her big, mysterious brown eyes,
you will realize what the poet
means when he speaks of the child
beholding The Light and whence it
flows. Her eyes give the impress
sion of being able to see deep into
hidden things which other grown
people remember only vaguely as
the shadowy, haunting memories
of youth. They seem to reflect
ever-increasing wonder, innocent
surprise. and at the same time a
sort of ethereal precedence.
The stage of the National The
alter was in confusion. There were
all sorts of props scattered about,
and far over in one corner, almost
hidden behind a section of stair
way and a big canvas bookcase,
both used in THE Morals of Mar
GUS" Miss Doro was discovered
Tuesday afternoon quite alone, her
fingers running lightly over the
keys of piano. She turned rather
suddenly when she became aware
that she was no longer alone, and
for the first time that peculiarly
fascinating light was seen in her
eyes

Royalty Spurs Ambition.


81 was trying one OF Tschaikov-
sky's lighter compositions" she
said. This piano had such a rich
tone when 1 tried it last night in
the play that / Immediately decided
/ would come over some time to-
day and enjoy it. And when l
found in my mail this morning a
check, the royalty on one of my
songs, 1 decided l would not only
enjoy the piano, but would write
another royalty-maker at the same
time.
Its funny, but the only time
my ambition is quickened as a
composer is the moment after
have received the royalty on one of
my songs. As soon as l came over
here all thought and inclination
for composing left me.
"Oh, it never takes me more than
an afternoon TO write song" she
said, in answer to a question.
"And the disconcerting feature
about it all is that the songs which
/ think are the most trivial make
the biggest hit. For example, The
Doggie in Our Yard in Hattie Viii
liams' Little Cherub' was the most
successful song l ever wrote, and
l think it is the worst"
When it was suggested that the
song which she sang in "The Nor
ais of Marcus" made an impression
almost equally favorable upon the
audience, Miss Doro gave a must
cal, gurgling laugh, and said:
Eyes, but that isn't my song.
When the idea of singing at this
point of the play was suggested, l
thought of composing something.
and the manager wanted me to do
so, but when l thought about it,
il seemed so bold to sing ones
own compositions, and ] decided |
just couldn't do it. 1t would have
looked so much as if l were trying
to force my own work upon the
public l might as well have com
posed a number, however, for l
get the credit for having done so
wherever 1 60"
"Since you are getting the credit,
or rather the discredit, as you feel,
of boosting your own songs. why
not do SOP Miss .Doro was asked.
Perhaps I shall" she replied. Il
am very anxious TO play The Nor
ais of Marcus again next year, in
all the places out West where I
have not been this year. 1t has
been such a big success in all the
cities where ] had never played be-
fore that | don't want to break the
charm. l don't think ! shall be
able to crafty this wish, however.
1 am TO go to London for an en-
gagement this summer. though not
in The Morals of Marcus and my
plans for the future are not com
plete."
"How heavily do your stellar
honors weigh upon your shout
ders?"
ooh, il is just the same as last
year, only more work and greater
responsibility. To be star was
such a glorious vision Few years
ago, and now that the time has
come, the glamour is gone. Of
course, it is all very fortunate that
the things which you achieve are
not all that you anticipate, for if
they were we would not progress
very much. lust think how awful
1t would be if we were all like a

have to be in a receptive frame of

As she concluded Miss Doso
laughed again, with the same unaf-
fected gurgle, and aGlled: Il am

nal ideas of mine, when, as a mat

myself that opening night that 1

One of the amusing features of my
debut was the fact that no one

pany knew that l was an amateur.
1 took a stage name just a few
moments before the programs

time TO think I would never have
chosen such a foolish name as

FOUND IN BLOOD

BY a Murder Mys-

ONE MAN UNDER ARREST.
THOUGHT JOHN UNDERWOOD
WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR CRIME
AS cIRcUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE

of blood, the head bent to the knees.
body of Carrie Hayden Percifield, d.
vorced wife of Curtiss Percifeld, was
found last night on the levee west Of
the Second street bridge. John Under

home. His collar was saturated with
blood as were his coat, trousers and
suspenders, which bore the marks Of
bloody fingers.
John Cochrane who CHANGED to walk

white lying on the grass, and, believ-
ing that some one was injured, ran
to tho city water works to notify Head
Engineer Tooley and Fireman Abram

the scene of the crime and found the
dead woman. The city officers and
Coroner J. w. Benham were at once

KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURE
The Two Do Not Necessarily Walk
Hand In Hand.

Hand In Hand.
High marks in examinations depend
upon trained memory and a power
of acquiring irrelevant Information.
Culture, on the contrary. is q sym
pathetic assimilation of the best in the
realm of thought and achievement,
Culture Is slower process and a deep
or, and its reward strikes further in
Assimilation of the best that has been
thought and accomplished affects not
merely the brain, but the character
the whole spirit of a man. Culture
implies a soil plowed and fortified,
where whatever seed falls has the
better chance for growth. Informa-
ton even in vast quantities. SO long
as it remains mere information, used
for purposes Of passing examinations,
need not affect the manners nor the
morals Of man; both may remain
hopeleSsly lax in an encyclopedia
mine of facts But culture affects
primarily the manners and the morals
A cultured gentleman has external
methods of getting on with his kind
he has the true sense of relationship
the feeling that all he can learn to feel
or to be is not for himself, but for
service; he knows himself in a net
work of human inter-relations. In the
end the test of knowledge is not ex,
animation marks; it is living.-Har,
