''J w if - $ V - .)S3 S AN How Wraith n,l Fame Crew Out of null of Wrapping Vmpr and Couple or ItimI IVneiU Ha Story of "Mjr rartner." Hartley Camplioll Lad about four years of such exquisite enjoyment a is permitted to very few men. Hut ho lucked moral fitter and Lin great nnceeuwa overwhelmed him. When he found money rolling in iu a fashion that roiiii.xl really great wealth in a very few year he seemed to have nought excite ment of a different kind, which should bul nnoe the exhilaration and surprise that he found in the splendid change of fortune that canio iu a uight. TlnHafegunrd for men of Caiupt-H'g teineraiuent at aii'-lj times is tho family, and he hud a diurtuing one. But bo wnt his to i:uroo, ojid although ho lavUhed ull tho money they milled ujion them, yet he was lj oud tho restraining influences of do mesticity, and it i no doubt partially duo to this that he is now dead as ho has been intel lectually dead for two years or more. We suppose that Campbell's career will be come historic as that of the ono American jiot an actor who made a distinct pecuniary ticcett.-i an a playwright. It is, indeed, a pity that ho should have collapsed on the thresh ed of a career which, with a man of sterner resolve and greater self control, might per il .-rpt have uraJleled that of any of the win ners of great iecuniary prizes in dramatic -composition. The fact that Campbell actu ailly became famous and stepiied over the threshold which difjdes ;overty from wealth fu ono night is kuonn td every one', ut tV-ro aro some interesting aiul highly sug te; live incidents conuected therewith, which it is possibly to tell for the first time. In the ifvly sp.ng of 1S79 Campbell turned upin'Nev. York- almost in extremity, lie was in.k-l.to.1 to friends for tho bed on which he slept, and Vhen friend ho was frequei-aly oon."elled to 6 hungry, lie haunted out or two newspajHT offices, and sold a little matter, am." ww extremely grateful for tho aid thereby ob?JueL great a.s was his poverty, ho haS c J ttcteri.stio Irish way of living iu tho l0" and never lietraying auy of tho servilitJ'N clestioiideticy which usually beset the persou who is far to tho bad ecuniarily. One day in June, 1S79, Campbell met a friend on Broadway. The day was warm, and yet Campbell's root ho always wore a long tailed coat buttoned up to tho chin. All sorts of reflections were jiossiblo ut this queer midsummer garb, but Campbell was as light and trifling as though he had a tirJ: ook in his jtocket and a breakfast in liis Rtomai-h. Tho friend pretended that he was ju.st going to lunch and invited Camp bell to go with him. If the playwright did jiot understand the delicacy of the iuvitation wh'.ii it was given, he could not have failed to do bo when he saw the lunch, and be paid his entertainer tho compliment of eating a tenderloin steak as if he were bungry. As they separated Campbell's friend said: "I suspect your ship hasn't come in, Bartley, .r. i id I want you to tako this to remember me y." Tiio "this" was a $. bilL Campbell took it with eusy grace, smiled, declared he would return it with interest, and he did. lie afterward said that this $5 bill was tho turn ing ixint iu his fortune. With it he bought mo paper and a couple of lead pencils. The paper was of tho cheapest kind of white wrapping paper, and on it in two days' tinie lie wrote that act of "My Partner" which mailt) his fortune With n wad of this paper in his pocket he nailed out of his lodgings to find L lis Aldricb, who had won repute iu Joaquin J.Iiller's play of "The Danites." Aldrich gave a sigh of resignation when Campbell cornered him, and thought the easiest way to rid himself of what ho feared would be a bore was to permit Campbell to read the play. The playwright, with his flimsy sheets ill hand, liegan. At first Aldrich was bored, then entertained, then interested, then ex cited, and then, with dramatic enthusiasm, nibraced the colhirless playwright. Aldrich became moro enthusiastic than Campbell, nd promised at once to buy tho play and jravo tho playwright some earnest money on tho spot. So cuthasiastic was Aldrich that ho wanted to mouut the play and produce it ut onco. Behold, then, on the next morning an ambi tious author with some money and a strug gling play wright with none bound for Stam ford, Conn., to see A. M. Palmer. The man ager also sighed when ho saw them, and de rlincd ieremptorily to listen to any proposi tion respecting the production of a play. Ho was tirud, he said. He wanted to take his summer vacation in peace. Besides, he was on the point of going to New York and could not listen to them. Campbell's spirits came to the rescue. "You'll have an hour ou the train," he said, "and nothing to do. You .cau hear the play and pass the time away, nyway." They secured two seats in the far, turning them so they would face. Pal mer sat in the rear ono and Campbell and Aldrich faced him. Tho expression on Pal mer's face would have appalled a more timid uvau than Campbell. But he began to read. Palmer listened indifferently at first, but he ended by wiping his eyes. lie was affected to tears the first time and last time in his ex lerienco as a manager. Said he, when they reached New York, "You may have the Union Square theatre if you will mount and produce tho play. I will risk the rental on tho success of it." Mr. Campbell said to the writer when hit narrated the above history in 1SS3 that t week after .that play was produced be bad ' received propositions for plays which, could ho have . entertained them, would have brought him $40,000 in cash. lie also de clared that during no season since the play was produced up to that time, the winter of 1SS2, bad his each receipts been less than 10,003, and at one season be had made nearly double that. lie declared that ho had $00,000 invested in securities, which could be .turned into cash on the spot, and be esti mated himself to be worth at least $150,000, lie then expected to make $500,000 within five years, but said that ho had determined to take all the profits of bis play himself ind not allow actors or managers to take the cream. Mr. Palmer thinks that Campbell, lisd he poeressed good business sense and moral strength, would very likely have real ized this sum. Ho had caught the public ; car. He bad discovered eractly what the ' great masses of theatregoers like and knew ! Jiow.to utilize it, and be had gained sufficient ' capital to carry on bis enterprises, but be is I another one of those who endure the sor- rows and trials of poverty with far greater j success than the excitement of iro3perity. !

Tlr C 1 - VL , . rurUi. or froad. 8jrs Idy UAd- Why is It that &s s rule fat men are o much more amorous than thin menf Is it that they grow fat on the pleaitaut pastime of making love, while more intellectual pursuits run to skin and bone? Many fat men are simply rather stupid, good nulured and inordinately vain; they are generally the last, and it may be that the pleasant sensation of vanity is good nourishment. But it is surprising how often, given the opportunity, tho talk of fat men runs to flirtation or to fooL Of course I don't mean to say that a fat nun always talks of various dishes any more than that his conversation with a woman usually in cludes an offer of marriage. On the con trary, peihaJ, knowing his own weakness, ho is more chary of his proposals than are his lea uer brethren; by the same token he does not oienly diwourse on food, :but ho will amble off gently in its direction. He will tell you of the best dining places in every rontinental city ho hoi visited, or remark on the wretched cooking here, the insufficiency of service there. Perhaps he will tell you of his grajn-s or the size of his cucumliers, though grapes and oucumlers are not much in his way. He sometimes prides himself on his cellar, but ho will of tener know the ingredients of an out of the way curry, or have at his fingers' ends the names of places where you can get choice aud curious dishes. So in talking to women his conversation runs to little complimonts, arxia semblance of love making; he talks of marriage, hedges round it, aud smiles and looks up to see if they are pleased. When he sjMJaks of women it is from the old fashioned point of vfow that he considers them, for he is too fat to hurry on and catch up advanced ideas. A woman, he thinks, should be prettj-, irrev erent, saucy and given to fcmiliug and blush It is by a blush or a smile that )npn of iis typ? OX caught.

I have frequently noticed another curious trait; it is that after the first few indulgent minutes ho diverts bis conversation to bis own unx, and will almost ignore niifl, even (il a party of half a dozen, for as a rule good i .-"cdiug is not hi strong point. There ore ..(icms, of course, and I have known some chJ'rn,S ,es- ' a" on,y speaking pf tho majority " we a girl I would pray heaven to savexme from a fat man. Well it has. Many fat men have" ppde love, or tried to make love to me, but comparatively rew have come to the point. 5ur fat man is cautious, and does not commit himself to a direct offer unless he is certain that be means it, aud is equally certain that he will be ac cepted. As a rule he is certain of tup latter, for modesty is not his besetting virtue; be sides, he is of tho type that thinks all women are sighing for matrimony, longing for it as the one grand treat of their lives, and of a refusal it is difficult to make him believe the reality.

Buffalo News. The World's Oldest Rose Buslu The oldest rose bush in the world is at Hildersheim. It was planted more than 1,000 years ago by Charlemagne in comroemorar tion of a visit made ham by the ambassador of the Caliph Haroun-al-Raschid, of "Arab ian Rights" fame. A few years afterward when Louis the Pious, the son of Charle magne, was bunting in the neighborhood, moss was said in the open air. On returning to bis home, the officiating priest found that the holy i macro was missing. Returning to to the spot where mas bad been said, he dis covered the missing image in the branlips pf a wild rose tree. As it miraculously evaded his grasp he went back to Louis and his suite and them of tho wonder. They all rushed to the spot find fell on their knees be fore the ndraculous bush. A tthpdrol was built above it, its roots being inclosed in a sort of coffin shaped vault, under the middle altar of the crypt. This crypt was built iu theyvar 818, and ith Jhe lose tree it sur vived a fire which' destroyed all the restpf the cathedral in 114& The roots are over 1,000 years old. The rose plant was, when described a few years ago, still living and bloonr ing profusely, and wa twenty.-six feet high, covering thirty-two feet of wall, though the stem was only two inches in di ameter.

In this big City of Mexico, with rich houses, great churches, electric lights, street cars, juxurlpug shops and all the appjiances of civilization, tliure is not a single, solitary cafe where a lady can go without a male es cort to take an ieo or a light lunch. This is a humbug, and no wonder Mexican women are beginning, as they learn of foreign ways, to enter a protest against this selfish system, which turns a boy of 14 loose iuto a world of temptations, and forbids a modest girl the most innocent freedom. I have heard a lovely Judy, ihfc m&t Lr ut ft large family. say that she would feel unoomforiahle to so with her daughters iuto the principal restau rant here to order ices. But let her take a hobbledehoy boy along and the proceeding we'll'! be; proper enough. Greut is the magic of trousers.' ThVoesrtning tor the Mexican ladies to do is to get up a social revolution. and inform "Pepe" end "Pancho" that they will no longer be governed by the ghosts of dead end vanished Moors, whose sole living representative ue found iu the mct do graded corner of Africa. If nearly 1,900 j-ears of Christianity have not advanced civ ilization in a great Christian city so that the mothers of families and the charming daugh ters of t.boao mothers can go about in public enjoying all innooeuc liberties, why then we must confess our civilization a veneered bar barism, and that the brute mob is still too strong to permit women their just rights. The objection frequently made to giving greater sopia freedom to tho women is that tho men, being' of 'southet-n bioo3,"ie too passionate in their addresses, and would, if permitted to mingle moro freely with the women, begin to pay court to them and make love in earnest. But I don't believe thea ay less chivalry among Mexican men than exist3 a ni tbern nalipn. The overt. tress laid on love in Latin nations comes from tho Moorish seclusion in which the women live. The young men ore poet ical, aud talk of love when they should be plying pp or jiuiitiuf , and the mystery surrounding the life of '"ie Women stimu lates their fancies. It is an unhealthy sys tem when young men begin writing erotic verses at an age when outdoor sports should fcngage fbeir attention, ine boy m Latm countries sees, pf course, his mother and his sisters, but, like all lads, he has a decided taste for somebody else's sisters. He can't on tfleP familiarly, owing tQ tbis fine old Moorish etiquette, and so hit must cauf&fi himself to watching balconies and contriv- in means to smuggle notes to the adored one by some bribe ta-ing servant. XI be had been like an American lad, sent to a mixed school where he fuund put that tfiv's were very much like boys, and that soma are cross and disagreeable, soma too spoony and others too acid, he would not moke so much of a mystery pf the female sex. Bnt. not having passed through that period 6t disillusionment, he begins to make love when hardly out of short trousers. Cor. Boston Herald. Animals! Fi.-emonitipMS of Dsai!;. Mr. L.

Hero js pne of them: "Years ago." he says, f.'Iwas staying at a farm house where it was the custom every evening to' drive a small herd of cows from the pasture tq a lot near the barn. t was decided one day to kill one of the number, yea ling, whose mother also belonged to the herd. The calf was accordingly left in the lot, while the rest were driven as usual to the pasture. No sooner had the butcher slain his victim than there could be distinctly heard from the pas ture half a mile away the mournful lowing of the mother, the other cows occasionally joining in what could be described only as a wail. The circumstance interested me very much, and I walked over to the pasture. Through thirty years that pathetic picture of maternal grief has remained with me. It seemed to me that lUein yeas tui ac'ual sob bing of a bursting heart, and to my childish eyes there were tears moistening the face of the poor, gentle, sorrowful creature before me."

The Writer As lie Writes. When you just betriu to be an Hiitlmv ill. sight of the blank sheet of paper gives y-ou an appetite instead of depriving you f it. You long to be at work and cover it with ink marks. A new writer not ouly enjoys writ ing, but rewriting also; 1 have known authors who will copy out a piece, over and over again, until tho page appears without au erasu-o. That is not a Lad thing by way of practice, and would no doubt be advocated by the printers. But it is not likely to bo kept up more than two or threo years. After that the writer kuows what he is going to write before he writes it; ho has learned "the art of putting the contents of his mind di rectly on the paper; besides, he has not the time tq make ceppui- plate repiocluctior of his work. Ha is moro apt to put it off to tho last practicable moment, and then to do it as rapidly as he can. And by and by it will lw irksomo to him to do it at all; and ho w.Ul wiah that fortune would present him with a year's vacation, during which he could lie on his back and do nothing. 'There is a period, iu tha writing of every book when if iffectus impossible it should ever bo Gu'shed. What has gone before seenis bml, and what is to ccuiie is cither a blank, oj- it promises to be worse than tho beginning. An apathy, a paralysis, settles upon the worker; he wishes he bad taken up butchering or liquor selliug for a living.

Julian Haw thorne iu America. Priving Opt Iip Cattlpar,. Immigration is coming with a resistless tide. Ex-Goveinor itouit, oue of the ereat cattle owners of tho wcst, when speaking of how the ranges were being so rapidly set tled, recently said: MThe cow musi give way to Naiicy and th? Ijalif." The iudiuo tion of the coining of this groat tide of im migration was manifested by cattlem n put ting up wire fences and inclosing vast areas of land. This sufficed for a time, but immi gration still continued, and then after much litigation the pourte said: "Take dQY4 your wire fences." As the cattlemen occupied these great ranges for a quarter of a century before it was ever thought poiLle for them to have any value for agricultural purposes, it is not strange that they should have mado the determined fight they have. The plow share now glistens in the old ".A.meii.jau Desert"' and the old pattle trails are being turned into farms." The east can tardly realize the wonderful changes that are tak ing place. Within twenty-five years thij buffalo, which us! o foam these plains by tne sen ot thousands, aro almost extinct. Tho great herds of the cattle kings took tho place of the bison, but now the cattle rnugc-s aro being turned iuto farms. What will be the result Tho gnii-al im- preaoion is. that there will bp. nioro cattle, but With more owners. The public domain will soon all be taken, which will necessitate the dividing and subdividing of the great herds. The result will come about in a natural way and without loss, but rather with profit As lue grazing area becomes more circumscribed the greater the necessity for winter feeding and the production of some k.ind of ( oed thai will moie readily prepare stock for tho market. Such feed consists of alfalfa, sorghum Lay, Johnson and other varieties of farm grasses, oil cake, roots, etc., while in parts of western and southern Texas prickly pear la species of cacti) is being largely use with cotton seed nval 04: oil cake,' with which, it iu claimed cattle may be easily fat tened.
