TELEPHONING
ON THE STAGE

Some time ago We commented on the
use Of the telephone on the stage. but the
subject is too vast to be briefly dismissed
within the compass of ono note. II cannot
be that actors and actresses have no
knowledge whatever Of the telephone out
side the theatre, but this would seem 10
be the case judging from the way in which
they handle It on tho stage. In the first
place. the machine is usually put on a
table I'm the centre Of the room, where II 4,
horribly in the way Of everything else.
But worst Of all, the actor seldom thinks
of ringing up the central office. He loung-

mouthpiece casually and says. Hello,
Jones Is that your And curiousiy enough
It always is Jones, who appears 10 spend
his life hanging onto tho other end Of the
wire. or IL the actor does remember that
there is such thing as the exchange. he
does not trouble TO ring 1t up; he merely
raises the telephone to his lips and says.
Put me on 70 80 X" and there he Is at
once. Another strange thing is that he
seldom has any difficulty in making him.

beautiful lips with the mouthpiece. And,
lastly, he rarely, II every rings or. We
trust that the new secretary will see TO il
that special courses OF instruction in the
proper handling Of the telephone are given
10 all aspiring young actors and actresses
at the establishment which was founded
by Sir Herbert Tree.-London Globe.

WHEN PROFANITY WAS COMMON
Two Good Stories Concerning Weak
ness Of a Past Generation.

Dean Ramsay could not cOuntenance
profanity, but he managed TO tell some
good stories of a weakness which af-
flicted many in his time:
"A late duke of Athol had invited a
well-knOwn character, a writer OF
Perth. to come up and meet him at
Dunkeld for the transaction of some
day and hour when he should receive
the man of law. who accordingly came
punctually at the appointed time and
place. But the duke had forgotten
the appointment and had gone to the
hill, from which he could not return
for some hours. A Highlander pres
ent described the Perth writer's in
dignatiOn and his mode of showing it
by most elaborate course of swear
ing. But whom did he swear att
was the inquiry made of the narrator,
who replied: oh, he didna sweer at
ony thing particular, but just stude in
Ia middle of Ia road and swoOr at
LARGE have from a friend also an
anecdote which shows how entirely at
one period the practice of swearing
had become familiar even to female
ears when mixed up with the inter
course of social life. A sister had
been speaking of her brother as much
addicted to this habit-'Oor John
sweers awful, and We try to correct
him; but she added in a candid
and apologize tone. ma doubt it is q
great set aft to conversation"

81 remember" said Mayor Reyburn
of Philadelphia, I'VE all remember, the
time when the mildest storm would
make our water unfit to battle in, let
alone to drink"
The mayor smiled.
"The only man in those days who
could ever find a good word to say
for our water" he resumed, was
Peter Burmese, the optimist of the
court OF quarter sessions.
Actually l said to Peter one morn
ing after q storm, 4 couldn't take a
bath to-day on account of the muddy
water. 1t was like brown paste
"'Oh, took a good long BATH said
Peter. When the Schuylkill water is
like that it Is the best fluid in the
world to battle in. So medicinal, you
know. Better than Homburg, or Mar.
ienbad. or any of those places
"'But it is so muddy 1 said.
"That's just the point said Peter
It's medicinal mud, full of all sorts
of phosphates and things. Tonight
when you get home fill your bath

ward don't use any towels

towels said Peter. Stand before the

Apology Of Cub" Reporter Something
Of . Masterpiece.

whenever I see the name of Sena-
tor Tillman in print" said an old news
paper man. Il am reminded of little
incident that occurred several years
ago when l was city editor Of little
paper In q southern city.
Late one night q South Carolina
correspondent wired that he had failed
to get q desired interview because the
senator had taken q train for Wash
ington. but that we might catch him
ourselves when the train passed
through our city. Hastily searching a
time table, found that the train men
toned was due in q few minutes.
There being no other reporter at hand.
I seized Bud Lunkly, q raw reporter
fresh from the country, told him to
meet this train at the station and get
some sort Of expression from the sen.
ator on . subject then Of much impor.
lance.
"Some time later Bud strolled calm
" In and informed me that after q per-
sonal search Of every car on the train
he had failed to find Senator Till
man.
do you mean that you looked
into all the sleeping car berths. Bud ?
said I.
"'Yep. that's what DONE said Bud
But, Bud exclaimed, in conster.
nation. weren't q good many Of these
berths occupied by ladies'?
"'Sure,' said Bud.
".But what did you do when you
found q lady who had retired?'
"'When I busted the curtain open
and looked in and woman jumped up
and screamed. took of my hat and
says: That's all right, lady. you
amt the man I'm looking fer!'"
