TN my early stage career in California, l was
cast for a part in a melodrama that re-
quired technical skill as pianist to interpret
and so it was arranged to give the man in the
orchestra the work of furnishing the music
and l was provided with dummy piano to
play upon the stage
All went well until the second act, when the
musicians soul started wandering and he lost
himself in reverie, which well nigh proved fatal
to me. Everyone had left the stage and the
time for my exit had passed, but the music
continued.

Not yet" I replied significantly The
music was coming in floods. was delaying
the action OF the play, and knew it; but
what could l do? The voice from the wings
grew insistent. Everybody is off What's the
matter?"

sent maid in to my assistance, and between
paroxysns l exclaimed Stop that music

the scrap-book which occupies the place of
honor in my library is frayed and yellowed
ton newspaper of the late COS
This much-prized clipping was my first
press notice, and was published long before
went upon the stage, In the scare head of
the story are the thrilling and attractive lines,

withstanding the fact that he weighted
down with winter clothing and pair of long
legged gum boots, he SWAN to a stone wall
some distance away and got safely ashore.
He exhibited great pluck, and made no out
cry for assistance, although the water was
bitter cold and he was in danger of drowning.
He was fishing for smelt at the time, accident

pened to be cast in company of uncertain
backing few years ago, and through the
leniency of the sheriff from the last town we

Alas for shattered hopes and caustic criticism
Not only were we disappointed with a poor

However, l was completely cured of trying
realistic methods in my work ever after.

Patsey Kinney, the Veteran Horse
Trainer, Buried at Genoa Junction
There was little funeral out at
Genoa Junction on Monday afternoon

horsemen of Kenosha. It was the
funeral of Patsy Kinney, the well
known trainer, who died on saturday

videre. Kinney had been i'll for many
weeks with typhoid fever. In keep
ing with his last request number Of
the Kenosha sportsmen went to Bel
videre Monday and took charge of the
remains. Taking them ito Genoa
Junction they we're laid at rest by the
grave of his wife.
Kinney was in charge of the Ke-
nosha track during the early.Ipart of
the season and was taken i'll during
the races at Woodstock. He had
g aimed fame as trainer of fast

for more than quarter of century.

LAST OF THE YEAR
Kenosha Baseball Team Out.
classed by Sheboygan in
Final Came on Sunday
LAABS' ERROR PROVES FATAL

The baseball season in Kenosha
was closed on Sunday afternoon, when
the Kenosha team was defeated by a
score of 10 to 8. The game was one
of the poorest on the local field and
Wilson and the Sheboygan team
simply slaughtered Pulse and the
Kenosha players.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Kenosha team was wearing the last
year S suits of the Chicago White Sox,
the Sheboygan team had little trouble
defeating them. It was White Sox
crowd at the park, and when an
nouncement was made that the Sox
were far in the lead, the joy over the
victory of the Chicago team was so
great that the crowd paid little atten-
ton to the defeat of the Kenosha
boys. Labs error in the fifth inning
was largely the cause of the Kenosha
defeat. He had a nice chance for a
double, but he dropped the ball and
the whole team went to pieces and
aided with some good hits on the part
of the visitors, the Sheboygan team
soon put the game out of danger by
taking six runs in single inning.
Wilson was not in any way in
vincible and with anything like good
playing in the field, the Kenosha team
had chance to win. Errors, however,
came when they meant runs. In the
ninth inning Block knocked ball out
into the right garden and the fielder
played with it 50 long that Block
crossed the plate and was given
credit for home run.
The Kenosha team will go to Ra-
cine next Sunday to wind up the sea-
son on the Racine grounds. The score

Mrs. Harry Miller, Supposed to Be De-
meuted Found Walking in the Lake
Mrs. Harry Miller, woman forty
five years of age, residing on South
Park q enue was rescued from death
in the lake just after noon Sunday,
and she is now at the Kenosha
hospital suffering from the effects of
plunge in the cold water. The wo-
man had left her home on South Park
avenue just after ten o'clock Sunday
morning and had been walking along
the beach. It is thought that she
planned to commit suicide. Just after
noon she walked out into the lake,
but she was discovered by men along
the beach and they rushed to her
rescue and carried her to the home of
Nicholas Biennemann on Durkee ave-
nue..
DR.. j. r. Eastman was called to at
tend the woman and found that she
was suffering from hysteria. He
directed that she be removed to the
hospital.
Miller spent the better part of the
day searching for his wife and found
her at the hospital late in the after
noon. It is thought that the woman
will recover. She has declined to
make any statement in regard to her
actions, but it is stated that she had
been i'll for some time and it is feared
that her illness has affected her brain.
