win Hansard, travelling salesman of
Louisville, was once upon q time pursuing
his calling in Bell and Harlan counties,
KY. These two counties are tho most
mountainous and thinly inhabited In the
State. Just before starting back to Louis
vile he passed the night at farmhouse in
Harlan. When he went TO bed he hung his
trousers on chair near the window. Next
morning the trousers were gone and no one
knew where Some one passing in the
night had reached In at the window and
taken them, for his host was above sus-
picion.
Mr.. Hansard called loudly for the farmer,
expecting to borrow a pair Of trousers from
him. His wife came TO the door and said
that her husband had gone hunting an hour
before, and, as he had only one pair Of
trousers, he had very naturally worn them.
Here was a dilemma, but his hostess, who
was woman Of expedients, solved it. She
came TO the door with one Of her Mother
Hubbards and suggested that the drummer
put it on. He consented She tossed the
garment to him and closed the door. He
got into the Mother Hubbard, went out to
the stable, hitched up his team, and climbed
into his buggy. Here he took the garment
of and handed it back TO the lady, who was
full Of sympathy for him The buggy con-
cealed his lower extremities, and he
wrapped his linen duster around them to
keep them warm.
Mr. Hansard drove quickly to the near
est store, about four miles away, expecting
to buy pair Of trousers there, for all the
country stores kept ready-made clothing.
When he got there he found numerous
ladies who had congregated to see the
opening Of some new goods. He could not
leave the buggy, but he yelled for the
proprietor to come out, and TO him he made
known his predicament The merchant
brought to him five or six pairs Of trousers.
He drove down into neighboring hollow,
tried them on, found pair TO fit him, and
thus his tribulations were ended.

"Little Lord Fauntleroy."


Considerable interest attaches to the
forthcoming production in this city OF Mrs.
Burnett's famous dramatic idyl, Little
Lord Fauntleroy," and expectation runs
high anent the calibre of the company that
Mr.. French will send here to interpret the
beautiful lines. the tender pathos and the
characteristic humor of the talented author
ess.
No play of modern times has made SO
genuine and 80 lasting success as this
simple little child drama, and Mrs. Bur
nett's name will 20 down to posterity az
the writer of the most charming, simple
and fascinating play ever known in the
history of the stage. Cedric Errol-Little
Lord Fauntleroy-bounds into favor at once
and as the play progresses the
favor becomes stronger, until it reaches its
maximum at the close of the play, and
every man, woman and child in the audi
enoe goes away more than pleased. From
flushed and out of breath with his foot
race, interest is keen, and there is not a
dull moment in the performance. Mrs.
Burnett's masterpiece has an exquisite set
ing in its dramatic form, and resembles her
inimitable work in that 1t goes straight to
the heart at every point in the play. There
can be no difference Of opinion on this
point. The simple story, acted SO natural
~ and touchingly, never fails to make an
impression.
It will be at Mings opera house to-mor-
row and Thursday evenings and special
matinee on Thursday at two O'Clock.
