Beerbohm Tree had a comical expe-
rience on his first appearance as the
corpulent Fnlstaff. In the last act he
had arranged that Falstaff, discomfort
ed by gibes and bulfets of the fairies
in Windsor forest, should make one
herculean effort. to climb the oak tree.
The pegs that We're to serve as sup
ports for that tree were always con-
spicuous by their absence. On the
morning before the performance Mr..
Tree was told they should positively be
fixed Oh the tree. The morning came,
but with it no pegs. Eloquence was
stfed; even invective faltered. He
pointed to the tree and with the calm
Of despair blurted out to the defaulter,
mo pegs"
Such an ejaculation, spoken more In
sorrow than in anger would, he hoped,
appeal to that last remnant Of con-
science which even the papier mache
bosom of property man might be sup
posed to retain. In the evening there
was a dress rehearsal, but still no pegs
could be seen. Mr.. Trees form quiv.
ered-beneath the paddlng-with pent
up emotions, and in torrent of pas
sion and voice shaken by righteous
wrath he exclaimed:
"Where are those pegs?"
"Pegs-pegs!" exclaimed the property
master, with exasperatlng affability.
"Why, guvnor, what was your words
to me this morning? NO pegs And
there amt none!'-London Tit-Bits.

Land Crahs.

One Of the commonest and the lar.
gest of the Christmas island land crabs
Is the we'll known robber crab, which
Is found In most Of the tropical islands
of the Indian and Pacific oceans. 1t
sometimes reaches length of two feet
and may measure seven inches across
the back. Its colors are Of very
gaudy description, the ground color be-
ing a bright red, upon which there are
stripes of yellow. but in some cases a
purplish blue is the prevailing tint.
The eyes are fixed Oh stalks which
can be moved independently of one an
other, and there are two pairs of feel
ers, one long, the other short. The lat
ter pair are continually jerled up and
down. There is pair Of powerful
claws, then several walking legs. In
general appearance these animals are
much more like rather stout Holsters
than crabs, and ones first encounter
with one Of these creatures In the mid
die Of forest far from the sea Is pro-
ductive Of much establishment on both
sides.
Another species Of land crab COM
mon In Christmas island is little
bright red animal which in general
shape is much like the common shore
crab. This variety makes burrows in
the ground, and in some places the soil
is honeycombed with hundreds of holes.
The crabs spend most Of their time
collecting dead leaves. which they car
~ In their claws, holding them up over
their heads, and drag down into their
burrows, into which they scuttle at the
least alarm.-Pearson's Magazine.

ELOQUENT TRIBUTE -
II TO THE DOG.

One of the most eloquent trib-
utcS ever paid to the dog was de-
llvcred 10y Senator Vest of Mis-
Sourl some years ago. says the
Nashville American. He was at
tending court in country town,
and while wal ting for the trial of
Il ease in which he was Interested,
he was urged by the attorneys in Il
dog ease 10 help them. He was
paid fee Of 50 by the plaintiff.
NOluminOuS evidence was intro
duccd to show that the defendant
shot the dog in malice, while other
evidence went TO show that the dog
had attacked defendant. Vest took
no pant in the trial, and was not
disposed to speak. The attorneys.
however, urged him to make
speech, else their client would not
think he had earned his fee. Be.
ing thus urged he arose, skanncd
the face of each juryman for
moment and said;
Gentlemen of the jury: The
best friend II man has in the world
may turn against him and become
his enemy. His son or daughter.
that he has reared with loving cnrc,
may prove ungrateful. Those
who are nearest and dearest, those
whom We trust with our happiness
and our good name may become
traitors to their faith. The mon
ey that man has he may lose.
1t flies ava! from him, perhaps
when he needs it most. 4 mans
reputation may he sacrificed in ii
moment of i'll considered action.
The people who are prone to fall
on their knees to do MS honor when
success is with us may be the first
to throw the stone of malice when
failure sets its cloud upon our
heads. The one absolutely UNI
selfish friend that man can have in
this selfish world, the one that
never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungratnful or trcach-
erous, is his dog. \ mans dog

Southern woman protested, tho in
a dignified manner, against their
presence, but to no avail, the 9th

others were sympathetic. One
