Veteran of Veterans^ came angered at a female member of th« company m which he was engaged. She was a Veritable virago, and he didn't waste many words m getting at the point of what he wanted to say to her. "Look here, madame!" he shouted. "Do yon know hades is full of such as you?" Then, shamefaced at such a speech to a woman, he retreated. The lady at onoo asked the manager to demand an explana tion of Mr. Couldock. That official did not hesitate. "So she wants an apology?" the old man ■aid. "Well, get the company together and I'll explain and apologize." Ten minutes later the actress, Mr. Coul dock and the company were assembled. "Madame," the actor began m a kindly tone, "I said awhile ago that hades was full of such people as you." 1 Then he stopped for an instant. He caught a gleam of triumph m the woman's •ye. "Yes, I said that," he resumed, "but I was mistaken. It will not be full until you get there!" With that he stalked out and away from ■■ the theater. "In my time," Mr. Couldook continued, "I hare played everything among thegnas parts In classic drama. I have been Rich ard, Richelieu, Hamlet, lago, Shylock, Oth ello and all the rest save Romeo. I never played that part because I was never built for any of those sweet, lover parts. Nature. did not put me m that sort of a mold. I dldMeroutlo whenCushman played Juliet, but I never breathed a line of Romeo. In the old days, before the fifties, and even after, we used to start m on a week with 'Richelieu' and play 'Richard* on Saturday night. I recall a performance of the Duke of Gloster m Columbus, 0., one night, m 1857. The country was m the midst of a panic, and that night m Columbus the peo ple were walking the streets at the hour for the curtain to go up. I could see only six people m the house. I had begun to put on my clothes for Richard, but when' I saw that house I got out of them, and throwing ; the whole makeup on the floor I trampled ' upon it viciously. The stage manager cam* ! m, and I announced my intention of going : home. The fellow vanished. Pretty soon J he came back with John Ellsler's partner, \ Vincent. "Look here," said he, "you'll have to go through with Richard." "You don't suppose," I returned, "that I will play before half a dozen people?" "Yes, I do," said Vincent, and then he went on and explained to me something about contract and honor and disappoint ment until It was not long before J was down on the floor gathering up my Rich ard suit. In half an hour I went on, shout ing: "Now ia the winter of our discontent—— "Ten or a dozen people saw me through, and when I offered to barter my kingdom for a horse the roar they set up made me think that the populace of the town was m front. I was afterward told that the elder Booth never did a better Richard than I presented that night, but I believe that he must have been giving me what you boys m these days call a 'jolly.' I never liked Richard. Whenever it happened that I could skip it, I always did. "Of course I made a great success m 'Ha eel Kirke.' That is what might be called 'the hit of my life.' I have played the part of Duustau Kirke hundreds—yes, thou sands—of times, until now it is a part of ' **l>o I thlnk-tfe«--pr<o>fo«Mtonia=intt»iovinif morally and artistically f Well, it is diffi cult to answer such a question m anything less than a lecture on the subject. Of course the men and women are better kept, better fed and altogether a cleaner, more respect able looking lot than they used to be, but I really have my doubts as to whether the artistic value of their work is improving further, of course, than it is improved by ' the help that is lent to it by modern stage appliances." ' Mr. Couldock's only near relatives m this country live at Mount Vemon, N. Y. His special pet is his little granddaughter. When the veteran speaks of her, his eyes light up with love, and he invariably sighs. "She's a wonderful youngster," he said. "She's worth 20 other people to me. I look forward to the time when I can go home to her. My son and she are the only ones X have left. I had a daughter once. She was a lovely girl and an actress with the fire of genius m her soul, but she passed away from me 21 years ago." Couldock is the friend of all the "old timers," as he ia also of the younger gene "l HAD A DAUGHTER ONCE.?' ration of actors. He is known and admired by such ornaments of the stage as Joseph Jefferson, John A. Ellsler and many oth ers. If one may venture to predict, judg ing by his physical vigor, Couldock, the sterling player and genial man, will con tinue to be one of the bright lights of the American theatrical firmament for many years to come. A New Ice Sleigh. One of the winter novelties thus far an nounced is the sulky sleigh. It weighs 80 pounds, just about the weight of a bicycle. It is made of steel and hickory. The braces are all of forged steel, tempered by hand; the arches are of the best western hickory, bent by hand. The spans or arches that support the driver are divided and lined with hand tempered steel the entire length from center of top to runners. The forging Is so made that the ateel is tapered grad ually from a very thin piece to three-quar ters of an inch m the center of the truss. This secures all possible lightness, at the same time making the sleigh able to bear the necessary weight. The shafts are sim ilar to those of an ordinary track sulky. The seat is the same and is so attached as to do away with a large part of the horse motion, yet allow the runners to bear easily en the snow. The point of attachment is half way between the runner and the seat, and the draft is very similar to a trotting sleigh. The riding qualities are about the same as m the ordinary track sulky, and the track motion is about the same. The horse is hooked back as close to the driver as m the new style pneumatic sulky, and the seat Is as high from th« ground, so thattse. •rivet •** ••» **>—d- The child thst healthy and robus*, Grows up a strong and hardy man, The child that's always pnuy, must Become consumptive, pale, and wan; The infant fretful with a cough, May many future ilia endure, Unless bhs mother knowa enough, And buy* aomt WoodY Peppermiot Core
