By the way, speaking of fires, the

mass of scenery and prortiea which
must be always at hand.
Even in these day, when many com
bination travel with carload of special
scenery, the theater must hare a fair
stock of its own. Drawing room scenes,
wood scenes, cottages, kitchens aud even
barns must be in stock. These can las
changed iudeliintvly by a few small set
piece to be used iu front, thus affording
a variety to those traveling coiupanie
wbo are willing to use the scenery be

Seven performances, each one with dif

In one respect the old sail was right
enough. South street can show an
abundance of queer relics uf wrecks and
relic of brave men wbo have gone down
to the sea in ships within the last thirty
years or more. There are a number of
shops that keep all sort of queer thing
on hand. They pick these things np in
variety of way, and there la a consid
erable sale for them.
There are figurehead, for instance.
On the olden time every ship of any pre-
tenalon bad a figurehead. Owner of
vessel vied in their effort to cift flu
designs, and the enterprising gentlemen
who modeled the representations of fair
maidii, sea nymph, of trim miiUhiptnen
or of admirals in unifnri) did a right
pretty busiuess. A simpltsort of scroll
work has taken tlie place c(j the dashing
figure of the past
Of course there are exceptions. Tha

has an excellently modeled representa

Clain's death is one of the most patbt-tlo
stories in the history of railroad acci

story. Hut let Engineer Adamsun, who

And something waa wrong.
While tlie faithful mother, with her
lamp of love a-flume, was straining her
eye through the darkness uf tb night t
catch a gleam of the flashing headlight
that announced "all' well" with her on,
that sun was stark in death.
Tlie eyes that had wstched for th
light in the window that told of th
safely of mother and kindred were glased
by death. No more wonld they strain
through the dusk of the valley for th
red rty which conveyed to him a mes
sage of love from home.

The loving mother, what of her?
Through the dark watchea she waited
at tlie window, in her hand the lieacoa
that assured Kichard of the well being
of the jewels of hi heart
But the rush and roar of th engine,
and the flashing of the headlight through
tbe swart reaches of th valley never
came,
Tlie minute ticked slowly by.
"Richard U late to-night." thought
the loving woman, "but I'll wait a whit
longer. It U almost like a visit from

So she waited till her eye grew heavy
with sleep.
And Richard was dead by Ihe track!
Finally she aaid: -
"I'll leave the lamp in the window
and lie down a while. I ran bear th
roar of the engiusin time to wave th
