MANSFIELD AS AN ACTOR.
His Genius Enabled Him TO Turn Bad
Parts Into Good Ones.

We were to open a new theater In
Panton street, which was not ready, Sc

was an adaptation from the French.
Farnie was the adapter, with no pride
Of authorship, SO he allowed Mansfield
a good deal OF liberty I'm %sle way OF in
terpolation and business. Day by day
the part OF the old beau was built up.
especially In TayloTs scenes, until
Mansfleld's part assumed the proper
tions of leading character and Tay.
lors part, which was the principal
comedy part of the play. faded away
into the background. We all began to
take notice of Mansfield and to per
ceive that his character was going to
be the part OF the play.
One day Taylor rebelled. He told
Farnie and Alexander Henderson. the
manager Of the theater, that he was
the leading comedian Of the company
and that Mansfeld's character had
now become the most important per.
sonage In the comedy. He protested
violently. Farnie was in dilemma.
Mansfield's business and additions
deserved the prominence accorded to
him. Taylor was an important actor
and could not be dispensed with.
Mansfield came forward. would

Taylor felt that, as the principal
comedian. the best part belonged prop

Mansfield handed 1t to him. "By all
means" said he Here IL is," and he
handed over the manuscript covered
with interpretations, corrections and
business.
We resumed our rehearsals.
"You will allow me-" said Mansfield
to Farnie-"yOu will allow me the
same privilege with this new part you
were so generous as to accord me with
the other? Mr.. Taylor has the advan-
tage OF my suggestions on the other
character; you will permit me to do my
best with this"

work we went again.

day, little by little, his new part abb

Made n Costly Mistake.

A big commercial house in the mid
die west raised the salary of one OF its
officers to $4,000 year.
The officer was greatly pleased.
"Now my ambition Is satisfied he
said.
Within two years the concern had
found way to dispense with this Of
ficer's services. 1t was done cleverly
and smoothly. The man never suspect
ed the real reason why he was released.
The head Of the concern had over
heard his remark. I'VE want no men
In this business whose ambition Is sat
isfied," he said "When man Is salts
fed, when he ceases to plan and fight
for the future, we begin to lose money
on him. Woman's Home Companion.

ANOTHER VICTIM FOUND DEAD

who are seeking work in South Da-

morgue Of a local undertaking room,
awaiting Identification of some rela-

information concerning him or any
papers or mark of Identification
about his clothing, authorities have
been unable to secure any clew to
his name, home or relatives, since
the body was found, face distorted
and literally baked by the sun. in a

When found, the body bore no

THOUSANDS OWED
NO MONEY RECEIVED FOR IN
SANE PATIENTS-NAY GO
INTO COURTS.

Roughly estimated, Lake county
patients now in the state insane asy-
lum have cost the county upwards
of $4,000, and although where the
patients or their guardians or near
relatives r worth il, the county is
entitled to a refund for each pa
tents keep. the county has never.
SO far as is known, received a dollar
of reimbursement.
County Auditor NJ. ID. McGillivray
today gave the number of insane pa
tients sent from Lake county to the
state hospital. and who are still liv-
ing and being cared for in the asy-
lum as twenty-seven. The length of
time the mentally afflicted persons
from this county have been cared
for i'm the state institution ranges
from twenty years to a single day,
one oma just having been taken
there from here.
With an average of five years in
generation for each of the twenty
seven patients, at 1892 a year-the
states charge per patient-the total
amount expended by the county for
the proper maintenance of the men
tally %deranged would be 1920.
A test case, which will probably
determine whether the county must
not be compensated. especially where
the patient or those responsible for
him have property and means, will
probably be tried at an early date.
AT a recent meeting Of the county
commissioners. the states attorney
was authorized to bring suit against
the estate of James Dunn. to recover
money spent by the county i'm de-
fraying his expenses at the asylum.
James Dunn is one of two former
citizens of Lake county who has
spent approximately twenty years i'm
the asylum. He was sent from
ClarnO township, where he is said to
still own a large and valuable farm.
Another Lake county patient who
has spent twenty years in the insti-
tuition is Mrs. Marguerite DeyereauX.
The amount paid for the keep of
the patients now being cared for
does not include that given for many
Lake county patients who died at the
asylum or who were released as
cured.
There are At present more Lake
county insane patients at the state
institution than there ever were be
fore, according Ia the books of the
county auditor.

Investigations of paving in the yari-

He told that when he returned to

the Chamber of Commerce there that
his home city embark upon wood

In C%offeyyille. a city Of $4,000 in
habitants, we have sixty-six miles of

The doctor related that he had
found no city that was dissatisfied
with its wood block paving, despite
the fact that the initial cost Of laying
wood block paving is slightly great
er than is the cost of other street
surfacing materials.
Especially is that condition true
i'm Rochester" said DR.. Krug.
Wood block paving laid in Roches-
ter in 1911 Is as servieeable today
as ii ever was. and it retains its or
iginal smooth appearance. Brick
laid i'm Rochester on the hospital
street a few years ago is wearing

Referring TO rural roads, the doc
tor said that South Dakota is behind
her ~neighboring states in that re
spect. He said that as good roads
as he had travelled over were those
he had trayersed in Minnesota.
where the automobile tax is only so
cents a year, as compared with SO a
year in South Dakota. In Kansas
the automobile tax is SIS a year. He
said that he noticed that some South
Dakota roads are now being graded
up, but that he did not think there
is the enthusiasm evinced here in
good country highways that there is
in most other middle western states.
