Would Stretch Sail Cloth. -.
They used to spread large sail
cloth during rainy spells to protect the
actors and the poorer ones among the
crowd who could not get reserved
seats. The price of admission for
these people was not often more than
a penny.
Playwrights of those days did not
secure any vast sums for their work,
so that Shakespeare must have had
to turn largely to the more lucrative
profession of acting, as an additional
help toward the family purse. ~
1t is estimated that all in all his
plays brought him only a few hundred
pounds The salary for good actor
though was considerable, and the fact
that Shakespeare aniassed riches dur
ing his life in London is held as proof
by many that he was a success on
the stage. 1t is known quite positive.

Familiar with the drama of his
time in boyhood from the fact that
his father, through virtue of the posi-.
ton of chief municipal officer Of
Stratford, was a little board of cen
sors" of his own, holder of horses and
runner of errands for theater people
upon his arrival in London, and final
ly large stakeholder and player in
the Blackfriars and Globe theater,
William Shakespeare, the author,
wrote for the stage as one who knew.
Shakespeare grew wealthy from his
connection with the Globe theater,
and in the later days of his life re-
tired to Stratford, purchasing fine
large residence and land for his
family s....-.. =.
The growing spirit of Puritanism
had forbidden the populaee to the the.
aters, and the old theater, which had
been the center of the drama was torn
down in 1899 For the company that
acted there, however, new building,
the Globe theater, was erected on the
south bank of the Thames. Soon 9TH
ers were put up alongside and the
south bank of the river then became
the resort of the crowds ...g
Many Names for Company. H. +: -s.....s
Shakespeare's company was known
by various names as time went on:
Lord Leicester's, Lord Derby's Lord
Chamberlain and finally Kings
Players. Il
The Globe theater was octagonal
in shape, and had two galleries. The
stage was square box-hke struc-
ture that projected into the audience.
There were no curtains, but draper
les at the back of the stage covered
the entrance and exit of players.
Above the stage was a small bai-
cony which could serve for a win
dow from which Jessica could look
down at Lorenzo, or juliet say good
by to Romeo as the case might be.
There was no scenery except chairs,
settees, or the other paraphernalia
necessary for the scene. The audi

This was the song sung by i2-year-
old Pastino Louis, accompanied on his
autoharp by Superintendent A. K,
Harris of the KaKaako mission,
which characterized the "Fathers-and
Sons banquet at Central Union par
ish house last evening.
The jcllity began with singing col
lege songs by a group around the
piano, led by George Andruss of
the Kamehameha musical faculty, and
accompanied by General Secretary A.
K. Larimer of the Y NJ e, A " ID.
Doty, recent conner to Honolulu, de
lighted his appreeiative audience with
several selections through the even
ing on his mandolin. Doty's playing
is remarkable in that he manipulates
the strings so as to play HIS own ac-
compartment, feat which is prac-
tised by very few.
During the turkey dinner, with "all
the fixings," punctuated at frequent
intervals by popping crackers and
flaring red and green lights, G. III.
Dickey sang several rare songs, ac-
companied by himself.
Dr. s. ID. Earnes then gave some
whistling solos, which were followed
by some popular movies, among which
were some San Diego exposition pic
tures.
Tho2 followed short speeches by

auspices the get acquainted" affair
was held, and Rev. A. A. Ebersolc.

me men of Cleveland that the lack of
more friendly and coinpanionable rela-
tions between busy fathers and ener-

Never Beaten In Horse Trade
Jim Withee was Names David Harum
Was Famous for Funny Stories and Hearty Laughter
Popular Hotel Man.

This is but one of 1,000-yes 10000
anecdotes told Of Jim Withee, the
David Harum" of Maine, the most
entertaining story teller and the most
hospitable innkeeper who ever dwelt
within the borders of the Pine Tree
State.
Time was when he sent $50 horses
a year to the Boston market and as
many more to New York.
In person Mr. Withee bore all the
requirements of his own good story
telling. His figure was Falstaffian, his
eyes twinkled with genial fun and his
voice and enunciation were character
istically Yankee. He was a typical
boniface as he sat in the office of his
hotel, a huge meerschaum pipe hang
ing by some mysterious magnetism to
his front teeth, the bowl buried in the
bosom of his immaculate linen. He
will go down to fame with such inn
keepers as Landlord Moses of the old
Robinson House at Bucksport, the
prototype of "Old Jed Prouty," and
with the celebrated Barney McGould-
rick Of Cherryfield.
He was driving cattle across country
from Maine to the Brighton, Mass,
stock yards when he was 16. Even
then he could guess nearer to the
weight on the hoof than any cattle
sharp" in the State. He raced
'hosses" at Saugus and BradHeld, and
be was never missing at the 'punkin
circuit" races in Maine.
Men of all stations in life found
Uncle Jim the most delightful Of
companions. Governors and Justices
hobnobbed with hostlers as they lis
teneu TO MS tales. He would hold a
whole office full of hotel guests from
he time supper ended until midnight
with yarns OF the race track.
Once when he was on camping
trip at Belgrade Lakes the boys
thought to joke the old man. They
took the sardines out of can and
substituted uncoolled minnows. After
he had eaten few one of the boys
queried: well, how do you like 'em
Uncle Jim?"
"Well." he replied, "the lies awful
good. but the little cusses could
stand little more cookin" you under
stand"

Pennington, Me.-James Withee,
who died here recently, aged 79 years,
and who is survived by widow and
two chilren,was famous thruout New
England and widely known all over
the State of Maine as a hotel land
lord and horseman. He was a native
of the town of Winslow and had con-
Quoted hotels and livery stables in
Waterville, Lewiston, Rumford Falls
and Pennington.
Mr.. Withee was almost the last OF
the older horseman in Maine and was
