The Actor

Be the Real Thing.
By =. A. mitchell

The tragedienne had played the role
Of Mary. queen Of Scots. to a crowded
house. Throughout the play the audi
ence had sat spellbound, and during
the last scene-that In which the queen
Is led to execution-not sound was to
be heard In the theater except what
pertained to the melancholy pr ocession
ON the stage. Then when the curtain
fell just before the Ak was supposed to
fall on the beautiful neck resting on
the block the hush gave place to long
drawn breaths. The audience arose and
passed out without the usual hum of
conversation. but silently. as II the real
tragedy Of several centuries ago had
been enacted.
The tragedienne entered her carriage
at the stage door and was driven to
her hotel. No one was about except
the night clerk In the Office and a call
boy. The tragedienne passed up to her
rooms, In one Of which table was
spread with few light dishes. Throw
ing of her wraps. she seated herself
and partook of the meal.
1t was summer. and the window
doors were open. giving access to a

ing the night clerk fell fainting on the
floor before him.
When she had revived and told her
story the clerk called an officer. and
together they went to the scene of what
had nearly been tragedy. All was
quiet there. The policeman opened the
window. The balcony was deserted.
Evidently John Coyne had descended
by the way he came. A search was
made for him. and he was found on
the street muttering to himself inco-
herently. He was taken to his lodging
and the next day removed to an asy
lum.
The evening on which this incident
occurred was the last on which the
tragedienne played Queen Mary. Her
manager. who was loath to lose and
have her lose the profit that would ac-
crue from her marvellous impersona-
ton, used all his persuasive powers to
induce her to continue. but without
avail. She said she had driven one man
mad under the strain and declared that
II she continued to play the part she
would in time follow him to oedlam.
This ended the argument. and the next
play in which she appeared afforded
her a more cheerful part.
She also made a change in her habit

performance. Since her escape from an

invariably has some friend to sup with

see every jail, workhonse and

face Of the earth. Our whole
penal system is based on wrong
idea and should be completely
revolutionized." So says Max
Watson, city forester OF the city
of San Diego, who is in Wash

ton of how cities deal with their
unemployed - ''vags," DRINKS,
hoboes, and down-and-outs-and
all the train of social questions
related to the problem OF city I'M

Mr.. Watson is the man who
utilized the 66000-acre tract of
lanc belonging to the city of San
Diego as social experiment sta
ton for putting that city's sub
merged tenth" on its feet. Any
man in San Diego who is down
and out and unable to get a Job
in San Diego may have ten days
work reforesting and cultivating
the land on this tract at so cents

Our object is not primarily
to provide work for the unem-

to put himself on his feet so that
