While playing waiting for the Verdict
one night in Cleveland We had small mis-
hap. There was canine part in the play,
and we had borrowed for the part a To-
cally famous firemen's dog, Nose. He al
ways carried lantern in his mouth at
night fires, and il was very funny to hear
the queer sounds he made in his efforts to
give forth his joyous bark and at the same
time hang on to his lantern. He was big.
handsome white-and-liver-colored animal,
and he looked remarkably well lying

The whole city knew him, and he always
had special round of applause. The en-
fine house was almost opposite the theater,

The Queen aud Jenny Lind.

There is a pretty story told of Queen
Victoria and Jenny Lind, which shows how
the modesty OF two women, the Queen Of
England and the queen of song, caused
momentary awkwardness which the gentle
tact Of the singer overcame.
1t was on night when Jenny Lind was
- sing at Her Majesty's Opera House that
the queen made her first public appearance
after the memorable Chartist day.
For the great artistic. too, this was a first
appearance, for it was the beginning of
her season at a place where, the year be-
fore, she had won unparalleled fame. It
happened that the queen entered the royal
box at the same moment that the prima
d dCnno stepped upon the stage. Instantly
tUmult Of acclamation burst forth.
Jenny Lind modestly retired to the back
OF the stage. waiting till the demonstra-
ton OF loyalty to the sovereign should sub
side. The queen. refusing TO appropriate
to herself that which she imagined to be
! intended for the artistic, made no ackuowl-
edgment.
At length, when the situation became en-
barraSsing, Jenny Lind, with ready tact
ran forward to the footlights and sang
God Save the Queen" which was caught
up at the end Of the solo by the orchestra,
chorus and audience. The queen then came
10 the front Of her box and bowed, and the
opera was resumed.

PREPARES MEMORIALS.
How One Woman Makes a Good In
come.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Il know a little woman In st. Louis"
said an artist of this city. who has grad
ually drifted into very curious vocation.
Briefly told, she earns living by engross-
ing resolutions of respect for the dead. 1
confess that calls for little explanation.
continued the speaker, smiling, but really
mean exactly what / say. The lady Is
water-color artist with marked ability for
decorative work, and in connection with
teaching 1t at a school she used to make
good many designs for embroidery. ta-
pestry and so on. That gave her some lit
tie reputation, and about ten years ago a
local Masonic lodge that had lost its pre-
siding officer engaged her to reproduce its
official resolutions on Illuminated vellum as
a gift to the family. She did a beautiful
piece OF work and it attracted so much at
tention that 1t was not long before she re-
ceived another order Of much the same
character.
II have heard the story from her own
lips, and, / remember 1t, the second COM
mission came from large corporation that
had passed resolutions OF sympathy and
respect upon the death of its president. At
any rate, she was given carte blanche and
prepared magnificent scroll. which natur-
ally became another advertisement for the
speciality. After that orders gradually null
tipled until she was finally forced to give
up her classes and all other work and de-
vote herself solely to decorative engross-
!ngs Of the kind I have described. That
was six or seven years ago, and constant
practice along one narrow line has rendered
her extraordinarily skillful. l called upon
her when L was in ST. Louis last summer,
and she showed me a memorial volume
which she was preparing for the widow or
a prominent railroad man. 1t contained
copies of resolutions passed by secret So
cieties commercial bodies and the railroad
company itself, and the decorations remind
ed me strongly of the richly illuminated
missals OF the medieval monks. The book
was really a unique work of art. The little
decorator told me that she gets her orders
from all parts of the country and confines
herself strictly to this one speciality. She
has never been exploited in print, so her
reputation Is due entirely to word-of- mouth
praise. and 1t is strange how far 1t has
Travelled. She admitted laughingiy that Il
was rather a gruesome way to make a Ev-
ing. but said 1t beat teaching all hollow

During a recent engagement at the Great

bill TO Grammar, who, since he set II afioat
