HISTORY OF LONDON STAGE
The English Capital Boasts Of Many
Handsomely Appointed
Theators.

The London stage of the present
day is described in a new book by
Fl, Burton Baker, "History Of the
London Stage and Its Famous
Players, 1576.19O3,n as follows:
London can boast to-day Of
more handsomely appointed thea
ters than can any other capital in
the world, not excepting Paris and
New York. Though in certain ar.
rangements in the auditorium for
the comfort of the audience the
latter may be in advance, in the
staging of plays We are easily first.
But the playhouse, after all, is
only the husk; the play and the
actor are the thing! 1t is disquiet
ing, however, to every lover of the
drama that each year more and
more theaters are given up to va
riety shows and to mere buffoon-
cry. As long as the theater is sim
ply a business speculation 50 long
It must be conducted upon purely
business lines, and its customers
must be provided with what they
want and not with what they
ought to have. No, no national
theater is possible in this country
until it is purged Of puritanism,
and that desideratum is not likely
to be realized until the Greek Ia.

GARNERED "PUNKINS" ASLEEP.
Caleb Worried, Then in Somnambu-
1istic Fervor Harvested Big Crop.

Caleb Worried, Then in Somnambu-
1istic Fervor Harvested Big Crop.
Caleb Cavalier, down near Lower
Bank, has the finest crop of pumpkins
in these parts, says the New York cor
respondent at Egg Harbor City, n. Y.
In fact, he has so many Of them that
every time he looked down the field it
made him shiver at the thought Of
harvesting them. Every time he sat
down to a meal his wife, Mary, would
say:
"Caleb, when r you going to bring
In them punkins?"
Poor Caleb worried and worried and
the pumpkins got more and more vel
low. 1t got so bad with Caleb he
would turn over in his sleep and talk
about pumpkins. Last night when
everything was quiet Caleb got up.
"What're you going to do, Caleb?''
asked his wife.
''The horses are kicking the punk
ms" said Caleb, very drowsy like.
Mary Cavalier said nothing but just
waited. Out Of the window she saw
Caleb go to the barn, get out Dobbin
and Jennie, hitch them UP to the lum-
Der wagon and start off across the field
in the dark. By and by he got lost in
the dark and pretty soon, when Mary
was thinking of going to look for him,
along came Caleb in the wagon, and
the wagon was just bursting with
pumpkins.
Land sakes! Caleb must be asleep
or crazy" cried the astonished wife.
He didn't say anything to his wife,
and she didn't disturb him.
Caleb was little late rising this
morning, and when he looked out Of
his window and saw the pile of pump
kins he called:
Mary, Mary, come here quick. Some
ones harvested al the punkins I been
worrying about
Caleb, you carted in all them punk
ms yourself in your sleep last night, -
explained Mrs. Cavalier; sits the first
time you have been sleep-walking in
nigh ten years, but it was a mighty
good thing"
