The Bornstomers. When a tour of Utah and Southern Idaho was suggested by the management of c. he Stoop to Conquer," it looked big; too big an undertaking for an amateur organization like the one just mentioned. The proposition was knock 'd by the knockers and kicked by th kicker, but while the knocking and kickin o ' wa going on, funds were bing raised and the allvance men were already in the fi 1(1. It wa big. The play itself, while it contain good whole orne humor in abundance, does not contain the .el ment that would endear it to a p pular audience. It production. in L gan, in the first place, was intend d to be chiefly educational. Th manaO'ement could easily have cho en 'omething which \. oul~l n t r quire one-tenth th preparation " he ~ toop to Con Iller" r qui red. and \ hich 'w ould hay takn b tt r w ith the ordinary audinc. They kn w the intro-duction of thi rt n pistol and eigh t bucket of blood would hay helped in a gr at man) places to hold popnlar attention , but thev V\ ere not in th bu in fo r that 'ort of thing. The attitud of th cIa of people we ordinarily found, on thi ' propo ition, is about summed up in th conv ration b tween one of our ad-

vance men and a young- hop fu!. " Any hootin' in yo ur play?" 'No." "Any tabbin'?" , o. " "Show ain't worth a damn." And we found thi spln t manife t in the p anut o'alleri all along the line. De pit all the difficulties the thing ha been pu hed throngh , ucc sfully, and too much credit can not be given Profe or -pham and fi s lVloench for their tireles effort in making the thing a sucss' for it wa a uccess, a howling . ucc It was a uccc from a financial tandpoint, from an ducati nal standpoin t, and marks, we hope, an ra in 1:.;tah college.

Because of my not being u ed to that 1 ind of , nig-ht work, I found it very l1ard to keep av.rake . and several times caught myself doz~ng. t la t, about two o'clock in the mornin g, I could hear the bell at a di tance; and, before I had tim to mount and make ready to meet th m, a 路 hundred and fifty horses ru sh d down the canyon. It seemed that the b 11 horses, which ,路ver y t nearly a mile away, were remaining in 路 th rear 0 that the greater p'art of the band would go past unnoticed.

On returning to my post, the same quietnes prevailed; and, thinking- that th e hor es '\ ere not likel v to return that night.

He took the long braces from the sides of the boat, la hE'd them to the oar ~ , forming a rectano-ular frame , and then proceeded to tear larg trips of birch bark from th e inside of the canoe. These he fastened to the frame making an ice raft, about four feet wid e and six feet long, that would spread our weight over a larger area of the thin ice. He said it wa not safe for both of us to get on at the same time, but suggested that I go first. When I asked how I would get across and how he would get the raft back. he said that was all planned. 'He placed me on my tomach on the raft, gave me one end of a large roll of strong cord that we had been using to tie up hide \;t,'itb , and told me to use my
