OurloiM letter lijr n narvnrd Man
Who flonml Under Wash In art on.
Some curious sldo llsbta on history, as
valunblo In their way a the moro wrl
ous sttulica, nro found In a littlo collec
tion of letters from a Revolutionary
soldier which nro preserved In the Har
vard library. They were written to
rolntlveB and friends in New Ilnmp
Bhlro by ono WlHInm Weeks, a Har
vard graduate, who was an otllcer In
Washington's nrtny.
Homesickness must hnvo been Hcvcro
nt tlluc though in ono of his letters
from Vnlley Forgo this soldier seems
to hnvo hud n hard strugglo between
his natural plensurc nt the honors
which ho was fortunate enough to bo
accorded nud his nostalgia. "This
Day," ho wrltos, "I must bo nt Gen'l
Sulltvan'R to tnlte. Dinner with him, tho
other day I hnd nB great un Honour
conferd upon me I had tho Honour
to tnko a Glass of Wlno with Gen'l
Washington & his Lady Hut nt th
Btuno time I should count ns great nn
Honour to have tho cnttsfactlou of hco
lng, conversing & taking n Glnss of
Wlno with my Friends t Iloao."
Thero Is n curious Indication of tho
stato of mind In tho Continental army
nt times during tho war In nnotlicr
letter, where Mr. Weeks says, "If my
Wages were not higher than I expected
when at Homo, I would by no means
tarry, but as they aro rnls'd, and for
tho Love I havo for tho Country, I can
by no Means think of leaving th
Army."
That tho manner of obtaining a Her
Yard degree has changed radically In
tho IciBt hundred years npptars In a
paragraph written nt Valley Forgo In
1778. Weeks had taken his A. II. threo
yearn before that, but evidently wns
anticipating an A. M. "As tho cam
paign Is coming on," ho wrote, "I hnvo
but Httlo expectation of coming homo
for my degree." But It appears that in
consideration of tbo $10 which his fam
ily forwarded to tho college In responso
to this request tho desired honor was
conferred.
STAGE LIFE TEN YEARS.
HE NEVER 8P0KE AGAIN.""
ho Dote That Bcnrrea tho PnrpoMi a
A VentrtloqnUt.
The following story Is told of a ven
triloquist, now fnmou but at iho timo
of thlB happening bo bard up ho used to
wtttk between tho cities where ho was
to appear. On one of these tours bo
enmo to Philadelphia on foot, and on
the road ho picked up a mlscramc Uttlo
dog "because It looked so nmcL Ilko ho
folt." Tho story will cxplntu what be
camo of the dog.
Tho first house he camo to wns a sa
loon, and of course he wanted n drink,
no had no money, but went In anyhow
to see what he could do. The proprie
tor, a Gcrmnn, snld:
"Well, what will you have?"
He wild, "I'll tnko a littlo whisky,"
and then, turning to the dog, ho asked:
"What will you have?"
Tho onswtfr camo very promptly:
"I'll take n ham sandwich."
Tho German Was f?o surprised ho nl
most fainted. Ho looked at tha dog a
moment and then asked:
"What did you nay?"
The dog replied:
"I said n ham sandwich."
Hans thought It wonderful that n dog
should be able to talk and aslcnd who
had trained him, how long it hnd taken,
etc, and wound up with:
"How much you tnko for him?"
"Oh," said Mr. Ventriloquist, "I
wouldn't ncll him at any price, but I
nm n littlo hard up now, nnd If you will
lend mo $50 I'll leave him with you till
I bring back tho money."
"All right," said Hans. "I Just want
him for n little while so I can show
him to some smart people I know
around here."
So everything was settled, tha monoy
paid, etc., and ns the ventriloquist went
out ha turned and waved his hand to
tho dog and said:
"Well, goddby, Jack. I'n como back
Boon,"
Tho dog looked nt blm and Mid:
"You mean sou of n gun, to sell mo
for $50 after all I've done for yout So
help mo Moaefl, I'll never speak another
ivord as long as live!"
And ho didn't Philadelphia Tims.

A new crop of stngo people 1b hnr-
vcotod In tho United Stutcs every ten
years. Ench decade marks tho begin
ning of n new epoch In theatrical his
tory. This fact docs not apply bo nptly to
stars and stngo pcoplo who dominate
In tho profession, for tho llfo of these,
so far ub tho public Is concerned, Is
usually somewhnt longer. But with tho
rank and fllo those who novcr rls
higher than tho level of minor roles
ten years Is nbout tho limit of endur
ance After having served before tho
public for thnt length of time without
doing anything sufficiently meritorious
or novel to attract unusual attention
tho actor or actress, as a rule, pnsses
away In bo far as tho profession Is
concerned, nnd a new crop Is harvest
ed among tho many anxious recruits
on the waiting list to fill tho depleted
ranks. ,
Men who deal In tho talents of stngo
people to the extent of reaping finan
cial return from their labors are better
qualified to "slzo up" tho fclluutlon
than others, and their cxperienco
teaches that few ordinary people of
the theatrical profession remain longer
than ten years In tho business. Tbcy
cither nchlevo distinction although
this Is tho exception rnthcr than tho
rule or elso drop Into other lines after
having been convinced by experlenco
that tho binge, so far as they aro di
rectly concerned, offers practically no
opportunity for advancement. For this
reason the rank nnd flic of the profes
sion is constantly changing, and tho
popular idea "once an actor always an
actor" Is easily disproved. Chicago

A Voytmr Story.
In London nn American, boasting of
the superiority of his country, was in
terrupted by an Englishman, who said:
"There's one thing In which this coun
try surpasses America. You never saw
on the other aido of the Atlantic any
fog thnt could match tho ouu which
hangs over London tonight."
"Fog! Fog!" cninc the uuhcsltntlng
reply of the irate Amorlcnn. "Why,
this Is nothing compared with somo of
the fogs we have around New York
harbor. Sometimes the fog Is so thick
nround there thnt it's a common thing
for the captains of tho ferryboats to
put on extra crews simply to pump the
fog out of the cabins. Why, there's u
