James Warren Enters Front Stage
Takes Part Unexpectedly in FIRST IScence
OF Daddy Long Legs al The Bradley

james, alias Jimmie Warren, who
holds the Putnam amateur actors re
coru for getting the hook, appeared in
the first act OF Daddy Long Legs al
the Bradley theatre, Friday night.
Jim name was not down on the pro.
gram and his entrance was uneXpect
ed, aud Just bit unwelcome, espec-
tally To the management. Jim looked
out OF his element in n girls orphar-
age but ne was there for a minute any
how.
There are times when the uneXpect-
ed happens in stageland that makes
hit and is immediately,a added as feat
ure of the play. Jim is still at home
SO it is safe TO assume that he WAS not
hired to do his speciality.
Here is how Jim made his debut In
the "legitn:
Act. / Scene 1. A girls orphan as
YUM. Two girls seen AS curtain rises.
One girl goes to cupboard to get cup.
Drops cup. Looks alarmed and as il
about to cry. Other little girl speaks.
"Oh. You have broken our best
cup"
Entrance Jim to pick up the pieces.
Managers voice, heard from wings:
"Get oil the stage
Exit Jim.
Up TO the time that Jim entered the
piece WAS as written. The new stuff
was introduced by Jim on his own in
iiiative Jim WAS back of the stage
giving what assistance he could. He
did not know that the curtain had
gone up. When he heard the "little
girl exclsin, nYou have broken our
best cup and heard the tinkle of the
pieces, his gallsntry was aroused and
he went to help the poor "gurrel' who
was in trouble, although not in the
clutch of any william.
Whist happened when Jim left the
orphanage for the dimly lit back stage
only those present know. But Jim
was trying to do his darndest 10 help
and those down front enjoyed the adj
dition TO the scene, but you see they
know Jim and the manager didn't.

BUCHANAN.

To the memory OF Miss Carrie Comp
ton, daughter of Squire Compton. who
departed this life a short time ago:
It seems to me but yesterday
saw her robust and strong,
4 few brief months have passed away
The time has not been long.
/ little thought the time so near,
When she'd be called away
Into the country now unseen,
The land of perfect day.
She seemed 30 very fun OF life,
While we conversed that day,
It's hard to think that she Is gone,
That she's been called away.
The news of her death startled me,
1t made me feel so sad.
But later on ! heard new news,
That made my soul so glad.
The glorious news that came TO me,
Was greater news for her,
She sought and found the blessed land
That drove away her fear.
When Jesus came into her soul
She called her friends around,
with shouts of joy she told them all
What dear Saviour she had found.
O wondrous JOY in earth and heaven,
When souls are born anew
And Angels carry the news to heaven
That souls are coming through.

hand of death.
Bro. r. H. Cassidy was called to her
bedside and pointed her to the great
Physician, whose balm and gulead win
cure sin-sick soul. She was convert
ed two days prior to her death. She
called her friends and loved ones
around her bed and asked them to
meet her in heaven and the last thing
she said was GLORY to Cod" Weep
not father, mother, brothers, sisters,
friends and neighbors, Little Carrie Is
up in heaven where she will never suf-
fer any more headaches or burning fe-
vers, but where she will be able to sing
the songs of redeeming love with the
angels and redeemed loved ones around
the great white throne. If you want
to meet Carrie again, get right with
God and say:
But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt Of love ! owe,
Here, Lord, give my self away,
'Tis all that l can do.
