serious nature OF the damage that
might be caused 80 important a phase
Of commercial enterprise as the cater

He Is a man OF the greatest tact, COM

known that he does not wish that play
goers should abstain from visiting the
theaters because Of respect TO the mem
DRY Of Victoria. Such an lntimatlon
can be given quite informally and Il Is
more than likely to be put abroad In an
unofficial way. The nature of the new

rical, and the business manager for
Mrs. Langtry, AS he puts IT, "No one

WHEN TRAVEL

II seems curious to think, In these
DAYS of electricity transportation and
distance demoishing systems, Of time
when travel through this part of the
| country was by wagon. But there was
a time when the creaking clumsy horse
| drawn vehicle was the only means OF
moving, and a reference to 1t came up
| the other evening at a reception where
every one Is expected to contribute
something to the general entertain
ment.
An artist who is growing rapidly in
| fame had been made TO do something
in charcoal, a dignifed musician had
been victimized into executing cake
walk and the hostess was casting about
for further amusement says the New
York Herald. As II happened there
was present descendant OF Morris
Birkbeck, whose notes on America so
interested readers OF another genera
ton. Mr. Blank was asked to sing
song tell a story or give a dance.
When he declined all these alluring In
yitations he was told he was violating
rule OF the circle. Then he bethought
him OF HIS dead and gone ancestor.

Paris. where was dining with prom

English actor. Something was said
about the Prince of Wales, and the
Englishman said he had once been pre-
sented to his royal highness.
"And so have l" said the American,

a good old pal"
The Engllshman stared in blank
amazement az such a familiar state
ment, but the good old circus man did
not notice the result of his remark, nor
mark the amused grin OF your corre-
spondent at the actors amazement.
He had acted as guide TO the prince
during private visit 10 famous
American show, and his opinion was the
result Of the way his royal guest had
acted while under his guidance.
In the other instance the prince had
asked that a very well-known Amerl-
can actor should come TO his box TO be
presented and 20 be thanked for the
pleasure the performance had afforded
the royal visitor The actor was some
