An Attractive FiIIy.

One Of the handsomest FLIES ever
foaled in Adair county, is owned by
Mr.. r. F. PAUL. She is a colt of Mr..
Paull's well-known brood mare, and
she was sired by Rex Monroe, one of
the best bred stations in the State,
owned by Thurman & Peterson, Spring
field. KY. Judge Thurman who is a
fine judge of horse flesh, has been at
tracted by the beauty of the PAUL
colt, and last week he came 10 Colum-
bia. and after conference with the
owner, it was decided that she should
be shown at the State Fair, and in
obedience to the decision she was
placed in charge of Judge Thurman,
who will have her on exhibition at
the big State show. Other judges of
stock are confident that she will take
a blue.
After the State Fair she will be re-
turned to Springfield, placed in charge
of Judge Thurman's driver, Jim Da-
Wis, Of color, who formerly lived in
Columbia, who prides in putting the
finishing touches on young animals,
and who knows exactly how to pull
the strings to make colt step cor
rectly.

dora" Hoyt never got cent of roy
atty for writing the play.
"a Parlor Match was developed by
Hoyt from an old skit called The
Book Agent" This skit belonged to
Evans & Hoey. The first real finan-
cial success that Hoyt enjoyed was
his play "A Rag Baby He had writ
ten a piece called "Cezelia,' founded
on a mythical patent medicine. 1t
was never produced right and it be-
came the theme for the last play Hoyt
ever wrote, "A Dog in a Manger"
In 1884 Hoyt wrote "A Case OF
Wine" which was played in Texas by
Charles Bishop. "A Case of Wine
lateE proved the foundation for Hoyt's
play "A Texas Steer.' recently filmed
with great success by the Selig Poly
scope company.
While we were playing "a Hole in
the Ground" opening September IA,
1887, in the Fourteenth Street theater,
New York city (my first appearance
in New York city as an actor, Hoyt
started writing "A Midnight Bell"
which was first produced in Frisco by
L R. Stockwell in his stock company.
Hoyt saw its possibilities and then
produced it in the East.
Charles Hoyt had way Of writing
about his players personality and 1t
was while "A Hole in the Ground"
was on the boards that he wrote "A
Brass Monkey" and put me in to do
the song "Razzle Dazzle. The writer
OF this song. VIM. Barton. was so
pleased that he made me a present of
the song The Wild Man of Borneo."
which we did in "a Brass Monkey"
Hoyt always produced his pieces
for two weeks in the spring around
New England, then remained for a
week in Jersey City, t1en closed for
the summer, almost ready to produce
the piece without change in the fall.
Any alterations in the plot he would
make in the summer months.

veloping his plays He would begin
by telling his intimate friends about

an idea and II was wonderful how he
would enlarge it. Every time Hoyt
told his idea he had some new comedy
interest and he built up his plays by
telling It over and over again. He
would then sit down and write an en-
tire show in two or three days for ne
had all the construction in his mind.
l have seen Hoyt sit in our Pull
man sleeper, even in the day time,
with the window shade drawn down
over his head, looking out, but seeing
nothing but the funny ideas that were
tumbling out of his fertile brain. He
was undoubtedly the most prolific and
most successful playwright that
American has ever known. He wrote
all Of his manuscripts In long hand,
later having them typewriter.
Hoyt was a man difficult to ap-
proach. His most intimate friends
never called him Charlie" AS a man
he was cold and reserved. Frank Nc
Kee, his partner, even called him "Mr.
Hoyt." He was also most economical
with the pay roll. For three years
drew $25 weekly. He liked to split
the difference in salaries as for ex-
ample: One actor demanded $40
weekly and got $35. another asked for
$35 and got $3.50. But outside bust
ness hours, in the cafe or the dining
room, he corralled all checks. In
business he was close, in social life
unusually liberal.

Poor Charles Hoyt died at Charles
ton. N. H., in November, 1900. Gov
ernor Rollins of New Hampshire had
been petitioned to investigate his
case by the people who assert
ed that Hoyt was not insane, but
was being kept in charge for some
Interior purpose. l had called upon

Hoyt previously and knew that he was
not in his right mind. l have seen
him shave himself, in his later years,
while wearing a hat and overccat in
sultry weather He was undoubtedly
losing his mind for several years be-
fore anyone appreciated the fact. He
had horror of the fieur de lis. Did
he spy the device at any time or
place he would beat a hasty retreat.
He could be very sarcastic at times.
Hoyt had a great fund of stories and
his humor was wonderful. Everything
seemed to strike his funny side. Even
the names of his characters were
studies in true humor.
"A Trip to Chinatown was Hoyt's
first failure. 1t failed to make any
money on its preliminary presenta-
ton. Hoyt took the show to New
York city. engaged the Madison
Square Garden, put in good cast and
it went over and was the biggest hit
he ever had. Society had never seen
that class of stuff in those days.
AnCAC 10 HO Ndoe Cu ICCCIu WutIc
Hoyt ever wrote play for a star. He
didn't like to write for people he did
not know well. He started "A Black
Sheep" for William Hoey and with
reluctance. Before the contracts were
signed there was hitch and Hoyt
tore up the contract. Then he sent
for me. He told Mckee in my pres
ence that he would rather write the
play around my personality. "A
Black Sheep was a great success.
"A Contented Woman was written
for his wife. 1t is as up-to-date today
as it was years as1, for it deals with
suffragettes. You have perhaps no
ticed that all of the Hoyt's comedies
start with A 1t was just another
one of his peculiarities.
It is worthy Of notice that one OF
the Hoyt plays "A Black Sheep" in
which achieved one Of my biggest
hits as an actor. is to be released as
a Selig Red Seal Play. Little did
believe when acting in this comedy
that would again appear in the pre-
duction as motion picture star.
