Some Conical Stories of s.gnor De BegnIs.

Among Mr.. Lester Wallack's
'Memories" are some relating to "the
most nervous creature" he e er saw,
Slgnor De Regnis singer, who came
over to the United States in the same
ship with Mr.. Wallack and his father
In 1888. He was about six feet in
helgnt, portly aud pompOus. and
wore huge velvet cloak and a black
velvet cap. His grand appearance
made his childish ignorance and
cowardice all the more amusing.
Everything he saw filled him with
wonder, which he expressed without
reserve.
Two nights after the ship sailed,
the captain, thinking it was coming
on to blow, sent aloft 10 shorten sail
DE Begins was excited
'Oh, ah, mon capitnine de man!
what he go up dere for? Why he 60

HE is going up to reef the top

ITO do what"
IL IS6l Oile UOpodlt
ITO reefa de top of de sail? In de
dark? Mon Dieu. now he go higher
and without a candle"
He was ne er seasick, but was so
ttmid that he was happy only in a
dead calm
When the rest Of the passengers
were scOlding about the delay he
would say:
"Ah, it is beautiful, 1t is q callum
to-day. ain not alright. When it
blow l am alright. To-day it is Il
callum, and | 20 to play leest"
Mr.. Wallack, who was then hardly
more than boy, used to climb to
the mizzeDtOp with a book in his
pocket, and sit there with his arm
around a rope and read by the hour
The first time that De Begins saw
him going up the shrouds he
shouted:
Ola look at de young Wallackl
Don'tgo up dere, you fools. Suppose
de strings was to broke'
One night it was blowing hard, and
the ship was taken aback. Mr..
Wallack's father, being an old sailor,
knew what il meant, and sung out to
the steward:
s'Shut in the headlights"
The next morning the sea had gone
down. and De Begins, who had been
dreadfully scared, said:
IL was not the only one alright
There was the Old Wallack, he was
alright. l hear him call to de stew.
ard to give him light to die by"
On the first day out, when the ship
was con the wind lying pretty well
over, lie Begins, only half-dressed,
stuck his head into the main cabin
and said:
Steward. where is de steward:
Aska de capitane why the ship she
goes so crook Tell him de Signorlre

Standing one day beside the wheel,
he said:
"What that man he do he turn de
wheel around?"
He steers the vessel" the captain
answered.
"What is dat he keep a-looking at

THAT is the compass He watches
the compass and steers the vessel
by it,"
"Ha. dat is a umpick" humbugl
Chow do you suppose we find our

the captain
"You get de ship by de shore, you

You go dis way and dat way, some

while you get dere by chance, God
