rest the tragedian, occasionally stray ed from the path of rectitude and im- bibed too freely.
 A policeman, now on the pension list. but then connected with the Tenth and Thom pson streets station, one night found the actor wandering about Spring Garden street.
 The officer knew better, than to arrest Forrest. Instead he started him in the d. rection of his home at Broad and Mas ter streets. The way was slow and irk- some. Forrest was no lightweight, and had to be handled with the greatest con sideration. After an hours hard work the policeman had the satisfaction of plotting his charge up the steps of his mansion. Then, since Forrest was in no condition to act for himself the officer borrowed his key and unlocked the door
 It was at this fatal moment that the actor aroused from his stupor Seeing the stranger entering his house he req soned that he was being robbed.
 With that tremendous strength for which he was noted he sprang at the un- suspecting officer whirled him around and with one mighty shove sent him spinning to the bottom of the steps, where he fell in a heap.
 What. knave.'' thundered Forrest ''seekest to rob me? Begone dog, ere make worms meat of thee.'
 And this was all the reward the officer ever got. It happened, however, in fall ing that he had held on to the key, and he has it to this day. a treasured souy- enir of the great actor.

He rayfuses. He IS thin placed upon tn grass an given a dhrinik a baynit bein' fixed in hts mouth so he cannot rejict tn hospitality. Un- dher tn infiooence iv tn hose that cheers but does not inebriate, he soon warrums, or perhaps I might say, swells up to a ralizatlon iv tn granjoor iv his adoptlVe country One gallon makes him give three groans fir tn constitchoochion. At four gallons, he will ask to be wrapped in tn flag. At tn dew pint he sings Han- kee Doodle. Occasionally we run acrost a stubborn an rebellyous man who wud sthrain at me idee iv human rights an swallow the Passyfic ocean. but l mus say mos iv these little fellows is less hollow in their pretintions. Nachrally we have had to take a good nanny GUS toms firm tn Spanyard, but we have inn proved on thin.

 "I have not considhered it advisable to inthrajooce amy fads like thrile be jury iv yeer peers into me administhra- tion. Plain straightforward dealin's is me motto.

 'I've heard of the Fays," said the Artist They're out on the Orpheum Circuit now. But the Elfns-no. What kind of Turn do they do?"
 "Ah, the Elfins!" said the Author. "They dance in the Moonlight and skip from Tree to Tree"
