Aa waa expected, tlie St. Kugene Min- ing company ia steadily employing more men, until In a abort time a full force will be employed, and the mine tie in full blast. Fur a abort time there waa a abut down, only 40 or 50 men being employed, but in a few dnya the milt wu opened up and run in thc daytime. Laat Monday it waa decided to run the tingle liift In tbe daytime and work tbe tame men half a night shift three nlgbti a week. The ore for tbe mill ia being obtained from tbe large dump below the Lake Shore No. 1 tunnel. Thus, although Moyie may be comparatively quiet for a abort time, in a few weekt it is expected that everything will be in full swing and Moyie resume her place as one ofthe livliest towns 00 the Crowa Nest Pass railway, PROSP8CTINO FOE GOLD Directly acroia the lake from tbe town on one of the creeks which flow down the mountain side, Frank Guidon and some companions are placer mining. They have built a sluice, aud although as yet only a short distance below the surface, have some colors and every indication of a paying proposition when they strike bed rock. They are steadily pushing on tbeir work and are confident of having a good^thing. Thia will nuke Moyie not only a lead and silver mining town, but also a gold producer. Thus, with mines and lumber, Moyie haa as good, or better backing than any town in the Kootenays. tun WATSRWOIXS Harold Pollard, the contractor, has now nearly completed the dam on Campbell creek and has every reason to feel proud of bis work. The place in which the dam is located was a hard one to work in on account of the deep gully, but where there ia a will there is a way, and Mr. Pollard found one. The structure is built of immense cedar timbers, firmly wedged into the solid rock, so that such a thing as a break away ia iut of the question. The reservoir is a large one, conais'ingof a natural basin, the outlet being between two high walls of rock, and across this opening the dam has been built. Work on laying the pipe will in a few days commence, and in a short time the town will have a water system of which it may be justly proud, THR SAWMILLS Last week an Immense boom of logs belonging to Park, Mitchell & Co, were taken from near thc mouth ofthe Moyie river down to the sawmill at the northern part of tbe towu. The logs are of the best and will wake very fine lumber. The mill which has been thoroughly overhauled has now started and the prospects are bright for a good season's work. The machinery for Grant & Sheady'a will ia expected in a short time aud on ita arrival work on thc milt will at once commence, ao aa to be ready for operations by the first of June. THR AURORA Tom Rader, who Is interested in the Aurora mine, returned last week from Spokane and laat Monday work on the mine, which had been suspended on account of tbe weak ice preventing a per son from crossing, wss resumed. Rader •& Johnson, the owners, intend pushing their work during the summer, so that the richness of their strike may be fully realised, THR I O. O. P, Last Sunday evening the Odd Fellows of Wildey lodge, Moyie, attended divine service in a body, Rev. G, B. Grigg preached an able sermon 00 Friendship, Love and Truth. The hall was tastefully decorated and appropriate music rendered by the choir. About 35 Odd Fellows were present, which was a good representation considering the number of members how away from town. RUPIRR DAY On Kmpire day, May 24, the Independent Order of Foresters of Moyie, intend to give a dunce. It will be held in the Odd Fellows' hall and promises to be a greet success, GRNRRAL NOTES C. O.

AN OPEN SESSION FMDAY NIGHT The Annual Services Were Held Sunday at the Presbyterian Church. SERMON PREACHED 8V REV. FORTUNE Last Friday was the -Band anniversary of Odd Fellowship ou the American continent, and tbe members of Key City Lodge, No. 42, of Cranbrook, celebrated the occasion that evening in a most fitting manner. A short session of the lodge waa held aud then tbe goat v. as locked in the dark cell, the doors thrown* open to admit the families and friends of the members. It was a large gathering and a happy one. Noble Grand Rockendorf was In tbe chair, and iu presenting tbe numbers of the short piogram prepared, be waa assisted by Vice Grand Leitch. Miss Rhoda Leitch gave an instrumental solo, Mrs. W. T. Reid sang aud Mr. W. T. Reid gave several selections on bis gramaphone, Rev, Fortune had been selected to deliver the address for the occasion, and be spoke most entertainingly on tbe subject of Odd Fellowship. Afler the close of tbe program elegant refreshments, which bad been furnished by the ladles, were served. When tbe dishes had been cleared away, several ofthe members aud visitors were called upon for two minutes' talks, and theu an adjournment was taken. Tbose preseut all voted tbe evening a most enjoyable one, aud those who wero not Odd Fellows thought tbat it was well (0 be a member of the order. The Aaaual Service. The annual service of the Odd Fellows of Cranbrook was held last Sunday afternoon at ibe Presbyterian church, Rev. Fortune, who is a member of Key City lodge, of tbis city, preaching the sermon. The members of the local lodge aod other members of tbe order gathered at the lodge room at 1:30 to lhe number of 43. William Small waa appointed aa marshal of the parade, aud a double line was formed in accordance to tbe rules of tbe order, and the line of march taken up for the church. Seats had been reserved for tbe members, and led by Rev. Fortune, with the collar of chaplain on bis shoulders, ihey entered the church and took tbe places assigned to them. Music had been specially provided for (be occasion, and the service throughout was a very impressive one. The pastor spoke of Odd Fellowship and the rein tiou of the order to humanity in general, aod said In language mast emphatic that no church or member of a church should criticise Odd Fellowship, so long as the church itself is neglecting the noble work performed by tbe Odd Fellows, He stated tbat any mau who took upon himself the obligations of Odd Fellowship must suicly be a better, nobler and purer man for having done so, for the teachings of tha order were ennobling and elevating. Yet, it did not follow tbat all Odd Fellows were good and true men. Seciet orders were not infallible, and men crept into these organizations that were not 0 credit to tbe order or themselves, Vet, this fact waa not an argument against Odd Fellowship from a Christian standpoint or a chnrcb standpoint. The church of Christ bad to contend witb the same thing. Tbere were men wh o got into the church as good men and true, yet wbo allowed them selves to be rank hypocrites. The fact tbat tbey were tbere was no argument against Christianity or tbe divine teachings of the meek and lowly Christ. Members of the church should bear this in mind when they would criticise and condemn Odd Fellowship. The speaker dwelt upon the beautiful lessons of the order, aud dilated 00 Ihe triune tenets of the order, Friendship, Love and Truth, aaylng In closing, tbat there was every reason why Odd Fellows should be in touch witb the Christian church, since tho foundation stone of tbe order were the teachings of the living Christ. At the close cf the services the members of the order formed Iuto double file and marched back to the lodge room from which place lhey dispersed. JUST A FEW PICK-UPS J, W. H. Smythe, formerly manager ol the Canadian bank of Commerce at Cranbrook and Fort Steele, and now holding a similar position in Greenwood was in town two days this week on bis wny home from Ottawa. Mr. Smythe visited the east as a member ot the British Columbia delegation, and he says be believes tbe delegation's work will result in good to tbe west, lince it bad a tendency to open tbe eyes of some of the eastern people as to the rapid develop ment that haa taken place in thia part of tbe Dominion. He is of tbe opinion tbat the aubsidy will be granted to refineries, as one ofthe beat methods to promote the mining interests of the Dominion. Speaking of Cranbrook and her growth during tbe past year, Mr. Smythe said: "I see that Craubrook continues to grow in size and prosperity. It is wonderful what tbe town is doing. Although 1 keep in close touch witb the place, yet I was greatly surprised to see the changes, and all of them for the batter. Truly Cranbrook is destined to be a favorite spot as a residential city. The hill sides tbat two years ago were covered witb pine trees and nudergrowth, are now the sites of many handsome homes. And, speaking of your bouses, I see lhat they are all modern and e credit to a town many times tbe aize of Cranbrook. Tbe town is all right, and I am pleased to see it, for I will always hold a warm place fu my heart for Cranbrook aud her people," N- H. Gouvreau returned* laat week from an eslended visit to the east. During the past few weeks he spent -round erable time in Ottawa, and naturally had something to Bay to different members he kuew and met about (he woudeiful resources of British Columbia. He says it is deplorable fact that the majority of the members have no conception ofthe impottance and wealth of this province, and little or no idea of the development (hut has taken place here during tbe past few years. Mr. Gauvreau is of the opinion tbat most of the representative.1) need a system of education on the resources and possibilities of tbe great west, antl until they are educated iu that direction (be west is bound to suffer from lundiquate legislation. WE GOT IT IN THE NECK "We found both Spokane and Ross laud rather quiet," said James Ryan, who relurned Tuesday with Tom Well- man from a brief visit to both places, "I asked one man iu Spokane what was the matter and he aald with a chuckle, 'McKinley.' I guess he must have been a Democrat. In Rossland, although the payroll last month was over $300,000, there seemed to be a lack of business. The clerks In the stores were idle and tbe bars were doing very little business. Tbey attributed tbe trouble there to the labor conditions, aa there seems to be fear of a shut down, and tbe men are not spending any more money than is absolutely necessary. At the line on our return home we had some trouble over our health certificates, as the officer first refused to accept them on Ihe giounda that he did not know Dr. King. I told bim that probably King did not enjoy the pleasure of his acquaintance, bat that Ihe certificate was given by ■ health officer and would have to go, Well, they did, but be took them away from us. I guess be wanted them as souvenirs." A SUDDEN DEATH. W. N. Clarke Return. W. N. Clarke, who left Cranbrook with the Strathcona Horse, returned yesterday from his borne in Ontario. Mr. Clarke la looking as it he enjoyed good health, and yesterday he was busy greeting his many friends. He will probably remain in Cranbrook. When he returned to his home in Maootlck, tbe people of tbat vicinity joined In presenting him with a fine gold watch, fitly Inscribed as a gift for his services in South Africa. Tbe gift is a beauty, and one that any mau might well feel proud of, H»ry ft. Mary, 1 Mlaer, Eielres Oa Ike Platform et Fort Steele J sac lias, Last Friday morning when the weat bound passenger train slopped at Fort Sleele Junction, a man stepped off and staggered to a seat on a trunk near the door of the atation. The train pulled out and the man sat there, looking around him in a most pitiful manner. To the agent, who approached him, he said, "Tbia is uot Ctaubrook? I want to go to the hospital. I am afraid I am going to die." Five minutes afterward he expired on tbe atation platform. Coroner Moffat was notified and went over to tbe junction that afternoon, and the remains were brought back on a freight train. The man proved lo be Henry St. Mary, a miner who had recently left the Norlh Star mine for Blairmore, aud was returning to Cranhrook to the St. Kugene hospital when he got off at the junction and died. A post mortem was held Saturday and the coroner's jury brought iu a verdict of death due to a complication of diseases. The remains were taken in charge by the Kimberley Miners' Union, President J. O. Reiley coming to Cranbrook for tbat purpose, Fuueral services were held st the Mission where the remains were interred. A Orcat Coacert. On next Wednesday evening a concert, will be given at the Methodist church lhat promises to be the most successful musical event in the history of South Bast Kootenay. Mrs. W. T. Reid baa been training a cboiua of between 3° and 40 voices for the pest month, preparatory to presenting a mass on tbat date. The undertaking is a big one. and those wbo are going to lake part bave been practicing two and three times a week and are putting forlh every effort to make tbe concert a complete success. Tbe people of Cranbrook should liberally patronize such work on the part ofthe musical talent of tbe towu. Goverooient Cats Dowi Appropriate for This District. 1EP1ESENTAT1VE SMITH IS KICKING Compulsory Arbitration in Labor Disputes is Being; Urged by Smith Curtis. TWO WEEKS MORE OF THIS SESSION From The Herald ror res-, "indent Victoria, B, C , April 37 —In conversation witb Mr, Smith today, your reporter learned tbat he bad several grievances against tbe government. Not only- have they failed ts provide for the construction of the Coaat-Kootenay railway as a goverument work, adding to the burden ol tavation the poor man bears by increasing the revenue tai to five dollars per annum, and a few other sins of omission and commission, but tbey have failed tu properly provide for the needs ofthe district in tbe estimates just brought down. He made a requisition fur 133,00*1, but tbe government saw fit to scale the appropriations down to $30,- 000. Tliis Htiiui), declared Mr. Smith, in view of lhe big revenues paid into the provincial treasury by tbe district is nothing short of an outrage, when other constituencies, which happened to return government supporters at the last election, nud paying less (hau oue ball (he .revenues, are given two or three times as much as doled out to his riding. Mr- Smith informs us (hat he will bave souiething to sny ou this point when lhe estimates are under consideration, and (hat he will speak bis mind pretty freely, too, Il is not likely tbat the session will last more then a couple of weeks lorger us the goverument bas all of its work pretty well in band, aud beginning Monday two sittings will be held daily so that a bill maybe advanced two stages in one day, This will clear tbe order paper In a few days. Martin's champerty bill waa slashed all to pieces in committee Thursday. Its author now refuses to recognize it and it will probably be abandoned. If passed it will not materially alter the present law. The Coal Mines Regulation Act passed committee Friday and was reported, Tbis measure will require miners to pass an examination and secure a certificate of competency before he may be permitted to work in a coal mine aa a miner. This bill will receive its third reading and become law on Monday. Smith Curtis informs ua that he will introduce a bill providing for the compulsory arbitration of labor disputes, and although very late in the session he hopes to secure its passage, or falling In tb'a wilt place every,member of the house on record on this question. Mr. Curtis evidently has an eye to a future campaign when some ot tbe members will be appealing to the "Dear Working- man." Finance Minister Turner made his budget speech Monday aud it la expected that the debate will last but a day or two, as Curtis will be almost alone in discussing it from tbe standpoint of an oppositionist. Martin is now numbered among the government supporters, while Hsrry Helmcken disagrees with the executive ouly on the question of railway policy. With the estimates out or the way the Ggbt on the loan bill will have the boards, but it is likely to prove a very smell fight after all. With Martin's flop to the government and a peace patched up wilb (he bolters it is not likely that there will be a dozen votes against tbe measure. By-tbe-way, this bill is being received with favor by all parties. It Is said that it will shut out the American roads which seek to exploit (be province for their own benefit, is directed against the C. P. K-, and will ultimately compel tbe government (o construct the lines as demanded by tbe iuleresls of the province. With this law, tbe province will certainly be protected fully though construction may be delayed somewhat in some cases. With the introduction of this bill all the rancor caused by the late war is dying out, and now that tbe campaign in favor of the V. V. & ti. has ended and its agents have ceased to appeal tothe prejudices against the C. P. R.; the people are doing a little thinking and a decided change is taking place in public sentiment bete towards that corporation. It Is now recognized tbat the charges made by the V. V. & K. promoters against the C. P. R. were in most cases founded on falsehood and misrepresentation, and the arguments in favor of their company were not well founded. It was claimed tbat the road built aa an Independent line would give competition in rates, as then it could not be shown that it would In any way compete with the C. P. R. In the Grat place the two roads would have uo competing points, and if they could have, the rates on tbe C. P. R. lo Hritiah Columbia are iu almost every case lower than those of the Great Northern, in Washington. In this connection it is also recalled that llie rates on the Crows Nest Pass and Columbia & Western, while apparently high may not in reality be so, and tbat if so the busi- ness men and shippers on these lines can secure redres.* by appealing to tbe federal government, which bas absolute control of the rates on these roads. At present, however, the rates given by the company are in most instances lower tban those fixed by the government afier the completion ofthe railway a couple of years ago. All these things are now being taken into consideration, though forgotten a few weeks ngo, and the C. P, R., that one time octopus ia rapidly regaining Ibat measure of public favor which its enemies claimed it had forfeited. 4****44*i**J4»«*fft*Mffff |fernie| I News Fron the Cosl Metropolis *» * t 4-l*i-M-M**-»*4tffftt(fttt»t .

The residence of the old town ate feeling pretty sore and are disposed (0 register a pretty strong kick over the fact that the pest bouse is still maintained in tbe old town. There is uo doubt but tbat there is a good deal of truth in the statement made by these piople and some action should be taken at once by the authorities to have tbe building removed. Mr, S. W. Flowers relurned on .don- day from a trip to Denver, Col., and olher American cities. Chas. Feterita and Miss Rose Annen, of Fernie, were united in marriage by Rev.

The charge was laid by S. VY. Flowers, of Michel. The accused will be brough to Fernie for trial.

A Revelstoke Herald representative obtained an interview Inst week with Mr. J. Douglas Walker, K. C, und Mr A, O. Kirby, the two rep resell tali ves of a group of London, Kng , capitalists who recently came out prepared to invest largely in Lurdneu mining properties, Mr. Walker expressed himself nt length aa follows: "As the mining industry is berthing to take a foremost plnce among the industries ofthe country, and is really al the foundation of all the other industries, building up towns nnd cities ant! furnishing a market not only for the goods of tbe wholesale merchant, but lor the products of the three other most important industries ofthe province, viz . lumbering, farming and fishing, it seems that tbe time bus come when ibe taxation on mining should be revised. Miners in common with traders, are called on to pay an annual license fee, nnd in regard to this there is perhaps 110 ground for complaint, except thut in lhe mining elates to the south and in Ontario nml Quebec no nieh fee is Imposed, fie nest has to pay lor recording n claim n fee of $3.50 and for recording his outlay, which has been for thc ultimate benefit of lhe lute he hns to pay a iee ot $2 50 each year Tor five years. After doing lus five years work and paying the fees 1 linv«* mentioned it costs him several hundred dollars to secure a crown grant. AH this must be expended before there is' any certainly of n return for the money nnl time expended, and il is fair to assume that perhaps ouly one claim out of forty or fifty ever proves marketable. "The owner theu begins to develope his mine. If he uses a water power there is au annual fee for that. For all the nber he uses from his claim the gov- nmeiit charges him (5P Ctjnft per cord. "All litis it mult be remembered, is in addition lo the heavy customs tax the miner, in common with all the rest ot the population, has to pay on tools, ■lothing and foon; and the heavy expenses be is put to get all these thing!- o the scene of his labors, which usuull) lies iu a more or lessltiaccessible place and thousands of miles from llie ntauu faclutfng centers.

By Iti Vac (he Drummer Gained a Profitable Cnitomer, "It's a hard life, that of the drummer," feaid one recently to whom 30 ynrds ot hard work had given the right to speak with authority. "It's a hard life, but it's an Interesting game and gives a man a close hold on facta and realities. Thc drummer learns In a hard school, but he does learn, and the lessona pay. Whnt Is the first lesson he haa to learn? Hon* to manage men; how to approach a reluctant or an indifferent or a suspicious buyer io as to win his confidence and overcome hia indisposition. "Experience teaches this better than anything else, though some men learn it more easily than others. I remember when I first began to travel as a salesman, when I wns hardly more tban a lad, I had an experience that proved valuable to me. There was an old fellow on my route who had been known for years as the terror of all traveling men. He was declared to be absolutely the worst na- tured, worst mannered fellow they had ever met anywhere, but I hadn't even heard of him then, and bo I entered his store very confidently and handed him my card. He took it without even glancing at It, tore It into bits and threw the pieces on the floor. 'Now, air,* he said to me, 'get out of my store.' There were two pretty young girls In the store, who did not understand the proceeding and who looked at me as I walked out aa if I bad been nn escaped convict. "Well, I smarted for several days over that affair, during which time I made np my mind thut I'd even matters up witb hlm If I could next time. So before I visited his town again I had a card made expressly for my good friend. It looked exuetly like the one 1 used before, only that it was made of tin. When I reached his town, I waited until I saw the store pretty well filled with people, and then I walked In and gave bim my card, He took It just as before, glared tt me and gave the card a twist, "But lt didn't fall on the floor In bits this time, and he only succeeded In giving his wrist a wrench and raising a titter among his customers, "I was nearly out of tbe door by this time, for I really didn't think my life wus safe, but be called after me, and I went back. 'Come Into my office,' said he. I went lnt expecting never to come out. " 'What do you want to sell me?' he asked me. " 'Dress goods,' I responded, " 'Well, go on.' And I actually sold the old curmudgeon f 1,000 worth of cloth be fore I left. For yenrs after, so long o- he lived, In fact, bo was ono of my beat customers and one of the best frleudi I aver made in my business.' Ifreet Merta tirn-L.

(Special) Nflst.ni Lellur, JiiBticc of thu Peace uf tliis place, vouches for the truth of thu following interesting story, told by Mra. Tliomus-j Hughes. Verification, however, will not be necessary to those who know Mrs. Hughes, ua thai lndy is ono of the iiioNi highly respected residents of (!rvy County. Mrs. Hughes suya :—■ "1 Wns u great sulTcrcr fur four yearn. 1 waa treated by four doctors, and a specialist from Ult) United States, 1 tried nearly ovory kind of tui-tliriiii- 1 could bear of, hut HQMl aoo'mou to do ino any good. "I was in bed for nearly Ibreu yearn, I had paius in my spinal column, in my head, over iny eyes, across my buck, through my left oltfo, ami occasionally in my right side. "For threo nights at a Linie, I would never closo iny oyes in Bleep. 1 wns terribly bloated, hu lhat 1 could not sit up or walk. My i,g>* was '11 when 1 was taken sick. "1 have taken iu .ill fourteen boxnn Dodd'H Kidney Pills, nud now I tun strong, and able to do as good a day's work, as I huve ever been. Tlie doctors said I had Itlieumatism, They saiil Unit nothing could be done for mo, "I waa not able to cut anything, only corn starch or soup of somo kind. My weight hud increased from 112 to 147 pounds. I am now down to my normal weight again. I can never say enough for Docld'a Kidney Pills, for 1 am satisfied that they saved my lifo." There are many ladies suffering ns Mrs. Hughes did, although but few may be ns low as sho was. Deranged kidneys nre responsible for almost nil tho trouble that comes to women in middle life, nnd no woman can afford to be careless, when her kidneys are in any wny threatened. What eured Mrs. Hughes* of this very bad case will cure any case. Dodd's Kidney Pills aro the only remedy that ever cured Brlght's Disease, Diabetes, or Dropsy, and lhey have never failed. PREPARING CAVIARE. Proceia by Which the Toothlomi Edible In Untie Marketable. By far the most valuable byproduct obtained from tbe sturgeon Is tbe roe, from which the valuable commercial product called caviare is prepared. For this only the hard roe of the "cow" fish la supposed to be u,sed. The manner oi preparation is as follows: After the egga have been removed from the fish they are placed In large chunks*- upon a Btainl, the top o. which is formed of a small meshed screen. On tbe underside is arranged a zinc lined trough, about 18 inches deep, 2 feet wide and 4 feet long. The operator gently rubs tin* mass of egga back and forth over thr- screen. The mesh is Just large enough to let the egga drop through, and as lhey aro separated from the membrane by the rubbing they fall through into the trough nnd arc thence drawn off Into tubs by means of t Eliding door at the end of th? trough. After all the roc has been separated ths tub Is removed and a certain proportion of the best Luncberg (Germany) sail added to tbe roc, after which the operator carefully stirs and mixes the mnss with bis hands. The most delicate part of thc whole operation is In the mnnucr of miring. No direct rule can be given for doing this portion of thc work, as the condition of the roe regulates the time consumed and the manner of hnndlins:. It requires practical experience to become proficient. After adding the salt the mass of eggs first dries up, but In 10 or in minutes the strength of the salt draws from the eggs their watery constituents and a copious brine Is formed, which can bo poured off when the tub becomes too full. The salted eggs are poured into very finely meshed nit*ves, which hold about ten pounds each. In the cavlnre hnnse nre usually arranged long, sloping bourn, with narrow strips nailed ou each side. On these tlm sieves nre placed and are left thore from 8 to 20 hours lu order to thoroughly drain. The eggs bnve now become caviare of commerce nud are transferred to smnll ensUs of either oak or pine, which havo beeu steamed In order to prevent nny possible leakage; the disks ore covered und allowed to stand until the gna escapes and the eggs settle, 'llio vacant space caused by the settling is then filled, nnd thc citHk bended up nnd put In a cool place until ready for shipment. The casks cost about $1 each nnd bold about 185 pounds net. It requires about 11 quarts ot salt to prepare a keg of cavlnre, Mlmlehlni the Queen. Few peoplo nre perhaps aware how thoroughly Queen Victoria enjoyed n Joke. A gentleman in waiting, whom we will call Mr. B—, distinguished for his Imitative powers and dramntlc tnlent, was a frequent visitor at both Windsor and Osborne. One day the queen, looking with a certnln austerity straight Into tils fnee, demanded: "Now, Mr. B—, I nm perfectly well aware that when my bnck U turned you Imitate me. I wish to sec bow you do ll this minute!" Poor Mr. B— fell straightway Into the royal trap, crimsoned, faltered and utterly lost hia countenance, "Ah," exclaimed the queen. "I Bee 1 was right! You ought to be ashamed of yourself l" nnd tbeu added, laughing as heartily as any schoolgirl, "But, mind yuu, don't do It again." !■ th* Daaapa. "I heard a man the other day" said o philologist, "give a novel derivation for tbe phrase Mn tbo dumps.' According to hlm, Dumops, an Egyptian king, built a pyramid and died of melancholy, and from Dumops' name and the story linked with It our word 'dumps' Is derived, That Is very Ingenious and striking, only, like so many Ingenious and striking things, it happens to be false. Our word 'dumps' comes from tbe Danish 'dump,' which means dull, low, depressed. The word, Indeed, runs through a number of languages."* " '' A Contrast.

"A tragedian told me a rather peculiar story oh to ti breakdown thnt happened tti hlmselfi In lho middle of ono of his spcci-lifs a lndy dressed In bright red cume into the hin IK and, watching the patch of brilliant color, the actor forgot tils words, The next evening n kind of lerror seized upon hlm lest some oue la red should ngnin tnko a seat and he repeat Ills previous night's uiifurtniuito performance So strong lind this iVuing hi'conio thut, after three or four nights, thut mau actually bought his wife a bright red dress and got her tu sit in tbe stalls so that ho might overcome his apprehension. "Another mnn I know plays in musical comedy. He never forgets the lines of bis spoken parts, but often makes a slip iu a song, lie comes to the end of a Hue and can recall nothing but the beginning of thc next verse, aud he hns to stop the orchestra and begin over ngnin. Some singers, when ln this predicament, just sing on Mum-tl-tum' to the tune till the words come hack. Borne have told me that having once been at sea with their words they are sure, out ot nervousness, to mnkc another slip the same evening. They arc so anxious to avoid another mistake that their minds can think of nothing but tbat they must remember their words. In singing, the tune, of course, somewhat assists yon to remember tbe linos, "As you know, tbe prompter usually comes to tbe rescue of the player so stranded. But occasionally that official is not at his post, and then the mon on the stage has to .wrestle with his brains. Sometimes one of the company will, perhaps very audibly, supply the omission. While some players when they brenk down resume as best they can and take no notice of tbe mishap, others gag or tako tbe audience into tbeir confidence. Said one over tbe footlights: 'Now, those are just the very words I thought I should forget The gas man called ai I. was learning them,' Another, on coming to one of these awkward full stops, said: 'Pardon me, please. I was thinking whether tbere was enough of that cold chop to do for supper and quite forgot my words.' These things sound poor enough to relate, but at tbe same time they 'go' well enough. "One singer who broke down sold: 'Look here! We'll get over that difficulty by dropping the verso altogether. You'll still get your money's worth, for I'll sing the last verse twice.1 There Is one little trick that usually goes down well. The singer bas foiled and bas had to appeal to tho prompter. When he finishes his song, be darts off and drags on tbe prompter—probably In bis shirt sleeves— to share lu tbe applause, which Is usually quite enthusiastic. "Well, as most players keep their memories in hand, as 1 must say, some peculiar tilings have happened. In one play an actor 'doubled' two parts. lie was an olil man in the prologue and a young one later on, and In each be had a longish speech to mnkc. These speeches he alwnys attempted to transpose, and one niglit ho got out some four or five lines ef tho wrong speech ere he realised what he wns doing. Another man played In a piece having a darkened scene. Stepping on ,o the gloom shrouded stage, he, to no one's surprise more tban bis owu, commenced a portion of a part that he had played In another drama having a similar 'lights low' episode. "There are some vocalists who cannot trust themselves to sing n single note In public without the printed or written words. This Is awkward If they obtain engagements—and most seek thciu—on the vnrlety stage, for there, as you kttow, It is not the custom to hold music In the hands. Some ball-id singers aud otbera write tho words very small on a card nud hold this In the palm of the hand. 1 heard ot one man who, singing three new nml rothcr difficult songs, adopted tbis lit tio device. He got so used to having the words there thnt ho Was afraid to do without them. When he changed to other songs, he attempted to dispense with the paper, but ho fouud lhat he hod become so UBcd to having It to look at now and again tbat he was 111 at ease and awkward before bis audiences without It. "Iii opera breakdowns arc uot, I think, frequent. You see, opera Is special work. Tlie opera season Is nn event thnt excites great Interest, and all renderings nre inevitably contrasted with those of other great singers, This puts the players on their mcttlo nnd keeps them excited about their work. They hnve no chnncc of pliiying and Hinging mechanically, nnd so their memory does not often fall them. Any slips thnt do occur are usually caused by nervousness. I henrd of one prima donna who, In a new opera, bad a particularly fine song to sing. So eager was ■ho lo get to this that by mistake she sturtrd It Instead of oho that should bare preceded It. Tho conductor luckily saw the Blip Instantly, and, rousing his men, he cleverly went with the singer. She faltered a littlo as tbe truth flashed upon lier, but, having the music ell correct, sho sang tho song out and earned grent npplauBc. "As I have snid, however, while you remain thoroughly interested In your work you are not likely to experience a brenkdown. On a long ruu the opposite Is tlie case, and It Is when you are so familiar with the words that you don't bother aboutflthem that yon suddenly discover you have for the time being lost them altogether."

Several Chicago busiuess men last week discovered ti brand new cou- ftdpnee game which cost them from $20 to $50 apiece. In manner of wording it resembles the loci; game, but is much more clever, fully ns sine In its results, and, nil In nil. n trick that Is likely io catch the wisest personi. A well dressed Btranger walked Into the Boyce building bullet Inst Monday and exchanged n quarter ror n drink und cigar. .lust as he turned to go out he stooped to ihe floor nnd apparently picked up a gold tipped fountain pen. II was uf line wuikiiinnsliiii nnd must hnve cost lis owner al least $!0, "Something of u find/' murmurt'd the strauger, us he placed the pen on the bur. "Guess we will Imve to have Another oue on that. Try It and see If It will write." The bartender ranched for n sheet of paper nud unseiewiug ihe iieuhulder round tlmt ii was 11 Uud with black Ink ami that the pen; Which wns diamond pointed, wrote as sinuullily ns a quill. Several present tried It In order to test its good qualities, Just at tills point a second stranger entered Who hnd beeu mound curlier In the dny. luul spent a little uiouey and had departed, "Say, when 1 was here nwhile uro I lost iny gold pen. Any of you fellers seen anything of one';" he said. "Whut klud of tt pen was It?" asked one of the proprietors. "Gold cap nml head, diamond tipped, gold pen, 'bout live Inches long, foreign make, nnd was tilled with red Ink." "Look anything like this one?" queried stranger No. 1, as be held up the peu he bad pretended to flud just previously. "That's tlie pen, suro enough. Thanks. Come up, boys," wns the an* swer. "But you snid yours was filled with red ink," some one remarked, As this was said the stranger traced several lines on thc paper lying on the bur. The Ink was black, even Jelllkc in color. All saw this except the claimant of the pen. "Yes; I said red, and I mean red, carmine red, and no mistake. I know my pon when I see It, and don't you forget It. Como, hand Hover." The pen had reached the proprietor's bands, who tested It himself,. There was nothing red about Its contents that he could see. Tlm Ink was of the blackest bite. One word followed another between tbe two strangers until tlie nihil who claimed the pen offered to bet $1U0 the pen wns hts property and contained red Ink. Coolly the first stranger brought out bis pocketbook. He bod but $40 with hlm. "Lend me $50." said be, "on this ring or come In halves ou the bet. It's a sure thing." All thought so, nud Iu less than a minute the moiiey had been placed. "Now try the pen for yourself." said the stranger who was betting on bluck. "Guess I kudw my own pen," observed thc second stranger us be gave a quick Jerk downward with tho holder ns If to force the ink Into the pen. "Let's have a clean Bheet of paper and see what thc mark will be like." Throwing the pun hand forward with a decided jerk ouce or twice, the stranger took tbe paper and in a bold, easy, running band wrote: "Fools are born every minute." Tbe letters were plainly transcribed In red ink. Iu fuet, tho pen would not write In black. Tbe $200 bet was collected, and drinks were bought. The gentleman having proved ownership of the pen placed it In his pocket and went away. .Shortly afterward the other left, and It wasn't until Detective .lack Flymi of tho central detail came In that the boys realized tbey had parted with their moucy ou another man's gume. The reservoir of thc pen Is divided by a partition, each side of which connects with the feeding valve ot the pen's nub. A small point projects on the lower side of the penholder. The Inks nre easily changed from one color tu another by simply pushing the slide. The trick Is a good one, as many cuu testify to their Borrow.
