A Profound Youngster.

There was convention of Sunday.
school teachers in session at Crystal
Lake, and all the teachers of the
three counties represented were there.
The amount of Biblical and theolog-
ical knowledge they had was some
thing astounding. On the last day
of the convention the high chief rang
er of the affair announced to the four
hundred delegates that he would be
pleased to have the knowing ones
think up some hard questions on sub
jects pertaining to their work, write
them en- slips of paper, and that
evening, at the last session, which
was to be a sort of entertainment, he
would answer them. A lot of people
wrote their questions and gave them
to the great professor, and when
evening came he had about fifty good
old gnarly problems in his bunch of
paper slips.
The evenings exercises began with
reading and answering the questions,
and though some of them were from
away back and very obtuse, the good
man who had put himself up there as
mark COPIED with them successfully,
and impressed the great gathering
with his vast knowledge.
Finally he ran against a question
that made him knit his brows. He
scowled at it moment, and then laid
it aside. When he had answered all
the rest he picked up this side-tracked
query, and said:
"Here is question which | con-
fess am unable to answer. | sub
NIT it to the audience, and if any one
is able to give the answer | will be
glad to hear what it is"
Then he read this query:
"Who was the boy and what was
his name who held The basket con-
tanning the five loaves and the two
fishes which fed the multitude"
Nobody made any effort to answer
it, and the professor said:
cit seems that nobody knows any
more about it than do. l will have
to call on the person who submitted
the question to come forward and an.
swer it. Will you please do so?"
To the great surprise of the four
hundred people, and of his mother as
well, Frank Jones, a thirteen-year-o
school-boy, got up and modestly
walked up the aisle. Everybody
looked at him amazed. The Pro,
lessor said:
"Did you submit this question:
eyes, SIR"
"Can you answer it?"
''Yes, sir"
swell, | am sure everybody will b.
glad to hear It,"
The boy said Frank, quietly
but steadily, "was Ben Ezra, son O
Miriam, who was sister of Phillip

CLARENCE'S PERIL.
Thought 1t Was a Real Alligator,
But 1t Wasn't.

Clarence Heritage. the genial "lead-
ing man" of the Ozark Secret COM
pany, is very fond of practical jokes,
but some of the boys in the company
gave him such big dose of his own
medicine the other day that he now be-
lieves there is possibility of carrying
a Joke too far. Procuring from the
relics of defunct museum q stuffed
alligator they placed couple of heavy
iron weights inside of it to keep it down
in the deepest part of the tank, pur-
posely selecting the spot where Clar-
ence would dive to the rescue of the
leading lady.
A rehearsal had been ordered, and the
alligator lay as TRANQUILITY as he had
often done on the muddy banks of the
Mississippi.
The rehearsal progressed, the drown
ing episode reached. Miss Carey stood
waiting, while Heritage made a trial
dive from the boat. Down he went,
head first. For moment after the
splash all was still. Then there was a
commotion which dashed the water in a
foam. A couple of drowning mules
could not have kicked and sp dashed
around under water with more energy
bottom slantingly and slid full length
under the scaly monster, which stood
on extended claws as naturally as if
alive. Heritage, imagining his last hour
had come, grappled with the monster,
struggling to free himself from
his imaginary embrace. 1t was
a lively wrestling match while it
lasted, collar-and-elbow, Gr;eco-Roman
and catch-as-catch-can, until Clarence
came to the top of the water. and, rush
ing to the edge oil the tank. Hoped over
on the stage, where, with beating heart
and bullying eyes, he gasped: For
Gods sake don't let Miss Carey into the
water until somebody gets gun. The
devil is down there, surew The broad
smile that fitted over the faces of the
spectators puzzled Clarence for few
moments until some one pulled the
string, bringing the museum prop to
the surface, when the victimized actor
started for his Smith d. Wesson, with
blood in his eve, while the rehearsal
suddenly terminated

sentation. The story of the play deals
with deep-dyed villainy of the sensa-
tional nature. and contains many eXcit-
ing incidents. There is representa-
ton of the Henley regatta, which is said
to be wonderfully realistic, in which
pleasure boats and steam launches ap-
pear, and a number of features that
cannot fail to add interest. George
Hosmer, the well-known oarsman, ap-

How He Is Sometimes Compelled
to Learn His Lines Hurriedly.
The faculty that most actors possess
of readily committing to memory their
parts does not seem remarkable, per-
haps to most people, but it would seem
astonishing if the people knew Of the
short space of time in which many an
actor who speaks his lines with smooth
ness and confidence has prepared HIM
two plays a week the ordinary mind
would find itself busted in learning the
parts, but when all emergency occurs,
when an actor is given but few
hours, or perhaps on a few minutes
notice to take a part, what then?
A nd such instances are not rare. Stage
Manager Harrison, Of the Peoples the
alter, for instance. holds himself to take
anybOdy'S part at any moment. He has
been put to the test. too, more than
once-a remarkable test, perhaps, when
an actor named Charles Barranger,
about a year ago failed to show up. The
play was MARY Warner" and Bar
rangers absence was not discovered
until the curtain was about to be rung
up. Harrison caught up a carpenters
blouse ana went on WIN narQly more
than glance at the lines of the part.
MIR. Harrison says it is not the power of
memorizing but of nolding-fiXing the
words in the mind for the time, and in
proof of this says: 1.-THE next day
| could not remember word of the
lines / spoke.' Once when was play
ing in Barnum's old New York museum

place in pauline" on almost moments
notice, but got through all right, and
played the part for three weeks.
Edwin Terry, of the Peoples, once did
something in this line at the Pence that
was really remarkable. The play was
"Our Railroad Men," and Terry had a
part. Another actor who played dual
role failed to show up. 1t was thought
the house must he closed. but Terry
came to the rescue, not only playing his
own part, but those of Supt. Holmes and
Detective Campbell, which were both
long parts. The parts were. so ar
ranged that he could wing" them,
that is, read the liens over once or
twice while off the stage, and he ac-
Quilted himself creditably in all three.

FOYER GOSSIP.

81. S. Taylor, manager of "a Dark Secret, "
is quite a hustler. and is remembered here
when he was Joseph JeffeIson's representa-
tive five years ago and working on salary.
He conceived the idea of a booking agency
i'll New York tor the convenience of provll-
cal managers, and carried it into execution.
The scheme was practical and of immense
advantage. Taylor made money out of this
theatrical venture, and bought several MS.
plays for speculation. He hit the bulls eye
in "A Dark Secret and is now making
$40, 900 per annum out OF it. Harry as he
is familiarly Known. is IL great favorite with
everybody, and i'll no wise "swelled' in the

and his mobile face assumes Mephistophlean
sheer. and he commences to spread his deadly
net. WeadOn is the most sindefatieaple and
willy Schemer in the show business, and is
worth his weight in gold as shrewd adver-
tiser.
Otis Collrun, whose literary workmanship
is easily recognizable in the Pence opera
house productions, only works as diet
tante. Collrun has strong predictions for
commercial pursuits, and is interested in a
sausage manufactory i'll East Minneapolis.

WANTED, A GOOD REASON.

Can any one give good reason,
Can any one tell us why,
When some great calamity happens,
sFhe public and newspapers cry:
LET all of the theaters open
And give a performance some. night;
In aid of so worthy an object
The professiZn will do what is right:"
Can any one give good reason
Why the doctors don't give up the fee
They get from their patients one evening
In aid of the same charity?
Or the lawyers give all of the money
Obtained in their practice that day.
Or the clergy their salary Sunday,
AS we'll as the theaters. pray?
Can any one give good reason
Why the merchants should all be exempt
From giving whole day of profit
Or the landlords certain days rent :
To make up the money that's needed?
Or is it the right thing to call
On actors and actresses only
To carry the bur den for all?
Can any one give good reason
Why the dramatic profession alone
Should work for all charities gratis.
And their pocketbooks open be thrown;
While those who so often decry them
Do nothing but hand round the plate,
And. though putting nothing into it,
Get praise for their charity great?
