Why Is the Stage Villain Darke

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Why is it that all stage villains have
black hair and dark eyes? There Is sure
ly some reason for this and for the result
ant association in the popular mind of
villainy and swarthiness. Possibly 1t
might be traced back to some bogeyman
of folk lore In the cradle days Of the race.
But whatever its genesis, the idea is deep
ly rooted in English stage literature that
villains always must have dark COM
plexions. A villain with yellow hair and
blue or gray eyes, II introduced by some
daring dramatic iconoclast. would be, pre-
Sumably. hooted off the stage.
If we look back over Chicagos criminal
history we will find that the villains of
real life seem to fly in the face of this inn
memorial meodramatic tradition. The
city's murderers, the criminals who have
been herded to prison and the men who
have been hanged have had a strong
numerical leaning to the blond type. That
nine out of ten of the men who have
danced on air at a ropes end in the Chi
cago Jail had gray or blue eyes is a fact
of common knowledge to jail employees
A visit to Joliet, Chester and Pontiac
will convince the curious that Illinois
penitentiaries are filled with gray and
blue eyes

ton. Evidently "snorting. barking
hogs are every day sights in Cornwall.
Finding his defiant grunts of no avail, the
hog actually sat up on his launches. with
his front feet in the air. Such an exhi-
bition of cleverness was too much for the
horse attached to the cart and he SHE'D
across the road One witness said he
thought the horse was trying to emulate
the trick of the hog, but the others who
were called refused to be drawn on the
psychology of the animal.
When the horse SHE'D the motor was
close behind and in attempting to avoid
a collision. the driver ram his machine into
a stone wall. One witness facetiously re-
marked that he thought the motor was
trying to go both horse and hog one bet
ter and turn back somersault.
The plaintiff based his case in court on
the fact that the defendant had occupied
tie public highway with something dan
gerous. The court. however. refused to
believe that the hog was really dangerous.
The lord justice remarked that "a man
can sit down by the roadside when he IS
tired. why should not hog?"
Upon a witness being called who gave
the hog an excellent character judgment
was given for the defendant.

THE REAL HOG
IS THE ROAD HOG
Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, February 10. 1909.

Special Correspondence OF The star.
LONDON, February 10. 1909.
"HAT the motorist is not the only
road hog has just been proved in
. an amusing case in the court of
appeal here.
The owner of a motor car sued the own
er of a large fat hog for damages caused
by a complication of circumstances. 1t
seems that the hog was thoughtlessly
near Truro, in Cornwall, when a horse and
cart and the motor approached. Reused
by the pounding of the horses hoofs on
the road and the footing of the automobile
horn. the old hog, slowly and laboriously,
struggled to his feet.
When human beings are in the way OF
the motor car nowadays they lose TO time
in scramblng TO place of safety. Not
so this particular Cornwall hog. He
had his own ideas on the right of way.
It at this point in the narrative that
the court evidence became amusing and,
Incidentally, conflicting. 1t is not easy to
tell from the testimony just what the
hog really did.
IL we are to believe some of the wit
i,esses he is master of a bag of tricks that
would entitle him to a place in circus.
The consensus of opinion was that the
hog refused to bulge from his position in
the center of the road. One witness con-
tented himself with saying that the ami
mai ''snorted'' at the o1coming motor car.
\ Iother declared that the hog ''barked''
several times at it,

Foot Ball as Travel Factor.


The returns of the New Ravens foot

whether viewed In their operating or

less than $4,000 a year, or nearly dou-
BILE the average days nominal revenue
from passenger business on a large sys-
tenn with great passenger traffic. To han
die within a few hours 121 trains, with
nearly forty thousand foot ball passen-
gers without mishap or serious delay, is
surely a feat of such magnitude and
skill as dwarfs such minor incidents of
mere inconvenience as 1,161 passengers

mediately after the game. But there are
some offsets to the railroad profits of q
'big" foot ball day. We speak with in
direct authority in stating that the higher
officers of the New Haven system ques-
ton whether foot ball receipts really
compensate for the suspension of freight
traffic during half a day. and fbr the
stress and strain of the thought that a
single bad accident may eat up the net

Wood as Food.
From Tit-Bits

In one quarter of the earth, at least.
wood, in a certain form. serves as a COM
mon and constant article Of diet, and that
is the northern coast Of Siberia. At sew
eral points the natives eat wood. and eat
it because they like it, Even when fish 10
plentiful. wood usually forms a part OF
the evening meal of these natives, as tes-
titled by numerous travellers. Clearly
stripped larch logs near every hut In that
region are silent witnesses to the 9eperal
fondness for wood diet. The dish is pre-
pared by scraping off thick layers imme-
diately under the bark of the log. These
are chopped fine and mixed with snow,
the whole being boiled in a kettle. Some
times a little fish roe, milk or butter =
mixed with the wood.

In the course Of it's long history Eng
land has known few serious earthquake
shocks. In the days of William Rufus one
was felt throughout the country, and in
1874 an English earthquake destroyed
Glastonbury among its other damage,
while part of st. Pauls Cathedral fell in
as the result of an earthquake in the six
teenth century. Perhaps the most recent
serious shock was that which inflicted
much damage in the eastern counties in
1884: Mansion House fund was opened
for the sufferers.

Who has not sat on a piece Of fiypaper

While the increase in the White House
expenses has rapidly been rising during
the past quarter of a century, the up
ward trend has been much more pro-
nounced during the Roosevelt regime.
Whether there will be an increase or
falling off during the term of William
Howard Taft remains to be seen. The
social functions of the White House have
been doubled under Mr.. Roosevelt's adj
ministration. he having practically used
his entire official salary for the purpose.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been more lavish
entertainer than perhaps any other Presi-
dent yet much he has entertained
he has not been able to meet the condi
tions that the social life of the capital
demands at the present time. Probably
the only reason for this is the fact that
even the remodeled White House is not
large enough to meet such requirements
Even his public receptions have. be-
cause of his popularity with the masses,
been greater than those of any preced-
ing President.

$4,000 Mr. Roosevelt will leave the
White House In no better financial con
ditior, than when he entered II, his 1rlenos
say.
Much has been said recently in regard
to the upkeep of this magnificent old CO.
Innial mansion and the maintaining OF us
occupant. The actual cost has oeen
:, much mooted question. There is
wide divergence of views on the SuoJect'
but still more varied are the opinions ex-
pressed as to how handsomely this great
republic should provide for us cnle1 eH-
ecIltive 1t is urged that owing TO his
social obligations and the necessity OF
maintaining fitting style. 1t has been I'M
possible for any chief executive to save
anything for the rainy day. and that
each and every one of them mas leIt the
White House as poor as ne entered.
However this may be- the government
has steadily increased the amount OF
money appropriated for the White House.
During the closing administration the
amount of increase has been greater
than that of any other administration.
When Dolly Madison. who was mistress
of the White House from 1909 TO 1913,
spent $50 for a piano and another 800
for needed articles of furniture 1t was
regarded at the time as an extravaganza
and there was much criticism. This,
however was Il hundred years ago, and
Congress at its present session will prob
ably make an allowance of more than
quarter of million dollars for the
maintenance of the White House for the
mex. fiscal year. and in addition, increase
the Presidents salary to SlOO,OO0 yearly.
Although it is supposed by the average
citizen that the Presidents salary is by
-
nection with the White House, recent de-
bates in Congress over the increase
brought to light the fact that the sum
received salary by the President is
less than a quarter of the total amount
required for the keeping up of the Exec
utive Mansion.
