CHILDREN ON THE STAGE.
Sometimes They Are Funnier Than
They Are Meant to he.

Another child, playing in Driven from
Home is asked the question in the play.
How old are you, my child?" The lady
playing her mother is to answer, "She is
four" This child had been borrowed for
the performance, and when the lady an
swers, 'She is four" the little girl proudly
corrects her, 'tNo, am not; am seven.
A baby borrowed one evening for scene
in which she was to be brought to her
mother in a dying condition having just
fallen from high veranda, is brought on
by the Old man, who is just about to hand
the dying child to her mother, when the
baby vigorously springs up, jerks on the
old mans wig, and laughing loudly. holds
it aloof.
In country town one evening, when
blood-and- thunder drama was being enact
ed, old man and his wife sat near the
stage. The old mans daughter Mary and
her escort occupied seats in the back Of
. the hall When a loud report from the stage
/ revolver had just subsidized the old man
; speaks back in a loud voice TO his daugh--
! ter: did it skeer you. Mary? The old
woman was skeered so bad she jumped nigh
a rod high
( A little girl was asked if she would like
with the company. The child was delighted
with the idea, so she was engaged TO play
little Willie in East Lynne" 1t was not
necessary to give her a rehearsal, as she
was only required for the deathbed scene
She accompanied one of the ladies of the
company to the theater that evening and
was taken into the dressing room. She
had never been in theater before, and
thought the proposition was to play games
Sne was elateu at HnulnS Sucn idTSS,

and clapping her hands together. she glee-
fully exclaimed: "Oh, this is a lovely play
house! What will we play frst"' Then,
noticing the ladies beginning to undress.
she cried in distressed tone: oh, you
told me you were coming here to play,
and now you are all undressing to go to
bed She was quoted by the assurance
they gave her that it was necessary for
them and also for her to change their
dresses before beginning the play. So she
was kept in the dressing room. She did
not guess what was going on the stage
until her scene came. She was placed in
the cot to die. When the. curtain rose it
revealed Lady Isabelle bent over the dying
child. Underneath the cot was a very
stout lady to speak little Willie's lines.
She was concealed from the audience by
the long drapery of the couch. When the
curtain was up. and the little girl strained
her head around and saw that there was
an audience there she sprang from the
deathbed, taking the drapery with her,
ran from the stage, and all that was left
was Lady Isabelle, looking in surprise after
the vanishing little figure, and the fat lady,
lying under the couch with the book Of
East Lynne in her hand.
