    JEFFERSON HUMBLED
ONL TIME THE GREAT ACTOR WA3
GREETED WITH HISSES.
It Orcnrred In St. Lonti When the
ornhil Comeilinn, Then a Mm Boy,
Thninich Stae Frlitht. Tnmed a
Tableau Into a Dlamnl IKIascf).
Tlie onf time Joe Jefferson wns ever
hissed from tlie stage occurred In St.
Louis, where In Inter years ho was to
become one of the most pronounced fa
vorites of all the actors who visited the
city.
Jefferson's curly life was of the most
varied description, though never ex
tending beyond the limits of tlie sock
and buskin save when for awhile he
essayed to run a cafe In a Texas town,
but, despite Its kaleidoscopic quality. It
was never one in which the emlmrrnss
mont of dismal artistic failure entereil
except on this occasion. Tito genial old
actor, the dean of the American Btnsie
at the time of his death, rtl misses It In
11 kindly but brief manner in his "Ati
tol'iography," yet It Is appt rout that he
was stuns to the quick b. the fiasco,
for he did not appear 1 i St. Louis
npiin for thirty-two yean and then
i nly when his position he 1 soared to
assured and brilliant ste 'nr heights.
Speaking of this rcappcart .ice In lSTt!,
lie merely says that it was his "first in
St. Louis since the memo tble season
when as a youth 1 hud ieen hissed
from the stage." ,
It was In 1S44 that the trouble oc-
curred, when Jefferson v us but fif- i
teen years old. The oeen-lon was his
first trip to the west and south. He
had Joined the company, of wfilch his I
mother was a member, the season be-
fore, when It was starting for the west,
had played in Chicago, theu only an
insignificant village, worked down
through Illinois to Louisiana and Mis
sissippi, and on the return north bo
gun a summer engagement In St.
Louis under the management of Lud
low & Smith, then one of the most
prominent theatrical firms in the coun
try. The stars of Ills company, an ex
ceptionally good one for lis time, in
cluded players whose names are well
remembered even unto today, and
among them were such uotubles in
the stage world as Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Kcnn, Anna Cora Mowatt and
James K. Haekett.
The season Fpcut in travel had been
uneventful, nnd that in St. Louis was
no departure from this even tenor ex-,
cept for the unfortunate fiasco which
befell J-ouug Jefferson. Everything
went well until the night of the Fourth
oTJtily, and on this occasion tlie man
agement decided to make the perform
ance fitting to tlie day by introducing
at the close of the regular bill a pa
triotic tableaux, In which Jefferson
was deputed to act ns soloist and sing
the "Star Spangled Bannor." When
the assignment was given him he was
plunged into an ecstasy of delight.
Hitherto he had been playing all man
ner of small parts, handling properties
and doing such other tilings of general
utility as the managers saw fit to sad
dle upon him, and now for tlie first
time In bis career ho wns to stand In
the center of the stage, the attention
of the audience concentrated upon his
youthful form, and render the star
number of the bill.
The patriotic tableau had been heavi
ly billed, and the house was crowded
for the Independence day performance.
Jefferson was in a frenzy of excite
ment, and as he peeped through the
curtain at the groat audience he felt
that his reputation was made. For
days he had rehearsed the national an
them, sung it "backward and for
ward," as he subsequently declared,
until he was certain of the effect he
would produce, coupled especially with
the enthusiasm that would naturally
be In the air on such an oc. asion. This
night his fame was in the making; on
the morrow It would leap .'rom tongue
to tongue around the town So he felt
and proudly strutted the i tago In the
ardor and assuredness of his youth,
waiting impatiently for tiio moment
to come when he, and he alone, would
be the center of Interest,' thestar of
the principal event on the hill.
At last tlie dramatic offering of the
evening reached its final curtain, and
the preparations for the patriotic num
ber began. They were simple enough
a wood sotting, the company grouped
in conventional attire on the stage.
Those who had swallowtail coats
wore them," said Jefferson later In
life, "nnd those who were not blessed
1th that graceful garment did the
best they could." In the center of the
conventional half circle stood the
"Goddess of Liberty" on a small dais,
one of the female members of the
troupe In ordinary evening dress, with
a pasteboard Roman helmet on her
bead and her figure draped with a
United States ensign.
Jefferson stood by the' side of this
Imposing woman, and as the curtain
arose a great roar of applause went
up from the crowd of patriots assem
bled In pit, balcony, gallery and boxes,
and at that wave of sound the boy's
heart leaped to his throat, his brain
iwamt and his, tongue seemed sudden
ly transformed into a huge, thick piece
of solid mucilage. He had stage fright
in Its worst form, but as the orchestra
struck up the first notes of the anthem
he managed to bring back a measure
of his self control and advanced bold
ly to the footlights. In a trembling
yolce out came the words, "Oh, say can
you see" and his mind was a blank.
Ked flames seemed to start In torrents
across his vision, his brain ached, and
his body trembled, but he could re
member no more.
Grasping the situation, the orchestra
leader stopped the musicians and be
gun the anthem over again, but it was
rf no avail. Once more Jefferson es
sayed to slug, but no additional words
vo'uld I' recall, and as he stood there
shaWng In every limb, bu lled in per
spiration, ben IMcred ai i gasping,
there cumo to his ears the sound that
had never greeted him before nor ever
was to greet him again a hiss, loud,
sibilant, shrill and penetrating. Some
of the audience began to laugh, others
took up the chorus of the hiss. "1 love
my country," said Jefferson In speak
ing about his feelings at that moment,
"hut at that hour I cursed our national
anthem from the bqttom of my heart."
The Goddess of Liberty turned to
ward him slightly, and he heard her
gentle voice murmur, 'Toor fellow!"
It sounded like the noise of n cannon
In his ears and added to his confusion.
The hissing Increased, and sarenstic
epithets were hurled above the bedlam.
The orchestra played over and over
again the Introduction of the anthem,
old Muller, the leader, calling out, "Go
on, go on." Hut It was no use. The
hissing had done its work, and, with
presence of mind enough to bow, Jef
ferson retreated hastily to the wings,
where ho threw himself Into the arms
of his mother, and together they sob
bed out their misery over .he incident
and tlie failure.
It was weeks before Jeff -rson recov
ered from the blow tlie Jei -lug hud In
flicted upon him und ycui t before he
could think of St. Louh without' a
shudder, yet, though coiuii inning hiss
ing for so slight an ou'et , never a
word did he utter at any time in his
life against the city or lis citizens that
hud used him so unkindly. The warmth
of the reception tendered him on his
reappearance In St. Louis, thirty-two
years later, more than compensated
him for that early fiasco, as ho per
sonally declared at the 'time, and sub
sequently he came to love the city that
had given him such a cold douche and
set down In Its records his only mark
ed failure of any kind. St. Louis

THEY WOULDN'T GROW.
A Sharp Swindler Once Sold Vncle
Sum Boiled Seeds.
Several years ago Uncle Snm was
"snagged" by as sharp a swindler as
ever swindled and who afterward
managed in some clever manner to
keep without the precincts of the peni
tentiary. The sharper in this particu
lar case worked his wiles on the au
thorities of tlie department of agricul
ture, It Is stated, and put the free gar
den seed division of that department
In bad odor with numerous agricultur
ists for many moons thereafter.
He was a grafter from Graftsburg,
this fellow was, and his particular
graft was boiled tomato seed. He con
ceived the brilliant idea of furnishing
the department of agriculture with
large quantities of these seeds from
the vegetable canneries of Maryland,
Delaware and New Jersey, representing
them to be the fresh product of the to
mato vine and excellent for propagat
ing purposes.
The fact that the tomato seeds had
passed through ' boiling water In the
process of canning and were therefore
practically cooked and rendered un
productive did not bear a feather's
weight on the fellow's conscience, for
was not Vncle Sain regarded as com
mon prey for all manner of grafters?
He was backed by influence, and the
government bought liberal quantities
of his boiled seeds.
When these were sent out in little
maulla envelopes broadcast by mem
bers of congress nnd others to farm
ers nnd even hack yard gardeners lu
all parts of the land labeled "Early
Duchess Tomato Seeds," with full di
rections for planting, the government
agents acted In perfect good faith. But
at the expiration of the proper period
and tomato vines failing to rear their
heads from the soil where the cooked
seed had boon planted there arose a
howl long, loud and bitter. The toma
to crop is said to have boon short that
season, and so many protests were
hurled at the department of agricul
ture by the injured ones tin t it became
necessary, old employees si y, to estab
lish a new division temporarily in the
department known as "the division of
protests and tomato seed inquiry," and
for a time it was the busiest branch in
the building of agriculture. Washing

When Brodle Bluffed Mitchell.
Once, when In England, Steve
Brodie, the famous bridge jumper,
was In a party which Included Charlie
Mitchell, the prize fighter. Mitchell
made somei remarks derogatory to
John L. Sullivan, to which Brodle re
joined with some sarcastic observa
tions on the sprinting ability Mitchell
displayed while in the ring with Sulli
van. This jingored the prize ngnter,
who knocked' Brodie flat. As he scram
bled to his feet, Mitchell made another
rush at him, but by then Brodle had a
pistol in his hand, and thrusting It un
der Ills assailant's nose, remarked:
'.'You tlnk you're goln' to make a repu
tation off lickin' Steve Brodle, don't
yer? Well, you Just hit me once and
there'll be a lot in the papers about it,
but you won't read it" That closed
the incident.
What Fatlitoe Really In.
Tiredness is as natural a condition of
life as is the ability to perform work,
writes Andrew Wilson In the Illustrat
ed Loudon News. It is nature's signal
that rest and repose are necessary in
order to recuperate the vital powers.
Think for a moment of the supply of
nourishment (which means the giving
of energy, or "the power of doing
work") to any part. The healthy frame
receives its due quota of food materi
als and out of them builds up Its sub
stance and obtains Its working power.
But the supply of 'energy is not con
Btant; hence after a certuiu exhaustion
f the store It originally possessed the
aumun engine demands more coal and
water. Fatigue is the sign manual
which authorizes the fresh supply.
LET HIM BE NAMELESS.
A Method of Punishment ail Old ai
Mankind Ilaelf.
When men wish to punish one of
their fellows In a peculiar way, when
they desire particularly' to show their
deep disapproval of some wrong he has
committed, they do not cast him Into
prison; they do not even take his life;
they blot out his name. All other pun
ishments which men have devised from
the days of darkest barbarism to the
present sink Into comparative lnslgnlt
lcance beside the subtle, searching,
complete penalty of the simple dictum,
"Let him be nameless."
' In tlie chapel at West Point there is
a tablet in which names 'of the coun
try's Revolutionary heroes are graved
In gold. And there Is one name all
but scored out with a sinister bar of
black, just enough of the letters show
ing to enable one to trace the name,
"Benedict Arnold." This was the na
tion's way of erasing the name of a
traitor.
In the regular army the officer who
steals Is ostracised abso'utely. Not
only Is 4ie forbidden to have any com
merce with other officers, but they are
forbidden to associate with him or to
recogiiire him In any way. In his na
tive place he Is published as one not
fit to associate with gentl Miien. Tills
Is the army's way of punishment for
those who have failed to measure
themselves closely to the standard of
nn officer mid a gentlemen.
Blotting out the name of an offender
Is not n new method of punishment. It
Is as old as mankind Itself. When Job
wished to show Ills abhorrence of a
wicked man he said, "His remem
brance shall perish from the earth, and
he shall have no name In the street."
David also said of tlie transgressors
against divine and human laws, "Let
them be blotted out of the book of the
living." The eternal fire and brim
stone of the earlier nnd some of tlie
later stern religionists still leaves ex
istence for tlie culprit. But man
comes as near to decreeing annihilation
as he can when he would have the re
membrance of a fellow being perish
from tlie earth and would have him
walk the streets nameless and un
known and unrecognized.
To the sensitive mau, the man who
has reared a structure based on char
acter and embracing culture and so
cial standing, there must he a poign
ancy about this sort of punishment
th.it searches the very depths of
the soul. To such a man the quietude,
the Isolation, of a prison cell Is little
more than escape from the accusing
eyes of his fellows. No law's penalty
can add to his mental suffering. He Is
in a worse plight than Cain, for Cain
bore a distinguishing brand. Cain still
had a name.
Hale wrote about the man without a
country. But what pen Is capable of
describing the feelings, the sufferings,
of a man without n name? He has
been blotted out of the hook of the liv
ing, yet ho lives. lie appears In the
streets, but without a name. Ills re
membrance has perished from his
earth, yet ho remembers, and In this
remembering while all others have for
gotten lies the chief stlug, the deepest
thrust of the way men punish when
they say "Let him. be nameless." To
be forgotten of men while one still
treads the earth; to meet In the eyes
of former friends nnd acquaintances no
glimpse of recognition; to be a cipher
where once one was a figure of couse
quefice can human ingenuity devise
greater punishment than this? Chica

The Hour Before Breakfast.
Romance Is coy In the morning;
courtship thinks It requires moonlight,
but the hour before breakfast Is the
best in the day, and It is the hour that
lovers should sett!3 the all important
step in life. We do not half appreciate
the morning, when the faculties have
come from their rest with new lights
and garnered energies.
Suppose Newton hud been sitting un
der that apple tree after dark, how
could he have known what hit him? A
happy marriage is quite the biggest
thing any man can achieve for him
self. Millions are poverty without it.
Does it not follow that the wise young
man of this generation ought to apply
the best rules of human experience to
the greatest moment of his life? The
hour before breakfast ought to be his
time. If she looks well then she will
look lovely all the other hours of the
dny. It Is not only an opportunity for
the man; It is a test of the girl. Moon
light has its uses, moonlight has its
bounty, but the flowers bloom unseen.
It is the hour before breakfust that nil
nature is brightest, and it is the hour
before breakfast that love should be up
and doing.
Mlatukea In Encyclopedia.
A man who has done a great deal of
Ivork in correcting some large dictiona
ries, encyclopedias and historical ref
erence works, who bus studied ten lan
guages and who is well posted on a
number of foreign luuds, examined
over 15,000 pages of an encyclopedia
published lu this country. Much of the
work be did without the publisher's
knowledge. Though this encyclopedia
was considered to have been edited
very carefully, he discovered over 1,000
mistakes in the first volume alone. In
the following Volumes he found many
thousands.
In speaking of one of the most fa
lous violin virtuosos who ever Jived it
was stated that in his youth he fell out
with his parents and ran away to Cas

died. In giving a sketch of a living
European author the statement was
made that he wrote and p.ibfisbed bis
first book nine years before he was
born. In calling an editor's attention
to this error the editor replied: "Verily,

THE POWER TO PLEASE.
A Potent Factor For Sncccsa In Anr
Career Yon Mar Adopt.
The power to please Is a tremendous
asset. What can be more valuable
thtin'a personality which always at
tracts, never repels? It Is not only
valuable In business, but also lu every
field of life. It mukes statesmen and
politicians; It brings clients to the law
yer and patients to the physician; It Is
worth everything to the clergyman. No
mutter what career you enter, you can
not overestimate the Importance of cul
tivating; that charm of manner, those
personal qualities, which attract people
to yon. They will take the ploce of
capital or influence; they are often a
substitute for a large amount of hard
work.
Some men attract business, custom
ers, clients, patients, as naturally as
magnets attract particles of Steel. Ev
erything seems to point their way, for
the same reason that the steel particles
point toward the magnet because they
are attracted.
Such men nre buslnc.-s magnets.
Business moves toward them even
when they do not apparently make half
so much effort to get It as the less suc
cessful. Their friends call thcni "lucky
dogs." But If wo analyze these men
closely we find that they have attrac
tive qualities. There Is usually some
cliarni of personality about them that
wins all hearts. Success.
THE MAGICIAN'S THUMB.
It la Hill Worat Enemy In Sleight of
Hand Trli kM.
Iii every sort of magic the magician's
thumb is his worst enemy, says Nina
Carter Marbourg In Leslie's Weekly.
If he could strike off that thumb und
still have Its assistance when neces
sary he would be a happy man. In
closing the hand the thumb usually
bends toward the palm in advunee of
the lingers, lu this way it many times
Is much in the way, und practice Is
necessary to got a magician's thumb lu
perfect training. But when he has
practiced In the school of magic for
some time the thumb becomes so flexi
ble that it will bend nearly to the back
of the hand.
Cards are Invariably the beginning
of n magician's education. In handling
curd;! the thumb Is especially in the
way, and this is the reason why this
trickery with the pasteboards is se
lected for the beginner. To change one
card for another lu front of one's very
eyes and still to have made no percep
tible movement of the band Is a trick
that beginners learn to perform before
they have been In the school for any
great length of time. This, as may be
Imagined, Is a difficult piece of work to
become proficient In, and here Is just
the place where determination plays n
great part in success.
BISMARCK CONSENTED.
He Wti the Klnnl Arbiter of an Kn
llt.li Line Mntrli.
When the third son of the Duke of
Argyle bestowed 'his affections upon
an untitled woman he felt bound to
nsk the old gentleman's consent. The
duke answered that personally he had
no objections to the mutch, but In view
of the fact that his eldest boh had es
poused a daughter of the queen ho
thought It right to Inquire her majes
ty's pleasure on the subject before ex
pressing his formal approval.
Her majesty, thus appealed to, ob
served that since the death of the
prince consort she had been lu the
habit of consulting the Duke of Saxe
Coburg on all family affairs.
The matter was therefore referred to
Duke Ernest, who replied that since
the unification of Germany be had
made It a rule to ask the emperor's
opinion on all Important questions.
The case now came before the kaiser,
who decided that, as a constitutional
sovereign, ho was bound to ascertain
the views of his prime min ster.
Happily for the now anxious pair of
lovers the "Iron Chancellor," who was
then In office, had no wish to consult
anybody and uccldcd that the marriage
might take place, and It did.

DESPERATE FIGHTING.
"The Man Threw Tuemaelvea on the
Bayonets of the Enemy."
It Is a phrase merely to those of us
who do not know war at first bund,
Then the men threw themselves ou
the bayonets of tie enemy." It sounds
desperate und dramatic, but this ac
count lu Blackwood's Magazine by a
naval sublieutenant at 1'ort Arthur
shows what it really means:
For thirty long minutes a hand to
hand struggle hud continued. Men
threw grenades In each other's fuces.
Half demented samurul flung them
selves upon the bayonets of tlie dozen
Muscovites thnt held the traverse In
the trench. Who shall say thnt the day
of the bayonet Is past? Although there
wns not a breech that had not its car
tridge in the chamber, yet men roused
to the limit of their animal fury over
look the mechanical appliances that
make wur easy. They thirsted to como
to grips, and to grips they came.
But It had to end. 'the old colonel
had fought his way through his own
men to the very point of tlie struggle,
lie stood on the parapet, and his rich
voice for n second curbed the fury of
the wild creatures strugiUng beside
him. '
"Throw yourselves ou tin Ir bayonets,
honorable comrades!" he shouted.
"Thuse who come behind will do the
rest!"
His men hoard him; his olllcors heard
him. Eight stalwarts dropped their
rifles, held their hands above their
heads and flung themselves against the
traverse. Before the Russian defend
ers could extricate the bayonets from
their bodies the whole pack of the wur
dogs hud surged over them. The trench
wns won.
AIDING THE MEMORY.
Mnemonic gyatema Hnve Been In Via
From Time Immemorial.
The art of rendering artiliclul aid to
the memory by associating lu the mind
things difficult to remember with those
which arc easy of recollection is said to
have originated with the Egyptians.
The first person to reduce It to a system
was, according to Cicero, the poet Sl
mouldes, who lived 500 U. C. His plan
Is known us the topical' or locality
plan aud wns lu substance as follows:
Choose a large house with a number of
differently furnished apartments In It.
Impress) upon tlie mind cuivlully all
that Is noticeable In the h use so that
the mind can readily go over the parts.
Theu place a series of Ideas In the
bouse-the first In tlie hull, the next lu
the sitting room, and so on with the
rest. Now, when one w.shes to recall
these Ideas In their proper succession,
commence going through the house, and
the Idea placed in eiub department will
be found to readily recur to the mind
lu connection with It.
It is related that this mnemonic plan
was first suggrslcd to the poet by a
tragic occurrence. Having been called
from a banquet Just before the roof of
the house fell and crushed nil the rest
of the company, Le found on returning
that the ho lies were so imitilulod ihiit
no Individual could be ree;gu:zud, but
by remembering the places which they
had several;)' nrcupied at the table he
was able to Identify them. He wns
thus led to notice that the order of
places may by association suggest the
order of things.
Italy and Her Crlintniila.
In Italy whenever a famous crlmlunl
trial Is ou the newspapers take sides
violently, search for evidence nnd as

Thnt they nre even niore, sensational
than the Amerlcnn press In this regard
Is Indicated by the fact that Italians
rending accounts of great cases In the
Amerlcnn papers are always struck
with the moderation of tone shown and
wonder how It Is that Americans tnke
so little Interest In what concerns the
whole world. "The Amor cans nre a
