Why deal with cooperative or assessment

assets: they have none. Its policy is good for

see fit to contribute. Its premiums are definite;
you know what you are to pay. Their

The future competition the Grand Trunk

VIEWING THE MACHINERY.

They had been sitting on the promenade
deck for more than an hour, when. she sug
gested that they go down stairs and look at
tho machinery. He agreed, and an old lady
who sat near and heard the conversation
rose up and said
Young man, have you any objection to
my going along9 I've allus been crazy on

He replied that he would be delighted
and she followed the couple to the main
deck.

young man, +" is the main shaft"

The old woman stuck up her nose, but
made no remarks.
"That up there is the walking beam"
Oil is it I? How nice You wouldn't
think it could walk. but of course 1t does"
The old woman put on her spectacles to
get a better look at the girl.
That rod you see there" continued the
young man, " is called an eccentric"

Bryn Mawr and others of those pictur-

through landscape which in the fresh
August morning seems to have borrowed
richer hue from natures coloring. The
sunlight spreads over all its mantle Of
golden loneliness, shawdows chase each
other in quick succession over the many
tinted fields, groves and solitary trees
spread cool shades over spots which tempt
the weary traveller, and far away the
South Mountain stretches in misty hazi-

Oh, yes the houses are nearly all closed

Well, I'm just going down to quiet little
place know of down in Maine and take
good two months lay off,"

little idea about your occupation? Why,
there's lots of theatre goers who hardly
know that there is such person as a stage

know that good many think it's soft

Harda Why, there isn't q person on
the Stage or of who has TO pay such assidu-
Gus attention to every detail of the play.
Why, you see, We have to follow the piece
line for line and word for word. We must
watch every motion of the players. If an
actor makes the least stumble the prompt
er must fully anticipate it and pass him the
needed word before the audience can de-
tect any break. If an actress begins to look
nppealingly to the audience the prompter
sees that she is stuck and at once gives her
the required cuen
You must have to get pretty familiar
with play before ever il goes upon the
boards"
Familiar? should say SO. have to
commence with the rehearsal and distribute
their respective parts to the members of the
company. Then, while rehearsals IRE on,
my time is occupied in writing out the
parts, for the changes of scene, TO guide the
stage carpenters. Besides this must make
out list of properties, wardrobe for the
supers and ten thousand and one little
things that have to be supplied for every
new play"
:" suppose you have plenty of annoy
ances from the stage people sometimes ?"
" Yes, seldom have to tackle amateurs.
I'm happy to say, but there is now and then
professional who is too fresh for any
use. If there is anything I dread it is try

night. Some of them, of course, get through

the mortal fear of making break that, once
on the stage, if they happen to lose q word
they get 80 nervous that they can hardly
repeat what the prompter gives them. Then,
