LST OF A FAMOUS COMPANY
Only Survivor of Christys Minstrels a
Resident of New York State
In the little hamlet of Johnsonburg
Wyoming County lives the only sur
vivor of the famous old time Christy
minstrels the pioneers in negro min
strelsy William A Porter by name or
as everybody in those part calls him
Uncle Bill Mr Porter is an old man
now being nearly SO years of age but
in form he is erect and his step is firm
iWhen he relates reminiscences of those
early days when minstrelsy was strug
gling for a -foothold his eyes are as
bright as ever He has a wonderful
memory and the stories he tells of his
eventful career before the footlights
are very entertaining
Asked where the first minstrel com
pany was organized he replied Ed
win P Christy formed the first com
pany of negro minstrels the world ever
saw Its inception was in the city of
Buffalo in 1S42 The idea was a new
one and the people of good society were
inclined to look askance at a perform
ance that delineated Jim Crow How
ever adverse opinion was gradually
overcome and in 1S45 the first perform
ance in a regular theater was given in
the old Eagle Street Theater where
now stands the Hotel Iroquois
Buffalo society gave Christy and his
company the stamp of its approval and
his prosperity as a minstrel manager
was thereafter assured It was at
this time that Mr Porter joined the
as a banjoist and bass singer
ranking his debut April 5 1S45
Stephen C Foster the composer of
over 100 songs among which were
fcCWay Down Upon the Suwannee Bib
ber My Old Kentucky Home and
Massas in the Cold Cold Ground
Tvas a member of the troupe Mr Por
ter sang Way Down Upon the Su
wannee Ribber long before it ever
saw the light in a publishers office In
those days crownless headgear over
alls and rag bag clothes constituted the
minstrels wardrobe except the quar
tet always a prominent feature ia ev
ery minstrel organization who were
attired in full dress black suits and
white vests
Mr Porter remained with the Chris
tys nino years visiting nearly every
town and city of prominence in the
United States Canada England and
Australia finally becoming manager of
the company Retiring from the organ
ization in 1S54 he settled on his little
farm in the county of Wyoming

HER RUDE AWAKENING
He Hnd a Reason for Not Thinking of
Her All the Time
She looked into his eyes softly ten
derly tremulously He was her hus
band and her hero Surely he could be
that seeing that they had been mar
ried only a year Next year he might
be only her husband but this is not a
story of anticipation
She was a dear housewifely little
woman plump and pretty and ever
studying how home could be made hap
pier for her hero She made a perfect
bower of their sitting room their din
ing room was a feast in itself and from
their kitchen came such seductive
sauces made by her own fair hands
that the husbands club dishes seemed
to be as ashes in his mouth by com
parison
Never a day that he went to his work
but she had him bring something home
with him which under her magic fin
gers became a coach from a pumpkin
as in the fairy times Cinderellas god
mother made beauty from unlovelines
It was in the gloaming now and lite
soft light of the evening lamp fell upon
the busy little body ministering to the
comfort of her hero in his dressing
gown and slippers smoking his cigar
and made her seem like a butterfly in
the reddening light of the morning
She sat down on a low stool at his
feet at last and looked into his eyes
softly tenderly tremulously He had
been away from her all day in the busy
marts of trade
Darling she whispered like the coo
ing of a bird it is so good to have you
here
And it is very good to be here he
respondeu blowing a wreath of blue
smoke out over her head
You have been away from me all
dayall day and it has seemed very
long to me she murmured Do you
think only of me when you are away
she asked in a little frightened voice
He did not reply at once
Well no Kitty he said at length
I dont
Oh Harry was all she could say
as she threw her face into her hands
upon his knees
I dont he went on mercilessly
because it keeps me so busy thinking
of the things you ask me not to forget
to bring home that I really dont have
time to think of anything else
Then she pulled his ears and kissed
him four times in rapid succession
How Bees Mark a Tree
Bees have a language of their own
said a western bee expert the other
day They carry different meanings
by their buzzings and they understand
each other like a top but I found out
one thing about them that I dont think
anybody else ever did bees have got
a written language and they send com
munications to each other
I found this out after years of
close observation When the bees get
too awfully numerous in a tree fill
up the hollow so that its too crowded
for comfort certain wise bees are sent
out to prospect
When a pioneer of this kind finds
a big likery looking treewith a hospitable-looking
wind crack in it he
takes plenty of time and goes over it
carefully
Sometimes he finds that while the
place looks nice and commodious on
the outside thCknotliole leads into a
shallow l eceptacle or the crack is not
deep enough to accommodate even a
bachelor bee much less a whole brood
In such a case he gets out and
writes a message to all and sundry
bees that may come along that way
This tree is no good That knothole is
a fake and the wind crack is a frost
pass it up
He writes this with his tail string
ing honey along aswe string ink If
the tree is all right he puts up a sign
to that effect The next bee scents the
honey lights and reads the first words
of the message and if the report is un
favorable flies off saying
and doesnt worry himself any further
about it
Oh yes bees are cute and if youve
got the idea that theyre slow its be
cause you are slow yourself Denver

A Rats Tail
A rats tail is a wonderful thing The
great naturalist Cuvier says that there
are more muscles in this curious ap
pendage than are to be found in that
part of the human anatomy which is
most admired for its ingenious struc
turenamely the hand To the rat in
fact its tail serves as a sort of hand
by means of which the animal is ena
bled to crawl along narrow ledges or
other difficult passages using it to bal
ance with or to gain a hold It is pre
hensile like the tails of some mon
keys By means of it the little beast
can jump up heights otherwise inac
cessible employing it as a projectile

A FABLE Or SOCIETY
Being Bather Hard on the Woman Who
Had Aspirations
A plain and sensible husband and
father who was making a modest live
lihood in the retail dry goods business
had a wife who was ambitious to shine
In society She was quite well aware
that her husbands means were not of
sufficient magnitude to permit an extra
ordinary dazzle in that glittering gal
axy of gaiety glamour and gentility
but she banked on the matrimonial alli
ance of at least one of her two beauti
ful daughters with an aged millionaire
who was ready at any moment to mar
ry any pretty girl who would accept
him
Naturally enough It was not to be
expected that any young and pretty girl
could love any old thing like he was
but then he was so rich that love might
well be asked to take a back seat
Now the husband of this ambitious
lady and the father of the two beauti
ful daughters was foolish enough to
think that love mixed with matrimony
better than money did and he was
averse to the machinations of his wife
to dispose of either of the daughters
to the millionaire at a price One day
the lady In no pleasant humor spoke
to her husband on the subject of his
opposition
I should think she said that you
would have some ambition for your
daughters You have never been able
to furnish them with the means their
beauty accomplishments and position
demand and now when I am doingmy
utmost to do a parents part by at least
one of them you must oppose my ef
forts and seek to thwart my purpose
I should think you would show some
sign of appreciation of the attention
and honor paid us by the wealthy gen
tleman whom I so highly respect
Forgive me my dear responded
the husband contritely When the
gentleman comes this evening I will
obey you and show some sign of ap
preciation
Upon this the wife was greatly mol
lified and the husband went down
town to his store returning In the
evening a little later than usual but
quite cheerful
At half past 8 oclock the wealthy
gentleman called and shortly after the
lady had gone in to meet him her hus
band followed her bearing in his hands
an artistically painted card fully a yard
square
It is the sign I promised for the gen
tleman he said handing it to his wife
and she read upon it in large letters
Please Call On Us Before Purchasing
Elsewhere
Thereupon the lady fell into a state of
madness from which she has scarcely
yet recovered and the husband is tak
ing his meals down town and sleeping
in his store

The result is that not more than twen
