AHTEMUs WARD.

Mr.. Toole, who was one OF ArtemuS Wards
most intimate friends IN London, says that he
told him the following story; He went to lee.
lure at a remote place. where his face was not
known. He was little late; the audience be-
came impatient and began to stamp with their
feet and to whistle By and by Ward came out
and began to move about the platform, busting
the chairs and desk. The people took him for a
"supe," and became still more impatient Pres
emily he turned around, dropped the dust cloth,
and said: "Now, having busted the chairs,
will begin my lecture" Many Of the jokes he
made we're not as good as this, but, noubt, served
TO amuse himself aud others. An acquaintance
told me that he was once riding In Broadway
omnibus when Browne got in, aud on being ask
ed for his fare, inquired OF the driver II he could
charge Ave dollars. The driver said he could
not, stopped the coach, aud requested Ward to
get out Upon this Wsrd became very indignant
Why should he get out2 Because he had not the
proper fare "But have" he said; II never said
hadn't ten cents. only asked II you could
change five dollars."-[E. s. Nadal; scrlbner fol
