A QUEER SORT OF PLANT

IN the desert of Sonora, Mexico, plant, called the
guarequi, which is said to excel the camel in its
ability to husband its water supply.
This plant is relative of the squash and pumpkin,
and inhabits locality wherein practically all rain
falls within period of six weeks. The base of the
stem is swollen to form hard, woody structure which
in time attains the size of large squash The gray of
the sands of Sonora is initiated in the color of the
covering of the which presents the appearance of
worn gray boulder projecting above the sand, and
the structure is almost as hard as stone.
1t is really nothing more than veg etable reservoir
designed to hoard up the scanty moisture and to
ercse due thrift in doing out the precious fluid to its
advantage in time of need In many instances this
stored mixture would be the most precious thing earth
to man or beast; but natives sly the liquid is poison
stems C the plant die down. the small dry up and

burning sands throughout the long hot days of nine
rainess months With the of the rainy the
plant rapidly reforms its roots STEMS leaves and flowers
completes its brief of activity, and quickly
relapses into another long sleep under the cloudess sky
1t is not always necessary that the plant be awakened
by the falling rain in fact by the application of mos
in any form. This has been proved concusvey by
the action of specimen that placed in of the
cases exhibited the botanical ga den in Washington
The year following its installation n 1905, and annu-
ally since them at the return of the rainy its

ture in its glass prison, has in mysterious way
heard the call of Nature and responded by sending up

these things must be done. And when you get to the

But of the chorus girls life on the road is va
red Now and then she falls i'll. This varies the
notony lot as playing with ones temperature at a
hundred and three degrees is novelty. The illness,
however, is really of the happiest things of girls

Out the season..
There are many other similar
cases to which l could allude,
where the unknown chorus girl
of one moment is the prima
donna of the next. But it is
luck, plain luck. Generally the
chorus girl with the good voice
goes through a whole season
without getting a chance to
show it, and by that time her
ambition is a little wilted.

such conditions? 1t is the peculiar fascination of the
stage probably the idea that day she will succeed
by luck of sort, that keeps the chorus girl going
| ought not, suppose, try to discourage the little
shopgr too much. The chorus must be recruited and
very often girl does achieve her ambition and jump
into good position, work her way up to it.
The instances many. There was Lolita Faust, for
instance, who died recently after having reached
viabe position soubrette Seven years before that
Miss Faust had been cashgrl in Brooklyn store and
firing of her surroundings, had gone into the chorus
She attracted attention from the start for she
ceedingy pretty and graceful, and when The Wizard

for pretty girl to understudy the leading soubrette hit
on Miss Faust Everyone remembers how she made
such hit with her Sammy" song and from that time
she never needed to hunt for engag ement

do anything better.
I'm SO discouraged" she
said. II got an engagement
with a show in August, and
rehearsed six weeks. 1t was a
failure, and we closed after
three weeks. They gave me
another engagement, and l
rehearsed four weeks. We
closed in four. I've rehearsed
and opened with two more
shows since then, and here it
is summertime and I've had
only fourteen weeks salary all
season. I'm rehearsing with
another show for the summer,
and nobody can tell how long
that will last"

be done. Either the company is going remain in the
town overnight, in which you may enjoy the hos
pitaty of the hotel else the departure directly
after the performance In this you go to the sta

all night.

from not being able to have the use OF
their trunks and what clothing they have
packed in them. The management can
not be bothered with too much baggage
on these daily shifts of base; SO the
trunks are left in the last big city, and
will be delivered only when another
weeks stand is played. But of course
one soon becomes accustomed to this
deprivation, and it is wonderful what
one can get along without.
By the time the season is over and
the company has returned home, the
average girl who has gone into the chorus
with an idea that it is pleasant expert
ence and delightful way to earn ones
living has had the idea pretty well dis
sipated. She has saved little or no
money, and must look for a summer en-
gagement to keep herself alive. She is in
need so greatly that she will accept al
most any engagement. Her wages as

chorus it is different. At the best, in she
engagement at once she will have another five
six weeks of rehearsal without salary.
And she does not always find another engagement at
once either Nor does her original always last
any considerable length of time In every there
are more failures than successes and it is not unusual
for the chorus to rehease weeks to play only two
three on salary.
