which happened some years ago, when

"Othello." and the scene was the one
in which the jealous Moor demands the

seemed as though the play at this
point was being unnecessarily delayed,
for, rolling big red bandanna hand

straight at the head Of the astonished
tragedian. exclaiming:

1t is a pity there couldn't have been a

about as follows:

tavern in Park Row, New York, then
the Rialto of the thespianS. While as

the question. What rules the world2'
was asked. and various opinions were
expressed. William Ross Wallace, who
was present, retired, and before long
called Tom Leigh from the room and
handed him a poem, which he had just
written. Leigh read it to the company,
and Brougham, in his most happy vein,
made a speech Of acknowledgment.
The screed was entitled, What Rules
the World and the first stanza read:
They say that man is mighty
He governs land and sea,
He Yields a mighty scepter
Ger lesser power that be.
But a mighty power and stronger
Man from his power has hurled,
And the hand that rocks the cradle
