preparation, Edwin acted Richard Ill

was to have appeared in this role, but
illness was given as the cause of his
failure to appear. Thereafter it was
thought that this excuse cloaked the
elder Booth s desire to put his son 8

The event was fortunate. No announce

Booth was at first received by the large
audience with surprise and doubt. The
young actor had listened to the read
ing of the lines by a friend while he
hastily dressed The audience awoke
to consideration and generosity for the
young man as the play developed. In
the end Edwin was rewarded with warm
approval for his efforts.
Edwin Booth s first unqualified sue
cess was won in California, where the
harder work of his early career was
done. The elder Booth journeyed to
San Francisco in July, 1852. He set
out without Edwin, whom he designed
to remain on the family farm near Bal
timore; but while en- route he sent for
Edwin and awaited his arrival The
elder Booth remained in California but
three months. In a stock company that
supported him were Edwin and Junius.
From San Francisco the company went
to Sacramento, where it failed. The
elder Booth bade his sons farewell in

Sioux in 1876, Congress has given a
deserved reward to two red-skinned

by the government was performed after

Reynolds had captured Crazy Horse <

At that time the allied tribes of Sioux
and Cheyennes were at their strongest
and were bidding defiance to all the
forces that could be hurled against
them. Not only were Crazy Horse and
other great Indian generals performing
marvels in scouting work, but they met

to the east, first advising Edwin to re-
main IN the new country and try his
fortune as an actor. The California
period of Edwin Booth s career ran
from the summer of 1852 until the fall
of 1856. During this time he made a
trip to Australia and the Sandwich ISL
ands His first regular California en-
gagement was in support of D. w.
.Waller-afterward stage manager of
Booth S Theater. With him Mr. Booth
played a wide range of parts in all
kinds of drama, and during this en-
gagement he played Iago for the first
time. The engagement was unfortu-
nate.
OVERWHELMED BY CALAMITIES.
At Grass Valley the company was
isolated by great snowstorm and mar
rowly escaped starvation. To fill his
bitter cup, an adventurous express car
rier brought to Edwin the news of his
father S death. Torn by grief, harass-
ed by apprehension for his mother,
destitute of money and hemmed in by
the storm, the young actor was well
nigh maddened. To join his brother
Junius in San Francisco he desperate
ly united his fortunes with a company
of rough and determined men who I'M
dertook the journey outward on foot
in the snow. Suffering untold misery
they finally reached Maryville, consum-
ing two days and night in the jour
ney. Here Booth borrowed enough to
pay his passage to Sacramento and
thence to San Francisco. Here he
learned from Junius of the burial of
their father; that their mother was not
in pressing need and they determined
to begin their fgtunes anew in Cali
fornia.

On the heels of the Crows and Sho.
shones came the exultant Sioux, 5000
of them, according to the estimate of
historians. Crook sent his Crows and
Shoshones to circle the right and left
so they could fall on the tanks of the
Indians. The infantry and part of the
I'd Cavalry went forward as skirmish-
ers around the bluffs of the Rosebud.
Mills made a gallant charge against the
Indians on the left. The savages gave
way and fed to higher ground, where
they opened fire. Again Mills charged
and cleared the upper ground of Sioux,
who retired, though fighting desper-
ately.
WHEN CROWS HELPED HENRY.
A similar charge had been made >pn
the other side by Guy Y. Henry, after
ward brigadier general. The Crows and
Shoshones delivered their attack on the
Indian s rear, and but for this diversion
the Sioux would in all probability have
overwhelmed the white soldiers, whom

his troops and encouraged the Sioux,

June eth marked the fifteenth ami
PROFESSIONALLY the greatest and most
versatile actor in the history of the
American theater. Though the lapse of
fifteen years seems but short period
in the life of the average adult, the
younger generation has learned little
of and the older one mentions only
casually the great achievements of this
really picturesque and remarkable man.
Edwin Booth died at his rooms IN the
Player Club, New York, at 1:I1
clock Wednesday morning, June Z,
1898, from the effects of paralysis,
which disease attacked him for the
first time in Rochester, n. Y, April 3,
1889. while playing Iago to the Otheilo
of Lawrence Barrett. He was brought
to New York city and later taken to
Lakewood, where he suffered a second
attack. He returned to New York and
so far recovered that he was soon able
to walk about alone. But his stage
career had nearly ended. His last ap-
pearence before the footlights was at
the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, April
4, 1891, when he appeared as Hamlet.
The audience, large and appreciative,
seemed to have some premonition of his
public end, and after the play called
out the great actor again and again.
Booth finally appeared to speak. He
said with some feeling: 81 hope. that
this is not the last time that shall
appear before you.
Booth s last appearance before the
assembled members of the Players
Club, of which he was founder and
president, was on New Year eve, 1892.
The company was perhaps the most re-
markable ever gathered on like oc-
icasion in New York and embraced
every distinguished member of the
organization. Here, too, the body
seemed to be moved by presentiment.
Booth himself was apprehensive. He
had prepared short speech to deliver
to his friends, but was so affected by
preparations for the occasion that when
he attempted to commit his thoughts
to paper his hand would hardly obey.
The finished draft was almost illegible,
even to him. \ solicitous associate

read it, even if it were copied. When
the event was at hand emotion con-
trolled almost every one present.
Booth s words pathetically expressed
consciousness of his condition.
LAST TALK WITH PLAYERS.
Mr.. A. NJ. Palmer, who presided, pre-
scented President-elect Cleveland, who
spoke feelingly and referred to Mr..
Booth in terms of affection. The APP
plause was loud and prolonged. When
silence came Mr.. Booth said:
Gentlemen: Although this occa-
sion should be regarded-as happy one,
as the fourth anniversary of our club s
existence yet | must confess to sense
of almost terror when / consider the
responsibility of my position-that of

over Henry's unconscious form, but
finally the Sioux were driven back and
Henry was picked up and borne to safe
ty, afterward recovering and taking
part in many other desperate battles.
The heroic services of the Indians
who took part in the battle of the Rose
bud have been overlooked until this late
day. Bull Snake received a terrible
wound in the hip during the progress
of the engagement, the bone being shat
tered and leaving the leg deformed.
The writer saw him last fall at the
annual, fair of Crow Indians He was
in the parade of old Indians and across
his arm rested the very rifle that he
bore so effectively in the fight on the
Rosebud.
Coyote-Looks-U took part in the
same parade and was an awe-inspiring
sight, his face being BACKED and his
headdress consisted of part of buffalo
skull. CoyoteLooks- Up is cratic at
times. In this regard a good story is
told of him by old-timers on the reserva-

DRILLING MACHINE.
How 1t Is Made and How II is
Worked.

1t will be seen from the sketch that
the drilling machine is a very simple
affair, consisting essentially of round
block of wood about eight inches long
and eight inches in diameter, with an
iron band ring placed on the top and
bottom to prevent splitting. Through
its center and protruding about two
inches below is smooth round
wooden shaft about one and one-fourth
inch in diameter and three feet in
length. Both ends of this shaft are
protected from splitting by ring or
ferrule. The crossbar is a piece of
wood about three inches wide, one
inch thick and three and one-half feet
long, having hole in the center large
enough to allow the bar to move cas-
lily up and down on the shaft and
shaped as shown. The ends of the bar
may also be protected by ferrules. A
hole is bored in each end Of the bar
and also in the upper end of the
shaft Through these holes piece of
strong cord or rawhide is passed and
drawn tight, with a bar standing,
squared, about one inch above the
block. The cord is then secured from
clipping in the holes by means of knots
and pegs driven in the holes, says the
Metal Worker. A drill is inserted in

and may be made from an old hand
saw file ground to a triangular point.
To set the machine in motion, place
the point of the drill on the spot where
the hole is to be made, and with the ma
chine in an upright position, and while
grasping the bar in one hand, with
the other turn the shaft around until
the bar is raised as high as it will
go. Then lay hold of the bar with
both hands and press quickly down
wards. The weight Of the block gives
sufficient motion to wind up the cord
and raise the bar again, when a sec
ond downward motion of the bar
causes a revolution in the opposite di-
rection. In this way the work is ac-
complished by pressing down on the
bar and allowing it to rise again as
the cord winds and unwinds upon the
revolving shaft.

Judge Taft in the Narramore case
The laws passed for the protection of
workingmen had been ignored by a
number of the big corporations and
when a man was mutilated or killed
the employers would set up the doc
trine of assumed risk" that is, that
the workman by continuing to work
although the required safeguards had
not been provided assumed all liability
for accident. Courts in all parts of the
country had declared in this sense
until Judge Taft came to pass upon it,
Railway companies had been or
dered to block all frogs, but for eight
years had neglected to do SO. Switch
man Narramore was caught in one and
left q cripple. The lower courts had
decided that he had no case, but
Judge Taft held that the laws of this
kind were passed in the interest Of
the state as much as of the citizen
for it was in the interest of the state
that its citizens should not be crippled
and so placed in a condition In which
they could not aid in its defense. 1t
was also in the interest of the state
that a workingman's family should not
be pauperized by the mutilation of it's
breadwinner. On these grounds a
man had no right to assume such a
risk, as he was thereby injuring the
interests of the state.
This principle has been adopted by
the courts of nearly every state in
the country, as well as the United
States, and it has led to the block

wheels and the guarding of machin

for the worker granted by court in
