Very Inquisitive.

The late, MI. T. E. Pritt, in his
book, An Anglers Basket tells
that an ancient boatman of Kinross,
whose acquaintance he made on
Loeb Leven many years ago, had
been privileged in his young days
to row Sir Walter Scott about the
lake and round the castle island dur
ing the time he was gathering ma
terial for 1.-The Abbot" In reply to
Mr. Pritt's question as to what Sir
Walter was like, the boatman an
swered with unconscious truth and
humor that he was a "varra in

about upsetting q couple Of bucl;

paste and getting all covered with
it and then sitting down in Il corner
seat in the next room to scrape the
paste off my shoes and finding when
l got up that l had sofa cushions
stuck to me all overl Well, that
makes me think of another sticky
experience I had once that was
somewhat different from that.
You always look over IA bureau
and through the bureau drawers in
a room when you can. You are pref
ty sure to find something about a
bureau worth carrying off, but you
don't always. l set my lamp down
one night on top Of a bureau after
a preliminary survey over it with
out finding anything and then went
through the top drawer without
finding anything there, and then I
stepped back a little to get at the
next drawer easier, or rather I was
going to step back, but I couldn't. 1
was stuck fast, standing there in
front of the bureau. Icouldn't move
my feet any more'n if they'd been
strapped down to the floor with iron
straps.
Course my hands were free, and
l picked up my lamp and turned it
down on the floor. l found on the
floor in front of the bureau a board
about 4 feet long and maybe is or
20 inches wide, that I was standing
on. 1t was screwed down to the floor
at the four corners, and it was COW
cred all over thick with the stickiest
stuff l eve came across. What it
was I don't know, but the stickiest
glue that ever was would have been
like a mild dilution of weak muci-
lage compared to it. I just simply
couldn't move my feet at all. And
unfortunately, for some reason, /
hadn't worn my rubbers that night.
1t was my shoes that was stuck
down, and I'd got to get out of 'em.
OF course 1 could have unscrewed
the board from the floor-I had a
screwdriver right there in my bag
alongside of me-but what good
would that have done2 I'd have had
to take the board along with me,
and, hopping along with a board A
feet long and ~ feet wide fastened
to my feet, I'd have made as much
noise as dropping boards in a lum.
Der yard. There wasn't anything to
do but get out of my shoes, and /
bent over EN- carefully and unlaced
'em and then held on to the bureau
and stepped out Of 'em, one at a
time, on to the floor. You know, l
hated to leave them shoes there like
that, but there wasn't anything else
to do. I looked at 'em a minute and
then dropped my lamp in my ulster

pocket and picked up my pag-that
is, I tried to pick it up, but I might
just as well have tried to lift the
house. l realized then for the first
time that l had set the bag down on
the sticky board, and it was stuck
as tight as my shoes were.
well, that made me kind of mad.
I'd carried the old bag for years
and got used to it, and 1 hated to
lose it, especially like that. But
what could l do about it2 Nothing.
And then l almost fell over on the
board myself when Preached for the
bag and it didn't come, and I kind
of felt that it wasn't sensible to fool
around there too long. There wasn't
anybody awake, and I was just as
free to move about as ever, but /
couldn't help thinking that anybody
that would invent a scheme like
that might have something else on
foot anywhere around the house. So
I opened the bag and got the things
out of it and dropped 'em in my
pocket, and then I took one more
look at my shoes and the bag stand
ing there in Il sort of irregular row
in front of the bureau, and then l
left EN- and made a bee line out of
the house, carefully avoiding, as far
as I could, contact with anything on

LOS ANGELES Last
| night the Columbia comic opera COM
pany gave a repetition of Richard
StahPs Said Pasha," and It was in all
respects the best rendition of this con-
glomerate composition that the COM
pany has appeared in. The work is a
piece of musical nonsense and patch
work made up from other operas, but
cleverly put togetherand pieced out with
a lot of business for the two low cofiledi-
ans. who appear in all we'll regulated
comic operas. In this instance the COM
edians, Kunkel and Henderson. have
plenty to do, ard last night their fooling
was good, giving the necessary spice TO
the entertainment and keeping the audi
ence in high good humor. Rogers as the
Rajah was immense and secured recall
on his exit when he leaves the stage in
towering passion. Hun tington as the
Pas,ha finds the character fit him like a
glove, indeed it is the best thing he has
done, as yet, during this engagement.
Huntley and Davis sustain the inter-
est with their fine vocal abilities and it
is needless to say that the women of the
cast are captivating as usual. Miss
rena is as arch and mischief loving as
ever and sings the melodies with
charming sweetness ard ex-
preston all her own. OF her
appearance in boys clothes it is only
niece ssary to say that the people who
were foolish enough to stay away lost
the opportunity of gazing upon a picture
of aesthe tic loneliness which they would
have been unable to forget.
Miss. MacNein was in her element in
the Katisha-lke charaetero of the Rajah'.s
sister, and was made up with heroic dis
regard of her own good looks. The sing
ing of the chorus was excellent as usual.
A fine performance of La Mascotte''
was given in the afternoon to large
house. lisa ~
This evening Fra Diavole'' will be
prese with R. Dunbar in the title
role, his first appearance with this COM
pany. Eaa.
