MERELY A PARABLE.
It's Efficacy in melting Congregation
to Giving.
14-d&ds .eSu


From the Popular Magazine.
1t is regrettable but true that among our
colored brethren of the sunny south the
stealing of poultry is not considered helm
the matter very much as did Huckleberry
Finn, who said, If l remember rightly. that
his pap always took along a chicken
when it didn't seem to be ''roosting COM
Portable" because even If he didn't need
it himself it was an easy matter to find
somebody who did. An amusing story is
told of how a negro preacher once took
advantage of this weakness among his
par.shioners.
Just before the collection was taken up
one Sunday morning he announced that he
regretted to state that certain brother
had forgotten to lock the door of his
chicken house the night before, and as
result in the morning he found that most
of his fowls had disappeared.
Il doan' want ter be pussonal, bredren,
he added, but l hab my suspicious as to
who stole dem chickens. 1 also hab reason
fob believin' dat if am right in dose sus-
picions dat pusson won't put any money in
The result was a fine collection, not
single member of the congregation feigning
sleep. After it was counted the Old parson
came forward.
Now, bredren," he said, II doan' want
your dinners to be spoilt by wonderin'
where dat brudder lives who doan lock his
chickens up at night. Dat brudder doan'
exist, nah friends. He was a parable,
gotten up fob purposes Of finances

ACTORS AND REHEARsALS.
The Amount Of Work That Has to Be
Done for Nothing.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The question of the payment of actors
during rehearsal time is one that naturally
agtateS actors and actresses a good deal;
and when one hears, as one frequently does,
Of play in busy rehearsal for six or even
eight weeks, often involving heavy and late
night work, the case for the payment of
such labor certainly seems strong one.
To add to the severity of such instances,
the performances thus laboriously prepared
sometimes fail to attract the public, and
all that the actor has to show for eight or
ten weeks work may be a couple OF weeks
pay. One manager does, We believe, pay
half salaries after the third week. That
seems generous; probably fourth salaries
would be regarded as sufficient One re-
suit of some such arrangement would be
that, for the sake of the management, the
rehearsals would be compressed within q
shorter period of time and would be less
casually conducted than is sometimes the
case at present; and that, too, would be a
benefit all around. There are, of course
difficulties in the way, and cons as well as
pros in this as well as in every other pro-
posed reform; but it should not be impos-
sible for our theatrical managers-whose
general good will to their companies is be-
yond all doubt-to arrive at some business
like compromise in the matter. AS things
stand at present they certainly involve
hardship to a large number Of members or
the theatrical profession.
