and myself were the only American wo-
 men in the company that year. It was
 the season that MT Grau and Mn Savage
 joined hands in the management of the
 metropolitan. The following year I began
 my career as a star. The Red Feather
 and The Golden Butterfly were my best , known productions. Strange as it may seem, I've never had an emphatic hit You are rather frank about it "Why not? have been successful per sonally and my plays have made money, but have never had piece that aroused great enthusiasm. You see what mean
 have never enjoyed the sensation or turning people away for any great length
 of time.'
 "Wasn't The Red Feather a success?" "On the road but not in this city It was the same way with, The Golden Butterfly. No production ever received
 much more flattering notices, and yet we could not coax the people in." How have you been received in your present piece?"
 we did fine business on the road and it was decided to bring the play to
 this city The box office indicates .. a healthy interest in the piece. l think the music Is delicious"
 How do you spend your time when
 you are not at the theater?" fTelIy IQuCn llhe duy OlHCi guess. There's nothing very mysterious about my routine. I eat little, sleep a little, read a little and sew a little" And talk a little?"
 ''Not as much as would like, but, as have told you talking is bad for the sing ing voice. I save my voice as much as possible" e,
 Haven't you got single hobby con- cealed about you?"
 Mot any more. I was very fond of
 horses and spent great deal of time Tn the saddle, but I stopped riding several years ago. I got two or three bad falls, and I guess that cooled my ardor. One day I said to myself Heavens suppose one of these falls should break your nose? What would you do then? I couldn't con ceive of any manager wanting to engage a leading woman with broken nose, SO I gave up the sport"
 What led you to think you might land on your nose?" | TWO previous rehearsals had some thing to do with it," said the singer, with
 a laugh. 4 b

sticking to the same Thing

From the Newark Star.
 Police Judge Simon Hahn, while ad- dressing a political meeting in Newark, N. J., related the following incident in reference to telling the same tale over and over again:
 You all know" said the judge, that the speeches made at political meetings are all very much alike, but to get some- thing different is the proper thing now adays.
 ''It puts me in mind of case of wo- man who appeared before certain mag istrate and when asked her age said she was 30 See here madam, weren't you here before me five years ago. and did you not tell me then that you were 90 years old? The woman said that was so, and the judge asked her what she meant by coming before him and telling an un- truth.
 "The woman replied: Well. you see, your honor, I'm one of those kind of 'wo- men who do not believe in telling ono thing once and another thing another time" ift

garden will be a small one. just large enough to raise vegetables for our own use.
 We already have about 200 hens and an incubator. Betty has built several poultry houses and by growing corn to feed the fowl and raising hay for the live stock we can run the farm at less ex- rensc and there is always a good market for eggs and poultry.
 Compared with the city it doesn't cost hardly anything for a good living down here in the country. We have our own firewood. Betty cuts down the trees cuts them up, loads the wood on the wagon and after she gets 1t up to the house cuts 1t up. Helen has built mighty good wagon, at least the farmers around here say 1t is 0 good one, and after next sea- son I expect to stay at home all summer and do my share of the work I'll like 1t. of course, for life up here is heap better than knocking around on the road"

OOKs as if the prize for quick

r SOOKS as If the prize for quick | drssing will have to go to Miss A Grace Van studdiford prima donna of "The Paradise of Mafomet," now play ing at the Herald Square theater. Four minutes after she releases her last golden note from captivity she has made complete change of costume and is on her way home. At least that was the speed claim she put forth yesterday, and as she had just come from Paradise It IS inconceivable that she should resort to an earthly fib.
 Most men, especially the married ones' will be inclined to doubt the singer s claim, but she was the personification or earnestness when she made it. Seeing that her statement was about to be questioned, Miss Van Studdiford rein forced it by first crossing her heart and then her ankles, after which 1t would be not only unclubby but ungallant to doubt her veracity. .

Married men who have to lie in state for three or four hours while their better halves are getting hobbled, and hated will give the matter the deepest consideration and will then decide that 1t cannot be done. They will reach the unanimous conclusion that the singers watch has a Philadelphia movement.
 Truth compels the statement that less than ten minutes elapsed between the fall of the curtain on the tuneful per formance and the time that the actress was found in her dressing room all dressed for the street. When she was complimented on the lightning change she made the announcement which is bound to cause an argument in more than one household.

From the New York Times.
 The man who borrows trouble never gets out of debt.
 Our sins may find us out, but they can generally be depended upon to call again. Women write all their articles on how 2to manage husband before they get one. Some people get out of tune with the world because they constantly harp on one string.
 It's no wonder how often money is tight when you consider how much it goes into saloons.
 If were an inventor I would spend all my energies in trying to patent a collar button that would come when it was called.

MARKET CLOSES
FIRM; PRICES IN
LAST HOUR FAIR
Pool Manipulation in Various
Specialties Turned Course
of List Upward.

NEW YORK, Oct. The opening
prices on the Stock Exchange today
were somewhat below yesterdays final
rise, although the losses of the more
active issues were not large. United
States Steel. which closed yesterday at
ssh, opened with a block of 1000 at
5sis to $50. Western Union, Allls-
Chalmers preferred and Colorado
Southern preferred fell back a point
and American Smelling and Brooklyn
Transit y Union Pacific and Read
ing were unchanged.
IL a. m.-An inquiry for Reading,
which lifted 1t to a half point above
yesterdays closing, prompted an up
ward movement In the general market.
This was terminated by the unloading
of large blocks of L. $ Steel, which
gave way from 58k to 57#. Another
unsettling influence was the sensational
decline in Allis-ChalIners 5 per cent.
bonds, which opened 6h points lower
at so and receded to 50. The common
stock yielded rs to 4 and the preferred
21s to IA.
Noon-The market closed firm. Pur-
chases to cover with pool manipulation
of various specialties turned the course
of prices upward again and best fig
ures of the session We're reached. The
effect of the slump in the Allis-Chalm-
ers securities wore Off, despite a
further fall in the common stock to :,
a loss of 31s. American Tobacco pre-
ferred and affiliated issues were no
tably strong, and there was a contin-
uanee of the recent effective buying Of
American Beet Sugar and Pacific Tele-

ance with instructions from the gem

notary publics of Brule county have
had meeting for the purpose of or
ganizing for the big Rusebud regis

vide that none but those who had
notary commission and were actual
residents of the county in which the
registration town is located on the
lst of last July shall be eligible to
administer oaths. The notaries of
Brule county have therefore met and
elected the following officers: L. b.

pie weeks.
