Natural Traits Make Comedians.

Eddie FoyS face is funny. So are
Francis Wilson's legs. So is Frank
Daniels face and so are also the ges-
lures he makes with his short arms
Funny are the parti-colored stockings
that May Robson wears. Funny Is the
qGeer little voice that Katie Barry en-
ploys. Funny is John G. Slavin's
mouselike demeanor on the stage, and
as funny is De Wolfe Hopper's pom
derous burlesque dignity. Funny are
the limitations that go Nat Goodwin
gives, and none of them is funnier than
his imitation of himself.
There are a thousand ways of being
funny on the stage. The man that
finds a new way has his fortune made.
Dave Warfeld, who in THE Music
Master now is bringing both laughter
and tears, found that the way for him
to get a chance to be as funny on the
stage of the old Casino in New York
rs he wanted to be was for him to
make UP and go out and sell small
cakes of ice in the audience a a base
ball game between actors.
Eddie FOy always wears a funny
hat His gestures are part of his fine
technique. and he talks song so that
printed on the curtain. Lew Dock
stader is unctuous and oily. His
words are soft and his delivery is
smooth. He glides along with his COM
edy as though it were on rubber tires.
James Thornton, one of the funniest
men in vaudeville, yells his comedy at
the audience. Ezra Kendall talks fast,
but Charlie Case talks faster, and he
never waits for the audience to catch
up with him.
George Conan talks through his nose
on the stage not much more than he
does off, and he drawls. June McCree
drawls and the last word of each of
his sentences, like the first word of
each of Cohan's, is long drawn out.
Cecil Lean has the funniest teeth on
the stage. AS teeth they are perfect
singly and collectively, but they are
funny because Lean can smile so ex-
pansively and with such a show of gen
uine good feeling that he gets his audi
ence to smiling with him as broadly as
though he spoke some exceedingly
funny line, and in that measure his
teeth are a valuable asset to him
While Leans teeth are prominent.
Charlie Bigelow is prominent because
he has no hair. His head is as inno-
cent of hair as is a billiard ball. Yet
he has turned this condition to such
good account that now when anybody
thinks of him he thinks also of his
hairlessness. When he was with We
Der and Fields they made jokes about
his lack of hair such as Put on your
hat; you're half Naked" and the like.
but he gets a salary big enough to
compensate him for much of this.

Wanted His "Honey.o

How is this for nerve?
Thomas Jefferson tells this good
story: zone of my company had just
been married, and his wife was travel
ing with him. He had been telling her
for several days of a certain hotel at
which they were soon to stay, and at
which invariably served the most de-
icious honey he had ever tasted. Con-
sequently when they arrived and found
none on the dinner table, both were
annoyed.
See here said the actor, where's
my honey?'
THE waiter seemed at a loss for an
answer He stammered, hesitated, and
finally leaned forward and said in a
stage whisper: She don't work here
no more -
The above is sent in by Jefferson's
press agent. 1t is reproduced in this
column as a horrible example. Can
anyone say definitely whether it was
ten years before, or ten years after,
the flood incident that the story was
really sprung for the first time ~

garden of perennial shrubs and hot
houses filed with rare flowers. Here
and there in the grounds stand Greek
statues and old bronzes. A landscape
architect and his assistants are trans
planting trees and locating carved
stone bences where their occupants will

Even the servants are housed like
princes. Their quarters, near the cha

make up a respectable village. The
buildings form a great square, whose
inner courts are entered through Sc
ries of noble arches, moss-covered.
The whole estate gives a lasting i'm
preston of beauty, age and spacious
ness.
A queer old hamlet, that boasts one
street, struggles up to the chateau gate.
The gossips of this hamlet say that
Miss Gilman herself engaged the cha

the honor to know her, but was i'm
pressed by her perfect unconcern about
the cost of anything. So he ventured
to ask deferentially,- who would guar
antee this, that and the other expen-
diture she ordered.
Mr. William Ellis Corey, president
of the United States Steel corporation"
sho answered.
The gossips of the hamlet say, too,
they rarely see the new mistress of the
chateau. They add plainly, without
the slightest authority:
"She will be married in the spring
to the wealthy monsieur who has been
at the chateau for the last ten days.

MABELLH GILMAN IN LUXURY.
A Queen in an Old Chateau Once Own
ed by .IerOma ROnanarfa

Miss Mabelle Gilman is occupying
the Chateau Villegenisse, which Prince
Jerome Bonaparte formerly owned,
where he lived and where Napoleon
III. visited often. The estate is by far
the finest within fifty miles of Paris. 1t
is at La Verriere, about forty minutes
from Paris by railroad, celebrated for
it's magnificent forest, which reaches
nearly to Versailles.
At the chateau Miss Gilman is we'll
guarded from the curious. An i'm
mense wall surrounds the park, an
avenue, whose entrance is closed by
great iron gates, stretches from there
for half a mile to the chateau. Besides,
Miss Gilman is surrounded by a for
midable barrier of servants, not one or
whom will as much as take a card of
a visitor unless she has given orders
to admit him. Her colored maid from
America condescends to make this ex-
PLANTATION.
when we came here in September,
Miss Gilman game me this warning:
"'Here, as in Paris, no one is to be
admitted to me without my express Or
ders.'
Miss Gilman shuns newspaper men,

The chateau is a huge. square build
ing which is not attractive at the n
ment for it is being turned upside
down by some fifty workingmen, who
are restoring and repairing it. They
now occupy the whole front of the cha
teau.
The owners and other inhabitants
are living in the south and west wings,
parts of which have been made ready
for occupancy and are most richly fur
nished. Several apartments are fur
nished in antique oak, and the shape of
their windows, their stalls of carved
wood and their bronze candelabra,

cut broad, smooth roads, most inviting

as being a bizarre incident. The six
chatted in a subdued tone until the
play began. and then deliberately
turned to the stage and listened in alb
solute silence to the lines of the thes-
plans. Throughout the play they made
no demonstration except to quietly ap-
plaud the acting from time to time.
Such remarkable behavior naturally
upset tho audience and, as the mem
hers of the party wore conventional
evening dress and gowns, they were at
a loss for a satisfactory explanation of
the phenomenon. A rumor was passed
along the orchestra seats, however,
that the box party members were from
the rural districts and totally unfamil-
lar with the convenances of ultra-faSh-
ionable life. This explanation served
to close the incident and the audience
contemptuously dismissed the box
holders from further consideration.
AS the above was submitted by the
theater's press agent we are afraid the
incident never occurred.

and less habitable for the last 1000 or
5000 years.
Such change, embracing Persia,
Baluchistan, Afghanistan Russia IA
TurkeStan and Chinese Turkestan and
probably an even larger area and con-
verting thousands of square miles OF
habitable country into desert, can hard
ly fail to have had some effect upon
human distribution and history. In
Chinese Turkestan part at least of the
ancient towns appear to have been
abandoned deliberately, presumably be-
cause the water supply became limited.
Movements of the same sort are today
taking place on a small scale all over
the arid parts of Asia.
In 1904 500 Cossack nomads, with their
focks and herds, came to Lob Nor and
would have settled among the reeds Of
the lower Cherchen river if Chinese SOL
diers had not driven them out with
bloodshed. The nomads had come from
the Aital mountains, where pasture had
become too Scanty either because of in
creasing drouth or increasing popula-
ton or more probably both.
Such movements only need to be
magnified to cause invasions like those
of the dark ages. That they were mag
nifed in Turkestan when the Buddhist
towns were abandoned appears highly.
probable. The abandonment took place
in the early centuries of the Christian
era and for most of the time from that

Inhabited, even more so than today
Not only the inhabitants Of the towns

and dwellings, were formerly numerous

ARIDITY GROWING IN ASIA.
Failure of Water Supply Is Potent
Cause of MigratiOns.

The phenomena of rivers, large and
small, of springs, lakes, ruins and vege-
tation all seem to point to gradual des-
location of Chinese Turkestan for near
ly 1900 miles east and west and 500
north and south. The records of anti
guilty indicate that the Caspian and
Aral seas were once more extensive
than now and presumably that the
tributary rivers were much larger.
Trans-Caspia, eastern Persia and the
neighboring regions appear to have beer
subject to a desicca ton similar to that
of Turkestan and indicated by similar
phenomena. Thus all the more arid
part of Asia from the Caspian sea east
ward for more than $500 miles appears
to have been subject to a climatic
change whereby it has been growing less
