A speclalist in dipsomania was talk- Ing about the cunning with which dip- somaniaes in confinement will obtain liquor. “A certaln noted but intemperate ac- tor,” said Dr. Gresham James, “was once locked up by his manager in or- der that he might not spoil the even- ing performance by overdrinking. His confinement was close. ‘Windows, doors—everything was locked and bar red. “But the actor beckoned to a man in the street, showed a greenback and bawled to him through the closed win- dow to go and buy a bottle of brandy and a clay pipe. “When the man returned with these purchases the actor called: “‘Stick the pipe stem in through the keyhole.” “This was done. “‘Now,” said the actor, ‘pour the brandy carefully into the bowl.’ “As the fluid fell into the bowl the actor sucked it up, and when his man- ager came to release him that even- ing he lay in a corner quite glorious- ly drunk.’— Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele- graph. The Way It Read. The editor of a little paper was in the habit of cheering up his subscrib- ers daily with a column of short perti- nent comments on their town, their habits and themselves. The depart- ment was the most popular thing in the paper. The editor, as he saw it growing in favor, gradually allowed himself a wider latitude in his remarks until the town passed much of its time conjec- turing “what he’d das’t to say next.” On a hot day when the simoom whis- tled gayly up the street of the town, depositing everywhere Its burden of sand, the editor brought forth this gem of thought: 7 “All the windows along Main street need washing badly.” The next morning he was waited on by. a platoon of indignant citizens, who confronted him with the paragraph in question fresh from the hands of the compositor and informed him fiercely that he had gone too far. After a hasty and horrified glance he admitted that he had. It now read: “All the widows along Main street need washing badly.”—Everybody's. His Mother’'s Ruse Failed. A Kansas City professional man, ‘who Is prominently identified with Mis- souri politics, tells the following story on himseif: “My folks moved from Indiana to Johnson county, Mo., when I was six years of age. We settled on a farm near Holden. The first Sunday we were there and while the family was preparing for Sunday school it was discovered that I did not have any shoes. My mother, realizing that ‘folks would talk’ if one of her children made his first public appearance barefooted, suggested that I have a cloth tled around one foot to create the impres- sion ‘that I was unable to wear shoes tled on me. Everything went along smoothly, and I learned all about bears eating the bad children up when I heard a snicker from a boy I after- ward licked, He was pointing to my right foot. I glanced downward. “The rag had slipped off, and my mother's ruse was exposed.”—Kansas City Star. ',hecause of a sore foot. So the rag was 8peechless, but Graphic. A knowledge of the art of drawing is sometimes very useful. A well known caricaturist had done himself very well at a dance and was being put into a eab by some friends, none of whom knew where he lived, and he himself wag more or less speechless, At last, however, he mapaged to extrl- cate a pencll and n'shaa? of paper from his pocket and drew a sketch, which, when finished, he handed out of the cab. The drawing was a clear sketch of a well known church steeple in Langham place. They all reeog: nized It, and, with shrieks of laughter, handed it to the cabman, who re marked: “All right, I knows {t—Langham street,” and he drove off.—Illustrated Bits. The Stage Doorkeeper. It 1s one of the traditions of the pro fession that every actor and actress on entering the theater shall say “Good evening” and on leaving “Good night” to the stage doorkeeper. Dur- ing the many dreary hours I have been permitted to stand in the stuffy hallways of many stage doorkeepers I have never known an actor, from the haughtiest Shakespearean star.to the lowliest chorus girl, fail to greet the stage doorkeeper with enthusiasm. and I can remember but few instances of the greeting ever having’ been re- turned.—Charles Belmont Davis in Outing Magazine. Her Secret Sorrow. “That woman over there has some hidden sorrow,” declared the sympa- thetic one as she came in and took her seat at a’table not far away. “I have often noticed her. See. Her com- panion orders everything she could possibly want, and yet she sits there sllent with a face like a mask. I am awfully sorry for her.” “Don’t you worry,” advised her pessl- mistic friend. “That’s her husband with her. She’s bored, that's all.”— New York Press. Question For Question. “My son wants to marry your daugh- ter. Does she know how to cook a good dinner?” “Yes, if she gets the materials for one. Does your son know how to sup- ply them ?'—Baltimore American. Idleness always envies Industry— Italian Proverb There that Charlotte Bronte when a girl of sixteen broke out angrily at some one who said she was always talking about clever peo ple, such as Johnson and Sheridan “Now, you don't know the meaning of clever,” she said. ‘Sheridan might be clever—scamps often are—but Johnson hadu’t a spark of ‘cleverality’ in him.” That remark really gives the essence of Johnson and the key to the great qualities of his work, for in his case even more than in most the prose was the man. Whoever wants ‘“cleverai 1ty” had best leave Johuson alone. The signal merit of Johnson's writings is that he always means what he says and always says what he means. He may often have talked for victory, but except perhaps In the political pam phlets he always wrote for truth.— London Times. g i Dr. Mabie and the Liveryman. A literary pilgrim, says the Satur- day Evening Post, once made his way to Summit, N. J,, to pay his respects to Hamilton Wright Mable. At the station he asked the liveryman who bad been In service there for thirty years: “Can you tell me where Dr. Mabie Uves?” 5 “Never heard of him,” replied the ltveryman. “Surely you must,” continued the pllgrim. “I mean Hamilton Wright Mabie.” “Shucks!” responded the driver. “He ain’t a doctor. He's a reporter for a newspaper.” ‘When told of this incident Mr. Ma- ble put the seal on it by saying: “And just to think that I subscribed tor a wooden leg for that liveryman!” Retaliation. A mun who was a guest at one of the summer resorts in West Virginia tells of a wedding ceremony -he wit- nessed in the town near by. The minister was young and easily embarrassed. It was the first wedding he had ever undertaken. The prospec- tive bride and groom were both youn- ger and stlll more easily embarrassed than he. When the minister had finished the service and muttered a few kindly but halting words to the young couple he had just united the bride looked at him, blushing, but confident. “Thank yer,” she sald clearly. “It's ghore kind o' yer to congratulate us. an’ as long as you haven’t ever been married yit maybe we’ll have a chance some day to retaliate.” —Harper’s Weekly. The Owe Sheridans, Richard ' Brinsley Butler Sheridan,-| the great Irishman, was all his life long in dire straits for money, and when he died in 1816 the balliffs were actually in possession of his house. Sheridan’s forbears had been O'Sher- Idans. “Why,” asked on one occasion his little son—“why have we not the O’ as well as they?” “Heaven only knows,” was the fa- ther's reply. ‘“We ought to have it, for we owe everybody.” Only One of a Kind.: “Why do you think he is such a re- markable man?”’ - “He’s the only one I ever knew who had nerve enough to make the re- gponses in the marriage service loud enough so that any one could hear hin.”"—Chicago Post.
