The Stage Carnenter.

LLOYD Breeze, who is Russeli's bust
ness manager Clipped in and tod a
story on their stage manager, j. IL.
Fitzpatrick, who is an old timer and
very conscientious. He would send
the scene plot for the piece to no one
but the stage carpenter OF the theatre
at which they were to play, always
drawing it off and addressing it to
that worthy. One day Breeze reache
q little California town to herald the
show, and on his drive up to the hotel
he passed the office of the stage coach
line which ran from that point to
Yuba Dam or some other equally pro
fame point of the compass. In front
of the Office he saw an old native
holding a paper at arms length and
regarding it wonderingly. At a glance
he recognized it as one Of his stars
scene plots and he at once made in
quirieS. Itappears that the document
was directed to the stage carpenter, "
and that it had been delivered to the
man who did the carpenter work
for the stage company. The lat
ter thought for time that
he had discovered a plot to
rob the company, as he did not under
stand the peculiar drawings, but
Breeze set things right by turning the
document over to the janitor of the
''opera house" no such official as
stage carpenter" being known there.

"A young man 'ann young lady o.
marriageable age of Sumpter County,
Georgia. had a singular coincidence to
befall them. The young man visited
his sweetheart in another county, one
day; the young lady's lover from an
other county visited her the same day.
The young man and his girl set the day
for their marriage, and the young lady
and her beau set their day. 1t now
turns out that they set the same day to
celebrate their marriage, and both
parties selected the same minister to
perform the ceremony. and it is to take
place at the same hour. The two cere-
monies take place in two different
counties about twenty miles apart.

One Of our townsmen relates that a
friend OF his, while stopping at the
seashore, caught a number of very
fine eels, and thought it would be nice
if they could be brought home. 1t
was difficult to find just the best means
of transportation, but an old oil cloth
covered hand bag was procured, and
the cells placed in it. The man board
ed the train, and placed the carpet bag
under the seat and thought nothing
more of it until some time after the
train had started, when suddenly a
woman who sat about four seats in
front of him jumped up on the seat,
drawing up her skirts, end yelled
"Snakesl" The man looked that way,
and saw one of the largest OF the eels
slowly wriggIing across the car, and,
as there was by this time general
commotion throughout the car, he
picked up the gripsack, and, remark
ing that The did not care to stay IN
car where the conductor allowed
snakes to run about the floor, made
his way to the smoker, and has never
heard yet whether the snake" was
caught or not. = Waterbury American.

The BABES In The WOODS.

Last Sunday Norman johnson and
Nelson Clark drove to "Pine Hill "
for the purpose Of picking blue ber-
ries. Everything went smoothly on
this brushy and wooded eminence un-
til the fullness of their pals and the
fast setting sun warned them that it
was time to "dig" for home. But
here a new difficulty stared them in
the face. They had become separa-
ted and neither knew of the others
whereabouts. Now Norman is as
"deaf as an adder" and if he under
took to halloo couldn't for the life of
him tell whether he did or not, and as
to his hearing Nelson, although he
might be Stentor, it was out of the
question. So each, understanding
the conditions, contented themselves
with :. still hunt" until darkness set
in. Norman then found his team and
made for home. Nelson still tramped
on until he fell and slid about so feet
down one of the steep declivities that
abound in that locality, losing the
greater part of his berries. He then
made q virtue of necessity and finding
cozy nook ensconsed himself for the
night. With the early dawn Monday
morning he once more set out and
succeeded in reaching civilization in
time to get breakfast, the first meaI
in "a hours. He reached the village
about 8 o'clock with about quart OF
berries. He VOWS he will never &C
