A Jeferson Anecdote.

Joseph Jefferson once told a friend
that during his long stage career he
had never been associated with anyone
showing undue familiarity with him
save one individual, a man named
Bagley, who some years ago was prop
erty man in the comedians company
This Bagley annoyed Mr.. Jefferson
very much by his somewhat offensive
manners, but owing to the valuable
services rendered by him, Mr.. Jeffer-
son had always been loath to take
measures more severe than a repri-
mand. But finally the familiarity of
the property man increased to an ex-
tent impossible to endure, so he was
summarily discharged. This dismissal
occurred just before the opening of
Mr.. Jefferson's engagement one year
in Baltimore.
That night Bagley got exceedingly
drunk. Paying his way into the the
alter, he repaired to the gallery, there
to see his old employer enact Rip Van
Wrinkle.
The angry Gretchen had just driven
poor, destitute Rip from the cottage,
when Rip turns, and, with a word of
pathos asks: Den I hat no interest in
der house? 2" The theater was deathly
still, the audience half in tears, when
Bagley's cracked voice was heard in
response:

only 80 per cent."-Harper's Weekly.
