A Georae ArIIss Story.

George Ar.tss always spends the
greater pert of his vacation at his
mothers home, the home of his boy
hood, at Harrow Weald, England. The
grounds afford employment for several
men. among whom is an italian gar
dener, one Giuseppe Mollasso married,
with six children and wages of "a a
month.
To Mr.. Arliss one morning came Mrs.
Giuseppe Mollasso in tears and calling
upon a great procession of saints to
bear witness to the truth of what she
said-to wit. that she had no food with
which to feed her children and no mon
ey wherewith to pay the rent, because
her Giuseppe was being ruined by the
terrible "macheene." Imagining that
Giuseppe had fallen into the clutches
of some secret or political Blank Hand
Mr.. Arliss closely questioned her anent
the machine and learned that 1t was a
gambling device conducted as a side
line by an enterprising but unlawful
publican of the nearby village. Into
the slot OF this machine 1t was Mollas-
SOS wont on pay days to drop a six

a number of sixpences, but the eternal
gamblers percentage was against him,

A Difference Of Opinion.


The following account given by Hen
~ B. Harris of his induction into a
managerial career throws an interest
ing sidelight on the early stage history
OF May Irwin:
"One day while watching rehearsal
at the Hollis Street theater, Boston. of
The Widow Jones' in which May Ir-
win starred, friendly controversy
arose between my father and Mr. Isaac
B. Rich in reference to the production
Mr.. Rich contending that 1t was per-
fect1y absurd to make a star of May Ir-
win, and there were moments when my
father appeared to be weakening. These
rehearsals kept on for number OF
days, every one of which / attended.
One day Mr.. Rich turned e. me and
said, I think your fathers crazy, Hen

bills. and, in spite of the fact that he
was completely thunderstruck. he was

its striking trainmen and conductors
today from w. L. McKensington, minis

that If both parties would accept the
award 10 be binding the government
would defray the incidental expenses.
Speedy answers were requested. That
of the company was mailed to the min
lister at Ottawa. Mr.. Hayes declined to
say what 1t was.
Vice President Murdock. who sent the
reply from the trainmen, used the tele-
graph and gave ou- the documents con-
tents soon afterward. Mr.. Murdock
frankly confesses that he does not be-
lieve there Is anything to be gained by
that the men have offered to submit to
