Unique Method Of Suicide.

From the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune.
There is an actor in the west who has
been playing for some years in an Irish
drama called THE Inshavegue." And he
relates this experience to prove the de-
mand for an active mind which the actor
must satisfy:
The patriot is confined in jail and about
to be executed The guard stationed out
side is an old friend. and the Inshavogue.
determined that he will not be executed,
arranges 1t to be shot He tells his old
friend that when he puts a light in the
window he Is to shoot at it. and of course
he intends to be there and receive the bull
let. However, he goes to the window first
in the dark, and to his great Joy discovers
that friend has placed a file there and
that he may possibly make his escape
Just as he Is about to gain his liberty the
villain comes in and discovers what Is 60
ing on. The discouraged prisoner is thrown
to the floor, and the villain, in his joy
grabs the light and goes to the window.
where, of course, he meets his just de-
serts. because the faithful friend outside
shoots at the light. as hidden.
1t is intensely melodramatic, but some
thing happened, as it always does. The
company had picked up big, awkward
amateur actor short time before. One
night the big scene was worked up finely
aid the villain dashed to the window, but
there was no gunshot. The old shotgun
that was doing service to make the explo-
sion had refused to go off.
Shoot me, you -" Kissed the
villain to the man in the wings.
Il can't" came the reply, and, click,
click, went the old gun
DO something groaned the hero from
the Jail floor For sake, kill your
self some way"
A brilliant thought came into the alleged
brain of the villainous actor, and he stag
gered down front shrieking:
Heavens, 1 have swallowed the file.

TWICE IN THE SAME HOUSE.-Ray-

Consul company relates some of his ex-
periences with -night-stand hotels, as
follows:
In certain parts of the country the
room with bath is hard to round up In
sequence of one-night stands-just when 1t
is most valuable. 1 won't designate the
town of this experience, because l may
have to visit 1t again. l was overdue for
dip when reached the hotel in this place,
and gave three cheers when 1 found the
tub was local institution l had splashed
around like a kid taking a stolen swim
when found out that there were no towels
In the room: also there was no telephone
to the hotel office and there was nothing
but hole in the wall where the electric

of injustice, enabled me to put on my
clothes over dry skin after a while, and
then l tore downstairs to say something
hard-boiled to the proprietor.

With this he took a lead pencil from his
pocket and inserted it in the hole where
the button used to be. The wiring was
still there, for in a minute up came bell

The proprietor looked at me triumphant

Of anything appropriate to say.
The company still had some doubtful
territory ahead. If it had been possible to
can few baths l would have done it. In
stead, l thought l would take another the
same day while the opportunity lasted.
Secure in the knowledge that the room was
not isolated and despite the fact that tow
els were still missing, 1 jumped into the
tub and tried to absorb water to the full
capacity of the human frame.
Then l put a dripping hand into the
pockets of my vest, but found no lead
pencil there. My fountain pen was too big
for the buttonless bell and so was the
handle of my tooth brush.

most delightful experience of his stage
career.

leading man with Miss Gertrude Coghlan,
when that young actress was starring After
leaving Miss Coghlan he was engaged by
Miss Amelia Bingham for her big produc-
ton of The Climbers, and later Joined
