automobile. He's learning to run it. His
friends won't ride with him, but he
persuades his wife to occupy the ton

goes after-in time he'll be the most
proficient driver in town.

packed his wife behind him, pulled a
tinid chauffeur beside him. said Nov
we're off, pushed the gear into first

second. then dashed on.
No use stopping murmured the
major, thought L saw those folks on
their front stoop. Was going to take
them riding. Guess they're not home -
AS soon as the majors friends saw
the approach of the car they fastened
into the house.. locked the front door
and pulled down the blinds. They said,
Major, We're fond of you Well eat
with you, talk with you, walk with you,
but we Will not ride with YOU
Finally the machine approached the
home of Bob Tasker. 1t swayed

never stop here grinned the register
of deeds.
But the car stopped-stopped with a
force that sent Mrs. Harvey soaring
into the air and knocked the major
against the wheel. Mr.. Tasker looked
solicitous.
''Shucks,' called the sportsmanlil1e
major, Il wouldn't give a red cent for
a car that couldn't buck"

Academy.

In the Paul J. Rainey African hunt
pictures that will be seen at the Acad-
envy beginning this evening a number OF
facts not generally known concerning
natural history are brought out. pic
ture is shown OF a herd of a thousand
zebra led by a wildebeest. II seems the
male wildebeest which belongs to the
gnu family when driven out OF his own
tribe seeks a herd Of zebra and appoints
himself their leader. As long as he con-
tinues uttering a sound resembling the
rough, sharp growl of a bear the zebra
follows his lead, perfectly secure that no
enemy is near. The moment the leader
scents danger the fact is communicated
to the herd by the silence OF the WILDE
beest and they Immediately stampede.
Another picture shows a herd OF several
hundred Thompson gazelles, declared by
scientists to be the most timid creature
in the world, In photographs taken sew
enty-fve yards distant from the animals.
Never before, 1t is claimed, has man been
in such close proximity to the timid little
beast which is OF so nervous a physical
character that the shot OF a gun ofttines
frightens him to death.
It is proved by these pictures that the
lion which has always been regarded as
the king Of beasts, turned coward when
brought to bay by a pack OF Mississippi
bear hounds.

STAGE MONEY.--Stage money, that is.
money of no value off the stage. is first
said to have been used by David Gar
rick in the eighteenth century. This
money is said to have been made by the
wealthy actor manager so as to actually
look like real money. There was little
money, even of this counterfeit kind, used
in the days of Shakespeare, because of
the scarcity of any kind of money, par
ticuldriy among actors. In Ready
Money" there is one real twenty-five-cent
piece and two real One-thousand- dollar
bills used. Fifty thousand dollars of the
money used Is of the kind known as stage
money.
ETHEL BARRYMORE.-C very re-
Gently Ethel Barrymore had never posed
for any portrait or sketch of her face
other than one of profile. The biggest
concession she had ever made to an artist
was at most a three-quarter face. But
during her last visit to Paris Miss Barry
more had engagement to pose for
Andre Brouillet, the French artist. and
it remained for him to prove TO her and
70 the artistic world that she should not
sit for profile views.
The day of the first sitting came, and
as Miss Barrymore reached the doorway
of the studio and parted the portieres
70 enter. she was greatly surprised by NJ
Brouillet's admonitton:
please stay where you are and l will
make the sketch"
1t was the first time in many sittings
that Miss Barrymore had been asked to
pose full-face. and she was very dubious
about the experiment. but she urged no
objection out of Difference to the artist
Happily, the portrait was highly pleasing
to all concerned. 1t is now on exhibit
ton in one of the New York galleries.
