WHY HE FAILED TO LAUGH.
Was Afraid He wOuld Miss Something II
He Did So.

While a small party of Clevelanders were
abroad last year they CHANGED TO be in an
English town of limited attractions, and
IL was suggested that all hands attend the
theater in the evening TO make up for the
disappointment of the day. Now, one of
the party is gentleman Of somewhat cir
cumscribed notions about the stage and
its mission, and jt was feared that he
might be little offended at the suggcs-
ton. But, no; he consented TO go with
great, apparent willingness, and the party
set forth.
The play Of the evening was one of those
hilarious adaptations from the French,
where staid householder of mature years
takes night off and makes the most of it
In an atmosphere of champagne and gen-
eral revelry. As the performance pro-
gressed and the fun grew faster and moro
furious the other members Of the party
looked at tho man with rigid views with
considerable solicitation. How would he
take it? Would he get up and go outp
Might he not even rise from his seat and
denounce the performance But, no; he
sat there quietly enough, his face fixed in
look of frozen intentions and his eyes
glaring through his spectacles at the spec
tacle beyond the footligbts. However else
ho might regard the performance, he GER
tainly wasn't amused. Not ghost of u
smile crossed his face. The others might
laugh and nudge each other, but he sat
stolidly through it all to the very fall Of
the curtain.
Wnen they were all going down the
stairs, one of the party had the temerity
To ask him how he liked the show, and all
tho Others waited with hated breath TO
hear his whitening denunciation.
why" he pleasantly answered, "it was
the funniest thing / ever saw in my life. +"
"B but" stammercd the astonished
questioner, "you didn't laugh You didn t
even smile"
NO." answered the other, 81 didn d
laugh because 1 was afraid L might lose
some of it,
And the laughter that followed that
sally was far more enjoyable than any
thing the play brought forth.-Cleyeland

comedian a few years ago won his way
into the hearts of ths public by his won
derfully clever impersonation "Gimesey
Me Boy" in Hoyt's "Bunch of Keys" COM
pany. In his own piece, the "Cellar Door,"
he has proved how great a hold he still
retains. In it he has part admirably
suited TO his peculiar talents and giving
him a chance to shine even more brightly
than In his former success. Fun, pure and
wholesome, is the style OF his clever work.
Mr.. Mackie is not comedian who stoops
to conquer. His smiling countenance is
inimitably funny, and the control he pos
sesses over his facial muscles is something
wonderful. You must laugh at his merry
capers in spite OF yourself. "Billy Grimes"
will come through the ''Cellar Door" to
disperse your blues, and dance and sing
them all away as only "Billy Grimes" can
do. His company is clever one, first
class in every respect. The singing and
dancing specialties are the most popular OF
the day and are thickly strewn throughout
the piece. Go and see Billy smile.
The piece will run the remainder of the
week.

A Church story.

Not very many years ago, in n country
church in the west Of England, the rector,
preaching with great earnestness for home
missions, took for his text, Feed me with
food convenient for mo-" AS no came
down from tho pulpit, well content with
the effect his cloquencc had produced on
tho congregation, tho disturbing thought
struck him that he had made no arrange
mcnt for the collection (surc to be liberal
one on this occasion). AS he passed through
the chancel he whispered hurriedly to an
intelligent choirboy, go into the vestry,
take the plate you will find on the table,
hand it round 20 the congregation, and
then bring IL to me-" The boy departed
ON bis GRAND, and the rector took his place
within the communion rails and gave out
the ofrcrtory hymn.
The last words of this had scarcely died
away when the boy stood before him, q
plate or biscuits In his hand, and an apol-
ogetso expression on his chubby face.
Please. sir, |" he explained in an audible
voice, I've handed them all round 10 ev-
esybody. and nobody won't take none!''--

At the Portals Of the Unknown.

On one occasion only has any really seri-
GUS attempt been made TO explore and in
vestigate the regions situated to the south
of the Antarctic circle and that attempt
incredible as it may appear, was made
more than so years ago.
Nothing OF importance has been under
taken since. Even tho portals OF this un-
known area can hardly be said to have
been approached during that time. Half
century Is long period, especially in
this enterprising and adventurous age,
when the ever restless and enthusiastic
energies of the pioneers Of civilization are
leaving their indelible footprints over por-
tions Of the globe that so years ago were
deemed almost inaccessible, for one par
ticular part of the world to remain wrapped
in the samo impenetrable darkness that
has surrounded 10 from time immemorial
Now, however, the time has arrived
when the question of polar research in
both hemispheres should be equally con-
sidered. There is still much to be done Ia
the north, and SO long as gallant explorers,
like Nansen, jackson and Peary continue
TO devote their energies I'm that direction,
we shall not rest satisfied until the entire
area Of nearly u million and half square
miles has been faithfully delineatcd on
our maps But IL Is an indisputable fact
that there Is much more than this to be
done In the south, for there 10 more than
seven times that extent Of undiscovered
area to be explored. and although the Ant
arctic circle has been pierced in two or
three places, our geographical knowledge
Of that region Is not only extremely lin
ited, but may BIC regarded rs purely con-
jectural. In the Antarctic we have abso.
lutely everything 10 learn.-Admiral A.
II. Markham, X. N, in North American

noon the matter of the extradition OF 10.
seph f.. Kelley for the murder of JOSEPH

Kelley was taken before Deputy Ex-
tradition Commissioner l.. w. Scots.
and upon HIS freely consenting to return
with the officers, the commissioner signed
the necessary warrants. Chief Detective

A new feature in the case has de-

this was SO effectual n disguise that
Stickney did not know him. These. he

For mud stills and in situations where
