Frank Daniels and Burt Havenly are successful actors, but their theatrical paths have not always been rose strewn. Several years ago they were travel- ing together with a company in North Carolina, and hard luck had followed them everywhcrv they went. Paying engagements were scarce, and finally the members of the company began to clamor for their pay, already long past due. "Let’s disband," they suggested. “Wait until we get to Raleigh,‘ pleaded Haverly. “We always play to a big business there.” And he exhibited a telegram which informed them that every seat irl the house had been sold. This cheered the disheartened. 840‘ tors, and they went to Raleigh with light hearts. When they arm-wed they scrambled into an omnibus and started for a hotel. Daniels and Haverly mounted the seat Withethe driver and gazed oh the landscape that was pre4 sented as the old vehicle naihtled up the street. "Beautiful. isn’t it?” Daniels ex- claimed, and his companion smiled as he nodded his head. "And the sunset—it’s simply grand," he. continued. The ‘two men gazed entranced at a red glare in the horizon. They called to those in the ’bus, and all climbed out to witness the rare sight. “Sunset!" exclaimed the man who drove the ’bus. “Where’s any sunset?” “Why; over there,” and Beverly pointed to the glare. ~ “That’s no sunset," said the man, with a. look of disgust do his face. “That’s theopi'y houlsc burninf down."

Finally he said to the despair- ing mother: “Madam, if you leave the little dear alone with me a. few minutes I think I can succeed.” The mother had scarcely withdrawn when she was summoned back by the trium- phaint photographer, who exhibited a satisfactory negative. When they reached home the mother asked: “Nel- lie, what did the man say, to you when I left you alone with him?” “He thaid,,” lisped Nellie, “thit: thtill, you little rathcall, or I’ll thake you.”-—Bos- ton Post. The Horse was All Right. It is told of an old ,Baptist' person famous in Virginia. that he once vis- ited a plantation where the colored . servant who met him at the gate asked which barn he would have his horse put in. "Have you two barns?” asked the doctor. “Yes, sub,” re- plied the servant; “dar’s de ole barn and Mas'r Wades has jes’ built a new one.” Where do you usually put. the horses of clergymen who come to see your master?" “Well, sub, if dey’s Methdist or Baptist we gen’ully puts ’em in de ole burn, but if dey’s ’Pisco- pals we puts ’em in do new one.” “Well, Bob, you can put my horse in the new born; I’m a.

A Texan wrote to the Representative in Congress from his district asking about the market for horses. The con‘ stitucnt said the street-car companies should need horses. which were being killed and fed to the hogs in Texas. they were so cheap. "Phone is no mar- ket for horses in Washington,’ wrote back the Congressman. ‘IIorse-cars have just been replaced by trolleys and cable—cars.
