The Pleasant-In need Man.

London Tit-Bits: When the gentleman
at the desk attended to the cases of vari-
Gus applicants he turned to a pleasant
faced well-dressed man who was patient
ly awaiting his attention.
"Well," he said to him. with a smile,
what can i do for you today?"
Nothing was the quiet response.
"Ah, that's pleasant; everybody seems
to want some sort OF favor. Come In and
sit down; you are a relief"
TIE ~pleasaDt-faced bowed and accepted
the invitation. ION the other hand" he
said, when he was comfortably seated, II
want to give you something"
That's nicer han ever smiled the
host. 1--WE heard that II was better to
give than to receive, but I've never had
much chance to try both"
The visitor took a book out of his
pocket.
II want to give you,' he said, bowling
again, IAN opportunity to put your name
down for the finest book ever sent out by
q publishing firm In -" But he never
finished the sentence.

A Breezy Tale From Texas.

New York Telegram: Charles b.
Hanford, while playing in a Texas
town, was approached by a young man
In typical cowboy costume, who said:
Are you the manager of his play
that comes tonight?"
Mr.. Hanford said he was.
do you want to hire a man to help
act?"
mo. My company is complete
Want to hire a man to count
money!"

Want to hire a man to get out In
the back of the theater and holler and
applaud?"
mot this tour. The audience are
attending to that very satisfactorily"
Want anybody for anything on
earth?"
mot that I think OF at present."
well. that's just our luck. We've
got a man here who recites pieces in
consideration of being treated. If he
doesn't get treated he'll hang around
and make the barroom unpleasant for
hours. We don't want to hurt him,-for
he's a good sort, in the main. But he
only knows three pieces-'Mark An
tony's Grafton 'Hamlet's Soliloquy'
and 'Rienzi's Address to the Romans.
We thought that IL you could flatter
his mind into the belief hat he's a
great genius and haul him around the
country two or three trips, so that he
can learn a few new pieces from you,
we'd be willing to make up a purse
that would come mighty near making
u worth while"

Tho Woman "Hnmlet."

w. d. Howells, in Harper's@ The
strongest reason against any woman
Hamlet Is that 1t does violence to an
ideal. Literature Is not so rich In great
imaginary masculine types that we
can afford to have them transformed
to women; and after seeing Nine. Bern
hardt's Hamlet no one can altogether
liberate himself from the fancy that
the prince of Denmark was a. girl Of
uncertain age, with crises of mannish-
ness in which she did not seem quite
a lady. Hamlet is In nothing more q
man than in the things to which as n
man he found himself unequal; for ms
a woman he would have been easily
superior to them. If we could suppose
him a woman as Nine. Bernhardt, in
spite Of herself, invites us to do, we
could only suppose him to have solved
his perplexities with the delightful
precipitation Of his putative sex. ~As
the niece of a wicked uncle, who In
thai case would have had to be a wick.
ed aunt, welded to Hamlet's father
hard upon the murder Of her mother,
she would have mad short work of
her vengeance. No fine scruples would
have delayed her: she would not have
had a moments question whether she
had not better kill herself; she would
nave u with her bodkJp and ended
the doubt by first passing IT through
her aunt's breast.
To be sure, there would then have
been no play of Hamlet" as we have
1t, but a Hamlet k hat imagined, a
frankly feminine Hamlet, Nine. Bern
hardt could have rendered wonderful
ly. 1t is in attempting a masculine
Hamlet that h transcends the imag-
Unable and violates an ideal. 1t is as
IL Sir Henry Irving were to play Lady
Macbeth, or John Hare were to play
Mrs. Ebbsmith; or John Drew should
do Lady TeaZle. 1t Is not thinkable.
After you rave seen 1t done, you say,
as Mr.. Clemens Is said to have said OF
bicycling: Yes, I have seen 1t, but it's
impossible. 1t doesn't stand to rea-
son."

Immediately after this announcement
a number of memorials were presented
for reference. One offered by Rev.
James Cannon, Jr. and Rev. j. o. Moss,
is especially interesting, reading thus:
Whereas, There is great evil
abroad in the land, which evil is de-
stroying the sanctity of the marriage
relation, thus sapping the foundation of
home life among us;
Whereas, In some States marriages
and divorces stand in the appalling pro-
portion of one to ten. and,
Whereas, Even in our own beloved
Southland the evil is assuming Distress
ing proportions, and the time has come
for the Church of Christ to take clear
and decided position on the question,
therefore

grounds from holding membership in

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 16.-The bril-
gands who captured Miss Stone have re-
duced the amount of ransom they de-
mand to 10000 pounds Turkish Coinci-
dent with this intelligence is the infor-
nation that the leaders of the band. if
convinced that this is more than Mr..
Dickinson will give, would accept Is 900

the missionary further abate their de-
mands there is no hope of an immediate
settlement.
An agent who is in touch with the
brigands reports that they recognize
that they made a mistake in kidnapping
Miss Stone. They would, however, con-
slider it worse than a blunder to release
her without an adequate ransom.
There is no longer any fear regarding
the brigands' intentions toward the cap
