that of half a century ago. with its
muddy streets and bob-tailed one

He was such a little chap then
that he had to step nightly on the

Those were fast. furious days in ha

Mr.. Evans remembers.
There was a small haE on the pres

Across the stage and In front of it
was stretched a great screen of wire

audience might enjoy themselves. by

without doing much harm TO anybody.
This was part of the show, 1t seems.
Every one came armed-one with a
couple OF bad eggs. another with a
cabbage, another with potatoes or
some other product of farm and field.
The actors were hired by shrewd
management partly with view to
their somewhat absurd absorption of
the lines of Shakespeare
When one would strike a pose and
call, "a horse, a horse, my Kingdom
for a horse" the audience would let
go with its entire artillery, the mis-

affection, and declares that from him
he learned many lessons which some

He recalls that after they teamed

city. after he had borrowed $40 from
his landlady to. buy his railroad
ticket to the town.
At the end Of the week he and
Niles were paid off.
