An Actors Presence Of Mind.

OF his experiences in his early days
Sothern, says his memoirs, with his
keen of humor, had, in after life,
many amusing stories to tell, of which
the following is an example: An actor
was playing the part Of a prisoner in n
dungeon, and, in order to make his cs-
cape, had concealed in his dress q file
about eighteen inches long. He had
filed Off his handouts and shackles.
and through his prison bars, and had
leaped on the stage, when the Eiogs
carabileers made their appearance and
pointed their muskets at him, the bust
ness of the piece being that lie was to
be shot dead in full view of the audi-
ence. The word Fire" was given.
followed by half o dozen feeble and.
harmless clicks the property man
having forgotten to LOAD the guns.
Here was a dilemma. Without the
death of the escaped prisoner the piece
could not come TO an end. and how was
the unfortunate actor TO commit the
happy dispatch? Quick us lightning

had real dramatic genius. am into
his mind. With q quick movement he
thrust the ponderons file in the direc-
ton of his throat, at the same instant
performing a kind of coniuriug trick
which caused it to disappear, and then
melodramatically exclaimed: "My God!
L have swallowed the tile!" He then
came down to the footlights, and. to
the entire satisfaction of the audience.

BE Wary Of Choosing. Girls.

Tt was excellent advice l saw lately
given to Young ladies urging them TO
marry only gentlemen or not marry at
all. "A true gentleman is generous
and unscltish. He regards anotllcr's
happiness and welfare as we'll MS his
own. You will see the trait running
through all his actions. A man who is
n bear at home among his sisters and
discourteous to his mother is Just the
man to avoid when YOU come to the
great question which is to be answered
yes or no.. You necd'not die old maids.
But wait until the prince passes by.
No harm i'll delay.
You will not be apt TO find him in
tile ballroom. Nor is he Il champion
billiard player. He has not had time
to become a Champion" for he has
had too much honest, earnest work to
do In the world. j have always OBJ
served that these champions were
seldom good for much else.
Be wary in choosing. girls, when so
much is at stake. DO not mistake q
passing fancy for unJying love. Mar
rying IN haste rarely ends we'll. Do
not resent too much the interference
of your parents. You will travel long
aud far in this world before you will
find any one who has your true inter
est ct heart more than your father and
mother.-Philadelohig Record.

in good faith.
