To the Echo:
Health of community is very
good at present.
A Fair Compromise.
A partner in one of the theatrical
producing firms of the city of New
York had occasion to hire an actor to
play a small part in a drama he was
putting out. A rather well known ac-
tor. who values himself and his art
with a proper appreciation, applied for
the place.
“You play a full blood Sioux Indian,”
explained the manager. “The salary is

“My dear boy," said the actor in a
pained tone. “I’ve never worked for
less than $100. A hundred dollars is
my regular price."
“Fifty dollars!" said the manager
calmly, /‘Take it or leave it." The actor
thought it over a minute.
"I'll take it," he said, “but I can’t
play a full blood Indian for $50. I’ll
play him as a half breed.’"—Saturday

who busied himself in an effort
to catch the “burglar.” He leek:
ed under the bed, in the closet
and ran down the hall and back
again. When he returned Mrs.
McDonnell looked at him closely.
“Why, you are the man who
was in my room," she exclaimed,
pointing an accusing finger at
Reif. Then she called the officers.
Reif was arrested and a charge
of felony theft was filed against
him. Mrs. McDonnell claims
she lost two purses, containing
$48 in cash and a diamond i .
valued at $75. The property
was not recovered.—Houston
Glas* Cutting.
The lyman who is introuced to the
mysteries of cutting glass for the first
time is amazd at the amount of work
that the workman does entirely by his
eye. The first stage of the bowl which
is to be cut finds it in a perfectly plain
condition, not a scratch upon it and
only a half dozen or more marks in red
chalk, which mean absolutely nothing
to the unpracticed eye. But to the
workman they mean the whole pat-
tern. Perhaps the dish is a salad bowl.
The marks in chalk will run from the
edge, five intervals apart, down to the
center of the bowl at the bottom. In
one of the divisions of the bowl thus
marked there may be a little further
marking in the shape perhaps of a dia-
mond. This indicates the pattern into
which the bowl is to be cut, and it will
be repeated in each of the five divi-
sions. All the intricacies of the design
the workman has in his head, and they
develop on the glass in a way which
seems to the looker on absolutely mar-
velous.—New York Times.

Too Difficult a Job.
An Irishman who was too old for
active work was offered the position
of crossing tender at a small railroad
station. He looked dubious as the
duties of the office were explained to
him and the meaning of the various
flags was clearly stated.
“In case of danger with a train com-

with pathetic gesture wailed: "Save

The official thought he had an in-
sane person before him, but picked up
the paper, which looked like a letter.
It began in letters larger than the
body of the document: “You must die!
Nothing will save you! You must die!"
"He has always been a good man.

back, said: "Go home to your family-

The woman then told the magistrate
she could not read, that a neighbor

were being killed, and she was ho

In 1644 the possibilities of the sub
marine were first propounded, while
from the very earliest times men have
conceived the idea of flying with wings
like birds. There is no reason what-
ever to doubt the fact that Archytas
of Tarentum, about 394 years before
the Christian era, constructed an au-
tomaton pigeon that would fly. Turn-
ing to other latter day invent ions, as
they are generally regarded, it might
be mentioned that switchback railways
were constructed more than a hundred
years ago, and looping the loop was a
sensation in Paris in 1833, while roller
skating, which came up as a new in-
vention about forty years ago, was
being indulged in by our forefathers
is far back as 1829.

When Mrs. W. P McDonnell,
who resides at 1403 Washington
avenue, was aroused from her
slumbers early Monday morn-
ing she saw a man walking about
in her room. Although badly
frightened, she arose in bed and
demanded, sternlike.
“What do you want in here,
you thief?”
The man leaped quickly
through the door and Mrs. Me.

The Yolk of an Egg.
After the fast of Lent medieval cus-
tom insisted that an egg should be
eaten on Raster day. According to the
London Lancet, this rule was based on
sound medical principles, for the only
substance in the yolk is lecithin, and
lecithin is a favorite drug with doctors
who have patients suffering from nerv-
ous disorders. The quantity of the
drug administered at a time corre-
sponds almost exactly with the quan-
tity found in a normal new laid egg.

^-i late Thursday even-
ceived Saturday afternoon when
a tub of burning gasoline was
thrown on him as he was pass
ing the tailoring shop of Harri
son Taylor, colored, on Rusk
street, it seems that some one
in the shop was washing clothes
in a tub filled with gasoline when
the liquid caught fire and instant
ly flashed up. The tub was
kicked out into the street imme-
diately and the contents struck
Wright, who was passing the
shop. The burning fluid envoi
oped him in sheet of fire and he
made a dash for a resturant, try
ling in the meantime to protect
his head and eyes from the Hames
with his hands and arms. He
fell, however, before he reached
the restaurant and his cries for
help brought a large crowd who
used every possible means to ex
tinguish the flames. After des-
perate efforts the flames were ex
tinguished, but not until Wright’s
body was frightfully burned
Practically ali of the skin from
his waist up was burned off.
He was given medical attention
at once, but his injuries were
such that no hope was entertain
ed for his recovery. Wright
was about 22 years old.—Pitts-
burg Gazette.

in a telegram from a friend of
ofTrinkle’s toR C. Trinkle and
contained no particulars. Later
telegrams stated that he was be
ing taken to the North Louisiana
Sanatarium at Shreveport. A
phone massage was sent to Clyde
Trinkle at Mervaul and he at
once started for Shreveport by
auto. R. C. Trinkle and his
mother, Mrs. Lee Trinkle, left
for Shreveport by the 11:12
train on the Texas Pacific to be
with the injured man. A tele
gram received after midnight
Friday morning from the Sana
tarium management states that
young Trinkle had an extensive
wound in the back but an opera
tion had been performed and it
was thought he had a chance to
live. Nothing has yet teen
learned here as to how the wound
was received. Arthur had been
for some time in the employ of
