On t,aaln. Of Aaain.

A young New York artist who is almost as noted for his convivial tend. encies as he is for his genius was re gently asked by a friend:
 "What does yoar wife think of these spells? should think she would not submit to them."
 .'When I have a spree" confessed the incorporate ,one frankly, "she is just as good to me as any one possibly could be. She takes care of me and nurses me back to decency with a kindness that is superhuman-aitsis an gelic and beyond belief.
 "But once I am sober again she be- gins to nag me to promise her and swear to her that never. never, never again will drink drop, and she keeps at me so determinedly and so persist ently that-by Jove-she makes me so desperate that have to go and fill up again so 1 can forget it."

Thouoht He Had Died.

A prominent member of German. American society told a story about a German friend of his who was taken i'll. For many days the German was close to death, but after time he showed improvement in condition. The doctor told the Germans wife that her husband might have anything to eat that be liked.
 The German expressed desire for limburger cheese, and the wife, being a generous woman and pleased at the improvement and In order that her husband might have nibble at any time he had taste for it, put some cheese in every room in the house. Ii is easy to imagine the aroma.
 The next morning the doctor called at the house, and as soon as he opened the door he asked:
 When did he die ?"-Hartford Post.

GRACE GEORGE IN
 "A WOMAN'S WAY"

The talents of Grace George, who is always attractive, were displayed last night. to a large audience at Smiths, in "A Woman's Way" which belongs to "dranrner' and will never uplift that. There is the usual rich man home, which permits the staglng of some handsome apartments. There IS the regulation lot of rich people and their relatives, talking it must be ad- mitted more human language than is usually the case There is also the same old sex interest, gained in the same old way from the association or the husband of the heroine with a lady who is not his wife.
 The novelty of the play, if a dram mer" upon this time worn proposition can have novelty, consists in the fact that the wife receives the other Wom- an into her own home, where she plays it low down upon her, by assembling under the same roof as many of the other friends of the other woman as she can conveniently find in the limit cd amount of time that she has for the purpose.
 The dialogue of the play always bor- ders upon slang, or makes lofty hlgn dive into slang, turning three somer- saults on the way down. The perslnage is amusing, but not very subtle. The
  the knockout comedian is to vaude- vile. The point couldn't possibly be missed. This had it's compensating features, for there were no inappro- priate moments in the gallery, as there was the night before when Miss Meth ersole had the stage.
 Miss George gave most satisfac- tory performance. She was hampered by the indistinct articulation of Frank Worthing, as Howard stanton. the husband He could not be understood eight rows from the stage Dorothy Tennant as Miss Elizabeth Blake more. the 'sother woman" was as charming a figure on the stage as the other woman usually is, and a proper actress as we'll
 Incidentally the characters included a newspaper man who was not so ao- solutely removed from real life as men in the "drammer" usu- ally are.

How 1t Works Out.

'I never tell funny stories in my speeches" remarked Senator Sor ghum.
 "The audience always enjoys them.'
 "Yes. 4 man hears you tell funny story, and he thinks it is so good he tries to remember il. He regards you as first rate fellow and feels thank. full to you for giving him new one Then he tells it to the first friend he meets, and as he isn't good story teller. the friend doesn't laugh. Then he tries it on the blase hotel clerk and the stolid drug store man and several others. and by the time he gets home he concludes you have passed him a gold brick. He not only refuses to vote for you. but tells all his friends he doesn't think it's dignifed to keep in office man who tells funny sto- ries." Washington Star.
