waving gag that has resulted in lot
of good bunting being whipped into
shredS in a. cheap endeavOr to arouse
patriots in the theatres. AT this par
ticular performance Miss Nielsen, &C
~cording to her own statement OF the
affair, came on the stage, wearing sllk
flag tucked in her corsage- So had all
the chorus girls, and the act was to be
closed with THE Star Spangled Ban

Nielsen with the flag, and ordered her
to remove it, at the same time calllne
her a fool, so she says. The prlma
donna obeyed, but later, when jessie
Bartlett Davis came on in the same act,
she carried flag at her side, and, not
to be outdone by the latter, Miss Mel
sen again placed the flag in her cor
sage. Mr. Barnabee is reported to have
become angered at this, and, walking
to the flies, secured an immense flag.
He returned to the stage, and, stand
ing directly in front of Miss Nielsen,
waved it about and struck her in the
face several times with it. The Drima
donna said this was too much, and. SO
she quit the company forthwith. Mr..
Barnabee says he did not intend to in

Chauncey Olcott tells funny barber
story, of which he and another man
were the principals. Mr.. Olcott was
travelling through Ireland, and found
himself in a small village without ra-
zors. They had been packed in his hand
bag, which he had left at the hotel,
where he spent the previous night.
There was no barber shop in the place,
and the good-lool5ing comedian needed
a. shave, and was in a quandary as TO
how he might get it. The innkeeDer
told him that there was a man in the
village who occasionally shaved people,
and Olcott determined to risk cut
or two, and sent for him. The amateur
barber arrived with his razor, and,
after a little hesitation, said:
would you mind lying fiat on your
back, Mr.. Olcot, while l shave your"
Thinking that it was the custom of
the country, Olcott stretched himself
comfortably on the bed, and the ton
serial artist went to work, touching his
client so lightly that the~latter fell
asleep over the operation. When he had
finished the job, Olcott arose and said:
81 am curious to know why you asked
me to lie down to be shaved?"
Because, sir, 1 never before shaved a
live man." was the reply.
