BEAR OLD AGE WELL.
Great Players Who Have Trod Boards
for Many Years.

Annie Yeamans, who has been upon
the stage for 81 years, has just left it
for good. The last part she played
was that of a grande dame in THE
Hurdy Gurdy Girl" musical comedy
by Richard Carle, who was not born
at the time that Mrs. Yeamans went
upon the stage.
Joseph Jefferson's span of years
touched both the theater of to-day and
the theater Of the time of Edwin For
rest and Macready. Henry Irving,
whose life was highly nervous one
and who did a tremendous amount of
work, lived much longer in the eXcit-
ing air of the theatcr than, according
to some of his medical friends. it
would be possible for him to have
lived in a quieter atmosphere.
There was revived the other day the
romantic society drama (how strange
ly that descriptive phrase falls upon
modern ears) "Jim the Penman."
People who went to see it called 1t
mn old timer, but the man who created
the part Of Capt. Redwood, the detec-
tive with the English accent and the
habit of falling asleep all over the
place. was f. M. Holland who is still
acting. Although some plays have
survived generation after generation
of actors, there are, on the other
hand. countless actors who haxe sur.
vived countless plays,
Richard Mansfield was, compare.
lively speaking, a young man at the
time of his death, and in this he diff
fered from most of the other great
actors. COlley Cibber lived till he
became senile. David Garrrick passed
the last years of his life in sylvan
retreat with his wife, who never found
her life long enough to permit ler to
master the English language.

A Petition For Grandma.

The little girl was very fond OF
pleasant days and ut the close Of a
heavy rainstorm petitioned in her
prayer for fine weather. When tho
next morning the sun shone bright and
clear she became jubilant and told her
prayer TO her grandmother. who said:
"Well. dear, why can't you pray TO-
night that it may be warmer tomor-
row, so grandma's rheumatism will be
bctterT'
"All right. ] will" was the quick
response. and that night rs she knet
she made this request in her prayer,

grandma."-Woman's Home Compan-

MANsFiELD's cAS PURCHASE.
Actor Bought Coach Built for Presi
dent of Road.

The story of Mr.. Mansfield's pur.
chase of the fine private car he had
used for some time previous to his
death never has been told. Until
three years ago he had been hauled
around the country in car not in
keeping with the gate receipts. He
yearned for gaudier rolling stock, but
never found the. opportunity to go
shopping for it..
While playing in Cincinnati his car
was hauled every night out to Fern
back, suburb. One evening he
called at the station for his car. in
company with Clarence Horton, an
assistant general passenger agent Of
the Big -Four, and on the siding he be.
held magnificent new private car
that made his look like an abandoned
caboose. He asked permission to in.
spect it, and Horton conducted him
through It.
I've been looking for just such n
car said Mr.. Mansfield, I'D like TO
buy this one"
Don't think it's for sale explained
HORTON. me car is new ana just ar
rived 1t belongs to MIR, NJ. II. ingalls,,
president of the road, and he has not
yet ridden in it,
See if you can't buy it for me" !"
asked Mr. Mansfield
Mr.. ingalls, put what he believed to
be prohibitive price on the car
$4,000.
And that must be paid on the
spot he added, with wink.
Horton reported this conversation
to Mr., Mansfield, and the latter, with
out comment, wrote his check for the
amount. He left Cincinnati in the
new car.

The Voice From Outside.

The preacher had sent his colored
man Of all work. Pete. TO n butcher
whose name was Paul for beef with
the promise that ha would pay later
This was late Saturday night. and
Pete forgot to report until the next
day. AS he nearcd the parsonage,
which, by the way, was next door TO
the church, he heard the minister
preaching in his pulpit. Just as Pete
arrived in front of the church the
minister shouted. quoting from his
text, "And what did Paul sayT Pete.

replied with an equally loud shout,
"IIe say you don't get no mo- beef till

"But to turn 10 another phase Of

materlalistic progress have given the
Orient implements Of destruction.

with apparently good grace Then he
quietly prepared to punish Russia as
