POOR UNCLE ED

A Baltimore man was recently show
ing his nice new opera hat to his little
nephew, and when he caused the top
piece to spring open three or four
times the youngster was delighted.
A few days thereafter the uncle, dur
ing a visit to the same household,
brought with him a silk hat of the
shiny, noncollapsible kind. When he
was about to leave the house he en-
countered the aforesaid youngster rum
ming down the hall with what looked
like a black accordion.

one goes awfully hard. had to sit

INDIAN ACTRESS

IN HE one greatest novelty on the
vaudeville stage at present Is
II playlet, "a Modern Pocahontas,"
which is portrayed, save for the two
white characters in it, wholly by In
dams. There are some fifteen of these
redskins, and they are the genuine ar
ticle, right from the Shoshone reserva-
ton, secured by Martin Beck, who puts
the act out, through permission of the
United States government. The act
is the headliner at the Los Angeles Or
pheum this week.
OF these real indians, one, Emma
Rainey, as she is known in English, is
a graduate of the Carlisle indian
school, in Pennsylvania. She is half
breed, and is an unusually smart girl.
She is the real star of the playlet and
her ability as an actress is most pro-
nounced. Miss Rainey is, of course,
a member of the Shoshone tribe, and
still retains her full standing with this
tribe, but she has acquired much of the
white mans ways, during her college
stay. Along with the language she
picked up the methods of dressing
adopted by the pale faces, and this is
accumulated by her natural beauty,
though those who have seen her in her
garments almost sacrilege.
At Carlisle, Miss Rainey was noted
for her ability in amateur theatricals,
though such performances do not meet
with any great favor from the Indians
as such. Still, their tribal dances and
Indian ceremonies are practically stage
performances and hence it may be
said that the girl inherits her historic
ability through long line of ancestors.
Still the tribe froWned on her going
on the stage, and it took vast deal
the braves themselves to appear They.
both in the play and in travel, retain
all their usual characteristics, wearing
their blankets and making no conces-
sions to white civilization, but Miss
Rainey has quite given up the blank
ct, and clings to the attire of today.
In appearance, Miss Rainey shows
all the facial characteristics of her
race. She has reddish skin, the long
straight black hair, high cheek bones
and aquiline nose noted in all red
skins. She is small, however, and she
has inherited a certain refinement and
delicacy.
"a Modern Pocohontas" was one of
those fortunate discoveries of Martin
Beck, which shows his acumen. The
act was written and staged by Salt
Lake amateurs, and was shown there
to Manager w. r. Winch of the Or
pheum in that city. He was very
much impressed with it, and wired Mr..
Beck. The latter had look at the act
on his recent western tour, with the
result of its instant booking for the
Orpheum circuit After touring this
circuit it will be taken east for the de-
location of New York audiences.

HUBBY TWEAKED HER NOSE
As PASTIME, WIFE CHARGES

NEW YORK, July 6.-Several new
ways in which New York husbands
may vary the monotony Of married
life are disclosed in a suit begun yes
terday in the Supreme Court by Mrs.
Hannah p, Bases for a separation from
Henry Bases, a furrier in No. 13 Bleeck-
er street. The home of the couple is in
No. 135 West Forty-third street.
Mrs. Bases says one Of her husbands
"chief amusements" when they had
fuss was to catch her nose between
his thumb and finger and tweak it, As
he was a strong and stalwart man.
Mrs. Bases says. this amusement
was not only entirely devoid Of humor
so far as she was concerned. but ac-
tually caused her great physical pain
as well as mental anguish.
Scarcely we're they married In April,
1903, she says, ere he began to III treat
her. He insisted, she declares. in put
ting her through a course of discipline,
making her do all the cooking, though
he was well able TO keep a servant.
It Jared her, she tells the court, to
have him come home to dinner at
night and complain that the food was
too hot and then toss plates and all
dIouhu lut Iopil Nol only Aildlf says
Mrs. Bases, but hubby had the nerve
to get up the next morning and kick
because everything was too cold, where
upon he would smash a few more
dishes.
When the crockery was about all
gone, Mrs. Basses says. she went home
to her folk, but her husband persuaded
her to go back to live with him, only
to fall once more into his too-hot-or-
too-cold system Of calisthenics. She
tried to be a good cook, she says, but
it was no use. He boasted all the time.
she says, that he was going to be the
absolute master in his own household.
A man, she says he told her, should
be the master and the wife the SER
