Real Tragedy Of the Stage.

A beautiful actress, Fraulein Oar
mer, was killed by accident recently,
while playing at the Theater of Va
rieties at Berne, Switzerland. The last
act of the comedy. THE Pride of the
Third Company" was coming to an
end when Fraulein Darmer fell
through a defective stage trap to a
distance of six feet and fractured her
skull The actress was carried uncon-
scious to her room and a doctor was
in prompt attendance, but the case
was beyond his help. and as the cur
tain fell on the comedy on the stage
the girl died. Neither the members of
the company who took the final call"
nor the public, who wondered why the
actress did not appear, had the slight
est idea of the tragedy that had oc-

FURNISHED BOND OF AMlTY
willing Means Of Bringing Rival
HumorIsts Together.

Once upon a time two humorists
dwelt in the same small town and both
contributed to the Sunday Star. AS
was but natural, they became wildly
jealous OF each other, and when one
would win little more prominence
than his fellow the other would have
seven kinds of fits. your Pleasant
Valley Items give me a painl" quoth
one. Your prose rhymes make me
ill!" retorted the other. AS they were
about to come TO blows there ap-
peared on the scene Good Samaritan,
and to him they appealed. which Of
us is the funnier?" they asked. Meth
err" was the prompt reply. You are
both as unfunny as wart hogs, and as
tiresome as trip across the Sahara!"
Thereat they both set upon the gem
tleman from Samaria and beat him
full sore, and dwelt together in amity
forever after.
Moral: From this we should learn
that while humorists delight in quar-
reling among themselves. they fre-
quently resent criticism from outsid-
ers.-Kansas City Star.

Convict Farm Suggested.

Gov Major has under advisement a
proposition to submit to the next leg
islature for the purchase of 1000
acres of farming land in Galloway
county as convict farm.
The governor believes such a farm
could be devoted entirely to growing
vegetables and producing meat for.
consumption by the convlcts, and thus
effect a great saving in their keep.
All convict labor contracts, under
which contractors are now working
some 1900 men, will expire at the
close OF next year, and the presump-
tion is that the next legislature will
not authorize renewals.
The governor thinks that a farm
across the river from the peniten-
tiary would furnish employment for
400.
During Gov. Crlttenden's admins
uation. In the early eighties, the state
tried TO operate convict farm in Cal
iaway county, and had to abandon the
undertaking owing to the hostility OF
the isrmers. Then, however, the con.
victs were kept on the farm as long
as there was work there, and were
not returned to the pricon at night as
Gov, Major plans.

Modern Greek.

A stranger came into our office and
graciously offered US some fruit which
he said he purchased downstairs in

him what Greek grocery, and he said
the one right under us, in Holpos'
place. We have been here some time
and knew nobody of that name, and
to satisfy our curiosity we went down.
stairs to have a look.
Sure enough there was what did
look like 'Holpos" on the end of the
awning, at least there were the let

that it is an abbreviation used by
the store which, when translated

Letter Lands Boy In Jail.

How an anonymous letter, signed
81 aw and Order League" caused AL
bert Berry, Caldwell county boy, to
lreak the conditions of a parole
which landed him in the state peni'
tertiary, was told in parole papers
when he was released. Berry was ar
rested and convicted of breaking into
building to get saddle which he
wanted to use for one night. The
Jud1e paroled Berry because of the
trivial character of the offense. He
made as condition of the parole that
he remain in the jurisdiction of the
circuit court Of that county,
While at Tatesville he was accused
Of having provoked a row in which he
was afterward found to have had no
part. An anonymous letter warned
him to leave the state at once or he
would be hanged. Berry fled from his
fathers home to Iowa, where he was
later apprehended for breaking his
parole and lodged in the penitentiary
TO serve two years, from May II, 1913
for the saddle theft.
