Statistics have proven that only one-half of one per cent of the speeches made in Congress are lis- 1 tencd to. A great many Congressmen speak IN, but not TO, Congress. But every speech is published in the record. They send the rcc- ~ ords back home to show "What they told 'erri up there in Washington." Now the people back home think Congress heard their "Lem" tell 'em this. Now, here is my scheme to stop speech making. A Bill reading as follows: "Congressional Record must not only contain speech, but number of members, and names | who listened to speech, and why." For instance: "Congressman Post Hole arose to a point of information and spoke at length on, 'Is Locarno a town, or is it a Treaty ?' Length of speech, without waiting for applause, four hours, thirty-six minutes; attendance, Gout (Rep. N. Y.) : 'Unable to get out.' Sixtyforty (Dem. N. J.): 'Case of reciprocity, he listened to mine.' Lowbrow (Rep. Mass.) : 'I was asleep, even the good speakers haven't woke me up.' " Now I claim that will stop some speech making. The minute rt gets back home that "Lemmie" is talking to himself up there, "Lemmie" %V'You?know^why they won't lfet"n to anybody up there? They have gone out to smoke, that's why, and you know why they've gone out to smoke? Why, "Bull" Durham, of course. IT'S BETTER THAN ANY SPEECH EVE;R MADE.

Not that there was not a lot of sound sense la some of them. For oxample, it was considered unlucky to whistle in a dressing room. Well, the explanation of that particular taboo seems simple. Stage people are necessarily "nervy" and temperamental, and If anyone could be so unfeeling and Ugh then rted as to whistle It did not say much for the offender's in-'J terest In his work, and consequently for the play's chance. To hum the "Dead March" in the precincts of the theater was also strictly forbidden, very likely for much the same reason. The luck or 111 luck attaching to abrtnln colors probably had, if the truth were known, an equully prosaic origin. Green was considered unlucky. Probably some very bad play 1H which green was much used died n speedy and perfectly natural death. Greenroom gossips, who are always with us, decided that It was the- innocent color that killed It. The same explanation, I think, can be given for the run of 11L luck which, from time to time, seems to attach to vurious London theaters. Their ill luck consisted in having bad plays; when a good play was put on the "luck'' changed. Then there is the good luck which Is supposed to follow after a black cat has crossed one's path upon the stage. Hut this superstition Is age Did, and lsnrot confined to the theater. It . goes back to the time of nnclent Egypt, I believe, when the cat was worshiped. In America, curiously, It Is a white cat which brings good luck on the stage. No actor of the old - school would dreain of speaking the "tag"?the last few words of a play?during rehearsals. What the origin of this Buperstitlon is I cannot conceive. Hut I do know that when we were rehearsing "Our Betters" we spoke the "tag" on every occasion. And "Our Betters" ran for f>4<S performances.?

Tennis in Balkans With the object of encouraging tennis In Bulgaria an American diplomat has the laudible Idea of presenting a challenge cup for competition between members of the various tennis clubs throughout the country. The competition will be conducted on lines similar to those on which the Davis cup is run. Tennis, as a pastime, has not yet come* into Its own lu the Balkans, but every year the numbey of clubs Increases. The sporting associations are encouraging young boys and girls to take up the gnine. The initiative of the American diplomat Is expected to go a long way toward popularizing the game. Complexities William Lyon.

Governor of British Columbia, ns the representative of King George in that province of Canada. Like many another successful Canadian, he came from Scotland, about thirty years ago, bringing with him a frock coat, a tall hat, and a bundle of introductory letters. He was the son of the minister of the Imrish from <hich George Stephen, ater Lord Mountstephen, then President of the Cankdian Pacific Raiiwnv, had come, and so the fii-st office where he presented himself ,wus tout of T.

And, co* incident with his own development, has oome about the development or the Windermere Valley in British Columbia, where ho has made his home for some years. Mining in* terests first took him, back in lHttb, to the upper reaches of the Columbia River, where he commenced operations on the Sitting Bull claim on Boulder Creek, a tributary of Horse Thief Greek, near the spectacular Lake of the Hanging Glaciers.
