Rebelious Susan had said good night,

and is sure TO win applause OF course he
is very clever, but even man of less
ability could not avoid carrying off hon
ors in that part. Everything he does car
ries with 1t the approval of the audience.
That is due not nearly SO much to the way
in which he docs it as to the action itself
He is the man who is constantly interior
ing to prevent others from making mis-
takes, and his success makes him the hero
of the audience.
"Such part almost plays itself All
that the actor has to do is to be calm

Dean Swift's Dinner.

A characteristic story is told of Dean
Swift, who, after series of expensive en-
tertainments in London, invited six of his
hosts to dinner. They arrived, expecting
tho usual costly surfeit of good things.
They found the table laid with piece of
bread, bottle Of wine. plate at each
cover and n waiter behind each chair.
They.took their places. ..
Mr. Dean" said the lord chancellor,
we fail to see the joke"
Swift lifted his plato. Underneath was
the bill of fare of a neighboring cafe and
a half crown. He turned to the waiter at
his side and gave him the money.
Here" " he said, bring me the worth Of
that in goose and potatoes"
The guests each sent the money under
his plate for whatever dish he chose, and
the dinner was eaten and enjoyed.
Swift then laid upon the table 9100,
and deducting the three crowns which had
been spent, said The remainder-the
crumbs and fragments-are to go to the
poor We all have had enough money to
satisfy hunger. You shall advise me how
the rest is TO be spent. Youths Com

ALL KINDS OF QUEER PETS.
Frogs, owls ard COckrOaches Trained by
Maryland Scientist.

Frogs, owls ard COckrOaches Trained by
a Maryland Scientist.
Harry c. Hopkins, ono of the youngest
members Of the Maryland Academy of
Science, has special fondness for ami
mails. Among his earliest pets were three
frogs, which he raised from tadpoles.
They became so tame that they would rec
ognizc his voice and hop eagerly to him
whenever they heard him speak. His next
pets were five screCch owls, which he kept
in the garnet of his home. One of the
owls, which lis called Bob, became SO ac-
customed to his voice that it would screech
back reply when he called and would
haste to join Mr.. Hopkins in the lower
rooms of the house.
Mr. Hopkins had at other times rae
coons, opossnms, foxes, white mice and
white rats for pets The latest pet in his
collection was the most unique of them
all and was perhaps the only pet of the
kind ever heard Of 1t was roach-an
ordinary brown roach-that ran out of his
desk one day and took sip from drop
of ink that had fallen on the desk Mr..
Hopkins let the littlo creature indulge it
self undisturbed and one day induced it
to take sip from the point Of his pen.
After that to tamo the roach was an easy
matter, and he soon had it so tame that 1t
would come from its hiding place when
called and would follow the pen over the
paper while Mr.. Hopkins wrote.
Mr.. Hopkins did not enjoy the society
of his littlo pet long. a now servant, with
a mania for cleaning up and antipathy
to reaches, saw the pet on the desk one
day and killed it Baltimore Sun.
