TOOK HIS FATHERS PLACE.
The Night Edwin Booth First APP
peared as Richard III.

Between the ages of fifteen and
eighteen Edwin Booth was almost con-
stantly the intimate companion of his
father, Junius Brutus Booth the elder.
That fathers eccentricities were such
as to tax even the devotion of such
a son, but Edwin's affectionate care
never failed. He used to beguile the
tragedian's time following his arduous
performances by playing the violin or
singing negro ballads, accompanying
himself on the banjo. Many times he
attended his father on long walks be-
tween midnight and morning In 1851,
on certain night, the father was
booked to appear as Richard HI at
the National theater, New York. An
hour before the time for the curtain
to rise he chose to lock himself in
closet at his hotel and refused every
persuasion his son could offer to keep
his engagement.
In despair Edwin rushed to the the
alter to explain his fathers absence.
The house was already filed. The
manager was distracted and in his
excited questioning of the boy acct
! dentally learned that the tragedian
had fippantly told Edwin to go and
act Richard himself. We'll take him
at his word" said the manager. And
the frightened boy was FASTENED to
the stage and helped into his fathers
Gloster costume, several sizes too big
] for him. Members of the company
gave helpful encouragement.
The play opened without an explana-
ton to the audience. When Edwin
made his entrance for the opening solil-
oquy the substitution was immediate
ly recognized. but so also was the boy,
for Edwin had several times appeared
in lesser parts, notably that Of Tressel
In the same play, in which role he
made his very first appearance. The
audience was kindly tolerant for a
time, then interested and finally enthu-
siastic, for Edwin Booth, although only
eighteen years of age, played Richard
worthily, revealing many flashes of
that brilliant genius that afterward
made him a star of much greater emf
nence than his father had ever achiev-
ed. On the strength of this success
Edwin Booth was soon engaged by
the manager of Baltimore stock COM
pany to play any part assigned to him
at the enticing salary of So per week.
Small as that pay was, Edwin Booth
later on in the far west experienced
deprivation that would have been i'm
measurably relieved by an even small
er income.-Kansas City Star.

IL blindfolded. He has TO feel for the
keyhole with his forefnger. Then an
other cadet places his head between
mouth and bites the finger till it's own
er bowls.
Star gazing consists in being made to
watch the stars at night through
coat sleeve held like a telescope by
two cadets A third cadet then pours
glass of muddy water in at top of
the sleeve.
When a cadet is guilty of behavior
unbecoming to q gentleman, disgraces
his class by some breach of etiquette
or commits some petty theft he is
generally sentenced by the "holy
vehm," or '.court of honor" to the
rod. The penalty is applied ruthless
ly, a gag being placed in the punished
mans mouth to stife his cries for
help.
Of all the forms of hazing the most
brutal perhaps is the gauntlet of fire.
The freshman upon whom that punish.
ment is to be visited is kept in a dar&
rOOIQ dSIIlUe WUOuel Chilli, W NIl1u
he is securely fastened. In the next
room his tormentors are twisting news
papers into imitation torches, which at
a given signal they light with matches.
When the torches are burning brightly
they form themselves in two lines;
another signal is sounded. the door Of
the dark room is thrown open, and the
freshman is ordered to ride between
the lines, while he is mercilessly
dashed with flaming brands.
However quickly he may run the
gantlet, by the time he has reached
the end of the blazing pathway his
hair, his eyebrows and lashes have
been singed to the skin, his eyelids are
scared and swollen, his lips blistered
his uniform hopelessly damaged
One of the surgeons in attendance
covers up the sores with bandages
and sends the singed plebe to the in
Urinary for couple of days The of
fetal report mentions the explosion of
an alcohol lamp or some other acct
dent of like nature.
Not infrequently those "boyish
pranks" have tragic ending. More
than once cadets have been crippled
for life, and there are two cases on
record where death was the direct re
suit of ho1seplay carried too far.-New
York Tribune.

In which the science of hazing in mil

Development. The army plays in the
fatherland's life part the Importance
of which can hardly be realized by an
untrayeled American. Military service
is compulsory, and in time of peace
100000 men are kept armed, uniformed
and drilled. To command that huge
contingent $4,000 commissioned officers
are necessary.
This large officer corps has developed
customs, ethics, even morality, OF its
own. These customs and ethics are
initiated at an early age by the boy
who aspires to enjoy the veneration
which German officers generally re-
ceive from the populace. Imitation
In young man usually means exag-
geration, and some of the little mil
itary snobs are on their first day at
school joy to behold. Very soon,
however, the precocious stiffness is
taken out OF them.
A harmless though repulsive form Of
hazing cadets whose appetite verges
on gluttony is called bacon swallow
ing" The plebes to be victimized are
lined up on the grounds surrounded
by group of second year men. A
slice of raw bacon is tied to a piece
of string, and the plebe whose name is
drawn first is made to swallow the
unappetizing morsel. When the sick

his throat threatens to nauseate him

the eight regulars who have been Sc

adding the ordinary average of pitch

average will be lowered somewhat,

LINEUP COMPLETE.

Since our last issue the local base
ball ASSOCIATION has pulled off few
more deals. Chas. Cogswell has been
purchased of Flint, Mich. He is a
left fielder and last season batted sol
and fielded .952 in SO games. He
made los hits of which 80 were for
extra bases.
John Brown, a second baseman, was
also purchased of Flint. Last year
Brown batted $50 and fielded 952 in
l3S games. He made 126 hits, of which
IS Melted 53 extra bases. With the
purchase Of the latter player it looks
as if Wausau will have a strong in
field, and there is hardly any doubt
about the ability of the outfeld to
take care of itself.
The local association he's also sold
Cahill to Rockford and in exchange
has received Howard Ireland, an OUT
fielder who has been playing in the
WI. league for several years, ard q
bunch of cash. Ireland can also work
behind the bat

makes the lineup complete, except
