JOKES OF ACTORS.
Franks on Comrades That Are Played
Before the Audience.

Practical jokes right in front Of
the audie.-ce are not unknown
among experienced actors. Care
mas to be taken that the business
Of the scene IS not interfered with,
or the stage manager would speedi-
Iy be camping on the trail of the
too enterprising hufnorist.
"a rather cruel but at the same
time very amusing joke was played
upon an unpopular member of a
Shakespearean repertoire company
with which l once toured" said q
veteran actor to the writer.
<'The unpopular one was playing
the ghost in Hamlet on this par
ticular night, and the scene was
managed in the old fashioned way

coming on from the wings, as mod

stage, and as soon as the victims

began to belabor his legs well with
a couple of stout canes.

on which the victim stood was turn

proper solemnity to the ghosts APP

the poor hummer to prevent the
anguish he suffered showing on his
face, which, of course, was in full

Worse, far worse, was the fate of
some unfortunate actors who in a
popular melodrama had to drink a
toast in (stage) champagne. In the
ordinary way ginger ale does duty
on the boards for that exhilarating
wine, but on this occasion some
fend in human form had filled the
bottle with parafin oil. eve dared

took part in this unusual festivity
to the writer afterward, but how
we finished that act not one of us
knows. /"
In a once popular drama the
leading actress, who was also the
proprietress of the "show," dropped
dead las usuaD at the end of the
third act one night and lay there in
full view of the audience waiting
for the fall of the curtain. But the
man who controlled the curtain re-

that the panic was wholly unius-

FOOD FOR SIN ANTONIO TO
THINK ON.

What has become of that pro-
7ected line of railway from San
Antonio to the Lower Rio Grande!
The enterprise is fraught with so
zznuch of beneficial interest that it
should not be lightly set aside. 1t
San Antonio is to receive the trade
naturally tributary to her, she must
sake steps, and early steps, to con-
meet herself by rail with the coun-
gry bordering on the Lower Rio
aSraude. Much of this trade has
aeeu lost to San Antonio through
che building of the Brownsville
road, and every days delay in eff
fecting direct rail COMMUNICATION
adds to that loss and extends the
area of territory slipping away
IRON her. Neither Galveston nor
Houston are asleep.-Texas Re
sRublic.
What the Republic says is very
arue. San Antonio is sleeping on
aer rights in not claiming the
Brownsville territory, which is fast
developing into one of the most pro-
eiuctive areas of the entire state.
San Antonio should shake up her
azossbacks and build that railroad
which Col. Lott has already pro-
Eected from there to Brownsville.

MANDAN
new BAND STAND
MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO BUILD
SECOND STAND IN WEST PART
OF MANDAN. .5,.

/ When will that new band stand be
built. It is reported that subscrip-
sion list has been passed around. How
ever, while putting up a new band
stand there is no reason why it should
be a claim shack affair but one that
would be credit to Mandan. There
is no doubt that if stand of size and
beauty was built that W. S. Barrows
would donate seventy-five or a hundred
dollars. AS the w. H. Brown Land
Company are firm believers in Mandan
and its future and are always willing
to do their share towards its better
ment, they would probably donate
seventy five to hundred dollars for
the same landable purpose With
this as starter it would be an easy
matter to raise sufficient to put up
stand that would be worth from three
hundred and fifty to five hundred dol
lars and make us the envy of other en-
terprising towns. It is not the idea
to have the band concerts at the west
end of town, but to alternate with the
other end. As starter to make MAN

when a secretary for some Of our

are crowded from mail order houses,
but when business men or others send

it is not an admission that we cannot
