Bound to Become Great.

Sir William Foster, late physician
to the house of commons, tells a. good
story about Joseph Chamberlain in the
early days when they were both men,
bers of local debating society in Bir-
mingham. Mr.. Chamberlain at this
embryonic period would prepare his
speech carefully beforehand, write it
out. commit to memory and deliver
it without the aid of notes.
Once in the midst of his grafton he
came to full stop. He calmly began
again; but again broke down at the
same place. This time, however, he
coolly put his hand into his coat-tails
pocket, slowly turned over the leaves
and then went on again without the
slightest discomposure. "Such a mar"
adds Sir Walter, twas bound to become
great :..... -.

MORE THAN He COULD STAND
Absence of ;'Properties" Caused Actor
to Leave the "Saily Rotten Show"
in a Hurry,

Humorous recollections of a slip in
stage business turning thrilling eli
II. Sothern's book, as shown in the dra-
matte department Of the Sunday Post
and that brings to mind the funny eX-
perience of Taylor Holmes, the young
farce comedian remembered in "The
Third Party" and Ills Majesty Bunker
Beam
1t was when Holmes was with a
stock company in Newark, n. J. The
heavy man was q welI-known actor,
who was playing in stock to tide him
over the summer financially, and. he
was unaccustomed to the free and easy
way of doing without things used in
the play.
The regular stock actors made no
complaint when props were missing,
but improvised as best they could.
The opening night in "Ticket. Of
Leave Man." as Jack Dalton (the
heavy and Meter Moss (Taylor
Holmes) were supposed to be kidEap-
ing Bob Briefly to churchyard,
Holmes said to the heavy in the wings
just before their entrance:
Don't ask me for the light. Cut the
line"
"Why should I cut my lines?" de-
manded the heavy with all his dignity.
you'll have to cut them" insisted
Holmes. 81 haven't any lantern to give
you" j..
"My word, what bally rotten show"
said the heavy. 'Tm not accustomed
to this sort of thing" as he stalked on
the stage.
All his lines fied-excepting the one
he should have forgotten. He looked
blankly at Holmes, suffered and stam-
mered, then Numbered:
"Moss, give me the glim!"
Il can't gff you no glim; amt got
no glim," said Hol les. But the heavy
was now past comprehending.
Moss, give me the gIm-give me
the glim" he shrieked.
II amt got no glim. Didn't I tell
you not to ask for the glim? You
don't need no glim; it's light enough
for your dirty work." said Holmes,
frantically trying to ad lib and set the
heavy straight in the scene.
The heavy gave Holmes one disgust
ed look; snorted as he threw up his
hands, and said: "Good night, this is
awful. cannot stand it, I'm not used
to it." and Stalked off the stage. -Ieay-
ing the audience bowling with glee.

DANCER in Raw Pork.

There is considerable danger in eat
ing pork or pork products raw or not
thoroughly cooked. The disease fire.
quently resulting is called trichinosis.
1t is caused by certain round worms,
microscopic in size, that often infest
the flesh of hogs. -
OF 100000 hog carcasses. micro
scopically inspected by federal inspec-
tors in eight years, about one in every
thirty-nine contained these worms. OF
about 1000 American cases of trichino-
sis, 255 came from eating raw sausage
and 213 from raw ham.
In a community in Wisconsin last
year q cases developed in five fami-
lies and three deaths resulted from
eating sausage that was only slightly
cooked, These round worms die at a
temperature Of 40, so thorough cook
ing does away with possible danger.

Don't Be a Loafer.

One of the most important lessons
that Il child can learn is that money is
the representative of labor; Il reward
for services rendered; compensation
for doing something, and not gift to
be had for The asking. The penny that
is earned has vastly different aspect
from the one that is solicited. w hen
the child grows up he will find that
the world will not hand out money for
the asking, but only i'll return for
value. The growing boy or girl can
have no better lesson than to be com
PEELED to return something for their
spending money.

The PEOPLES Physique.

Some consideration should be given
to the effect that the change in loco
motion will make upon the physique OF
the people; for even the farmers are
now using the automobile, and the
horse is used for little but draft pur-
poses. Will not the race become lax
and nerveless that Tolls upon soft cush-
ions, protected in every way from the
hard joltings of the road? More and
more, machinery is brought into serv-
ice, and less and less physical exertion
is required in the carrying on of open
air occupations. Man touches q but
ton. and gas engine does the rest.
This makes things easier; but the
question is whether it confers an actual
benefit in the end.-Mobile Register.
