uriant Private Car

his name, is the owner of one of the
finest private ears in the theatrical bus
mess. 1t is very large and fitted up
with all the comforts and conveniences
that are found in most luxurious
home.
One piece of furniture of which Mr..
Nogel is particularly proud, is a bed.
This is of the folding style, made of
solid cherry and provided with the best
and most expensive springs and mat
tress. This was the bed used by Edwin
Booth on mis- last tour throughout this
country when he and Lawrence Barrett
were starring jointly. The Booth BAR
rett combination, of course, had its pri-
vate car, and after the death of the
eminent tragedian the car was taken
back to its builders and sold, the com
pany removing most of the expensive
fittings.
When Mr.. Vogel was having his car
built he noticed this bed, and not know
ing its history made the remark that
it would be nice piece of furniture
for his car. When the travelling home
was delivered the minstrel owner was
astonished to find the coveted bed in

While fresh masses of troops can
be brought without hindrance over

Germany-is to be doubted Germany
has still a somewhat hard task which
must not be forgotten in waiting for
