GREAT ACTOR DIDN'T SCORE
Question Whether Joke in This Case
Was on Booth or the Critic Who
Roasted" Him.

Edwin Booth was a great actor.
That is universally conceded. Nr.
Booth, however, never gained any
laurels a. a mimic. if We are to be-
licve a story told Of him many years
ago in the West.
1t was on the occasion Of a benefit
given 10 Junius Brutus Booth.
\ well-known actor was giving
limitations Of theatrical celebrities.
and in his repertoire was an imper-
sonation Of Booth delivering the
soliloquy from Hamlet"
The tragedian suggested initiating
himself, and, hastily donning the
necessary habiliments, he went on
and delivered the well-known lines.
the audience naturally inferring it
was the character actor whom they
were looking upon.
On the following day the newspa-
per stated that the Booth imita-
ton was vile; so bad, in fact, that
had Mr.. Booth himself witnessed it,
it would have made him very sad to
know what bad actor he really was.

MANY CURES FOR HlcC0UGHS
Able TO Find One That Will
Afford relief.

HiccOughs can be as troublesome
as any of the minor ills which aggra-
vate mankind. But from timesout
of mind there has been a remedy for
every ill-and hiccougbs share the
lot Of other ills in this respect.
One old cure for hiccoughs is this:
Take three OF four preserved dam
sons in your mouth at time, and
swallow them by degrees. A temp
tation, this would seem 10 be, to
children of another generation to
have hiccoughs.
Water drinking often stops this
trouble. The water should be slowly
swallowed, not gulped down-swal-
lowed, like the damsons, by degrees.
The best water treatment is this {:
Fill the mouth with cool water.
Hold each forefnger over the lobe
Of the ear, closing it tight. Then
swallow the water, very slowly. If
this operation is properly carried out,
it is almost sure to cure hiccoughs.
Still another remedy is sugar. and
this acts like a charm with some per-
sons. The sugar should be of the
granulated sort, and a full teaspoon
full should be taken at once. 1t
should be swallowed slowly.
Holding the breath is sometimes
efficacious. Hold it and count
twenty or thirty, slowly.
In severe cases of hiccoughs ac-
comranying illness, champagne, a
spoonful at a time, is sometimes
found of use. Sometimes, too. ex-
pert massage of the abdomen cures
hiccoughs

Here is a story that was told by

Recently a man omitted to hand
his tailor a few chunks Of silver in

the tailor party sued for the amount
Of the bill.
Thus it was that he found himself
on The witness stand one dav with

time had scarcely elapsed.
"Now, sir, Mr.. Tailor Man. mef-

Because," came the answer Of the
tailor. ''in your case it would have
