before which they principally appear. A
correspondent writes OF this matter in
connection with The Princess Zim-Zim." Z"
II wish TO protest" he says, against the
senseless encore by which an audience,
or some of it, after seeing and hearing
threats and blows. struggles and cries,
thefts and attempts to assault WONDER

the curtain on his own account. Is this
dramatic art? After many years Of play
going, can recall a few actors-a very
few-who respect their profession enough
TO refuse an encore-unless IL be a contin-
uatiOn OF the scene upon which the cur

Is ended. Then, II you please the prin-
cipal actor or the whole company, may

he felt would interest them on account
OF its unusualness. He decided to sing
one OF his Irish songs. The fighters
at first glOwered at the stranger, but
as Mr.. Olcott refused to be affected by
their glarings and continued with his
singing. they became less interested
in their fighting and more interested
In the singing. When the tenor had
stopped his song. the four were all
attention They had forgotten what
had been their main interest before
his coming. and were applauding and
asking for another.
In the meantime a little crowd had
gathered at the roadhouse-servants
and hangers-on-so that when Mr.. Oh
cott had sung two songs he was recog-
nized by one OF the audience. When
the rest became convinced that the
famous Irish tenor had sung only for
them. they crowded around to shake
hands. The sweet-voiced singer was
loath to inform his admirer that he
had an appointment at Tonka Bay, but
being a man OF honor he told them
frankly that he was in honor bound to
keep his engagement. So. after invit-
ing the group OF his admirer to the
roadhouse for a cooling draft. he re-
entered the machine and was whirled
away by his host to- Tonka Bay.

To his honors as a tenor chauneey
olcott has been forced to add those Of
rescuer.
II all happened very recently. Mr..
olcott was taking an afternoon spin
to Tonka Bay, near Minneapolis, in a
machine that was owned by a friend.
The two had gone from the Hotel
Radisson In the direction OF Lake Min
netonka, when they reached q road
house In the neighborhood Of Excel
sion. Mr. Olcott and his host alighted
to refresh themselves after their
speedy tour.
As they were about to re-enter the
car. they heard a scuffie, which caused
them to halt. Retracing their steps
toward the roadhouse, they heard loud
cries and profane language. Imme-
diately the hero OF ''Macushla" became
interested and Urged his host to come
with him into the barn whence the noises
came. The host told the tenor to 60
in and he would follow. The author OF
MY Wild Irish Rose was practically
in the barn when the host assured him
he would follow. When he entered
he noticed that a battle royal was
going on between three Germans ana
