A MODERN FLIGHT FROM EGYPT.

At this distance the revolution in
Mexico is not considered of much con-
sequence, and the fighting between
Federals and Rebels is not taken Sc
riously. A nearer view of the situa-
ton, however, gives it a different as
pect, and the following description of
the flight of non-combatants from
Piedras Negras, as taken from the
Eagle Pass News-Guide, is intensely
interesting:
The jostling, struggling, tottering
mass of humanity congested the
bridges for twenty-four hours. Old
men with huge loads of bedding, whal,
ing trunks, packs of household furni-
ture, struggled along in the crowd Old
women carrying cooking pots with the
SCOT clinging to the sides; bird cage

other and tub on the head. was not

and goat held with a string about
the body: girls with a broom in one
hand and parrot in the other; men
with huge packs strapped to their
backs. all came in a struggling, jost-
ling, moaning mob. "Belgame Dios!"
was the exclamation, and thanks to
their respective saints when American
soil was reached. Some actually fell
to the ground under their burdens, and
were promptly lifted to their feet and
started along by others more virile
Such a parade no circus manager ever
conceived. 1t was not amusing-it was
tragic. Pitiful to behold, heartrend-
ing in the extreme.

people who employ other than linen

to the treatment for your tablecloths,
that depends mostly on individual

equipment must be either dignity or
daintiness. If you elect dignity, then

daintiness shall be your preference,
then embroider them. But do not
make the mistake of supposing that
the more embroidery you put on, the
more daintiness you build in. Too
much embroidery always detracts
from daintiness-it becomes messy
Consider the pearl, daintiest of all the
gems. Its daintiness is so delicate IL
can not be seen at glance, whereas
a glass marble fairly shrieks at your
eyes. II it is daintiness you seek,
then embroider discreetly; If it is dig
nifty, then hem. But being as how you
have two tablecloths, how would 1t
do to hem one an 'broider 'tother? You
would then have combination which

FOR THE LADIES.

Knowing the latest rules and regula-

word in household furnishings, fancy
work and decorations are always of
{ interest to the ladies, we reproduce
the following from the Galveston
News for their benefit:
A postal card has been received by
State Press with the following:

table linens and do not know how to
finish them around the edges. Shall

dispense your knowledge of such
things, | anxiously await your help

The things you want to know ar,
right in S. P.'s line, and he likes to
tell them to you. But permit him
right at the start to suggest that you
should have said you have two table.
cloths, not two table linens. Linen is
the generic noun applicable to table
napery, which includes napkins and
dolies, and whenever the term table
cloth is used it implies a linen fab
ric used to clothe the dinner table. 1t
is the same with a mans collars-he
wouldn't say he has two linens, for it

A sudden illness that befell Ben Holman gave Crane his first chance Prior to this Mrs Holman had heard his rather remarkably deep voice for one of his years and prevailed upon his mother to let him be apprenticed to her little company The mother helped the boy to persuade his father and gaining this consent he set sail upon the stage. His earnings for two years amounted to nothing as he did not receive a salary and only earned his board during the terms of his apprenticeship By this time he proved his worth. He remained for a while with the Holman troupe and it is remarkable the delightful mem ories that big men of affairs a~today recall when they drop in to see Billy Crane act and remember their first acuuaintance with him in the juvenile days.
 After he had been through the paces of the Holman school he joined Alice Oates and remained a member of her company. It was in this con nection that Crane developed his na- tural bent for comedy work and his ability to successfully characterize and be humorous in one.
 MT. Crane ran the gamut of the early school. He could sing, dance, gag and do all the things that the era asked of a fun maker in light opera. He had no technical vocal training and he did not even sing by note but i learned his songs by ear" as the saying goes. But behind it all there was an understanding and Crane was quick to realize the ephemeral nature of such career. He braVely turned his back upon musical work where he was earning very big salary for
