When Actors PLAY to Actors.


"When he Henry Irving engaged me
to play Ophelia in 1878 he asked me to
go down to Birmingham to see the
play, and that night saw what shall
always consider the perfection of act
ing. 1t had been wonderful in 1874; in
1873 it was far more wonderful" wrote
Ellen Terry in McClure's "It has been
said that when he had the advantage
of my Ophelia his Hamlet improved

independent Of the people with whom
he played. The Birmingham night he
knew I was there. He Played say it
without vanity-for me. We players
are not above that weakness, If it be a
weakness. If ever anything inspires
us to do our best it is the presence in
the audience of some fellow artist who
must, in the nature Of things, know
more completely than any one what we
intend, what we do, what we feel. The

audience flies across the footlights to

PARTY SALOONS
COL. PLUMMER TELLS HOW ONLY
GOOD REPUBLICANS CAN RUN
SALOONS IN PROHIBITION
MAINE

The Tribune was the very pleased
recipient of visit from Bismarck's
old campaign veteran and political
war horse, Col w. G. Plummer.
The colonel, as all old-timers are
aware, is dyed-in-the-wool stalwart,
and the object of his visit was pri-
niarily to get what advance informa,
ton there might be of the Minot CON
vantion.
Col. Plummer in the course of his
conversation entertained those pres
ent with several Of his tyHcally hu.
morous anecdotes.
"A When asked how he would compare
conditions in Maine to our conditions,
he said: II went to Maine to live in
1898, just ten years ago this year. 1

month when / was thoroughly con.

What Makes tho Heart Reat2

Professor Jacques Loeb, the celebrat-
ed biologist, in his book, "Dynamics
Of Living Matter" has shown that a
strip cut from the ventricle of the
heart put in solution Of chloride OF
sodium will continue to beat for a
number Of days, until putrefaction sets
in. He says this can be done with an
ordinary muscle after it has been ex.
tirpated from the body. This would
tend to prove that the heart is a chem
ical machine and that 1t is all due to
chemical action. The muscular con.
traction is probably due to the substt
tuition Of sodium for calcium salts In
the cells of the muscles.
The difficulty of this theory Is that II
does snot explain the control Of the
muscles. 1t is plain that the problem
of control is not solved by the chem
ical theory.

A Fair Chance.

Dressed in the latest and most APP
proved motor cycling costume, with
goggles all complete, the motor cyclist
gayly pot-tooted his way by Regents
park toward the ZOO. Suddenly he
slackened, dismounted and said to a
small, grubby urchin:
II say, my boy. am right for the
zoo?"
The boy gasped at SO strange sight
and thought it must be some new ami
NAL for the gardens.
"You may be all right If they have a
spare cage" he said when he could find
his tongue, "but you'd ha' stood far
better chance If you'd d tail!'-Lon-

Tho Topsyturvydom of Religion.

Tho 1opsyturvydom OF Religion.
At the opening of King Edward Wis
first parliament he had to repeat after
the lord chancellor an oath which con-
demned in almost brutal words all
things papistical. Yet held aloft by
Protestant peer for all Protestants to
reverence was yeritable emblem of
papal supremacy-a quaint little bon
net of crimson velvet turned up with
ermine. This is the cap of mainte-
nance, and so sacred is it that no
hands but royalty may finger it. Thus
the premier marquis, whose hereditary
right it is to carry it, balanced it some
what after the fashion Of a conjurer
upon a white staff. This cap was
granted to Henry VIII. by Pope Leo
x. In the middle ages it was held as
symbolic of the overload, only being
granted to vassals and feudatories
whom the lord wished to honor, 80 that
it implies as nothing else could the su-
premacy Of the pope over the kings OF
England.-London Standard.

REWARD the Fox.

Renard, or, as it is more usually
written, Reynard, is the name given
to the fox in famous German epic
of the fourteenth century called "Rey-
nard the Fox" The book is really
satire on the state Of Germany In the
middle ages, the different animals, each
Of which are given special name,
IMPLYING different institutions. Thus
Reynard the Fox stands for the church,
Isengrim the Wolf for the barons and
Model the Lion for the emperor. 9th
er characters are Tibert the Cat and
Bruin the Bear. Both in the last nam
ed case and that Of Reynard the per-
sonal name given by the author has
passed into common speech.

GROUND HOG DAY.
Survival Of Festival of the Middle
Ages In Europe.

6urvt<a' OF FESTIVAL OF the Middle
Ages In Europe.
The origin of ground hog day is &C.
counted for in the following way: Feb.
2, or Candlemas day, was favorite
holiday, marked by public gayety and
ceremonies in Europe during the mid
die ages. 1t is still marked there by
the closing Of banks and offices, but
not otherwise, outside Of the reading
Of church services. In the church cal
endar 1t Is known as the Feast of Puri
fication Of the Virgin and was first in.
stituted by Pope Sergius about the
year 6S4 A. D. The popular name of
the day is derived from the early Gus
tom of lighting up the churches with
candles and carrying these in process
sion on this festival.
As to the weather superstition giving
to Candlemas the name of ground hog
day, that is worldwide fable. In Ger
many it is the badger that breaks his
winter nap on this day to essay the
thankless task Of weather prophecy; in
France and Switzerland it is the mar
mot and in England the hedgehog. OBJ
servation shows, says the Housekeep-
er, that none of these small animals
do thus observe the date fixed; also
that the weather on this date does not
accurately foretell that Of the follow
Ing two months, as is supposed. But
it is general truth that in temperate
ATTITUDES warm and sunny weather in
the first half Of February Is apt to be
followed by change and cool spring,
and on this fact our ground hog and
badger stories are founded.

Lewis CarrolI's Humor.

An English magazine gives some
amusing pieces Of Lewis CAROLS hu-
NOR from the forgotten pages of Ok
ford pamphlets. During the election at
Oxford in 1866 he gave vent to the fol-
lowing Euclidean definition: plain su-
perfciality is the character of a speech
in which, any two points being taken,
the speaker is found to lie wholly with
regard to those two points" A note is
also given on the right appreciation Of
examiners: "A takes in ten books and
gets third class; B takes in the ex-
aminers and gets a second. Find the
value Of the examiners in terms Of
books, also their value in terms when
no examination is held"

the United States court was devoted
Thursday to the consideration of the
case of James B. Johnson against the
Northern Pacific railroad. Wednes
day evening the court held session
which lasted from until after 10
o'clock. Many witnesses occupied the
stand in this case, and the trial
proved an interesting one.
At 4:30 o'clock the attorneys began
to argue the case to the jury. The
trial will probably reach it's conclu-
sion this morning.
One more case will be tried at this
term, and the probabilities are that

ORATORICAL CONTEST AT
THE HIGH SCHOOL

The oratorical and essay contest
held in the high school auditorium
Tuesday evening was not only a sue
cess in point OF interest but marked
evidence Of the strength OF such work
in the school.
That an institution can plan and
carry out a spirited contest among
their own members Is sufficient proof
Of the need to emphasize this feature
in the training of high school stu
dents, and the fact that among those
who heard last nights contest there
were those who have Voluntarily Of
fered substantial prizes for another
time is encouraging for the future Of
the work.
Esther Craig opened the contest
with an essay entitled, "The Integer."
Elizabeth Burgess gave a plea for
the Immigrant" and Pearl Pettinger's
effort was appropriately entitled,
"stone Walls Do Not Prison Make
Nor Iron Bars a Cage"
The prize of $500 was awarded to
Esther Craig. She will represent the
school at Boulder where the high
schools of the state meet In competi-
ton in May. Harold Davis gave the
grafton which he will deliver in Boul-
der upon the same occasion.
A vocal solo by Mrs. Watson, a reci-
tation by Rofena Lewis and musical
numbers by the high school orches-
ira contributsd much to the success
Of the program.

Emery Earl Miller.

Deceased was born August 2S, 4sSS,
in Iowa, and died April 10. 1908, in
Canon City, Colorado. aged 10 years,
months and IL days.
The family came overland one year
ago last fall for Earl's health. Colo
radios health breezes and magnificent
surroundings did much for the sufferer
and before many months gave his
friends the reasonable hope Of many
years of life. But, alas! a malady Of
a different nature seized him, and like
a severe frost in springtime. blasted
all hopes.
After weeks Of intense pain and
struggles, hopes and fears. the end
came last Friday morning, when the
birds caroled their praise and the
bursting buds emitted the fragrance
of a glorious resurrection-"Gods fin-
ger touched him and he slept"
About five weeks ago, after days OF
Bible instruction and prayer, Earl
was gloriously converted. There was
great Joy in the entire household, as
also among the angels in heaven. We
at once began to pray for others. and
to tell all who called, OF his changed
life. He longed to die, and to be at
rest. His end was peaceful, indeed.
He could say:
Life, we've been long together.
Through pleasant and through cloudy
weather;
'Tis hard to part when friends are
dear;
Perhaps twill cost a sigh, a tear;
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time.
Say not good night but in
Some brighter cline
Bid me good morning"
He leaves father. mother, two broth
ers and two sisters-one brother pre-
ceded him to the glory world. The
funeral services were held on Sunday
afternoon at the family residence on
