The End Came Another Way.

& A distinguished actor was one time
engaged at one OF our leading provin-
cial theaters In drama In which he
attempts an escape from convict pris-
on, first by getting rid of his letters by
means of iile and lastly by getting
over the prison wall. In the act OF
doing this he is shot at by a wardel
and killed.
One particular night the drama had
run it's usual course up to the point
where the actor attempts the escape
over the prison wall. The warder, as
usual, presented his rifle, but instead
of a loud report nothing but fam
clicking sound was heard. The rifle
was lowered and after brief delay
again pointed, but with the same dis
appointing result
The audience now began to hiss ant
jeer. The disgusted actor then got of
the prison wall and, staggering toward
the footlights, exclaimed, tits all up
I've swallowed the flev' and fell prone
on the stage amid the laughter and ap
plause of the audience. - Pearson's

Jack Tar and the Actor.

"A famous Irish actor of the eight.
zenith century named John Moody
early in life, before he went on the
stage, had been to Jamaica and work
ed his passage home as sailor before
the mast One night some time after
he had been engaged at Drury Lane
when he was acting Stephano in '"The
Tempest sailor in the front row of
the pit got up and, standing upon the
seat, hallooed out, what cheer, Jack
Moody-what cheer, messmate?''
This unexpected address rather as
tonished the audience. Moody, how
ever, stepped forward and, recognizing
the man, called out: 'Tom Hullett,
keep your jawking tacks aboard. Don't
disturb the crew and passengers. When
the show is over make sail for the
stage door, and We'll finish the evening
over a jug Of punch. But till then,
Tom, keep your locker shut" Moody,
1t is related, was as good as his word.

Tho Mayor Of Berlin.

One Of the principal requirements Of
mayor in Germany is unqualified hon
esty. for in the municipal administra-
ton of Germany graft in any form
would not be tolerated. To become the
moyor of city like Berlin the ap-
plicant must have established his repu-
tation for efficiency in governing other
German cities His career is carefully
scrutinized by the members of the
town council who select him, for not
only must he be competent and sue
cessfully perform the duties of his high
position, but still SO young as likely to
remain competent for many years, for
mayor in Prussia is elected for a
term of twelve years and if not re-
elected after that period Is entitled to
life pension of half the amount of his
salary After a service of six years
his pension is one fourth of his salary
and after serving twenty years two
thirds He need not necessarily be a
resident of Berlin at the time of his
appointment-in fact, the mayor is usu-
ally chosen from the residents of other
cities.

ChiIdrla1 and CanQy,

Give children plenty of pure sugar,
taffy and butter scotch and they'll have
little need of cod liver oil, says Dr.
Woods Hutchinson in Woman's Home
Companion. In short, sugar Is, after
meat, bread and butter, easily our
next most important and necessary
food. You can put the matter to a
test very easily. Just leave off the
pie, pudding or other desserts at your
lunch or midday dinner. You'll be as
tonished to find how quickly you'll
feel empty" again and how "unfin
ished'' the meal will seem. You can't
get any workingman to accept din
ner pail without pie in 1t. And he's
absolutely right. The only thing that
can take the place of sugar here is
beer or wine. 1t is significant fact
that the free lunch counters run in
connection with bars furnish every
Imaginable thing except sweets. Even
the restaurants and lunch grills at
tached to. saloons or bars often refuse
to serve desserts Of any sort. They
know their business! The more sugar
and sweets man takes at meal the
less alcohol he wants. Conversely
nearly every drinking man will tell
you that he has lost his taste FOR
sweets. The mere candy nation con-
sumes, the less alcohol .

about an early day snowstorm: zone
day after many days of dry weather
a big snow came and visited our
drought-stricken land. The faces Of
the farmers were all smiles, because
it meant a wheat crop. But alasi an
old-time wind came up from the south
that blew about 40 miles an hour and
drifted the snow northward for day.
Then came an 80-mile-an-hour wind
from the north that drifted it back
south again. This condition of wind
continued daily until the snow storm
