An Affecting Scene OF Tragedy Broken
Up by the Principal Character.

An Affecting Scene OF Tragedy Broken
Up by the Principal Character.
Many amusing incidents are recorded
of the laughable blunders caused by
doubling parts. Among them is story
of George Powell, an old English actor,
who was among the great men Of the
stage in 1900. The play was Rowe's
"Fair Penitent," in which the naughty,
gallant, gay Lothari0 10 slain at the close
of the fourth act, but his corpse figures
prominently in the concluding scene.
The stage directions provide for a room
hung with black, with Lothario's body
upon a bier standing on one side of the
stage, on the other side a table with a
skull, book and lamp. Calista is discov-
cred on a couch in the back. In this, as
in similar cases, it was clearly unneces-
sary for the impersonator of the lively
Lothario Of the fourth act to represent
his dead body in the fifth. It was usual,
therefore, to allow the actors dresser to
perform this delightful duty. Now, Mr..
Powells dresser was a rather timid
young man by the name Of Warren, and
on the occasion recorded was lying on
tho bier waiting for the curtain to go
down on the fifth act.
Powell, forgetful that his attendant
was employed in impersonating the
corpse Of Lothario, was impatient to be
gone and called loudly for his dresser.
He was very passionate man and when
enraged quite violent. He opened his
door and called for Warren and threat
ened him with the severest of punish
ments if he did not Immediately come to
his assistance.
The unhappy dresser could not help
overhearing his raging master, yet for
some time his fears were surmounted by
his sense Of dramatic propriety. He
tremblingly longed for the fall Of the
curtain. Powell threatened to break
every bone in his skin, which threat he,
in his dresser's opinion, was n man quite
likely to carry out. The situation finally
became unbearable, and, with a cry
"Here ! am, MASTER" Warren sprang up.
clothed in tho sable draperies which were
fastened to the handle of his bier.
The house roared with surprise and
laughter as the dead Lothario, encum-
bered with his charnel house trappings,
fled from the stage. The play, of course.
ended abruptly, and for once the somber
tragedy Of the "Fair Penitent" had a
mirthful conclusion. New York Herald.

woman and Politics.

According to the story Of man from
Wyoming, woman suffrage has not ma
terially changed the nature of woman.
The surest way to get an Indifferent
woman to vote is the threat Of a neigh
Dor to kill her husbands vote by an
other. Straightway the shiest woman
will put on her hat and 60 to the polls.
Every woman, however, takes pains to
register to be prepared for any emer-
gency, and politics is the chief topic at
the sewing bees, church circles and aft
ernoon teas. The women had some trou-
BILE with the Australian ballot, and pri-
vate rehearsals We're held in every house.

His Offering
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
There was n child dead in the
house. a girl of seven or eight
whose deformity had not allowed
her to be as other children. She
looked out and saw them Mt play
heard them tell of the streets and
parks far away-of the broad fields
and green woods which her eyes had
never looked upon. Almost help
less-surrounded by poverty-the
world outside was IA strange world
10 her. Sometimes she sat for hours
and wondered what it was like, and
when she awoke at night and caught
sight of tho twinkling stars through
her window she grieved and wept
because she could not go forth and
walk to and fro and know that they
were looking down upon her. One
time-onc time when she sat on the
doorstep and saw n lad of the street
crush poor, homely flower beneath
his heel--a flower which some one
had thrown away in passing--she
cried out in sorrow, and to comfort
her he had promised to some day
bring her store OF them.
For days and weeks and months
she had remembered this promise,
and each day she hoped for its full
fllment He forgot it in day. He
lived in another street, and he even
forgot that she lived. But on this
day, when the undertaken had placed
his emblem OF death on the door he
passed that way and was told that
little Katie, the cripple, was dead.
Then he remembered what had hap
pened in the long ago-how she had
cried out rs If stabbed in the heart,
how his promise had comforted her.
He walked slowly away-up one
street and down another-on and on,
until by and by he saw flowers by
the roadside. They were simple
flowers chilled by the frosts and
faded by the drear winds of autumn.
Men smiled as they saw him gather
them. Women and children won
dered and smiled as they saw him
carry them through the streets of
the town.
Up this street-down that-turn
to the right or left, and by and by
he stood before the house again and
saw the insignia of death huttered
by the winds.
Those who passed him laughed as
they saw the withered and dust
covered flowers tightly held in his
red hand, but he needed tn
BY and by he softly open
and cre''' in. lere we
fore him, and in the other roC
heard words Of sympathy and I
of grief. He tip-toed across J.
room, rs if fearful that the sound of
his feet might awaken the dead, and
carefully deposited his Offering on
the breast of her who was sleeping
her last sleep.
Then he went softly out, grieying
that he had come too late, and feel
ing his way because the tears blind
ed him, and mother nor father nor
any one else knew who had come and
paid his reverence.
And when they found the flowers
and wept over them they were no
longer flowers plucked from the dus-
ty wayside. They were no longer
dead and dying. The reverence Of
their giving made them more beau
tiful and fragrant than any floral
tribute placed upon the coffin of a
millionairp
