A REALISTIC ACT.
An Amusing Story of Jefferson M
Rip. Van Wrinkle.

-
Rip. Van Wrinkle.
While he was playing Rip Van
Wrinkle at Chicago Jefferson once
went to the theater very much exhaust
ed by long days fishing on the lake
AS the curtain rose OH the third act it
disclosed the white haired Rip still deep
in his 20 years nap. Five, 10, 20 min
utes passed and he did not awaken. The
audience began to get impatient and
tho prompter uneasy.
The great actor doubtless knew what
he was about, but this was carrying the
realistic business too far. The fact was
that all this time jefferson was really
sleeping the sleep of the just. or rather
of tho fisherman who had sat eight
hours in the sun Finally the gallery
became uproarious, and one of the
"gods" wanted to know if there was
going to be 40 years more of this
snooZe businessP'
At this point jefferson began to
snore. This decided the promptcr, who
opened a small trap beneath the stage
and began to prod Rip from below The
tagged comedian fumbled in his pocket
for an imaginary railway ticket and
muttered drowsily. Going right
through, ductor y
AT this entirely new reading rho au-
dience was transfixed with ainazement,
when all at once jefferson sat up with
loud shrek, evidently in agony. This
exasperated prompter had 'jabbed
him with pin. Consciousness of the
situation came to him and the play
went on after that with rush. -Phila-
delphia Post.

what is a signaturee

When Constable was requested TO put
bis signature to one Of his pictures, be
answered, why, my dear sir. it is
signed all over /" Let the preacher pre-
serve his personality, and his sermon
also will be "signed all over" A mum
Der of Thackeray's pen and ink sketches
were sold not long since in London
and, although they bore no monogram
or signature, no one disputed their gen
uineness. A true preacher also cannot
be hid.
That which John had seen and with
his own hands handled Of the word OF
life could never be to any other person
just what it was to him. A preacher
who puts himself into his sermon is as
readily detected in his sermon as any
where else Even his apprehension OF
truth, his way of looking at it, his fash
ion of delivering it, is all his own Let
usrepeat it. His sermon will be signed
all over" ~Ho.niletic Review

gate. when young Brown left the girl
and made his escape

shortly afterwards in company with her
brother she mounted a horse and
started for home. At a lonely locality
on tho bench they were again stopped
by young Brown and a companion, said
to be George Wanlass. They dragged
the girl Off tie horse but her brother
made his escape and rode as rapidly as
possible to the nearest house for help.
In the meantime the young mscreants
threw the girl to the ground, tore most
Of her clothes from her and seriously
bruised and injured her in their vain
Her strength was not equal TO that OF
her assailants and just rs she became SD
weak, that no longer being able to de-
iend herself, she was about to succumb
to their repeated attempts, aid sum

assalauts fled. These facts are as the
girl stated them, she also claiming that
