out in the back yard looking for an

pride of Mrs. Flynn's heart-caught
his eye, and he reached the only

Policeman Flynn circled round the

somewhat hay. 1t was only q short

reached from the ground, so the pa

lowered himself somewhat from the

came in contact with his fathers fin

There was a yell. and a policeman

ist and a stick as an actor ana that
much brilliant repartee should flow
therefrom, to the mystitication of the
audience and the amusement of both
Sothern and Goodwin.
Goodwin entered heartily into the
spirit of the joke, and at the proper
moment, dressed in full evening Co.'S
tune and somewhat disguised, he rose
in one of the stage boxes, interrupted
Sothern, called him delusion and a
snare and wanted him TO stop immedi-
ately.
Sothern, who enjoyed it even more
than Goodwin, replied very smartly,
and a rattling controversy ensued in
which Sothern evidently had the sym
pathy of the audience. Imagine the
latters delight and Goodwln's aston
ishment when a policeman. who was
not in Goodwin's half of the joke,
marched in under secret orders from
Sothern and removed the disorderly
gentleman from the box and then from
the house to the police station amid
the cheers of the crowd.

A Word About Insurance.

In an extract from a San Francisco

contained:
"Among the companies paying their

found the following: The Aetna, the
Royal, London & Lancashire, Lonton,
Liverpool & Globe, the Atlas, the
North British & Mercantile, the Gale
donia, the Northern, the Norwich
Union, Philadelphia Underwriters,
New Zealand, the Union, Scottish
Union & National, The London Assur-
ance Corporation, German American,
German Alliance, Phoenix of Hartford,
the Franklin, Providence, Washington,
the Alliance and the American Central. "
You had better look over your insur-
ance policies and if you are not insured
in one of these companies, let us know
and we will write your insurance in one
Of them at once. Then you need have
no further worry about your insurance.
