last year receiving congratulations be-
cause of the fact that he had at last
succeeded in finding member of the
opposite sex who was willing to cook
and make his bed for him for the con-
sideration of wifely title.
Brown was last week being congratu-
lated because of the arrival of son
and heir.
Now Brown, by the way. was thirty
nine years Of age when he married and
consequently was well qualified to
give his opinions as to the state Of
matrimonial utilization.

the villain was about ten feet
Jump. you foolr' came from the
wings.
Gathering his legs under him, Pat
launched himself into the air. He COW
cred about half the distance, fell upon
his hands and knees and rolled over
upon his back. The supreme effort he
had made in jumping had ripped open
the lion skin. Scrambling to his feet,
Pat stood trembling In the glare Of the
footlights. Precipitation had made riv-
ulets through the dust which covered
his red face. Dazed and confused, he
stood in the center of the stage trying
valrvy to scratch himself where the
fieas were thickest. A cyclone Of laugh
ter swept over the audience. There
were catcalls from the galleries and
shrieks of mirth from the women. Then
the curtain came down with a rush, and
Pat was jerked behind the scenes. The
heroine. filled with rage. tried to scratch
his eyes out. The prompter struck him
with a barrel stave. Still the applause
from the audience continued. Cries of

They'll have the house down."
Pandemonium broke loose when Pat
appeared.
Tell US all about it, Pat" said wag
in the orchestra.
"Yes! A speech! A speech!' came
from the galleries.
And Pat, taking all this for applause,
raised his hand and said: A-

where the lions skin was carefully
pinned over his clothing. He was then
instructed to get down on his hands
and feet and pull string which con-
nected with a powerful spring in the
lions tail.
What III | do that for?" said Pat,
splitting and coughing like sick cat.
Because you are an angry lion and
must lash your sides with your tail as
a lion always does when he is mad"
said the property man.
Rafferty, pulled the string. and the
animated paint brush smote his sides
like carpet beaten, producing cloud
Of suffocating dust
Sneezing and choking, the Irish lion
gasped:

A crowd Of dancers in tights and

twitching the lions ear.

Just then a bell rang. and the girls
disappeared in twinkling.
Come on, Pat" said the prompter.
'Its pretty near time for you to go
on"
The lion was taken to the side of the
stage between two wings. Dimly he
saw brilliantly lit amphitheater filed
with men and women. Upon the stage
was a glade in a tropical forest. in the
center of which young woman sat
upon log, while at her feet knelt a
military officer in resplendent uni
form
when he seizes her in his arms.

A writer on natural history has the
following to say of badgers: 'Tn HARD
winter weather the badger lies much in
its earth, alternating for long periods
much after the fashion OF the bear and

the beast closes up the mouth Of its
