'One of the most laughable scenes ]

dies" said q well known theatrical
manager to tie writer the other day,
happened to the late Tom Keene
when he was performing in northern
New York town. The company was
playing Julius Caesar and at the
last moment II was found that the
property man had failed to send UP the
regular throne chair used in the SEN
ate scene and an old rustic chair was
hastily procured from the left OF the
thenter and. after being covered with
llraping. WIS pressed into service. In
the midst OF the scene large wasps
nest was discovered attached to the
chair, and its Inhabitants, becoming
indignant at the disturbance they had
suffered. began TO swarm about the
stage. seeking revenge upon the Ro.

sleeved dresses. The wasps seemed to
be particularly offended with CGsar,

the face was no longer the same. In

An Awe Stricken Witness.

81 well remember" said veteran
lawyer. '.the trial of a case In which
Judge Henry I. Backus was doing
cross examining. Now, the Judge was
noted for his lavish use of six footed
words. and he used frequently to
astound If not confuse an unprepared
witness with plethora of high sound
ing phrases. The case | speak of was
tried In Sault Ste. Marie, and there
was simple. inoffensive Frenchman
on the witness stand. He understood
little of the attorneys profound inter-
rogatories and gave his answers In n
confused and stammering way calcu-
lated to ruffle the sweetest temper.
Finally the attorney paused in the mid
die of his cross examination and OBJ
jected because the answers of the wit
ness were not responsive. He wasTad-
vised by the court to couch his ques-
lions In simpler language. Then Judge
Backus. pointing his finger at the meek
looking witness and looking him
straight In the eye. thundered:
"'Sir. | desire you to respond to my
interrogatories categorically and with

That's what the ticket agent at. the

BISHOP AGAINST BISHOP.
In Bishop Potter's TRADE against
prohibitionsists he speaks sof the gro
tesque hypocrisy Of the prohibition
system from Maine to Kansas" Over
against this n~tterance Of the New
York bishop Millspaueh, of Kansas:
sWhen l went to Kansas I felt salts
fed that there was no better way Of
handling the liquor traffic than by the
high-license system, but I am now quite
as we'll satisfied that I was mistaken. I
have changed my opinion of t%heprohibi-
ton law since I have seen its workings
and I regard 1t as very desirable. tits
especially so from my own spiritual
standpoint. For instance, Topeka is a
city of $1,000 inhabitants, SO that it is
quite a town. You can walk the whole
length of Kansas avenue, the principal
street of the city and not see a single
saloon on either side. What is the
effect of all this? The young 9 are
not tempted to go into the gilded helis
where sweet music and every allurment
are held open for them. There are no
temptations for the young, and there
is nothing to lead the man who does
not drink habitually, to take q drink,
just for the sake Of being sociable.
II find it easier to do missionary
work in Topeka than I found it in
Minneapolis or in Omaha (both under
$1,000 license for saloons). The young
men you approach are more inclined
to listen and give one a respect
full hearing. There are more men
in the church, both as members
and as mere attendants, in proportion
to the population. This means some-
thing and is to be credited largely to
the effects ofthe temperance legislation
