CAMPING OUT.

sWhen you catch me going into the
woods again with a party of men on a
vacation you will catch a Wease
asleep," said the hardware merchant
who had just told a female customer
that if she didn't like his w~ashboards
she could go to pot.
A minute later he had cooled off
enough to esume
There were six of US, and we ven
into the woods upstate with tents and
all equipments. We were to fish, hunt
and loaf. and so far as the other i've
went they looked to be strong, healthy
men. After a drive Of thirteen miles
right into nowhere, We came to a pud-
die called a lake and pitched our tents.
Three of the five were too exhausted
to help any, and the other two played
out as soon as the tents were up.
Then I discovered that rupture, weak
heart, rheumatism. prostra-
ton and consumption were the all
ments in camp.
IT had to gather and bring in all the
wood or we would have had no fires
I had to dc all the cooking or we
should have had nothing to eat. I had
to wash all the dishes or they would
have remained without washing. They
played it on me for fair. They hshed
and loafed and lied. and I nae to do all
the work. If any of them were called

A review Of the Outlook rebukes an

how constantly they are associated.

CHARGED FOR EXPERIENCE.

II started out in life with a firm
resolve to be honest" said the Boston
drummer, but now and hen I have
bumped UP against a situation that
shook my resolution.
Such a case happened while I was
at a village hotel called The Cyclone
House, and a been in bed about two
hours when I found myself carried
across the country in the midst of
boards. beams and furniture. A cy-
clone had come along and picked that
old house up and made matchwood Of
it. There were ten people killed and
up with a farmer for a week, and then
resumed business.
1T never occurred to me until a
month later that I ought to have set
tied my hotel bill before departing.
The landlord had been one of the
killed, and the town about wiped out,
but so heavily did the thing prey on
my conscience that I made a trip of a
hundred miles to square things. I
found the landlords widow, and she
was willing to take my word as to how
long 1 had been a guest when the cy-
clone swoOped down. I figured it up
and handed her the proper amount.
but she seemed to have something on
her mind. When I told her to speak
out, she said:
This settles the hotel bill all right,
but what about the experience?'
How do you q "a p"
why, hadn't there ought to be at
least a dollar more for your cyclone
experience?'
Il agreed with her. and handed her
the greenback, but the more I think
OF 1t the more I am Inclined to believe
that 1t was pushing ar honest man a
little bit too hard."-M. Quad.

The Hand That Rules the Stage.

The largest theatrical agency in this
country and probably in the world. is
curiously enough, run by a woman.
Her offices are just off Broadway. and
she has the proud distinction of know
ing more actors and actresses than any
living mortal. Her outer rooms are
forever filled by white-coated SOU
brettes, lank heavy" men. English
tenors in tweeds. round, sm~ooth-faced
comedians, and g~Ood-l0oking young
men in short blue a who will play
anything from Juvenile leads to the
baFytone lover lieutenant in a comic
opera. AS a rule they all know each
other call each other by their first
were at an afternoon tea. To the cas-
ual visitor the object of their presence
might never be known II it were not
for the very conspicuous sign which is
evident from all quarters OF the room
your address. The agent
herself, who largely controls the des-
TIMES of the dramatic profession, sits
in a small office and ansWerS to the
general and genial name of mother"
In consideration of h fact that there
are some ten thousand actors in the
theatrical profession, not to mention
the many managers with whom she is
on equal terms of intimacy, her re-
sponsibtlities are large. She has seen
every play and every actor in the
country, and can tell 0 just about
what each player can do. Her list con-
tains every kind of artist, from a cne-
thousand dOllar-a-Week leading WO-
man to many hundred soubrettes Who
value their services at eighteen dollars.
She guarantees to supply any manager
with a complete company for any play
tragedy, comedy, farce, problem or
musical comedy-within t~wenty-four
hours after the order is given. A case
in point is that of a play which was
produced in New York on a Tuesday
night. The next day the manager
asked this agent to witness that nights
performance. On Thursday she was
asked to engage an entire company to
produce the play IN London. The cast
was completed the same evening, put
IN rehearsal on Friday and sailed Sat
