the owner of the hostelry was obliged

a schooner of beer as a chaser. After
he'd bad two, and bent the brass rail
which cost my husband twelve dol

leave,
"On the way home, what do you
suppose that cute old thing did? Why,
he took a notion to visit the packing
department of a dry goods store, and
ran in just as the elevator boy pulled
the rope, soaring seven senses out of
him. Well Mr.. Hotchkiss got him
home at last and we all had a good
laugh on him
"He used to stand too at the en-

dearie, there's one thing that hurts

be it's little bit foolish but you know
everywhere we've played we've all

our audiences here like us and are

they're afraid of knocking the lines

on what lovely easy time actresses

voice which has characterized his
parts:
"Sure. That's the reason we're call

worked like stock"
Another sad thing about our life, -
resumed the hostess, els the fact Of
having to play and sometimes laugh
and sing after hearing of the death of
some loved one. Oh, that's just too
terrible" she sighed.
But then there's humor too, Ma,
averred Mr.. Morrison, helping himself
to another sandwich. Suppose you
tell about that elephant of yours!"
Miss Melrose laughed.

yes, he was certainly curious little
