Swain Engagement
Closes Tonight With
younger Brothers"

Another large audience assemb-
led at the big W. I. Swain tent
last night and enjoyed the per-
Torrance of "At the Mercy of I'll
berius" by the Swain company. The
stage construction of the novel holds
a close fidelity to the theme unfold
ed in the book by the gifted author.
The scenic accessories and electrical
effects lent an unusual realism to the
productions realism absolutely uni
que in stage presentations under can
vass.
Tonight the engagement will close
with the four act comedy-drama, 1.-THE
Younger Brothers," depicting the life
and adventures of these noted bnadits.
Comedy and sensation are the leading
features of this production, the Swain
company being especially we'll adapted
to the requirements of plays of this
nature. All the ultra-sensational and
Objectionable phases of the bandits
history have been eliminated-the BET
ter sides of their natures being re-
vealed-leaving a good story and
moral lesson throughout the emit @
fibre of the play.

worst case l know of occurred some
years ago. A certain senator asked
the comptroller of the currency to tell
him how much stock certain man
had in national bank. He was in
formed that such information was re-
garded as confidential and could not be
given out.
Well see about that said the SEN
ator. who was plainly disappointed and
displeased.
Several days later he secured the
passage Of resolution calling upon
the secretary of the treasury to fur
nish the senate with the names and
holdings of the stockholders in all the
national banks in the country. He
really wanted to know only the inter- |
est of one man in bank, but he knew |
that he couldn't get resolution of that
kind through the senate, so he incIud- |
ed the stockholders in all national
banks.

the white house in Tite street, built
from the designs of his friend, E. W.
Goodwin, the architect:
The studio was surprisingly differ

in Lindsay row, and entirely unlike
the studios usually occupied by other
artists. l remember a long, not very
lofty room, very light, with windows
along one side; his canvas beside his
model at one end and at the other, near
the table which he used as palette,
an old Georgian looking glass, so ar
ranged that he could readily see his

most merciless of critics.
II marveled then at his extraordi-
nary activity, as he darted backward
and forward to look at both painting
and model from his point of view at
the extreme end Of the long studio. He
always used brushes Of large size with
very long handles, three feet in length,
and held them from the end with his
arm stretched to its full extent Each
touch was laid on with great firmness,
and his physical strength enabled him
to do without the assistance OF a
maulstick. while the distance at which
he stood from the canvas allowed him
to have the whole of large picture In
sight and so judge the correct drawing
of each touch"

Perhaps few stories of battles so
thoroughly illustrate cool bravery in

incident at reconnaissance before the

The British were almost led into a
terrible trap and discovered the danger
only just in tire. They turned to re-
treat, and the Zulus poured In volley

mounted infantryman. His rider fell

man and horse were killed at first, but
the former soon struggled to his feet,
with his face covered with blood and
daZed with his fall.
Lord William Beresford, seeing what
had happened, pulled up and. in the
face Of advancing hosts Of yelling saw
ages within easy range, quietly trotted
back and told the man to mount be-
hind him.
With a cool courage scarcely second
to Lord Williams, the man refused.
