Too Short for Romeo.

1T is a great misfortune to seri-
Gus actor to be short" said James X.
Hack-t. "A short man must have a
shorter leading lady, or, if he valves
that privilege, he must. in his scenes
with her, see to it that, when the pair
draw near to one another she sits or
leans ON a table, or kneels on an Of
toman. while he stands very erect in
his high-heeled sho<s, thus creating
the illusion that he is rather tall.
But, with all that, short actor is
always at 8 disadvantage.
Il once knew an excellent tragedi-
an of five feet four inches who dared
to play Romeo with Juliet of six feet.
In Western town one night
Romeo as usual sighed:
ct would I were a glove upon that
hand!'
"A shrill voive called from the gal
lery:
eye wouldn't fit. Yer too SMALL =.

SCHOOL BONDS SELL
AT A GOOD PREMIUM


Nine offers for the Minneapolis
school bonds were submitted to the
council committee on ways and means
yesterday and after brief comparison
one was adopted. This was the pro-
posal Of Estabrook & Co., brokers of
Boston, who offered a premium of
1O403. On the total issue of 5000, 900
the premium will amount to $4,000. The
bid is somewhat better than was ex-
pected, as money is somewhat scarce
in the east and interest rates are high
Nevertheless, gilt-edged securities run
ming forty years and drawing 4 pei
cent interest are very attractive in
vestments for the conservative people
OF the nine bids, five offered a pre-
MUM better than l03 Among the
bidders were the Northwestern and the
German American National banks Of
Minneapolis and the Northwestern
Trust company of St. Paul, the Others
being Boston and Chicago brokers.
