HOW ANTHONY HOPE-READS.
The Noted Novelist Doesn't Do His Best
Hero Justice.

The Noted Novelist Doesn't Do His Best
Hero Justice.
When Anthony Hope ended his first
reading in America, in Brooklyn, the
other night, he had created one mild
sensation he evidently did not count on.
1t came when he began to read a chap
ter from his most famous romance,
"The Prisoner of Zenda." A distinct
gasp of establishment and mild disap-
prevail went up toward the chandelier
overhead when he called his heroine,
not "Flah-via, F" as we are wont to pro-
nounce it, but "Flayia, with the long a.
There was scarcely one Of his auditors
on that occasion who escaped two sensa-
tions. The first was on his entrance
from the doorway in the rear of the
stage when he came forward toward the
table in the center holding four volumes
in his hand. He walked as if he was en-
tering drawing room where some one
was playing soft music and not at all as
if he was about to make first impress
sion on the readers Of nation of TO-
900, 600 people.
The mterviewers had given the i'm
preston that Anthony Hope resembled
his most lovable young hero. But it
was middle aged, sharp featured man
upon whom their eyes rested, with only
his British clothes to mark him for an
Englishman.
While the chairman was making a
little speech of introduction the author
reader sat with his legs crossed, holding
his chin in the palm of his hand and
smoothing his cheek with q slender
forefnger. surveying his first American
audience with delightfully."- disinter-
ested air He was attired in convention
al evening dress, with the familiar
square cut open collar, and wore a
brilliant red carnation i'll the lapel Of
his coat.
If his audience had any misgivings
as to his ability to please them, they
vanished at the first sound of his voice
clear, soft and with the quality that
carries. His are not the methods Of the
professional elocutionist. He rarely ges-
ticulates, usually standing either with
arm behind his back or with his right
forearm resting on the upper edge OF
the reading desk, grasping it with his
right hand Toward the end Of the read
ing he rested his volume on the upper
edge of the desk, as if to see more clearly.
The stronger emotions Of the final
leave taking between Rudolf Rassendyl
and the Princess Flavia affected him,
and he knew it, for he read the chap
ter eff Love Were All" in dull mono
tone that gave every evidence of self re-
preston.
This was the only note of disappoint-
ment. And it was summed up by girl
in the audience, who declared audibly
that "Sothern ought to give him per-
Torrance of The Prisoner of Zenda,
so he might hear him do that scene.
He was at his best in the crisp humor
of the Dolly Dialogues. And, after all,
he was Anthony Hope reading Anthony

Fro., 2 Century Old.

A strange story of a frog is told us by
one who is acquainted with the facts.
On the old Richie place, which
abounds with relics of early days, is an
old log springhouse, built at the begin
ming of the century by John Richie,
the inventor of the sour mash process Of
making whisky. A never failing stream
of ice cold water flows into this old
house, forming pool several feet deep.
Here since John Richie left Lynns Fort
and built himself an independent dwell
ing it is alleged giant bullfrog has
had its home. AS the frog family is en-
lowed with great longevity, it is said
by those who ought to know that it is
reasonable to believe that the frog is
the same one which took up its resi-
dence in the Richie springhouse i'll pio-
neer times. What lends color to this
theory is the fact that there has never
been but one frog seen in the neighbor-
hood of the old spring, and Mr.. Stephen
Richie, now a man we'll advanced in
years, states that this same frog, or one
very similar to it, had its home in the
spring when he was child and that he
has often heard his grandmother term
the frog her rain sign The frog is said
to be of vast proportions, with thun-
derous voice that can be heard great
distance. 1t is very active and shows no
evidence of its century or more of years.

II the Blue Paper.
Lad, Holland, in her memoir Of her
father, Sydney Smith, gives an amusing
story. 1t happened nearly so years ago,
but it has not yet lost its point.
"Have you never observed what
dislike servants have to anything cheap?
They hate saving their masters money.
I tried this experiment with great sue
cess the other day. Finding we con-
sumed a gre5- deal Of soap, | sat down
in my thinkin,. chair and took the soap
question into consideration, and 1 found
reason to suspect that we were using
very expensive article when much
cheaper one would serve the purpose
better. 7 ordered half dozen pounds OF
both sorts, but took precaution Of chang
ing the papers on which the prices were
marked before giving them into tho
hands of Betty.
well, Betty, which soap do you
find washes best?' 'Oh, please, sir, the
dearest, in the blue paper. 1t makes
lather as we'll again as the other.
We'll, Betty, you shall always have it,
then. And thus the unsuspecting Betty
saved me some pounds year and
washed the clothes better. F"

The AIlia.

The Allia, where Brennus and the
Gauls defeated the Romans, is a small
creek flowing into the Tiber, not far
from Rome The defeat of the Romans
led to the capture and sacking of the
city, and so much damage was done by
the invaders that July l6, the day Of
the battle, was ever afterward consider
ed in Roman annals al unluclly date,
and no public or private business was
transacted Oh that day.

In many parts of "the land of

brave" AT this time of the year
building operations are suspend
ed, and every man has his eye
on the coal dealer while watch
ing the water pipes showing a
tendency to freeze up. In Homo,
lulu where spring is four sea-
sons in the year, carpenters may
work inside or out.
The unusual operations of the
past year have had depressing
effect upon edge tools, for like
everything else-they give way
with too constant use We have,
in view of the prospective de-
mand, made big buy of the
finest grade of tools obtainable
in eastern markets; they are
what carpenters and machinists
need all the time and when buy

lasts longest and obviate the
necessity Of "breaking in."
