STAGE ILLUSIONS.
Not the Least of These Are the Ban
quets on the Boards.

Not the Least of These Are the Ban
quets on the Boards.
Nothing is SO deceptive as the stage
meal, although the art Of the property
man makes such repasts appear de-
liciously appetizing.
A favorite stage substitute for meat
is sponge cake. which cut into the
shape of outlets or steaks and judi
ciously Drowned with sauce. presents
a most genuine appearance. The ad-
vantage of such material Is that 1t Is
easy for the actors to consume and
does not present any difficulties to the
carver.
Outlets composed Of soft toast are
also popular In stage culinary circles,
and when decorated with dainty paper
frills and parsley look quite the real
thing.
Do not let your mouth water at the
sight of those dainty slices of ham re-
posing on lettuce leaves on the baron's
festive board. Ham Is invariably rep
resented OH the stage by strips of limo.

The larger and more impressive the

pies which when cut produce cloud
of realistic steam are absolutely uneat.
able. The crust Is merely colored pa,
pier mache, which incloses n dish of
hot water and sometimes a few boiled
potatoes, which supply the necessary
steam. The big sirloin of beef. which
apparently weighs pounds. has about
six ounces of eatable meat about 1t.
The Joint is wooden affair, over
which few thin slices Of genuine beef
are placed, giving the impression OF a
really fine piece Of meat.
Were you to obtain peep behind the
scenes just before banquet scene was
to be staged you would find number
of stage hands busily slicing up toina-
toes and bananas. You would see those
slices being laid out on plates sur
rounded with parsley or white cabbage
leayes. Under the glare of the lime
light this dish assumes an astonishing
resemblance to lobster salad. and In
similar fashion sliced banana Is a gen
eral substitute for fish, entrees and
| hors doeuvre.
One of the most astonishing illusions

where soup is concerned This is In
variably sawdust which when ladlec
out of tureen has all the appearance
| of thick liquid.
No banquet would be complete With

Drowned and decorated with pegs GOV

management the expense Of running vi
a poultry bill. Moreover, the come
dians can with comparative safetl
sling this asset to the feast about th'
stage without damage to life or prop

Fish on Reservation.

Though there is an old federal law
prohibiting any but indians from fish
ing on the Umatilla reservation. this
law will not be enforced providing the
white anglers conduct themselves in
an orderly manner, says the East
Oregonian. This is the substance Of
statement made by Agent E. L..
Swartzlander to the local game
officers. In the recognition OF the
fact that the local game association
has been very instrumental in stocking
the river with fish Major Swartzland-
er interviewed to prevent strict en-
forcemeut of the old law cut it will
be enforced against those rowdy fish
ermen who show no respect for the
Indian or for his property.

STORY OF A FAMOUS SONG.
\ D small, Rainy Day Moved Dan Em-
ir.et to Write Dixie"

rret to Write Dixie
:. - WIS written by Dan Emmett,
n,.A WaNl> aud music. Ii was sung
for the first time Monday. Sept, 10,
lS10. On the stage of Bryant's minstrels
nj 4T2 Broadway. New York. There
has been much controversy over the
question of authorship and over the
music. The known history of the song
has been carefully complied by Gus
tav Kohl. in his Famous American
Songs" as follows:
"On Saturday night Sept II. 1859,
after the performance one of the Bry-
ants told Emmett that new walk
around was wanted in time for re-
hearsa on Monday The minstrel re-
piled that. while the time was very
short, he would do his best. That
night after he reached home he tried
to hit upon some tune, but the music
wouldn't come. His wife cheerily told
him to wait until morning. He should
have the room to himself so that he
could work undisturbed, and when he
had finished the walk around he could
play 1t for her as sole audience. II
she liked 1t the Bryants would and so
would the average listener.
Next day was rainy and dismal.
Some years before Emmett had Travelled
with a circus as n drummer. In winter
the warm southern circuit was popu-
lar route with circus people, and those
who were obliged to show north would
say when the cold weather would make
them shiver, 4 wish | was In Dixie
The phrase was, In fact, a current cir
Gus expression. On that dismal Sep.
tember day, probably the beginning of
the eQuinoctial. when Emmett stepped
to the window and looked out the old
longing for the pleasant south came
over him. and involuntarily he thought
to himself, l wish was in Dixie
Like fash the thought suggested
the first line for a walk around, and q
little later the minstrel. fiddle In hand
was working out the melody which,
coupled with the words, made Dixie q
genuine song OF the people almost from
the instant 1t was first sung"

Spicy Debate Over Tenure of
Office for the State Land Agent.

If the committee on State lands and
forest preservation had had a little
more time, Wednesday afternoon, there
might have been a pretty lively hear
ing. There seemed to be several ex-
plosions all ready to jar the roof, but
they were smothered before getting UNI
der way. House members of the COM
mittee We're anxious to get into the
House session, at $50. and as the hear
ing did not start until o'clock there
wasn't very much time to give to any
of the several matters that were taken
up.
When the bill providing that organ
lied places may become members of
the forestry district if they 50 desire
came up, Chairman Colby explained
that there are several towns in Wash
ington county that wish to enjoy the
protection of the district and the bill
was drawn chiefly for their benefit.
Hon. J. P. Bass of Bangor favored
giving land contiguous to the forestry
district fire protection.
Mr.. Bass WAS asked by Mr. Mars
ton of the committee if he thought it
would be possible to get an appropriate
ton of $4,000 through in the last eight
days of the session. Mr.. Bass thought
they would pass that as quickly as
they would $4,000
When the Darling" bill was taken
up 1t WAS explained briefly by Mr.
Darling of Gardiner. The bin provides
for tile purchase and reforesting of
land by the State and also regulation
of cutting by private owners under GER
tain conditions, The principal feature
of the bill SO far as the lumbermen are
concerned is the provision for tax
of five per cent upon stumpage.
Judge l.. c. Stearns of Bangor de-
elared that it was his opinion that the
tax provision makes the bill clearly
unconstitutional lie also admitted
that he was opposed to the tax any
how. Mr.. Bass also considered the
bill unconstitutional and that it is too
late in the session now to attempt to
put such an important measure
through.
Mr.. Darling had large amount of
data relating to the bill, but as he had
but one copy refused to leave it with
the committee and there was no time
for him to go over it at the hearing.

tension of the tenure of office of the

years, which had been tabled by the
committee. came up, Judge Stearns
stated that the Great Northern Pa
per Co. is opposed to the bill and he
| understood the manager had written
to the committee stating their objee-
tions.
Thomas Leigh of Augusta asked
Judge Stearns If Former Agent Mace
did not have a contract with the Great
Northern and was told he did not know.

speak for myself. | have no such con-
tract" Mr. Leigh did not press the
matter further.
Mr.. Colby turned the chair over to
Mr.. Marston and took the floor to
make a statement regarding the bill
He declared that it seemed to be his
fate to take all the kicks against the
wild land measures, but that did not
bother him. Il don't know said he
whether the friends of this bill have
been playing politics or not, but l
didn't want to have anything to do
with ii. The committee considered this
matter carefully in executive session
and decided to make the tenure three
years, Which seemed to he fair prop
osition In some way this whole thing

Mr.. Mace regretted that personaIi-
ties had been INTRODUCED into the dis
cussien of the bill. He declared the
present commissioner and agent is his
friend and that he is sorry to oppose
amy bill favored by him. He did not
consider a long tenure of office to be
for the best interests of the depart
ment. THE administration should
have the right to select the heads of
departments that are in sympathy with
it, declared Mr.. Mace He declared
that he had made no personal appeal
in behalf of the bill.
