THE BAT"
IN LONDON.
RehearsaIs OF 1.-THE Bat" one Of the
most pronounced successes IN recent
years in the United States, have been
begun in London under the direction OF
Colin Kemper, credited with having
launched seventeen companies In the
same offering across the water. The
English cast includes Arthur Wotner,
George Relph, Drusilla Wills, A. Scott
Gatti and Nora Swinburne. It IS due
to open in London on Jan. 80. Another
New York production to be seen in Lon
don soon is THE Night Cap" which also
is to open the latter part OF this month.
Both are mystery plays. The existing
American play listed among the assured
successes is Welcome Stranger" In
which Harry Green. an American. Is
starring. Welcome, Stranger" already
has passed its Tooth performance.
THE DOCTOR
HAS HIS JOKE.
Although probably neither the doctor
nor his one-time patient can see the
point OF the Joke, this is an actual hap
pening brought out at an inquest over
a London man who had committed sui
eide. The relatives OF the deceased man
had found him dead in his bed. A doc
tor was summoned and he took one look
at the corpse and pronounced death due
TO heart trouble. An inquest was nee
essary, and there the discovery was
made that the mans throat had been
cut. The doctors explanation follows:
1T is one on me. When 1 was called
was told that the man was dead, and
l only examined his head and face. The
bedclothes were pulled up around his
chin, and I did not notice any wound in
his throat"

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Existing railroad labor troubles
and the averting of the strike of the
Maintenance of Way Workers pend
ing adjustment of the tentative cut
to % cents an hour, recalls the time
when in Kentucky, these workers
were paid 80 cents for a ten-hour
wOrk-day.
These conditions obtained about
twenty years ago when section
hands" received the pittance of 8
cents the hour and the foreman Of
railroad section gang was paid a
salary of $36 a month.
1t was time of general financial
depression throughout the country,
and railroad pay like all others was
cut to the bone. In the light of the
prosperous conditions that have OBJ
tanned among railroad workers for
years, it seems almost incredible
that little over a score of years
ago one class worked for 80 cents
day.

FISHERMEN ENCOUNTER TOUGH
ONE; HE GOT AWAY

Jonah and the well-known whale
had nothing on Harry Sloane and
Jacob Snyder, during a fishing trip
they took in the bay at Plmouth,
Mass.
The two men declare they met a
fish at least eight foot long, which
had a hide so tough that it could
not be pierced with an ak, a gaff-
hook, or with bullets from a revol-
yer, all of which they tried. They
declared that the inside of the crea-
lures mouth was so scaly that hooks
and gaffs made no impression, but
slipped off as though they had
struck a sheet of steel.
The fish, according to descrip-
tion given by the two men, was
gray on the back, and white under
meath and weighed at least 60
pounds, they said. Furthermore, it
had no tail. The fish got away.
