Clara Morris is one of the few
actresses who remain to US from that
period of American drama which
might be called classic. AS queen of
the stage for a long period, she had
opportunity to meet and associate
closely with people not only of the
stage. but of all walks of life. 1t is
this phase of her experience that gives
a special value to her volume OF
"reminiscences just brought out under
the title of THE Life of STAR as
sequel to, or more correctly a compile
ton of, her former book, Life on the
Stage" Miss Morris is quite as much
a born story teller as a born actress;
and into these stories she has put
movement, drama and pathos, just as
she put them into her acting. The
pictures she draws of the personalities
of the stage in her time, such as
Rachel for example, and Of unpromis-
ing people of politics. GARFIELD, Nc
Kinley and the like, are vivid, sympa-
thetic and really unforgetable. Little
incidents out of her own experience
she relates with infinite humor and
gustO.

CHILDREN ARE BARRED.
o. II. & y. Company Issues Orders
Against Children Living In "Outfit''
Cars on the Road,

BY a recent order issued from the
offices of the O. X. & n. company,
children are forbidden to live in "out-
fit or boarding cars WI ich are kept
on the road for the accommodation
of crews of workmen.
Heretofore families have lived in
the cars and children have been
born and raised in these migratory
homes, but the danger is so great that
the company has decided to prohibit
the practice in future. Many families
make a business of boarding crews of
laborers employed on bridges and
building, fences, track word and other
kinds of labor along the lines but
hereafter the children must be kept
off the trains.
The o. r. e. n. has been particular
ly fortunate in handling outfit cars
and although many accidents have
happened to outfits i'm which people
We're living, no one has ever been
killed in such accidents.
