PRACTICAL JOKERS
 TAUGHT ALESSON

Meridian, Miss, February 23.-(Speclal)- A practical joke played on two negro boys in this city last night came near ending seriously.
 Two or three gentlemen knowing the great fear and superstition of the negroes of Meridian with regard to the Medical college and the students, whom they think secure live subjects for dissection as well as dead bodies, stopped a couple of ne- groes on the street and asked them to ac- company them to the second story office of a prominent downtown building, telling them they wanted them to carry pack age.
 When up in the office the gentlemen be- gan to talk in whispers about dissecting subjects at the college. The negroes grew suspicious and when the gentlemen stepped out of the office, saying they were going for a knife the negroes, believing they had been selected for the enlightenment of science, made dash for the window of the room and plunged to the pavement below, taking glass, sash and all with them. One fell almost into the arms of policeman. NeitherSwas hurt except for the shock.
 The gentlemen playing the joke on the negroes were almost as much frightened as the negroes when they heard them jump from the window and are not likely to practice such a joke again soon.

AGLAIA SOCIETY
 HOLDS A MEETING


 The Aglaia Literary society of the
 Birmingham High school held it's regu- lar weekly meeting. This was the first programme on The Age of Chivalry." ." the topic to be discussed this semester. The papers which were prepared for
 the afternoon gave the club keen 1 insight into the manners and customs of the time when knighthood was in flower" An interesting paper on "The Knight was read by Miss Ola Higgins "A Day With My Lady," by Miss Mary Fabian showed the club members a typical lady, her dress and amusements in the age of chivalry. Miss Plaisted gave the club talk on '"rhe Court of the Nobility" She described both the interior and exterior of an ancient castle She also gave definite idea of the pastimes of the knights and
 ladies. The roll call was answered with apt quotations on the feudal system.

removed from that sort of life than any people I have ever known"
 "No training-no stock?" I asked.
 Practically none" said Miss Oaker, although I have played since in stock and the experience was among the most pleasant l ever had With Mr. William Farnum, whom perhaps you know, he and his brother, Dustin Farnum, are hay l ing such glorious success with The Lit l tlest Rebel Well, he and I were in stock | together for several seasons, presenting the classics, which to me was a liberal education in itself. Afterward I was with MT. James K. Hackett for quite a while, and then the role of 'Everywom- an was offered to me-
 "A vastly different variety of worl, from any that you had ever done before,' T 1 l suggested.
 But such a charming innovation" said l she. "Of course, the modern morality had had it's introduction in the English play, 'Everyman,' In which Miss Edith Wynne Mathison scored so triumphantly and it was closely followed by The Ser want in the House. The Passing of the Third Floor Back and Edwin Milton Boyle's Struggle Everlasting, but none has been more spontaneously received than 'Everywoman.' !"
 "The theme,' I suggested, "of womans quest of love is so strangely fascinating, of such world wide interest"
 That is it's simple yet elemental mo- tive,' said Miss Oaker. MT. Browne, the author of the play, carried the manu- script of it around for years, working out his own salvation, as it were. with it.. He eliminated all the gruesome details in the end that first infested it. There is spirit of brightness and gayety which doesn't make it so profound as it might be, and then the Elizabethan garb of dic- tion in which he has appropriately clothed it, Is of the slightest though most beau tiful texture and the blank, versfied lines contain no jaw breaking explosives, which most people hold in holy horror
 ''I think one of the most pathetic things that has, ever happened con- tinued Miss Oaker, lis the tragedy that surrounded the production of Every woman. Perhaps you read of how Mir Browne was unsuccessful in his many attempts to have it accepted by the the atrical profession and after years of strug- gling, at last saw the realization of his dream in sight. On the memorable day of the dress rehearsal for the pre- miere performance MT. Browne was taken III and on the evening .Everywom- an was produced in New York it's author was corpse, dying before he could see the most wonderful of modern plays pre- sented to the world.

"MODESTY? METHINKS SHE IS A STRANGER HERE," says Stuff, the Broadway Theatrical Manager, when Everywomans three vrginal companions YOUTH, BEAUTY and MODESTY per- sonifed-show their faces at rehearsal on the stage of his Playhouse. Modesty is not a stranger to Miss Jane
 While, that may be true in that case, Oaker who essays the role of Every woman" so pleasingly in the Play of that name, for it is her greatest charm.
 Above all, Miss Oaker is the last to re- late her successes and her triumphs on the stage.
 She modestlys says that she has nothing to tell, when as a matter of fact there is much to tell to her credit as an actress.
 Of striking grace and unusual charm. after few moments talk with Miss Oak CT (being in search of some emblem with which to describe her personality, one arrives quickly at the Rainbow"
 She is essentially a reflective medium.
 She flashes back smile.
 She holds suspended tear.
 Sensitive-she reflects the conditions about her.
 Ofiginal-she reflects the thoughts and emotions of strong, yet easily moved nature.
 Like the Rainbow-she is brilliant.
 Rainbow like. her personality is elusive.
 The seven shaded ribbon, spanning the sky has not more colors than she has moods, each as distinct, as different from the rest.
 Miss Oaker like Miss Laura Nelson Hall, who played the part of Every wcman'' in New York, is admirably suit ed to the role she portrays.
 She is tall, dark of vigorous physique, and in your imagination of the physical beauty of "Everywoman," measures up with large plus mark to her credit.
 When I was last in Birmingham" Miss Oaker was telling me yesterday shortly after she had arrived. 'I was playing in The Pit with MT. Wilton Lackaye."
 Was that your first appearance as an actress?' I asked.
 'Oh, no, said she. q made my first appearance in Shakespearian roles play ing with Louis James. In that school learned my lesson, as had never studied for the stage, my parents being farther

FOUR DAYS ON TRAIN
 WITHOUT ANY FOOD

Chicago, February 29.-Pietri Tessa, en route from San Francisco to Palermo, Italy, became almost crazed from lack of food aboard a transcontinental train at Joliet, III. He was taken from the train and brief treatment by physician and a meal restored him to his normal condition. Tessa went without food four days be- cause he was unaware that the train con- tained dining car, and because he feared the train would not stop long enough at stations for passengers to procure food at the depot lunch rooms.
 He was unable to speak English and this prevented him explaining his plight to members of the train crew. To an inter- preter at Joliet Tessa said he left San Francisco February IS. After he had been given written instructions regarding methods of procuring food on the re- mainder of his journey. Tessa resumed the trip to New York.
