HAD A TENDER HEART.
An Incident of Lord Lawrence's Sea

Lord Lawrence. viceroy of India,
was a blunt man Of action, impatient

great. he had a heart as tender as a
woman's. The night on which he
started from London to govern India
he gathered all his family In the draw

favorite hymn to him. His youngest
son, 10 years old. nestled in his IA

burst into tears.

Slips OF Theatrical People.

Franklin Fyles recalls some amusing
first-night experiences IN his article on
1.-THE Theater and Its People, In the
Ladies' Home Journal. One he relates
Is of Laura Don, now dead:
"She had the role of an Egyptian
princess in Fresh, the American 1t was
Intended that she should be seriously
and sentimentally impressive, while the
late John T. Raymond, the star of the
company, should be contrastingly com.
ical as the lover. But the audience
would not have II so. Nor was 1t any.
thing In Miss Don's appearance, for she
was beautiful nor In her acting, for II
was clever, that made the people laugh
1t came of q miscalculation by the au.
thor. The quick-witted woman, seeing
that she could not control the audience
resolved to humor 1t. By an exaggera
ton of speech and manner she turned
the part into burlesque, and 1t was al
ways after acted In that way"
Mr.. Fyles also tells that 'in 'Cleopa
tra,' as produced by the late Fanny
Davenport, general should have giyer
to his queen an impetuous account of q
battle which he had won. But he stood
wordless, silent, stuck fast. You have
come to tell me- Miss Davenport said
and then went on with the narrativ,
which he should have spoken"

On the Welsh border 1t used to be
considered that the surest precaution
against witchcraft was TO wear the
left stocking wrong side out. This
leads US to another kind of superstition
connected with the harmless. necessary
hose-their value, when properly worn
or arranged, as charms or as protec-
lions against sickness or pain. II you
will only take the trouble when you go
to bed to cross your stockings and
shoes, you will be quite safe from the
grip of cramp. Again. IL you hang
your stockings crosswise at the foot of
the bed. with a pin stuck in them, you
need have no fear Of nightmare; the
bag has holy horror of cross and pin.
Wiseacres have also been heard to de-
clare that IL you will always put your
left stocking and shoe on first you Will
enjoy immunity from toothache. This.
however, the most superstitlous of NOR
tails will likely take leave to doubt.
Toothache, that hell of a. diseases"
as Burns calls II, is no respecter of per-
sons nor assuredly Of stockings or legs.

When Mr.. Munkittrlck had arrived,
1t was suddenly discovered that the

was to telephone to the printer and

Then the staff sat and held Their
