BARI, UM'S VANITY
Author of New Book Describes an Interesting Moment in
 Veteran Show
 mans Life

The vanity of P. T. Barnum, the cir GUS king, provides an interesting chapter in Fifty Years in Theatrical Management, by M. B. Leavitt, who for many years was one of the country's most noted producing man. agers.
 Says MT. Leavitt in his book:
 -"Barnum will probably be regarded for all times as the uncrowned genius of the show world. He was a man of fertile idea, magnetic, of undoubt- ed ability and intelligence. It is diff f1cult to conceive how he could have face and figure were not those of an Adonis, yet for years he had his hair curled each day by a hair dresser, like a Beau Brummel and always wore shirt front with an abundance of frtlls, studded with diamonds. It Is not generally known that one of his first show experiences was ne- gro minstrel. He imported the great Swedish singer, Jenny Lind, and real ized small fortune from her. Amer fca owes to this effort of Barnum the prodigious strides sn music which inn mediately followed. He exploited Tom Thumb and many other famous Li1liputians.
 "Rarnum was a rich man, owning magnificent mansion on Fifth avenue, a vast plot. of real estate on Broad way, and a great tract of land and houses in Bridgeport, Conn. He ap- peared imbued with admiration for his own glory and popularity. He invited a friend to Niblo's theatre one night to see The Black Crook, saying to him: T hardly dare put myself in evidence; the pubic makes such fuss over me- They had no sooner en- tered the playhouse when Barntm said: Now the trouble will commence; in minute you will hear them all saying, There is Barnum; there he is!'' It annoys me and spoi.s my pleas ure.' They were conducted to seats where more than half of the audience could see them, but not murmur was heard. Barnum was completely non plussed; he stood up apparently to see what wonderfully large house. there was. He, even raised his voice a lit tie in speaking to his companion, but people were present to see The Black Crook, and not a soul paid the slight est attention to Barnum. Although he thought he was the greatest show on earth, he req 'ized that The Black Crook eclipsed him."

FROM ICY WATERS.
 PICKS MILL POND. James Wilson, Old Charcoal Burner Falls From Plank in the
 Darkness.
Especial to The Farmer. )


 Stratford, Dec. 1S-James Wilson, 71 years of age, a charcoal burner by occupation who lives near Peck'S Mill narrowly escaped death in the icy wa ters of Peck's Mill pond, Saturday night when he fell from a plank which he had laid across the creek to serve as a foot bridge. Wilson came from Bridgeport after dark and got off the trolley car at the Peck s Mill station He made his way over his accustomed short cut, but in the darkness he missed his footing on the D, ank and fell into the water. He went in over his head and when he rose he shouted for help. He was heard by George Webb and Douglass Wells, who hastened to his rescue and after strenuous efforts they managed to get him to the shore, which is nothing more than morass at this point. The three men foundered and finally lost their bearings. At temes they were in imminent danger of being mired and were getting deep CT into the swamp when the lights of a passing trolley car gave them their bearings and they reached solid ground a most exhausted.
 Wilson was loaded with supplies for a week, all of which he lost in the darkness. Yesterday he went over the ground and recovered some of his bun dles, but others either f1oated out in c the pond or were eaten by the wild beasts which infest the region. The trio had serious time and Wilson was soaked to the skin. Yesterday he was about, none the worse for his trying experience.
