. mums HAUCK’S DEBUT.
The I'limn Donna Recalls Her FirstNIen-
ture on the Stage. '
Minnie Hauckpthe famous primar
donna, has written the following in-
teresting account of her first appear-
ance on' the stage. She is now living
a retired life in Germany, for her days
of vocal triumph are over, and she
looks back with special pride to the
first faltering steps in her long and
successful career. She writes:
“I was just about six years old when
I made my first appearance on the
stage. This was in Kansas City,
where I was then living with my
mother in one of the peculiar hotels
of that time. To-day Kansas City is
a town of 200,000 inhabitants. In
those days it was a village, with many
cf the characteristics of a. backwoods
town. In the hotel at which we were
stopping, all the theatrical companies
Were wont to come and it was an oc-
casion of intense pleasure for me to
sit at the long dining table and listen
to the conversation of the actor folk
of that time. -
“So when I was about six years old
there came to Kansas City a company
of actors who had arranged to give a
performance of a. popular play called
"The Golden Farmer." In this play
there was a part for a child of six. It
was rather long and‘ full of sentiment.
It so happened that while we were sit-
ting at the table the director turned
to my mother and told her that the
play would probably not be produced
that night as the little girl cast for the
child’s part had been taken ill. I
can't tell what prompted me to speak
but I begged the director to let me act
asasubstitute. He told me it was im-
possible as it had taken weeks to train
the other child and he felt certain that
I could not learn the words in the few
hours left before the curtain went up.
I begged so plteously that he finally
consented to let me make a trial of it.
“For two hours I went through the
part in the hotel parlor and when the
curtain finally went up on the play
and the one came for me to go on, all
nervousness left me and I acted -tho
part with the feeling of an adept.
"I was called before the curtain four
times and made a tremendous hit. The
director beggedmy mother to let me
travel with the company. but she re-
fused, and that night I remember when
I went to bed I put my arms around
her neck and whispered ‘I will go on
the stage, mother, and become a great
actress.’ Since then I have appeared
many times before the public in all
the great capitals of the World, but I
can never forget the happiness that
followed upon the heels of that first
triumph.” _
Don’t Wear Night Dresses.
A New Yorker Who visited Canada
some time ago made a trip through one
of the North-Western Territories and
spent a time as the guest of a rancher.
“I fixed him up as well as I com,"
the rancher relates, "but he complain-
ed that he did not like sleeping with
his clothes on. So'after the first night
I stretched a. cowskin across the shack,
and told him he might undress ~il.’ he
liked. He took off m0st of his gar-
ments and put on a long white night-
dress. In the morning my foreman
came in while the gentleman was still
sleeping. Observing the white night- -
dress, he said, in a whisper:
“ ‘Rather sudden—chi”.
" ‘What?’ _I asked. _
“‘The deatbof the old man.’
' “‘He’s not dead—he’s asleep,’ I ex-
plained.
" ‘Then what’s he wearin' them
b’lled clothes for? was the reply,
‘Never saw a chap laid out in b’lled

JEWELS 0F THE'GOVERNMENT.
Precious Stones in Store in the Treasury
_ Vaults at Washington.
At Washington, in the bond vault of
the treasury, is a great store of dia-
monds and other precious stones that
belong to nobody. Most of them have
been in the custody of the oflicials for
about sixty years, but some of the
gems have been there much longer, and
their history rests mainly on hazy tra-
dition.
There is a bottle four or five inches
long filled with diamonds, there are
various other loose stones, and there
are many set in gold ornaments. The
value of the whole lot is variously
estimated, the computations ranging
from $50,000 to $100,000.
Most of these gems were sent as a
present to President Van Buren by the
Imaum of Muscat in 1839. This Asian
potentate conceived the idea that he
had received some service from this
country. and this was his way of ac—
knowledgin’g his obligation. President
Van Buren could not accept them, for
there is a clause in the constitution
forbidding any person connected with
the government from accepting any
present or decoration from any foreign
power or ruler. -
But the Oriental’s present could not
be returned; he would look upon that
as an insult. So at last the jewels
were turned over to the treasury to
keep till something was done about
them, and nothing has ever been done.
In similar ways has the entire col-
lection accumulated; Kings and Princ-
es are frequently not as familiar with
the constitution of the United States
as they should be, and government ofli-
cers of various grades have sent here
gifts they have received, and found it
inconvenient to return and impossible
to keep. _
, In the bond vault they must remain
till Congress “takes action" on their
situation.
. An Irishman went’ to a Scotch 'c-on-
tractor several times and asked him
for a job. The Scotchman, tired of the
man’s perseverance, told him to go to
the devil and see if he could get a job
there. »
, “Ah! s-hure, be mi sowl, I’ve been to
him," said the Irishman, “and he’s
taking nobody on but Scotsman." '
