Stage Gossip

Luigi Gasparini got onto the
stage just about as rapidly as
anybody ever did.
Luigi was chopping the plaster
off old bricks in the excavation
at Lenox av. and 51st ST., where
Oscar Hammerstein is building
his new opera house, and singing
as he worked. Harry Hammer
stein, Oscars youngest son, who
is supervising the work, heard
him.
In about two minutes Harry
hiked to telephone and got
father on the wire. "Hey, dad!"
he shouted, Come over to the
hole in the ground, right away!
Oscar hoped into taxi and
came post-haste. thinking there
must be a strike on hand. Reas-
sured on this point by his son,
he listened to Luigrs tenor
warblings.
Come out of that" he shout
ed to the brick-cleaner. "Quit
this job and report to the chorus
master of my opera company"
"Tanka you, boss" gasped
Gasparini. He got his coat, took
his pay check and went home to
put on clothes better suited for
grand-opera rehearsal!

In my lodgings one evening,
you know, I chose to read bit
in bed, but on attempting to
switch on the electric light found
that the globe had expended its
strength and was not responsive,

who extended his aid in this
manner:

CARE OF THE DRAFT HORSE

Following are the drivers rules Of
the Boston Work-Horse Parade Associ
ton:
1. Start at a walk and let your
horse work very easily for tho first
half hour.
2. A heavy draft horse never should
be driven faster than walk, with OF
without load.
8. Look to your harness. Avoid
these faults especially:
Bride too long or too short
Binders pressing on the eyes OF
Tapping. ii .I
Throat latch too tight.
Collar too tight or too loose.
Traces too long.
Breeching too low down or toe
loose.
4. Drive your horse all the time.
Feel his mouth gently. Never jerk
the reins.
5. Take the horse out of the shafts
as much as possible; and if you drive
a pair Of four, unfasten the outside
traces while the horses are standing
they will rest better that way.
g. Teach your horses to go into the
collar gradually. When load is to
be started, speak to the horses and
take firm hold on the reins SO that
they will arch their necks, keep their
legs under them and step on their
toes.
Z. Water your horse as often as pos
sible. Water in moderate quantities
will not hurt him, SO long as he keeps
moving.
g. Blanket your horse carefully when
he stands, especially if he is at all
hot Repeated slight chills stiffen and
age horse before his time
9. Bring your horse in cool and
breathing easily. If he comes in hot
he will sweat in the stable, and the
sudden stopping of hard work is bad
for his feet
10. In hot weather or in drawing
heavy loads, watch your horses breatf
ing. If he breathes hard, or short
and quick, it is time to stop.
II. Remember that the horse is the
most nervous Of all animals, and that
little things annoy and irritate him
Remember that he will be contented
or miserable accordingly as you treat
him.
