Of a Swiss workman who contented
himself not at all with swear-words
to express his disappointment at los
ing. the last train home from Locie,
near Neufchatel Instead, he waited
until a. m. and then attempted to
run himself home in long passenger
train which he saw at the station.
The train was to have started a few
hours later, and the engineer had his
fires banked and steam up. The work
man jumped into the locomotive and
pulled every lever he could find, hop
ing to start the train. The only re-
suit. says the Boston Transcript, was
that the steam began kissing out In
clouds and the whistle blew, waking
all the employees, who. thinking an nc.
cident had happened. hastened to the
spot. There they found the workman,
who was handed over to the police.
The man had not touched the main
lever or the train would have dashed
into siding.

farmlands of the West To the Chicago

his life was reached when he first heard
Nazimova play Ibsen.

portrait His letter went unanswered,

her and went to see her play several
different characters. Although very
poor, he executed n life size oil painting

dark theatre in back Of the stage, where
the entire cast was assembled around
the unpacked portrait, and was well
coined enthusiastically by every one,
including the actress.

his teens. now adorns the front foyer of
Nazimova's theatre In Thirty-ninth

result was an order from the Russian
