DIVINE SARA" COMPLETES
TOUR OF AMERICAN CITIES
Noted Actress Graphically Describes Her Reception
on Positively Her Last Trip.

New York June 1S.-Completing tour
of 25,O00 miles, visiting 103 American cities
and incidentally gathering In $4,000 Amer
lean dollars, Sarah Bernhard arrived in
New York to-day in preparation for her
final week in America at a New York
theater. Although the great actress is
nearly sixty-seven years, old, she showed
no i'll effects of her strenuous tour, ex-
cept to have lost fifteen pounds in weight,
and this perhaps, has only added to the
charm of her figure.
Certainly she has not lest any Of her
enthusiasm for work that has charac-
terized her career for years, and she fairly
bubbled over with the joy of living as
she recoGnted to correspondent some of
her adventures on this, her positively
last trip In Montreal she had sleigh
ride over the ST. Lowrence river with the
thermometer 25 below zero.
She never objects to staying up all night
and proved it at least on two occasions
once at Pittsburg, Pa, where she visited
the steel works al Homestead about 3
O'Clock in the morning, and on another
occasion when she took a jaunt hunting
for alligators in the neighborhood of New
Orleans.
Always Doing Something.
AS one recalls some of the things that
this actress of sixty-seven did in the
thirty-five weeks of her last-positively
the last-American tour, exploring copper
mines, shooting alIigators in the Missis-
sippi bayous, climbing mountains, ard
firng at birds on the wing with silver

BUTTON WORKERS
LOYAL TO UNION

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 14.-In-
formation reaches A. f. of l.. headquar-
tiers that Button Workers Protective
Union No. 1854 of AIuscatine, Iowa,
is still pluckily maintaining itself
against the lockout precipitated by their
employers over month ago.
Correspondence from the secretary of
this union. Miss Pearl McGill, conveys
the information that many misleading
reports are emanating from sources, sus-
pected to be inspired by the employers,
which does injustice to the button work
ers. 1t is stated that the locked out
men and women have conducted them
selves in an exceedingly quiet manner
during the entire course of the contest.
1t is quite possible that interests mimi
cal to the employees are using every eff
fort to discredit and dist ourage the
members of the Button Workers union.
Conditions in this industry have been
very bad for years and finally reached
a climax few weeks ago in the or
ganization of the great bulk of button
workers in the city mentioned.

little town she had advertised

when she noticed among the list OF new ar
rivals at the hotel the name of the Abbe
Liszt How could she get out of the diff
fully into which she had brought herself?
Her fraud could not fail to be discovered,
and she would not be able to give any more
concerts; she already saw her future ruined.
Trembling all over, she presented herself
before the maestro to confess to him her
trickery and deceit, and to impore his par
don. She threw herself at his feet, and,
with her face tathed in tears, related to him
her past history. An orphan at very early
age, poor, possessing nothing but her talent,
the young girl thought she could only sur
mount the obstacles which beset her path
by making use of the name of Lszt.
"Wel, well" said the great musician, help
ing her to rise 1--WE will see, my child, what
W, can do. There is a piano; let me hear

cert"
She obeycd the maestro sat down beside
her, gave her several hints, suggested some
changes, and when she had finished her piece
said to her.
Now, my child, ] have given you a music
lesson; now you are pupil of Iszt."
Before she could stammer out few words
of gratitude Liszt asked her:
"Are the programs printed"
"No, sir; not YETI
Then put on the program that you will be
assisted by your master and that the last
piece will be performed by the Able Lszt."
vulgar disposition would have gladly en-
blaced this opportunity to punish the poor
young girl, who, doubtless, would have de-
served it, for so impudently using Liszt's
name. But charity is ingenious to cover a
multitude of faults-to turn evil into good

the Curtain

Let's peep behind the curtains.
When evening lamps are lit,
And play the spy in happy homes
just for little bit:
Perhaps we'll be astonisbed
At what we see at night,
Discover how some great men act
When out of public sight.
Who is this very portly man,
Crouched down behind a chair?
Why, that grave and learned judge
Pretending he's bear;
He has unbent his dignity ...
For his grandchildren two,
Who play grandpa is in a cage,
And they are at the ZOO"
And as we go the merry rounds,
Another peep indoors
Reveals a well-known editor
A-crawling on "all-fours,"
While on his back a laughing boy
Sits CALAMITY astride,
For papa makes famous horse B..
Around the park to ride.
Here, in this room, man Of trade,
In business hours thought gruff,
With handkerchief tied DER his eyes,
Gropes round in blind mans bluff;
On tiptoe light two fairly girls
And one small, giggling boy
Are dodging fathers outstretched arms
In ecstasies of Joy.
But not alone in great mems, homes,
Meath humble roofs as welf
In peeping here and there we find
A riotous pell-mell;
For papa, after supper's Ger,
Though tired in Drawn and brain,
Yields to his youngsters and becomes
A romping boy again.
All! happy men, whose hearts keep young
Thrice happy children they
Whose fathers will at eventide
Join in their childish play;
And though he may be rich in store,
And high in his estate,
Who has no youthful sympathies
Is never truly great.
