Sioux Falls was dignified by a dot on
the map, when Solomon's wives and
his wisdom went unquestioned. Sam
uel summed up In a few sentences what
attributes made the true woman, as
Solomon. from wide experience and
manifold dealings with women, had
authorized. The same description can
be said to apply equally well to the true
woman of today:
THE heart of her husband doth safe
~ trust In her"
She will do him good and not evil
all the days OF her life.'
.She girdeth her loins with strength
and stretcheth out her hand to the
poor"
S h giveth aid to the needy
Her husband Is known within the
gates"
S h openeth her mouth with wisdom
and in her tongue is the law Of kind

lian,onc the stars. for there are far

lin this line must first Of all possess a
magnetism that betrays itself in avoice.'
| look. action, before she has been on
| the stage two minutes. She must be
alive and %pulsating with all that dis
tinguishes the woman OF power from
the dull inane woman who Is forgotten
the moment she is out of sight. That
mysterious something that reaches out
and takes hold of the hearts OF her lis
teners must be hers IL she Is to take
her place among those who achieve
success. =,
The next in Importance is physical
endurance, for no woman VINO mas not
vitality enough to more than drag
herself across the stage can properly
go through emotional scenes that rack
both body and nerves.
The voice can make or mar the sue

tones that are unpleasant to the ear

woman who possesses 1t must be great
Indeed to be able to charm in spite Of
It's EARRING notes.
The face must also be able to depict
emotion. It must be the canvas upon
which the lights and shadows that pic
ture feelings and thoughts are brown.
A smile no matter o fleeing must
tell a story in itself. while an express
zion thai turks in the eyes may be as
important as all the lines the play

The successful actress. the artist
who never fails to please, possesses all
of these qualities before she can be

PLAGUE SHIPS CREW
TELLS TALE OF HORROR
"ANCIENT MARINER" OUTDONE
IN GRUESOME EXPERIENCE
OF ILL-FATED BARQUE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 9.-This is
the tale of a horror ship. Yesterday
evening the Norwegian ship Prince
Roberts, 153 days from London, crept
through the Golden Gate, sails torn
with the gales that sweep around the
Horn, hull black with the reek of
the tropic sea, men weak from the
grasp of disease and toll.
A terrible tale is the yarn they
spin; tale of hardships almost I'M
bearable, of disease that made them
pray for death, of privation that
seemed like death itself, and of the
scourge that claimed the captain for
its prey.
From London to Cape Horn the
passage was ideal. The ship fol-
lowed down the South American
coast and reached the Horn in good
season. Here the first trouble be-
gan. Strong winds drove the ship
out of her course, exposing her to
more terrible gales.
A Titanic storm bore down upon
them, Selling them in its grasp, and
for days the crew fought to save their
lives. Working until weak from
WEAKNESS, the tempests forced them
back, tearing off their sails, sweeping
the deck with pillows. After four
teen days they rounded the Horn and
wallowed into the Pacific, with ship
and crew at the limit of endurance.
Then disease came. Beri-beri
crept into the ship and attacked the
crew, one after another. First the
second mate was singled out. He fell
one day at work, and as they carried
him below, the men glanced in hor-
ror at his swollen limbs and staring
eyes and felt glad to get on deck
again, in the free sea air.
And while they walked the man at
the wheel was lurching on his feet.
One by one the sai'irs fell dumb
with the horrible disease. In the
midst of his work a man would fall
and lie like a log upon the deck. Into
the doldrums with this load they
staggered. For days the ship lay in
the calm, while the sick festered in
the heat and the well moved slug
gishly about, fearful that the next
day would find them with the I'M
slightly sick below.
The captain sickened with the
spreading disease. The first mate
took charge of the battered ship, and
worked her with the few men left.
On August 81 the captain died, and
the day following they cast his swol-
len corpse over the side.
And yesterday there crept in
through the Golden Gate the Norwe-
gian ship Prince Roberts, 1873 days
out from London and 62 days out
from hell.
