They VIII Tread the Boards Wednes-
day Evening.

''Woodbarrow Farm will be present
ed by the Washburn Dramatic club at
the Crawford, Wednesday evening.
This is the fourth season of the Wash
burn Dramatic club and each year sees
q further claim to pretentiousness as
well as clevegness.e The club has busted
itself in the past with plays which
smacked of the colonial period but Is
year they have torn loose from these
mornings and are essaying a play which
is built and constructed about the hap
penings of today
Jerome K. Jerome, who is recognized
to be at the head of the English humor-
lists of today is the author of wood
barrow Farm As is to be expected the
scenes of the play are laid in England
with a rural lad from Devonshire who
is possessed of a large fortune and
equally IS large fund OF rural inno-
cence in the leading part. Jeromes
work is always of the etching type and
humor is all laid on with fine brush
The DeVonshire lad is Allen Rollitt, this
part is taken by Ralph Johnston who
acquitted himself very fayOrably indeed
last year He Is set upon by q gang of
sharpers who try to separate him from
his wealth To make this more COM
uIex Rollitt falls in lave with the daugh-
ter of one of the sharpers. When he
awakens to the true situation of af-
fairs he seeks solace in a former sweet
heart Miss Deacon. This part is taken
by Miss Nettte Zimmerman. The daugh-
ter of one Of the members of the gang
Of sharpers who f1irts with Rollitt is
Miss Daisy Neil, as Clara Dexter.
Miss I.u Grace Whitmer as Mrs. Roll
lit, the mother of the Devonshire youth.
Contributes a sprightly part. Miss Mabel
Renwick assumes the part of Rachael.
A amusing situation is created by the
secret marriage OF the daughter Of Col.
Jack Dexter, Omer Smith, to Luke
Cranbourne, a member of the set of men
who are trying to fleece young Rollitt.
John Van DeMark assumes the eharac-
ter part of Cranbourne.
THE remaining parts are vel taken.

 Satisfied exclaimed the girl. and she ran to the director and threw her arms about his neck. It was like her warms imnulsive nature.
 TO the poverty stricken girl of IT $90O year was a million.
 Following the Dresden operatic en- gagement comes the only time in her life that the singer never speaks of. She made foolish marriage with & i German afmy officer named Heink. Of grief, of bitterness, humiliation end despair Ernestine Heink drank her cup to the full. There was dire poverty, too, for her pay was not great In those days.

 Ten years MIne. Heink endured her unhappy life. Perhaps those purga- torfal years were what made her great souled and helpful and pitiful to .oth- CTS Wherever a particularly fine char aeter appears In this world we may be sure that bitter and supreme tests not a few went to the making of It.
 After ten years of unhappiness the singer divorced Heink and married Carl Schumann, taking the name of Schu- mann Heink. The Schumann marriage was an Ideally happy one. ended by the death of Schumann in 190A. A year afterward Echumann-Heinkm married her secretary, William Rapap. handsome young German American, devoted to to the prima donna, as everybody who knows her seems to be.
 One evening lately the Arion singing society of Paterson, N. J., gave a sur prise serenade to Mime. schumann- Heink at her Singac home. On that occasion she made & characteristic speech to the serenaders. She said;
 T am now a citizen of the United States, the greatest and best country the sun shines on, and am going to bring up all my sons tob good citizens of this country. I appreciate the honor and kindness that have been shown to me during my career abroad, but your coming here tonight makes me more than happy. This is my home now, and should like to show you all, the fine things have here. including six horses, two pigs, three cows, many chickens and two dogs. I love them all. and my American friends even better Eliza Archard Conner.

 Last spring accordingly, the schu- mann Heink progeny were packed up bag and baggage and brouhgt to their merry, enthusiastic mother hap py all through at the thought of it. Lately, talking on the perennIa1ly in- terestlng topic of her children, she said: s

By and by somebody suggest ed that she sang we'll enough to ap- pear in opera chorus. She borrowed some nsoney to take her to Vienna, had her voice tried, and--failed. She was shabbily dressed and frightened out of her wits, and that was why she failed She was broken hearted. Life seemed over for her. But about that time the great Materna heard her sing and gave her hope and inspiration again. Mater ma recommended her to the director of the Dresden Opera House; he sent for her; she made her debut as contralto m 1878.

bound to go to Uncle John. I don't be- lieve he'll turn me away"
 Somebody else thought 1t would be hard work to turn Peggy away upon Q leaden morning two weeks later as she sat in wait outside her rich uncle's pri- .vate office. He was not a real uncle
 only sort of step-brother. who had kept terms with his sister, although he had no patience with her easy-going husband. It was five years since he had been to the Lester farm-tl1us Peggy, grown up into blooming young womanhood, was wholly strange to him. She had not sent in her name. All her bravery had deserted her as soon as she stepped inside the glass doors Her cheeks burned under the glances of the men at work there. And still more at the looks she got from the other men, older ones, hurryihg in and out. She meant to wait until Uncle Joe ap- peared, then lay hold on him. and pre- fer her humble petition. Now yshe wished desperately that she had not come; it is a question, indeed, whether she would not have welcomed Johnny Magee and his love-making as deliv- erance, could he have happened upon her then and there.
 The minutes went leadenly--eacf one seemed an hour. Presently she heard twelve strokes of the clock. and saw men begin to straggle out, putting on greatcoats as they went. A grinning office boy said to her:
 If you ain't got a date with the boss," nodding towards the inner of- flee, better make one and come again. See" Then she heard a clerk say to an inquirer over the telephone: MT. Hedding. is out won't bs back till 8 o'clock.
 Are you sure? Peggy ventured, touching the mans arm lightly. He smiled and nodded. half insolently. Peggy turned from him. biting her lip. As she went blindly towards the door and very red-lipped, came from the in- ner office, started at sight of her. then hurried up to her. asking suavely how he might serve her. Inside Of a min ute he knew everything, and stood looking down and pulling his nous tache thoughtfully, but almost instant ly brightened, saying she must follow MT. Hedding, nothing easier, the boy should fetch cab, and he himself would give directions. Might he yen- ture to meet Mss Lester ?--delighte to serve a relative of his old d/friend Heding, between sentences he had been hurrying Peggy out and away15and at the last of them he was huddling her into waiting cab.
 Something happened then, just how Peggy never understood. A plain-faced young man, who had glanced at her pityinRly as she passed into the private office, somehow rose up from the pave- ment and sent The red-lipped gentle man away in something of panic.
 ."He's not 1t to speak to any decent girl" the deliverer explained, as he took Peggy hack to her place of waiting.
