In spite of the honors recently paid
to Paul Jones by the navy department,
it is a puzzling reflection that If Paul
Jones were alive to-day he could not
get a commission in the United States
navy except In the remote contingency
that he should enlist and succeed in
getting one Of the half dozen commits
sions which are yearly available to en-
listed men who pass a particularly stiff
examination. Up to four or five years
ago he would not have had even that
chance. The only way to the quarter

Poor Meade was in agony until he was

Rushed to wrong side of stage, sir. Never
happened before-never will again, Sir
And, after all, it didn't go so bad,
Sir" For moment Irving looked him
through and through, after which he
said Jelly:
Yes, Tom; but l like it better the
other way"
One day Irving CHANGED to meet
Mcintyre, with whom he had played
in the Provinces in his own struggling
days. The two men had not met in
years, and Irvings eyes-marvelous
eyes they are-beamed with delight as
they always do when they see an old
companion.
well, well, McIntyrel" he exclaimed
What are you doing here2" and he led
the way into Haxells, where they might
have quiet chat.
Nothing" was the comprehensive
reply.
Have you settled on anything?" He
asked
Mcintyre admitted that he was
expecting to play in something at
Holborn. Before they parted, Irving
said.
''Iou must come down and have seats
in the house, so you can tell me what you
think of us
Next day he sent to Mcintyre a
cordial letter containing tickets for
the two best seats in the Lyceum and
an urgent request for another chat
Merely as an afterthought was this
postscript:
Forgive me for handing you ten
pound note as loan at your convenience.
You may need to get something new for
the play"
McIntyres feelings may be imagined
when | repeat his confession that at that
moment he did not know where his next
meal was coming from.
Irving is fond of children and exceed
ingly attentive to them When he
produced OLIVIA" the juvenile part
was played by nine-year-old boy, who
kept himself clean and tidy, but his
street clothes were SO old that extreme
poverty was evident One night Irving
asked:
Where do you live, my 1ad?"
Beyond Hammersmith, sir "a Lon
don section some miles from the thea
ter.
And how do you get homer" He
asked.
Il walk, sir, the boy replied, surprised
by the inquiry.
"Yes, yes. But after this you must
ride" and Irving ordered that the boy
should be supplied with bus fares there
after. Later Irving noticed that the boy
had troubled look on his face Asked
if he didn't enjoy riding, he confessed
that he had been walking to save his
bus fares, for his mother was i'll and his
father out of work An order was given
that the boys salary should be raised
Throughout the summer, though the
company was not playing, the child con-
tinued to receive his salary, at Irving's
personal order.
Still more significant of his cherishing
regard for children is a story of how he
squandered time-more carefully guarded

reai1Srn, so with smile at the yOunSSter
energy he said:
Like it, my boy? All, yes, I thought
SO. Boys are always hungry"
No sooner was that hungry boy out of
hearing than Irving ordered that the
sheep s-head and oat-cake in future
shetild be properly seasoned and care
fully cooked; still more, he informed the
players that the supper scene was not to
be hurried but was to be governed by the
boys appetite And how that boy did
enjoy the changel though Irving seemed
to get as much pleasure out of the feast
as he
"Old John" Irving's personal servant
and dressing room valet, used to go on
a spree about once year With the
fatality peculiar to such men, his weak
ness took possession of him on a night
of The Lyons Mall" a play in which
the leading character must make so rapid
a change that quick and sober hands must
assist him. Just as the change was
pending poor John stole into the theater
and stood in the wings with comb brush
and other necessary articles Rugged to
his breast, though plainly he was incom-
petent to use them. He cut a ludicrous
figure, though the time was not one for
fun-not for the star Irving graSped
the situation. Almost any other &1tor
in similar circumstances would have
grasped the valet also and shaken the
life out of him Irving merely said
mildly:
John, you're tired. Go home"
Such details of Irving's thoughtfulness,
almost fatherly solicitude, for other
members of his profession as have be-
come generally known are small frac-
ton of what might be told had not the
benehciaries been begged to hold their
tongues. But here is one that was made
public by E. S. Willard the English actor.
To realize its significance, one must
imagine himself an American manager
with an appreciative eye for Lyceum
successes. At a dinner given at Del
monico's by Willard to Irving, Willard
said:
when he heard of my first venture
into the United States, Mr. Irving, with
out telling me of it, wrote to lot of
friends over here that | was not a bad
sort of chap, and they might look after
me a bit. He gathered around me the

leave the room, he took me aside and
said:
If you find when you get to the other
side that your plays don't carry, or that
the American people don't take to them, |
just cable me one word. Here is my
new play at the Lyceum, a beautiful
success, and you shall have it-words, !
music and alas soon as the steamer
can get it to you"
1t is not generally known that before
being knighted Irving twice had refused
a title, and accepted it only after he had
been convinced by men prominent in
other professions that his elevation" as
the English call it, would rebound to the
benefit of the profession at large. Per
sonally, the rank could have placed him
no higher socially than he was already, !
for ever since he became known he has
been surrounded by an aristocracy of
brains. He will not and cannot be pat
ronized and through the lasting respect
