HIS HAPPIEST MOMENTS

OF his own appearances before the public, after
many years Of being in the public eye, he once
said.
THE happiest moments Of my Ifs have been
those when T the stage before q large audi
and felt that amusing the people. 1t
very satisfactory feeling to have when you are
conscious that you interesting your auditors
that they forget themselves. their unhappiness
their troubles. their disappointments"
Sitting In the little Office Of his theatre with only
q door separating him from the theatre auditorium
and hearing the music and applause. he said:
That's good music sit and hear, and I've
right here and heard it for twenty-five years. It's
a fine tonic. IL robbed Of IL. I'd get old IN a
night. Yes. I'm pretty old man. he continued I'm

age with stinging memories would be q hard period
OF life to bear. I haven't any Of that kind In my
repertoire
Then. with the thumbs and forefngers Of his
hands, he gave the neatly wsxed ends Of his MUS
tache another twist. and said
But don't you get the idea. that live in mem

IDEAS AS A MANAGER.

of the way in which he managed his theatre
Tony Pastor said few years ago:
When l first took a theatre 7 determined to
have a place where there should be no drinking
or smoking. and where the bill should be SO clean
that ladies and children could attend. There were
hundreds of places in New York then where va
rety performances were given in saloons and low
dives. but respectable place My friends pre-
dicted that in two weeks I would fail unless sold

songs that popular changes-the Irish
song. from 'Harrigan Bedea.' the negro song
the present day coon, and the patriotic song
with wave of Old Glory-the old kind OF
songs make the same old hits.
1T a curious fact-you Will laugh when tell
you. but It Is true-that the opera hurts me more
than any other competing attraction"

"Oh. the Italian. The German opera does not

an entire change in the character OF the audiences

veteran manager a few months ago. besides bring

the ranch again He asked the stableman what had
become of the chicks.
Rats ate EN-" was the response
Rats ate 'em Rats. eh? Rats; sign of decay!
Where's that damned tramp of mine?'
The tramp was the foreman. He was called
and got a tongue-lashing that was the premonition
of his discharge g few months later for 1ncom-
potency.
He has to travel thousands of miles alone through
a wild country. He is frequently held up and
robbed In consequence. but he never attempts re-
reports such incidents to the officers OF
the law. If he did the next man who robbed him
would probably kill him; SO be usually carries only
a little money and charges the robberies to proht
and loss.
Once he was robbed in Pacheco Pass by Mexi-
can who took 500 from him. Mr.. Miller knew the
man. and reminded him that he was long way
from home and asked the highwayman TO lend him
enough for expenses. The Mexican banded back q
$50 gold piece and disappeared. Several years later
Mr. Miller him on the street in Hanford and
offered him $40
81 borrowed this from you once" he said
Il you before" said the Mexican.
'Oh, yes you did. I borrowed $40 from you in
Pacheco Pass three years ago"
And he made him take ii.
But he is a fighter too. He has "lawed'' more,
as the old timers say, than any man on the coast
He employs an attorney in nearly every town near
his ranches and he will fight any legal dispute to
the last resort.
But the fiercest of his fighting is past. The titles
to his lands seem to be secure; he has reduced his
business to q smoothly working organization, with Il
central office San Francisco in charge of his SON
in-law; his time Is filled with the labor OF keeping
his affairs order and with brief visits to his home
I'm Gilroy Cal he has resigned his ambition to own
the whole state and has exchanged II for another.
He Is trying create public sentiment for a aew
