Old Time Theater Rowdiss.

Rowdyism in London theaters was q
common occurrence in the old days.
as is shown by the following from the
London Post of Oct. ~, 1898:
1.-Two men in the pit ut Drury Lane
theater last night were 50 turbulent
and riotous during the last act OF
Henry " that the performance waa
interrupted upward of a quarter of IN
hour The audience at last asserted
their power and turned them disgrace
fully out of the theater. This should
always be done to crush the race OF
disgusting puppies that are q con.
slant nuisance at the playhouse every
night"

What RESPONSIBILITY Does.

The saying runs that as soon as a
lieutenant is made a commander he be-
gins to carry stick, and as soon as
commander becomes a captain he
turns religious" For justification of
the latter part of this assertion there
exists the undOubted fact that naval
captains are mostly serious minded
men who give some thought to the
greater things of life. Possibly their
hours of loneliness may conduce to this
frame of mind, though for the most
part their leisure hours are given up to
study of matters connected with their
calling One 'well-known captain there
was who used to hold prayer meetings,
which any member of the ships COM
pany could attend. Remember there
are no rates to be picked up here" the
captain would warn them before the
meetings started, meaning that any
one who came there hoping to curry
favor and thus get promotion would
be disappointed. And in this the cap
tain was always as good as his word.
