COMEDY IN HAMLET.
New York TelegraphD

New York Telegraph)
Robert Mantell, in a conversation re-
Gently, describing some Of the ludri-
crous and unexpected happenings that
sometimes mar and ruin performances,
and which have turned serious endeavor
TO comic climax, told of an occurrence
which created great laughter in London
at the time of its happening. It was
during his season Of Shakespeare with
Carries as Hamlet
The tragedian was getting along in
years at the time. and it was his Gus
tom to take a little refreshment during
his performance. This was sent IN by a
boy at s o'clock each evening from a
tavern opposite the stage door. One
night new pot boy was sent with the
pint Of ale. some toast and cheese, and
told by the tavernkeeper to give il to
Mr. Carries, which instruction was car
ried out to the letter The stage was
on a level with the street, and as there
was no one on watch TO direct him
when he entered the theatre, Potts, %
hearing Carries voice. hurried on the
stage before the audience just as the
tragedian was repeating the words IN
Hamlet's sOliiOquy: ITO be, or not to
be"
ITO be-to be sure. sir" grinned
Potts. Here I be, pint o. ale and
crust. sir" A kick from the royal Dane
sent the pint o. ale and crust, accom-
panied by the unfortunate bearer, into
Wells street, and Shakespeare was
ruined for the evening. for whenever
the Prince Of Denmark entered he was
greeted by a litter from the audience.

from Saratoga

OF going. but it's mighty when il comes
to running up expense bills. And
might add that since I have owned il
my power OF walking has been greatly
developed"
Why. this bill" said Senator Cahfrey
Of New York, during the same debate,
would make it grand larceny for any
one to take out a baby carriage without
the owners consent
Would the senator call a nursemaid

demanded Senator Davis.

untold wealth. it was perhaps perfect
81 natural that there should have been
many transgressions and almost uni
versal evasions Of the law.
Moreover, the statutes themselves
were and are, in fact, crude and easily
stretched 10 cover a multitude Of sins.
But a change has come at last and not
only viii the laws be reformed, but
there will be a more general observance
Of those now in existence A painful
reminder of official disregard Of both
the Law and the courts is furnished by
one Of the magazines for the current
month Melville DAWSON Post had
published a story which hinged on the
question whether Confederate notes
were or were not counterfeit money.
Concerning this question Theodore
Roosevelt, then president Of the United
states. wrote to Mr.. Post on January
II. 1908:
you may be amused TO know my OK
perience in connection with the decision
Of the United states supreme court that
While Knox was attorneys general
there came before me the case of two
criminals who had passed these notes
The lower court held that the notes were
counterfeit, and both men were iInpris-
Oned. one of the men took al appeal
and the other did not.
After some time the superior court de-
clared that the confederate notes were
not counterfeit and therefore the man
was released.
Knox thereupon brought around TO me
a personal order for the re- &c OF the
other. This l promptly 70 issue,
and Knox and I then h, ument
he standing for the law and I or rude
and primitive justice.
The argument reminded me A little Of
the famous discussion between the king,
queen and headsman in Alice I'm Won
deEland knOX's position was that as the
act committed by the man had been de-
clared by the court not to be rriminal,
/ could not keep him in prison Ny pO-
sltlon was that as he was undoubtedly a
scoundrel and morally a criminal, I GER
tainly could not let him out of prison
and that as for saying that I could not
keep him in, why, he was in. and that
was all there was about It.
II think Knox had the best of the a-gu-
ment as regards the law, but ] had the
final say so as TO the facts. AMI the man
stayed in for nearly a year longer. I was
sorry l could not punish both scouHdrels,
but at least / was able to punish one"
This letter was written by the man
who paraded his virtue upon every
possible occasion and invaded every
possible field in order to let his light
shine. He expressed great fear that
the courts would suffer if William j.
Bryan were elected TO the presidency
and constantly referred 10 himself as
the embodiment of the law. With the
passing Of Roosevelt and notwithstand-
ing the pledge of his successor to exc
cute my policies" there is reason
TO believe that there will be no more
berating of judges who perform theiI
duty according to the dictates of the
law and no more wilful violations of the
law by the chief executive of the ma
ton.

New York SUM-


THE old Concord stage coaches that
for years have been plying between
Fairplay and Silverheels. one of the
pioneer. routes of the Colorado mining
camps, have just been taken off and
automobiles substituted" said a west
ern man who was veteran of the
Rocky mountain mining camps. 1t is
about the last Of the old-time stage
lines.
The automobile can never hope 20
rise from its commonplace position as
a mere carrier. for the wild days Of the
west have passed forever. There was
a lot Of romance about the old Concord,
rocking and rolling its great egs-
shaped body through the wilderness,
plunging into new sights and new
scenes and always holding out a chance
of danger.
Tt is i'm the hold-ups that these old
stages figured most memorably. From
the rich mining camps of the noun
tains they carried passengers loaded
with money and express boxes heavy
with gold dust or bullion. The lonely
reaches of the routes offered a tempt
ing opportunity for highwaymen, or
road agents. Thirty years ago every
man who left a mining camp on a
coach carried a gun If he had any val
amount Of gold or silver. shipped there

many a stage guard has been shot dead

another. But the guards were nandi-

/ AUeHs AT PROHIBITION.

There are kinks in the prohibition law
recently passed in Tennessee and one
Conger Of McAfinnville in that state has
found a spot suitable for the circum-
vention of the new law. It is situated
on the top of the Cumberland noun
tains in Sequatchie county where the
state prohibition law. effective July
cannot touch him, and he is now having
a saloon built there. 1t is eighteen
miles from McMinnville and there is no
school house within four miles of the
place.
1t is reported that Conger has leased
all the land for four miles around in or
der to prevent the building of school
house. Ten or twelve barrels Of whis-
ky and a lot of cased goods are now
at McMinnville awaiting transportation
10 Conger's saloon. Regular hack lines
will be established to the neighboring
towns. As the legislature does not
meet until 1911 Conger expects to make
fortune,
1t is seemin ely impossible to enforce
prohibition even under the most favor
able circumstances. but this fellow
seems to have found d loophoie under
which he can operate without fear of
arrest. The business of the hack line
from McMinnville to the top of the
mountain will probably be as good as
that of the line running between Fargo,
n. D., and MoOrhead, Mimi, in the old
days. The thirsty citizens paid a
quarter a head in the Dakota town for
transportation across the river and
each on the other side. Getting back,
/ however, was quite a different matter.
