seemed very promising"
The answer is: "They did mt sur
vive - did mt have merit enough.
The hook got them"
The hook" though a cruel instru-
ment of humiliation, is. useful. II
enables the public to pick its favor
ties before they are engaged. On the
other hand, many good man gets a
chance before the great jury of the
people that the short-sighted man
ager might not have given him.
Where do the actors go to who dis
appear? The papers constantly re-
mind us of tens of thousands of stage
folk who are unemployed. A vast
army of these lose their jobs during
the summer months and, becoming
disgusted, go into other kinds of
work. But the tendency of managers
to run late into the season and to
open early in the fall, the increasing
number of small watering places that
have theaters for the summer
months, and the establishment of
great number of stock companies I'm
the towns throughout the country,
have not only reduced the number of
people to be thrown out of work, but
have given opportunities for summer
jobs until better things turn up.
When you ask where stage folks
go to when they disappear, please TO
remember that some of them die.
Others drift from the great metro
politan centers out through the coun-
try and never reappear to their old
admirers, though they may for years
play outer circuits.
1t is amazing to think what a vast
number of actors retire to small
farms and succeed. Many superan-
nuated ones start dramatic schools,
while others make a business of
stage managing amateur productions
for church benefits and the like.

THE MOST amazing thing to a
manager Is the utter lack of
comprehension on the part of
applicants of what professional work
really means.
When | was writing vaudeville
sketches, | used to get letters from
young fellows in country towns who
wanted to go into vaudeville. For
some unaccountable reason, they fig
ured out that that was the easiest
way to break into the entertainment
business. AS a matter of fact, they
were choosing the very toughest end
of 1t all. In vaudeville, there Is no
stage manager to tell one what to
do and how to do It. He must rely
entirely upon himself. Furthermore,
he must do his own booking, get his
own transfer agent to take care of
his baggage, negotiate his own rail
rOading, and even pack his own prop
critics. In fact, he has a thousand
and one troubles to divert his mind
from his proper business. 1t never
seems to dawn upon the aspirant that
it's much better to get into a great
organization, where there's some
body to attend to every problem for
him, and where he has a chance to
learn the details of stage craft.
A clever vaudeville man, to begin
with, must have a good act, and II
he be unknown DE must know how
to talk his act to the managers If
he employs an agent, he is at dis
advantage, because these persons
work for the management of the
theaters. Furthermore, the vaude-
vile man must remember that he
comes ont on to tie stage with moth
ing behind him, practically no prop
critics, no chorus girls to divert at
tention. The eyes of the people are
centered on him. He must do il all.
II is by far the most difficult business
in the world to succeed at, unless
one is very talented.
One often hears the question::
What has become of such and
such a vaudeville team? | saw them

CONCLUSIONS OF
A PRACTICAL
STOCKMAN
(Globe-Democrat)

In your issue of August 26 is an
article stating that the government
is short of cerum for the treatment
of so-called hog cholera. From ex-
perience which | had with the dis
ease thirty-five years ago, l came to
the conclusion that it originated from
malnutrition, caused by feeding ex-
cessive quantities of grain of one kind
only. | made many experiments in
order to prove it, especially in the
case of overlooking. learned that
so long as hogs were kept upon a
spare diet they rarely suffered from
disease, while those which were fed
excessive quantities of grain were
frequently ailing.
l adopted the plan of feeding three
times day, the same as fed myself,
never giving sufficiently to fully sat
isfy the appetite. Since adopting this
system l have had but little trouble
from disease, and have only lost one
in twenty years out of several hun
dred.
Twenty-Five years ago I had con-
siderable correspondence with the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington on the subject of swine dis
ease. | contended it was caused by
excessive feeding. They declared it
was due to microbe. Seeing it was
impossible to reconcile our opinions,
l ceased writing and we each pursued
our own course. Had they have ac-
cepted my theory at that time and
faithfully applied it, hundreds of mil.
lions of dollars might have been saw
ed to the farmers of this country 1t
is almost impossible to convince a
farmer that hog cholera caused by
improper feeding and that it can be
cured without medicine. Even after
/ would go and cure their hogs just
for practice they ascribed my success
to luck, and predicted that some day
I would get caught, but up to last
March, when | quit raising hogs for
the present, that day had not arrived.
When / first commended expert
menting only two forms of disease
were recognized. To-day I know of
fourteen, each one producing diff

The Wentworth Mystery

"Mysteriously disappeared from the
knowledge of men at Washington, D.
c., July, 1862"
These words upon a monument in
the cemetery of Suncook, New Hamp-
shire, perpetuate one of the national
capitals great mysteries growing out
of the Civil war.
In July, 1852, the Nineteenth New
Hampshire volunteers, while on their
way to the front, passed through the
city of Washington and camped upon
the Virginia side of the Aqueduct
bridge.

Company D. on July twenty-first re-
ceived days furlough to cross the
bridge and see the sights of Washing

company he was marked mot pres

"mysteriously disappeared" were la
ter substituted.
Every circumstance connected with
the case pointed away from the pro-
liability of the young soldiers deser-
ton. Indeed a special court of in
quiry, after thoroughly sitting the
evidence in connection with the mys-
terry, reported that Wentworth did
disappear from mortal ken; but in
view of his character and anteced-
ents we clear him from the charge of
desert ion and recommend that his
military record be regarded as with
out stain"
Wentworth was a farmer lad of
twenty years of age, of good habits,
unusually intelligent and inquisitive.
His captain was his cousin, and he had
TO cause for complaint of his treat
ment in the army. When he left

Mystery of Captain Kidd's Treasure

Mystery of Captain Kidd's Treasure
No colonial mystery has created
such wide popular interest, has been
the food for such extravagant boyish
dreams, or has given inspiration to
such varied and lurid fiction plots, as
that bequeathed to us by the famous
Captain William Kidd.
This intrepid navigator, it may be
remembered was sent on a long cruise
to hunt down pirates, but was accused
of turning buccaneer himself, and was
arrested on his return First he had
cut a swath off Newfoundland and
Nova Scotia, and then he had darted
off for Madagascar, finally returning
home by way of the West Indies,
where he got wind that he was sus-
pected. He arrived at the West In
dies with captured India ship, said
to belong to the Great Mogul and
to be chock-full of treasure. But un-
der the brightest sun of his fourth
summer out he came scudding up our
coast in sloop. And after his ar
rest and execution, in 1901, only sew
enty thousand dollars worth of sill
YER, gold and jewels had been recover
ed from his trove.
Now no one would believe that this
was the booty of such three years
enterprise as Kidd's. Hence ever since
his return every stone along his route
has been turned to find the vast hoard
which he was believed to have hidden
somewhere between the time Of his
arrival in the West Indies and his ar
rest in Boston.
At first search was made for the
Great Mogul's ship, and one theory
was that she was taken up the Hud-
son. run ashore and burned at the
base of the Dunderberg, after all
that was movable had been carried of
her
But what has held water better

ter dispute. The fact remains tha'
no one knows to this day In which
state he was born. Indeed his biog'
raphers have been too much at ODDS
over the question that some people
have been led to, or have affected TO-
suspect that "Old Hickory was born
in Ireland, and that this fact was COW
cred up when he became imbued with
presidential aspirations.
Still another theory is to the eff
feet that he was born on the high
seas while his immigrant parents
were on their way to this country
But this and the other theories seem
to have originated with his political
foes.
According to one authority Virgin
ia. must be awarded the honor OF
having given the bluff soldier presi-
dent to the nation; but there are two
other states between which the glory
seems really to lie and these are
North and South Carolina. Jackson
himself always maintained that he
was born in South Carolina, but the
majority of his biographers think
that he was mistaken.
His poor peasant parents, after
landing from Ireland, came to Wax
haw settlement which spread over the
line between the two Carolinas. Here
within two years the father died with
out having won home from the will
derness, and his widow, not returning
to the cabin which had been their
temporary shelter, started directly
from the graveyard, where her hus-
band had been laid away, to find q
new home with some distant relative
She went afoot, bearing her bur-
den of grief and leading her two little
boys. Whether she went to North
Carolina or to South Carolina on this
trip is the moot question.
The North Carolina partisans have
two theories, one of which is that af.
ter proceeding into the state she stop
ped at the wayside house of strang-
er, where the future president was
born, and the other that she found
her way to the cabin of brother-in-
law, where the eventful birth took
place The best evidence of the South
Carolina champions is that she trud-
ged on her weary way down into the
state until she reached a small cabin
on the plantation of a distant rela.
tive, and that it was in this humble
shelter that Andrew Jackson first saw
the light.

that sentries were posted at every

Secret Hiding Place of Wilkes Booths
Body
So clouded in mystery was the dis
posal of the body of Wilkes Booth
the assassin of President Lincoln, that
some people have come to believe he
made his escape. In fact a consider.
able volume has been written to prove
that another was shot in his stead
But the best evidence is that Booth
was shot in the barn at Bowling
Green, and that a steamboat brought
his body to Washington for identifi.
cation and disposal.
All that We know about that dispo.
sal, however, is that it was in "se-
cret place" And the mystery as to
where this secret place was men have
pondered this many day. Some peo-
pie believe that it was not grave,
