An Acto,rs CoOIness.

An actor who WIS playing Claude
Melnotte lost his memory to such an
extent in the scene where he makes love
to Pauline and describes the imaginary
villa by the lake of Como that the
prompter was obliged to come to his re-
lief and -ecite the whole passage in a
loud voice.
Claude, however, was cool enough to
do his part by saying, "Tell me, dear
est, you like the misunderstanding to
the prompter-''which this gentleman
has been kind enough to submit to your
consideration?"-Nu

Blind Devotion.

The blind devotion with which an
old servant did his duty was illustrated
on one occasion when his master had a
dinner party. During the dinner Henry
was very nervous and made two or
three blunders
His master showed his annoyance
and cast angry glances at his servant,
but the poor man could not settle quiet
ly to his work.
At last, when the dessert had been
placed quietly on the table, he stole
timidly behind his masters chair and
said:
"Please, sir, can you spare me now?
Ny house has been on fire for the lass
hour and halfH" London Answers.

this afternoon between two country
men, who proceeded to give pub
lie exhibition of their prowees at
disfguring the physiognOmy of the
other; third thought he was in
terested or should be in the scrap,
consequently the trio, John Esliek,
G. w. McAdoo, and w. G. Eslick
found themselves in the presence
of the best mayor of the best town
OF the Indian Territory who fined
each of them So 80 and costs, which
they all paid.
Alf Drew was salso up before
Mayor Gait, charged with disturb
ing the peace. He was fined $1.00
and the trimmings.
A few more hilarious individuals
paid fines for minor offenses and
went their way, some with sore
heads and heavy hearts.

Not all of the descendants of the IA
nous Americans anxious to win mill
tary glory in the war with Spain have
sought soft positions and used all the
social and political influence of their
friends to get some nice military berth
that would carry with it a title and
some little authority, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Young Large of Phi
ladelphia, the grandson OF General
Meade, is serving as a private in a bat
terry of artillery. Private Charles b.
Ramsey of Company \, Fifth regi-
ment, now at Chickamauga, has been
acting as orderly for Brigadier Gener-
al Grant Private Ramsey's great
grandfather was David Ramsey, the
historian, who presided over Congress
during the Revolutionary war. His
great-grand-unce was colonel in
the Maryland line, and is still spoken
of as the hero of Monmouth" One
of his forefathers was John Wither-
spoon, a signer of the Declaration of
Independence. His father. Colonel A.
Ashton Ramsey, was engineer in
charge of the construction of the Mer-
rimac, and participated in the fight
with the Monitor. But Private RAM
sey,. like Private Large, is not asking
for any favors. Both are fighting
