NEW YORK, NOV. lS--The bleak
Noysmber winds are sweeping Broadway,
and cutting into the thin fall clothes OF
many a prominent actor and actress. as
he or she walks the length of all the dra'
matte agencies in quest Of positions that
will assure them sufficient money to fee
the, ianitor OF their departments to turn
on the steam for the winter. Truth is,
many splendid actor Is idle because OF
the unprecedented number OF outright
failures this season. Quite four out Of
five plays produced have been withdrawn
after two weeks. or are dragging ON
without patronage enough to pay for
the electric signs in front Of the play
house. For this reason many well known
players are turning their thoughts to-
wards the vaudeville theatres, where the
terrors of the two-a.day are forgotten
in the joy OF the prospect of continued
employment at three, or even four.
figured salary. The line between the
legitimate. and vaudeville Is now almost
as completely obliterated as the Mason,
and Dixon line which distinguished the
"rebels from the "yanks." Time was
when an actor felt little ashamed to
enter the ranks Of the vaudevillians, Civ.
ing as his apology for so doing. Il really
need the money! Now all that is
changed, and the question is rather
"Will the vaudeville hangers accept
ATei' For an actor must make good in
the two-a-day theatres. Shakespeare
tells us that "a good name is better than
riches" but in vaudeville good act Is
better than good name, and means
riches for the actor.
A few years ago many 4goh bricks"
were handed the patrons Of vaudeville.
Today an act must win out on its merit.
This is the reason why 50 many actors
from the legitimate stage fail in this
field-they think any old thing
will do for Keith and Proctors. As q
matter of fact. the audiences at these
conducted theatres are of the |
best types of New Workers. Percy
Williams Alhambra and Colonial are
family theatres Of the highest type,
where ii Is quite safe for wife to take
her husband. Clean, wholesome enter
tainment prevails at these houses, and
acts like W. H. Tompson, in 'For loves
Sweet Sake" and Robert Hilliard in
''The Man Who Won the POOL serious
as they are, have scored tremendous sue
eesses The managers of these houses
devote all their waking hours to study
ing how to please the tickle public. They
do not claim to give advanced vaude-
ville," for the simple reason that per-
feetion cannot be perfected, and in their
case vaudeville had already made such
strides that it could advance no further. |

Choice Lan qua ge

The number of obsolete words that are to be found in the com plete dictionary of the English language is considerably larger than the people have any idea of The following letter, written by an alleged poet to an editor who had treated his poetry with deris;on. furnishes some idea of them:
 "Sir-You have behaved like an impetigineus scrogle-like those who, envious of any moral celsi- tude, carry their unglicity to the heights of creating symposiacally y the fecund words which my poly mathic genius uses with uberty to abiigate the tongues of the weetless Sir, you have crassly parodled my own pet words, though they were trangamsl I will not coascervate reproaches 1 will oduce a veil  over the atramental ingratitude which has chamfered even my indiscerptible heart. I am silent on the focillation which my coadju- vancy must have given when l offered to become your fantor and adminicle. 1 will not speak of the lippitude, the oblepsy you have shown in exacerbating me. one whose genius you should have approached with mental discal ceation."

The Great BiSness of Texas

Texas is the biggest state in the Union-don't talk back to me; l know. The upper part of the Panhandle of Texas is, nearer to Chicago than it is to Galveston. Texas is as wide as the distance from Chicago to Boston, or from St. Louis to New York City. That is to say that from Texarkana to El Paso it is HOO miles. Texas has 3,000,000 folks, 1O,O00,OO0 cattle, 12,000,00O sheep and 3,000.000 horses. One horse, you see, for every man, woman and child in the state. People who have not seen the southwest during the past five years cannot by any description realize its progress. W That is known as the Santa Fe country" can feed the world. Six years ago you could buy in Texas 1000 sheep for $1 900. Now 1000 sheep will cost you $S,0OO. The real crop in Texas, however, is no! wool, but cotton. The cotton crop in Texas for the year 1906 was worth over $2O0,O0O,OOO in cold cash. They raise a bale of cotton on an acre, and a bale of cotton i> worth $60.
 Texas has the second most i'm portant shipping port in America and if things continue going as they have for the past five years. in ten years more the shipments from Galveston will exceed in value the combined exports of Boston and New Ebert Hubbard in the Philistine.

About the middle of Angus there will pass through this city two great tiocks of sheep of 20,00( each, en route to Flagstaff, Ariz. from the vicinity of Roswell The hocks left Roswell two weeks ago and they are now being driven 1T this direction.
 The first flock is in charge of II E. Campbell, of the firm of Camp bell, Francis & Co.,, of Flagstaff This flock is composed entirely ot breeding ewes and all are twelve pound shearers. The second flock which follows a day or two behind the first, has an equal number oi sheep, but they are all wethers The second flock is owned by Scott Brothers, of Arizona, and tLe destination is the same.
 To handle this great number oi animals on the long journey from Roswell to Flagstaff, distance ot about 400 miles, forty herders besides bosses, are needed.

WHOEVER the delegates to the irrigation congress from Arizona may be, they should work early and late 10 see that no action is taken by the congress antagonistic to national storage of water in Arizona. They should also press upon the attention of the congress the incontrovertable fact that an acre of reclaimed land in any part of Arizona, because of ideal climatic and soil conditions, will produce more in a year than will ten acres reclaimed land in the northern regions, hence homes can be made here for ten families for the same expenditure that it would take to provide home for one family in the less favored north-Florence Blade.

FREE FROM SHEEP SCABIES

The sheep sanitary board created by the last legislature has already demonstrated its usefulness on earth, through the one thing of making thorough the dipping of sheep to exterminate scabies. For two or three years this work has been carried on under the direction of the federal authorities, with the assistance of the territorial veteri- marian, but 1t was realized by the latter and by most of the progress ivr sheep men that the regulations were not quite stringent enough. They figured that if there was to be a general effort 10 rid the Ari- zona hocks of diseases of all kinds, the scabies being the principal one that bothered them, the work might
 just as well be done thoroughly. so they could hope to accomplish their purpose, and do for the sheep and sheep men, what has been done before for the cattle and cattlemen.
 The members of the sheep sani- tary commission are D. NJ. Francis of Flagstaff, chairman; James Scott of Pinedale, c. C. Hutchin- son of Seligman,. and J. c. Norton of Phoenix, the latter being the territorial veterinarian. The new board went to work vigorously and notified all the sheep men of the necessity of dipping their focks by July 25, appointing a competent corps of inspectors and otherwise preparing a campaign against the sheep sea abies, which a few years ago affected most of the focks.
 Inquiry of Dr. Norton gave the information that there were only a few focks seriously affected last spring and it was believed the disease would be entirely stamped out by a general dipping this sea son. It is learned now that every flock in the territory had been dipped by July 9, except three in Apache county, for which the proper arrangements are made though there was necessarily a | little delay and the work might not be finished until today. AL together it is pleasing situation and may be confidently announced that Arizona is now free from sheep scabies. If infection should appear in any quarter the sheep owners are under heavy penalty for not reporting it and when 1t is reported it will be promptly taken care of.

HOW ABOUT LINCOLN?


 elected president of the United States. It requires so much time and labor to become an orator, that when man has finally been successful in that endeavor, he Is not supposed to be fit for any other occupation. He is too magnetic, too poetical and sympathetic, too ethereal in his make up, to suit the hardheaded, practical men who control political events.-Bisbec Review.
 Among the immortal orations which will be acclaimed by the j Ac1erican schoolboys so long as time shall last is Lincoln's address at Gettysburg. Another is pass age in his second inaugural ad- dress. In the first he cut the ground from under the peerless orator of that generation, Edward Everett, who was the orator of the day, and whose polished production was forgotten long ago, while the matchless address of the great war president became instantly a liv- ing, breathing force that will never die; and in the second he struck the inmost heart of both north and south. And James A. Gar field, whose melancholy days ol November" speech in the Chicago convention of 1876 (described wittilv as lone word for Sherman and two for Garfeld'') gave him the nomination and landed him in the executive chair, was an orator of surpassing power and ability And John Quincy Adams, who has gone into history as "the Old Man Eloquent" was a great orator also Not only a great orator, but 8 great diplomatist, and great ir practical statesmanship. After serving his country with distinction both at home and abroad, and filling the full measure of the presidency he returned to a seat ir the house, where he faithfully served his constituents to the end filling the galleries with interested audiences whenever he took Il ( floor. And there the death ange. took him, making most dramatic his passing. While addressing the house, receiving the rapt attention of an assembled multitude, he wa: stricken by the icy hand of the fel destroyer. Tenderly he was lifted and carried into an antechambel and there laid upon a couch, where with single sentence that was ar oration in itself ("This is the las of earth; I am content.") he closed his eyes, and passed into the worlc beyond. Jefferson, Madison anC Monroe were orators of no mear merit, and Andrew Jackson coulC talk bit.
