FORMS OF STAGE FRIGHT
Worst One Produces a Deviation of the Mouth Which Is Impossible
 to Overcome.

Among nervous diseases may be in- cluded stage fright. A physician, who is a specialist in the former, has just been featuring about the latter. He describes some acute forms of what French actors call "trac," one of the worst forms of which produces a deviation of the mouth which it Is i'm possible to overcome" The sufferers talk out one side of their mouths, and all their efforts to rid themselves of this nervous affection are fruitless." |" Their only remedy, one imagines. Is to give up acting. The lecturer quoted also, "twitches of the eye anS feverish palsy of the hands" as being among the results of stage fright.
 At the dress rehearsal of a play by sardou an actress violently scratched the hands of the actor with whom she was playing. saying, How nervous feelH" She must have got over her nervousness since then, for the actress was Mile Blanche Dufresne, who for many years has acted with Mime. Sarah Bernhardt Two tenors are cited who had splendid voices at re- hearsals, but could not get note out 
 on first nights-an unfortunate pre- dicament for singers-and had to leave the stage. Even the famous Got knew the "trac" The lecturer remembered his having had total lapse of mem ory during the whole of an act of a new play at the Theater Francais. But, while he could not recollect single word of the dialogue, and took every word he spoke from the prompter, who gave him the text. he could fill in in attitude and gesture perfectly. But the worst case on record of stage, or platform, fright was that of lee turer of bygone days, or an intending lecturer, Alfred Assolant.

CAREER OF MAN WHO STARTED
 AS PENNILEss BOY.
None of the MIIIIonalres of the Old School Had Such Picturesque Personality as Late
 Frank Work.

New York.-Frank Work is dead He was almost the last to die of that little company of American million aires who started life as penniless boys. He ran away from home when he was g years old with $5.S0 in his pocket and he died at 92 worth many millions and with the original 50 gold piece still in his possession
 Perhaps none among these Amer ican millionaires of the old school had such a picturesque personality as Work His fast horses were the talk of former years. His ruddy face, sur mounted by its snow white hair. was known everywhere in New York.
 He was born in Chillicothe, O., and showed his independent spirit by leaving home when his mother whipped him because he had been such bad boy in school that the teacher had whipped him. Two whip pings in one day were too much. He never saw his mother again. He worked his way down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans, where he began as an errand boy He grew up in that city. saving his original $5 gold piece and gaining an education and a livelihood at the same time. But he early saw that the southern metropolis did not give him the chance he wanted, so he moved to New York.
 Here he entered Wall street and when Jim Fisk and Jay Gould and Daniel Drew were making their for tunes he was also busy making money. He became the head of the brokerage house of Work, Sturgis & Strong, and while he did not become the master of one of the worlds greatest fortunes, he was still many times a millionaire.
 In the days of his Wall street activ- ity he was regarded as bold plunger and a good loser. No slump or panic could deter him from the course his judgment pointed out as best and this

MARRY WEALTHY FARM GIRLS
indiana Teacher Tells Rising Genera ton How to Become Successful
 and Prosperous.

Kokomo, Ind.-A unique solution of the problems that confront young man who wishes to become a prosper ous and practical farmer was given be- fore the Howard County Farmers in stitute here by Edwin C. Druley.
 Others had suggested that the young man must cater to society and tke theater and get acquainted with "city folk" but MT. Druley brought the dis cussion to an abrupt close when he said:
 "The best thing for young man like that to do is pick out wealthy farmer, get a job on his farm. then marry one of his daughters"
 That remark brought considerable laughter, but it was said with serious ness. Sam Lovejoy, speaking on the same subject, said:
 "The young farmer must go in SO ciety bit, attend shows and smoke a trif1e, otherwise he Is not in it these days"
 This brought a sharp retort from O. L. Gates, who shouted:
 ''No young farmer ever smoked him. self into success or procured farm by attending the thSater splitting and chewing, nor did he ever roll the soil out by shuf1ing cards. By econ omy and good management young man may buy a farm"

SCORES CITY GIRL TEACHER
Joseph Chapman, Jr., of Minneapolis, Declares Her to Be Menace to
 Agricultural Prosperity.

Chicago.@"The city girl who goes into rural communities to teach is a menace to the agricultural future of the nation. She strikes at the back bone of the country's prosperity
 From her position on the rostrum of the little red schoolhouse the teacher from the city turns the thoughts of her boy pupils into other channels than those leading to the raising of cattle and corn. The soil will be remedied by the passage of the consolidated rural school bill now before the Minnesota legislature"
 Joseph Chapman Jr., vice-president of the Northwestern National bank of Minneapolis, pictured the city girl in this new role in a talk. His views were expressed in a discussion of the subject of Agricultural Education and Vocational Training" at the week Iy luncheon of the ways and means committee of the Chicago Association of Commerce in the La Sale hotel.
 "The present system of education trains boys away from the farm, {" said the speaker. "As a result of this 10uu6QCS on HIS Llluu dI CTlIlCdl pC- riod, the boy fails to see later the possibilities that lie in the scientific development of farm land. and. believ- ing his future lies in the city, soon deserts the life of tilling the soil"
 In the establishment of agricultural high schools MT. Chapman sees the only hope of overcoming the preju- dice against the farm and in getting out of the soil what it really owes to the country. He advised Illinoisans to take heed of the situation.
 Ten agricultural high schools were provided for in Minnesota two years ago." he said. '1n a canvass of the state we could not find enough teachers to man the schools. We had to go to Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska and other states, six states in all, to get teachers. Ten more schools will now be established
 We must turn back to the soil keep close to the dirt-if we are to continue as a prosperous nation. In the rural consolidated schools agricul- ture is going to have it's place"

struction of artificial lakes, ponds, etc, the park was put into its present beautiful state at the small cost of $25,000.
 Of a more pretentious character. and situated in a more central part of the city, Major Hill park Is today the finest part of the city. From this park one gets an excellent view of the dominionf parliament buildings. The park was recently greatly improved by the erection of Chauteau Laurie, a $1,500.O00 hotel. The improvement commission Is alert to the future of the city, and has taken measures to keep the park in excellent order.
 Another commendable work under taken by the commission recently is Nepeau Point park, the highest point in the city with a possible exception of Parliament hill. which rises over 250 feet above the level of the Ot- tawa river. Nepeau Point park Is famous as the place where centuries ago Frontenao planted his flag. All royal salutes and the daily call to the troops are fired from this point
 The last piece of work undertaken by the commission is the beautifca- ton of Parliament hill. For years this magnificent site was marred by a number of shabby old buildings clus- tering around its base. The commis- sion will during the coming summer have all these buildings removed and the entire area along the canal locks and around the hill turned into a park. They hope to continue the driveway around the base of the hill. thus com pleting the finest public drive in Can ada.
