SLEPT IN THE JAIL.
Town Policeman Provides Accommo-
dation for Travelling Thespians.

Frederick Burton, the character ac
tor who plays Bub Hicks with the
eastern College Widow company. is
full of singular anecdotes. Here is
one OF them:
I've only been in Jail once since
becoming an actor. 1t happened in
small town in Illinois. | was playing
the rube town marshal with rube
show. However, | would have you
know that it wasn't my performance
of the character nor the character of
my performance that sent me to jail,
but rather because we were unfortu-
nate in reaching town when the hotel
and all the boarding houses were
crowded.
I'VE arrived from Chicago late I'm
the afternoon very tired and hungry
and found the entire police force at
the station to meet us. We knew it
was the police force. because he
showed us his badge.
1.-The towns chuck full and guess
you uns'll find no place to put up"
said the police force.
Notwithstanding this discouraging
information, We proceeded to the Roy
al Palace hotel and, after much per.
suasive talk and the presentation OF
a few passes to the theater our man.
ager succeeded in having cots placed
in the parlor for the ladies. Being
unable to secure accommodations for
the men, we went to the op'ry house
that evening not knowing where We
would make our bed.
After the performance the police
force suggested that we sleep in the
calaboose. We accepted his kind invi-
tation. The ladies went to their cots
and the actors went to jail

De Angels Protests.

Jefferson De Angels has a griev-
ance. 1t is not against the public, of
whom most actors complain but his
grievance is mainly with authors. He
does not think that the author gets
the fair share of condemnation when
things go wrong. Things will go
wrong in the theatrical business once
in a while in spite OF everything.
AN actor cannot be funny" said
Mr.. De Angels recently, unless the
author gives him a chance to be by
supplying him with either humorous
lines or situations. Sometimes a
humorous situation will make just as
good hit as funny line. | remem-
Der the case OF an actor who made a
big hit in play by not knowing
which OF two hats to pick up. He did
not have word to say, but the audi
ence could easily see that If he picked
up the wrong hat. and they both
looked just alike, he would get him
self into no end of a scrape and com.
promise the heroine. That, of course,
is the easiest way an actor can be
funny. 1t is what we call on the
stage fat

THE ONE GREAT QUESTION.
Whether Tariff Disturbance Will Be
Better Than Tariff Stability.

The tariff is. let rs all cheerfully
admit. imperfect 1t is, in spcts,
worthy of immediate revision So
much is generally believed by all pro-
tectionists, we imagine. Then comes
the added question whether, in view
OF the gravity of the business, the
time is ripe? Even granting that in
ground for immediate changes in Sec
tions of the tariff law that produce
considerable hardship does it neces-
sarily follow that the net benefit to be
derived from the remedy applied at
once is sufficiently commanding to
overbalance the possibilities of seri-
Gus general harm? Apparently Mr.
Roosevelt thinks that this is far from
established, while Gov. Guild is con-
vinced th1t 1t is. Probably We all re-
alize hy this time that every revision
of the tariff must of necessity beget
great disquiet and unrest, not to say
apprehension, all along the line. These
and their effects on the general we'll
being are so far-reaching that they are
not lightly to be entered into, but only
to be endured for a season because of
the proved desirability of the ultimate
outcome. Is that outcome so certainly
beneficial in the net result at this time
as to warrant us in taking this most
unruly bull Immediately by the horns?
1t is over this that many of us hest
tate. We are far from believing that
the Dingley schedules are sacred for
all time. We are far from preaching
any gospel of standpattism radically
interpreted. The one question is
whether the evils that We have are
so intolerable that We should endeavor
to shake them off, even at the risk of
the stock evils that will always be-
set tariff revision? If they are, then
Gov. Guild is right. But the trouble
is that the president seems not yet
fully convinced of it, and that a great
many other wise leaders of party
councils are not yet convinced of it,
to the extent that Gov. Guild is. Do
We even know for fact that the ma
jority of Massachusetts Republicans
are convinced of it, in view Of the cir
cumstances that the most of the tar
if revision support comes from very
unorthodox protective sources, such
as the mugwump newspapers and
mugwump orators ?-Lowell Citizen.

BELASCo'S CHERISHED GEM.
He Possesses Black Pearl Presented
to Him by Adelaide Nelson.

Here is an interesting anecdote of
David Belasco:
David Belasco carries a pocketful Of
mascots That which he most prizes
he trusts to no uncertain receptacle.
1t remains among the precious things
Of romance and tradition to be Be-
lasco heirloom unto many generations.
1t is black pearl pin given him by
Adelaide Nelson. E
The manager was a slender boy with
big, wistful eyes and pensive, haunt
ing personality. In his humble ca
pacity in the theater where she was
playing in San Francisco he attracted
manager he performed for her some
slight services, which the great Juliet
wished to reward with parting gift
Calling him to her dressing room on
the day she was leaving the city, she
spread her jewels before him and with
an Indifferent wave of the hands said:
You have been very kind to me. Take
one Of these and when you look at it
remember that one actress was CRATE
full"
The boy, David Belasco, looked at
the flashing diamonds that lay in a
prodigal heap upon her dressing table.
To take one Of them would be to ac-
cept fortune. He looked beyond to
simple black pearl pin in a rusty
setting. Il will take that" he said.
Surprised at her silence, he glanced
up at her face and saw that it was
swept by some great emotion.
"Why do you choose that" she
asked

thought | should like it,
Take this instead" and she thrust
a diamond pin into his hand
He went to the train with her and
she said as she boarded it at Oakland,

From Virginia City. New. she wrote
and inclosed the black pearl pin.

though if | part with it something

COURT TRIALS OF ANIMALS.
IN olden Times They Were Arraigned
Before Justices.

The decision of the southwestern
police court (London) magistrate that
a monkey may use the pavement If
he causes no obstruction, reminds us
that, down to a comparatively late pc
ROD on the continent, the lower ami
poai- were considered amenable to the
Laws. Domestic animals were tried
in the common criminal courts; wild
animals fell under ecclesiastical ju-
risdictiOn. French antiQuaries have
discovered the records u 92 proc
esses against animals, conducted with
the strictest formalties of justice.
from 1920 to 1740, when the last trial
and execution, that of COW, took
place. Thus, there was a lawsuit
that lasted from 1445 to 1887 between
the inhabitants of st. Julien and
kind of beetle, and at Lavigny, in
145T, a SOW and her six young ones
were tried on a charge of having muir
dered and partly eaten a child. The
SOW was found guilty and condemned
to death, but the little pigs were ac-
quilted on account of their youth. the
bad example Of their mother, and the
absence of direct proof against them.

ROOMS FOR THE CHILDREN.
Apartments for Them Should BE Made
Very Attractive.

II is most desirable that the child
from the first should have a room of
his own, where he can play without
hurting things. Formerly the least
desirable room in the house was al
ways set aside for the nursery, and
furniture which was not wanted any
where else in the house was put into
it. Nowadays in the best homes the
nursery is the most carefully planned
room in the house. 1t should always
have sunlight, for the sun vitalizes the
air and kills germs. The windows
should always be open, for ventilation
prevents disease. To keep out dust
stretch cheesecloth over the netting.
and to prevent draughts have ven
of the window.
Have small furniture with rounded
corners. Imagine our discontinue IL
we were obliged to live among furni-
ture designed for the use of giants
IL feet tall. Have no unwashable
curtains or draperies. Keep the room
simple.
III Il mllllOndlre nome In new fOTh
the nursery had tiled walls, and on
each tile is painted a scene from
Mother Goose" 1t is enough to
weary and distress the mind of any
child. The tiles are beautiful for
hygiene, but very expensive. Leave
the walls bare, tinted in some plain,
delicate shade, perhaps. Have few
pictures which are truly artistic, for
the child's taste for the good in art
can be trained from the very first. 1t
is a curious thing that little children
often choose copies Of the MadOnnas
of Raphael and Murillo in preference
to pictures of child life.
A very small child takes great COM
fort with a nest of blocks, all of which
he can put inside the largest one and
then take out again. Children love
a plaything which can be taken to
pieces and put together again, horse
that can be harnessed and unharness-
ed, a doll that can be dressed and I'm.

For Brittle Nails.

Where the nails are brittle soak
them every night in little warm
olive oil; let 1t soak in and then rub
on vaseline, which is one of the best
applications to make the nails nice. 1t
softens the cuticle around the base
so it can be pushed back and the half
moons" perfectly shown.
A nail brush should be medium,
bristles neither too stiff nor too soft;
if it is used every time the hands are
washed there will be no need for the
usual digging" under the nails with
sharp instrument. A blunt pointed
orange wood stick is the best, but a
bit of soft old linen used on one hand
with the nails of the other should be
sufficient. 1t is the use of hard steel
points on the nails, under and around
them, that makes them all the harder
to keep clean because they are rough
ened. AS little polishing powder
should be used as possible; it has the
effect OF making the nails thin and
brittle.

FOR BLACK BEAN SOUP.
One of the Best and Most Nourishing
of Dishes.

Wash one pint Of the black or tur-
and let them soak over night. In the
morning put in the soup kettle over
the fire, adding five quarts cold water,
half pound Of salt pork cut in fine
pieces and quarter pound lean,
fresh beef. Cover closely and cook
over moderate fire for an hour. Chop
fine one carrot, one small turnip and
two small onions. Add to the other
ingredients and continue the cooking
two or three hours longer. Half an
hour before serving season with salt,
pepper, tiny pinch of mace and a lit
tie ground Glove. Strain through
colander, then add half gill sherry
OF port. Have ready in hot tureen
three or four hard-boiled eggs sliced
and one lemon cut in thin pieces.
Pour the soup over chem and serve
with croutons. which are simply little
cubes of bread toasted to a golden
brown in the oven. After cutting the
bread spread on pie tins and watch
closely, shaking the tin from time to
time until all the pieces are evenly
colored Kept in glass cans these
croutons may be made ahead, as you
have a few slices of stale bread, and
are then always ready for immediate
use. Sometimes very small sausages
are boiled for ten minutes in this
soup and served one in each plate.

POWER is WITH FARMERS.
They Are in Position to Demand and
Compel a Square Deal.

The Rocky Mountain News sounds
note of warning to those who flatter
themselves that they can retain the
benefits of protection for their own in.
dustries while Withholding protection
from the agricultural interests. The
warning is especially addressed to the
Sugar trust, which is accused of an in
clination to grab more than its share
of the profits OF beet sugar production
at the expense of the Colorado beet
growers. The News reminds Mr..
Havemeyer that the tariff on refined
sugar is in force by the consent of the
farmers of the United States, and that
that tariff. Hence he had better deal
fairly in the matter OF the farmers in
terest in sugar beet prices. The admo-
nintion may well apply to others than
Mr. Havemeyer. There are people
urging free trade in raw materials"
that are the farmers finished prod
nets: but with no idea of relinquishing
protection for their own finished prod
ucts. They foolishly imagine that they
can keep for themselves the protective
tariff shield against foreign competi-
ton and at the same time expose
American farmers to unrestricted COM
petition. 1t cannot be done. In the
matter Of votes the American farmers
hold the balance of power. They are
in a position to demand and compel a
square deal

Neither Necessary Nor Desirable.

Most Of the clamor for tariff remov
al which from time to time rises above
the din and roar of the industries of
the busiest people on the globe, comes
either from those who expect to profit
personally or politically by the
changes they urge. This clamor does
not come from the great body of the
farmers or miners, or from the men
of the mills or factories, who have by
far the greatest interest in protec-
tons results. 1t is assumed by a
certain class of statesmen" that peri
odical changes of the tariff must be
made, and that kind of popularity
awaits the leader who will anticipate
the coming of the next change-period
and will shout the longest and strong
est for its arrival. But in the opin-
ion of a very large majority of the
American people these periodical
changes are not necessary, and are
far from being desrable.-HanGock

The Texas cattle growers. as the

So are the Texas rice growers. so far
as rice is concerned. None of them
wants to meet competition with Mex
lean or Argentine cattle or with
Philippine rice. But they wouldn't
mind having the tariff lifted from
articles produced outside the state of
Texas. If that would open a foreign
market for their meats. That is the

Titania's Toast.

Cut some bread into very thin slices
and remove all the crusts; then but
ter the pieces lightly, and between
every two slices lay an extremely thin
shaving of the breast of a chicken.
Press the slices of bread firmly to-
gether, put them in the oven and
toast them until they are a delicate
brown. They should then be served
at once while they are very hot.
