ELDER DID THE WASHING.
Rev. Perry Miller of ARpIetO
Raised Money for Parsonage.
~~OO~ON~O~

Rev. Perry Miller of Appleton
Raised Money for Parsonage.
Rev. Walter J. Patton of the Brokaw
Memorial Methodist church in Kaukauna
and his wife held house warming the
other evening. The ladies of the church,
who had pledged themselves to give 81
each, reported having raised $50 toward
the new parsonage. This report came in
the form of an experience meeting of
how each one accomplished the feat.
There were numberless cases of its hav-
ing been done by washings done for pay.
The presiding elder of the Appleton dis
trict, Rev. Perry Miller, who was pres
ent, reported that he had done two wash
ings at 80 cents each. A woman owned
up to the fact that she actually etched
the necessary cash from her hubby's
pocket while he was taking his second
nap in the morning. The new parsonage
has just been completed at a cost of
$4,000.

BATTLE OF BosWoRTH FIELD.
Scene of Struggle Has Undergone
Many Changes Since 1S45.

Scene of Struggle Has Undergone
Many Changes Since 1S45.
Four hundred and nineteen years
ago was fought the last of the twelve
engagements of the wars of the roses,
says the Birmingham Post, which end
ed the line of Plantagenet kings Of
England. The scene Of the final strug-
gle, Radmore plain, six or seven miles
distant from Nuneaton, has undergone
many changes since this great event.
The district retains it's rural aspect,
but the ''battlefield' is intersected by
a railway and the Ashby -de-la-Zouch
canal, while here and there a village
has sprung into existence since the
disastrous engagement of four CEN
turtles ago. Sutton Ambion hill COM
mands the best view Of the classic
ground, and in a field close by stands
the sole memento Of the eventful day
liking Dicks Cross" 1t is a min
nature pyramid Of gray stones, with a
Latin inscription recording that Rich
ard III. paused to quench his thirst
from the spring beneath before he
made his desperate and fatal charge
upon the Earl Of Richmond. Rich
mond had landed at Milford Haven
on August Z, and approached Bos-
worth from the Atherstone side, in
which town there is still pointed out
an inn at which the earl rested on the
eve Of the battle. Richard III. as
sembled an army to meet him, and,
standing on the hill at Sutton AM
bion, one can see how mastery was
that mOnarch's selection of position.
He was weakened by the desertion Of
Lord Stanley, but fought with des-
perate courage, and sought to STAY
his enemy in person. Cutting a way
to Henry Tudor's standard, he was
overpowered by the numbers of the
foe, and borne to the ground, being
dispatched with many wounds. The
spot where he fell is now the juno
ton Of three country roads north of
Shenton railway station. Many frag-
ments Of armor and shields have been
discovered here at different periods.
A mile or so away lies the hamlet Of
Darlington, where may still be seen
traces Of the earthworks thrown up
by Sir William Stanley on the eve Of
the battle. The church is tiny struc-
ture, with Norman foundations. In
1881 numerous human skeletons ar
ranged in regular tiers were dug up
in the churchyard, which, it is be-
lieved, were the remains Of men who
fell at Bosworth field.

BREAKING UP THE SCENE.
An Incident Recalls EARLY Stage ca
reer of Old Mrs. GiIhort

An Incident Recalls EARLY Stage Ca.
reer of Old Mrs. Gilbert.
Nothing would cause Clara Blood
good greater distress than to have it
said that she acts for the love Of her
art-a sentiment which in theatrical
circles is generally attributed to chorus
girls; but it happens to be true. for
she is of an old and prominent New
York family, and in private life is the
wife Of a well-known Wall street man.
Another evidence of the fact is that
she is scrupulously insistent on every
detail Of performance in which she
takes part, as many an exasperated
manager will testify, says the Satur-
day Evening Post. She knows-what
the manager and public seldom realize
that the effect OF a scene is often
spoiled by the most trivial accident.
The other day an old actor who
shares with her her principal scene
in Bernard Shaw's "NIan and Super
man," and who had hitherto worn a
picturesque head Of hair, appeared on
the stage with a fighting haircut. The
threw the actress quite out Of the
spirit Of her part. 1t was all she
could do to keep from laughing. Now
she is insistent on the point that an
actress who has a new hat, or an actor
who has been to the barber, should
rehearse his change Of dress, or at
| least give warning of it,
The incident recalled a happening
of her early and obscure days on the
stage. She had small part in Jerome
*. Jerome's Miss Hobbs" in which
Annie Russell was the star. In one Of
the scenes Charles Richman had to
take Mrs. Gilbert in his hands and lift
her from her feet with a burst Of
boisterous happiness. One day the
rest Of the cast, who were waiting in
the wings to come on, noticed that
after the tossing Mrs. Gilbert, then
eighty years old and always a most
scrupulous artist, was shaking with
merriment--in which Mr. Richman
presently Joined. The audience be-
| came Sullen and then angry.
Miss Russell, who is also a scrupu-
| lous artist and stage manager, was
annoyed. But when her cue came, and
| she went on, those who remained be-
| hind were amazed to see her join the
general hilarity. AS Mrs. BloodgoOd
tells the story, she felt deeply dis
| tressed at all this unprofessional lev
| ity, and she was heroically resolved,
as she says, to pull the scene together.
But when she went on she burst out
laughing before she could speak line.
In tossing Mrs. Gilbert in the air,
Mr.. Richman had dislodged three puff
curls from her temple. Whenever any
one looked at the dear old head the
effect was convulsing, and if he let his
glance drop to the stage-there was
the puff curl. The act curtain rang
down amid general smoker, and with
the audience furious. Miss Russell was
in despair. 1t was quite impossible to
make a speech explaining how it hap
pened that there had been wigs on the
green.

THE CINDER IN THE EYE.
One Who Gets it Out Must First Ex-
ercise Self-Control.

One Who Gets it Out Must First Ex-
ercise SeIf-ControI.
By cinder we mean any minute par
ticle of whatever nature which lodges
in the eye, where it causes much pain
and distress.
In most cases when foreign body
gets into the eye, it creates little
discomfort for time, but is soon
washed away by the tears without do
ing any harm. Sometimes, especially
when the particle has sharp corners
to it, as is often the case with the
fine cinders from locomotive which
burns soft coal, the conjunction is
cut and the body becomes firmly
lodged in it, and all natures simple
efforts to rmove it are Intellectual.
Man then tries to come to natures
assistance, and often makes bad very
much worse.
The sufferer winks the eye, rubs it
with his finger perhaps inserts an
eyestone, and does whatever else he
can think of to drive the particle
deeper into the conjunctive and ex-
causes swelling of the conjunctive i'm
mediately surrounding the offending
particle, with the result that the
foreign body becomes firmly embed
ed, and can be removed only by the
little needle or knife of the occuhst;
or else it loosens itself by exciting
an liberation of the cornea, and this
liberation, when healed, leaves be-
hin dit minute white scar. Lucky
is the man if this scar speck is at
one side, and not directly in front Of
the pupil.
One who gets a cinder in the eye
must first of all exercise self-contrOl.
He must not rub the eye. He may
take a glass of clean water, throw in
a pinch of salt, then put the head
down so that the eye is in the water
and wink several times rapidly. If
this does no good, the particle can
sometimes be dislodged by taking
hold of the lashes and drawing the
upper lid down over the lower, and
letting it slide back into place.
II the speck can be seen on look
ing into the mirror it may often be
removed by the tip of a cone made
by folding the handkerchief several
time. Sometimes a friend can see the
speck by looking into the eye with a
magnifying glass, and can remove it
by gently touching it with the hand
kerchief cone.
This is all any one should attempt,
and if these gentle efforts fail to dis
lodge the cinder, no time should be
lost in seeking the help of physician,
who may take it away before infiam-
nation or liberation comes to COM
plicate the accident.

PLAYERS OF A PLAY.

We are the players of play
AS old as earth,
Between the wings of night and day,
With tears and ERtrth.
There is no record of the land
From whence 1t came,
No legend Of the playwright's hand,
No bruited fame,
OF those who for the piece were cast
On that first night,
When God drew up His curtain vast
And there was light.
Beore our eyes as we come on.
From age to age,
Flare up the footlights of the dawn
On this round stage
In front, unknown, beyond the glare
Vague shadows loom;
And sounds like muttering winds are
there
Forehoding doom.

Champion Horse Thief.

A horse thief recently stole a car
load of mules and one horse from the
ranch of Jess Robertson, near Loco,
drove them single-handed along coun-
try roads several miles to Waurika
and shipped them over the Rock ISL
and Railroad to Fort Worth, Tex. The
thief sold the mules there and sue
ceeded in getting away before the
theft was discovered. This is the
most daring piece of horse stealing
that has come to the notice of the au-
thorities in Indian Territory in recent
years, and the officers are willing to
accord the man who did the work the
distinction of being the champion
horse thief of the Southwest.-Kan-

ILLEGAL FISHING BY CHILDREN

Game Wardens Get 1000 Set Lines
in Peyvaukee.
Deputy State game wardens from
Madison, Milwaukee and Waukesha
made a raid on the Lake Pewaukee fish
erymen and captured more than 1000 set
lines. No arrests were made, however,
because the majority of the persons fish
ing were school children, who, not know
ing of change in the winter fishing
law, were using five set lines the same
as had been allowed last winter. The
game wardens warned all fishing with
five lines that they may only catch
rough fish with set lines. In this part
OF the State pickerel is considered a
rough" fish, the same as the German
carp, dogfsh and the like. Black bass
and pike are not to be caught with
set line and $50 fine is levied for each
pike or bass. The perch fishing is ex-
cellent and a large lumber of fishermen
from Milwaukee are out enjoying the
sport.
