A LETTER PRESS.
It Was a Great Bargain, but Ha Know
It Too Late.
One of tlio smokers had been ex
hibiting a diamond pin which he had
purchased of a hard up traveler and
made ut least a hundred dollars on
when the gray haired man heaved a
sigh and remarked:
“As for me, I never had but one real
bargain offered me, and I was fool
enough not to take that.”
"Something in the way of Jewelry?”
was asked.
“No; it was a letter press.”
“But I don’t see how much of a bar
gain could be offered in that.”
“No? Well, I will tell you. I thought
I was in love and was writing the girl
two letters a day. Six mouthy later,
when I knew that I wasn’t' 1h> love
with her, I busted up things, and she
sued ine for breach of promise.”
“But you had been careful in your
letters not to pledge yourself.”
"X told my lawyer that she couldn’t
exhibit one single loving sentence In
any of my letters—that is, uny having
connection with mptrimony.”
“Yes.”
"But when the suit came to trial she)
exhibited over forty letters in which I
said that I should die If she turned
me down, and the jury awarded her
$2,500 for her broken heart. Yes, sir.
and I could have bought that letter
press for $7 and had copies of my let
ters as fast as written and knew what
I was up against at the end. Great
bargain, gents—great bargain, and yet
I turned it down.”—Baltimore Ameri
can.
THEATRICAL STARS.
Some Famous Ones That Started on
the Variety Stage.
Edwin Booth was In his younger
days a member of a minstrel company
and, unless I am mistaken, appeared
In some of the variety shows of that
period. lie lived to become one of the
most noble and dignified figures of his
day as well as one of the most distin
guished actors that the English speak
ing stage has ever known. Joseph Jef
ferson was nlso a minstrel In the early
part of his career, and prior to that ho
and his sister, both mere children, had
been wont to perform on Boston Com
mon and pass the bat among the by
standers.
Lotta was known In the mining
camps of California and in the early
variety theaters of San Francisco long
before she came east in the sixties to
win money and fame—“a dramatic
cocktail,” John Brougham called her—
in the legitimate houses of Broadway.
William II. Crane used to play the
tambourine In a wandering minstrel
company. Nat Goodwin, Lillian Bus
sell and May Irwin came to the front
In the early eighties at Tony Pastor's
theater. Mr. Goodwin gave Imitations
of popular actors and lived to become
nn extremely popular actor himself.
Miss Irwin's remarkable humorous
gifts were shown In the condensed
versions of comic operas that brought
Mr. Pastor's entertainments to a close,
and It was in one of these that Miss
Bussell leaped into fame in a single
night.—James L. Ford In McClure's
Magazine.
Football aa Played In Labrador.
One must not imagine it is all work
and no play with the Labrador Eski
mos. Much to my surprise, I found
that our good old game of football had
taken hold in Ungava. The game is
played with a ball of sealskin stuffed
with grass. The goals are placed much
the same as in our own game, and
each player is armed with a short
handled sling made of several thongs
of seal hide bent in loops and attached
to a wooden handle. The ball may
either be tossed in the sling, kicked
or, should opportunity otfer, picked up
and carried. Bough tactics are not
barred. I have seen a man tossed In
the air and pitched headforemost into
a snow bank, while pushing, tripping
and blocking nre all freely Indulged in.
—Recreation.
The Clarinet.
The clarinet has the richest, sweet
est voice of all the wood wind Instru
ments, although its sound does not
travel quite so far as that of the oboe.
Whenever, as sometimes happens,
there are two melodies to be played at
once, the clarinet takes the lower pf
the two, while the violins play the
upper and more important one. But
in a military band, where there are no
strings at all, the clarinets play the
chief melody. The bass clarinet Is not
so smooth or so sweet ns the higher
ones. It has a rather choky sound,
though softer than that of the bas
soon—St. Nicholas.
Reassuring Him.
“A little final advice,” said a pro
fessor of elocution, addressing Ills pu
pils before the annual entertainment—
“go well to the front of the stage, don't
hesitate and don’t be nervous!”
"But, I say, professor,” remarked, a
very self satisfied member of the
class, “suppose I forget part of nry
oration?”
“Oh, that doesn’t matter,” replied the
professor. “On the contrary, the more
of It you forget the better the audi
ence will like it!”
Kept Him Busy.
“Did you do much sightseeing when
you went abroad?”
“No,” answered Mr. Cumrox. "Moth
er nnd the girls did the sightseeing. I
had to put In my time finding the
places where they cash letters of cred
it.”—Washington Star.
Man Killed Twice.
An English paper Is responsible for
stating that a man “was overtaken by
a passenger train and killed. lie was
Injured In a similar way about three
years ago.”
