QUEER VIEWS OF STAGE LIFE
Sood Story Illustrating the Commer ~'alism of American
 Plavhouses.


 Oflce-boy inso4>D.e is one of the reasons why the stage isn't as pleas ant a pursuit as it used to be. accord ing to the experienced actors, the New York correspondent of the Gin cinnat Times-Star says. Nowadays" '" they say, the theater is so thoroughly commercialized that it's chief figures Tn management act and think precise ly as they would if they were manag. ing sweatshops. And the art of act. ing is itself in decline. One of the reasons Is the insistence of the mod ern manager upon the employment of types. Actors and actresses must physically fit the needs of the roles for which they are cast. instead of making themselves over to fit them. as in the old days"
 However that may be, queer little stories turn up every now and then The other day young woman, in whose veins the very proudest blood of Kentucky and Virginia runs. ap- piled to little, half-portion manager for a place she knew he had vacant. He gave one careless glance at her and shook his head.
 You won't do," said he. q want a reg lar arisdograt vor that there job"
 He doesn't know yet why the girl sat down in a sacred chair in his holy office and laughed helplessly until she finally went out. her eyes streaming tears of pure delight. Nor does he quite get the point of the jest of the girl that succeeded her, and whom he engaged fer the "aristocratic' role. In the first rehearsal the little bandy. legged manager interfered He scowled at the young woman and crit cised her acting severely.
 Wy" said he, "dond efen walk like an arisdocrat. Be here. You must walk like dig"
 And he strutted across the stage in what he believed to be an "aristo cratic" walk The girl gazed at him with all her innocent young soul in her eyes. When he finished his pa rade he turned to her.
 "Oh, yes,' said she, brightly, nov I understand. See, will walk just as you do."
 She slumped across the stage in a 6at-footed, duck-legged. pigeon-toed shamble.
 Now" she said, turning to the manager, didn't l walk just as you think an aristocrat should?" He just parked at her

QuiniauIt Indians Fisheries.

The Quiniault Indians deserve praise for the efficient and far seeing methods adopted in the management of their fisheries. They have learned the lesson taught by their white breth- ren that if the salmon is to be con served the fish must be permitted to go up the stream to the spawning ground. This year the Quiniaults adopted a rule under which they kept a runway in the stream free from nets. and many thousands of "bluebacks" were seen to pass up the stream. Heretofore the nets have been set promiscuously and no at tempt was made to conserve the fish.
 But even with a runway kept open the Indians enjoyed the greatest catch Tn the memory of old men of the tribe this year The 120000 salmon caught had a value of about S45,000, and of this sum s24,000 will go to the heads of 30 families. That is $500 to the family, a sum sufficient to provide we'll for an Indian family a year.

tion has not been so apparent in the past, but those who understand the present conditions in Florida and in other states should be alive to the ne- cessity of taking some action to cut wisely what forests remain, and pro- vide for regeneration on lands that have already been denuded. The report explains the present situation in de- tail and points the way for a wiser consideration in the future
 The south, with 27 per cent of the total area of the United States, con- tains about 42 per cent of the total forest area of the country. The for est area by states is as follows: Ala bama, 20,000,00 acres; Arkansas, 24.. 100000; Florida, 20,000,00o; Georgia, 22,300,000; Kentucky, 10,000,000; Lou isiana, 16,500,000; Maryland, 2,200,. 900; Mississippi, 17,500,000 North Carolina, 19,600,000; South Carolina. 12,000,000; Tennessee, 15,000, 900; Texas, 30,000,000; Virginia, 14,000.- 900, and West Virginia, 9,100,0OO.
 The south, it will be seen, has stiE much of the virgin forest of the country This forest must be used of course, in order to meet the steadily expanding wants of the section. It must be used in svch manner, how ever, that the very most may be made from it's annual cut, while at the same time this cut is being replaced by new growth. In this way it's tim Der will remain source of perpetual wealth.
 The importance of forest conserva- ton to southern interests is clearly understood by the people of the south. The future of the south is more near ly bound up in the plan of forest pres ervation, with it's accompanying pro- lection to watersheds, power-streams, and woodworking industries, than is anything now before the people of that part of the country. Not only is the perfection of the watersheds, which will some day furnish the pow CT to run all manufacturing establish ments in the entire south, an impor- tant matter to the south, but the in- dustries depending upon the forest products will also be benefited by the protection thrown about the remain ing timbered area.

 "A cousin of mine-forty-sec de- gree, as they count in the south-was rather deaf. This man-Tll call him Allitson-was our Consul General in Yokohama. One hot morning two big Danes, American citizens, appeared at the consulate. A Japanese woman, clattering unmusically along on her clogs, walked between them.
 Do you take the job to marry man?' asked one of the big fellows.
 Well, hardly said the Marshal, who met him. but I'll speak to the Consul
 What dy' say?' asked Bill Allit- son, drawing his brows together and turning his good ear towards the Mar shal. oh, exactly; they want to get married, do they? We'll, get their names and show 'em into the office. Now. boys, just stop your grinning.'
 Jim Bates and I pulled as solemn faces as we could and stood up behind the Consul.
 The wedding party, very shame faced, came rolling in. Evidently they were seafaring gentlemen. The wom- an had a wholesome, honest look, but was no beauty in my eyes.
 "'You are citizens of the United States" questioned the Consul.
 Ja, just so,' nodded the men.

LONGEST TELEGRAPH CIRCUIT
Is 4,ooo Miles Long, Extending from London to Teheran, in
 Persia.

Persia and it's capital Teheran, have been very much before the pub lie lately, but probably few people are aware that the news which has come through to London has passed over the longest teiegraphic circuit in the world, says the London Daily News.
 The distance between London and Teheran by wire is 4.000 miles and the operator in Teheran communl' cates direct with the operator at the London end, automatic repeaters talk ing the place of operators at ten places along the circuit
 The first repeating station from London is at Lowestoft where the wires enter the North sea, beneath which they run for 200 miles to Elm dent, Hanover, where the second au- tomatic repeater continues the mes sage.
 Thence it is flashed to Berlin. War saw, Rouno, Odessa, Kertch, Sukhum Kaleh, Tifis and Tauris, from each oi which stations it is instantaneously forwarded without human interven- tion the telegraphist at Teheran, who receives the message from Tauris, be- ing the first operator to handle it since it left London. From Teheran the line then extends to India. but nowhere else is there a circuit so long as that between Teheran and London.

Look out for weevils in the grain. Thresh as soon as possible Fresh erain should not be exposed to attack by being placed in bins or granaries with that already infested. Before storing, the old grain should be re- moved and the floors, walls and cell ings of the bins thoroughly cleaned
 If the granary has been badly infest- ed, 1t should be fumigated Cleanli- ness is very important in preventing injury by these insects. Dust, dirt

was for purse of $4,000 and the cham

The ring generalship he had picked
up in many battles enabled Langford
TO score comparatively easy victory
over Hague, and the fourth round had
been barely commenced when the burly
Yorkshireman was floored by well-di-

Langford was at disadvantage as
to weight, height and reach, but his
superior knowledge Of ring tactics and
his uuickness overcame this, and whst
was expected to be long contest
proved very brief.
In the first round Hague was SLOW
to start. Langford had a shade the

was done in the second round, he
