by one accord, they became silent,
listening to Burke's reply, which Bur
ton was now strengthening by the
same repOse and attention. I have
never seen this element in acting car
ried so far, or accomplished with such
admirable results, not even upon the
French stage, and 1 am convinced that
the Importance of it in reaching the
best dramatic effects cannot be too
highly estimated.
1t was this characteristic feature of
the acting of these two great artists
that always set the audience wonder
ing which was the better. The truth
is, there was no "better" about the
matter. They were not horses running
q race, but artists painting a picture
it was not in their minds which should
win, but how they could, by their
joint efforts, produce a perfect work.
1 prOfted very much by these early
lessons.
Dying at the age of 80, it is wonder
full that Charles Burke left such an
enduring reputation as an actor. I do
not mean that his fame lives with the
general public, but his professional
brethren accorded to him the rarest
histriOnic genius. I have sometimes
heard comparisons made between Bur
ton and Burke, but they were so wide
ly different in their natures and their
artistic methods that no reasonable
parallel could be drawn Burton col
ored highly, and laid on the effects
with liberal brush, while Burke was
subtle, incisive, and refined Burton's
features were strong and heavy, and
his figure was portly and ungainly.
Burke was 1.-the and graceful. His
face was plain, but wonderfully express
I sive. The versatility of this rare actor
was remarkable, his pathos being quite
/ as striking q feature as his comedy.
! He had an eye and face that told their
meaning before he spoke, a voice that
/ seemed to come from the heart itself,
( penetrating, but melOdious. He sang
with great taste, and was a perfect
! musician. His dramatic effects sprung
more from intuition than from study /:
and, as was said Of Barton Booth, @the
blind might have seen him in his voice,
and the deaf have heard him IN his
visage."
Although only a half-br0ther, he
/ seemed like a father to me, and there
was a deep and strange affection be-
tween US. As I look back I recall
many social and professional sacrifices
/ that he made for me, and nay love for
/ him was so great that If we were alb
! sent from each other for any length of
time my heart would beat with delight
/ at his approach. Tt is scarcely fair to
] intrude upon the reader ones domestic
+ affections, but I am iEresistibIv i'm

J they must stand.

ton on the hammock BIZ sat down on
the msss-table, with his feet on the bench,
and commenced to swear. Good Lord,
how that old man did cussi 1t was awful.
The most sublimely terrific flow Of unstud-
led, phur-tainted blasphsmy and
tOrehight profanity I ever heard rolled
out OF William Henry McTumbIe. He
cursed himself and every living and man
innate object in i've tongues, and the damp
air blowing in of the bay prsoipitated
the phosphorus in his languages till it
hung in festoons, blue and dripping, from
the beams overhead.
Bill was still looking at his hammock
and using those fearful languages when
an officer grabbed him and his bed and
stood Bill up on the quarter deck with the
hammock over his shoulders. They made
him stand there four hours in his shirt
tail with the hammock on his shoulders,
and it nearly broke the old mans heart.
He hadn't much meat on his legs and the
calves were slowed around to the sides,
which made the sailors laugh. And the
very men who thought Bill was so smart
came round and guyed him and threw
sticky cuds Of tobacco big as Walnuts at
his bare legs.
@McTumble was a changed man after
that, and seldom spoke unless he had to. ,"

among the men for being smart, and
some Of the sailors thought he was a
great deal smarter than he was. They
thought that il a man talked he must be
smart, no matter what he said, and Will
lam Henry's inmOst thoughts bowled
along in the same channel. It was generally
conceded that Bill knew something about
everything, but one day he lost his grip
and dropped astern. And it all came
about through his inability to swear and
do quick work with his hammock flashing
at the same me.
Like lots of OLD people, William
Henry had to get up early in the morn
ing, an hour or so ahead of other folks.

against the law for man to change his
name without permission, but still he
couldn't be arrested for it if the change
meant the same as the original, even if it
was put in a milder form. And 1 reckon
he ought to know, for he read enough
books.
William Henry was a Scotchman, who
had sailed the salt seas for thirty years
before I met him, ten years ago. in the
guard-ship ut the Mare Island Cali
navy-yard. He was then a grabbed, dried
up old mariner of 20, and I reckon he's
sailing yet. About three months before
I met him he had quit the sea forever,
and gone into the hills of California to
work on q farm. But he told me after
ward that he hadn't the stuff in him that
farmers were made of. He was one day
trying to raise a calf by hand he said,
and, in order to teach the animal to
drink, William Henry nailed a piece OF
leather in the bottom Of the bucket and
poured some milk in on it. The strap
was about two inches long, and Williams
object was to get the calf to suck the
leather and drink the milk at the same
time So William held the pail in his
left hand and let the calf suck a mouth
full Of the fingers on his right. while he
gradually steered its nose into the pail.
The calf found the strap, but on the first
pull the hungry little creature sucked
about gallon of milk up into its head
through its hawse-pipes or nose-hOles.
Then it backed out of the pail and
snOrted. blowing the milk into William
Henry AlcTumble's eyes, hair, and Whis-
kers. He was so mad he batted the calf's
brains out with the pail. He said he
didn't like the business, and wouldn't
ship on another farm again as long as he
lived. The farmer had to let William
60, but he held onto his three months
wages to offset the calf. So William
Henry returned to his home on the roll
ing deep.
when he came aboard the guards he
was rugged up in a suit of brown Caiifor-
MIA Overalls, heavy, hObnailed shoes, a
fur cap, and little wooden muller twisted
around his neck. I reckon he had worn
that muller day and night. winter and
summer, since he first left Scotland as a
boy. He never took it of during the
three years VS. sailed together, and when
I first met William Henry his muller was
full of curdled milk that the calf had
snorte into it.
Did William Henry know he was run
ming a milk rOute?" asked the lubber.
Il 'spose he did, yet he never said any
thing about it. But you never saw a
man so tickled over getting safely of Of
dry land as William Henry was. He got
into a snit of sailor toys as soon as he
could, keeping nothing but his muftier
and hobnailed shoes, and went strolling
about the deck. He said il did his feet
good to tread the Oakum seams, and that
it would be a chilly day when anybody
caught him ashore again.
when he wasn't reading out of his
books he carried a full spread of canvas
on his jaw rigging and talked a blue
streak. He was the talkiest A. B. I ever
knew and was always going on with what
he knew about the marine service. He
knew more about It than did the printed

rules and regulations for the government
Of the United States navy and wasn't
afraid to say so. Then, his voice was one
Of those kind that incite people to riot,
voice that makes folks tired to listen to it
And his endless low of words rippled out
Of him like the low, mOnotonous gurgle
Of a busted steampipe under water. You'll
always End that a man with one Of
these voices wants to do all the talking
himself
That's what We do: an sometimes sea
men with smOoth-sailin' voices, remarked
Watkins, gazing up into the sky with a
far-aWay look in his eyes.
The Cap'n looked hard at Watkins, but
his suspicious, if he had any, were dis
PEELED by the sanity expression on that
individuals face. So he went on with his
story.
4Of course, this everlasting talk and
reading got William Henry a reputation

The regular hour for turning out was 6
o'clock in the morning. but this old man
felt that it was duty he owed to the
Government to roll out at o'clock and
lash up his hammock. If he had been
decent about it nobody would have
kicked, but he wasn't. He slept along
side of a mess-t table, and when he got up
he would put on b s hobnailed shoes Che
slept with his muller ON and stand on
bench while he dashed his hammock. He
had thirty feet of roPe with which to
make seven bitches around his bed.
Making a loop and passing the end Of the
rope through, William Henry would haul
the slack across the stiff edge of the can
vas hammock with a series Of zip, zip,
tips which sounded like a boy running at
full speed and holding a stick against
picket fence. Then when he got ready
to tighten up the turn he would step
back and throw his weight on the rope,
letting war-whoop at the same time.
These old sailors can't touch rope

without bowling like a maniac. Some
times he stepped too near the edge of the
bench; then the other end would fly up
and William Henry would spring for the
middle and fetch the bench down on
deck with d crash fit to wake the dead.
And that's the way the old codger would
put in his time every morning with the

JEFFERsON's HALF-BBOTHER.

What the Actor Says About Charles
Burke, His Near Relation.
1t was a rare treat to see Burton and
Burke in the same play; they acted into
each others hands with the most per
feet skill; there was no striving to
Guido each other, writes Joseph Jeffer-
son, in his autobiography in the De
cember number of the Century Maga-
zine. If the scene required that for a
time one should be prominent, the
other would become the background of
the picture, and so strengthen the
general effect; by this method they
produced a perfectly harmonious work.
For instance, Burke would remain in
repose, attentively listening while Bur
ton was delivering some humorous
speech.
This would naturally act as a spell
upon the audience, who became by
this treatment absorbed in what Bur
ton was saying, and having got the full
force of the effect they would burst
forth in laughter or applause; then,

question fred at them. They seem to
think that everybody ought to know by
intuition the odds and ends acquired In
lifetime on the vastly deep, and that ask
ing questions is an idle pastime which
should be frowned upon. For this rea-
son, perhaps, the Cap'n remained silent,
and the lubber, seeing that he had made
a bad break, considerably refrained from
repeating his question. After thought
fully contemplating his feet for several
minutes the Cap'n suddenly observed:
These here remarks about old people
makes me think Of a shipmate once
had named William Henry McTumble.
WAS McTumble really his name2" the
tandsman asked.
NO; his right name was McFall, but he
thought that was too harsh and abrupt
So he changed it to McTumble, which he
said was more musical and less liable to
jar on the sensitive ears of his shipmates.
He had a whole bagful of books, some of
'em two inches thick, but he could read
them just the same. He said it was

AY, Cap'n, does the
tide make the knots

ocean, or are they tied
by the seamen them
selves?" inquired the
lubber when the sail
Ors had assembled in
the usual place.
This question was
put in such an artIess
manner as to preclude
even the bare posi-
bility of a pun, and
yet the Cap'n didn't
know whether to get
mad or not. He grew
a couple of shades
redder when the sail
Ors looked at him and
snickered a little bit,
but he held in. 1t
