1 he thousands of beauty experts, the;

to the truth of the general observation j

But not all women.
There Is one conspicuous exception, and I
to complete the marvel of it, she is an j
actress.
Alice Hageman is her name, and it is j
one she is advancing to a point not held
by any other feminine delineator of eo-'

But it is not as an actress. Miss llago-

tirely remarkable for the fact that a
sense of art has made her willing to
sacrifice that which most women deem;

a few opinions expressed recently she
furnished a few thoughts on make-up
that many an older artist might study

“,‘vlh'ke-up ought to be so good,” she
said, "that even those on the front rows
are deceived. When I play the role of
an old woman I expect everybody who
has ever seen me before, or does not

peldoni have the willingness to deiiber- i
ately seek the parts of the aged and
repulsive, but even if they have, they;
lack the make-up experience to get the
right effects.
But at twenty. Miss Hageman has
gone so deeply into the matter of what,
produces ugliness in the human face and
form, that when a manager of a big
production has a character that com
mands skill in this line, he seeks Miss
(Hageman as a matter of course. There
is no one else who so thoroughly grasps
the grotesque.
The 'beauty quest is as old as Eve. |
Miss Hageman introduces ugliness as a j
tine art. She tortures herself to get
new means of being homely.
The desire to play eccentric roles came
to Miss Hageman almost simultaneously
with her debut in San Francisco at thff,
age of sixteen. Managers to whom she
expressed the preference laughed at her,
and advised that a girl of her beauty
ought to leave the ugly roles alone.
“Let the fat 'back numbers do that
•ort of thing,” was one form of discour
agement that came often to the aspi-1
rant for honors in eccentric comedy.

WITH GRANT AT VICKSBURG.
(S. If. M 1 . Byers in Harper's Monthly.)
I was struck twice, but slightly hurt.
Comrades near me I saw covered with
blood, their faces black with powder,
fighting on. The dead lay everywhere
unnoticed. Again I was biting cart
ridges and hurrying with that awful
ramrod. A Confederate shot his ramrod
through my hand. I was too busy, too
excited, too hot, too thirsty, to think of
it—to think of anything but loading and
firing and standing my ground.
We were winning Vicksburg right there,
making Grant president that afternoon..
Every torn face was a step toward the
city, every dead man a ballot for the
white house, yet neither white house
nor ballot nor Vicksburg was in our
thoughts. Would that awful line in front
of us ever give way? That was all. The
terrific fighting continued. 1 emptied my
musket forty times, at men in front of
me. Some took cartridges from the dead
and fired fifty, sixty times. Once we
were being flanked. A boy ran up to me
crying: 'My regiment has run. What
will I do?’ 'Load and fire.' He did, until
both his legs were shot off by a cannon
ball. That was war! I was getting
adventure, too—lots of it’
Before sundown the battle was over.
Leaving our dead unburied, our wounded
in the woods, we hurried on. We had
taken Vicksburg, out there under The
magnolia trees of Champion hills. The
! awful fighting for the city forts, later,
been in vain had Grant’s
been defeated that afternoon in
May. We went on to the Black rivet;
and fought again. Not knowing of our
victories, the government ordered Grant
to abanlon the campaign; let Vicksburg
go. Think of it! The messenger came
to him as he sat on his horse watching
some brave regiments storm the breast
works defending Black river bridge. “It
is too late.” he said to the messenger.
“Look yonder. Forty cannon are in our
hands.” And then, sitting there In his
saddle on the battlefield, he wrote Gen
eral Sherman a letter in pencil, telling
of the victory. The autograph letter is
in the writer's hands.
