VERY CARELESS MAN.
Brohtn-Down Actor Who Lost 4
Parents within Two weeks

BroktnD Down Actor Who Lost His
Parents Within Two Weeks.
There are two good stories told by j. E.
Dodson the player, illustrating the rcady
wit of II. J. Byron, the English author.
One day Byron was walking through the
Strand, when he encountered an old
frlenC-a broken down tragedisn OF the
',crdshed" type. who had seen better days.
On this occasion The histrion looked unu
sually downcast. He was clad III rusty
black. ana his tall hat was encircled by a
shabby piece of Grape.
What's up. old man. asked Byron.
Il am in sore trouble Henry replied
the actor. Il lost my mother, dear old
soul. last week. The funeral was yester-
day"
''Too bad, too bad" sympa;hized Byron.
Were there many at the ceremonics?".
My boy said the tragedian. swelling
with oid-iine pride I'VE turned 'en away.
thus showing the ruling passion, strong
in even the presence OF death.
Two weeks later Byron encountered the
saiue man IN about the same place. He
was more woe-begone IN appearance, his
black was rustier, his Grape wider.
Whats the trouble now, old chapyT
asked Byron.
Alas" was the reply, Il lost my dear
father Tuesday"
My. uiy," exclaimed Byron. you're the
most careless man / ever saw"
Ia the coIdcst of weather Byron never
affected Il fopcnat. prefsrring the short
pcajacket. and this was u source OF won
ferment To his colder er-b.ootied friends. One
bitter day, when the wind was as keen
and cruel as a blade Byron hustled along
the street IN his short Jacket. when he
was halted by a friend. who was bundled
from ears 10 heels IN q huge ulster.
You're a wonder, Byron" he said.
''You never wear an overcoat"
No" replied Byron, soicmnly; Il never

WOMEN STEAL COOK BOOKS.
Rcmarka BILE Charge Made by a I.ibrar
ian of New York.
New York World


An assistant librarian at the largest
circulating library in the city this week
made an important contribution to the ques-
ton which has often been discussed Were
women honest?
member of the library asked him for
good illustrated cook book.
I'VE don't Keep cuOk books any louger."
he said.
''Why?"
The ladies always steal thcin,'' he said
in the most matter-uf-fact way.
Further inquiry ELECTED other facts. 1t
appears that until within two or three
years the library was in the habit of pur-
chasing six copies of every good, useful
cook book. But they disappeared in an iu-
credibly short space Of time.
Women members resnrted to all sorts
of lodges to get possession OF the cook
books. In some cases a woman would call
for a half dozen books. Including the cook
book, and then ask the librarian to bring
her some more books, and while his back
was turned slip the coveted volumc under
her cloak. She would then formally borrow
one of the latest batch OF books and trip
out before the theft could be discovered.
OF course time came when the libra
riaDs were pretty well up to the dndges,
but the trouble and uupleasartness of at
tempting to prevent the uhefts made il ad-
visable to stop buying cook books for the
library.
