Turned the Tables.

WHEN Otis skinner, the actor, played an en-
w gagement in this city recently, says the
Nashville Banner, his matinee performance Of
'.The Liars" was sraced by the patronage Of a
bevy OF the seasons most attractive debntantes,
who enjoyed the stage business immensely and
pronounced Mr.. Skinner too lovely for any
thing. After the curtain went down the man
ager escorted the debutantes back on the stage,
where they met and conversed with the actor.
'We enjoyed everything very much. SAID one
fair lady, "but, do you know, Mr.. skinner, we
could scarcely hear word you saidE'
Snow, that's certainly strange" responded the
uctor. II could hear everything you iauies
said"

The Desire Was Mutual.

r HE ONLY marital difficulty that Victor Her.
bert, the composer and director, and Mrs.
Herbert ever had occurred, according to Mrs.
Herbert, during their honeymoon, while cross.
ing the Atlantic relates the Saturday Evening
Post. 1t was brought about by seasickness. Tie
composer was sick, and Mrs. Herbert was also
ILL., Their illness took the form of intense ir-
rtablity and morbid scnsitiveness. Each move.
ment of the ship produced groan from them.
and each noise board the vessel an indignant
protest. They tried to sympathize with each
other, but their voices lacked sincerity.
At the end OF the third day the composer,
after recovering from a. lurch OF the vessel, said:
"Dcar, have one favor to ask. Don't speak
to me again on board this ship until we reach
Shore or will throw myself overboard.'
my dear" answered Mrs. Herbert, with her
first sigh Of relief since embarking, "thank you;
I've been wanting to ask you that same favor
myself all day."

EUGENE FIELD.

With the gentlost tears, no less than Jubilee
Of blithest Joy, We heard him, and still hear
Him sing on. with full voice, pure and clear
Uplifting, as some classic melody
In sweetest legends Of old minstrelsy;
Or swarming cl6plike upon the ear,
Ills airy notes make all the atmosphere
One blur OF bird and bee and lullaby
His tribute:--Luster in the faded bloom
OF cheeks Of old, old mothers, and the fall
OF gracious dews in eyes long dry and dim;
And hope In lovers pathways midst perfume
OF woodland haunts, and-meed exceeding all
The love OF little children laurels him.

Where snow had driftcd DER the land.
A babe was lying on her breast.
Its fragile form
Against herself she fondly pressed
To keep it warm.

Her look was grim,
And, suffering Joshua! how she
Was warming him!

A Cure for Lobby Evils.

HE oNCoMlNG OF the time
when at many state capi-
Il tails lobbyists even more
than legislators will control
legislation renews attention to meth
DDS of controlling the lobby and hold
ing it down to it's proper place. Ex-
pert counsel for special interests eX-
posed to harm through careless or ma
licious statutory enactments are
necessary and in the main beneficial
feature of state capitals; the danger
lies in the abuse of fair privileges.
Discussion of this subjectby eminent
men has revealed no better starting
point toward halting crooked lobbyists
than the law enacted ten years ago in
Massachusetts and still in advantage
Gus operation. Briefly, it requires the
rgeant-at-arms to- keep two dockets.
In one must be entered the names of
counsel employed to appear before
committees as we'll as of those who
make q speciality Of certain branches
of legislation; in the other, the names
of the agents employed for any gen.
eral purpose in promoting or opposing
legislation; and in both must be given
the names and addresses Of employers
and employed, the date and term and
character of the employment, and 9TH
er important particulars. If person
combines the work of counsel with
that of agent, he must advertise the
fact by appearing in both dockets.
Counsel and agents must file, in con-
nection with the entry of their names
in the dockets, credentials for their
authority, signed with the full names
and business addresses of their EN-
ployers. Punishment for wrongdoing
by any counsel or agent involves dis
barment for at least three years. to-
gether with a fine of from 800 to
$1,000; and any employer who fails to
meet any of the provisions of the law,
including sworn statement of the
expenses incurred by him in promoting
or opposing legislation, is subject IN a
similar fine.
This law, of course, Is open to eva
sion but by affording an open sign of
legal approval to agents of legitimate
interests disposed to employ straight
forward means it has done mucn to
elbow the crooks and boodlers out of
the way. Competent testimony holds |
that it has improved the tone of Bay
state legislation and cleansed the at
surrounding the capital. 1t
ought to be tried elsewhere.
