear he Is wo.".h studying.
He was tail. thin. but not wasted. His
body was that of Il man who has grown
old without cXccsscS.
His shoulder We're Stoopcd as becomes
one who carried 50.utc.u nm on his back.
His forehead was not the bulcing dome
of so many successful Americans. 1t
sloped backward and became narrower to-
ward the top. The mo~ueY-maiking instinct
being there. there was no room Tor vices
and Weaknesses.
Russell Sage went about collecting mon
oy with the same emotion. and as much of
It. US an anteater shows when ii Hicks up
ants. Speculation based on Imagination,
or anything but Il sure conviction OF profit,
was unknown to him.
He had been twice in congress. but he
never cared to distinguish himself IN pol
itics. He was fond of a good horse. bur
he did not buy many of the best.
