HOLMES DIsPELS sLEEPINEss.

Louis Francis Brown manager of the Burton
Holmes lectures, relates short anecdote which
pays tribute TO a woman's honesty and also
to the "Travelogue' of Mr.. Holmes as stimu-
liant to wakefuness.
"It happened said Mr.. Brown. in an Indiana
city, where Mr.. Holmes was lecturing. A
woman, evidently a widow. came to the lecture
accompanied by little boy OF nine or ten
years, but with only ticket for the two.
The doorkeeper stopped her, of course. and
asked for her other ticket. She replied that she
had brought the boy merely an escort, and
that, while she wanted him to come IN, she
added, He always sleeps through every lecture
thought he would not need ticket had
overheard this conversation and was struck
with the ludicrous side of It that I nodded to
the doorkeeper, and he admitted the widow and
her sleepy escort. The lecture began, and
went into the managers office to make the usual
settlements for the evenings business. In the
midst of figuring were interrupted by
timd knocking at the box Office window, and
the window being opened, by still more timid
voice as the head of the widow deposited the
price for another seat. with the remark. Say,
mister, the boy is keeping awake >"
On Friday afternoons and Sundays Mr..
Holmes lectures at the New Lyceum Theatre
IN this city. His season closes on December II.
