Some Theatrical Jokes,

In performance Of "The Lady Of
the Lake" the actor who took the part
of Roderick Dhu was known to be in
pecuniary difficulties. When Roderick
gave the line, II am Roderick Dhu,"
Fitzjames responded, Eyes, and your
rents due too" On the production Of
a piece called "The Spy the early
acts showed that it was going to prove
a failure. So when at certain point
a character had to rush on and shout,
Five hundred pounds for the spy!'
the author-actor, who was concealed
behind a rock, arose and cried, Its
yours - copyright, manuscript and
parts" That was the end of the per-
Torrance. ..s
When eating takes place on the

to struggle through it, though the

Paid For the Supplies.

"A story said to be characteristic Is
told Of a certain judge. 1t seems that
when he convened court at one Of the
towns on his circuit it was found that
no pens, ink or paper had been pro-
vided, and upon inquiry it developed
that no county funds were available
for this purpose. The Judge expressed
himself somewhat forcefully, then drew
some money from his own pocket. He
was about to hand this to the clerk
when a visiting lawyer. high priced
imported article, brought on to defend
case of some Importance, spoke up in
an aside plainly audible over the room
Well" he remarked, with infinite
contempt, I've seen some pretty bad
courts, but this-well, this is the
limitv' -@--
The old judge flushed darkly.
You are fined $25 for contempt, sir.
Hand the money to the clerkw he said,
and when the pompous visitor had
humbly complied he continued.
CHOW, Mr.. Clerk, go out and get
what pens, ink and paper the court
may require, and If there is anything
left over you can give the gentleman
his change. '-Harper's Weekly.

A Genius at Excuses.

"While | was stage managing piece
some time ago." said theatrical mag
nate, zone Of my show girls showed
an independence of spirit which was
superb. She was always late for re-
hearsal. Her excuses were great. All
her friends and relations had series
of maladies which were remarkable in
their number and diversity. She nurs-
ed them all until they naturally gave
up the ghost About an hour was
enough to bury most Of them. Then
she caught on to mechanical devices.
Street cars were invariably late-just
as late as she was, in fact Then in
turn came certain nconveniences in
hotels. The elevator was continually
sticking until finally came the denoue-
ment 1t was in Philadelphia. The
siren did not appear until nearly two
hours after the proper time. l looked
at her and waited. The excuse came
glibly. ..~-.
"'Oh,' she painted, Tn so sorry. but
they are repairing the stairs at the
hotel, and I could not get down until
they brought a ladder!
II recognized genius in that girl."-

How the Cook Did 1t.

He had a. number Of guests to din
ner, and he was doing the carving. He
had deftly taken two slices off the
joint, and he was turning off a third
when the blade struck skewer, made
a sliding motion and came out at the
top, with the result that the proposed
slice looked like dead leaf curled up
by the suns rays.
He could not say intense things in
the presence Of his guests, so he froze
his wife with glance, dug the skewer
out viciously, made a grim joke con-
corning the indigestibility Of roasted
wood and ordered little Willie, who
had made several attempts to speak, to
keep silent or leave the table,
His evident temper led to an embar=
RAISING silence, and Willie saw an
opening that he could not resist.
"Cook burned her. nose orful!" he
announced 10
"Too bad" said the mother, glad of
any excuse for conversation. "How
did she do it?"
"Why," answered Willie very apro-
pos, trying to pull them skewers out
with her teeth!"-London Scraps.

An INDIGNANT Artist.

The sensational offers said to have
been made by theatrical managers to
the principal actor in a recent murder
trial must have made professional
stars feel very much as did the painter
Hayden in 1916 when two of his finest
pictures were being shown at the
Egyptian hall, and the public thronged
into another room where General Tom
Thumb was on view. "They rush by
thousands to see Tom Thumb" wrote
the disappointed painter in his diary.
'Their eyes are open, but their sense
Is shut. 1t is an insanity, rabies, a
madness, Juror, dreamv' Another
entry later on runs: 'Tom Thumb had

Oiameter of a Fine Wire.

Should you ever find it necessary to
obtain the diameter Of a fine wire, it
may be done in this manner: Wind it
carefully around piece Of pencil in
one layer for an inch or so, that each
turn is touching the previous one. Then
measure exactly an inch along the wire
and count the number of turns in the
inch: You then have the information
Thus, If there are eighteen turns the
wire is eighteenth of an inch in d.
