Comparisons Provo Too Much For a. Peace-
i'ul Country Editor.
He came in and took a. chair near our
desk. ' We were busy writing a double
leaded editorial in which large, cour-
ageéus looking capital letters formed a
good sized ' share. We had Webster’s
unabridged on at our side, and three
lead pencils sharpened ready for busi-
ness, whilethe “devil” stood by with a
butcher ,knifehready to sharpen other
pencils as fast as'we needed them. We
had just annihilated England, done up
Germany and planted the American hog
intriumph in Berlin, while France and
Spain and Turkey stood trembling -‘ as
they wondered when their turn was
coming. Our think tank was seething
and bubbling, and burning thoughts
were fast finding utterance in words of
fiery eloquence. It was then he came in
and sat himself down. He tilted his
chair back, elevated his feet to the top
of our desk and scattered enough of real
estate over our ‘ papers to raise next
winter’s potatoes. Then he laid his hat
on the floor and spoke.
“Fine day,” said he. “Very line,”
we granted. .
“Hope it will rain. ” Again.
“Bair’s block is nearly finished. ” We
made no reply to this remark.
“Is business pretty brisk?”
We said it was booming, having just
received three subscriptions.
“Fine window of Mr. Lanzendor-
“Swartz’s win-
dow is fine too. ”
This annoyed us. Then he kept quiet,
for ten seconds. ‘ ‘Breckstein has a showy
window,” he gurgled. Then we laid
down the pencil and closed the diction-
ary.
“Punxsutawney girls can’t touch Big
Bun girls for style. Glen Campbell
girls are away ahead of your girlshere.
DuBois girls beat yours all hollow,” he
went on. We are getting mad.
“Brookville girls ’way ahead of your
girls,” said he. “’Way behind Rey-
noldsville. Marchland girls much finer. ”
“What?” we yelled.
“Richmond ladies more stylish,” he
piped.
“Richomnd be d——d l” and then we
choked.
“You ain’t in it with Indiana girls. ”
That settled the matter. Our blood was
up. We can stand a great deal, but
when it comes to ranking our girls be«
low Indiana girls that passes the out-
posts of patience. So we gave the fight-
ing editor the tip and turned our eyes
away from the awful sight. The next
day the coroner held the inquest.—

STAGE FRIGHT.
Not the Sight of the Audience, but the
Sound, the Cause of It, an Actor Says.
In discussing stage fright an old actor
said:
, “It is not the sight of the audience so
much as its sound that worries the be-
ginner. Probably very few persons real-
ize what noise on average audience
makes. It is not loud or definite, but a
steady suppressed hum, like the whir
of the Broadway cable. It is the combia
nation of those little noises which are
present in every large assemblance, no
matter how attentive and respectful.
One moves an arm, another adjusts a
skirt, a third rustles a programme, a
fourth coughs, and so on. It is the
strangeness and indefiniteness of the
conglomerate of these sounds that star-
tles and 11115.8 “no beginner. He cannot
analyze i" and they sound angry
and throtr 1.1g in him.
“1 law: that I did not get accus-
tomed U) the noise for some nights.
The first time I went on the stage I did
not see the audience at all, for the foot-
lights seemed so high and bread that '
they made 1'. wall of fire beyond which
I could see nothing. The. murmur of the
audience on the other side cf that wall;
was awful. I quakod with the feeling of
a wretch pursued by a mob and convinced
that there is no escape.
“It is popularly supposed that only
beginners suffer 1 ‘ stage fright, and
that it soon (limp There are suc-
cessful actors and actresses who have at~
acks of the some sort every time they
go on the stage. and who will never get
over them. ”—Now York Si 1}.
Easily Accommodated.
An Irish actor well known in the
provinces arrived on one occasion at a
rather out of the way town. The man-
ager, when he reached the theater, ap-
proached him with apparent anxiety
and asked the “star” how many supors
he would require for the play he had
brought. "
“ Begorra, ” responded he, ‘ ‘not many,
excipt in one scene, one great sensation
scene, where the murdther is commit—
ted—in the Gyap, d’ye moind? There I
want twelve supcrs to march across the
ravine from right, tin more to defile
dmvn the mountain path, left; twinty
Faynians to emerge as ’twere from the
Gyap or the bowls av the earth and siv-
enteen peasantry to dash on from the
village.”
“Stop, stop 1” exclaimed the manager.
“We have in this theater only three su-
persl” ,
“What,” .cried the “star,” “only
three, d’ye say? Ah, well, thin, never
mind! Sure, I’ll make thim do!”—L0n-
don Tit-Bits.
A Greater Scheme.
“We mean to try a penny social at
the church next time, ” said Mrs. Watts.
“And what’s that?” asked Mr. Watts.
“ .very woman gives a penny for ev-
ery year of her age.”
“Better make it ,a penny for every
year she is under 70. Then the contri-
butions will be long instead of short. "
—-Indianapolis Journal.
Might Be.
When he asked for her hand, she re-
plied: “No, George; my heart is quite
at your service, but I think I had better
keep my hand myself. It might be use-
ful to me in case you couldn’t support
me, you know. ”—.-Boston Transcript.
