The last act pre- sents the scene of his wedding. Mir. Edeson is filling the office of best man, and as the two discuss the arrange ments just previous to the ceremony the big comedian brings shouts of laughter from the audience by the con tinual nervous inquiry to his best man of What time Is it?"
 Mir.

Mcintyre was piled with the same question, What time is it?" Wondering at the whole sale disappearance of watches and cogitating on the merits of loan agen- cies, the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back fell in the shape of the following question Say, do you fellows think I'm the club clock, or are you all soing dippy? I've told eleven of you the time during hhe last hour. and" here the actor stopped, looked about, and seeing the grin on the guilty faces of his fellow players. realized the joke and called out.

Francis Wilson Converted to Nicotine. . When Francis Wilson read the manu- script of his present success, When Knights Were Bold" he had nervous shock. He had to smoke cigarette in one of the scenes. The comedian sought Charles Frohman and tried to explain that 1t was impossible. The manager, who was smoking at the time a cigar that looked like Krupp gun, simply smiled. Mfr. Wilson fur ther explained that in all his life there had no tobacco touched his lips, anu that it was absolutely out of the ques- tion for him to attempt to smoke on the stage. MT.

It was at this point that the colonel was wounded In the thigh and under. stood from bullets splashlng in the mud in front of him that he was being fired upon from behind, but in few more steps he gained cover and was out of danger.
 He called or the two gendarmes, who, however, continued to fight in the hope. as they afterward said, of capturing some wounded Bulgarians.
 He then proceeded to the house where he had spent the night and had his wound dressed. The two gen darmes returned some time after the elder, Ferhad, a man of sixty years old, having been seriously wounded, and the younger, Mehmed, having ex- hausted his ammunition and having had mud splashed in his face by the explosion of a bomb, after which he thought 1t was time to bring his wounded companion out of danger
 The same evening Colonel Elliot re- turned to headquarters and soon ar. rived in Salonika and was received in the Turkish Civil hospital. Ills wound is progressing favorably.

 A gallant British officers thrilling dash for freedom from the hands of Bulgarian kidnapers Is described in detail by Reuters correspondent al SalonIka. Previous reports of the af, fair had been somewhat meager.
 Colonel Elliot Is a British stan officer n charge of the reorganization of the EeDdarmerie in the Drama district of Macedonia.

 About : o'clock the following morn ing Colonel Elliot went out to take a Stroll round the village.
 Turning into side street, be had gone only about forty yards when be suddenly found himself seized by four men in khaki uniforms, armed with Mannlicher carbines and bayonets, wearing bandoliers and carrying bombs in small sacks attached to their belts.
 He resisted with all his might his jacket getting torn to pieces iu the struggle. but when they tied rope reuDd his left arm be relaxed his er- forts, fearing that he might be secured tn such a way as to leave no hope of escape.
 He continued, however, to make the pace as slow as possible. Strange to say. his captors did not search him for arms. They were probably in too great hurry.
 When their prisoner was being car. ried oc parties of the band were post ed to Ire down the streets by way of tntimIdRting possible pursuers.
 Two of the gendarmeS composing Colonel EllIot's escort started pluckily in pursuit, and soldiers from an ad- joining blOckhouse began to fire across R ravine on the retiring Bulgarians.
 Meanwhile Colonel Elliot had been hurried some distance upward toward the forest. and his party reached an open meadow. where, finding them selves under Are, one of the party lay

Our Names Lack "cOIor.v

At an early period, and indeed well toward the beginning of modern hls- tory, proper names told something as to paternity, occupation and hablta- tion. Today they are quite colorless. A new Ulysses would no longer be Laertides. No Peter indicates that he Is the son of Paul. A Carpenter or Q Weaver Is likely to be a lily fingered stockbroker Even the place names, complains the Nation, have pretty much disappeared, except in the case of nobility, and since the average gen. tie family has not for years lived on It's titular estates or perhaps has had none at all our new Gastons de Folk give us a name as sapless as John Jones.-London Chronicle.

Insignia of the Most Coveted of All
 English creors.
 Although the most coveted of Eng fish orders, the origin of the Garter is really a mystery.
 Conflicting authorities assign the foundation of the order either to the 2Sd of April, St. Georges day, l344, or to the same festival five years later, while the popular anecdote associated with it is that at a court ceremony a lady-eIther the queen, the Countess of Salisbury or the Countess of Kent happened to drop her garter, which was picked up by King Edward III, who observing disposition to laugh among the bystanders, exclaimed in his royal displeasure, "Honl soit Qui nal y pense" (disgraced be he who thinks Ill of iD.
 The relgning monarch is, of course, ex oficio the sovereign of the Order of the Garter.
 At first the garter was made of light blue silk, but that which Is now given Is made of dark blue velvet. It Is worn on the lief leg little below the knee.
 The Order of the Garter as an order of chivalry has very deep religious significance, It is, or should be, at- tended by religious ceremonies of a very precise and ornate character, and 1t was reported in Victorla's reign that a certain nobleman hesitated as to ac- .cepting the honor on account of its having been conferred on an oriental potentate.
