AResponsivc Audience.

A well known player, whose forte is
romantic comedy, tells an amusing
story in connection with the produc-
ton some years ago of an unsuccess-
full comedy. This comedy was dire
failure drawing but meager audi
ences. The record in this respect was
reached when the curtain rose on q
Wednesday matinee in Brooklyn, with
fifteen persons in the house. In the
front of the house there was but one
occupant-a young girl in the second
row. In the first row Of the balcony
sat one young man.
The play opened with a scene ON the
deck Of n yacht, and as the leading
man emerged from the cabin and
gazed into the empty gulf before him,
he spoke his first line:
'I'he sea is purple. Have you, too,
noticed it?''
Whereupon the voice Of the young
man in the balcony responded, 81 don't

Tho ORIGIN of Don ouixote.

The object Of Cervantes in writing
don Quixote" was, as he himself de-
clares, to render abhorred Of men the
false and absurd stories contained in
the books of chivalry. The fanaticisIn
caused by these romances was a seri-
Gus evil in Spain in the sixteenth CEN
tury and to destroy a passion which
had taken such deep root among all
classes was a bold undertaking in
which, however, Cervantes was sue
cessful. No books of chivalry were
written after the appearance Of "Den
Quixote," and those then in existence
steadily disappeared, so that they are
now among the rarest Of literary curl
esfties. This famous. romance, which
actually had power to destroy an entire
province of literature, has now become
the Oldest specimen or romantic. fie-
ton and most notable monument Of
genius, by which "Cervantes laughed
Spain's chivalry away"

this reason an alfalfa field is injured
by being submerged fross an overflow,

Is of great Importance, of course, and
