of tights on the, stage, he would fee: T.,

not very fond of this glass Of stage ri.

modesty, she says, butt %, account n, +,
discomfort. ~,
"Of course, like such plays, and 81
parts of plays as allow me tes,wear -,

Wausau wis )paper, "as any woman
delights in pretty and shiny gowns,
But display of limbs in tights is a
part of stage life, and is wholly upon
the stage, so We all look upon it the
same as wearing decollete gown
Whenever my part of cast calls for
lights wear them without protest but
they are very uncomfortable.
Miss Simpson explained this by say
ing that to fit properly and not to
have their appearance spoiled by
Wrinkling, the tights had to fit eX-
cessively close, and the pressure OF
the whole garment drawn thus tight
ly made it very uncomfortable. And
then one has to stand so much, as
tights will soon lose their shape if
one sits down or knees much.
That is how Miss Simpson locks at
the tights question. Her aversion to
the garment does not entirely agree
with Mr.. Hughes, as she sand: "As
for mudesty. short skirts, with guam
tlty of pretty lingerie, may be made
much more suggestive to those who
wish to take it 50, than tights ever
could That is why short sklrted
chorus makes bigger hit with the
front rows than a chorus IN tights
Miss Simpson IS noted as being
one of the best looking women in
tights, now on the stage.

WEATHER PROPHECY IN CACTUS
CENTER

We are peaceful here in Cactus, and we
do not kick or carp.
But we've had heap of trouble with a
scienced weather sharp;
He was sent here by the gov'ment, with
his charts and wind machine
And a diagram for tellin' when the rain
is wet or mean.
We'd depended on Unk Peters 10 these
long and many years
Fer a-prophesyin' weather-so when
this here sharp appears
And some competition enters, we rules
thus in the case
The prophet who come nearest is the
one who holds the place.
Well, the first day Uncle Sans man
says twas sure to rain bit
And old Uncle Pete says sunshine-and
Pete's guessin' made the hit;
But the second day Pete lost out, which
made the score tie,
And twas science 'gainst the goosebone
when the third guess time drew
nigh.
The weather sharp was anxious, and he
figgered mighty clost
And he didn't sneer at uncle. nor he
didn't laugh nor boast;
He guessed fair and warmer, and old
uncle says twill blow
And sure enough a norther put us two
feet under snow
So we chased the man of science 'crost
the prairie forty mile,
His wind machine we're usin' for a
gamblin' wheel awhile;
And our old-time weather prophet is the
sort that seems to win
Cause the weather's been delightful,
now that science don't butt In.

cient time was probably in very great
need of Pliny's specifics for the preser-
walton of the voice, for the reason that
he was expected to declaim out of doors
and to great multitudes. The ancients,
besides having magnificent buildings
statues and the like, had cumbersome
chariots, and 1t might be asked whether
our ideal means of conveyanee-the
steam and electric cars and the auto
mobile-do not show the same i'm
proyement over the ancient chariot. as
do our methods of theatrical repre-
sentation?
AS to the age of Shakespeare, it can
not be denied that the Elizabethan dra-
matist excelled all other dramatists be-
fore or since as the arc light does the
tallow dip or the Parthenon OF Greece
does an American court house. we
know precious little, however, as to the
acting of Shakespeare's time. Only the
names of a few players, all OF Whom
were men, such as Burbage and Taylor,
are known to our time The art OF
lighting had not been yet dreamed OF
and the stage settings were of the most
meager variety. Sir Philip sidney dld
not consider that this time was the
golden age" for he wrote describing
the state of the drama and the stage III
his time. "Now you shall see ladies'
walk to gather flowers, and then we
must believe the stage to be a garden.
BY and by we hear news OF a snip
wreck in the same place; then we are
to blame if we do not accept it for a
rock Upon the back of that comes out
hideous monster with fire and smoke;
then the miserable beholders are bound
to take it for a cave, while in the
meantime two armies fly in, repre-
sented with four swords and bucklers,
and then what hard hearts will not re-
ceive it for pitched battle?"
Surely this was not the golden age"
Garrick's time has long been popu-
larly referred to as the golden age, "
but for what special reason 1t would be
difficult to understand. Garrick was
undoubtedly very greatsactor, as were
others of his time; but If anybody
wants to learn to what a low state the
theater of that time had fallen let him
read Churchills "Rosciad," and then if
the golden glow of the golden age" is
still upon him take down the writings

Samuel Rogers famous epigram,

BLOW FOR THE INSPECTOR.
chInaman Was Different from Any no
Had Had Dealings With.

When former Minister WI Ting
Fang left this country he was accom-
panied by an extensive retinue and at
tended to the steamer by delegation
Of local Chinese merchants.
The customs oficials. who then were
also immigration inspectors. carefully
took the names and count OF the local
Chinese as they went on board. This
precauuon was to prevent some de-
ported or otherwise not welcome celes'
tial from efiecting landing by Joining
the merchants as they came ashore
after taking q ceremonious farewell
Of their distinguished countryman.
Half an hour or 80 after WI and his
friends had gone on board one Of Wu's
secretaries arrived on the dock and
was hurrying up the gangplank when
customs inspector seized him by
the arm and pulled him back on tho
wharf.
"Washamalla you. John. no takee
name. you no can come back. Who
you belong" said the inspector. smil-
ing at some girls with whom he had
been talking.
The Chinese shook loose the inspec-
tors hold on the loose sleeve Of his silk
robe and with quiet dignity remarked:
This violence is unnecessary. sir.
and my name is a matter of no inter-
est to you. am a member Of his ex-
cellency's suite. l 60 on board this
steamer to leave this country. never
