MAD STEER ATTACKS WOMAN
Red Petticoat lnflames Animal TO the
Point Of Making Vigorous
Protest.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-A dove of

band and drover comprised the cast
of characters in as lively a one act
drama as was ever Witnessed In real
life anywhere, The pity is that the
act was not immortalized by the cam
era man.
The drover came along the road in
to Falls View with the cattle. In the
bunch was one obstreperous fellowthat
had been acting up bad all afternoon.
Whenever he came to a cross road he
decided to take 1t whether it was
right or wrong
Away over in a field was a small
shack domicile, in which live an inof-
fensive Austro-Hungarian couple. The
woman was busily engaged with her
washing while the husband was sit
ting in the doorway smoking his pipe,
thinking Of the war over on the bor-
ders of his home land.
The woman also wore a red petit
coat, and the fence was down between
her and the cattle The frolicsome bull
lock spied the red petticoat and made
four leaps toward IT, In the middle of
the fifth he lowered his head and
struck the woman and tossed her light
ly in the air. She came down with a
duh splash in the tub of water.
The angry husband was on his feet
in a minute. In another he had his
shotgun i'm hand and he gavn phase
after the herd of cattle and their
drover. The latter took refuge behind
a friendly barn some distance down
the road. Then he saw a cloud of dust |

JOHN BURNS FOUGHT ALONE
State Of Pennsylvania Erected Monu
ment to Citizen-soIdier Who Was
Made Famous During War;

John Burns, the citizen-soldier of
Gettysburg, who was made famous IN
history in song and in story, was a
real character, sure enough. At the
time of the battle he was high con-
stable Of the village, and revelled in
the Office. He had no special instruc-
tions, but felt it to be his duty to
preserve order in his bailiwick, and to
apprehend all suspicious characters.
AS the two armies approached Gettys-
burg, Confederate scouts and spies
appeared in the town, and were
promptly nabbed by Burns, who filled
the lookup, the basement of the
church and warehouse or two and
was still on his job when on that first
day Buford and Heth got into hand
holts around Culp's Hill.
From General Reynolds he learned
that there was going to be a real bat
tie, and John decided to be in it.
Within an hour John Burns, citizen.
approached Major Chamberlain of the
One Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsylva,

fought all day, and was wounded three
times.
He was born in New Jersey in 1898,
and served in the Mexican war, and
was one of the first to enlist in the
Union army, but the age limit retired
him. He was seventy-two years old
when the Battle of Gettysburg was
fought, and died in Gettysburg in 1872.
For his loyalty and bravery the state
Of Pennsylvania erected monument
to his memory, at the very place
where he fought-the citizen soldier
alone and without a commander.

ence knew about her husbands con,
dition and sympathized with her. be.
ing aware Of how attached to each
other they were. Yet she was per.
mitted to 60 on with her act.
In the absence of her husband, the
original act had to be abandoned, and
Miss Bayes called upon the audience
to name any song they might like her
to sing. Some one called for a popu-
lar melody. Miss Bayes hesitated
/ The tears gathered in her eyes.
II cant sing that without my dar-
lingl" she exclaimed as she bit
her lip.
Another song was called for. Again
the eyes Of Miss Bayes filled with
tears, and they came so freely this
time that she had to turn her back
on the audience.
Il can't sing that without my dar-
ling, either" she stammered.
1t was evident that she was in no
condition to go on with her perform
ance. Yet she continued to the end. 1t
seemed cruel to allow her to 60 on, but
the audience had to be served. Miss
Bayes would no doubt have preferred
to cancel her engagement and remain
by the side of her sick husband, but
the tyranny of the audience was not
a thing to be trihed with. They had |
come from all parts Of the city to see |
Miss Bayes and they must not be |
disappointed. 1t is one of the unpleas-
ant duties Of managers to enforce this
rule.
The point of this episode is some
what weakened by later events, includ-
ing the separation Of Nora Bayes and
her husband, but the fact remains
that the incident is a good illustration
of what actors and actresses have to
go through to serve the tyrant
known as the public.

was presented to him by General
Meade at Petersburg for the bravery
he displayed in capturing the flag Of
the Eighteenth Virginia regiment dur
Ing the battle of Gettysburg.
Captain Jellison is the doorkeeper
OF the senate chamber at the state

has always been detailed to tell his
war experiences, as we'll as the stir

school children have visited the state

stage.
In the first act of this play Miss
Taylor had a little speech in which
she said: why should l be a prin
cess? / want to live, to swim, to run
to play; l want TO live, live, live!'
Miss Taylor remembered the note sha
had received threatening her life. She
became terrified again and her speech
emphasizing her wish to live became
SO hysterical that it was necessary for
her to rush off the stage. The man
ager came out promptly, and, not
knowing what explanation to give.

After some delay the performance
was continued. In the last act Miss
Taylor was to climb up a mountain
and jump into a burning pit When
she reached the top of the incline on
this occasion she was once more over
come by the terror of impending
death, and ran back in full view OF
the audience.
For more than a fortnight Miss Tay-
lor was in a nervous condition. One
evening during the play man arose
to take off his oYercoat Miss Taylor,
thinking it might be the writer of the
mysterious note, screamed. On an
other occasion a small ball rolling
onto the stage from behind the wings
set her in a panic.
