MADE AN UNEXPECTED HIT
Mark Sheridan, With an Act Not or
the Bill. ConvuIsed an English
Audience.

One often has amusing experiences,
the humor of which only strikes one
afterward. Such one occurred to me
number of years ago, at a very small
hall in the provinces, where the stage
accommodation was so limited and of
such primitive kind that some of us
had to use the back Of the stage as a
dressing room, our abluticns after the
show being sometimes performed in a
common or garden bucket placed on q
chair. One night-it was winter, and
the audience was almost as chilly as
the weather. had finished my turn,
and stripped to the waist, was "ablut-
ing" violently in the old tin basin,
when somebody made mistake, and
instead Of lowering the curtain, the
back sheet was pulled up, disclosing
me to view.
AS I had my back in that direction,
did not at first realize what had hap.
ter, l remarked, through the folds OF
the towel in which my face was
buried:
my word. somebody's making a
hit!"
Getting no reply, + looked up, to dis.
cover that my erstwhile companions
had vanished. and that, with dripping
name, was standing in full view OF
| the audience!
I was pressed very much, immedi.
ately afterward, to enter for the hun.
bred yards in the following years the.
atrical sports, as it was thought that
might establish a record.-Mark
Sheridan, in Strand Magazine.

1T was always said that the tariff
did not determine the prices because
there was so much competition within
the United States that they kept com
petition and trade on the level. But
haven't you seen the competition dis
appear? Haven't you attended, by
proxy, on congressional hearings and
court trials where the whole process
was disclosed? And these prices are
determined because this tariff wall
made it necessary to bring all the pro-
cesses up to the highest point OF com
petition. Suppose the owners of
twenty mills, which have been COM

the advantage The most poorly
equipped mills. And then what hap
pens? AS soon as the twenty are
combined, six or seven are closed
down and we pay on the products or
the others because we pay the money
that was needed to shut them up. So
the business of the country is stagger-
