Veterans of the Stage

Insurance company profited by the bounty
OF his admirers.
In 1890 there died an actor-author who
In the heyday OF his popularity was one Of
the most widely known men Of the stage
Dion Boucicault, an Irishmsn born in Dub
lin in 1922, whose theatrical career began
when he was ~ years old, with the produce
ton of London Assurance" over the au-
thorship Of which he and Brougham later
went to law. The veteran Boucicault will
be remembered as a playwright longer than
~ an actor, although he was a prominent
figure in the latter sphere Some of his
best known works were The Octoroon,"
The Colleen Bawn," Kerry" The
Shaughraun" THE Man OF Honor and
The Corsican Brothers" During the lat
ter years of his life he alienated the af
fections Of some Of even his closest friends
by his selfshness and egotism.
When the playgoer or the older genera
ton begins to talk of the good old days"
Of acting, in nine cases out OF ten before
the "reminiscences are completed the speaker
will say: And Charlotte Cushman! There
was an actress indeedv' And his estimate
of Charlotte Cushman is not the result of
the enchantment lent by the distance OF
the past. for few actresses have left such
an impression of histrionic power as Miss
Cushman in her favorite roles, Meg Mer-
rifles, Queen Katherine in Henry the
WIZ and Lady Macbeth. For nearly forty
years she was a leading figure on the
American stage and the occasion of her
farewell performance in New York in 1874
partook of the nature OF a civic event
There were poems and odes and speeches
and receptions on the stage after her great
sleepwalking act in Macbeth" and finally
bow and kissing of hands to the mob
from her hotel balcony where she went
after the ceremonies at the theater to wit
ness the fireworks which were being set off
In her honor. A ychronicler of the time
who happened to be on the balcony during
the pyrotechnic display relates that the
last piece was mammoth bust and that
Miss Cushman asked Mr. Tooker the man
ager Of the theater at which she had made
her final exit who is that?'' Miss Cush-
man" replied Tooker, that Is Shake
speare." Splendid" exclaimed Miss Cush-
man. 1t was a colossal bust of Boss Tweed
The theater management quite willing to
give Miss Cushman a send-off provided
the expense was not great. had secured
some leftover fireworks from a Tammany
Hall celebration.
Sir Henry Irving was veteran who can
be said to have died upon the stage. He
was born in 1886 and made his debut at q
as CASTOR in "Richelieu." From that time
until his death following the final curtain
of Thomas a Beckett in 1905 he was one
Of the most indefatgable workers the
theater has known and In those forty-nine
years of acting and producing he did more
than any other one man to raise the stand
ard of the stage and add dignity, poise and
honor to his profession. Irvings family
name was Brodribb, but he had it changed
to Irving by the courts. He first attracted
the attention of the critics as Rawdon
Scuddmore in Hunted Down" and his first
great hit, characterization which will live
as one of the finest on the modern stage.

story of Her Election as Treasurer

Slowly we are beginning to get some
new ideas regarding that amazingly tangled
subject the equal rights of women" In
Nebraska it has recently been decided that
a woman has a constitutional right to hold
official position in the state. She could
even hold the office OF governor-if she
could get it.

tinction of being the first woman to be
elected to the office of county treasurer

women have occasionally held the office
of county superintendent of schools in Ne
braska, but until Miss Jordan of Valentine,
the county seat of Cherry county decided
to run for the position of county treasurer
no woman had even dreamed Of running for
a political office of this nature. Miss
Jordan is n republican, and, though hut
30 years of age had already served for
ten years as n deputy in the office of the

pair OF thick stockings to put on at night
so that the shoes can be taken off.
How best to carry your outfit is an inn
portant question. 1t is not the weight that
tells SO much as the balance Of the load.
Some like to roll their baggage into a
blanket roll, and carry their provisions IN
a haversack, The objection to the roll is
the discomfort It causes about the neck and
the feeling Of oppression over the chest. For

straps for carrying, knapsack fashion.

In the line of dishes there should be a

Overfatness Condemned

Fat, or even fattish, women readers who
want to be in the mode this year must un-
derstand that the demand is for lines, not
curves, and govern themselves accordingly.
That ans OFF with the fat. 1t has be-
come Il oLty. Many are trying exercise or
dieting; but 1t is certain they will find
these methods too slow and unreliable. The
cheapest and safest way to get in form for
the Directoire mode is by means Of Mar
mola Prescription Tablets. Any druggist
Tor the Marmoa Co., 533 Farmer Bldg,
Detroit, Mich.) will give you large sized
case of these elegant little fat reducers,
containing a good, generous supply, for
seventy-five cents, and even this quantity
should be enough to make decided i'm
preston on your excess fat. Many have
lost much as a pound a day.
These Marmola Prescription Tablets may
be used with impunity and likewise perfect
confidence, for, being made strictly in ac-
cordance with the famous Marmola Pre-
scripton, they are, of course. quite harm
less. They are rather beneficial than other
wise, in fact, never disturbing the stomach
