Since Mr.. Charles Dickson firet np.

Comedian Of Louise Dillon In ThcWife,
he has always been populafly remem.
bered, and while no one thought he had

stars are made, everyone wished him
well when It was announced that he
would head his own company In n
farce comedy by Mrs. Pachico, wife Of
former governor Of California. This

and his success has becnsuch up to this
time that It will probably notbe his last.
Last evening u goodly sized audience
assembled to greet Incog on Its second
preseniation In Salt Lake and the
hearty laughter over the amusing
complications which followed the re-
semblance Of the three Dromios was AZ
general as before. The utter lack OF

incog, and despite It's very amusing
sltuations 1t Is impossible at nil times

cause we know the unreal source from
which they spring. The piece Ia

An Anxious Mother.

Mrs. Bruton discovered recently
that her son Reginald, aged 18, was
smoking a vast number of cigarettes
every day, and in speaking of the
matter to Captain Soaker, a family
friend, said:
"You know, captain, it isn't those
harmless little paper things Reggie
smokes that I fear. They are such
insignificant tri1es, but what I am
afraid Of is that the dear, unsuspi-
cious boy will go on smoking them
until he acquires the tobacco habit
and takes to those great, horrid ci-
gars and things"
"Banish your idle fears, my dear
woman" replied the captain. "Sci-
ence has as yet failed to discover
any actual relation between the Gig.
arctic habit and the tobacco habit.
As long as your son continues to
smoke cigarettes he will never de-
velop a craving for tobacco"
And Mrs. Bruton that evening, aft.
or exhibiting a beautiful silver Gig
arctic case which she had just bought
for dear Reggie" remarked that
Captain Soaker was such a sympa-
thetic adviser on family affairs, and
what q comfort it was to talk with
him when one was in trouble!

A Trying Ordeal For "a Pianist.

Not long ago was in a room in
which there was an eminent pianist.
He played as, so far as l know, he
alone can play one of Chopins mas
terpieces- es-dowering his finger tips
with the eloquence of many voices.
Directly he had finished, the lady of
the house went sailing up to him.
''Thank you so much You should
hear my little girl do SO want you
to tell me what you think of her.
For so small a child-not yet learned
music two years-we think she's
wonderful"
Before the astonished virtuoso,
whose knowledge of English is not
profound, could get word in edge
ways there was a small child about
years of age planted on the music
stool with "Ye Banks and Braes, u
with variations, opened out in front
of her.
In self sufficient little nonenity,
who had "not yet learned music two
years." ana who naturally had nc
music in her, the performance was
excusable, and it would be too much
to say that sudden death would have
been its only adequate reward-but
in the presence of that famed musi
clan! lido not know what he suf
fered. I know what we felt.-Al

Sans Liking For His Playmate.


Eight-year-old Sam spent a winter
in Florida and was there limited to
two little girls for playmates- the
only children in the vicinity. Both
were charming little maidens-one a
plump, heavy little blond damsel,
and the other a slim, thin, witchy
little dark eyed elf.
1t was soon apparent to the young
mans mother that he exhibited de-
cided partiality for Ethel, the stout
little playmate, always giving her
the largest piece of cake, the lions
share of the caramels and the prefer
ence in all matters of play. So the
mother remarked one day, with wise
desire to equalize her sons atten-
tions:
'Sam, you ought not to give Ethel
more than you do Isabel. You should
treat them just alike. Isabel is just
as nice as Ethel"
1t is easily imaginable that the
small boys mother was somewhat
staggered when that discriminating
youth answered gravely, II like 'em
fat. New York Tribune.

Mud In Inland Rivers.

The late Mr.. Rennie reported that
4OO,O tons of mud were annually
discharged into the Thames from the
sewers of London, and the innumer-
able shoals between the More and
the Downs amply prove that this
calculation is not exaggerated. In
days gone by, the mud dredged from
the London docks was carried by
barges to the Osier forelands on the
banks of the sea, where valuable
frontage for building and other pur-
poses was obtained. From the mud
in it's desiccated state bricks have
been made in large quantities, which
have been named Sir Robert Wig,
rams bricks, having first been made
on his lands. London Tit-Bits.

Early Wedding Customs.

The enamored maiden should have
learned long ere this time that to
"change the name and not the letter
is to change for the worst and not
the better" Also that to marry and
yet "to keep her own name is TO keap
her condition forever the same"
Getting down to the wedding it.
self, it is interesting to know that
the word is derived from the Anglo
Saxon term wed" which was the
name of the security given by the
bridegroom at the espousals. This
"wed" was held by trustees, and the
bridegroom further added such pres.
ents as he could afford, all of them
to go to the bride, or in fact to revert
to himself after he fulfilled his con
tract of marriage.--New York Sun.

Troubled with a Composite Vision.

"There is something peculiar about
my eyes or the wayI see objects
that causes me a great deal of an
noyance," said a gentleman yester-
day. II seem to see in a composite
manner-that is, the effect is like a
composite photograph. When I am
going along the street, my eyes will
perhaps receive the image Of one
man passing, and the next man l
meet his image combines with the
one 1 had previously seen and forms
what 1 take to be the image of a
friend. 1t occurs in this way, as far
as 1 can reason: Ipass man hav-
ing a mustache, and the next person
I meet perhaps has nothing but a
goatee. In this last man l do not
see the man as he is, but l see a
man with a mustache and goatee,
and perhaps the combination of fea-
lures makes the image appear like a
friend. 1 speak to him only to find
out my mistake. y Pittsburg Dis
