Richard Mansfield was discussing

help sympathizing, though, with the
vengeance that stage villain took ON
his manager last year in the West
1.-The villain was supposed, at the
e1al of the fifth act, to plunge a knife
in his heart, and to die very hard
rolling and kicking all over the stage.
when his cue came he did plunge
in THE knife, but then, instead OF dying
he LAY down on the floor, crossed his
legs and burst into loud. long laugh
ter, the dagger still sticking, mind
yon, lin his breast.
The audience was amazed and stu
pefied at such unreasonable conduct
The actors on the stage could not go
on, for they were amazed and stupe-
fed, too. The manager nearly beside
himself, missed from the wings in a
loud whisper:
"@You fool, what are you laughing
at? This is your death scene'

villain. Yes, I know it is, and with
such salary as you give me, death

Two Pictures.

An old farmhouse with meadows wide
And sweet with clover on each side:
A bright-eyed boy, who looks from out
The door with woodbine wreathed about
And wishes his one thought all day:
"Oh! If I could but fly away
From this dull spot the world to see,
How happy, happy. happy.
How happy I should be-"

Amid the city's constant din,
A man who round the world has been,
Who, mid the tumult and the throng,
Is thinking, thinking all day long:
"Oh! could I only tread once more
The field path to the farmhouse door,
The old. green meadow could see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy I should be-

A Country Like a Ships Hold.

Holland as a whole is probably tbs
lowest country in the world, the great
er part of it lying many feet below the
sea level. The annual expenditure On
dykes to keep out the water is estE
mated at $2,o00,000. The constantly
imminent nature of the danger WIZ
be thoroughly appreciated by the
stranger, says Baedeker, if he stands
at the foot Of the great dykes at high
tide and hears the breakers dashins
against the other side of the barrier al
a height of sixteen or eighteen feet
above his head. The force of the OLD
Dutch proverb, God made the sea-,
we made the Shore" will also be ap=
parent. The principal canals are SIZE
feet in depth, and not only the surface
of the water, but the bed of the canal
is often considerably above the 1eye3
of the surrounding county.

And that's how little Ellen" was
lost to James Simpsons Ten Big
Shows. She grew mp in quiet little
Alabama town without doing anything
more seandalons than yielding to
very natural desire to astonish her
playmates by performances on the
clotheslines, in the back yard, or on
the rafters of the old-fashioned barn,
or on the high garden fence. She
was dearly beloved by the good old
doctor and his wife, and at eighteen
might have passed for the daughter
Of an earl. It was then that Phillip
Rogers came home from college, saw
her and fell in love with her. And
then it was that everybody said he
was mad-hopelessly mad. She was
pretty, she was well educated, she
was lovable, she was altogether
charming-but the daughter of circus
people-and such people!
But because she was the one woman
in the world for the young heir, he
married her and took her to a golden
paradise in the Rocky Mountains.
Far up in Idaho, on the bosom OF
the Rockies, lie the marvelously rich
"Forget-me-not" gold mines, called
now, however, by the name of Little
Ellen" The name was changed after
the big strike and this is how it
happened:
Philip represented his fathers large
interests there and when the strike
came on, as the embodiment of Capt.
tai, Labor put his name on the fated
lists and he was set apart from the
first. He and Ellen had been at the
mines but year, and the union men
looked on him as Southern tender
foot, who ought to be easily managed.

This little word to tell;
That could write her better songs
Did I not love so well.
Alas, the half my heart would say
Her heart must only guess;

Did I but love her less.
And yet to write a sweeter song
Than e'er was heard before,
I would not love her less, and So
I love her more and more.
