ON WITH THE ACT.
A Glimpse Behind the scenes During
"A Stage Rehearsal.
From Hsrrer's Weekly.

From Hsrrer's Weekly.
All had talked themselves to the verge
OF nervous prostration, when the director
suddenly called for the act all over again.
This time II went with snail-lke slow
ness, feeling It's way over the stage with
sensitive antennae waving IN every diree-
ton TIT It was stopped abruptly by
small but apparently insurmountable OBJ
stacle. That was the breakfast scene. It
was all too brief for verisimilltude, and
the burden of breaking il up fell upon
the child actor.
The manager rose in his seat with arms
extended like a prophet Of evil, and
shouted.
That scene will fall dead IL the boy
can't choke on his gass Of milk hard
enough 10 make every one jump up from
the table.'
Immediately every one jumped UP from
the table and gathered round the child
actor. to show him how to choke.
Perfect" exclaimed the author. If
they were only trying to stop instead or
start him."
Yes" retorted the manager; they'll
never do It that well tomorrow night
even II the poor kid should choke TO
death by any chance"
But the mere child actor proved inca
pable Of more than a mild cough or two
The little director. extending one hand
and running the other through hts hair,
descanted shrilly. down in front, on the
art OF choking as distinct from coughing
Then he himself rushed through the box
door upon the stage. took the child's seat
at the table. and gave a perfectly horrify-
ing exhibition OF choking. The more the
director choked the less could the child
actor. till he began TO choke down tears
and then. in sheer desperation. and some
pity, the director clambered over the foot
lights into the orchestra and said, re-
signedly: well. go on with the act"

LUCKY MEDICINE HAT.
Good Fortune that Attended Ambi-
tiOus Little Canadian Town.

tiOus Little Canadian Town.
". Lacey Amy. IN wide-world Magazine.
Early in 1891 Sir William Van Horne.
then president OF the railway. lent to
the city Of Medicine Hat a drilling out
ht for the purpose Of ascertaining wheth-
er there was coal within reach. When
the drin had reached $50 feet gas was
struck. but the moisture in il necessitated
more trouble IN the matter Of intercept
ing tanks than was profitable In 1906
however, the city determined 20 dig deep
er in the hope Of securing a larger. dryer
flow
A bylaw was passed to raise the nee
essary money. Medicine Hat was then
only a town Of a couple Of thousand
people, and the expenditure was a terri
bic drain upon its finances. As the well
sank deeper and deeper the fund grew
smaller and smaller. The citizens and
the members Of the council gathered by
the little pipe day by day and watched.
with eagerness and foreboding. the drill
drop. drop, drop within the pipe. But
nothing came exert a few little purs Of
gas that promised nothing. Lower the
drill sank; fewer grew the dollars
Finally the money was all gone and the
town was face 10 face with bankruptcy
or a serious tax rate The councillors
went home sadly, amid the mutterings
Of the people
That night a special session Of the
city officials was convened. The treas
urer held up an empty purse, and they
know well that ro+ opotbo- -. -z..,z
be drawn from the people Into the
earth had been sunk thousands OF dol
lars that would return nothing, and the
citizens threw the blame for the non
success Of the venture on the officials.
The well-driller begged for few more
feet. The mayor considered. Then.
with the inspiration OF a prophet. he
turned his back on the legal tecnicali-
ties and ordered the well boring 10 pro-
coed. Already It was down a thousand
feet: it was a terrible risk to. spend more
money, and Illegal to boot, but he took
the risk
Next morning the miracle happened.
To this day they tell OF 1t. At 9 O'Clock
the citizens were electrified at the sight
OF the mayor, coatless and hauess, rush
ing from his harness store up the center
OF the road, vainly striving 10 over
take a workman in better training 100
yards ahead The citizens, seeming
something unusual. joined in the chase.
At the we'll everything was going up in
the air. At Just 500 feet a terrific flow
of dry gas had been struck-a flow that
registered. when they got it under con-
troll 100 pounds pressure in eighteen sec
onds. $50 pounds in forty seconds, $50
pounds in one minute and twelve sec
onds. Their eyes began to bulge as the
register ran up 300, 400, 500 and finally
stopped at 500 pounds to the square inch.
That mayor is living yet but he smiles
when you ask him what would have
been his chances Of escape from the in
furiated citizens, with one train a day
out Of Medicine Hat. if the gas had not
come. That is merely one Of the chances
they take in the Canadian West.
