STRANGER THAN FICTION.

In the magnificent palace, near Paris, where lived the Victorien Sar- dou, playwright, was a huge chest that contained numberless little boxes, duly labeled. In these card board receptacles were notes, jotted down at any time, in any place, newspaper cuttings, epigrams and aphorisms of his own-a chest of ideas and plots. Sardou saw life and all events as plots, and thought that the richest and widest imagi- nation could invent nothing so thrilling, so fascinating and truly dramatic as the incidents daily re- corded in the newspapers.

 '"True enough, Louis," said Bona parte with laugh. "But beat you there. If you will look at that pro- boscis that Wellington carries on his facade you will see that lost mine by nose"
 "It is 23 for both of you," said Samson, "for history proves that l lost my power by hair"

FOR THEATER IN OPEN AIR
Esperantist Declares 1t Would Then Become Wholesome, Hearty and
 Healthful.

Dr. Hoffender in a striking article entitled An Esperanto City," which he contributes to the Strand Maga- zine, has good deal to say regard ing an Esperanto theater q am no supporter" he says, "of intramural dramatic representation. 1 am no opponent of the theater in its generic sense, but l am opposed to the thea ter as a dark, stuffy, confined dun geon Let us have the theater in the open air and in the light of day, and then it will become a wholesome, hearty and healthful recreation. I myself made a version of Hamlet in Esperanto, and it is one of the dreams of my life to see that version given in the theater of Esperanto" Dr. Hoffender's theatcr, we gather from the illustrations accompanying the article, is on the line of the old amphitheaters, the Colosseum at Rome, and with just reminiscence of the Spanish bullring about it. It will seat between six and seven thou sand people, and the stage will oc- cupy the center of the arena, the actors entering in procession from one of the archways.

ENTERPRISE IS SUCCESSFUL.

'By George" said the expatriate, "the unnaturalness of living in an apartment never struck me so forci. bly, as when my two kids laid their letters to Santa Claus on the top of the steam radiator and went off to bed trying to figure how Santa Claus could come down the steam pipes and up through the coils. I went out to buy cigar before they could ask me. Poor little kids, no stock

Unlted States court, now in session
here, by the application to Judge
Keller for an Injunction. prohibiting
the Chesapeake & Ohio. Kanawha &
Michigan and Norfolk and Western
railways from putting into effect a
proposed new freight rate on coal to
the lake region. The application was
made on behalf of number OF West
Virginia contemporaries by Attorney
q. r. vinson, of Huntington. and a.
Il. Hayes. of Washington. The pa
Dcrs presented contain a number RI
startling statements, and. among 9th
er charges, allege that the West yir
Ginla railroads have been coerced by
the Pennsylvania railroad interests IN
the raising the lake rates in the in
terests of the Ohio and Pennsylvania
coal operators, and that the proposed
Increase in rates viii absolutely shut
out West Virginia from the Lake mar
kets. A number of men prominent
in me coal interests throughout the
state are here. and intense interest
is manifested in the outcome of thu
proceedings.
