it will probably he acted as long as
there is a theatre, for il is old and as

three years in Paris and has since
been revived. The next link in the
chain of borrowers was Sydney Grun-

comedy "A Pair of Spectacles. No
comedy ever had the career in London

Queen Victoria three different times

Trap Embedded In Tree.

While telling tree on Eli Marvin's
farm near Jefferson. Ind, Oscar Wal
tiers, the tenant, made singular dis
covery. A large steei trap was found
imbedded In the tree, the wood hav-
ing grown over 1t to a thickness OF
three inches Attached to the trap
was long chain. this being imbedded
about six inches. On the spring OF
the trap was stamped the name Of
George Emory.
Mr. Emory reports that the trap has
been missing for twenty-five years.
The owner was a famous trapper in
those days, and did a fourishing busi-
ness in coon hides, those animals be-
ing plentiful in the woods then. In
making his rounds one day he found
that one trap has disappeared. He
thought that it had been stolen, but
had no idea that the thief was a four
footed one. When the trap was found
in the tree it was about forty feet
from the ground. After being cut out
it was returned to Mr.. Emory, who re-
membered its loss and identified It.
He thinks that the trap was carried up
into the tree by coon.

painful embarrassment was notice.

passengers features, and the young
fellow noticed each one and blushed
deeply.
But more trouble was in store. At
Seventeenth street two red-faced SER
want girls boarded the car. They
crowded into a seat and began to talk
volubly.
"Yis," said one, eth MISTRESS give

She paused here as her wandering
gaze rested on the conspicuous young
man in the corner.
Say, Ellen" she said, loudly, and
with a giggle, "how would you like
that for a feller?"

ly before 1T had reached the street
where he wished to alight.-Philadel-
