The Kliler Sot hern** Tact. ft vrns In the year 18<>8 or 1804. Due* fag the summer months Sot hern, with John T. Raymond and several other well known actors, occupied the local theater of a seaside summer resort, to which he and his company drew a houseful of people several nights in the week to hear and see them act- rehearse It really was in preparation for their next winter's New York sea­ son---the most important of Shake­ speare's plays. The little building had of course a gallery, and in the gallery the "gods" became so obstreperous on occasions that it was with great difficulty the play could be proceeded with. The ringleader, a well known rough of the town, was a man named Bill Hanra- han. One night a happy inspiration seized Sothorn. Having learned the name of this prominent member of the rowdy element, he addressed him in the midst of the most unearthly noises as follows: "Mr. Hanruhan, will you be good enough to take charge of the gallery and keep order for me, and I shall feel very grateful." The result was magical. Bill became at once an official of the theater and as such cracked the heads of a few of his erst­ while fellow rioters with such good ef­ fect that it was only a little time be­ fore the best of order prevailed.--Cen­ tury. Do Good--It Pays. A Chicago man has observed that, "Good deeds are better than real estate deeds--some of the latter are worthless. Act kindly and gently, Show sympathy and lend a helping hand. Yon cannot possibly lore by it." Most men appre­ ciate a kind word and encouragement more than substantial help. There are persons in this community who might rruthf 11 v say: "My good friend, chee- up.

Perhaps it's because he's an Irishman. Pat had been disturbed sev­ eral times in his single apartment by a Avell meaning lady missionary.

During the Sikh war the late Field Marshal Sir Neville Chamberlain, who then held the rank of colonel, called for volunteers to assist him in blowing up a bastion. Three or four responded, and the colonel led the little party close up to the point where the mine was to be fired. As soon as the ex­ plosives were In place and the fuse lighted the volunteers started to run in order to get out of the way of the explosion no less than to effect, as speedily as possible to retreat to the safety of the British lines. They had not gone a dozen yards before Cham­ berlain shouted: "Come back! There's to be no indecent haste, young men. We'll walk." And walk they did, while the fuse slowly sputtered down to the waiting powder. >OMOOOOOOOOO»1HKrMi)uM««MOO# J. HURWITZ, WEST MchENSY. ... ILLINOIS.

Clearly a person's character is Shown by the manner in which he laughs, or, rather, by the sound which he makes, It is maintained by a European psy­ chologist. The following, according to him, are unerring indications: "Those who laugh, in 'A' or who make a sound like 'A' are frank, loyal and fond of bustle and movement and are generally of a versatile character. Those who laugh In *E' are phleg­ matic and melancholy. "Those who laugh in 'I,' as most chil­ dren do, are timid, irresolute, candid, affectionate and ever ready to work for others. "Those who. laugh in 'O' are gener oils, bold and self confident. "Those who laugh In 'U' are misan­ thropes." Goes Like Hot Cakes.

That the country is the place to ac­ quire and preserve health is a theory that has been exploded by the United States census statistics. We have here­ tofore been advised to go to the hills and vales, the field and woodland, the lake and river, where there is an unin­ terrupted prospect and the air of heav­ en has a free sweep, but now this ad­ vice must be changed and the pent up cities recommended for health, if the census, authorities are right. According to the official figures the city has a decided advantage over the rural districts in the matter of human longevity. The average age reached in the cities is 38.2 years and in the coun­ try 31.1. There the urban has an ad­ vantage of 7.1 years over the suburban. The advantage of pure air in the coun­ try is apparently more than offset by sanitary and food „advantages in J&g city. Look Ont For Fever.

It was high noOn and - Monday. Worse yet, It was the thirteenth day of the month. A knock was heard at the kitchen door of the Burns man­ sion. The Chinese servant opened the door. A tramp of long and varied ex- periencaaccosted him: "I've been traveling and have played in mighty hard luck," observed the tramp. "I lost all of my money, and now I'm hungry--very, very hungry. Can't you please give me a little bite of something to eat?" The Chinaman comprehended the sit­ uation at once. A benevolent, placid smile spread itself over his entire countenance. "You likee fllsh?" he asked of the tramp. "Yes, I like fish first rate. That will do as well as anything.'" "Come Fliday," said the hospitable heathen.--New York Times. k K ' .
