DIMPLE WORTH $5000.
Burlesque Actress Sues for Loss of Hole
in Cheek.
New York How much is a
dimple worth?
Five thousand dollars says Miss
Mildred'Stoller.
Miss Stoller who is an actress
has sued the New York City Rail
way Co. for $5000 damages done
to a dimple.
The actress alleges that on Aug
19 she was struck on the left cheek
by a conductor of a 23d street
crosstown car whose blow defaced
her dimple and injured her beauty.
My dimple was of stage value. ' '
Miss Stoller told her lawver ' 'and
the injury caused me much pain
and mental-suffering. I consider
the amount of damages due me
$5000."
Miss Stoller says that she and
two other actresses Miss Julia
Weber and Miss Eessie Green
asked the conductor Joseph
Hartell to let them off in front of
Proctor's theater but that he told
her "to keep on riding" and
refused to stop the car. Upon
Miss Stoller 's second demand she
says the conductor struck her.
The conductor was fined $10 in
Jefferson Market court the next
day.
Miss Stoller in private life is
Mrs Warren B. Irons wife of a
theatrical manager. She is well
known on the burlesque stage-
She says that the temporary loss
of her dimple brought her a repri-
mand from her theatrical employer
Col. James Curtin.

regret.
Something of Newspaper WorK.
Many persons seem to think that
editing a publication makes life one
glad sweet song. Ring off! If
we publish jokes people say we are
rattle-braind. If we don't we are
fossils. If we publish ongnal mat-
ter they say we don't give them
enought selections. If we give
them selections they say we are
too lazy io write. If we don't go
to church we are heathens- If we
do we are hypocrites. If we re-
main in the office we ought to be
out looking for news items. If we
go out then we are not attending
to business. If we wear old clothes
they laugh at us. If we wear good
clothes they say we have a pull.
Now what are we to do? Just as
likely as not somepne will say that
we stole this from an exchange.
So we did. It's from the Wyom-
ing Derrick.- Gonzales Globe.
"In a certain church in Colorado
Springs" said an Oregon clergy-
man "there used to be a quter old
crusty character a Scof who was
noted for his profound knowledge
of the Scripture.!. I lectured at that
church one evening and after the
lecture the Scot and I and some
few others fell into conversation.
'"I 'was urged to put the old
ma- 's Scriptural knowledge to
tho test. I was urged to question
hi ai and to let him question me.
lie would get the better of me
that every one said was certain
but I had my doubts and turn
ing to the Scot said confidently:
"I will try you my friend with
the grand leading insurmountable
question How long did Adam re-
main in a state of innocence?'
' 'The Scot answered:
. "t'Till he got a wife.'
''Then with a grim chuckle he
went on:
"But can you tell me sir how
along he remained after?' "
FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Jack Jack Show a Light! Is a Jolly
Evening Game.
This game can only be played in
the dusk of evening vrhen all the
surrounding objects are lost in the
deepening gloom. The players di-
vide into two parties and toss up for
innings which being gained the
winners start off to hide themselves
or get so far away that the others
cannot see them the losers remain-
ing at home.
One of the hiding party is provid-
ed with a flint and steel which as
Boon as they are all ready he strikes
together. The sparks emitted guide
the seekers as to the direction they
must proceed in and they must en-
deavor to capture the others ere
they reach home. If they cannot
touch more than two of the boys
the hiders resume their innings and
the game continues as before. It is
most usual however for the boys at
home to call out "Jack Jack
show a light!" before the possessor
of the flint and steel does so. When
one party is captured the flint and
steel must be given up to the cap-
tors that they may carry on the
game as before.
