one day, the Hostess, in order to crafty
the taste OF her guest had pudding for
dinner. Unfortunately it came very

that when it was served it was extreme

A funny incident happeaed at the
Boston Theatre faw nights since.
Maggie Mitcholl was playing "Fan
chon.' In the third aot scene was set
in which bridge began on the right Of
the stage down near the auditorium, ran
directly to the rear, aud thence along
the whole width oftLo stage, which Is
perhaps the largest in the country. AT
tho end of tho act, after "Laldry's"
dialogue with "FanchQa," he runs off
up the bridge, and when about to do
this, and just as he took the first step
on the bridge, the hero's trousers, which
were Of the baggy kind generally worn
by stage peasants, fell down in the roar,
aud immediately a square yard Of linen
began to Autter in sight ofthc audience.
Landry" folt what had bsfallenl him,
clapped his hands to the exposed place,
and ran up and along the bridge as fast
as his lega GOULD carry him. For the
first couple Of aecopda the audience hard
ly could believe its oyes, out when the
situation was fully appreciated there
was q perfect howl.

Tom Marshall.

A case in which duel was prevent
cd by one Of the seconds, much to the
disgust Of the other, who happened to
be military man, may be related here
1t occurred du ring the extra session oil
Congress III 1911. Thomas f. Marshall
invited three gentlemen to dine with
him one stormy, dismal Sunday. One
of the guests was an ofhcor Of the army
from the South, who afterwards made
something Of name during the REBEL
ion. The other two we're connected
with the press. An entertainment given
by Tom Marshall before he joined the
cold water association was sure to bc
abundantly furnished with wine. Mar
shall and one Of the newspaper men,
who was from New Orleans, drank deep
ly. They had been class mates in col
loge, and were on terms of familiar
intimacy. A slight Misunderstanding
arose between them, and both being con
siderably elevated, harsh remark was
made by the editor. Marshall inquired
if he WAS responsible for what lie had
said. The reply was.
tom Marshall, you ought to know
me too we'll to ask such Il question
The party broke up rather suddenly
and short timo afterward the editor
brought to his friend OF the press who
was present at the dinner a challenge
which he had just received from Mar
shall, with an unconditional acceptance,
asking him to deliver the reply, see the
army officer, who was to act as Mar
shalls second, and make arrangements
for m Immediate meeting. The lliend
of the odilor wus inexperienced in such
matters, but he was impressed with the
folly of duel between two gentlemen
on misunderstanding at the dinner
table, and determined to prevent fight
