QUAINT CHARACTER
IS EUGENE WALTER
Author of The Wolf" Talks About
Himself and How to
Write PLAYS.

Eugene Walter. the young newspaper
reporter who leaped into fame through
his two successful plays, THE Wolf
and paid in Full" is an interesting
figure in theatricals Just now. In an
interview the other day he is quoted as
making some startling admissions, for
a playwright. as well as a number Of
very interesting statements
What do 1 think of Ibsen?'' replied
Mr.. Walter. Now. say. there's a funny
thing. I don't believe I have read two
of Ibsen's plays in my life. I've been
given credit for all kinds of knowledge
lately The history Of the drama, you
know. and the classics. Why, I'm an
ignoramus about those things. I've got
a brother who is the high-brow OF our
family.
Il have a theory about dramatic con-
struction. The reason why so many
playwrights fail is because they spend
so much time studying the thing. They
read up on dramatic construction and
criticism and fuss around, and when
their play is done there is no life left
in It. 1 write play in a week. Every
and and but is there in mind before
a thing goes on paper Then I dictate
as fast as I can. It's got to come like
that-the way things happen in real
life. Then 1 go over the manuscript
once and the play is ready to be staged.
Il wrote Paid in Full in six days and
The Wolf in five. No, I did not write
The Wolf first What do they say that
about me for. / wrote The Wolf after
the contract was signed just to show
them that I could write a different kind
OF play. And The Wolf is my pet
play. too. think 1t is better than Paid
in Full

repeated successes in musical comedy.

has been studying music for the last six

Benton and Barton.

In the Thirty Years In the United
States Senate" by Thomas Hart Ben
ton, Missouri's famous United States
senator, there is scant mention of Ben
tons colleague from Missouri David
Barton The only place in which his
name occurs is where Senator Benton
gives the roll call of the senate. and
Barton's name of course is therein
contained. Benton undertook to pun
fsh Barton by ignoring him and thus
relegate the first United States sena-
tor from Missouri to oblivion. Barton
had brought about Benton's election to
the senate. Barton was first named by
the legislature. and there was a long
contention as to the second sena tor
ship. Finally Barton's friendship for
Benton brought about Benton's cleo
ton. Later the two quarreled over the
appointment of an Indian agent in the
far west and drifted further and fur
Their apart. Finally the relations be
tween the two senators became such
that they scarcely spoke to one an
other when they met.-Kansas City

COTTON GROWERS MEET.
Annual Session OF Southern Cotton
Association at Dallas.

Association at Dallas.
Dallas, Teas, r'eu 20.-The
fourth annual session of the South
ern Cotton association convened in
the fair grounds auditorium yester-
day morning. The weather was not
what outsiders had been led to ex-
pect, but Dallas has tried to make
amends for the blasts of Boreas. The
auditorium was rather uncomfort-
able, and Hon. C. H. Jenkins of
Brentwood 'poked fun" at the
cold storage plant" Hereafter the
sessions of the association are to be
held in the Commercial club rooms
and perfect comfort is assured to
every delegate who attends.
The attendance is not as large as
had been expected. Not over $50
delegates were present at the morn
ing session Many others arrived
during the day, and there are about
500 delegates here ready for the Sc
TlOuS business Oh lHe convention To-
day.
The convention is an important
one. The association has nearly co.
000 members and comprises many
of the most prominent men in the
south. At this meeting plans for
holding up the price of cotton are to
be discussed and decided on.
The voluntary retirement of
President Harvie Jordan, who help
ed organize the association at New
Orleans, Jan. %, 1905, and who has
been it's constant mainstay, is regret
ted by all. His withdrawal starts a
contest for his successor. For this
honor the name of j. c. Hickey OF
Henderson, Texas, is being frequent
ly mentioned. Others, too, are nam
ed in this connection All subjects to
be discussed are of Importance to all
the south. Interest in the proceed
ings promises to increase with every
session.

ANIMAL TAILS.

A cat never actually wags its tail.
nevertheless it seems to serve the same
purpose in permitting a temporary eX

when the animal is under great strain.
For instance, when carefully stalking
a bird or man, as in the case Of a
kitten or lion. the tip of the tail is
