Washington Young Man Goes Home and
Makes Himself Out a Hero.

young Washingtoniau, recently re-
turned from Chicago, tells good story,
which should properly go under the
heading: Important if True" says the
Washington Post. According to his
account the young man was going
home late one night and when cross
ing the Clark street bridge was accosted
by beggar. On being refused aims
the mendicant suddenly developed into
a highwayman, and, putting a pistol
under the young mans nose, compelled
him to shell out all his persona posses
sions. Then the highwayman made a
bad break, for, laughing at the fright
ened victim, he said:
'Why, you're dead easy. Dis pop
amt loaded-it's only bluff"
Whereupon the young Washingtonian
whipped out revolver that was loaded,
and, with dire threats of shooting the
highwaymans head off, compelled him
TO give back all the plumber.
II made sixty-nine cents by the OPP
Grafton" says the self-confessed hero,
in telling the story, land put it in the

The other morning, says letter from
Algiers, an English lady who desired to
take the portrait of ragged, but pie
turesque" Moor, whom she met on the
street, got him in position, but found
on examination that she had neglected
TO bring an important part of her
kodak. So she ran back TO the hotel,
two blocks away. She there met some
dear friends from London who had
just arrived; so she forgot all about the
Moor and the kodak. After dinner,
eight o'clock, she remembered, so, with
an escort, she hurried to the spot.
There the old Moor sat, just as she had
left him, facing the instrument. Long
time take picture" he said. He had
been there since ten o'clock a. m. of
that day, but the business of sitting
still suited him

AN ACTORS AFFLIcrIoN.
A Announced It Caused the Manager
Sore Distress


In the early "stock" days of Wash
ington, before the starring system was
in vogue, II often happened that some
bibulous member of the company
sought surcease of sorrow in the flow
ing bowl, says the Washington Post.
Salaries had not reached that fabulous
outline which now prevails, and the
ghost did not always walk, and there
fore. there was always more or less
sorrow to be appeased in the popular
tap rooms about town where the PRO
fession" congregated. II happened on
one occasion that a too liberal indul-
gence had rendered hors de combat one
of the leading members of the COM
pany, who is still a prominent and pop
ular actor to-day. 1t was not the first
time that he had been discovered in a
helpless condition just as the curtain
was about to go up, but he was cast for
leading part on this particular night,
and there was great excitement on the
stage. 1t was decided to substitute
another bill, and the question now
turned on the nature of the explana-
ton TO be made to the waiting audi
ence.
Announce that Mr.. Brown has had
a sudden attack of cholera morbus or
bowel complaint" said the distressed
manager of the theater to the stage
manager.
This worthy was a heavy-voiced in
dividual with a strong Dublin accent
and a Celtic temperament which in
clined to the humorous. He made his
way before the curtain, bowed, and in
his deep, rolling voice addressed the
audience as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: l regret to
announce that the management is
obliged to change the bill tonight,
owing to Mr.. Brown, who has had
severe attack of bowl complaint"
The audience caught the spirit of the
joke, and, amid general laughter, set
tied down to the enjoyment of the per-
fOrmance.

CHAMPAGNE CORKS.
They Are Cut by Hand and Are Very FIX
pensive.

pensive.
when you pull champagne cork
the anticipation of the sparkling bever-
age gives you but little time to consider
just how important the cork is, said a
prominent cork manufacturer, accord
ing TO the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
"A champagne cork is the most ex-
pensive made. You will probably be
surprised when tell you they cost
from seven TO ten cents each. To keep
champagne in good condition the cork
must be as near perfect as possible. So
it is that they are cut by hand from the
best quality of Catalonia wood.
THE utmost care is taken in the Sc
lection of the wood, and even after the
corl1s are cut another sorting process
is gone through. Then, by a chemical
process, the corks are tested TO see if
they can be relied upon TO do the par
ticular work of tightly fastening cham
payne bottles. The manufacturer
must learn for certainty whether the
corks are perfect or not before they are
permitted to be put upon the market.
OF course, you ind some bad corks in
champagne bottles, but their defects
are either passed over through careless
ness or develop after the bottle is corked.
You will appreciate that seven or ten
cents is not such an eXorbitant figure
as it would seem. There are very few
champagne corks made in America.
The corks could be made here just as
well as in Europe, but at much less
profit"
