A Story Of RrianoIi.

Praise went long way with
Brignoli. One evening at rehearsal
in New York the orchestra laid
down their instruments as one man
and applauded his singing of a fa-
vorite song long and vigorously. He
was much pleased and, advancing to
the footlights with many bow and
smile of satisfaction, said:
"Gentlemen, Immediately after
the rehearsal there will be a cham
pagne supper at the Everett House.
I hope / may have the honor to
meet you all there"
1t is needless to remark that they
were there, every man of them. The
supper cost Brignoi $500.

Her Sentiments.

1t is related of clergyman who
was the father of a charming and
beautiful daughter that one day
while preparing his Sunday sermon
he was suddenly called away from
his desk on a mission of mercy. The
sentence at which he left off was
this: 81 never see young man of
splendid physique and the promise
Of glorious manhood almost real
lied but my heart is filed with rap
ture and delight"
His daughter, happening to enter
the study, saw the sermon and read
the words. Sitting down, she wrote
underneath, EsMy sentiments, papa,

HARD TIMES FOR ACTORS
Producers Hold Off From New
Things and Thespians Suffer.

New York. Sept. 5.-That the the
atrical season of 1911-12 is to be
hard times" for stage folk is the
assertion of many actors here who
complain that the difficulty of OBJ
tanning employment this year is great
er than it has been for a decade.
There are today many we'll known
actors idle at what is usually the
most active period-actors whose SER
vices have been in demand and who
have seldom been without engage
ments Others who have signed con-
tracts are now awaiting delayed re-
hearsals, are in the same situation as
those without engagements.
The cause seems to be the tendency
on the part of producing managers
this year to hold back on the pro-
duction of new plays until they have
been able to feel the trend of theat-
rical business

Those who go much adeld do not
echo the poets who find Nature ever
sweet and peaceful. rebuke TO man
who strives and Qparrels and preys
upon man Indeed, the closer one gets
IT, he subdued life of the open the
more one is convinced that man suf-
fers less of war, less of tragedy and
cruelty, than the simple beings whose
lives are so often referred TO as high
examples OF happiness and friendly
toleranCe.
You will find In such books as Richr
ardson's Beyond the Mississippi, :"
written thirty or more years ago, de,
scriptions of the idealic household or
the prairie dog. The prairie dog dug
the house and the owl and the rattle
snake came TO dwell with him and
they all got along famously. When
naturaists got TO looking into the
case they found that the bird and the
serpent lived less with the prairie dog
then upon him. He was first their
landlord and then their meat.
Beginning with the lowest organ
isms it is found that ynimalcule make
larger forms their preys and are. in
turn, the main source of food OF many
higher forms. The caterpillar, SO de-
structive TO shade trees, reaches the
chry sails stage only if it has been
overlooked by bird and parasitic tiies.
The snail's protective covering Is no
assured protection, even from his
kind. Reptiles and small mammals
feed upon birds and birds eggs and
there are birds which prey upon rep
tiles and small mammals. Among
some Of the larger animals cannibal-
ism is the rule. That calm which
artists put upon the faces OF bears and
wolves aud lions when picturing them
as. IN their dens is more interesting
| than true.
Also in vegetable life the struggle
is perpetual. Trees fight for light
and food Lichens and vines wage
everlasting warfare upon tree life.
Parasitic growth attacks growing
grain. The smallest plant Of the for
est may perish in day If some
chance seed germinates at its roots
and either turns the weakling out &c
wither aud die or Obsoybs its little
store Of sap into its own substance.
In al the realm Of nature-speak.
ing Of 1t in the popular sense as al
out of -doors-there is nothing truly
akin to the>pity which exists among
men, no peace as we dream Of IL fol
ourselves.
