"It is the sixth unsuccessful drama I have written." ~ The manager of 117 theaters gave him an encouraging pat. on. the shouT der. 'Look here," he said. "I'll tell- yOU what you want to do. You want to, be gin less ambitious. Begin- with a one act curtain raiser. And after you've wrote this here curtain raiser send :It around with the sentence printed on the cover, 'You can play this for noth Ing.' I guarantee you'll get a hearing then. Ten to one. by gosh, you'll get played." "A good idea." murmured the young man. "That's what it is," said the great manager. "I got it from Sidney .Grun dy. It's how he began. His first play was a curtain raiser, 'A Little Change.' He said on it, 'Play it for nothing.' And the Haymarket theater took him up." Spectacles Demoralizing. A certain 'Somerset vicar made him self notorious by the vigor with which In the seventeenth century he inveigh ed against the use of the newly invent ed optic glasses, since they perverted vision ajd made all thing appear In an unnatural and therefore a false light Microscopes and telescopes, with their array of lenses. he declared to be impostors, since a man could not see so well with two pairs of spectacles as with one. Some asserted itto be sinful to assist the eyei, which were adapted by Providence tosthe capacity of-the Individual, whether good, bad or indif ferent "It was argued that society at large would become demoralized by the use of spectacles. They would give one man an unfair advantage over his fellow and every man an unfair ad vantage over every woman, who could not be expected on aesthetic and. intel lectual grounds to adopt the practice." -London Spectator. Put His Foot In It. On one occasion in Scotland a guest arriving rather late at a country house was quartered in the haunted room. Although professing to be- a skeptic. like many others, his courage -vanished with the light IDetermined, however, to protect himself as well as possible, he placed a loaded revolver under his pillow and awaited events. As the clock struck midnight be saw a fleshy hand at the end of the - bed, and, steadying his nerve, he addressed the visitant thus: "If you do not instantly remove your hand I shall .fire without further warning." He counted three and then discharged the bullet: A bowl of pain which aroused the house-, hold followed, and it was soon discov ered that the successful marksman. ad shot away two of his own toes.

A -dagger thrust would follow a poor joke and banishment any sign of declinig wit Once when Fougere, the jester of Czar Paul, of fended his royal master he was permit ted to depart in peace. In the middle of the night, however, he was aroused and ordered to get up and prepare for mmediate banishment to Siberia. In vain the unhappy man pleaded. He was bundled into a dark van and driv en away on his long journey. Day after day, week after week, it lasted. Upon arrival he stepped out into the presence of-the czar. All the time he had been driven not toward Siberia, but around and around St Petersburg! Polite Notice Boards. At the hospital just opposite the en trance to the East India docks and the Blackwall tunnel-under the Thames notice boards are set up asking the drivers, for the sake of those who are ill within, to walk their horses past the building. That is a common enough request, but what gives it a peculiar interest here is that the carter, having complied or not with the modest, de mand, is confronted at the other- cor ner of the building by another board, saying, "Thank you, driver."-A Wan derer in London. An Event. "What's the matter? You look as If something extraordinary had happen "Something extraordinary has hap pened. Do you see that street sweep er-the fellow who is stirring things up?" "Yes.

Some remarkable mistakes in me morials have totally escaped notice un til it was too late to rectify them. The spurs on the boots of Cromwell's statue at Westminster abbey, London, are the most interesting feature of the monument although they generally get no attention at all from sightseers. They are worn upside down. In a painted window on the staircase which leads from the floor of Westminster palace to the committee rooms an in scription on a sword wielded by the "Black Prince" has the words "Prince of Wales." Again, in the fresco de picting the embarkation of the pilgrim fathers in the corridor leading from the outer lobby at St Stephen's to the house of lords the Mayflower is shown to be hoisting the union jack, a flag which did not come into existence un til 250) years after the days of the his How WoxalI Was Named. Near Schwenksville, Pa., is a village that bears the name of Woxall. This wonderful name was the result of an error upon the part of the postoffice de partment In Washington. The place was known many years ago as "Crop pestettel," or "Crowtown," and later as Mechanicsville, but when a post office was established there in 1888 neither of these names was satisfac tory, and it was decided to choose a new cognomen. Many were-the sug gestions submitted to the postoffice de partment, but all were found to be too nearly like the name of some other postoffice to be acceptable. One day the village storekeeper saw the word "Noxall" upon a piece of calico and called the attention of several friends to it At once all agreed that "Nox. all" would be a fine name for their town. So the postoffice authorities were notified. Soon. a letter came from Washington approving the name that had been chosen. but in the letter it was spelled "Woxall." So Woxall be came the name of the village.-Phfla delphia Record. What Puzzled Her. A woman whose religious educationi had been received in the plain edifice erected by an unassuming. New Eng land congregation was- persuaded, much against her will, to attend. divine ,service in one of New York's most showy churches. She showed from. the start that, notwithstanding her pu ritanical training. she was Interested.In the proceedings. She studied the elab orate ceremony, the architecture, the richly tinted windows and the altar decorations closely. By and by her eyes became fixed on the ceiling. Her friend wondered what particular fea ture of those lofty heights held her attention for so long a. time. During a lull in the chanting of the choir she tried to find out "Oh," said the New England- wo man In tQgs of infinite concern, "I was just wondering how on earth they get away up there to dust the rafters!" -New York Post. What Is "All Wool?" I have met a county magnate, a wealthy man who would not be put off with anything but the best, if he knew it, clad in a handsome "homespun" suit, the delicate blue gray mixture of which I happened to know was pro duced by the judicious blending of old blue stockings, such as navvies wear with old white stockings.

A company of young American tour Ists visited the home of Beethoven in Bonn and were unrestrained in their expressions of wonder, admiration and approval of the room where the mas ter h'ad lived and worked.

The old caretaker stood there, stern and silent Whep the performance was over the young lady turned to the old man and said: "I suppose any musicians have been here and have played on this in stument?" "Paderewski was here once, ma dame" "Ah!" she sighed. "But," continued the faithful guard ian, "when some one urged; him to play on Beethoven's piano be said, 'No; I am not worthy."
