Mrs. siddons Got Her Beer.

Mrs. Siddons one hot evening was play
ing Macbeth and was tempted by ter
turing thirst to avail herself of the only
relief to be obtained at the moment-some
beer. from a neighboring tavern. Her
dresser, therefore, dispatched a boy In
great haste to fetch pint of beer for
Mrs. Siddons." On the boys return with
the frothy pitcher he looked about for the
woman who had sent him on his errand.
and not seeing her, inquired: Where is
Mrs. Slddons?' The scene shifter, whom
he questioned. pointed his finger to the
stage where she was performing the
sleeping scene of Lady Macbeth, replied.
There she is" To the horror of the per-
formers the boy promptly walked onto the
stage close up to Mrs. Siddons, and with a
total Inconsistencies of any improperly
gave the beer to her. She waved the boy
away in her grand manner several times
without effect. At last the people behind
the scene by reckoning and stamping sue
ceeded in getting him off with the beer,
while the audience roared with laughter

LOSER SETS UP A ROAR.
Card Player Anxious to Play Howls
When He Is Beateu


After the conclusion of the nights play
he made an awful roar. He is one of thos,
men who has an abiding faith in his skill
at cards, but in the performance his faith
is not always Justified. But, like all men
OF his class, he attributes lack Of success
not to the acumen of his opponents, hut
to bad run of the pasteboards He always
wants to sit In a game, but is bad loser.
of course.
The other day couple of FOUNDERS who
know his little weakness went to the place
where he works during the night and began
game of cribbage with a drink as the
stakes. They played for some time with
varying fortune, all the time trying to in
vefgle the old fellowto take a hand This
was finally accomplished and the night man
and friend whose assets we're not imme
diately available sat in against the original
duo.
Then the fun commenced. The two knew
each others game to perfection, fact
more desirable In cribbage than In most
games. They also had clear notions con-
corning the style OF play of both opponents.
so they were willing to give a few points
In counting to peg on their rivals The
scheme was a brilliant success. The two
young men never lost a game during nearly
q whole nights play. The black bottle
steadily fen under the fire of the antagon-
lists until as dawn began TO show the ar
rival of new day 1t was empty.
The old fellow had collected measly
quarter for his share of the proceeds and
was out something over quart. He roared
like pig when the game ended, but the
plan of the two men had worked all right
and they made II worse by telling him how
they had fooled him. He swears he Will
never play again.-Chicago Chronicle.

GREAT PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.
Twenty Years show = Remarkable
Growth Down In Dixie.

The Industrial progress Of the South
during the past twenty years Is shown IN
the current issue of the Manufacturers
Record. from which 1t appears that the
low price Of cotton has had the effect of
stimulating the output of other farm
products. In the past ten years the pro-
duction of wheat has increased 81 per
cent. in the South, and the number OF
hogs raised there has during that period
nearly doubled. Seventy-two varieties OF
field crops are now grown wnere tnere
formerly was nothing but cotton, and six
ty-five varieties of vegetables. fruits ana
melons are raised in the South for mar
kets In the North. While five, years ago
the cotton mills In the South consumed
but 10000 bales Of cotton, their consump-
ton amounts now to nearly 900 bales
In the $50 mills, with .oS2 spindlss and
1O4, 446 looms. The number of mills has
increased 206, that Of spindles and looms
$40 per cent.
The finest blankets made in the country
are now manufactured In North Carolina,
where 104 wooden mills are in operation.
The finest grade of wool can be grown In
the South almost as cheaply as cotton.
Two decades ago the South produced an
nualiy but 100000 tons OF bituminous
coal; that product has now passed the
100000 900 mark, and of the 1900 square
miles of coal fields In the South only
about 1000 are under development While
two decades ago less than 100000 tons OF
iron were produced, that production has
now grown to 100000 tons of very SUI
perior article. And the iron industry in
the South Is as yet In its infancy. There
are enormous iron ore deposits in differ
ent parts of that section of the country
which have thus far not been touched at
all. This is but short summary of the
progress made in the South during the
past twenty years. but 1t suffices to indi-
cate the possibilities of that part OF the
country and what is in store for 1t in the
future. since it Is no longed limited to cot
ton. s.-t 4f~

to Mr.. Payne. made q confession, and
asked him to insist upon another ballot,
whereupon Mr.. Payne suggested that in
stead of passing the hat around among
the members, who were scattered Snd
constantly moving about the rooms, the
roll be called, and every man step up and
deposit his ballot on the table. This was
done, and the. result was that Philadel-
