S. Y. Gordon, republican candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, spoke to a
crowded house in Anoka on Tuesday
evening, Oct. IS, and met with a grand
reception. The following were his re-
marks:
We OF Minnesota have but recently
settled cur differences within the part
les in the primary election and have
now set about to settle at h polls
our differences between the parties.
All OF us are American citizens and
most Ct us have the welfare of the
state ard nation at heart, but differ
honesty as to the proper political
course to pursue, and this divides us
into parties. Some of us are Republic
ans, some Democrats, other Prohibl-
tionists, and when We align ourselves
with a party we ought to have a rea-
son for doing so. This reminds me
of the story of the school master in a
western Tennessee settlement who had
drilled d number of his brightest pupils
In the history of contemporary politics,
and to test their faith and their knowl
edge, he called upon three of them N
day and demanded a declaration OF
personal political principles.
You are a Republican, Tom, are
you not?" Inquired he of the first.
YES, Sir" was the reply. 'And Bill,
you are a Prohibitionist, l believe
Yes, Sir" said Bill. And Jim, you
are a Democrat" Yes, Sir" said Jim.

Doesn't Go Nowadays

DOES this sort OF advertising pay? Man
- ayers used to think so, and the advance
agent who could concoct the widest schemes
Of booming the play OF the star was the one
who received the highest salary. The man
who dreamed OF milk baths for Anna Held
enioved the results IN the way Of increased
emolument and steady engagements. In
that particular instance | have no doubt
that the happily thought out invention
worked well; but IN the majority Of cases,
since the public has become better educated
IN things theatrical as well as wiser IN all
matters concerning advertising, believe that
circus methods have anything but beneficial
results. Except IN the cases Of clown come
dams and Aashy comic opera sOubrettes, the
public likes 10 regard lis stage entertainers
as seriously inclined people, who look upon
their profession with respect. and do not
countenance being advertised by diamond
robberies OF rescues Of old ladies from be
meath the hoofs Of prancIng steeds.
The managers have come TO realize this

fashioned advance man has passed, and his

Billing the Star

RUI there is one trick the old fashioned
advance man used to play to good adj
vantage that the advance man Of TO-DAY
still uses.
1t IS often one of the duties of the man
ahead OF the show to secure hotel accom-
modatlons for the star, so that she or he NAV
not be troubled about engaging rooms. or
even II the advance man has not done this
he makes sure to find out at what hotel the
star IS going to stop and acts accordingly.
Having plastered the city thoroughly with
Autographs Of his star, he will then devote
special efforts on that portion leading from
the railroad station to the stars hotel. The
fences along the route the actor or actress
must travel will be covered with his billing
the bare walls will shrek with his name and
face, and the hotel lobby will contain at
least one big, smashing photograph or poster.
And the street leading from the hotel to the
theater will be similarly treated; so that the
star, going to work, will see how the advance
man has worked and will say:
Well, he certainly has done it thorough
ly! I'm the best billed attraction in this
this town, all right"
And, as he says this, the man ahead of the
show is a hundred miles away, in some other
town, doing the same things over and over
again but with at least one set purpose-to
make a showing along the routes his star
viii take.
New-York tribune., 1910-07-24
The Tragedy in the Box

TRAGEDY has resulted from some Of the
best arranged schemes Of the press
agent. Such an instance occurred at the
American Theater IN New York some seven
or eight years ago. The publicity promoter
OF the attraction had arranged for a Young
man TO rise IN a box as the woman star was
singing a song and pretend to take poison.
Then the story would come out that the
man was much IN love with the star, had
written her many fervid notes, and had been
told not to bother her any more. The notes
were already prepared and had been re-
ceived by the star by mail. She knew moth
ing OF the plot TO boom her in the papers.
Well, according TO schedule, the young
man rose in the box, and, before the crowded
house, put q small vial to his lips and drank
the contents. Then he fell to the floor OF the
box, and the excitement that was expected
to ensue came along. But when the doctor
arrived they found that the young man had
actually taken poison, a good dose, and only
for their hardest efforts he would have died
an involuntary suicide. The press agent
was obliged TO confess his share in the plot,
and besides losing his position he was fortu-
nate to escape imprisonment

was IN 1890, when Hoyts "A Temper

a member of the New HAMPSHIRE Leoisla
ture, and had been much perturbed because
his fellow solons had seen fit to make the
States appropriation for a building at the
World 5 Fair in Chicago only five thousand
dollars. He thought it ought to be twice
that much, and said so on various occasions
On one OF these his advance agent. who
chanced TO be III town, suggested a brilliant
scheme.

Hoyt tell IN with the plan, and the entire
outfit left Boston in the morning and ar
rived at Concord, New Hampshire. where a
special performance was arranged for. The
Legislature was IN session when the COM
pany arrived, and HOyt thought he would
make the best OF his time; so he went TO the
Capitol and made his speech for the en-
larged appropriation, after which he an
nounced that the performance would be
given at once at Whites Opera House. few
steps from the State House The pleased
legislators hurried over and saw the plav;
but when they got back to the State House
and voted on Hoyt's motion for a bigger ap-
preparation, they buried it almost unani-

The reason was that they had taken the
play, which was satire on the Vermont
prohibition law, as an affront not only to
New Hampshire's sister State but to them
selves as well, and had recognized many
New Hampshire characters in the piece, 50

CARRIED OFF BY A LION

TWO men at least have given accounts of
their sensations when they were carried
off by liOns,-the great explorer Livingstone
and man named Wolhuter, a ranger of
game preserves in the Transvaal Wolhut-
er S adventure IS not secondary in interest
to LlVlngstOne's experience. His story.
which was attested by the certificate of the
magistrate Of the district, was substantially
as follows:
He was riding along Kahr path about an
hour after sunset. 1t had been a long march,
and he had pushed on ahead of his com
paniOns. His dog barked at something, and
a moment later Wolhuter saw a lion crouch
ing close to him on the right-hand side The
ranger turned his horse sharply, circum-
stance that no doubt caused the lion to miss
the spring.
WOlhuter was unseated At the same
moment he saw another lion coming from
the opposite direction. The horse rushed
off, with the first lion in pursuit, and the
second hon picked Wolhuter up almost be-
fore he touched the ground, and gripped him
by the right shoulder in such position that
he was face up, with his legs and body drag
ging underneath the beast. The lion trOtted
down the path, utterlng a loud, growing
purring noise.
VOLUNTEERS sensations were not those of
LlNlllSSIOIltr WHO SGllb iIt Was III q state OI
apathy, with entire absence of pain, during
the time the lion had him. The game ranger
suffered terribly, both mentally and physi-
cally. and saw no possible way of escape.
The lion took him nearly two hundred yards.
Suddenly WOlhuter bethOught him of his
sheath knife. which he carried in his belt be
hind his right hip. On reaching large tree
with OverhangIng roots the lion stopped,
whereupOn Wolhuter stabbed him twice in
the right side with his left hand. 1t was as
certained afterward that the first stab touch
ed the bottom of the heart, and that the sec
ond one slit II down for some distance.
The lion Immediately dropped Wolhuter,
and again the game ranger struck him, this
time in the throat, seVerIng an artery.
The lion Jumped back and stood facing
him. growing Wolhuter scrambled to his
feet, shouting at the top of his lungs, He
expected the beast to come at him again;
but it did not. Instead, it turned slowly.
and, still growing, went few PAGES. Soon
its grOwls turned to means; these, IN turn,
ceased; and the ranger knew that the beast
was then dead.
WOhuter got up the tree as fast as his in
iured arm would permit, and hardly was he
seated when the first lion, which had been
after the horse, came back on the trail OF
blood. BY this time the pluclIy ranger was
so faint that he tied himself to the tree to
prevent himself from falling out.
He was found by his companions, who
took him to a place of safety. The lion he
had killed was an old male, and the weapon
used was an ordinary sheath knife.
