A Londoner whose business is
coaching stage aspirants tells this
one:
"One day my work was interrupted
by weak-featured but rather pretty
girl Of about eighteen. She was taste
fully dressed, but had obviously been
crying. She said she was wishful to
adopt the profession of the stage. Had
she ever played In amateur produc-
tons? No. We're her parents pre-
pared to pay the fees7 She had neither
father nor mother. "Well. what are

She was housemaid In tho service Of
a crochety old lady. When the pro-
fessor advised her to return to her
mistress, she exclaimed: II can't bear

stand her any longer"

Toms kindergarten teacher took her
class to see the chickens in the school
yard. A homely brown hen was moth
ering a brood of fancy chickens
Matched in an incubator. The aristo-
cratic chicks had tufts OF feathers on
their heads. Tommy quickly noted the
difference between hen and chicks and
blurted out "Pshaw. she can't be their
mother" Then, after a moments con-
sideration, he added with an air of con-
viction: "Oh, guess she's only the
nursegirl."

man in Velvet" Had a Peculiar
Significance Centuries Ago.

!. s'To fhe little, gentleman In velvet"
was al favorite Jacobite toast In the
reign OF Queen Anne. BY "the little
gentleman in velvet" the Jacobites
meant the mole that raised the hum
mock against which the horse Of King
William III civilian Of Orange)
stumbled while riding in Hampton
court. The king was thrown heavily
to the ground, breaking his collar bone.
A severe illness ensued under which
the kings feeble constitution gave
way. and he died early in the year,
1902. He left no children and the
crown passed to Anne, sister of Will
liam's deceased wife, Queen Mary, and
a daughter of the deposed king, James
II. 1t was the plan of the Jacobites
to bring back to the throne James the
Pretender, q son, it was claimed, OF
James II by his second wife, Mary OF
Modena. The execution Of their plans
was not attempted until the house Of
Hanover came to the throne. The at
tempt of the Pretender James in 1915
was miserable failure. but the at
tempt of his son, Prince Charlie. In
1745, was a more formidable affair. He
collected considerable force in Scot
land, invaded England and reached
Derby before compelled to retreat. He
was finally defeated ut Culloden.
