many nights in deep thought to the,
question of my makeup.
Il thought it all out, how those poor
ThrumS weaver women were nearly
half starved and suffering from the
effects of the strike undertaken by their
husbands. I made a most elaborate
makeup to represent the haggard andi
drawn countenance Of just such a wO-
man, and 1 dressed myself I'm fairly
ragged clothes. leaving my shoes un-
laced and trying in every way to
achieve a proper conception of the
character I was about to play. even in
the obscurity of the mob. One might
have thought 1 was to have been the
leading lady herself, so much pains did
[ give to what might have proved a
case of loves labor lost. The irony of
fate might have left me buried in that
mob, unWept, unhOnOred and unsung.
But il so happened that most of the
young girl pupils enlisted for this mob
scene were 50 anxious TO retain their
prettiness that they came on with no
real preparation at all, wearing the
ragged costumes, to be sure, but with
their faces as dOll-like as ever, and
with French heels to their dainty
shoes. / remember that Manager
FrancOuer sent several of them off the
scene post-haste, while I found myself

"RaiIroad Jack"

The question has often been asked,
Why is Railroad Jack" so popular
with the patrons of the theatre? One
word will answer that-"Realism." The
characters arc natural, in fact, studies
from real life. The story is interesting;
the scenes and incidents are realistic.
The great trouble with many of the
plays of today is too much stageism
and not enough naturalness. n."Rail-

GERoNIMo,s RELIGION

Geronimo says the Apaches taught
that the Great Spirit did not interest
himself an the petty quarrels OF men
and that warriors should seek their own
revenge. When he was twenty years
of age MeXicans murdered his young
wife and three children in a defenseless
camp. In a raid for revenge he led a
party that exterminated the Mexicans
and he was elected chief OF the tribe. He
then began a career Of blood and piIlage
that extended over forty eventful years.
He expressed MS contempt for the Span
iards when at the close of the Spanish
American war he dryly observed that II
took the United States smaller number
Of weeks to whip Spain than the number
OF years required to subdue him and his
small band of savages

WASHINGTON GETS
BACK At BOSTON
Demands Waiver Price for
Schlafly and Hille-
brand.

Washington again broke into the
baseball political limelight yesterday
afternoon by playing a peculiar trick
on the Boston American League team.
The trick consisted In compelling Bos-
ton to pay the waiver price. $1,000 each.

ington recently asked waivers upon
these, and Boston refused. Schlafy Is
the second baseman who, Cantillon de-

Princeton star who refuses TO play any
where except In Pittsburg, and recently
declined to play even there.

cred that Boston was acting out OF mali
cious revenge IN refusing waivers on
them because Washington recently de-
clined 10 waive on Grinshaw. whom
Washington could use at FIRST base.
Hence il was suddenly decided 20 make
Boston pay $1,000 each for two players
