fered to wage that he could not
cover a story satisfactorily for a
New York city editor. Keenan's pride
was touched by the others doubt and
accepted the challenge.
A city editor of mutual acquaint-
anee was t%elephoned and the wager
explained. He gladly agreed to assist
in it's settlement and instructed Keen m
to attend a session of the all-night
court presided over by Justice Green
"a tribunal before which come the
small malefactors arrested after dark
and to report the proceedings.
The next night. armed with pad,
pencil and reporters badge, Keenan,

that was not only accepted and
printed but brought him requests from
several other New York papers TO DO
snecial stories for them. These offers
Keenan, declined, believing that he had
sufficiently indicated his character
as an, able reporter. But he did take
the trouble to awaken his skeptical
friend from an early morning sleep
and collect the amount of the wager.

upon the stage; no man could have
risen to the eminence to which Keenan,
has attained without years of con-
slant application. But, Keenan, has
not always been an actor. He frankly
admits that prior to his adoption of
the stage as a medium for his talents
he was at one time a book agent, at
another, an insurance solicitor, and
at still another-for a glorious period
of six m~onths-he was a police court
reporter upon a Boston newspaper.
Some weeks ago in the Lambs club
Keenan,, with several other prominent
actors, was discussing his beginnings.
When he related somewhat of his
newspaper experiences he started a
discussion as to whether n mans
early talents ever entirely desert him.
One of the party held that Keenan,

COLONIAL BALL
and Very Elaborate Plans are Be-
ing Made for it.

The entertainment committee of the
local lodge'of Elks is planning to wind
up its services, as a committee, to the
lodge by holding colonial ball which
will be the grandest and most
pompous affair of the kind ever held
in the three cities 1t is the intention
of the committee to secure the skating
rink for the occasion if possible so as
to accommodate the. many people who
would like to be spectators at the ball.
In case this fails. however, the ball
will probably be given at the Elks
hall.
The plans as outlined thus far are
to make the affair colonial in every
way. The ladies will dress in the old
fashioned hoop skirts and the men
will powder their hair and wear knee
breaches and satin waistcoats. All the
old fashioned dances will be revived
for the occasion and in fact the parti-
cipants will be transported back to the
coed old days of yore Many of the
members of the lodge have signified
their intention of making UP to repre-
sent the historical figures of the colo
NAL times and the ball will be very
realistic. Feb. % will probably be the
date of the ball.
