Bluffing a British Bore.

Arthur Cavlll, swimming instructor at the Multnomah Athletic club, Portland, sometimes comes through with a keenly caustic remark. Recently he sat with some friends at the Hellig, , Justin front of a.box in Which some near-society folk were having a theater party. A very talkative member of the box party was a nasal-toned young Englishman, whose raucous voice was almost continuously heard In a succession of inane small talk. Cavlll and his friends, just in front of the box, were having their nerves worn to a frazzle, but all endured the ordeal in silence until the foghorn tones were uplifted In an insistent inrltation to the cost of the party to visit bis sheep ranch and partake of the hospitality of the sheep camp. "I should be chawmed, dobtcbeknow,” the Englishman- was saying, “to have you 4rpp in any minute, but send me a word ahead, dontcheknow, and I'll kill the fatted calf." “That would be suicide,” said Cavlll, all too audibly, and throughout the rest of the play there was peace.— Portland Oregonian
